TIGHTNESS In running;
Is an essential quality in
the home sewing machine.
The "Globe" Is the lightest
running machine In mar
ket today.
A NOISY, rattling, sewing
machine is a nulsajice any
where, but more especially
In a home. The "Globe"
If properly attended to Is
silent when working.
SIMPLICITY in construc
tion Is of the utmost im
portance In the selection of
a sewing machine. There
are fewer working parts in
the "Globe" Machine than
any other.
BECAUSE of lta sim
plicity of construction the
"Globe" Sewing Machine
is easily learned and man
aged. Shuttle, upper ten
sion, needle setting and
spool winding, etc., are ail
automatic
4
GtiOBE Sewing Machines
will wear a lifetime: Fric
tion Is reduced to a mini
mum at every point. All
the working parts are
made from the best case
hardened steel, and money
will buy no better at any
price.
IN THE matter of attach
ments for special work,
etc., the outfit of the
"Globe" Machines Is the
most complete we have
ever seen; nothing essen
tial or desirable being
wanting.
THE cabinet work and
outer castings of the
"Globe" Sewing Machines
are marvels of beauty,
combined with which to
that solidity which insures
durability.

ly handsome.
IN FINISH, take It at any
point you will, there Is not
a careless or thoughtless
touch In the entire con
struction of the "Globe"

QUAY AGAIN IffllPMI
The Old Mao Still Has o Firm Grip
Upon l'cnnsy tvnnia I'olttics.
GREATEST 01 HIS VICTORIES
Defeat of Apportionment Schemes Will
No loubt Put ths Alan from licavcr
in Control of the Natlonul Dele-Cutes-Camcron
Is Ploacd.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
llarrlsburg. June 2. "Senator Quay
has airaln triumphed over his political
foes. Ills frustration of the scheme to
apportion the state was a signal vic
tory for the man from Heaver and his
friends over the Hastin;s-Martln-Ma-Kee
combination. It shows that the
"old man" still has a llrm grip on the
Republican machine In Pennsylvania.
This is the greatest victory Senator
Quay has achieved since the nomina
tion of Delamater nearly five years nno.
He ia pleased with the result and be
lieves It will put him in better shape in
the coining flRht for control of the na
tional deputes. Senator Cameron,
too. Is natislled with the result. He is
depending on his colleague to elect him
two years hence and believes the man
from Heaver will control the next legis
lature as absolutely as he does the pres
ent body.
Senator Quay has divorced from him
by his tight against the administration
some of his most faithful and skilful
lieutenants. Secretary of the Common
wealth Heeder, of Kaston, who Is sure
to carry Northampton and Lehigh
counties whenever they are needed for
his friends, naturally is with Governor
Hastings. Hank Commissioner Gllke
son, who controls Bucks county, and
Adjutant General Stewart, whose popu
tarlty in Montgomery county has never
been disputed, are also lined up against
Senator Quuy. Attorney General Me
Cormlck, who does about as he pleases
in Lycoming and Clinton counties, is
standing by his chief.
The line-up on the a' portlonment
question does not indicate that all who
opposed Senator Quay on this issue will
fight him on other matters. In the bat
tle for senator two years hence Chris
L. Magee, who stood by the governor in
the recent fray, will be found in line
with the Beaver man for Senator Cam
eron's re-election. Cameron and Magee
have been friends for a generation, and
the Pittsburger will bring to bear all
his political influence and sagacity to
secure Don's return to the senate for
another term. As for Dave Martin, he
is pledged to oppose Cameron. Martin
has no firmer friends in the senate
than Senators Kauffman, Baker and
Saylor. all of whom are pronounced
antl-Cameronltes.
It Is too early to predict whom the
administration will support for sena
tor, but It may be said with certainty
that Governor Hastings and the mem
bers of his official family will not do
anything to help Cameron. Charles
Emory Smith, of the Philadelphia
ress, stood by the governor In his fight
against Senator Quay on the apportion
ment question, and it seems to be the
general impression that General Hast
ings will reciprocate by aiding the
Quaker City editor in the campaign
which he will make to succeed Cameron.
Judicial Apportionment.
The Judicial apportionment bills will
go to a conference committee. The
house and senate are so far apart on
this question that it Is believed the
committee will Tiot be able to agree
upon a bill satisfactory to both bodies.
