Show Xo Dls espect Otber Thaa Decline to Take Off Their Hats to Him. BERLIN, Jan. 26. Today passed -without any disrespect being shown to the Prince of Wales, who arrived here yes terday evening: to represent King Ed ward at the celebration of the anniversary of the birthday of Emperor William next Tuesday. German crowds have a too deeply abiding respect for royal person agea and are too thoroughly policed even to Jeer them. But In a city where the lifting of one's hat Is as universal as ordinary civility, It was singular to see the passing crowds with never a hat raised and to hear no murmurs of ap plause. I The last experience abroad or the Tince of Wales was his departure, amid thun derous cheers, from the shores of New foundland, while the streets through which the Prince was obliged to be driven today on his way to visit the British Am bassador were without one single British flag. While receiving the most elaborate at tentions from the iimlly of the. Emperor and from German ofllcialdom, the Prince of Wales must feel the chilling attitude of the German people. Almost all the newspapers refrain from editorial com ment on his visit. The Prince of Wales visited the Prussian Princes. Count Von Bulow, the Imperial Chancellor, the various Ambassadors and otber distinguished personages this morn ing. Soon after 1 o'clock. Emperor Wil liam and the Prince drove in a closed carriage to the barracks of the First Royal Dragoons, Queen Victoria's Own. The triumphal archway of evergreens had been erected In front of the porch of the barracks and the regiment was drawn up in parade order. The band played the British anthem. After the regiment had marched past, the Emperor and the Prince of Wales proceeded to the regi mental messroom, where luncheon was served. The party Included the British Ambassaror to Germany, Sir F. C. Las celles and his staff. Princes Albrecht and Wilhelm Eltel-Frederlch and Prince Henry of Prussia. The luncheon ter minated at 3 o'clock, when Emperor Wil liam returned to the castle and the Prince of Wales took a train for Potsdam, there to visit the Duchess of Albany and to lay a wTeath upon the tomb of the late Empress Frederick. In the evening Emperor William and the Empress gave a dinner party to the Prince of Wales in the Elizabeth Hall of the castle, at which the Bhltish Minister, Count Von Bulow and Count Von Waldersee were present. The National Zeltung concludes a page editorial on the friendship between the United States and Germany in these words: "The only object of the visit of Prince Henry to the United States is the cul tivation of this sentiment. The German Emperor could give the United States no better proof of the feelings and senti ments animating him and the German people, in regard to the greatness and development of the Union as a civilizing power, than by sending his brother there. Prince Henry goes, as it were, as the in terpreter of Germany's friendship for the United States. He la the first German Prince from the old reigning house who treads the soil of the great Republic, and undoubtedly his acquaintance with the most prominent men of the Union will exercise a beneficial effect on national relations. "The visit of Prince Henry must dis sipate all the foolish and malicious .as sertions of present antagonism between Germany and the United States, and of German plans of conquest in the Ameri can sphere of Influence, and Instead, thereof, strengthen and establish feelings of mutual recognition and equality of standing. No treaty of alliance between Germany and the United States is needed. Ever since the existence of the United States, peace, friendship and trade intercourse have prevailed between us. Prince Henry's trip phows that we wish to remain in the same relations in the future and the reception which the people, the Government and public opin ion are preparing for him on American soil will give splendid proof that the Americans cherish similar sentiments and hopes." No More Was Expected. LONDON. Jan. 26. Commenting upon the reception of the Prince of Wales In Berlin yesterday and the attentions shown him by Emperor William, the London papers confess it could not be expected that the Inhabitants should be effusive in their welcome, but are pleased to find that Emperor William was so cordial. They especially note his kindly reference to the British army. GERMAN PRESS IRRITATED. Think English Asltatlon of Spanish War Negotiations In for Purpose. BERLIN, Jan. 26. The German press throughout shows irritation over alleged British attempts to throw suspicion on the Jollcy entertained toward the United States by Germany before the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. Nearly all the German newspapers regard these al leged attempts in the same light as does the Deutsche Tages Zeltung. Dwelling upon the motives which actuated the in terpellation of Henry Norman In the Brit ish House of Commons January 20, that paper says: "In the London reports cabled to New York it Is alleged that Germany was the Instigator of a plan to bring about In tervention by the European powers against the United States. This is a dl Tect blow In the face of truth. But what of It? It might, perhaps, on the verge of- Prince Henry's visit, create 111 feeling In the United States, in which case the object -underlying Mr. Norman's interpel lation and the answer thereto of Lord Cranbourne, as well as that of the in ventions sent abroad by English news papers, would be fulfilled." ENGAGEMENT BROKEN OFF. Sybil Sanderson Will Not Marry 'Count de Fltzjames. PARIS, Jan. 26. A representative of the Associated Press today saw Miss Sybil Sanderson in connection with the state ment that her engagement to marry Count Henri de Fltzjames had been broken off. While Miss Sanderson confirmed this fact, 6he refused to give the reasons therefor and added that any statement of these reasons which may be published could only be unauthorized, untrue and unjust to both Count Fltzjames and herself. Count de Fltzjames refused to be seen. "Want a Bounty on Fish. ST. JOHN'S, N. F., Jan. 26. It is ar gued in some official quarters here that if the British Government is prepared to withdraw from the international sugar conference at Brussels and to provide a bounty on West Indian sugar, in order to assist Great Britain's West Indian col onies, which are inhabited by blacks. Great Britain should also provide a boun ty on Newfoundland fish and thereby as sist this colony, which is wholly. Inhabit ed by white people, principally Scotchmen and Irishmen and their descendents. It Is held by certain officials, that this action should be taken by the British Govern ment as a return for the renewal by Newfoundland of the French modus Vi vendi. John Hare's Tribute to America. LONDON, Jan. 26. The leaders of the theatrical profession were the guests of the O. P. Club, of London, at its annual dinner -tonight. John Hare, .the actor, in a speech referred to the "American Invasion," and he said he had pleasure in heartily welcoming- it and those bright and quick-witted men and women who "gave fresh life to this somewhat tired and blazed out country." He said he thought something was also owing to the American theatrical manager and that ho was glad to take this opportunity of denying that English actors and actresses return from America with their finesse dull and their methods coarse. Mt. Athos Monastery Burned. LONDON, Jan. 26. Telegraphing from Vienna, the correspondent of the Dally Chronicle says the newspapers of Athens report that the celebrated St. Paul monas tery on' Mount Athos, was burned last Thursday night.

