All of them are negroes and liquor played an im- , portant part in the trouble. The Adams boys had taken too much, ^ and according to the reports, they went to Hough's and raised a row, j following him into the house carrying a double-barrel shot gun and an o axe.

The long delay In acting upon the ivltatlon to participate in the fair Ktended a year ago, has been the iuse of deep concern to the mange merit of the exposition, particuirlv as formidable opposition has kewise developed in Germany, here certain of the great trade as- I iciations, such as those representig the steel and iron manufacturrs, had formally requested the Gerlan government to decline the inviition. In an unofficial way it is said that ' Issatisfaction on the part of the immercial nations with certain >atures of the pending tariff bill hich they felt bore hardly upon leir trade was accountable for the ttitude of the covert hostility toard the San Francisco fair. T^ondon, July 31.?Notification of le determination of the British gofrnment not to participate in the anaina-Paciflc exposition at San rancisco was conveyed officially to Washington early this week. No reasons were given, it has been mooted for some time, owever, that the dispute in reard to the Panama canal tolls might ossibly lead to this result and the resent notification of no partlcipaon is attributed to that cause.