Eight weeks ago the house sent Its
judicial apportionment bill to the sen
ate. It lingered in the committee over
a month and was then amended so as
to make it practically a new bill and
reported. This proposition has at last
gone through the senate and will come
over to the house early In the week
for concurrence. Chairman North, of
the houne Judicial apportionment com
mittee, is disgusted with the senate
bill. He says It Is unfair and unjust,
to say nothing of its constitutionality.
There Is reason to believe the senate
bill will fall because of Its relation with
the unlucky number, thirteen. The bill
was introduced on the thirteenth day
of the month, and on the thirteenth
day of the succeeding month It was re
ported out of a committee composed
of thirteen members. The measure
first went down In defeat by thirteen
senators voting against It. On the
13th day of the month, and when the
vote was reconsidered, It carried by a
majority of thirteen.
The religious garb bill will be taken
up In the house on Monday for con
currence in the senate amendments.
It will then be sent to the governor for
his action. The governor Is expected
to sign the bill and accompany the
message giving notice of Its approval
with a statement giving his reasons
therefor. William G. Kerr, of Pitts
burg, was here last week looking after
the Interests of the Junior Order of
the United American Mechanics, of
which he was state councillor for two
terms. Mr. Kerr Is the originator of
the movement to prevent nuns and
members of other religious sects from
teaching In the public schools In their
habiliments of office. He Is well pleased
with the amendments Inserted in the
bill by the senate, and has advised his
fniends In 'the house to accept the
change. "Senator Doyle's arguments
against the bill," said Mr. Kerr, "were
plainly lllogoclal, weak and very crude.
I have been reliably Informed that he
violated a pledge to vote for It when
he cast his ballot the other way. Gov
ernor Hastings should sign the bill
when It . reaches him without delay. He
will thereby settle the disputed ques
tion for 'all time., Pennsylvania has
no time for sectarianism In hor public
schools or any other of Its Institu
tions." . '
lnrty Workers Taken Caro of.
The administration has taken good
care of the faithful party workers who
looked Bitter the details at the state
Republican headquarters of the guber
natorial campaign last fall. Chairman
Gilkeeon has received, as his reward,
tihe office of bank commissioner at a
salary of $6,000 a year.- George D.
Thorn,' of Gettysburg, 'chief clerk at
state headquarters, has been appointed
to a clerkship In the state department.
Thomas J. Lapptit, 6f Philadelphia; R.
H.: Bterfet, of Meadvllle, and John T.
Smith, of Bristol, clerks, have been ap
pointed to position In the banking de-
pa Vnt. Clarence E. Seltz, of Eas
t "J clerk to 'the superintendent of
pl,,jlc buildings and grounds, and Ed
ward C. Baxter, of Philadelphia, the
faithful old colored messenger, has
been appointed to a lmllar position in
the state department. Miss Maud C.
Jones, of Bristol, tenographer and
typewriter, holds the same position In
the tanking department. A. D. Fetter
olf, of Morrlstown, secretary, holds the
place of chief clerk of the house of rep
resentatives as n, reward for his ser
vices, and Jore B. Ilex, of Huntingdon,
BeciUtniy, Is resident clerk of the house.
The break between the party leaders
over the apportionment question settles
whaltever chance Bank Commissioner
Gllkeson may have had of succeeding
himself as chairman of the state com
mittee, fr'enntor Andrews Is quietly
getting In Hive for the place and the
chances are dwldedly In favor. He can
not be Induced to pay he la a candidate,
but his friends jee-m to think there Is
no doubt of his selection. Senator
Quay would like If Lieutenant Gover
nor Lyon would take the chairman
ship, but that gerttlemnn Is too busy
with his private affairs to undertake
the management of a state cnmpalgn.
Smtors Penrow, Thomas and Grady,
of Philadelphia, have also been sug
gested for chairman. SenHtor Quay Is
said to favor a politician from the coun
try districts. This Is t'iken to mean by
Andrews' friends t h rut the Beavor man
has the Crawford county senator In his
mind, tind at the proper time will rec
ommend hl3 selection.
01 R SHIPS ABROAD.
American War Vessels at Southampton.
Lavish Dlsplny of Stars and Stripes in
the town.
Southampton, June 2. The American
warships lying In Southampton water
preparatory to sailing for Kiel, whore
they will take part In the opening of
the North Sea Baltic canal, have add
ed much to the gaiety of this town.
