Tb? last experience abroad of the Prince of Wales was his departure, among thun- | derous cheers, from the shores of New- | foundland, while the streets through which the Prince was obliged to be driven to-day, on his way to visit the British Embassador, were without one sing.e Brit- | ish flag. While receiving the most elaborate at- | tentions from the family of the Emperor and from German officialdom, the Prince ! of Wales must feel the chilling attitude of the German public. Almost all the | newspapers refrain from editorial com-‘ ment on his visit. Reviews First Royal Dragoons.

Prince Henry Will Incur No Expensc During His Visit. WASHINGTON, Jan.26.—Though Prince Henry of Prussia will stop at the German embassy while in Washington, he will be the guest of the nation during his stay in this country. This means that ail his expenses will be paid by the United States Government. To provide the necessary funds for his reception and.entertainment a provision appropriating $40,000 has been inserted in the urgent deficiency bill. This sum is to be disbursed under direction of the Secretary of State. It will be used for the settlement of carriage, lodging, rail- road and other bills which will be in- { curred in consequence of the visit of the Prince. In making this appropriation Congress has acted in compliance with the request of the administration. The secret fund of the State Department has already been drawn upon for various incidental ex- ponses, and a portion of the remainder must be set aside to pay the expenses of the special embassy which will represent the United States at King Edward. The balance could not have stood the payment of the bills for Prince entertainment as_well. % In the cities which the Prince will visit the best accommodations obtainable must be obtained for him.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—The Senate will devote its principal attention this week to the Philippine tariff bill. It Is the purpose of Senator Lodge, who is in charge of the bill, to keep it before the Senate persistently until it is disposed of. He does not count on final action for some time. It is not the principal purpose of | the friends of the bill to debate it, but the | attacks which will be made upon it and | upon the entire administration of Philip- | pine afffirs inevitably will bring replies | from many of the Republican Senators. It is understood that a majority of the Senators on the Democratic side of the chamber will be heard on the bill before | it is passed. Among those who will speak v are Senators Carmack, Money, Tel- Culberson, Turner, Patierson, Jones of Arkansas and Bacon. Senator Lodge | will seek the earliest opportunity to have | the amendments recommended by his committee formally adopted, but probably will not press these when Senators are | prepared to proceed with set speeches. | " Senator Nelson will take advantage of every chance to have the bill creating a Department of Commerce considered, with the hope of obtainng action on it during the week if possible. The House leaders have made no pro- gramme for the work of the present week, as there are no measures of importance pressing for attention, although the anti- oleomargarine bill and the Hill bill for | the exchangeability of gold and silver are both on the calendar and may be taken | up before long. Thus far no exact time | has been fixed for either of these meas- ures, and the lesser bills will take their | chances as opportunity presents itself. | There promises to be considerable time | to spare during the week, as_there are no appropriation bills ready to fill the gap when bills of a general nature are lack- ng. The chief interest of the week. centers in the opening of hearings by the Ways and Méahs Committee on the reduction of war revenue taxes.

On Tuesday the committee will return to the subject. of Cuban reciprocity, hearing more of the representatives of beet sugar and also several Cuban lanters, who have come to the United States to pre- sent their views. | probably will consist of an engine, two passenger cars and one baggage car. Since the announcement of the coming of the Prince diplomats in Washington | have been quietly making inquiries to as- certain the effect upon the administration of the overture of Emperor Willlam. One of these gentlemen said to-day that so far as the United States was concerned he was satisfied that no [mlmcal results would follow the efforts of the Emperor. “The United States is naturally gratified that _the German Emperor should so os- tensibly single it out for such an unusual | demonstration of friendship,” he sald, “but I think the common sense of your officials prevents them being blinded as to the real value of the protestations. William is erratic, and, friendly as he is to-day to the United States, he is likely to overturn all the good that is being ac- complished by an unfriendly act three months hence.’ NEW YORK, Jan. 2%.—Representatives of the varlous German socleties of New York City met this afternoon to further consider plans for the reception of Prince | Henry. It was decided that there should i be a_torchlight procession on the evening of February 2%—the same evening on which the newspaper men of the country will meet the Prince at dinner. It is an- | nounced that Dr. von Holleben had given his sanction to the procession. It is esti- | mated that more than 30.000 marchers will | be in line, and Prince Henry will review | the parade from the building of the Arion | Society, Fiftyminth street and Park ave- nue. It was announced to-night that Morris | K. Jessup, J. Plerpont Morgan, Edward | D. Adams, George F. Baker, John Claf- | lin, Elbert H. Gary, L. M. Goldberger, | Abram S. Hewitt, Alexander E.

