At the conclusion of Prince Henry's re- minrks Mayor Rose presented to the prince an elegantly bound album containing the photographs of Milwaukee public bulldings and some of the beautiful residences of the city. Prince Henry left for the east at 10 o'clock on & special train. A large crowd greeted him as he took his farewell. * Day in Chicago. CHICAGO, March 4.—The Chicago which Prince Henry of Prussia saw last night by the glare of many lights was presented to him todsy by the clear light of the sun. The welcome which he received last night was repeated and emphasized and he was given further opportunity to emjoy his ex- pressed desire of meeting American citi- gons at close range. During the day listened to an address from the Oentr: bund of St. Paul, placed a wreath on the Lincoln monument in Lincoln park and en- joyed a luncheon and reception at the Ger- mania club. The prince, contrary to expectation, arose early, but he was no more efiergetic than the crowd. By 8 o'clock fully 30,000 people packed the sidewalk In front of the Rotel. Photographers stood at every vantage point ready to snatch a likeness of the primce when he emerged. It was nearly 10 o'clock before their patience was rewarded. The princé, baving two hours at his disposal, ooncludad that a drive about the city would best pleasé bim. Four bormes and a chaffeur stood ready to take the prince bt wvards, but he later decided in favor of carriage, in order that members of his entourage might also enjoy the bracing morning alr. As the long cavalcade, un- heralded, sped through the streef kiots of people rushed from bulldings, generally too late to see the prince, whose carriage ‘was near the head of the line. The first stop was made at the magnificent new bullding of the Illinois Trust and Savings bank. President John J. Mitchell showed the prince through the institution. The Rookery, one of the city's finest office bulldings, was next visited. It is but a short block from the bank and the prince disdalned to enter his carriage for the trip. " Sees OM. uildings. Both at the bank and the Rookery the stops. were not so brief but the news had time to fiy up and down the street and in both instances when he came out crowds awalted him and’ cheered lustily. The prince seemed pleased at the demonstra- tions and repeatedly touched his cap in courteous answer. In the carriage with bim were Robert T. Lincoln, Mayor Harri- son and Rear Admiral Evans. The mayor and Mr. Lincaln pointed out the objects of interest which were passed. In this manner the prince was shown through the rotall and wholesale districts. A #top was made at the publio library, where the prince sald to Mayor Harrison that the city was t6 be congratulated in possessing such magnificent bulldings. The presentation of the address by Gov- ernor Van Sant of ‘Minnesota was the first detall of the day's officlal program. The prince received the governor and a come mittee accompanying him in his private parlor after he had eaten breakfast. The address presented to the prince by the committee of the Central bund of St. Paul, headed by Governor W, Van Sant of Minnesota, was as follows: In the nun- of the 5,000 residents of t in the city of St. Paul we gatend 1o 30 1ou & hearty welcome to our w o Tiillons of hearts through which German blapd pulsates are joined with us today in {his greeting to an fiustrious scion of the house of Hohensollern, the representative of lha emperor of the German people and of the German empire, your toval poses sssute his .:.n, our broth t we ever think o crry Aiheriand with the deepest love at we to God to unite old Ix(%.nmnxrour new homo ln the bonds The pringe said in response that he would prise the address very highly as afother of the ‘expresgions of good wishes that had come to him everywhere as the ambassador of his-brother, the emperor. “I will give it t6 him, and I am sure he will be as grateful to the people of Minnesota as I am personally.” The prince then asked Governor VanSant to present ‘him personally to the members of his staff, who in full uniform bad stood at attention during the delivery of the ad- ln- ‘This Wwas done and the governor, fp concert with the prince, shook n with }Io prince in farewell, saying a8 he did so! “I will do it for all of you" Crowds Cheer Prince.