The harbor today was alive with boats
and launches from the American ves
sels, and all day long the pier where
the boats arrived and departed was
lined with people watching the move
ments of the blue Jackets and their
officers. Since the arrival of the war
ships Southampton, which Is doubt
less the best affected place In England
towards the United States, has been
luvlsh in Its display of the stars and
strips, and very many of the shop
windows contain American devices.
The American warships are anchored
off Netley hospital, where there are
also two Italian cruisers. Sailors from
the vessels are constantly going ashore,
and Americans, Italians and English
mix with the bonliominie characteristic
of their class. The American flagship
has many visitors, all of whom are
shown every courtesy by the officers.
Yesterday the mayor of Southampton,
attired In his official robes and chains
of office, returned the visit of Rear
Admiral Klrkland. When the San
Francisco arrived she fired a salute
which the town was not able to return,
having no guns.
The United States steamship Alliance
steamed slowly last night outside, and
then shaped her course westward. She
Is bound for Newport, but will prob
ably call at Madeira. Her decks were
crowded. with officers and men. As
she passed the flagship she fired a
salute. The squadron will probably
sail for Kiel on June 11.
WILL FIGHT IN TEXAS.
Corbcttnnd Fltzsimmons Are to Meet In
October.
New York, June 2. The Herald says
that there Is now little doubt that the
long delayed battle between James J.
Corbett and Robert Fitzslmmons will
take place In Dallas, Tex., In the fall.
"Dan" Stewart, the representative of
the syndicate of Texans who have put
up the money to bring off the match,
arrived In this city yesterday and
showed certified checks to the amount
of $41,000 the size of the purse for
which Fitzslmmons and Corbett are to
fight.
This money 'Mr. Stewart Is prepared
to post with the stakeholder at a mo
ment's notice as a guarantee that the
event will be decided In the Lone Star
state, and that every contract made by
him will be faithfully carried out. Ac
cording to :Mr. Stewnrt, there Is no law
In the state of Texas that will In any
way prevent the meeting. "The con
test," said Mr.. Stewart lr.st evening,
"will be scheduled for decision In the
second or fourth week In October."
JAPAN HAS HAD ENOUGH.
Ilcr Army Willing to Yield to tho Do
mnndsof the Powers.
San Franclco, Jun . 2. The corre
spondent of the Umlted Press at Toklo,
writing under date of May 19, per
Bteamer Belglc, .which arrived, this
morning,' says that Japan's surrender
of that part of Manchuria, which had
been ceded to her by China, was not
an art of the cabinet proceeding on Its
own responsibility.
It was endorsed by the army and navy,
the commanders of which preferred
surrender to the powers rather than
to face a new enemy, the nine months'
campaign having greatly Impaired
Japan's fighting capacity.

at Detroit.
Philadelphia, June 2. The tropical
heat that has prevailed since Thursday
has reaped a terrible harvest of death
In Philadelphia. The prostrations from
the heat number several scores, and on
Friday there were two deiuths, three
yestertffiy and the climax was reached
today ( when seventeen persons died
from heat prostration. The thermo
meter today In the weather bureau of
fice at Its maximum at 2 o'clock regis
tered 1)5 degrees, two degrees lower
than yesterday's maximum. The low
est .point touched today was at 5.30 this
morning, when It stood at 7!1 degrees.
From that time on until 2 o'clock the
mercury went booming upward until It
reached 95 degrees. Fortunately the
day was Sunday, and tho workers In
the mills and manufactories were able
to rest and seek what coolness they
could. But for this the mortality wquld
undoubtedly have been much higher
than It was. Besides the seventeen
deaths there were a score of prostra
tions reported by tho police, and how
many more there were In the house
holds of many families they alone
know.
Shortly after 4 o'clock a thunder
shower cooled the nlr and the thermo
meter fell twelve degrees In nn hour.
The relief was not of any long duration,
and at 8 o'clock tonlght the thermometer
had mounted again. Reports received
from points throughout eastern Penn
sylvania show that the heat In that sec
tion has been as great as In Philadel
phia, although not so deadly In its ef
fects. Little promise of relief is held
out by the weather bureau, and another
dreadful day of suffering seems in store
for Phlladelphlans tomorrow.
Tcmrcrauirc at Other Points.
