GERMAN HOPES EXCEEDED Most Sangnine Expectations of Prince Reception by Amers feans Surpassed. BERLIN, March 9.—Some of the daily papers have begun eumming up Prince Henry's trip to the United States. Their ete satisfaction. the prince’s trip was to have any specific political a! merely purposed to bring about an {m- provement in the popular feeling in both courftries. The Borsen Zeltung admits that its most sanguine expectations have been exceeded by the occurrences of the prinee's trip and saye the heartfelt cordialty displayed by the Americans was greater tham could have been expected. Zeltung says that Prince Henry s e Americans have learned to understand and appreciate each other, and that the vesult attained is out of the com- mon.

PUTS CARE ON BANKS (Continued from First Page.) measure a number of propositions, which had been urged separately heretofore. Mr. Fowler explains the purpose of the bill as follows: ““The purposes of the bill are: To trans- fer trom the government to the banks the responsibllity of protecting the necessary gold reserve and the burden of furnishing gold for export, thereby saving our com- merce from the destructive apprehensions growing out of trade upon the “gold in the treasury,’ which can now only be re- plenished by a tax Imposed updn the peo- ple through the sale of bonds; te provide & currency always responsive and equal to the demands of trade everywhere and to equalize and lower the average rate of interest in all parts of the United to secure for American enterprise American capital the privileges and oppor- tunities in engaging In internationsl bank- ing under the natiohal law, and so lay & foundation upen which te bulld an Ameri- can merchant marine; to remove the last vestige of doubt with regard to our standard of values.

(From a Staft Correspondent.) WASBHINGTON, March 9.—(Special.)— The senate has disposed of the irrl will become of the measure in n >pen question. er Henderwon is not par- ticularly favorable to the irrigation policy, notwithstanding the fact that both political parties committed themeelves to it in their last national platforms. There Is, however, a decided determination upon tne part of the western and northwestern men to force to the house to take action and no one has been more industrious towards this end than Represenative Francis G. Newlands of da. In point of population Nevada is the smallest state in the unipn, but few statés, even among those ranking as the first, are represented in the lower house of congress by a more able, painstaking and consclentious man than Mr. Newlands. It has not always been the largest Lave Had the ablest representation in Wash ington. For many years the state of Maine outclassed them all, that is, when that great quartet, Reed, Dingley, Bouislle and M- ken, filled the four seats assigned to Maine in the lower house, Delaware has sent mi like Bayard, Saulsbury and Gray to the senate. Mr. Newlands undoubtedly has a personal interest in securing irrigation legislation, in the union will more greatly itroduction of a pational torage and distribution Then, too, it must be remembered that no member representing the arid and semi-arid region had had suoch a long period of continued service as the Nevada member. Nor has anyone studied the subject. in all its bearings in & country of the old world which has at tempted irrigation to the extent of the in- vestigation made by Mr. Newlapds. Should the house finally adopt the semate bill or any similar measure, success will be due largely to the efforts of the western men, who formed a committee early in the session and who seiected Benator Warren of Wy- oming for chairman and Mr. Newlands for secretary. This committee succeeded in bringing together the various opposing ele- mente and It has neglected no opportunity to impress its views upon its colleagues. So well has it carried on ity work that there 1s today a clear majority in the house fa- ‘vorable to the poliey of irrigation. Prohibition of Lobbying. In opite of President Roosevelt's order prohibiting employes of the departments ing in lobbylng, & great deal of work this sort is going on. The most Indus- trious persons during the last month have been some of the chiefs of divisions of the sclentific bureaus of the Agricultural de- partment. The malls have been literally flooded during the lpat week or two with lotters from all sections of the country, urg- ing members to vote for larger appropria- tions than the committee on agriculture seems disposed to recommend. All these lotters evidently emanate from ome source and that is the bureau of plant industry in the department. It is natural that ex perts employed in solentific bureaus should use every means available for mcreasing the scope of the work which they are called upon to perform, but