SCHLEY PISES QUET SHBBHTH Attends Divine Services and Visits the Home of Friends, il @ CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—Visitors were de- nied Admiral Schley to-day, and he was given ample time to rest after yester- day’s arduous programme. After break- fast in their apartments at the Audito- rilum, the Admiral and Mrs. Schley, in company with Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Mun- ger, at 11 o'clock attended services at Trinity Episcopal Church. As their place of worship had not been made pub- lic, only the usual congregation was pres- ent. The sermon was preached by Rev. ‘W. A. Guerrey, chaplain of the Univer- sity of the South, Sewanee, Tenn., but the Unlg’ reference that he made to Ad- miral Schley was when he notified the congregation of the admiral's presence. When_the services ended the congreg: tion stood In line at the door and as Ad- miral Schley passed out he shook hands with them right and left. Returning to the Auditorium, Admiral and Mrs, Schley were driven to the home of Mr. and Mrs. W, ‘Washburn, where they took lunch- eon. After a short drive "through the parks the couple returned to their apart- ments, where they remained until 7 o'clock, when they were driven to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Morris, where a dinner in honor of the admiral Bnld l';i! wlile w;ll;! sfrved;i The affair was private, only the immediate f both parties being invited., e ST To-morrow the admiral will be kept busy from early morning until late at night.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. — Secretar: Long was in conference with the Presi- the officers of the dent for more than an hour to-night, pre- sumably in regard to the appeal of Rear 4Aamirel Sqhley from the findings of the MANILA OPPOSES VIEWS OF TAFT Citizens Object to Pro- posed Reduction of the Army, Backed in Their Contention by the Influence of the Military. Epecial Dispatch to The Call, MANILA, Jan. 2.—The Manila public, backed by army influence, is inclined to dispute Governor Taft's cabled interviews since his arrival in the United States con- cerning the reduction of the army by 15,000 men within a year, which would un- doubtedly be the minimum strength of the American forces. Residents of Ma- | nila, however, are naturally influenced by the prolonged insurrection and mistrust the course of the provinees. They do not see, and therefore do not appreciate, the gradual increase in the efficiency of the provincial constabulary, which now num- bers 5000 men and which is already reliev- ing the army of a large amount of work. | The munlclfin.l police are also performing | usetul work and the native troops now in the field are daily becoming more | perfect in thefr dutles under American { Instruction. { ,Furthermore, many of the natives fail to appreciate the improvement in condi- ! tions other than military. Trade.is grow- ing and as a consequence money is more plentiful. Popular self-government here i is working advantageously and the la- { drones are being rapidly destroyed. The entire province of Bataan has been peac: fully controlled for months without a sin- gle soldier, and General Bell has achieved great success in the province of Batangas. Captains Allan and Baker of the regular army, who are acting as chiefs of the constabulary, are recognized as belonging | to the ablest type of officers. Many regu- lar officers are acting as Governors of provinces, and they concur in Governor Taft's statements. ‘Want Chinese Admitted. The American Chamber of Commerce | here has formulated an appeal to Con- gress, in which it earnestly prays for the enactment of laws allowing Chinese to | enter the Philippine Islands under such {'restrictions as the United States Philip- | pines Commission may enact. | PiThe present restrictive law pertaining to immigration,” continues the appeal, “is of no benefit to the Filipinos. Chinese, if admitted, would not enter into competi- | tion with the local labor and their entry | into the islands is imperatively needed, as the tobacco, hemp and sugar lands of the archipelago are ‘only partly cultivated. Without this legislation the country can not be properly developed. Building in Manila has been badly retarded because | of this lack of labor, and for these rea- | sons the American Chamber of Commerce, | composed entirely of American citizens representing commercial interests, re- spectfully prays for immediate action in this matter.” _ Felipe Buencamino, one of the directors | of the Federal party, is endeavoring to arrange an exhibition of commerce, to b held next December. He relies mainl upon exhibits from the United States, China, Japan, Siam and Borneo. The merchants of Manila are inclined to be- lieve that this exhibition shouid be de- layed another year. but, if sufficlent sup- port be promised, the United States Phil- ippine Commission will be asked to assist in carrying out the idea. Bolomen Terrorize Negros. Colonel Charles W. Miner of the Sixth Infantry reports the conditions on the Island of Negros to be unsatisfactory and that 400 bolomen and forty men armed with rifles, under command of the fanat- ical bandit leader, Papa Isio, are terror- izing the people. The United States Philippines Commis- sion has appropriated $5000 for improving the harbor of Iloflo and $3000 to be ex- pended .on the Cagelayan River, in North- | ern Luzon. I o o e LONDON MARKET - GENERALLY FIAM Northern Railway Trou- ble Depresses Ameri- can Securities. | LONDON, Jan. 26.