Hnrrtaburir. Pa., June 2. The Intense
heat continues without abatement. In
many of the Industrial establishments
men have been compelled to suspend
work. Several persons have been over
come by the heat, but no fatalities have
been reported. The crops are suffer
ing for want of rain, and the local
weather record for twenty years does
not show such continued high tempera
ture for so long a period.
Tho average temperature for the last
four days has been 96 degrees, but In
exposed places the mercury has gone
much higher.
St. Louis, Mo. June 2. At 3 p. m.
today the heat record was 97 degrees,
but a light breeze relieved tho heat's'
Intensity.
Detroit, Mich., June 2. Detroit today
experienced the hottest weather of the
present hented term, the mercury rose
till It reached 95 at 5 o'clock this after
noon. The weather office at 10 o'clock
reported the mercury 80. No prostra
tions were reported.
Kansas City, Mo., June 2. The
weather here today was Intensely hot,
although a strong wind blew from the
southwest. The official thermometer
registered Sl, but street Instruments
ran up the 100 mark. No prostrations
were reported.
Washington, June 2. The hot wave
which hiss hovered over it'he enstern
and middle sections of the United
States during the past few days has
been a record breaker, and the officials
of the weaither bureau are unable at
the present 'time to predict any relief.
There Is an area of high pressure that
Is centered over Tennessee, which has
caused the present excessive heat to bo so
Intensely felt. This Tilgh pressure which
has persistently hovered over Tennes
see, Is known as the "permanent high,"
and has been contributed to very large
ly by Kouthorly winds.
The folllowlng are some of the maxi
mum temperatures reached: 94 nt
New York; 96 at llarrlsburg; nt Phil
adelphia and Washington, and 94 at
Baltimore.
At Philadelphia the record has been
broken by two degrees. At Washing
ton the thermometer has been even
higher than, 9fi at this time of the year,
as In June, 1874, when the temperature
rose, to 102. In New York city It wns
three degrees hotter todny than on any
second of June In the past decade.
Ilcnt In Southern Titles.
The southern cities east of tho Mis
sissippi river have been feeling the
effects of the hot wave to a great de
gree. The following are the cities In
which records of high temperature for
this date wcr3 made today: Vlckslmrg,
98.2; Memphis. 98.1; Chattanooga, 98.4;
New Orleans, 94.2; Mobile, 96.1; Atlanta,
98.7; Augusta. 100.1; Savannah, 98.1;
Charlotte, JJ8.5; Raleigh, 98.0; Louis
ville, 98.2; Indianapolis, 98.1. Notwith
standing the fact Hhat the record shows
that the thermometer has been six de
grees higher In Washington than It
marked today, It Is doubtful If the peo
ple and animals ever suffered more,
and two deaths occurred,
Chicago, June 2. The hot weather In
Chicago continues and Is causing much
suffering. The weather bureau report
ed the highest temperature of the day
as 92 degrees.
Pittsburg, Pa., June. 2, Today the
thermometer registered 95 degrees and
tonight Is pegged at 90. As fnr as
known no serious prostration from heat
occurred today.
GRESIIAM'S MEMENTOES.
A Dundlo Bf Hickory Sticks Prepared for
i Friends.
Washington, June 2. There Is a cher
ished bundle of hickory sticks at the
state department, every one cut by
Secretary Gresham with- his own
hands, and designed by him as memen
toes for presentation to friends. All
of them were obtained from the abun
dant timber In the grounds of the pres
ident's country placo at Woodley.
.One of these sticks the late secretary
gave to Postmaster General Blssell,
just before his retirement, and another
to Private Secretary Thurber, and a
third to Edward S. Bonlck, the chief
clerk of the state department.
In each case the secretary, with per
haps some premonition of what was
Impending, snld to the reclppnt, "I
want you to keep and use this stick In
remembrance of me."
Tho bundle which still remains at the
slate department will be polished and
mounted and presented to some of Mr.
Gresham's closest friends.
It was Mr. (Ireshnm's Intention to
have them prepared, but he delayed do
ing so because, as he told one of his
friends, that "the man who fixes them
for me won't take any money for It, and
I don't want to give him all this work
without seeing some way of reclproct
tutlng." (The sticks nre' naturally very highly
prized, particularly as most of them
were cut-in the short interval between
Mr. GpBsham's first attack und his last
Illness.

cell on his return from religious ser
vices In the prison this afternoon. He
told a fellow convict of his intention
nnd the latter Informed a keeper who
went to Hensehler's cell and found
him hanging at the end of a rope that

WRGCK OF THK COMMA.
