Immediately telegraphed to the prince o
"Wales , who was In charge of the arrange
ments for tha reception of the czar an
czarina , and who will accompany the Ilus
ulan visitors to Dalmoral ,
The prlnco of Wales , the duke of Con
naught , M. dc Stnal , the Russian ambassado
to the court of St. James , Lord Hosebery
and a number of high military olllclal
arrived at the jetty from Dalmeny at 1
o'clock and were received by an escort o
the Ennlsktllon dragoons. Haiti was fall
Ing heavily and the sky and general sur
roundlngs were mo t forbidding , but In spit
of tills enormous crowds of people lined th
way to the docks and greeted the arrlva
of the royal party with the greatest en
thuslasm. The nrlnce of Wales wore th
uniform of the KlelT dragoons and the duk
of Connaught was In the uniform of th
Scots guards.
After Inspecting the reception room , th
rojal party joined the duchess of Ilucclcuc
and the countess of Lyttnn and embarkc
on board the steamer Eantallon Castle herder
order to meet the c/ar and czarina. Th
channel fleet , which lined the Filth o

the royal party traversed the lines.
The Russian Imperial jachts on thel
nrrlval were saluted by the licet and Immc
( liately dropped anchor. The Eantallo
Castle soon afterwards ran alongside th
Standard , the latter having their Russia
majesties on bpard.
The prince of Wales , the duke of Con
naught and M. dc Staal went on boar

pcrlai travelers and the Diltlsh prince

all that could be wished for , there was n
mistaking the fact that the people of Lelt
ami Its vicinity had turned out In grca
numbers , determined to give the Imperla
travelers a hearty welcome to the shore
of Scotland The whole harbor was full o
merchant vessels from all parts of the worl
and they were all decked from stem t
Btern with bunting and placed In th
ncafpst possible trim on both sides of th
water so that after passing through th
lines of powerful war ships , the progres
of the fitandinl up the rirth of Forth wai
parade-like In the extreme.
The piccautlqns taken afloat for the pro
lection of their majesties were unprccc
dented , It Is believed , In naval annals
Ticket boats , steam launches and torpcd
boats of the sma'ler class , from the wa
ships Majestic , Magnificent , Rcpulso an
llcsnlutlon , each detachment commanded b
a lieutenant , formed a complete net aroun
the Russian Imperial yacht In order , os
tcnslbly , to prevent the shore bolts fron
crowding about the Standard , but In reallt
to prevent nny possibility of on attempt t
commit a dynamlto or other outrage. Th
shore boats were In such vast numbers on
the water that there is no doubt that th
precautions taken by the British naval au
thorltics were warranted.

