Austria-Hungary's declaration of war against Servia, gazetted here tonight, was as follows: "The Royal Government of Servia not having replied -in a satisfactory manner to the note' remitted to it by the Austro-Hungarian Minister in Belgrade on July 23, 1914, the Imperial and Royal Government linds itself compelled to proceed itself to safeguard its rights and interests and to have recourse for this purpose to force of arms.

Russia Is for Peace But ST. PETERSBURG, July ment tonight issued the following official communication: "Numerous patriotic demonstrations of the last few days in St. Petersburg and other cities prove that the firm pacific policy of Russia finds a sympathetic echo among all classes of the population. "The government hopes, nevertheless, that the expression of feeling of the people will not be tinged -with enmity jigainst the Powers with whom Russia is at peace. and with whom she "wishes to' remain at peace.

V'While the government gathers strength from this wave of popular feeling and expects its subjects to retain their reticence and tranquillity, it rests confidently on the guardianship of the dignity and the interests of Russia."

Each day provided its dramatic thrills and though the verdict has been pronounced the outcome cannot be foretold. The session of the court today was devoted to speeches by counsel. Mme.

Caillaux had come into the prisoner's dock pale and worn. She collapsed during the course of the address of Maitre Chenu, who scored her bitterly. The speech of the procurator-general, Jules Herbaux, was unusually mild in tone. To the jurors he said: "Your dutv as the defenders of the interests of societv requires you to find a verdict of guilty, but no one expects you to be pitiless." Maitre Labori delivered a masterpiece of passionate eloquence. He closed amid a tempest of applause saying: "My wish is that Mme.

Caillaux shall leave here acquitted and that the press shall be purified. Let us keep our anger for our enemies abroad. Let us leave this court resolute and united to face the perils which threaten us. In his address, Maitre Seligman 'said: Justice Not Given, He Says "The sons of Gaston Calmette asked us to bring them to this court to ask justice," he said. "We refused to do so but do not forget gentlemen of the jury with what anguish the orphans await your verdict.

You hav heard witness after witness speak in raise of the late M. Calmette. There as been only one discordant note and that came from M. Caillaux. What connection with-the case has the fortune of the murdered man? How many millions must a man have in order to permit his being assassinated with complete jury was next addressed by Maitre ft Ready for War 28.

The Russian Govern Securities Slumped in New York Five to Twenty Points Tremendous Rise in Wheat in Chicago With Wildest Trading in Years Expectation of war between Austria-Hungary and Servia and its subsequent declaration yesterday demoralize the markets of the world. War was not "declared until after the bourses of Europe had closed, but in London, Berlin and Paris panicky conditions and severe declines in securities anticipated the announcement. At all three capitals, bonds of the governments' of Europe, which have been steadily dropping, registered further losses. In Vienna the Bourse had been closed since Saturday, but there was a heavy run on the Austrian savings banks, the most important in the dual monarchy. In Paris the commercial exchange suspended all dealings in grains, sugar and other commodities, and exchange on London and private discount for the first time in years were not quoted.

In Berlin runs on savings banks begun yesterday grew heavier. In London, after the close of the stock market, stocks tumbled on the curb. News of the declaration reached this country while markets were in session. With it came an avalanche of foreign selling on the New York Stock Exchange. Leading securities slumped from 5 to 20 points, and conditions paralleled in theeir intensity the domestic panic of 1907.

The stock exchanges of "Montreal and Toronto suspended their sessions. On the Chicago Board of Trade there was a tremendous rise in wheat and the wildest trading in many years. This was on the expectation that war in Europe would create a demand for our grain. Other foodstuffs also advanced. These conditions were reflected in all the produce markets of the country On the other smart declines were recorded in cotton futures at New York and New Orleans.

CAILLAUX IS THE Austro-Hungarian Government declared war against Servia yesterday by a manifesto which is. one of the briefest of history's momentous documents. -Germany paved the way for this declaration by announcing her rejection of the British proposal to brings four Powers together in conference' for "mediation.

Germany explained to the public that her ally could not be expected to submit her acts to an European council as though she were one of the Balkan States." This announcement preceded the declaration of war by only two hours, and gave an exhibition of the perfectly harmonious working of the partnership between the two nations, which stood firmly together through the Bosnian crisis of ,1908. The centre of interest has shifted to St. Petersburg, which holds the decision whether a European war, which probably would shift the balance of power, if not rearrange the entire map of Europe, is to break out. Negotiations are afoot there 'between the Russian Foreign Minister, Sergius Sazonoff, and the Austrian Ambassador, which are designed to "localize" the conflict. The.

nature and progress of these conversations are wrapped in the thickest mystery, but they are the last plank the neutral Powers are clinging to in face of a storm which may wash all under. The Russian Government issued an official note last night saying the patriotic outbursts have proved all classes approved Russia's pacific policy. Further, it wishes to remain at peace, but rests on the guardianship of the dignity and interests of Russia. The invasion of Servia has begun, according to One rumor had it that Belgrade was taken by the Austrian troops. Sharp.

fighting along the river Drina is reported from Vienna. Servian volunteers attempted to cross the stream and were opposed by Austrian frontier troops. Two Servian steamers on the Danube, at Orchava, were seized by Austrian troops, who detained the passengers. Advices from Belgrade say the Servian capital is now located at Nish, where the National Assembly is in session. All Servians between the ages of 18 and 60 able to bear arms have been called out.

Mobilization is proceeding rapidly. Preparations for war continue in England, France, Russia and Germany, and the fear of a general European war has not abated. on all the exchanges of the world tumbled yes-terday because of the war. Leading securities slumped from 5 to 20 points and conditions paralleled in their intensity the domestic panic of '07. War ran up wheat transactions on the Chicago Board of Trade yesterday to nearly 100,000,000 bushels.

