PRINCE WILL BE BUSY
PLANS FOJl EXTERTAIXIXG HBXRY
OP PRUSSIA.
J Addition to the Launching and
Functions at the Capital, He
Will Vlj.it the West.
"vCASHINGTON, Jan. 17. The time of
the Cabinet meeting today was largely
occupied In the discussion of the formali
ties to be followed upon the occasion of
the visit of Prince Henry of Prussia. It
is the de.lre of the President to show
the Prince every honor befitting him aa
a. Prince of the royal blood, and as the
personal representative and kinsman of
the German Emperor. But at the same
time the programme Is to be aa simple
as possible. The programme as far as
agreed upon is as follows: Lpon the ar
rival of Prince Henry In New York he
will be met by a squadron under the
command of Rear-Admiral Evans, and
National ealutes of 21 guns will be fired
both by the warships and by the shore
Tjatterlcs.
It was decided that all arrangements
for Prince Henry's reception shall be
confided to a special committee composed
of Dr. David Jayne Hill, representing the
State Department: Major-General Henry
G. Corbln, representing the United States
Army; Rear-Admiral Robley D. Evans,
representing the Navy, and Count A.
von Quadt-Wyckradt-Isny. the counselor
and lh.t eecretary of the German Em
bassy. Colonel Theodore Bingham, of the
Engineer Corps, will assist General Cor
bln In the execution of the details, and
other Army officers will be detailed as
necessary.
Some embarrassment in the prepara
tion of plans Is caused by the fact that
the day following Prfnce Henry's arrival
at New York will be Sunday. It will
probably not be deemed well for the
Prince and his party to travel on Sunday,
hence he cannot i?tart for Washington on
that day to pay his virlt to President
Roosevelt, for the etiquette of such cere
monies requires the first call to be made
by the visitor.
"William Wallace Downey, a member of
the firm building Emperor William's
yacht, called at the White House today,
and after discussing with President Roose
velt the detail? of the approaching launch
ing, went to the State Department and
talked over details of the programme
with Assistant Secretary Hill, Admiral
Evans and Admiral Crowr.Inshleld. It
was decided that the launching shall oc
cur at 10:20 A. II.. February 25.
Two plan are under consideration for
the transportation of the Presidential
party to Shooters Island, where the yacht
is building. One Is to have the President
meet Prince Henry at the Battery, in
New York, where the party will board
a United States Government vessel, and
proceed down the bay to the island, nine
miles distant. Another Is 'to have the
President's car go over the B. & O. iRall
road as far as Newark Bay, where It
will be switched, onto the long trestle
and the party embarked on one of the
shipbuilding firm's boats. The shipyard
is only three-quarters of a mile distant
from this trestle.
Rear-Admiral Evans has been designat
ed as a special attendant upon the Prince,
besides being in charge of the naval dem
onstration. He has arranged to have the
escorting squadron under his command
meet the North German Lloyd steamer
Kronprinz Wllhelm at Tompkinsville, at
which point the Prince will be trans
ferred to the Hohenzollern, and the naval
procession will steam up the bay.
During the afternoon. Count Quadt came
to the State Department to see Dr. Hill,
and the. latter meanwhile having com
municated with General Corbln and the
local representatives of the railroad com
panies, some progress was made toward
arranging the programme. It was decide
ed that the members of the committee
on reception should proceed to Now York
In time to welcome the Prince on his ar
rival there, about noon, February 22. He
will probaply be brought to Washington
that night, arriving here Sunday morning,
and will rest quietly at the embassy that
day.
An effort is "being made to arrange mat
ters so that the Prince shall be present
at the capital when the Senate and House
meet on February 27, to hear Secretary
Hay deliver his memorial address in hon
or of the late President McKlnley. It is
possible that to secure this without im
posing too much travel upon the Prince,
a change may be made in the time set for
the launching.
There is little doubt that the Prince
will be able to accept some of the invi
tations tendered by various cities. The
committee here will arrange a programme
which will take the visitor as far West
as St. Louis, and it is possible that
Charleston will be included In the return
trip, as the Exposition authorities have
Tnade a strong plea for his presence there.
Niagara Falls may also be taken in on
the outward trip. The State Department
has been notified that the Prince's Amer
ican visit will last only 10 days In all, as
he will sail for Germany .March 8. Real
izing that the people will hope to enter
tain the Prince In other cities and must
have time for preparation, the commit
tee will use the cable freely In communi
cating with Prince Henry, and will an
nounce the details as fast as they are arranged.
the Emperor could not visit the United
States.
"He would like to," said Admiral von
Seckendorff, "but we cannot pare him
for so long a Journey now."
The Admiral was asked if it were pos
sible that the Emperor might visit the
United States at some future time.
"It would please him greatly," answered
Von Seckendorff. "And it Is not an im
possibility." Admiral von Seckendorff visited Nor
folk in 1SG0, on the Prussian warship Vic
toria, and was at San Francisco in 1872,
on the old German warship Hertha, which
since has been replaced by a new cruiser
of the same name. The old Hertha was
the first Imperial German warship to
visit the Pacific Coast. She went to San
Francisco, after leaving Japan. Von
Seckendorff has vivid recollections of San
Francisco and his fortnight's entertain
ment there.
Emperor William has ordered the Hoh
enzollern to be fitted out with all the
accessories used when His Majesty is on
board the yacht.
The Lokal Anzeiger today prints the
following:
"Emperor William has commissioned
Prince Henry to meet the prominent New
York yachtsmen and invite them to par
ticipate in the Kiel regattas, beginning
June 26. Prince Henry will also ask the
PrpRiflpnt to nermlt the United States
Mediterranean squadron to be present at
Kiel during the regatta week, so that
American seamen may participate in the
barge races. Prince Henry bears a valu
able present from Emperor William fo
Mlfs Roosevelt." i