DU1JLIN , Sept. 22. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) His ex
cellency , Most Rev. Dr. Martlnelll , arch
bishop of Ephcsus , recently appointed dele
gate apostolic to the United States In suc
cession to Cardinal Satollt , arrived In Dub
lin last evening , on a brief visit to the
Dublin branch ot the Order ot St Augustine ,
of which he Is general. His excellency Is
accompanied by Vciy Rev. Charles O'Drls-
cell of Brjn Mawr , Pa. , American provincial
ot the Augusttnlan order. Father O'Drls-
cell studied theology under Dr Martlnelll
at Rome and was present at his consecration ,
His excellency Intends to leave Dublin to
morrow for Cork , where another branch ol
the Augustlnlan order exists , and to sail
on the Campania from Quecnstown on Sun
day for New York.
Dr. Martlnelll was born In the parish ol
St. Anna , near Lucca , August 20 , 1S48 ; was
iccclvcd Into the Order of St. Augustine De
cember 0 , 1863 , and became a profcssoi
January 6 , 1SC3. After a distinguished
course ho was ordained priest In March , 1S71 ,
For sixteen > cars he filled the chair of theology
elegy at the Irish Augustlnlan college , Santa
Maria , In Posterula. In 1S89 ho ( was electeil
general of the order and on the conclusion
of the term of his ofllco lie was re-elected
for twelve } cars last September Ills nom
ination as envoy involves his retirement
from the generalship.
Dr. Martinclll is said to be learned , hum
ble , letlrlng , shrewd and true In his Judg
ment of men and things , and may be trusted
to repeat the successes of his predecessor ,
Cardinal Satolll. He Is of low stature , darli
complexion , well marked features and pleas-
and countenance.
TALKS OF HIS MISSION.
An Interviewer , having called at the Au-
gnstlntan convent , Thomas street , Dublin ,
famous as the scene of the execution ol
Robeit Emmet a century ago , was received
courteously by Dr. Martlnelll , who spoke
candidly , though with natural reserve on
some topics Questioned as to the duration
ot his mission , he replied he did not know
how long ho would remain In America as
delegate apostolic.
"I go as any other delegate , " he added.
"No opinion ot that kind can be formed , ex
cept In case of a temporary and express
mission. I am there at the disposal of the
holy father. There is no flxcd term of of-
flco for an apostolic delegate. "
He went on to bay In reply to further ques
tions , he Intended to make Washington 7ils
headquarters He would remain general of
the Augustlnlan order until the Feast of
Pcnticost , next jeat. Dr. Tomns Roilrlgues ,
a Spaniard from the Philippine Iblands , had
been appointed vicar general locum tcnens
In his place. He did not know when the
regular election of general of the order
would take place. That would depend on
the Holy See. Approached on the labor
question , so Important to America , and
asked whether ho had any special Instruc
tions In reference to that quebtioii , ho replied
plied"No. . The world alreadj knows the
views of the pope on the labor question. I
have no special mission In connection
with It. "
The irtervlewcr having -ventured to refer
to the Amoilcan presidential election , his
excellency smilingly remarked ho was
aw are the election was pending , and added ,
iiut a dele-gate Is only for ecclesiastical
affairs , and the Holy See cannot interfere
with that. Wo will take charge of the. ec
clesiastical affairs ot all Catholics without
dls'.lnctlon of politics or nationality. "
Questioned as to the length of Cardinal
Satollis stay in America after his arrival
ho said : "I do not know exactly hov long
he will remain He Is awaiting my arrival
and probably after a week , more or less ,
ho will leave for Rome. Cardinal Satolll
v.lll receive the '
cardinal's hat at the con
sistory to bo held In November or Decem
ber. "
WHERE HE LEARNED ENGLISH.
The Intcrv lower having remarked on Dr.
Martlnclll's command of the English lan
guage , his excellency laughingly replied.
"I know it a little better some time ago.
You know I had been fifteen } ears teach
ing as professor at an Irish Augimtlnlin col
lege at Rome. Wo aluajB spoke In Eng
lish to students , but in 18S-J I was ap
pointed general of the order , so I lobt some
practice at the language. I hope , however ,
to be able to recover the lost ground. " Ho
stated ho ! > ad been In America
for three months In 1S93 , visitIng -
Ing the American province of the
AugiiEtlnlan order. Asked as to his Impres
sion of America , ho said "Well , you can
say I was pleased , very much pleased , when
there for the liberty and good will I cn-
Jojed. In every street car , train and public
place I went , from over } body I got the
greatest signs and proofs of esteem moio
than In Catholic countries , you may sav. If
you like. "
Questioned as to how long ho Intended to
remain In Now York , ho replied ho did not
know , but If the passage across the At
lantic was as rough as that from Iloljhcad
to Kingstown ho would require sometime td
rest In Now York , whence ho would pro
ceed direct to Washington

LONDON , Sept. 22.Mr. . JbUa Lowthcr ,
member ot parliament ; for ho Hamnicr-
smith division of Shorcilltch , v as the princi
pal speaker last evening ( t a meeting
called to express sjiripathy ! wlth the Ar
menians and to Impress uporl the govern
ment the necessity of Halting steps to pre
vent any further massacres.
To the astonishment of the jingoes who
had called the meeting by the distribution
throughout Shorcilltch. , and its vicinity of
placards , headed by a blood red cross , below
which were ) the words , . "Abdul , the Hloody
Murderer 01 Maniac , " Mr. Lowthcr , who Is
a conservative and an ardent Imperial fedcr-
atlonlst , and who Is believed to have the
ear ot the government , promptly threw cold
water over the war enthusiasts , and also.
Incidentally , definitely defined the position
of the government In the mutter.
Mr. Lontlier began by stating that he was
authorjrcd by the foreign ofllco ( ot which
the nnrquU of Salisbury Is the head , as
well as being premier ) , to say that Grea
Britain at the present moment Is con
fronted by an agreement between the Um
great central powers ot Europe , with Tur
key , that If Great llrltab attacked Turkey
alone , no matter on what excuse or pretext
It would mean a European war.
The strtcmcnt caused quite a sensation
and a number of vigorous protests agalns
Inaction upon the part ot Great Urltaln
were made by the moro hotheaded ot th
assemblage. But the level-headed porttoi
of the community were In the majority , an
when the meeting adjourned Mr. Low the
had succeeded In Impressing upon his audl
cnce that discretion , under the prcsen
circumstances , Is a far better policy to
Great Urltaln than a useless display o
valor , which might within a very shor
time place the very existence of the Brills
empire at stake.
The Berlin correspondent of th
Times quotes a Constantinople dls
pitch to the Vosslschc Zcltun
from an unusually well Informed corre
spondent which Is said to have evaded th
censorship of the Turkish officials and whlcl
sas ' Last Wednesday and Thursday ever }