—The Stock Ex- | past week. dicated a large supply of money, while the general purchases have been upon a larger scale than for some months past. The reduction in the bank rate of discount has helped the situation, insuring the comparatively easy condi- tion of the money market for some time _to_come. The predictors of the boom In home rails have been rather disappointed at the dividend announcements ‘and this section of the market has been decidedly flat. But conservative critics point out that this may be taken as a rather hopeful symptom, since traffic has been good and the managers are devoting the resultant funds to improvements instead of to dividends: American securities are quiet, pending the settlement of ‘the case of the North- ern Securities Company. Mining securi- ties 1remained firm. BERLIN, Jan. 2.—The Boerse during' the past week was characterized by the strength in all Government funds and fixed interest bearers. The tendency in industrials was mixed, iron remaining strong, while coal shares and most of the other industrials lost several points, Coal shares were depressed by the con- tinued warm weather and the difficulty in disposing of the output. The coal syndicate declared yesterday that it was impossible to sell all the coal produced by the syndicate’s mines, although the curtailment of the output was being rig- idly enforced. The quotations on iron shares im- proved through further evidence that the business situation had bettered. The market was chiefly dominated dur- ing the last week by the two 3 per cent loans, amounting to 300,000,000 marks, in which there have already been immense transactions. The market also showed great interest in the mortgage bank obligations and some foreign rentes attracted marked attentlon. Shares of the ocean trans- portation companies rallied strongly dur- ing the week upon the expectation that Herr Ballin, president of the Hamburg- American line, and Dr. Wiegand of the North German Liloyd Steamship Com- pany, will effect an advantageous ar- rangement in New York. "American rails were again on the downward movement. Kaffirs were steady and great things are expected in these Securities in the future.

What seems a remarkable condition exists in the vicinity of Ogallala, where the storm ‘was more severe than in any other por- tion of the State, except the northwest quarter. It was expected that the losses among cattle in that district would be enormous, but reports received from sev- eral points in the: cattle district affirm that actually no loss was sustained. Reports from the northwest portion of the State are not s¢ flattering, while those from Kimball and Banner counties indicate that heavy losses have occurred. Basset, in the heart of the cattle district, reports severe losses In that vicinity. Bertrand also reports heavy losses. So far no loss of life has been reported as a result of the storm. A late report from Alllance says that the mercury has dropped to 2 degrees be- }ow zero, with a veritable blizzard rag- ng. No Trace of Missing Rancher. THOMPSON, Mont., Jan. 26.—The mys- tery of the strange disappearance of E. A. Goodchild, one of Montana’s prominent citizens and a big mill man of Thompson, remains unsolved. W. E. Lindenbaum. his_partner in the milling business, has had a party of men on day wages en- gaged in the search, but thus far they have met with no Success. Goodchild has | been missing since last Tuesday, when he left home, taking his dog and his gun and going on a hunting trip. Goodchild was familiar with the country and it is considered hardly likely that he could have lost his way. Grave fears are en- tertained that he met an accldent and lost his life. A severe blizzard, with in- tense cold, has swept the mountains, and it is feared that if Goodchild did lose his way he could hardly have survived the B T e NIPPING AND EAGER AIR THREATENS THE FRUIT Orchardists in the South Are Warned to Protect Crops From Cold. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 26—The coldest weather of the’ winter now prevails in Southern California, the temperature this mornln% going as low as 32 degrees. A heavy frost covered the ground and ice [!Ormefl in plac Citrus fruit growers | had ample warning of the approaching cold snap and took the necessary steps to protect oranges and lemons. No re- | ports of damage have come in as yet. Warnings have been sent out of still colder weather to-night, which it is stated will be accompanied by killing frosts. ‘Weather Observer Franklin said: “T have been advised of the approach of a freezing temperature and killing frosts | to-night, which, unless unusual precau- tions are taken by orchardists, may do great damage. The temperature in Los Angeles this morning was as low as 32 | Gegrees, and I have no doubt did some damage, the extent of which I will not learn until to-morrow."” MONTEREY, Jan. 26.—The coldest wea- ther this section has known for the past several years occurred last night and to- day. The mercury fell to 26 degrees. Thin ice formed over all standing water, re- maining in some places till nearly noon. The frost wrought considerable damage to tender plants and shrubs. The tempe- rature moderated slightly this afternoon. SAN JOSE, Jan. 21.—It was unusually cold here last night and this morning, the Jowest temperature being 32. A high wind blew last night. NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—A fire at Montclair, N. J., to-day destroyed several buildings in the ‘business section. Other buldings were badly damaged.

