LONDON, July 8.—Altkough President Loubet did not retire until long after mid- night he arose at the customary hour, 6:30 a. m., and started on another long day’s functions at about 9 o'clock, when, accompanied by Foreign Minister Del- casse, Embassador Cambon and his suite, the President proceeded to visit Windsor Castle. He traveled in the King's train and was met at the railroad station by the Mayor and corporation of Windsor, who welcomed him to the royal borough. The President drove to the castle, escort- ed by Horse Guards, and inspected both the state and private apartments and visited the mausoleum at Frogmore, where M. Loubet deposited a wreath on Queen Victoria's tomb. The Presidential party subsequently returned to London. King Edward, Queen Alexandra, Pre: dent Loubet, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Con- naught, Foreign Minister Delcasse, Em- bassador Cambon and others proceeded to Aldershot this afternoon for the pur- pose of reviewing the First Army Corp: On their arrival at Farnsborough the par- ty drove to the review plain, where King Edward, in a field marshal’s uniform and wearing the ribbon of the Legion of Honor, mounted on a charger and preced- ed by a carriage in which President Lou- bet and Queen Alexandra were seated, rode to the pavillon.

Loubet had scarcely time to rest before he was driven to Lord Lansdowne's house, where he was the guest of the Financlal Secre- tary and met a company larger and scarcely less distinguished than that which assembled at the French embassy dinner the previous evening. The ho was magnificently decorated with palms and lilies, and was brilliantly {lluminated. The guests included Embassador Choate and Mrs. Choate, the other Embassadors and Ministers in London, Premier Bal- four, Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, Field Marshal Roberts and the Duchess ot Marlborough. _——e—— HARDWARE AND METAL JOBBERS IN CONVENTION Annual Meeting of Pacific Coast As- sociation Is Being Held at Santa Barbara.

L e e e e ) YOUNG WOMAN BRAVES ROBBER Pretends Ignorance on Being Asked for Keys of Safe. Sl ey WOODLAND, July 8.—From Rumsey comes a story of the attempted robbery of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express of- fice there last Saturday. The robber was thwarted by the bravery of the agent's daughter. Since the destruction of his home and office by fire A. A. Wat- kins, Wells-Fargo's agent at Rumsey, has lived in a tent, where he also conducted the business of the company. During the temporary absence of the other members of the family last Saturday evening his daughter, Ethel May, was seized while asleep in a chair by a rough man who bound and gagged her. Before inserting a gag he demanded the keys to the ex- press box, but the girl professed ignor- ance of their whereabouts. This enraged ‘the robber, who struck and kicked her, then mounted a horse which he left tied in a shed near by and rode away. Mise Watkins managed to free herself from the bonds and removed the gag. Her cries attracted the attention of a man passing by. He in turn summoned the family. Miss Watkins is unable to give an accurate description of her assail- ant’s features. ———————— Fire Destroys Two Grain Fields.