loitered in the streets waiting the word o

On Thursday , the last day , officers for the

The remainder of the day will be given up to

Klaboiato arrangements have been made

1-cadquartcrs. In addition , the St Louis ,

About 200 delegates had assembled at the

who welcomed the delegates on behalf of the
local bankers. President U. H. Pullen then
dclivcicl his annual address.
WORK or Tun CONVENTION.
He declared that the great increase in
membership during the jtar had been due
to the protective work of the association , by
which aheady many skilful professional
bank criminals had been brought to jus
tice Ho hoped that by next jear "da > s of
grace" would have been abolished in every
state in the union. The question of express
monty orders wr.s one of competition and he
thought their sole effort should be to re
strain the competition Within legal limita
tions. On the political phase of the money
Question he said ;
"I assume that It Is the purpose of each
and every member of this association to be
honLS Jn allthe relations of life , even
political. A man who Is politically UIB-
honest Is unworthy of confidence In busi
ness. Nations are made up of individuals ,
and national honesty should be as precious
to each Individual as his personal honesty.
"Honesty Is the corner stone of good chai-
actcr In thn Individual and the nation alike
"The American Rankers' association , dur
ing Its tvventtwo years' history , has stood
for honesty Individual honesty , ofllclal hon
est } , national honesty. It has always stood
for honest money for nn honest dollar ,
woith 100 cents and accepted as such In all
markets of the norld In the past it has
boldly , unhesitatingly and repeatedly given
utterance to these views It has Issued Its
declarations In print and scattered them
broadcast all over our land. Wo should
o.'cupy the tame position today , and , fat
fion desiring to modify our past record , we
should conform and reiterate it with em
phasis
"In times of prevailing business depres
sion , widespread discontent and goncial un
rest , the various elements among the people
tint lu prosperity cannot combine their
forces , readily coalesce. Dishonest money
because It is dishonest , attracts the dis
orderly , lawless anil revolutionary elements
the socialist , the populist , and the an
archist The Issue today Is not exclusively
honest money , but the very existence of
government and the preservation of law ,
life and llliertj arc at stake. Ranks , es
pecially national banks , have been as
sailed by the vltupeiatlons of Ignorance and
passion. The banks rallied to the support
of the government In the darkest hour of its
history , and supplied the money necessary
to defend Its honor and life. Through the
national bank system , subsequently estab
lished a market v.as opened foi United
States bunds , J 'elding ' the money necessary
for the piosccutlon of the v.ar for the pres
et vatlon of our Union , and a currency pro
vided that has ncvei been excelled for
safety , universal acceptance at par , and im-
mcdlato redemption.
"Nlnet-three per cent of the business of
this country Is tiansacteil by checks anil
other negotiable Instruments , nilmlnato
banking facilities , national banks and their
circulation , and substitute dishonest money
as the vehicle of trade , financial chaos
would speedily result. Cotton and cereals

At the conclusion of Mi I'ullen's address
ho reports of the executive council and
rotcctlve committee were read by Chair-
nan Joseph C Hcndrlx. president of the
'atlonal Union bank of New York. The re-
iort of the executive council was a declara-
lou in favor of tlio existing gold etaml-
rd It states that , In lib opinion , the ex-
sting commercial deprc lon is Immedl-
tcly due to the attacks which threaten
o overthrow the present gold standard of
aluc , and adds , In part : "We further be-
eve that our full mcabuie of national pros-
erlty will not bo gained until the whole
torld understands that the dollar of the
United States Is 100 ccuU * worth of gold ,
and that the nation Intends to keep It at
that value.
"We believe that an opportunity U pre
sented by the Issue of this political cam
paign to give a lasting definition of the
dollar as a money unit , to permanently
settle the foundation of our monetary s8-
tem and to remove the menace of nn over
turn of values and far-reaching ruin and
distress which n descent to a silver basis
would Involve. "
The treasurer's report was read by Mr.
Hcndrlx In the absence of that officer , Mr.
William H Porter of the Chase National
bank , New York H was followed by the
tvport of the auditing committee.
Sccretaiy Branch then read his annual
report The report * as that the cloio of
the } ear 189G shows the largest member
ship In the history of the association. In
1SSD the association had 1.S70 members This
was the- maximum number until the pres
ent time. The membership had shtiink as
low as 1.C3S , and the association , by the
secretary's reports , had made a net loss of
412 members from 1SS9 to and through 1SD5
Since September 1 , 1S15 , CI6 members have
been added tn the list anil forty-seven lost ,
a large proportion of the latter having cither
resigned or liquidated.
Mr r W Ilnjcs , president of the Pres
ton National bank of Detroit , read the re
port of the committee on express money
orders. Thcro was no discussion and ad
journment was then taken for the day.
The delegates and their families then took
carriages and were driven to the union
station , where lunch was served , after
which they made a sight-seeing trip.
This evening the representatives of the
trust companies attending the convention
will meet tn the Planters' and form a na
tional association of their own.

The evidences of Mr Keith's acts were not

so conclusive were they that all hope was
abandoned and the lake is now being
dragged for the recovers of the remains
While the family and friends of the dead
merchant had recently grown apprehensive
regarding his phsteal condition , the dis
covery this morning came with paralysing
suddenness. In the light of the tragedy it
was then recalled that Mr. Keith had for
some dajs been so peculiarly depressed as
to suggest mental troubles. His recent con
dition was recalled and It was found that
there was no ground to doubt but what tem-
poiary Insanity had followed his long months
of sleeplessness and aggravated djspepsla ,
and that the victim had found relief In the
lake.