FOREIGN MONEY MARKETS Berlin Bourse Dominated by the Trro Xeir Loans. BERLIN, Jan. 26. The Bourse during the past week was characterized by strength In all government fund Interest bearers. The tendency in Industrials was mixed, irons remaining strong, while coal shares and most of the other industrials lost several points. Coal shares were de pressed by the continued warm weather and the difficulty in disposing of the out put. The coal syndicate declared yester day that It is impossible to sell all the coal produced by the syndicate's mines, although the curtailment of the output is being rigidly enforced. The quotations on iron shares improved through further evidence that the business situation had bettered. The market was chiefly dominated dur ing the week by the two 3 per cent loans, amounting to 300,000,000 marks, in which there have alreay been immense trans actions. The market also showed great Interest in the mortgage bank obligations, and some foreign rentes attracted marked attention. Shares of the ocean transpor tation companies rallied strongly during the week upon the expectation that Herr Ballln, president of the Hamburg-American line, and Dr. Wiegand, of the North German Lloyd Steamship Company, will effect an advantageous arrangement in New York. American rails were again on the down ward movement. Kaffirs were steady, and great things are expected in these securi ties in the future. Money still remains steady, and It la impossible to place call loans at 1 per cent. The monthly settle ment passed very smoothly, and short in terest scarcely exists. London Stock Exchange. LONDON, Jan. 26. The Stock Exchange continued fairly active during the past week. The large oversubscription to the 2.000.000 In local loans indicated n lnriro supply of Investment money, while the general purcnases nave been upon a larger scalo than for some months past. The reduction In the bank rate of discount has helped the situation. Insuring the com paratively easy condition of the money market for some time to come. The predictors of the boom In home rail roads have been rather disappointed at the dividend announcements, and this sec tion of the market has been decidedly flat. But conservative critics point out that this may be taken as a good symp tom, since traffic has been good and the managers are devoting the resultant funds to Improvements Instead of to divi dends. American securities are very quiet, pending the settlement of the case of the Northern Securities Company. Mining se curities remain Arm. MARINE NEWS. Crcrr and Baa-Rase Saved From a Stranded Bark.

