STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Feb. 2L.—Ac- cording to the Tidningen the United | States Steel Corporation has purchased nearly all the shares of the Gellivare Ore Company at the nominal price of 6,000,000 kronen. It adds that the steel corporation will take over the working of the North Swedish mines in the autumn. NEW YORK. Feb. 2L.—A representative of the United States Steel Corporation de- nied to-day the report from Sweden that the corporation had bought iron proper- | ties in that country. It was said that ne- gotiations had been entered into some time ago between the London representa- tive of the Carnegie Steel Company, act- ing for the United States Steel Corpora- tion, and the owners of the Swedish prop- | erties referred to, but it was deemed wise by the steel corporation not to acquire | these properties or make any purchases | of this sort in foreign countries.

GROTON, Mass., Feb. 21L.—Theodore Roosevelt Jr., who has been ill with pneu- monia for two weeks in the Groton School | Infirmary, is bound for Washington to- night. Bundled to his eyes with a blan- ket he was taken in a covered sleigh from the infirmary to the special train which had been in readiness at the Groton sta- tion for several days. He was accom- panied by Mrs. Roosevelt and Dr. P. M. Rixey, while in another conveyance was Miss Alice Roosevelt. A light snow was failing at the time. The departure of the party was so un- expected that not a dozen persons were on the station platform when the train pulled out. The party occupied the pri- vate car Convey and the intention was to have it taken through to Providence and there have it attached to the Fed- eral Express, The decision to take young Roosevelt to Washington was made during lunch at 1 o'clock. Dr. Warren, the school physi- cian, all the morning had been opposed to a _change of the patient at this time. Dr. Rixey gave his opinion that the boy would stand the journey all right, and that the weather at this time w bly no worse than it would be to or possibly Sunday, judging froi the weather forecast. At lunch Dr. Warren reluctantly consented to allow the pa- tient’s removal. It was Mrs. Roosevelt's wish to have her son in Washington as soon as he could be moved with safety. Until this morning the arrangements had been made for the party’s return on Saturday, but this noon in the discussion Dr. Rixey pointed out that if the start was delayed until morning the storm might cause de- lay along the road, especially if the snow was heavy. Immediately affer lunch baggage was | was prepared for the departure of the party, and when at 4 o'clock all were | driven to the station very few in the school knew of it. Dr. Peabody was not informed until nearly time for the good- bys to be said. SAYS MAGNETIC HEALER MAY HAVE A LICENSE Supreme Court of Illinois Defines Rights of a Man in Notable Case. SPRINGFIELD, Iil, Feb. 2L.—The Su- preme Court to-day handed down an opin- ion that a magnetic healer is a physician and is entitled to a license. The opinion was rendered in the case of the people versus John S. Gordon in'a sult to recover the penalty for practicing medicine without a license. The case comes from Winnebago County, where a | judgment was entered in favor of the de- fendant, which the appellate court af- firmed. The Supreme Court finds that the Circuit Court erred in instructing the jury to find for the defendant and that the appellate court erred in affirming that judgment, and the judgment of the lpwer court is reversed and remanded, the Su- reme Court holding that a magnetic ealer is a physician, and not a trained nurse, as insisted by the defendant, be- cause he does not use drugs or material remedy. ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA SATISFIES UNCLE SAM Question That Was Raised About Manchuria Now Considered Well Settled. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21L—The United States Government is now perfectly satis- fied as to the correctness of Russia’s in- tentions respecting Manchuria. The pledges heretofore obtained from Russia have been renewed and reinforced so strongly that they must be accepted as satisfactory unless our Government is prepared to deliberately question Russia’s integrity, which it has not the least dis- position to do. BERLIN, Feb. 21.—The note of the United States to Russia and China on the subject of commercial rights in Manchu- ria has been communicated to Germany, but no answer has been made. Germany maintains the attitude she has previously announced, that Manchuria is outside the sphere of German interests and she sees | no regson to change it. COMES FROM SYRIA SEEKING A DAUGHTER Mother of Girl Who Was at Chicage's Fair Travels a Long Distance. JANESVILLE, Wis, Feb. 2L—After traveling from her Syrian home, Mrs. | Eliaz Schauere is here on her way to San Francisco to seek her daughter Julia, who has been missing for several years. It has taken the woman fourteen months to get this far, and much of the distance she has walked, having been un- able to earn more than a pittance on the way in any of the cities she has visited. Her daughter came to this country to en- ter one of the shows on the Midway at the Chicago World's Fair, and later went to San Francisco with her uncles. Then she secured a position with a family near Stockton, and three months later all trace of her was lost. Gives Her Money to Charity. GARRISON-ON-THE-HUDSON, N.

