MORGAN A GUEST OF HONOR
Remarkable Dinner Glvea la the
Hons of Common by
MeConoehle.
LONDON, July 14. J. Plerpont Morgan
was tonight the guest of honor at a remark
able dinner, given In the House of Commons
by Archibald White MeConoehle, membsr
for the east division of Abderdoenshlre. On
one side of the host sat Mr. Morgan and on
the other Premier Balfour. Tbe other
guesta Included Ambassador Choate, St.
John Brodrlck, secretary of state for war;
W. Hanbury, president of the Board of
Agriculture; Sir E. H. Carson, solicitor
general; Sir Charles Dilke, M. P.; Sir R. B.
Finley, attorney general; Clinton Edward
Dawkins, one of the partners of the firm
of J. P. Morgan A Co.; Sir Thomas Llpton,
Bart.; George Wyndham, chief secretary
for Ireland; Arnold Foeter, financial secre-
ary to the admiralty; Onore Westing-
ouse, president of the Westlnghouie Elec
trical company, and Gilbert Parker, member
of Parliament for Gravesend.
The dinner began at t o'clock In a private
room within the precincts of the House of
Parliament. With the exception of Secre
tary Wyndham, who was' compelled to re
turn to the House of Commons for th i Irish
ebate, a majority of the guests chatted
until nearly 11 o'clock. The conversation
was particularly frank. The South African
war, international yacht races, the shipping
combine and all were discussed In turn.
Mr. Morgan and Premier Balfour were
both particularly animated. One of those
present aald to a representative of the As
sociated Press:
It waa one of the most remarkable rath-
erlnm tn which I ever took part. Prac
tically a quorum of the cabinet talked over
In the simplest and most open way leading
subjects which now vitally concern both
countries. To see Mr. Morgan and Mr.
Balfour together, one could scarcely believe
the former had been regarded as bogie
who threatened England's commercial ex
istence. If aome things which , oassed
around that table could be repeated, it
would be an eye-opener to those who are
fomenting commercial rivalries between
England and America.
From another source the representative
of the Associated Press learned it was aald
Mr. Morgan was Jocularly certain the
Americans would retain the yachting cup.
A feeling of uneasiness pervaded the
dinner with regard to King Edward's condi
tion, even leading members ef the cabinet
displaying nervousness lest his majesty
should be unable to fulfill, his duties in
the coronation ceremony.
This was due to no little sxtsnt to the
statement of the doctor that the king I
not yet allowed to walk and to somewhat
natural apprehension that tbe aevere strain
of a fortnight hence will prove too danger
ous an undertaking,
There waa not the slightest whisper that
the king ia worse than the bulletins indi
cate. The only fear waa that the doctors
had been possibly too optimlatlo in setting
the date of the coronation on August I.
Mr. Balfour somewhat allayed the feeling
of nervousness by explaining that the doc
tors had been instructed that nnder no con
sideration whatever must they decide upon
the date for the coronation unless they
were absolutely positive the king would
not disappoint the people again. Mr. Bal
four pointed out that aa the doctors had
shown so far such splendid judgment It
would be presumptuous td doubt their Judg
ment now, however difficult It might be
for a layman tn unlort bow pattaat
wno could not stand ' up today could be
crowned August t. There Is no doubt, how
ever, that the cabinet will follow anxiously
the klnga convalescence during the coming
week.

Engineer Erlckson escaped unhurt, but
Fireman Porter was caught under the
great engine when It turned over and waa
crushed to death. His body was soon re
covered and brought to Omaha, when It
was turned . over to the undertaker. As

wreck. A wrecking train and crew were
brought from Fatrbury and an engine waa
sent down from Counoll Bluffs to aid in

the men In charge knew very little about
the wreck, beyond the taot that on had
occurred and that the fireman had been
killed. It la said that no one else waa
Injured. Porter' home Is In Fairbury, Neb.,
and he leavea a wife and one child.

Address of President Roosowalt.
In opening his address. President Roose
velt complimented the national guardsmen
of New Jersey upon their soldierly bearing
nd proficiency and continued:
A man is of use as a national guardsman
for Just exactly the sams reasona .as he
is of use as a cltlsen, and that Is if he
eets to work with his whole heart to do
his duty for the time being to make him
relf thoroughly proficient In the line of th
bt'elsess ne naa taken up. A national
guardsman who jolna only to hav a good
time pretty generally doea not have a good
time, and certainly makes a poor hand ae
a guardsman."
I earnestly nope ana oeunvo you imv
will get into battle, but If you do it I
solna to be mighty important to hit the
other fellow, and you are going to be bl
to do It largely in consequence oi ine way
you have put in your time, knowing your
rifle until it ta a part of yourself, until
you can handle It, take care of it and use
It. It has been the pride of the American
army In the times past that our troops
hsve always used It effectivelyi we have
alwaya prided ourselves on having an army
of marksmeni our army ha given us fc
iust pride In It, because Its constant effort
ias been to take car of Itself in th field
and all that pertain to th duty of a
soldier.
Favor Modora Arm,
Giard armed with the beat and most mod
ern weapons. (Applause.) I want to ae
the infantry with the Krag-Jorgensen. and
I want to see the artillery whit the three-point-two
gun of the regular army. art
happy to say that a bill has been, passed
through the lower house which will en
able the national governmen materially
to aid the National Uuard of he different
states. At the next session frmlf" be"
lieve that we will get It through, the United
States senate, and then I can cuarante
th signature of the president. (Laughter
and applause.)
I think that our people have not always
appreciated the debt they wer under to
the National Guard. A man who goes Into
the National Guard and does his duty fairly
and squarely there put th whole country
jnder an obligation to him. Aiwaya In our
history It ha been tbe oee, a It will be
In the future, that If war should arise it Is
to be met mainly by the cUlsen-soldler
