Intermingled with the cheer- . ing and bandclapplng of the Senators. , the Ministers, Army and Navy officers and the people in the galleries. King j Victor Emmanuel and members of the Royal household witnessed the demon strations. Mud Ffom Lassen Peaks Crater.

The secretmry and Mrs. McAdoo, who is the president's youngest dsngti- 1 ter, were married st the White House J J Just a year ago. Mr. McAdoo went to ' bis office at the treasury department 1 for the first time since he was operat- ' ed on for appendicitis nearly two months ago. 1 Independent Telephone Company.

PERSONNEL NOT ANNOUNCED Thar* Will Be a Complete Change of the Whole Government?Earl Kitchener Will Be Leader. London.?The National Government which will guide the British Empire for the duration bf the war la in prog ress of formation. No statement as to the personnel Of the new Ministry has been made except that Premier Asquith and foreign Secretary Grey will retain their posts. Thus far all statements aa to the allotment of ofllcers have been largely surmise. It appears cer tain however that there will be a new elvll head of the Admiralty and War Office respectively and possibly chang es in the professional heads aa well, or at any rate, a readjustment of respon sibility. Earl Kitchener, Secretary for War, it is generally agreed, has too much to do, raising new armies and, seeing after the output of munitions and some of these duties will be shifted to other shoulders. Chancellor Lloyd George and Andrew Monar Law, op position leader, are about equally fa vored for civil hear of the War Of Oce and A. J. Balfour is mentioned for a similar position in the Admiralty. There is some doubt as to whether Mr. Balfour would consent to accept this place. However, there is to be a complete change in the whole Government, in cluding not only the Cabinet but the nnder-secretaryshlps as well, and posts will be distributed among the Liberals, Unionists and Laboritles, ac cording to their strength in the House if Commons. The Nationalists, it is understood, have decided to stand aside. T. P. O'Connor, in an article in bis weekly newspaper says that John E. Redmond, the Nationalists leader, respectfully refused the offer of a seat in the Cabinet and add*: "I have no doubt he felt that such a refusal was imposed upon him by the conditions of Irish public life. The Irish party has a long unbroken tradition behind it of alngle-mlnded and self-eacrtflclng devoting to the cause of Ireland and probably many if Mr. Redmond's countrymen might th.nk he would have broken that tra Ution.or he at least would be charged with breaking It were he to take any ifflce until home rule has been estab lished." 3REAT BRITAIN EXPLAINS DELAY ? " I government Endeavor# to Correct Mle- ' understanding of Attitude. London.?In an effort to correct : what the Government bellevee to oe 1 a mleunderetandlng of Great Britain'# j attitude toward American ships and American cargoes in other neutral bot tom# detained under the order-in-coun cil the Foreign Office has Issued an ex pienatorj memorandum. Thia explanation is supplemented t?y a statement that cotton cargoes which the Government agreed to pur chase under the cotton agreement have all been bought bp the Govern ment and that actual details concern ing the payment ogly await proof of ownership and papers showing the tctunl contract price. It Is explained uat as must of these papers must Sime from the United States there will still be some unaviodahle delays before the owners of the cotton get their money.

Secretary Bryan said that represents^ lions had been made to Carransa looking to the shipment of supplies Cuban Independtnce. Washington.?President Wilson ca bled to President Menooal of Cuba congratulating him on the thirteenth anniversary of Cuban Independence. No Hope For Italy. London.?Any lingering hope that Italy would maintain ber neutrality was abandoned when the Italian cham ber conferred on the government extra ordinary powers in the event of war's outbreak. This Is considered a vote for war. for which the government' has made all preparation! and the pros pects of which have aroused the great sta enthusiasm throughout Italy. The German and Austrian ministers were still in Rome but their one care now Is to arrange for the safety of their nationals. Freight Agents Adjourn. Richmond.