Liner With Henry on Board Is Expected Some Time To-Day. NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—All preparations have been made for the reception and en- tertainment of Prince Henry of Prussia, who is on the Kronprinz wilhelm, which { is_expected to arrive to-morrow. The imperial yacht Hohenzollern, after having been cleaned up, lies at her pier at the foot of West Thirty-fourth strect awaiting the Prince’s arrival. Her main gangway has been placed directly oppo- site the door through which Prince Henry will land from the Kronprinz Wilhelm. He will cross the pier and board the Hohenzollern. % At the gangway he will be met by AG- miral von Baudissin, while the other officers of the yacht will stand at the sides of the gangway. Behind, on the decks of the boat, the crew will be drawn up and the ship’s-band will play a nation- al air as the Prince steps on the boat. The Marconi apparatus on the Hohen- zollern has been tested and found to be in good working, order. To-night the operator on board will begin to send mes- sages in the effort to locate the Prince’s ship. On board the Cunard liner the apparatus is also ready. Admiral Evans, Adjutant General Cor- bin and ~Assistant Secretary Hill, the President’s delegates, will board the Kronprinz Wilhelm at quarantine and will greet the Prince in the name of the Government. Crowds of citizens will be in waiting. Dinner by the Press. All arrangements have been completed for the dinner to be given by the Ameri- can press in honor of Prince Henry on Tuesday next, and Herman Ridder, who has charge of the preparations for this banquet, said to-day that the number of acceptances received from leading repre- sentatives of the newspaper world was very gratifying. The Irving Place Theater, where a gala performance is to be glven to-morrow evening, has been beautifully decorated, and orders have been given for the fes- tooning of the Prince’s box with “‘Ameri- can Beauty” roses. Heinrich Conreid, manager of the theater, has had a spe- cial entrance broken through the wall on the Fifteenth-street side of the theater, in order to permit the Prince to enter the royal box immediately on stepping from his carriage. The play selected for this performance is “Im Weissen Roesset,” a three-act comedy. This selection was made by request, as the Prince has thus far had no opportunity of hearing the play, owing to the fact that during the time when it was given in various cities of Germany he was in China. Everything has been made ready for the special opera performance to be given for the Prince. It is believed that this will be the most brilllant performance in the history of the Metropolitan Opera-house. On Sunday when Prince Henry visits the tomb of General Grant he will place two wreaths on the tomb, one from the Kaiser and the other.the Prince’s own tribute. Both wreaths will be composed of ““American Beauty” roses, lilles and orchids, and will have in the center a crown. In the Emperor's wreath will be worked in flowers the initials, “W. I. R.”” (William, Imperator, Rex). Police Much in Evidence. The pler at the foot of West Thirty- fourth street, where the Prince will land, has been made a special sub-police pre- cinct, with two captains, eight sergeants, ten roundsmen, fifty mounted policemen and 100 patrolmen. It is known as the Hohenzollern precinct. A Postal Telegraph office, with a direct wire_connection with the German cable, has been established on the dock at the foot of Thirty-fourth street for the ac- commodation of Prince Henry and his suite, who will thereby be in instant com- munication with Germany at all times. QUEENSTOWN, Feb. 21.—A wireless telegraph message was received at 3:30 p. m. from the Cunarder Lucania, thirty miles west of Fastnet. The Lucania re- ported that in latitude 45 9 north, longi- tude 35 16 west, she was in communication by the Marconi system with the North German Lloyd steamer Kronprinz Wil- helm and exchanged greetings with Prince Henry, who is on_ board. The* Kronprinz Wilhelm signaled “All well. BERLIN, Feb. 21.—The repeated a temps made from rival countries to give some sinister aspect to the visit of Ad- miral Prince Henry of Prussia to the United States create amusement and ridi- cule here. The latest is contained in a Figaro dispatch from London, represent- ing Emperor William as being displeased with the bearing of the American naval officers and that, therefore, he has given orders to make the visit as German- American as possible. The offielals here say this is absurdly false and that Ger- many, on the contrary, is delighted at ;lha attitude of the American naval of- cers. Fire Chief Is Dismissed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.—<For .more than six hours to-day the Senate had the Philippine tariff bill under discussion. Bate (D.) of Tennessee delivered a pre- pared speech in opposition to the pending measure. He was followed by Spooner (R.) of Wisconsin in a brilliant defense of the Republican attitude toward the Phil- ippine Islands. He became involved fre- quently in heated colloquies with mem- bers of the minority. He concluded with an appeal to Congress to stand by the policies of McKinley and Roosevelt. Tillman (D.) of South Carolina began a characteristic arraignment of the admin- istration in the Philippines, but had not concluded when the Senate adjourned. The House to-day passed the Indian ap- propriation bill. No amendments of im- portance were attached to it to-day. The latter part of the session was devoted to the comsideration of private claims bills, a number of which were passed. @ il @ WU TING FANG AND PHELAN, Continued From Page One. coolie again. “They are not like our race.

