SUBWAY (Continued From Page 3) though the first one-ton slab was lifted Saturday to test out the mechanism. The heavy rain of Saturday scarcely delayed the work on the river wall and the Stucker Brothers Construction Company went ahead with the ex cavation work when the water inter fered with the concrete operations. Between the Cumberland Valley and the Philadelphia and Reading railroad bridges the water collected on the un paved sections of the wall. Early to day gai'.gs of men were on the job placing the concrete blocks. By this evening the walk will likely be fin ished between the bridges and it is the intention of the contractors to con tinue to Market street. While another gang continued the excavations and placed stringers on the stretch between Market and Wal nut streets to-day a third gang began the actual construction of the steps above Calmer street, the northern edge of Hardscrabble. To Finish Before Cold Weather "Hurrying? Of course we're hurry ing." said one of the officials connected with the company to-day. "We must do so, you know, in order to finish the job to Maclay street this year. Yes, we would like to get through with it before cold weather prevents. Late October or November 1 had been men tioned as the time, hut it is probable that the finishing touches will not be added until December 1." What is true of the wall and dam Jobs Is equally the fact on the Paxton creek interceptor, although the high water due to heavy rains interferes with the workmen to some extent. The great gutter has been finished to a point a few hundred feet above State street, however. Fort Washington 25-plece band with orchestra every Tuesday and Thursday. Regular or chestra Saturday.

A large crowd gathered at the Kiel station and as his majesty departed the people cheered and sang patriotic songs.

By Associated Press Vienna, July 27. Reports from Hungary state that Servian troops on board a steamer on the Danube near Temes-Kubin, have fired on some Aus trian troops. The Austrians returned the fire and an engagement of some importance ensued. It is considered probable that this is another version of yesterday's encounter. According to yesterday's version, the encounter occurred near Semendria, [twenty-four miles southeast of Bel grade. where some vessels convoying Austrian infantry were said to have been fired on from the Servian side of the Danube And to have returned the fire. By Associated Press Paris, July 27.—The Bourse opened with a somewhat reassured feeling owing to the fact that hostilities be tween Austria-Hungary and Servia had not actually begun. Parisian Bank shares recovered slightly but Russian government bonds were quoted frac tionally lower. A wireless dispatch was received from the French battleship Jean Bart to-day stating that President Poincare expected to arrive at Dunkirk at 5 o'clock Wednesday morning. The French squadron accompanying him has already passed through the Straits between Denmark and Sweden and has arrived in the North Sea. * By Associated Press St. Petersburg, July 27. —In spite of the general unfavorable symptoms in the situation between Austria-Hungary and Ser\'ia and of the effect produced by the arrest in Hungary of Geneial Radomir Putnlk, chief of the Servian general staff, a better feeling was no ticeable here to-day as the result of yesterday's diplomatic conversations. It is understood that the long inter view between Sergius Sazonoff, the Russian Foreign Minister, and the Aus trian Ambassador especially was re sponsible for this improvement of sentiment. It is still hoped here that the voice of Berlin may be heard at the oppor tune moment in the interest of peace. Austria Pronounces Reply Unsatisfactory; Vienna, July 27. —A communication issued by the Austro-Hungarian for eign office to-day sets forth the Aus trian view of the Servian reply to Aus tria's note demanding the cessation of the Pan-Servian agitation and the punishment 6f those concerned in the assassination at Sarayevo of Archduke Francisco Ferdinand and his consort. The communication also gives the rea sons for Austria's dissatisfaction with Servia's reply. It follows: "The object of the Servian note is to create the false impression that the Servian government is prepared in great measure to comply with our de mands. "As a matter of fact, however Ser via's note is filled with the spirit of dishonesty which clearly lets It be seen that Servian government is not seriously determined to put an end to the culpable tolerance which it has extended to Intrigues against the Austo-Hungarian monarchy. "The Servian note contains such far reaching reservations and limitations not only regarding the general prin ciples of our action but also in regard to the individual claims we have put forth that the concessions actually made by Servia become insignificant. "In particular our demand for the OPTOMETRISTS IN LINE FOR BLANKS Show Desire to Comply With the Requirements of the State Bureau This Morning £ Scores of appli- cations for state A licenses to prac n tice optometry ap- Jfptpeared in the morning mail at the Department of Public Instruction 11 (ijnnjnWVH if to-da.v as a result li_ the notice of the l||y* State Bureau of Y- Medical Education ——saMl and licensure that it would proceed to supervise that branch.

Chief of Mines Roderick is improv ing in health very slowly. participation of the Austro-Hungary authorities in investigations to deter mine accomplices In the conspi. icy on Servian territory has been rejected while our requests that measures be taken that sections of Servian press hostile to Austria have been defeated and our wish that the Servian govern ment take the necessary measures to prevent the dissolved Austro-Probe as sociations continuing their activity under another name and under| an other form has not even been con sidered. "Since the claim in the Austrian note of July 23 regard being had to the attitude hitherto adopted by Scr via, represent the minimum of what is necessary for the establishment of permanent peace with the southeast ern monarchy, the Servian answer must be regarded as unsatisfactory. "That the Servian government it self is conscious that its note is not acceptable to us is proved by the cir cumstance that It proposes at the end of the note to submit the dispute to arbitration —an invitation which is thrown into its proper light by the fact that three hours before handing in the note a few minutes before the expiration of the time limit the mobili zation of the Servians took place." It was pointed out here to-day that Austro-Hungary being a signatory to the Second Hague convention would be obliged formally to declare war but as Servla did not sign that con vention such declaration might be un necessary In this instance.