The prince was all gravity as he entered the plot of cleanly ept ground sufrounding the monument and lald at the feet of the image of the martyred president the laurel token of respect. The whole ceremony lasted but & fow moments. The prince and his official party quickly entered their earriages and started at a brisk trot for the Germania club, transformed, for the oceasion, into a bit of the fatherland. It had been care- tully planned to make Lhe entertainment of the roysl guest Wt the club the crowning schlevement of the day. He was to be made to feel at home, despite the formall- tles with which such functions must be en- cumbered. A burst of music from a brass band heraldeq the tew minutes the night was “Unser Heinrich” among an en- thusiastic congregation of German-Ameri- cans. Every p tion had been taken Jor the safety of the royal guest. The club ouse had been rigidiy inspected from base- ment to garret hours before the arrival of the prince. After the inspection up to the time the prince set foot in the club house not even members were allowed to enter without special cards of admission. Of all such persons a record was taken. The cavalry escort which had accompanied the prince from the Auditorium drew up in tront before the prince alighted from his carriage. A detachment of pollce re- strained the curious crowds, while detec- tives in citizens’ dress were sprinkisd about the streets leading to the club, In order to guard against any suspiclous characters gotting within even shouting distance of the kalser's brother. Welcome by Countrymen. The prince, arm-in-armi with Dr. Weaver, the German consul in Chicago, was met at the threshold of the ¢lub house by Gustav F. Fischer, president of the club, who also took his arm, and the following members of the club's reception committee: Gustav ‘Wittmeyer, Harry Rubes Judge Theodore Brentano, Bdward G. Halle and Albert F. Madlener. The committes was augmented by the members of the board of directors and other prominent members of the club. The broad stairway leading to the reception and banquet halla was lined with little girls dressed in white. Some of them shyly spoke to the prince, and he nodded pleas- antly to them, apparently enjoying the innocent spectacle. The luncheon was con. fined to the prince and the immedliate party accompanying him from Europe and as- signed to him at Washington. The imperial German consul, Dr. Weaver, the two vice consuls, Drs. Haerring and Zoepfel, Mayor Harrison, Governor Yates, Robert T. Lin- coln, the executive committee, the com- mit of five representing the United G man gocleties, and about fifty members of the club, including directors and the re- ception committee. The gueats were standing when the prince and entourage entered. A string band, hidden behind palms and ferns, played “Der Wacht am Rhein" the tall, quiet, bearded prince, in the uniform of an admiral of the German navy, walked intp the room and was escorted to the seat of homor at the head of the hall. Over the windows of the room blue and white satin had been stretched to soften the light. Huge wreaths which represented the colors of both coun tries trailed to the floor and occupled the space between the windows. The walls were hidden by rare tapestries, behind which there was & background ‘white, At the north end of the banquet hall were busts of President Roosevelt and Emperor Wiillam, under a trlumphal arch made with flowers of the two natlons. At the north end of the ball an immense American eagl spread its wings, while facing it at the south end of the Xall was the eagle:of Germany, There were orange trees and vines in abundance and a profusion of the flags of both countries. The whole scheme ot decoration was pronounced perfect in its harmony and in its symbolism of the friendship of Germany and the United States. Hears Negro Melodies. ‘While the first three coursés were being served the orchestra discoursed mnegro molodies and strains from the operas by Italian and Spanish authors. At the end of the third course Presid Fischer pro- posed the health of the president of the United States, which was drunk standing; then the band played the “Star Spangled Banne! The next toast, also proposed by Mr. Fischer, was to the emepror of Germany. This was drunk like the first and was followed by the playing.of “Hdl, dir im Slegerkrans.”’ During the rendering of both the American and the German patriotic music the guests remained standing. At the end of. the first course Harry Rubens delivered the speech of the occasion, in proposing the health of the club's distin- gulshed guest. 4 nn.u-' from G-r-nu It '“ Mly wg‘ Younl‘ i "n'fa' "4:‘&:‘ the 'm pres ‘adop :fi ne 8 nm: of §° S | bk aid at the e muses of bute »’0 F ours, so not- by 'your visit to the land We true in our alleglance to the kuuig:. .

When the luncheon was finished President Fischer escorted the prince to the elabo- tately decorated ball room, where he re. colved those who had lunched with him. President Fischer stood at his right, while members of his staff and a committee of the club was ranged behind him. It was during this reception that one of the most pleasing Incidents of the day took place. President Fischer, on behalf of the women of the club, presented the prinee with a magnificent vase to be given to his wife, Princess Irene. The prince thanked the women In behalf of the princess, declaring that no incident of his visit bad pleased him more and that he was sure the princess, his wite, would cherish it always among her treasures. The vase was of gold and cut 8a and was two feet high. RICH SOUVENIR FOR PRINCE Ten-Thousand-Dollar Dia sonfc Emblem, Gift of Boston Wo!