the plant in- dustry people are sald to have exceeded the lmit. If all demands of this kind should recelve attention it would take the entire surplus to run the sclentific bureaus of the government for one year. As it Is, the committes on agriculture has been tremely liberal to these bureaus of the Agricultural department and the money pro- vided will undoubtedly materially ald the secretary in extending the Inquiries, which have thus far proved of such enormous value to the farmers of the country. The action of the Colombian government In the matter of the Panama canal has made It practically certaln that the offer of the French company will mot. be ao- cepted by congress. Hvidences multiply to indicate that the Oentral American coun- tries, through which the canal might be run, look upon the United States'as a gold mine. Costa Rica and Nicaragus propose to get a Dbite from Uncle Sam’'s ‘surplus it they can, and the action of Colombia ‘was doubtedly taken with thie ‘idea of dividing the §40,000,000, which the French company asks ' for .its so-called a . Probably the complications which have arisen and the developments' which h been unearthed will result in mullitying action during the present session of con- gress. In any event, the prospects for Canal legisiation geem to grow dimmer. « Demand for Public Bulldings. .Some idea of the demands for publie buildings which are annually, presented to congress can be gathered from a remark Arcliltect ‘Taylor, who “Up to date I-have had 365 bills for new public bulldings #ubmitted to me for reports upon the mecessity for them since this congress assembled in Detember. This number does not take fito acecunt the bills presented for additions to public buildings already constructed. There is ome of this continued. Mr. Taylor, “‘which hes been ocoupted less than a month and it fs already entirely too small for the business of the postofice in the town in which it s situated. I refer to the post- office bullding in Beaumont, Tex. The postal business of Beaumont has grown so enorm- ously within the past few montbs that the butlding which wes adequate for the re- quirements when designed 'is now alto- gether too small for the work which must be dope thére.” “What do you think eof the. proposition submitted to o Bome years ago by the late Benator Paddock of Nebraska for a general law to provide public bulldings in all towns where the pastal receipts reach a certain figure?’ Mr. Taylor was asked. “1 think,” he responded, "it would be a good thing for congress to suthorize commission of the postmas general, the secretary of ths interior, t secretary of the treasury and the attorney general, which should have furisdiction in these matters. The commission should be required to report from year to year to congress which towns ought to be supplied with public bulldings. They are the cabinet officers coming into closest coptact with the *|efties of the United Btates and are better qualified to judge as to the advisability plan as this were adepled It would result in putting up Butidings jubt Where they are needed and where the government eould save money in the WAy of rents by erecting bulldings.” SHIPPING A'D ASMULT BILLS Subsidy Messuie Wil Divide Time of Semage with Presidential Protection Bill. —_— WASHINGTON, Merch 9.—The attention will be divided again this week between the ship subsidy bill and the bill providing tor the punishment of persous who assault or kill the president of the United States, THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, the place of unfinished s and the Jatter coming In for eon- sideration when there ia no one prepared to speak on the subsidy question. Among those who have announced thelr intention to Speak on the subsidy bill is Senator Vest, but the condition of his health, which re- mains far from robust, may prevent his addressing the senate. Senator Mallory also will talk on this subject, but beyond t addresses have been announced. here undoubtedly will be ber of short speeches on the bill. pared speeches on the presidential assault bill have been announced, but there is no doubt the lawyers of the senate will con- tinue to find more or less to s whenever opportunity shall offs times the calendar will be taken up. Alto- gether, the week does not promise to be an exciting one in the senate. DEFEAT OF BILL PREDICTED Failure to Pass Rural Free Delivery 6e Mensure a Foregone the rural free delivery service and place the carriers under the contract eystem, will devote Its attention to appropriation bills. The postofice appropriation bill, which will be taken up first, probably will require three days. It will be followed by the river and harbor bill. It is regarded as a foregone conclusion that the rural free dellvery bill will be defeated when the vote is taken tomorrow.