Boer Prisoners Need Clothing.
BOSTON, Jan. 17. Rev. Dr. Edward Ev
erett Hale, president of the Lend-a-Hand
Society, which for months has been col
lecting and shipping clothing, food and
other things to the Boer prisoners In Ber
muda, recently sent his assistant, Rev.
W. S. Key, to visit the prlsonVamps and
report on the conditions. Mr. Key, who
has just returned, says he was permitted
to visit all the camps on six Islands and
to talk at will with the prisoners. There
are now about 5000 men and boys in the
at Springe, near Hanover, yesterday, in
which Von Bennigsen, the local Governor
of Springe, was probably fatally wound
ed by Falkenhagen, who is a large lessee
of crown lands.

General Andre Makes a Statement in
the Chamber of Deputies.
PARIS, Jan. 17. In the Chamber of
Deputies today, Cuneo D'Ornano Inter
pellated the government regarding alleged
violations of the military laws and regu
lations governing the promotion of offi
cers by General de Galllffet, the ex-Mln-lster
of War, and by General Andre, the
present Minister of War. The speaker
said that General Andre, by assuming the
sole right of promotion, had decried the
democratic idea of advancement and that
the officers had no confidence in the im
partiality of the Minister who is subject
to political influence.
General Andre elicited an outcry from
the Rightists and Centrists and cheers
from the Leftists by announcing that he
is preparing a bill providing for the ex
clusion of pupils of the schools of the
congregations from scholarships at the
military school. General Andre said he
took the system of promotion out of the
hands of the ex-army cc&nmlsslon and
assumed the task himself because the
commission is an irresponsible body,
whereas the Minister of War Is a respon
sible personage and the advancement of
officers is, therefore, in the hands of Par
liament. The Rightists and Centrists
warmly protested against this view. The
Chamber, by 80S to 214 votes, adopted a
resolution approving of General Andre's
declarations.
THE PRINCE'S SUITE.
Selection of Officers Made by Em
peror William.
BERLIN. Jan. 17. The Secretary of the
Imperial Artillery, Admiral von Tlrpltz,
and the chief of Emperor William's per
sonal military staff. General von Plessen,
nre to accompany Prince Henry of Prus
sia on the latter's visit to the United
States. The other members of the Prince's
suite, besides Vice-Admiral Baron von
Seckendorff and Adjutants von Schwlnd
and von Egidy, whose names have already
Bulte, besides Vice-Admiral Count von
tha, the Emperor's general ald-de-camp,
Captain von Mueller, Commander von
Grumme, who Is also an ald-de-camp of
the Emperor, and Staff Surgeon Reich.
His Majesty definitely made these selec
tions today.
Admiral von Seckendorff, in giving the
correspondent of the Associated Press
these names, added:
"The Emperor personally is making all
the arrangements that can be made on
this side. Details as to how Prince Henry
shail spend his time in the United States
are left to Secretary Hay and Dr. von
Holleben, but our general idea is this:
"We arrive on the Kron prinz Wllhelm
February 22, at New York. Prince Henry
will go on board the Hohenzollern and will
stay there until the launching of the Em
peror's new yacht, which we think will
probably be February 24. We go to
Washington to see the President and per
haps will stay there several days. Then
we make the most of the next few days,
in seeing other cities, returning to New
York for two more days before we sail
for home, on the Deutschland, March 8.
This general design, you see, fills up about
four weeks, one week in going each way
end a fortnight In the United States."
It was suggested to Admiral von Seck
endorff that two weeks was nqt enough
lor the Prince to see much of America,
and that he ought to spend a longer time
in the United States and go West and
South, to which the Admiral replied:
"It would be difficult for his royal high
ness to spend a much longer time there,
though the Deustchland's sailing can be
delayed a day or two if it seems desir
able. An Invitation from Chicago Is men
tioned, I see, but I am unable to say
whether it will be accepted. That will
be lefi to your people. Prince Henry elm
ply wishes to spend his time as those at
Washington may think to be to his 'best
advantage. He looks forward with keen
interest to the trip, and expects to get
pleasure and instruction out of it."
Hegret was expressed. at the fact that
The Unemployed in Berlin.
BERLIN, Jan. 17. Replying to an inter
pellation In the Reichstag today. Count
von Posadowsky-Wehner, Secretary of
State for the Interior, said that the best
statistics available showed that there
were not more than 7500 unemployed in
Berlin, their number having been kept
down by the efforts of the various federal
departments to provide them with work
whenever possible. The secretary assured
the Reichstag that the government hoped
that healthier conditions would be soon
created, so that country labor might again
prosper In the land. This statement from
Count von Posadowsky-Wehner was taken
as a direct bid for support for the govern
ment in connection with the tariff on
grain. The speaker further warned the
country against the danger of overpro
duction, and said that Germany would
soon be past the industrial crisis.
Germany's Foreign Trade.
BERLIN, Jan. 17. The official provin
cial estimates of the foreign trade of
Germany for 1901 gives the Imports at
5,267,000,000 marks, a decrease of 76,000,000
marks from the Imports of 1900. The same
authority gives the exports of 1901 at 4,
759,000.000 marks, which Is an increase of
7,000,000 marks over the exports for the
preceding year. The actual values of these
Imports and exports are much smaller
than the figures here given, insomuch as
the foregoing amounts are based on prices
of goods prevailing In 1900.