Bishop Coppin Tells of Conditions in South Afrlcn. 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 Fourteenth Episcopal. Diocese of the African Methodist Episcopal church in South Africa, returned by the same ship, arriving here today. He Is from Philadelphia, and was the first bishop sent out by the African Methodist Epis copal church to take charge of tile dio cese which lies .south of the Zambesi River and comprises two conferences, the South African and the Transvaal. "I found plenty of work awaiting me when I got out there," he said today. "The two conferences were mapped out, but were not organized, and only a start had been mado In their development. We. have between 40 and 50 churches estab lished, with more than 100 traveling min isters. We have recently bought a large building at Cape Town, where In Febru ary next we will open a school to prepare students for a collegiate course. We are also hoping soon to start Industrial and literary schools near Bloemfonteln, mod eled after the same general plan as the school at Tuskegee. "We are seriously handicapped in this project by the unsettled condition of the country on account of the war. There seems little hope of the war closing be fore long. You cannot conceive the con dition of affairs over there". The Boers are gradually being wiped off the earth. It Is no longer war, but a proccra of alow extermination. England will never listen to any arbitration proposition which means restoration of the republics 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 smallness of their numbers, keep thousands of soldiers In the field busy watching them and trying to head them off." Bishop Coppin goes from here to Phila delphia, where he will remain for dome two months. ' Boer Prisoners Escape. PRETORIA. Jan. 25. Colonel Wilson captured 20 Boers near Frankfort, In Or ange River Colony, last Saturday.

Commission That Revised Imperlnl Code Makes Its Report. ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 14. The com mission which has been revising the Im perial code during the last la years has made Us report to the Council of the Em pire. The new code. If adopted, will re place the code of 1SI5, and will, naturally, contain numerous vital changes. The most Important innovation will. It Is said, be found In the chapter on the moral re sponsibility of minors and the mentally defective. This chapter Is by Professor Tagansenff. The code, in its entirety, has been submitted to various foreign and domestic authorities, including Pro fessor Franz von Llszst, of Berlin, who is reported to have pronounced it nn ad vance on any codo now In existence. Ow ing to superior definition and classification of crimes, the new code will contain less than one-third as many crimes as the old code, which has 1711 paragraphs". Banishment by order of court Is abol ished altogether, various forms of Im prisonment being substituted. Emperor Nicholas II had already broken up banish ment to Siberia by order of court, but, owing to the lack of prisons, banishment could not be done away with altogether, and prisoners continued to be sent to Archangel and the Island of Saghallen. The Ministry of Justice has recently ex erted considerable efforts to provide the prisons needed, In order to permit the abandonment of banishment when the new code should be completed. While the action of the Emperor did not affect the banishment to Siberia of political sus pects by order of the police, it is not known that apy of the suspects relegated from the capitals last year were sent to Asiatic Russia. The new code will abolish capital punishment altogether. The old code had retained It for crimes against the imperial family, for treason and rebellion, and for evasion of quarantine. Of course, the new code will take cognizance of newly de fined crimes, such as blackmail. It will not make an ordinary strike a crime, but threatens .with higher penalties those cases of rioting and Injury to property or per son which may be found to have been occasioned by a strike. Arabs on the Warpath. ALGIERS, Jan. 25. A score of Arabs paraded through the Kasbah quarter of this city today, attacking passers-by with clubs and knives.

CLEVELAND, Jan. 26. At many of the churches of Cleveland, special McKlnley memorial services were held today. In some of the churches, where no special eervlces wero held, the life of the late President was eulogized by the ministers In preludes to their sermons and by in cidental mention. Special collections for the McKlnley memorial were also taken at many of the churches. At St. Paal. ST. PAUL, Jan. 26.

Memorial ser vices for the late President McKlnley were held pretty generally in the churches of the two cities. In most Instances, the services were deeply Impressive and In all of them the President's favorite hymn was sung. MAY LAY A CORNER-STONE Ceremony SBffgrested for Prince Henry's Visit to St. Louis. ST. LOUIS. JanTTs. In the event of Prince Henry -visiting St. Louis, his en tertainment will be arranged and con ducted by the World's Fair Company, rather than the municipal government. As yet, the World's Fair management has received no official advices as to exactly when Prince Henry will arrive in St. Louis and what the length of his visit will be. Secretary Walter Stevens said today that It had been suggested that if Prince Henry's stay here permits, he bo Invited to lay the corner-stone of one of the buildings on the World's Fair grounds. A thing of this kind is not at all uncom mon and It would mark an historical period In the building of the fair. "If the Prince would consent to partici pate In a ceremony of this kind," said Mr. Stevens, "there Is little doubt that de partment of works could have an Im portant building ready In time for his visit." BaHlnesn Men'M Luncheon. NEW YORK, Jan.. 26. It was an nounced tonight that Morris K. Jessup, J. Plerpont Morgan. Edward D. Adams, George F. Baker, John Claflln, Elbert H. Gary. L. M.