Addltlnnnl Statements Concerning tho
Disaster Are Uivon-Many Aro Killed
bv I looting Timber.
San Francisco, June 2. Captnln II.
L. Heed, the well-known marine sur
veyor of this city, In a despatch from
Mazatlnn gives some additional par
ticulars of the Collma wreck obtained
from third olllcer Hanson, who escaped
on the deck house, nnd A. J. Suther
land, who clung to the seats of an over
turned life boat.
The heaviest squall of oil those ex
perienced came after the stonnior had
foundered and while passengers and
crew were struggling In the water.
The force of the gale at this time was
dreadful. Many were washed from the
wreckage to which they clung. Some
were killed or rendered unconscious by
being struck by timbers, which were
dashed about with resistless fury.
Hafts and boats were overturned. Had
It not "been for this squall many more
undoubtedly would ha-e been saved.
The gale drove rafts and wreckage
before It with great rapidity. Mr. Han
son saw n raft pass at 6.30 p. m. on
the day of the disaster. On It were
three men. They drifted very fast and
were soon lost from view. He also saw
a raft on which were Mr. Chllhrry and
six others. These men hail two oars
nnd seemed to be making for shore.
Arr. Hanson also saw a boat in which
was First Olllcer Griffiths nnd four or
five men. When last seen this boat
was trying to pick up the purser, but
it was not seen again, nnd It Is sup
uosed to have been swamped In the
heavy sea.
Every one of the survivors, except
Sutherland, Is badly bruised by belns
struck by the wreckage. He says he
saw two ladles alive nnd then saw
them drown without being able to ren
der them any aid.
Captain Washed Into the Sen.
It Is reported that Just as tho steamer
went down Captain Taylor was washed
from the bridge Into the sea and that
there ho was struck by a piece of
wreckage and killed, or so stunned that
he was unable to make further effort to
save himself. He had attempted to
heave-to under tho slow 'boll, but could
not get the vessel's head up the sea.
Then ho tried going ahead at full speed
two or three times, but the wind threw
her off and she fell Into tho trough of
tho sea. Some of the survivors say tho
engines could not drive the steamer In
the teeth of the gale or else they were
disabled. Sutherland and Hanson both
tell harrowing stories of tho misery
they witnessed while keeping them
selves nlloat. Many of the bodies which
floated past them were entirety nude.
Apparently the children wero nil
drowned In the cabins. The Collma had
on board JlCO.Ono of treasure.

WANT PENNSYLVANIA'S SON
Keptihlicnns In tho West Will Work In
dustriously to Sccisro tho Nomina
tion of Senator Cameron at tho
Next Nuilonnl Convontlon,
Washington, June 2. Senator Tom
Carter, chairman of the National He
pubtleun executive committee, who ar
rived In Washington yesterday, Is more
willing to talk about presidential possi
bilities than he was while In New York.
Hu expressed his opinions freely In an
Interview ns follows:
"The Itocky Mountain and Pacific
coast country, in my Judgment, will
work industriously to secure the nomi
nation of Senator Cameron for the
presidency. He Is a sound protectionist
and a fearless advocate of the cause of
true bimetallism, which consists In tho
free and unlimited coinage or both gold
nnd sliver at n fixed ratio; and a ratio
of 10 to 1 Is the most liberal adopted by
any nation In the past. The national
committee, as an organization, will not
take any position for or against silver.
It Is no part of the business of the
committee to undertake to declare
party position on current questions.
That task Is leflt to the party when as
sembled In national convention. Indi
vidually the membrrs of the committee
generally reflect the sentiment of the
states from which they come on the
money question. It Is needless to In
quire whether the Republican party Is
going to take notice of the silver ques
tion. That question Is becoming as
wide as commerce and absolutely Irre
pressible. The party seeking to Ignore
It convicts Itself of unpardonable stu
pidity. No individual can predict what
communities may do In such contin
gencies as may arise In the future, but
It Is safe to say that a majority of the
states west of the .Mississippi river can
not be held In line with any pnrty which
exhibits hostility or manifests Indiffer
ence on the subject of the free and un
limited coinage of silver."

MISS COLEMAN'S SUICIDE.
Tho l?ccd Wns Dclihcrntly planned, but
the Cause Is Still n Mystery.
