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

ously injured. The occupants of the

pers, and the monastery itself was dam

British-Canadian Trade.
LONDON, Jan. 26. Lord Strathcona
and Mount Royal, Canadian High Com
mission In London, had addressed let
ters to the press in which he call's atten
tion to the expanding trade between

pondence as to the best means of assist
ing this development by the dissemination
of commercial information.
Bright' Quarter Searched.
PARIS, Jan. 26, At the request of the
British Government, the police of this
city have searched the domicile here of

Sofia correspondent of the Dally Express

the director of the newspaper Svet, com
mitted suicide after his arrest In connec
tion with a series of thefts of postage

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.

EXTERMINATING THE BOERS.
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. '

REFORMS IN RUSSIAN LAW.
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.

ALGIERS, Jan. 25. A score of Arabs

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."

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."

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

more four-letter words than, any other
writer of his time or since. 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. The lesson of trusteeship Is
what we need and what I believe the world
is ready to accept as a principle;"