A Counter Demonstration. VIENNA, Jan. 26. The announcement that the heir presumptive to the Austrian throne. Archduke Franz Ferdinand, will go to St. Petersburg February 2 to pre sent himself to the Czar In his new ca pacity of a General of Russian Cavalry, is much commented upon In the light of the alleged weakening of the triple alli ance, which, it is supposed, led to Prince Henry's npproachlng visit to the United States and to the idea of a rapproche ment between Russia and Austria as a counter demonstration to Germany's ac tion. COMING WEEK IN CONGRESS tz -- v Senate Will Give It Attention to the Tariff Bill. 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 on It and upon the entire administration of Philip pine affairs 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 before the bill Is passed. Among those who will peak early are Senators Carmack, Money, Tel ler, Culberson, Turner, Patterson, Jones (Ark.) and Bacon. Senator Lodge will seek the earliest opportunity to have the amendments recommended by his commit tee formally adopted, but probably will not press these when Senators are pre pared 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 securing action on it during the week, if possible. The House Forecnxt. The House leaders have made no pro gramme for the work of the present week, as there are no measures of Impor tance pressing for attention, although the anti-oleomargarine bill and the Hill bill for the exchangabillty of gold and sliver are both on the calendar and may be taken up before long. Thus far no exact time has been fixed for either of these measures, and the lesser bills will take their chances as opportunity presents it self. There promises to be considerable time to snare during the week, as there are no appropriation bills ready to fill the gap when bills of a general nature are lacking. The chief Interest of the week centers in the opening of hearings by the ways and means committee on the reduc tion of war revenue taxes. The commit tee will give tomorrow to this subject hearing of the beer Interest in the morn ing, and the tea Interest In the afternoon. Tuesday the committee will return to the subject of Cuban reciprocity, hearing the reports on beet sugar, and also several Cuban planters who have come to the United States to present their view of the case. One of the members of the commit tee. Representative Long, of Kansas, left for his home yesterday to be gone a week, and this led to an understanding among the Republican members of the commit tee that no action on Cuban reciprocity would bo taken for a week. DO ANIMALS WEEP? Fameas Travelers Say They Do, and Give Some Instances. New York Press. Lady Burton says that she has seen horses In the Syrian desert cry from thirst, a mule cry from pain of an Injured foot, and a camel shed tears in streams. Gordon Cummlngs declares that he has ob served tears In the eyes of a dying ele phant, and Dr. Livingstone used to have a pet ape which cried when the explorer would not take It In his arms. "Wounded apes have died crying, and apes have went over the young ones slain by hunt ers. Sea lions are said to cry over the loss of their young, and a giraffe which had been injured by the rifle of a hunter began to cry. Another explorer tells of a chimpanzee which had been trained to carry water Jugs. It let one fall and break, and In its sorrow set a-crylng. There seems to be little doubt that ani mals do sometimes cry from pain, sorrow or annoyance, but, as a rule, we cannot catch the watch dog In tears, or the fam ily cat having a "good cry."

Secretary Long declined to say anything for publication regarding the conference. ONLY A QUESTION OF CURVES A XeTr Method of Solution of Liter ary Problem. Chicago Inter-Ocean. The Bacon-Shakespeare controversy Is epidemic again, this Ume In England, The form Is malignant, and John Bull has a bad case. One of the earliest vic tims was W. H. Mallock. So rapid Is the spread of the epidemic that the Lon don Times has been moved to prescribe a column editorial, warranted to kill Ba conian germs or cipher microbes or anything else. One Is really reminded of the good old days when our own Ig natius Donnelly was alive and ciphering and shedding contagion at every pore. It may be remarked In passing that the accession of Mr. Mallock to the Ba conian ranks means nothing more than that a scholar eccentric at best has cone wrong. Tho author of "The New Re public" and "Is Life Worth Living?" has gone wrong before,, as when he wrote "A Romance of the Nineteenth Century." The acclaim of the Baconians over his accession reminds one forcibly of the rejoicing In table-tipping circles when Luther R. Marsh fell a victim to the wiles of Ann O'Della Diss De Bar. Tho only really surprising feature of the situation Is that the Times relies on logic to prove its case against what it calls "half-educated fanatics, presuming on their Ignoranco of Shakespeare, on their Ignorance of Bacon, and on their lack of letters and scholarship." This course on the part of the Times simply affords another proof of how far Great Britain has fallen behind America in the mechanic arts. For a controversy of this kind la no longer a subject for the scholar and the critic and the logician. Science has changed all that. It Is now merely a question of mathematics and diagrams. Every author has his style and every style has its "word-curve." If you sus pect a writer of leading a dual liter ary life, all you have to do to run him down is to "get on to his curves." The process Is quite simple. This is how it Is done: First, catch your author. Then take 100.000 to 1,000.000 words of his composition and group them accord ing to the number of letters they con tain. Express the result In a diagram and you have "a graphic symbol for the persistent peculiarities of this particular writer In his use of words of different lengths." As soon as a working model of the new method was constructed It was steered against the Bacon-Shakespeare problem. But, alas! it was found that something like 2.000,000 words would have to bo classified. Everybody was en thusiastic, of course, but nobody felt Just like volunteering to take a genera tion oft and do the classifying. At this crisis in literary history, Mr. Augustus Hemlnway, of Boston, stepped to the front with the cold, hard cash. A large force of expert mechanics was imme diately set to work. Soon they were ready for the diagram experts. At last and it seemed ages the graphic sym bols were complete. And what did they show? They showed that Shakespeare used "You'll Never Take Cold" With Our i Turkish Bath Cabinet IN THE HOUSE Health insurance for 3 cents. A Turkish, Medi cated or Russian Bath in 15 minutes.

