There are no steamers sailin, en on the Austro- American line, ich the Austrian Government had relied upon to trans- port the reserves, Likewise the friendly German lines have delayed their vessels. The Consul-General bad planned to send the men aboard the steamers selected for transportatida, but this is now made impossible, and Dians are being laid to send the men to the Austrian Home, at No. 64 Broad street and to the Hungariaa Home in Pearl street. Sympathetic German restaurant and hotel keepers have offered to keep a large number of the men at their establishments without expense tw tl Austrian Government. It is more than likely, said Dr. Winter to- day, that these offers will be accepted if @ steamer cannot be chartered or accommodations obtained aboard the steamers that are awaiting word tu sail. There were 2,000 men In and around the consulate this morning when the cable was received and they were informed of its contents. wr. Winter and Dr. Fisherauer, the vice-consul, told them that a general mobilization had been o:dered, “If the war is not localized,” sald Dr, Fischerauer, “and the steamers do not sail there is «a grave pos- sibility that we will not be able to get our men across the Atlantic. It has been suggested that our men sail by the Italian mers, but then Gibraltar and England joom up to make that route impossible.” At the Servian Consulate men con- tinued to call on Prof, M. 1.

AND, Ore, Aug. 1.--After a week of excitement in the: wheat markets of the Northwest business came to a sudden stop to-day, The inability to finance sales in Europe caused the exporters to withdraw from the market and buying opera- tions were brought to a complete standstill, Insurance companies re- fused to quote rates on war risks on cargoes from this coast to Europe, CHICAGO, Aug. 1.—For the first time since the declaration of war by Austria the Chicago wheat market opened in a normal way. First trans- actions showed a change of not to exceed one cent compared with the night before. September wheat was down three-eighths <’ a cent and De- cember one cent. September, which closed at 83% last night, sold at s4 cents at the outset to-day and De- cember wheat, which closed at 9114 cents last night, was bought at cents at the si READE!

The Saxonia, due to sail at noon, was held bere to await a decision as to whet! the 600 Austrian re- serve soldiers aboard her should be sent ashore. It was announced she | would not sail untill late im the af- | ternoon. | Several hundred of the Austrians | were not allowed to go aboard the ship at gil. ‘They held tickets, but the oMcials said they wovid not accept tickets which were dated after the receipt of the order to accept no con- | tinental passengers. Many of the sol- diers had their wives and childre | with them, and the crowd sat around | on bundles and tin trunks and loudly bewalled the uncertainty of things. The Oceanic, despite rumors that she was to be held, sailed promptly at noon. She carried an immense | quantity of mail for Creat Britain and the continent. Her passenger list, shortened by cancellations, was | filied out again by persons disappoint- ed by the anbandoning of the Vater- , land's sailing. Morris Hillquit and his wife were passengers, as was) | Samuel G.

BACK TO NEW YORK. The President Grant, for which the wireless call was uttered all yester- day evening, reported late last night that she was headed for New York. There was some anxiety felt regard- ing the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, with her cargo of $10,000,000 in gold, She is due at Plymouth Sunday night. The Cecilie went out without much more coal than she :negded for the voyage and would be helpless if chased, The Marconi wireless offices were kept busy with inquiries by friends of passengers. The action of the German and Russian lines in call- ing back sbips which have alrcady started rather puzzles students of the Hague Conventions, which provide that a ship once out of port before @ war is declared may not be dig- turbed until she has reached her‘ des- tination. The White Star line, through Frederick Topping, secretary to the vice-president, expressed complete coufidency in the ability of the Brit- ish navy to protect the sine from any interference \/ith its passenger ser- vice, At the offices of the Holland-Ameri- can line it was said that no advices had been received indicating any in- terference with its servi The can- cellations of patrons who had aband- oned trips were made,up by new bookings by passengers’ from the Vaterland and the North German Lioyd boats.

No message was re- ceived regarding the Kronprinzessin Cecilie, The Friederich der Grosse will put in at this port, while the Neckar, which was caught off Jacksonville, is heading for Baltimore. The Kur- furnt received the recall 600 mules out. Frengh line officials said that the only interruptions of their service ex- pected were those which might be caused by the requisitioning of 8! of their fleet for Government vice, The France will sail next Tues- day to this country, and La Lor- raine’s sailing from this port Aug. 6 was guaranteed without qualification. “We have no fear of German inter- ference," sald an officer of the line to- day, “England will keep the German fleet bottled up in the North Sea. We are not receiving any notices of cancel- lation of reservations.” The Fabre line, which operates between this port and Marseilles, an- nounced that it did not know of any reason for interrupting its service. The Sont. Anna was prepared to sail at 3 o'clock this afternoon, Sixty per cent. of the cabin reservation had been concelied at noon, but t steerage list was increased 20 p cant. by a rush from the German ships, which suspended sailings yes- terday, There was much at the pier all day, causea v, .., pers of freight who had been unable to get insurance. Very few were able to wet their shipments out of the steamship's hold. DUKE HERE TO SEND FRENCH RESERVES TO THE COLORS.

The Italian lines announced that until further notice their service would not be interrupted. LONDON, Aug. 1.—American tour- ists in England entirely gave up their sightseeing trips to-day and flocked to Cockspur street to try to book pas- sage home.