Prices shot upward i to 9J4 cents. The present situation was only paralleled by conditions in the American Civil War and at the time of the Franco-Prussian War.

Unable to reach the shore, and failing in an attempt to regain the side of the overturned boat, Samuel Long, 32 years old, of 1113 South Thirty-first street, the father of seven small children, w-as drowned, despite the efforts of an already exhausted member of the party to save him. The boat occupied by the fishing party was one which had been found floating down the Schuylkill River by one of Long's small sons several days ago, and which had been repaired by Long. It was launched for the first time after being fixed up yesterday afternoon. Three Others in Boat With Long at the time of the accident were John Mullin, 21 years old, of 1111 South Thirty-first street; August Denner, 23 years old, of 1102 South Stanley street, and James Gruger, 14 years old, of Thirty-first street and Gray's iFerry avenue.

With Mullin and young Gruger rowing, the boat was sent rapidly down the Schuylkill until it was opposite the pier of the Harrison Brothers' Paint Works. The four men, were bound for a favorite fishing place further down the stream. Suddenly the patched seams split and water began lo pour into the craft. The other two members of the fishing band started to bail, but found the water gaining. The boat was then thirty yards from the shore.

Lonz, the owner of the boat, decided that they had better make shore as rapidly as ossible, and ordered young Gruger to relinquish his place at one oar.

Although failures were momentarily looked for, there was none announced. Tonieht. however, margins were being called for right and left, and to such a wide desree that it seemed certain tne volume of tomorrow would be zreatlv restricted as compared with today regardless of how high or low the market might go. The risk of speculating at all in such a frenzied market formed strange ly one of the elements that promised to brine about speedy order, notwithstand ing that the close today-was at the tiptop of the excitement, with values at the hiehest ninnaole reached. How hazard ous the situation was deemed tonight was shown bv the action ot leading firms in demanding that all customers put up mar gins or JiOc, a bushel on every trade.

Thousands Made In Minute Stories of fortunes made and lost today were numerous, but in most cases were not well verified. The most specific case of sudden riches was that of a hereto fore obscure nit. trader who actuallv Dock eted $25,000 which he had netted in an interval of exactlv five minutes. Hundreds of spectators thronged theJ galleries on change ana loouea aown upon the traders who struggled and tumbled about in the pits. The uproar made by the brokers was plainly audible in the streets surrounding the board and notwithstanding that the day was delightfully cool it was noticeable that few if any of the traders in the wheat pit were not dripping with perspiration.

I he nrst throb 01 excitement was given when news came that quotations had been discontinued at Parts. Bull ish feeling rose rapidly after advices were received that Germany would stand aloof from any peace conference. Even after the bulletin of the declaration of war there was a check in the shape of a report that Servia had conceded every thing asked. It was dispatches later seeming to involve Russia and Great Britain that carried speculators com pletely off their feet. In the end the market resolved itself Continued on 5Si Page, 5th Col.

1 DRIVER WRECKS MOTOR TO AVOID STRIKING BOY Machine Jumps Curb and Crashes Into Iron Fence Swerving aside to avoid running down a small boy, who suddenly darted from the pavement directly in front of hi9 automobile, James Harding, of 5109 Ger-mantown avenue, sent a big touring car cra-shing over the curb and through the iron fence surrounding the home of Mrs. James H. Harmer, at 5902 Greene street, Germantown, last night. Harding and the boy both escaped injur', but the machine was wrecked, and a long section of the' fence torn down. It- was necessary to haul the automobile to a neighboring garage with the aid of a wrecking truck.

According to Harding, he was driving his machine north on Green street at a fairly rapid Epeed, when at Rittenhouse street a boy ran out into the street. Sighting the approaching car, he became confused, and paused directly in the path of Harding's car. Rather than strike the boy, the driver, who was alone in his car, sent the machine suddenly to the left. He was unable to check it in time to prevent the automobile from going unto the fence.

ThuMv is w1anted in West Virginia on a larceny nnarwa PARIS, July 2S. Mme. Henriette Caillaux was tonight acquitted by a jury in the court of Assize of the willful murder on March 16 last of Gaston Cal-mette, editor of the Figaro. The verdict was returned after fifty minutes' deliberation.

The announcement was followed by the wildest tumult. Mme. Caillaux staggered and threw her arms about the neck, of her counsel, Fernand Labori. Her hair was undone, falling over her shoulders and her hat dropped to the floor. The spectators stood upon desks and chairs.

"Caillaux! Labori!" and cries of "Caillaux, assassin!" merged into one. Din Proves Deafening The din was deafening. Several groups of barristers came to blows and the Republican guards, in an endeavor to separate them, joined in the melee. The spectacle of Labori and Chenu, the latter counsel for the Calmette family, embracing each other, calmed the tumult for a moment, but it was redoubled when they left with Mme. Caillaux.

Failing to make himself heard, the Presiding Judge, followed by the other judges, marched out of the room. The advocates took complete possession of the court; some of them mounted the judges' desks and harangued the crowd. The guards then cleared a portion of the room and comparative quiet was restored. Judge Albanel then returned and read the judgment, ordering the release of Mme. Caillaux.

Shaking with emotion, Mme. Caillaux left by the witnesses' door, the guards making a lane through the crpwd. She covered her face with her hands as if to shield herself from the furious cries of "murderess." By way of a number of narrow corridors and back staircases she reached a small side door in the Palace of Justice, where an automobile was waiting and drove off unobserved. JI.