Bacon, on the contrary, was not a four-letter man, and the diagrams showed "extraordinary differences." This new method, then, settles every thing except this: Would Shakespeare's word-curve have been the same had he written prose, and would Bacon's have been the same had he written poetry? "When this trifling point Is settled to everybody's satisfaction, but one ques tion more remains to be answered to close the controversy: If Bacon wrote Shakespeare, who wrote Bacon?" WARSHIP MAY BE ASXED FOR Scotland Has Also Heard of Frenchmen's Complaints. .the Aberdeen Free Press. The masters of British mercantile ves sels who have had trouble at various ports with crimps and boarding masters will sympathize with an agitation which Is being provoked by French master mar iners and owners to protest against the treatment they receive In the Pacific ports of the United States. M. Schwob, the editor of the "Petit Phare," a shipping organ published at Nantes, says he has been favored with a duplicate of a pro test signed by the captains of eight Vrpnnh flailine vessels at Portland and Astoria, sent a month ago to the French Consul at San Francisco, In which they bitterly complain of the method used to induce the crews to desert. When a French vessel arrives at Port land, says the petition, certain agents of the Sailors' Home at once come alongside, and by alluring promises and the offer of a few dollars, accompanied with free drinks, the men are enticed to these homes, and the best men of the crew thus desert without any valid reason. Owing to the connivance of the shore author ities. It is impossible to have the men arrested. The boarding masters come on board the vessels and claim the men's effdets, threating If remonstrances are made to cause further desertions, and to enforce the maBters to pay very exorbi tant rates for the men they may have to sign on to fill up the vacancies caused by these desertions. The masters add that, after a few days, the Bailors come aqd beg to be token back. This they can only do by paying the boarding master an indemnity, which varies from $56 to $75. The men thus practically mortgage the total amount they will receive In wages for the return voyage before it has commenced. If any resistance is made to these demands the masters com plain that they ore insulted in the streets, and even in the French Consulate, with out being able to obtain any redress. The petitioners make certain charges against the French Consular authorities, and the "Phare," in Its comments, adds that cer tain owners are determined to bring the matter before the Minister of tho Marine, and, if necessary, ask for the dispatch of a war vessel to protect French citizens and to enforce respect of the maritime regulations. The "Phare" states that the campaign against these "white slaveowners" will be prosecuted vigorously, and It intimates that the British Government, which also has grounds for complaint, may move In the matter, and perhaps suggest Joint ac tion with France.

COMPETITION IS PASSING. President Hadley Thinks We Have Too Much Liberty. New York. At a religious meeting for students here, President Hadley, of Yale, In the course of an address on "The Mod ern VIow3 of Life's Purposes," said: "We are on the threshold of a reaction against the extreme liberty and individualism. Liberty, In business with a free competi tion, will encourage enterprise and pro tect the consumer, but we are coming to a time when competition is lost and com bination is taking its place. In politics, we are coming to the time when liberty leads to a compromise between conflicting self-Interests at the expense of the com munity. In morals we are coming to the time when liberty undermines the spirit of the gentleman and the Christian more surely and subtly than open vice. Tho people are coming to see this. When all Is sold something more than liberty la needed, and at this present day we are beginning to find this out. It la recog nized that liberty won't do everything that was expected of it once. Some persons want to go back to authority, but that is past. We must rely upon the develop ment within the individual of a sentiment identifying his welfare with that of the community.