Dunkirk, . Juno 2. There Is much
speculation In this city as to the cause
of tho suicide of Miss Elsie Coleman,
the society favorite and heiress. Percy
McCIellan, of Harrisburg, Pa., who was
to have been wedded to the oead girl
next month, reached this city today.
He Is completely crushed by the blow,
and says that he can ascribe no reason
for her killing herself. He received a
note from her, written Just before she
died, but It contains nothing beyond a
farewell.
A strong friendship, was established
between Miss Coleman and a young so
ciety man of Fredonla, N. Y., and some
ascribe her suicide to the fact that she
was to marry another than he. This
gentleman says that about a week ago
she purchased a revolver in Buffalo and
told him of her doing so, at the same
time saving that she feared she had

LONDON'S WILD AFGHANS.
Nnsrullii Knhn nnd Ills Kctlntic Mnko
Things l.lvcly-Tho I'rlnco Shocked at
I nglihh l.iidics in livening Dress.
London, Juno 2. Nasrulla Khan, tho
second Hon of the Ameer of Afghanis
tin, who Is now visiting England, is
not a social success. When he makes
visits nccompanled by some of the
members of his suite he becomes a so
cial anxb'ty. The nutlves of the party
live In barbaric style at Dorchester
House. They sleep on. mattresses
placed on tho floor and cover them
selves with rugs, declining to use tho
more comfortable beds. The English
ofllclals who nre supervising the party
had to correct their habit of pocketing
the silvf r plate from the tables of their
entertainers, a habit which occasioned
considerable more or less adverse com
ment during th"lr flay In India, but
which,' it appears, "they were then al
lowed to follow if they could escape the
observant eyes of their hosts. ,
According to the Afghan idea this
(date was Intended ns a present to Nas
rully Khan, nnd his followers therefore
felt themselvi-s to be at liberty to ap
propriate It to their own use. Nasrulla
Khan can use a knife and fork In eat
ing, but ho prefers to use his Angers.
The members of his suite Invariably
use their fingers, disdaining to use the
table Implements of civilization.
A plpe-bf arer r.ittends Nasrulla Khan,
nnd at every opportunity ho hands to
his mtrter n pipe loaded with tobacco
strongly charged with opium. The dig
nity of the Afghan prince .approaches
sulkinws. He Is greatly amazed by
the position held by ladles In society
hero, and refuses to be reconciled there
to At Lady Tweodmouth's party,
where he first saw n largo gathering of
ladies In evening dress, he refused to
go into the drawing room and declined
to give Lady 'Lanslowne his arm in
goir.g Into th supper room. He
scanned Lady Lansdnwne attentively,
nnd then marched several paces In
front of her into the supper room. Lady
Lansdowno following, half amused,
half Indignant.
Nasrulla nnd Victoria.
In his audience with the queen, Nas
rulla Khan spoke In broken French, tho
queen helping him now and then with
a timely word. He afterward expressed
amazement at overhearing her majesty
speaking Hindu to her attendant, Mun
shi Abdul Karlm. At the Derby, ho
said he supposed it was nil arranged
beforehand that the Prince of Wales
should win the first race and the prime
minister the second. He added that It
would have been so In Cabul. The In
dia oflice allotted ff.o.ooo for the enter
talnment of the prince and his suite.
This money will be chiefly expended In
presents.
On Thursday the soldiers became so
mutinous tlpit. at an English officer's
suggestion, the prince's body guard
wero allowed out In the park In charge
of Sergeant ltawley of tho Eighteenth
Hussai, nnd on the horses belonging
to that regiment. They were on parole
nnd behaved very well, but on the same
evening, when the foot soldiers were
taken out for an airing In n wagonette,
several of them bolted, and the last
straggler was not brought In until the
small hours of the morning. Yester
day morning an English army surgeon
made an inspection of the stables, with
tho result that tho whole contingent,
horse, foot nnd artillery, were taken In
the afternoon In three wagonettes to
St. George's public baths to perform
much needed ablutions. Mops, palls,
brooms nnd wnter hose were tirlskly
plied at Dorchester house during their
absence.
Next week Prince Nazrulla will start
on his tour of the provinces, and, as It
would be Impossible to take nil his peo
ple with him, tho London authorities
are nervously apprehensive of what
may occur when the restraining pres
ence of their prince Is removed from
the wild Afghan soldiers.