DEBATE EAST 0MAHA BRIDCE Ohampions of Railroad Bill Opposed 'by Oouncil Bluffs Oitisens. MILLARD SUGb[STS NAMES FOR CABINET Omaha Agency Investigation is to Be Pashed—Secretary of Inte Firm Amainst Feneeh on Geas< ing Lan (From n Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, March 4.—(Special Tele- gram.)—Those who champion giving to the raflroads all rights over the bridge across the Missouri river at Bast Omaha, met op- ponents of the measure today in the room of the house eommittee on Intersta a forelgn commerce, and for an hour and halt olashed over Congressman Mercer’ bill making the Omaha Bridge and Ter- minal company’s structure between Council Bluffs and Omaha a raflroad bridge through- out. John L. Webster, representative of the Bridge and Terminal company, appeared in support of the measure, outlining the manner in which the bridge came to be bullt and the interests which were back of the project. He sald it was well nigh {mpossible to permit foot passengers and vehicles on the bridge at present, in view of its use by the Iilinols Central. He added that it wae not only dangerous, but was without all reason to permit pedestrians nd veliicles to pass on the bridge in front or behind of locomotives and railrond traf- flc in general! Smith Opposes M Rep! ntative Smith of Council Blufts, following the reading of the resolutions of the Commercial committee of that city and of the city council, vigorously opposed the measure in a speech of considerable length., He sald that the original charter contemplated that this bridge should be one of the main arteries of trade between Omaha and Council Bluils, and the original bill could not have beeen d bad it stipulated that the structure was to be used for a rallroad bridge pure and simple. He remarked that the rallroads had usurped almost everything,-particularly the rights of the people, and he for one wanted to en- ter his protest against the passage of a measure that would work untold hardship to his constitutenay. Emmett Tinley, receiver of the Hast Omaha Land company, followed Congress- man Smith in support of the measure. During the hearing, several members of the committee {interrogated the speakers closely and the queéstions and answers pro- duced amusemént to such an ‘extent that Chairman Hepbura was forced to call the committee to ordér several times. One of the membérs of the committee re- marked after the meeting: ‘‘When the land boomers and rallroad representatives open up thetr game, the public is usually benefited by the glimpse inside.” The committes adjourned without taking & vote on the measure. A. B. Delong of Omaha was present at the hearing, but took mo part in the argument. For a Successor to Hitchooek. Benator Millard, upon his return from New York ' today, confirmed the rumors that he was urging the appolutment of W. 8. McCormiok of Salt Lake City for secretary of the. interior. The feeling is growing in Washington that Hitohcock {s about to retire from the cab« inet and each state delegation, particularly in the easi, .3 anxious to secure the place for & man of its:own choosing. It is stated, lowcur, that President Roosevelt indlieated ds. ago that should Secre- tary Hitchoock “resign he would go west for . his su , And that he would not stop this side of the Rocky mountains for his new secretary. This information havi been nolsed about Senator Millard and Senator Kearns together interview the president in behalf of Mr. McCormick, who is a well known banker of Salt Lake City. He was a dele- gate to the republican national convention at St. Louls apd was Benator Kearns' strongest compefitor in the senatorial fight of a year ago. Wyoming Has a Cand 3 The Wyoming delegation has a candidate for the portfolio in the person of Judge Willls Van Devanter, assistant attorney general for the Interior department. In the event that Mr. McCormick cannot be made secretary, Senator Millard stated that he would heartily favor Judge Van Devanter, whom he regards as one of the best equipped men for the position in the public service today. The junior senator from Nebraska sald he would like to Nave John L. Webster of Nebraska in the cabinet, and his name was suggested- to the president, but later Mr. Roosevelt is reported to have replied that Nebraska ‘was too near Iowa, so that Ne- braska cannot expect a place in President Roosevelt's official family at this time. Representative Mondell of Wyoming was at the Indian office today urging that the work of alloting lands in severalty on the Shoshone and Arapahoe Indian reservations in Wyoming be taken up and completed soon as possible, the work of aliotment hav- ing been suspended for some time. Omaha Agency Investigation, Commissioner Jones of the Indian office said today in regard to the charges filed against Agent Mathewson and Trader C. J. O'Connor of the Omaha and Winnebago agency by Mr, E. Hosewater, that hd would take up the matter immediately and would report his findings