ADMIRALS PEACE APOSTLES

Seymour and Von Koester In Dramatic Scene at New York Banquet. . New York, Oct 8. —Admiral Seymour of the British navy, one of the last speakers at a dinner to Admiral Von Koester of the German navy, took occasion to pay some glowing tributes to the guest of honor. After referring to the Boxer troubles, where he was supported by seven nations, Seymour said that his best help came from the Germans. Von Koester extended his right hand to the Englishman. The two commanders gripped fervently, and the applause burst in a storm from every quarter of the room.