In Diplomatic Circlet It la Believed That Reply to American Note Will Be Concilltory. Washington.?Two important fac tors are working to delay for some time Germany's reply to tba Lusttania note. First, the next few days are expect ed to show whether Germany will be confronted with a new military situ ation by the entrance of Italy into the war. Second, interested diplomatists here believe the Interim of delay will reveal whether the United States of its own Initiative will send a general protedt to the Allies against alleged violations of international law by interfering with' commerce between American ports and neutral European countries. Officials here generally think the Austro-Itallan situation may absorb the attention of the German govern ment and delay final composition of the reply. It is realised that should Italy become a belligerent Germany would lose all hope of obtaining food stuffs or ctber supplies through the Mediterranean and if Roumania fol lowed Italy's lead, as predicted, the wheat supply from southwestern Eu rope would be cut off. In suclr circum stances it was explained in diplomatic luarters Germany would find the sub marine even more Invaluable as A weapon, for reducing enemy supplies tnd commerce. ? . The idea that the United States will ?end a note to the Allies seeking modl Qcation of the order-in-council has its irigin in quarters where the conviction Is held that such a move, would demon strate to Germany that the United States intends to be equally vigorous in insisting on the observance of neu tral rights by Great Britain and her Allies, making unnecessary an offer by Germany to return to the maritime rules of International law if the Allies do likewise. Although without definite informa tion there is a disposition in well-in formed quarters here to believe the President will withhold any represen tations to England until Germany's reply is received, because of a desire to obtain a frank understanding wltb Germany without complicating the situation as existing between the United States and the Allies. FOR TARGET PRACTICE. Atlantic Fleet Goes to New England Coast For Extenaiva Maneuver*. Near York-?The Atlantic fleet ot (4 warehlps, the moat powerful ever gathered under the American flag, steamed away for extensive manueu vera at eea off the New England coast after a stay of 10 days In this harbor. President Wilson reviewed the five mile line as It passed the Mayflower, off the Statue of Liberty. Soon after the last man-of-war had disappeared In the gray mist over the Atlantic, the Mayflower weighed. anchor and started back to Washington, with the President and his party aboard. Passengers Saw 8ubmarln*. London.?The Cunard liner Tryn-, sylvanla, which arrived at Glasgow from New York, encountered a sub marine off the northwest coast of Ire land, according to passengers who ar rived In London. They say the submarine appeared about 400 to 800 yards away. The periscope and part of the conning toil er were In sight for several minutes. The Transylvania's captain ImmedF ately swerved the ship. Crisis for Britain. London.?Persistent rumors were in circulation In the lobby of the house of commons that a coalition government was about to be formed. Unloolst lead ers held a conference with Premier As smith and It Is stated that the ques tion of a coalition was settled. > cording to these reports the coalatlon of offices has not been Anally deter mined. It is rumored that A. 1. Bal four. former premier, will succeed Winston Spencer Churchill as First Lord of the Admiralty, the latter tak ing some other office. Thinks McNamara a. Martyr. Washington.?Clarence S. Darrow. who defended the McNamara brothers In the Los Angeles dynamiting case, ilacussed Industrial and social condi tions before the Industrial Relations Commission. He expressed the hope that J. B. McNamara would be pardon id. "McNamara thought he was do ng something for the common good when he blew up The Los Angeles rimes." said the lawyer. "He risked lis lite because he believed In a cause tnd looking at it from his own stand- i mint, he was a martyr." .i WILSON REVIEWS ELEET PRESIDENT IS GREETED IN NEW YORK BY UNUSUAL DEMON STRATION. The Fore* of Amerloe la the Foroa af Moral Principle, Tha Praaldant Daclaraa. New York.?Praaldant Wllaon re r law ad tha Atlantic float In tte Hud son river and at a luncheon tendered to him on shore by the city of New York told a distinguished gathering what the country and Its navy stood (or. The great battleships that lay In the river, he said, were "engines to promote the Interests of humanity." "The Inspiring thing about Amerl Ica," the president said. "Is that she asks nothing for herself except what she has a right to ask for humanity It self. We want no nation's property; we wish to question no nation's hon or; we wish to stand selfishly In the way of the development of no nation. It Is not pretention on our part to say that we are privileged to stand for what every nation would wish to stand for and speaking tor those things which all humanity must desire. The spirit which brooded over the river, said the president.. was "Just a solemn evMenee that the force of America la the force of moral princi ple. that there Is not anything else tor which she will contend. The president took occasion to pay tribute te Secretary of the Navy Dan iels. who sat beside htm.

In the forenoon bs reviewed g land pa rade of 5.004 sailors and marines and from the moment he set foot on shore until he returned to the Mayflower to review the fleet his progress through the streets was a continuous ovation.

Washington.?Votes for women was urged as the remedy for Industrial un rest before the Commission on Indus trial Relations here by Mrs. Cbrystal Eastman Benedict of New York, rep resenting the Congressional Union for , woman suffrage.
