KING WELCOMES LOUBET 10 LONDON § 3. Meets Visiting President of French Republic on the Plat- form at Victoria Station and Shakes Him Warmly by Hand. BRITAIN’S HEARTY WELCOME ‘There Are Cheering Crowds at Every: Point, but Extraordinary Precau- tions Are Taken to Guard the Dis- tinguished Guest from Harm, LONDON, July 6—President Loubet, the first President of the French Re- public who has ever represented his na- ton as the guest of the Brittsh Court, arrived in London soon after 4 o'clock this afternoon and was greeted at the Viotorla Railroad Station by King Ed- ward and the Prince of Wales, accom- panted by the Cabinet Ministers and a host of other distinguished persons. ‘Long before the arrival of the Pres- @ential party an enormous crowd had occupied every point from which a wight of the visitor could be obtained. The station itself was handsomely @4orned. Special features being the Brench national colors and the mono- gram “R. F." (Republique Francaise) @nd an abundance of flowers in lines of red, white and blue. Extraordinary Precautions Taken. The extraordinary precautions taken by the police for the safety of the Presi- dent and his hosts even exceeded those adopted when Emperor William was bere. Every holder of a ticket had to Be identified before he was admitted to the railroad station and also had to fur- mish evidence of his right to its pos- session. King Bdward wore a Meld marshel's aniform and the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honor. The Prince of W ed on an admiral's uniform. @waited the King's guest on the plat- torm. The King stepped forward as the President alighted from the train and warmly shook hands with him. M. Loubet, who was bareheaded, scarcely reached the King’s shoulder. King Ed- ward then jieaned forward and intro- @uced the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Fife, Pre. mier Balfour, Foreign Minister Lans- downe, Field Marshal Lord Roberts and others, who were all in full uniform or court dresé, forming a brililant specta- cle. ‘M. Loubet then presented. the mem- bers of his suite to the King, who warmly shook hands with them, The Drive to St. James’s Palace. After an inspection of the Guard of Honor the King and M, Loubet left the ration, the President still with bared head, and entered a State carriage, in which the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Connaught were also seated. The vehicle, escorted by a detachment ot Life Guards, was then driven through the crowded, troop-lined and ‘well-decorated streets, by way of Hyde Park corner, Clubland, in Piccadilly, to St. James's Palace. Mf. Loubet was loudly cheerd everywhere. On his arrival at St. James's Palace M. Loubet received a great ovation. Op- posite the entrance to the Palace, on a balcony of Marlborough House, were ths children of the Prince and Princess who saluted the President . ‘The latter first noticed: his 6 from his seat in and saluted the yo . 5 After a brief rest M.

The French crulser Guichen, haying President Loubet on board, was sighted at 12.40 P, M. Immense crowds of people lined the sea front, which presented a gala ep- pearance, the decorations being on a ecale far in excess of anything previ- ously attempted. ‘As goon as the Guichen was sighted the Sheerness flotilla of torpedo,boat destroyers steamed out to meet her and escorted the French cruiser through a double line of British battle-ships and cruisers extending two mil nd a half nd forming the most imposing naval display ever seen off Dover. A Great Demonstration. All the vessels were dressed from stem to stern and their crews manned ship and mingled their cheers with the roar of the guns ‘firing salutes and the strains of the “Marseiliaise’ from the naval wands, Kaci ehip gave the President a salute of twenty-one guns as the Gul- chen passed, and the band of eaoh v se] in turn took up the “Marseillaise ‘The Guichen anchored off Dover short- ly after 1 o'clock and exchanged salutes with Dover Castle.

Im a reserved ‘inclosure, brightly drapef, at the head of the stairs leading from the landing stage, a handsome pavillion had been erected, and there the Duke of Connaught, accompanied by the French Ambassador, M.

Rescuing Playmates. ‘The happiest git] in Hoboken to-day is eleven-year-old Frances Masterson, who was strangely cured of an aMiction of years by means of an electric shock which she received while playing the heroine. A live wire fell into Harrison street among a number of little children who were playing there and colled about five-year-old Helen Muller, of No, 705 First etreet. In alding her playmate the Master- son giN slipped and fell upon the wire in such manner that tt burned her neck severely. Five children were screaming, squirming and being knocked down by the shocks they received, when men hur- ried up and dragged them to safety. It was then that the byave little Master- won girl uttered @ cry of surprise, mixed with floy. "Bee!" ‘she cried, swinging her lett arm and moving ner body. For five years her left side had been partially paralyzed and a nervous affec- tion had made it impossible for her to hold her head still. Now she is completely cured. The fearful shock she received when the wire struck her neck has removed every trace of the trouble, and both she and her parents, who liv t No, 1101 First street, are quite beside themselves with joy at her wonderful recovery.

EVANSVILLE, Ind., July 6—This elty of 70,000 population ts In the hands of race-rioting mobs, the whites being gathered about the jail, where thelr thirst for revenge may result in the In- discriminate slaughter of all the negro prisoners in thelr cells, and the blacks, who are in possession of the rest of the city, sacking the stores and residences, intimidating the occupants of dwellings and shooting promisouously, Two negro men and a negro woman have been killed outright, so far as known, and many have been seriously wounded. Every man and boy on th street is armed, the hardware stores having been broken open and plundered of their arms and ammunition, and life {s considered an extremely cheap com- modity to-day. ‘The militia has been ordered out, but {t may be unable to control the mobs without a great loss of life. The county jail is partly wrecked, The wall was forced with a battering-ram, negro dives were ransacked and shot to pieces in the search for the blacks, and an armed company of drilled blacks is marching through the streets, threaten. | ing the lives of all whites, ‘Threaten to Blow Up a Suburb. At daylight to-day 300 armed white men started for the powder magazine near the city to secure explosives with which they declare they will blow up the entire negro colony of Baptist Town, a sutuirb of the city. The rioters around the jail know that the negro whom it most seeks has been spirited away and is dying in the Vin- cennes jell from bullet wounds given to him by the policeman whom he killed, but the anger of the people is such that they have lost sight of their cry for revenge on the negro slayer and thirat for the blood of any negro. Lee Brown, a negro, was about to shoot another negro on Friday when Policeman Massey attempted to stop him, The negro turned and sent the bullet Into the policeman, While Massey was G by Negroes, Killing Brown several times, dangerously wounding him, , The frenzy of the people was excited by the shooting on Saturday of a white boy named Logan, by a negro. Poilce- man Massey died Saturday night from his wounds. An attempt was made to break into the all that night, but the police were concentrated and the mob driven away, Hove Tarned on Mob, At 1 o'clock this morning the bars of the jail gave way and the moo swarmed In. Police Captain Brennecke tried to check it by appearing at a win- dow and turning a stream of water from & fire hose on the mob. A hundred shots from the mob drove him back and then the rioters swarmed through the jail unmolested. Capt. Blum, of Company A. M. sent out a call for his soldiers under orders from the Governor, but it was understood that he was having @ hard time to assemble them, it being reported that many of them were in the mob at the Jail. ‘The maych on Baptist Town was begun with the unarmed men howling for guns. ‘Three gun stores are demolished, the Jall Is partly wrecked, glass in a hun- dred buildings ts broken and a spirit of vengeance on the part of the whites and of sullen resistance, {f cornered, on the part of the blacks Is manifest. The Gov- Jernor has been appealed to a second time and js expected to take action to-day to avoid further bloodshed: The riot began growing still worse at E, at 230 SUSPECTED OF WIFE MURDER Shaw Told Police the Woman, Had Shot Herself in the; Mouth, but She Was Found Dead with Bullet in Her Heart.