CHARLES B. HOPKINS.
Charles B. Hopkins, who has been recommended by the Washington Congres
sional delegation, aa United States Marshal for that state, left Portland for Walla
Walla yesterday. "I have received no word Of my proposed appointment as
United States Marshal." ald Mr. Hopkins, "but I have no doubt that the news
dispatch In The Oregonlan Is correct." Mr. Hopkins declined to make any further
statement for publication. It Is known, however, that he has kept In pretty close
touch with the situation at Washington City, and Is not at all surprised at his
selection. He has had the very warm support of Senator Foster, who evidently
desired his appointment above that of any other person for any other position.
Some time since the Senator publicly stated that if the President did. not heed
his recommendations as to the Marshalshlp, he would thereafter let the Wash
ington appointments take their, course. So he made a test case of the Hopkins
application, and he won out.

meeting was arranged, and Falkenhagen
fired at the count of "one." Von Bennig

sary. The Governor's aged father, Rudolph
von Bennigsen, one of the founders of the
National Liberal party and long noted as
a leader in the Reichstag, arrived on the
field soon after, accompanied by his sec
ond son, who is the Governor of German
New Guinea, and bore the wounded man

IX THH INTERESTS OF PEACE.
Object of the Dntch Premier's Visit
to London.
LONDON, Jan. 17. Reuter's Telegram
Company has received the following dis
patch from Amsterdam:
According to trustworthy Information
Dr..Kuyper, the Dutch Premier, recently
intimated to the Boer delegates the de
sirability. In view of Lord Rosebery's
speech at Chesterfield, of their giving
some Intimation to the British Govern
ment of the basis on which they would
entertain peace negotiations. Dr. Kuy
per pointed out the improbability of any
of the great powers intervening in South
Africa in the near future, and suggested
that he be allowed informally to sound hte
friends In London In the hope of a semi
official response. The Dutch Premier, ac
cordingly, met Abraham Fischer, the
leader of the Boer delegates, and others,
at Brussels, where a long conference was
held, after which Dr. Kuyper proceeded
to London. The result of his visit, if any
has been attained, is not yet known. It
is understood that Dr. Kuyper distinctly
assured the Boers that Holland, under no
circumstances would act as an intermedi
ary'. Dr. Leyds, the representative In Eu
ropo of the Transvaal, is expected shortly
at The Hague.
The Amsterdam correspondent of the
Daily Mall says it Is definitely known that
the recent visit to London of the Dutch
Premier resulted directly from Mr. Kruger
and the Boer delegates having been per
suaded officially to waive their claim for
independence, pending approval by the
Boers who are still fighting. A prominent
gathering of Boers has been arranged for
tomorrow at The Hague, at which It may
be decided to make tentative overtures
for peace.
Trial of Dr. Krause.
LONDON, Jan. 17. The trial of Dr.
Krause, the ex-Governor of Johannes
burg, on the charge of inciting Cornelius
Broecksman, the public prosecutor of Jo
hannesburg, to murder John Douglas Fos
ter, an English lawyer, who was on the
staff of Lord Roberts, opened at the Old
Bailey today. If the prisoner and his
friends had been suspected of a design
to explode dynamite in the court the pre
cautions against the admission of unau
thorized persons could not have been more
stringent. Every one was closely scru
tinized and compelled to produce a card of
admission.
The prisoner pleaded not guilty and the
solicitor-general, Sir Edward Henry Car
son, proceeded to detail the facts already
testified to In the police court.
Broecksman, whom Dr. Krause Is al
leged to have Incited to the murder of
Foster, was executed by the British In
South Africa.
In the course of (he examination of the
press censor of Johannesburg, It trans
pired that the postofflce officials there
were In the habit of ,sending to the censor
all letters addressed to the United States
Consul, Mr. Gordon. The Lord Chief
Justice asked If such letters would be
subject to censorship. On being In
formed that he was not bound to reply,
the censor declined to answer the ques
lon. The evidence In the case was
wholly a repetition of the facts previous
ly cabled. The defense submitted that
no statuory offense had been committed,
as there was no evidence that Brock-
British High Commissioner, and. Lord
Kitchener, as to the causes of the ex
cessive death rate in the camps and refu
tations of the charges of cruelty. Lord
Kitchener emphatically denies Comman
dant Schalkburger's allegations of forcible
removal and exposure of pregnant women
and of rough and cruel treatment of wom
en and children and says:
"I offered Botha to leave the families