to the secretary of the interlor. In view of the fact that the president has called upon the secretary of the interior to make & report upon ‘the charges of Mr. Rosewater, it is expected that the commissioner and the secretary will reach a conclusion speedily. Com- missloner Jones today confirmed the state- ment made in The Bee that the report of Agént McComas recommended the discharge of Haygood and StCyr, but refused to say whether or not it recommended the removal of Mathewson. Senator Millard had an Interview with the secretary of the interior recemtly over the e order issued by the commissioner of the general land office, compelling the occupants of the public domain to remove their fences. This order is particularly obnoxious to large cattle owners in the northwestern half of Nebraska, and they have been tele- graphing and petitioning the senator to have the order rescinded for a time at least.” Senator Millard was unable to se- cure any concession from the secretary, who stated that it was the law and should be cogplied with. The senator had gone first to see Com. missioner Hermand, but received no en- couragement from that official. Senator Mil- lard wanted Speclal Agent Lesser, who is in that section, instructed to permit the fences to remain untll Junme, but Secretary Hiteheock refused to do this. Prepare to Tear Down ¥ Falling to secure any concesalon from the secretary, Senator Millard has telegraphed his friends to be prepared to tear down thelr fences in May or June, as the depart- ment will probably not imsist upon im- mediaté complignce with the order issued by Commissionér Hermann in view of the loss that would ensue should large bodies of cattle be permitted fo drift over the ranges in the face of storms and away from pasturage. Representative Moudell of Wyoming said he was recelviug similar petitions and tele- ‘srams asking for an abatement of the order, but had received no encouragement froni the department, and he presumed tha the cattlemen would e to face the mu and tear down their fences early in the wpring. Mins 1 River Appropriations. Senator Gamble, talking of the river and harbor bill as prepared by the house com- mittee, sald today he wondered that the Missoury river received anything. “Sioce the committes has had Mr. Bur- ton as chairman,” sald the senator, ‘‘he has been opposed to any appropriation whatever for the Missouri river. The South Dakota delegation In the lower house has been powerless to secure even a sem- blance of justice, and we will have to take care of the Missourl river in the senate. It 1s the purpose of Senator Kittridge and myself to go before the senate committes on commerce and insist upon being accorded & reasonable appropriation for continuing the improvements at Elk Polnt, Yankton Plerte, ‘also an appropriation for a storage reservolr at the head of the Big Sfoux river. We shail insist upoti $200, 000 being expended at the polnts named. Representative Burkett hae accepted an invitation to address the Lenawee County MoKinley club at Adtian, Mich., the night of March 14. Senator Warren gave a dinner tonight in honor of Senator Frye at which forty-four guests were present, Including a number of senators, army and navy officers and heads ot departments. The bill opening to settlement the Crow reservation in Montana and ratifying the treaty with the Crow Indians passed the senate today. Should this bill become a law it will open to homestead entry nearly 7,000,000 acres of land in Montana on the line of the Burlington railroad. Rellef of Omaha Firm. The senate today passed a bill appropriat- ing $15,000 for the rellef of Rasmussen & Strehlo of Omaha, due them for the destruc- tion by a cyclonic storm of the government bullding at the Buffalo exposition. The bill now goes to the president for his sig. nature. Benator Millard today recommended the appointment of Cora J. Morgan for post- mistress at Cumro, Custer county, and recommended a change of site for the postofiice. Thomas R. Brayton of Omaha is in Wash- ington. Senator Dietrich has gone to Albany to join his daughter and with her return to her school at Bryn Mawr, Miss Dietrich having recovered from her illness. ‘W. C. Clements, special agent of rural free delivery, is in South Dakota with in- structions to remain in that state and ex- amine into all pending applications for rural free delivery routes and dispose of them before going elsewhere. The South Dakota delegation has been laboring to se~ cure a ‘special agent in that state for a long time, but the demand for agents had been so great from nearly every congres: slonal district that it has been utterly im- possible to comply with the request of the South Dakotans until now. A bill introduced by Senator Millard to grant an increase of pension to Elizabeth Bteele, widow of James Steele, late first ljeutenant of Co. K, First Nebraska cavalry, and pay her $17 a month, was favorably reported to the semate today. Department Notes.

CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN IMMEDIATELY Power Plant to and Heating and Be Hrected This Year, Leaving Twoe Wings to Be ed Later. Quite an important meeting of the trus- tees of the Methodist hospital was held at the Young Men's Christian assoclation room yesterday afternoon. In addition to electing nmew trustees for the term, the plans for the new hospital were expanded until the first idea of the hospital has been entirely overshadowed in tife prospect, Work will be sterted at once on what will be, when completed, the finest and most com- plete hospital in the west. Only the main bullding and heating and power plant will be constructed during the present season, leaving two wings to be added at some later time. The estimated expense of the work is $105,000, Rev. J. W. Jennings, presiding elder of the Omaha district, was in the ohair. Re- ports from the trustees and officers 6t the hospital for the last year were read and showed the affairs of-the institution to be in a flourishing condition, the only draw- back being the lack of facilities to accom- todate the applicants for treatment. In the last year more than 900 patients have been treated at the present hospital, of which number over one-third were free pa- tlents. The deaconnesses told the trustees and others at the meeting that the work of the hospital has entirly outgrown its pres- ent quarters and that something must be done at once to relleve the conditions. Speaks Encouraging Words. Presiding Elder Kemper of Lincoln, who was at the meeting, made an inspiring talk, pointing ou that not only the Methodlsts of Omaha, but the Methodists of the whole state, are interested in the work of the hospital, and arguing that there are 50,000 Methodists in Nebraska who will give a dol- lar each towards the new building. Wil- lam Wilson of Blair, an enthusiastic chame« plon of hospital extension, spoke at some length on the theme. Mrs. W. P. Harford and Mrs. E. P, Sweeley also addressed the meeting. With these arguments and prom- lses of support the trustees had little matters of | trouble in reaching the decision to go ahead with the new bullding. Thomas R. Kimball has prepared the plans for the bullding which contemplate a maln building with two wings running obllquely from each end, and a power and heating plant established ~independently. At the present time the wings will not be con- structed. All the modern notions of hos- pital construction are contemplated in the plans, the rooms to be bullt without angles In the corners and the like, so that the ut- miost cleanliness will be possible with a minimum of labor. In fact, mothing that will add to the comfort-of the sick or the convenience of the ‘attendants will be om- itted. When complete with both wings the bullding will have cost upward of $200,000, That 900 were treated while more than 1,000 were denied admission for lack of room during the last year has ‘convinced the trustees of the wisdom of their step. Trustees elected for the next year were: Rev. Jesse W. Jennings, Charles A. Goss, C. W. Delamatre, Rev. C. N. Dawson, Eras- tus Young, Jay Laverty, B. R. Ball, R. B, Carter and W. P. Harford.

At this season, thou- sauds are nearing the grave; all can be ved by the prompt use of Paine's Celery Compound. Mrs. Virglala Shepherd, Pow- ellton, W. Va., writes as follows: “I had been sick for elght Years, and no tongue can tell what I suffered. 1 would bave spells of nervons headache when 1 would kéep my bed five and six days, and could mot ralse my. head off.the pillow. Then I would get numb all over, and they would have to rub and work over me to keep me alive and I would have sinking pells and palpitation of the heart, but thanks to Paine's Celery Compound, and I cannot pratee it enough, I have not had & beadache for sfx weeks, & thing T could not y before in elght years. Your Com. pound has almost raised 'me from the grave, as I had given up all hopes of this lite until my husband read one of your pam- phlets. After I had been ustng It 1 felt better than I had for three years." Diamond Dyes % are the simplest Jree hade. A child can use them.