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 26.—The storm that swept down on this section on Friday night brought a cold wave which drop- ped the temperature this morning to a point lower than had been reported in several years before, the record being 8 degrees below zero. The freeze paralyzed the electric light plant by blockading with ice the canal from which it derives its power. The city is therefore without light, and the newspapers and others re- lying upon the company for power are badly crippled. Cold Wave Strikes Kansas. TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 26.—The weather throughout Kansas is many degrees cold- er to-night. Clear, calm and very cold is the condition throughout the State, as ascertained by reports received here to- night. Cattle on the western range are suffering and much loss is likely to en- sue unless the situation improves. How- ever, very little wind accompanies the cold. The coldest portion of the State to-night is the northern tier of counties. Phillipsburg reports the mercury as read- ing 10 below. The snow which fell yes- terday is packed tight and the wheat will be well protected. GUTHRIE, O. T., Jan. 26.—The coldest weather of the winter, with the ther- mometer at zero all day.and a howling niorth wind, is being experienced in Okla- homa. Possibly nowhere else in the South- west will its severity be so great. There are large cattle interests that will suf- fer, no matter what provision has been made to protect them. The wheat crop will be damaged, as not enough snow has accompanied the blizzard to protect the rank growth. In the Indian Territory, principally in the Creek Nation, where the Indians are in destitute circumstances, the conditions are very bad for under- going the rigors of such weather. DALLAS, Tex., Jan. 26.—Rain, sleet and snow fell throughout Texas to-day and to-night the temperature s the lowest of the season. The snow will prove of | Inestimable value to the wheat crop. | SAYS THAT SHE TOOK | POISON BY MISTAKE Life of a San Francisco Woman Nearly Ended in a Seattle Hotel. SEATTLE, Jan. 2%.—A guest in thg Douglas Hotel, known to the proprietor as Mrs. M. Colin of San Francisco, swal- lowed the contents of a bottle of oil of cedar early this morning. The pungent odor of the poison attracted the attention of neighboring roomers ‘soon after the at- tempt had been made and medical aid was quickly summoned. After working over the woman the remaining hours of the morning and well on during the forenoon, Dr. J. C. Johnson pronounced her out of danger. The woman refuses positively to talk of it. She arrived at the Douglas last Thursday, according to the proprie- tor, and has been out of her room_ but little since that time. The police believe that she intended suicide, although the woman_says the oil was taken by mis- take. Beyond this statement and admit- she maintains silence and displays no feel- ing one way,or the other over the failure of her attempt, if such it was, at self-de- struction. e PRASLATL SR Accidentally Shot by Brother. CORONA, Jan. 25.—Carl Brown, aged 18 vears, the son of Willlam Brown, was accidentally shot by his younger brother, 14 years of age, this morning while out hunting.

Patriots Rescue a Party of Prisoners Taken by COolonel Wilson. Several Men Are Killed or Wounded on Both Sides in the Engage- ment Attending the Rescue. —_— LONDON, Jan. 26.—A report sent by Lord Kitchener, in Johannesburg, tells of the important capture of General B. Vil Joen, in the neighborhood of Lyndenburs, Transvaal Colony, as wel the captures of small parties of Boers elsewhere. The capture of General Viljoen, who ‘was General Botha's most able lieutenant and who has given the British a deal of trouble, has created Mvely satisfaction in London. The correspondent of the Daily Tele- &rnph at Brussels says in a dispatch that r. Kruger has received fresh invitations from Chicago, New York and Philadel- phia to visit those citles, and that he will probably start upon an American tour next month. PRETORIA, Jan. 28.—Colonel Wllson captured twenty Boers near Frankfort, in Orange River Colony, yesterday. He was preparing at dawn this morning to move away with his captives when a superior force of Boers made a desperate effort to recapture the prisoners. fight ensued, in which all but three of the prisoners es- caped and in which a few men were killed or wounded on both sides. SEES THE DOOM OF BOERS. NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—Right Rev. L. K. Coppin, who sailed from this city about a year ago on the Umbria to take charge of the Fdurteenth Episcopal Diocese of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in South Africa, returned by the same ship, arriving here to-day. He is from Philadelphia and was the first bishop sent out by the African Methodist Episcopal Church to take charge of the diocese, which lles south of the Zambest River and comprises two conferences, the South Af- rican and the Transvaal. Said he: I found plenty of work awaiting me when I got out there. The two conferences were map- ped out but were not organized and only 3 start had been made In their development. We now have between forty and fifty churches es- tablished, with more than 100 traveling mini ters. We have recently bought a large builc ing in Cape Town, where in February next we will open & school to prepare students for & collegiate course. We are also hoping soom to start Industrial and literary schools near Bloemfontein, modeled after the same general plan as the school at Tuskegee. We are seriously handicapped in this project by the unsettled condition of the country, om account of the war. There seems little hope of the terrible war cloud lifting. You cannot conceive the condition of affairs over there. Tie i Boers are gradually being wiped off the earth. It is no longer war, but a process of slow extermination, England will never listen to any arbitration proposition which means restoration of the republic and the Boers will accept no other settlement. Just as long as they are able | to keep up the guerrilla method of warfare they can, notwithstanding the smaliness of their number, keep thousands of soldiers in the fleld h;ly watching them and trying to head them oft.