and relatives of fighting burghers in un
disturbed possession of their farms If
Botha would agree to spare the farms of
the families of surrendered burghers.
Botha emphatically refused, saying, 'I am
entitled .to force every man to join, and
If they do not join to confiscate their
property and leave their families on the
veldt.' "
The blue book gives statistics for the
month of December last, when there were
117,017 inmates in the camps and 230
deaths, of which number HS7 were child
ren. Recruits for Boers.
LONDON, Jan. 17. A dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph Company from Buda
pest says that Baron Paul Bouravllnls,
who has served with the Boers, and Baron
Tursens will leave Budapest In Febru
ary with a strong body of recruits for the
Transvaal.
fight six rounds before the Industrial Ath
letlc Club for the championship of Ire
land, at the Industrial Hall tonight, were
stopped by Referee Rocap In the middle
of the third round of one of the poor
est exhibitions ever given in this city.
The men had been arrested early In the
evening and bound over in $5000 bail to
keep the peace, and this dampened their
vigor and reduced the steam of their
blows. There was not a blow struck
which would have rocked a bantam's
head. WTien the bout had progressed for
two and a half rounds amid Incessant cat
calls, hisses and yells of "take them off'
and "fake," .Referee Rocap stepped to
the side of the ring and said he had been
engaged to referee a contest. "This 13 no
contest," said he, and the men took their
corners and the contest was over. Both
Sharkey and the president of the club atr
tempted to address the angry crowd, but
neither was permitted to speak. The spec
tators were worked up to such a pitch
that they broke chairs and benches in
their desire to get even. It was little sat
isfaction for the 4000 persons who had
paid $2, ?3 and ?5 for seats. Jeffries and
Fitzsimmons occupied seats near the ring.
The fight by rounds:
Round 1 The men sparred for a few
seconds, Sharkey being the first to lead.
Maher rushed to a clinch. It was evident
that they intended to obey the mandate
of the court, for they merely tapped each
other. There were loud cries of "take
them off" and many of the spectators
started to leave the building. There was
not a blow In the first round hard enough
to jar the teeth of a feather-weight. When
the men took their corners the hall rang
with hisses and cries, "take them off" and
"fake."
Round 2 After, fiddling for a moment,
Maher put a light left on Sharkey's stom
ach and they clinched. Sharkey slapped
Maher on the face with the open glove
and the two men wrestled over the ring.
Sharkey led with his right and Maher
ducked into a light left uppercut. The
men continued their love taps and the
spectators continued, to hiss. Sharkey
landed a light left and Maher countered
with a good stiff right over the heart.
Sharkey landed his open glovo on Maher's
face, but the blow was not hard enough
to shake Peter's head. They were danc
ing around the ring when the gong
sounded.
Round 3 Sharkey led for the wind but
fell short and Peter tapped him on the
face. Peter landed a light right on Shar-
key's ribs and received a gentle tap on
tho back of the neck as he ducked. Maher
led for the head and the men clinched
and wrestled. Sharkey tapped Maher on
the head and got a light blow on tho
stomach In return.
In the middle of the round Referee Ro
cap walked to the side of the ring and
said: "Gentlemen, I was asked to referee
a contest; this Is no contest."
The men took their corners and Sharkey
attempted to make a speech, but the
crowd was so boisterous that his words
were lost among the catcalls and hisses.
The contest was then abandoned.
Sharkey. Maher and James H. McFar
land, an official of the Industrial Athletic
Club, were arrested late this afternoon
on warrants charging them with conspir
acy to commit a breach of the peace.
They were held In $5000 to keep tho peace
and appear In court tomorrow morning.
Ball was furnished. The warrants were
sworn out by J. D. Barnltz, a citizen
who. It Is understood, represented the
Law and Order Society, of this city. More
than a dozen witnesses were subpenaed,
most .of them, the sporting writers on
Philadelphia and New York newspapers.
About half a dozen witnesses were ex
amined and the Magistrate considered
that sufficient evidence was elicited to
warrant him In holding the prisoners.
The men promised that there would be no
knock-out, no violence and no infraction
of the state laws regarding prize-fights,
and that they would engage only In a
sparring contest. This promise was ac
cepted by the . Magistrate, and the ball
was fixed at $5000 for the three men. ThB
Magistrate stated that If the men lived
up to the promise, they would be dis
charged on their appearance in court to
morrow morning.