Did Uncle Sam not prevent the partition of your empire?"” ‘Wu ignored the question and his adver- sary took another tack: “The Chinese don’t assimilate.” “What does that mean?’ asked Wu. “I don’t know.” Phelan exclaimed: “They don't divest themselves of their Eastern ways.” ‘“‘Haven't?” was the rejoinder, and Wu looked down at his silken robes. ‘‘Wu has divested himself, hasn’t he?” “The Chinese is not voluntary immigra- tlon,” said Phelan, “They come here only to return. Highbinders bring them here for forty dollars per man. Highbinders have men in China for that purpose all the time. Isn’t that so, Mr. Wu?” The Minister admitted that it was. “‘But the tighter you make exclusion the more money goes to highbinders,” he added. Phelan said he took this to mean that | the more difficult it is made to get China-| men to the country the more the high- binders will charge to bring them here. “You should have consulted me before you made the bill. It is too stringent,” sald Wu. By this time the patrons of the hotel had crowded around the disputants, fill- ing corridors and listening eagerly ' to every word. Employes left their posts and swelled the crowd. The sound of the men’'s voices drew people from all parts of the lower floor. At last the hotel managers ordered the employes to clear the crowd in front of the office, and not permit it to assemble again. They did so, and the party in dispute moved away down the corridor, talking as they went. Phelan said to-night that before they parted the Minister said he would, co- cperate with the United States Govern- ment in excluding the lower class of Chi- nese labor, but that the diplomat con- tended this Government must be more liberal with the Chinese merchants and sckolars. As they were about to separate Phelan asked Wu if he knew Uncle George Brom- ley, the United States Consul at Tientsin. “Yes, I know him,” he replied. “I wish You were as good a man.” ‘Wu flung this as a parting shot: ‘“You konw about the subject, now that I have talked to you.” ‘‘He shook his fist in my face?

He said, however, that the facts in | the case had been reported to the Em- peror.

LONDON, Feb. 21.—The weekly reviews make the impending arrival of Prince Henry at New York the occasion of an- other chapter on the Spanish-American war controversy. The Spectator reviews at length the whole story of the diplo- matic exchanges, with a view of contro- verting what it terms *the distortion of the actual facts by the German press.” The paper disclaims any intention of attempting to mar the reception to be tendered Prince Henry, but declares that both Englishmen and Americans ‘“see through Germany's game’ and refuse tc be misled by the “inspiring” attempts to undermine their mutual friendship and understanding. **Asfact which will be written down by ‘the " historian,” says the Spectator, “is as well recognized to-day as it will ever be. That is that England used her influence, and the Americans know she used it, on the ide of the United Statesws against those who wished to take sides with Spain. test of the attitude toward America dur- irg ‘the war displayed by England and Germany respectively is found in the re- spective attitudes of the English and Ger- man squadrons toward Admiral Dewey in Manila Bay. The Germans nearly fired on the Americans. If they had done so the English would have acted on the American side.” The Outlook treats the matter lightly. It says that Emperor William “now, as in China, uses Prince Henry as a bait for tke German hook. Neither Prince Henry nor his astute brother, the Emperor, will evet succeed in weakening the substan- tlal grounds upon which Anglo-American co-cperation now rests.” In the same connection the Outlook ex- presses great satisfaction at Secretary Hay’s note to Russia and commends it as a strong document, “which gains adadi- tional force from its disposal of old-fash- ioned diplomacy.” The Saturday the Review, on other hand, pursued its customary anti-Ameri- | can course and roundly abuses the Gov- ernment for being drawn into a fresh “humiliating position,” and denominates the whole controver: as an ‘“interna- tional slanging match.” The Saturday Review declares that the disclosures blacken the memory of the late President McKinley, as they showed he followed Bismarck’'s policy without Bismarck's excuse, and that he willfully suppressed Spain's final capitulation in order to precipitate war, when he might manfully have stood out against the pop- ular clamor and secured peace.

Vincke says he fre- quently warned Schmidt that he must keep away from the girl, but notwith- standing the warning yesterday when the child was busy cooking the evening meal Schmidt sauntered into the kitchen, which is at the back of the saloon, and persist- ed, her parents say, in paying his ad- dresses to the little girl. Vincke ordered him out and he obeyed the command ot the girl's father. Later in the evenins he returned, however, at a time when the bar was being freely patronized.

At the hospital Schmidt sald that Vincke struck him on the face with a bottle as he entered the saloon. REFUSES TO PAY FEES TO OUTSIDE ARCHITECT Auditor Baehr Says Police Station Plans Should Have Been Drawn by City Employes. Auditor Baehr yesterday refused to audit a demand for $450 drawn in favor of Matthew O’Brien for the plans for the proposed new sub police station on Fourth street, near Clara. Baehr claims that the Architect’'s Bureau of the Board of Public Works should have drawn_ the glans and that the city should not have )een put to any additional expense there- for. Baehr says that salaries amounting to more than $300 monthly are paid to employes of the bureau named and the work should have been done by that office. Chief Architect Mooser explained to the Supervisors’ Finance Committee, to whom the bill was referred, that whein the bureau was organized under the last budget it was not intended that plans | should be drawn for any building of an eiaborate character. He therefore em- ployed O'Brien, whose charge for the ‘work was less than the regular architect's fees. Baehr says he will not sign the warrant, and says that O'Brien was re- cently paid the sum of $525 for drawing plans far three schoolhouses which should have ::en done hlz taa regular staff of smen employed by the Board of Pnblfc ‘Works.