CHICAGO, Jan. 17. The latest move in
the baseball field Is said to be a new
league with A. G. Spalding as Its official
head. It Is stated that if Chris Dreyfus
decides to transfer the Pittsburg Club
from the National to the American,
Spalding will undoubtedly organize a
new league and that Now York will not
be included in the circuit. Spalding, with
the aid of Hart, Reach and Rogers, ac
cording to the programme, will organize

For a LonR Time It Seemed That
Good Fortune Would Not Come
An Apparent Trifle BrouRht
It Abont.
As with many other women, fortune
lingered a long while before coming to
Mrs. Knowles. But finally a trifling oc
currence brought It to her. Mrs. George
M. Knowles lives at No. 16 North street,
Portland, Me., and when a reporter vis
ited her to learn the facts of the case,
she said:
"For a year and a half I suffered
tortures from, rheumatism. When I arose
In the morning or when I got up to walk
after I had been sitting down for a
while, my Joints became stiff and I could
not move easily as I did before the
rheumatism set In. My feet ached and
I could not walk without limping for
some minutes after I started out. It
was very painful and interfered a great
deal with my household duties."
"How did you succeed In becoming
cured?" asked the newspaper man.
"It was one of those apparently Ilttlo
things that brought it about," replied
Mrs. Knowles, with a smile. "I had
been suffering In this way for a year and
n half when one day I happened to pick
up the paper and to see an advertisement
of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple. I made up my mind to try them.
When I had taken one box I felt better
and after I had taken the pills for about
two months ail the pain wag gone. This
was a year ago, and the rheumatism ha3
not troubled me since."
The above statement of Mrs. Knowles
was sworn to at the reporter's request
before Marshall H. Purrlngton, notary
public, at Portland, and published In the
Express, a reliable newspaper of that
city.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple will not only cure cases similar to
that of Mrs. Knowles', but, containing as
they do, all tho elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood

The Distinctive Value
of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from every
objectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and truly
as-a laxative, without in any way disturbing the natural functions. The
requisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for its
production enable the California Fig Syrup Co. to supply the general demand
for a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in its
effects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in a
naturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them.
To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the
medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup
of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not
weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con
dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its many
excellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring a
laxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid,
or the robust man.
Syrup of Figs is well known to be a combination of the laxative principles
of plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and the
juice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system,
when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality pi 'Syrup of Figs is due not
only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of
manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is
therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note
the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front
of every package.
