MANILA, P. I. Special Correspond
encesThe undeveloped timber resources
of the Philippine Islands are todayper
haps attracting the attention of nearly as
many invettors with capital to exploit
them and as many young men who have
visions of future wealth as did the gold
excitement of the Klondike. People hail
ing frqm all quarters of the globe are
arriving at Manila by every steamer. The
greater majority of them come to look
over the field with an eye to business in
general, and the lumber Industry In sar
tlcular. Tho American transports probably leave
the most hopeful of the new arrivals, and
these are generally school teachers or
nurses, who have obtained passage under
contract to serve a certain length of time.
The lady contingent Is hopeful for future
husbands; the young men possessed of
energy, great expectations and a deter
mination to break all records In their ap
plication of Horace Greely's advice. Let
us hope that the ladles will all secure
husbands, but how well the young men
may succeed in the pursuit of some avoca
tion after he has served his time, whether
he adopts agriculture, business or falls
back on some mechanical trade or pro
fession, it Is almost certain that lumber
ing is the last thing that will attract
him under the conditions, as they now
exist. As in all countries where new en
terprises are being inaugurated, the man
with capital has the great advantage,
although there are many instances of men
who came to Manila with little money and
who have accumulated considerable
wealth during the occupation, and while
the city was under military rule, through
legitimate trade and otherwise.
Much Valuable Timber.
There are in the Philippines as many
X'aluable and different varieties of timber
as are to be found in any of the tropical
Islands or foreign possessions. The choic
est varieties would command high prices
in the United States for use in the fine
arts, for manufacture of furniture, pianos,
veneering and for inside finishing of rail
way cars, etc This handsome timber
available, and the practically unlimited
demand for home consumption, makes a
very attractive field, and there is no doubt
of good returns for those large companies
which have been able to get in on the
ground floor and already control large
tracts of old Spanish land grants, or which
secured concessions before the passage or
the Spooner bill. This bill prohibited the
granting of any more concessions or fran
chises by the Government and companies
now operating under concessions or land
grants have a great advantage over those
seeking to enter the field, although any
public land unoccupied may be logged over
by conforming to certain rules and regula
tions governing the utilization of the for
est products.
These regulations were promulgated by
the United States military governor in
June, 1900, and were made up. with some
modification, from the old Spanish laws.
Under these regulations, any person can
Becure. by application through the Forest
ry Bureau, a license without cost, to cut
timber from the public lands, by payment
of one to 14 cents per cubic foot, accord
ing to the relative value of the different
woods. Licenses may also be secured for
the harvesting of gum elastic, gutta per
cha, gum mastic, resin and other prod
ucts of the forest and Jungle. These li
censes expire in one year from date, but
will be renewed upon proper application.
Hard Country to Log In.
If the timber could be as easily logged
as that of the Oregon forests, the man
of moderate means could undertake op
erations with reasonable assurance of
success, and handsome solid mahogany
furniture would soon be seen in your
drawing-rooms, but it Is not eo, and one
concern which controls large forests has
spent over a year In preparation, and has
not yet marketed a stick of timber. As
Jt is now, the Chinamen and others oper
ating under licenses will soon be obliged
lo compete with the steam power and
modern machinery of these new com
panies, and the increased supply from
these sources will have a tendency to
lower the price to an unprofitable margin
for the small operators.
There are many difficulties to be over
come which make operations exceedingly
expensive, and some of the problems for
successful prosecution remain as yet
unsolved. Labor, tho primary and most
Important factor, must be recruited from
two classes Chinese or natives. The Chi
nese are the better laborers. There is
now a tax of $S0 per head on all Chinese
brought here, and the available ones .are
strongly . opposed to going into the prov
inces on account of fear of bolomen. The
native coolies are poor workers, and while
willing to lend their presence until they
earn enough to attend a cockfight, at no
time can they be depended on. They sim
ply cannot adapt themselves to new meth
ods and will not learn, and the best
among them are expensive even at the
low wage of one peso, or EO cents, gold,
per day. ,
Finest Woods Will Not Float.
There are other matters to contend with
which are not figured on in the States.
Tho most desirable and valuable timber
will not float, and such logs are conse
quently heavy and difficult to transport.
These trees of Immense slse are encoun
tered in the thickest Jungle, necessitating
me lemng oi smaller trees and dense un
dergrowth. The valuable trees are scat
tered, several varieties being found on a
single acre, and there are no forests of
any one variety, so that to furnish a
cargo of a particular timber, a lumber
man would be obliged to go over a vast
territory to secure It. The country Is
badly lacking In roads, and such water
ways as might be utilized would first have
to be improved at great expense. There
are no landings where 6ca-going vessels
can load. All present traffic is carried on
by means of lighters, and this alone is
enough to discourage any but a large and
wealthy organization.
A first-class outfit Is essential for ulti
mate success, as it Is too far from mar
ket to take any chances. Docks must
bo constructed, roads opened up, and
all modern appliances furnished. Ma
chinists, expert loggers, and other skilled
laborers who are willing to brave the
dangers of fever must be secured, and
a full stock of materials, tools, etc, sup
plied. With good roads, mules, portable
railways, powerful steam or electric ap
pliances, and careful supervision, the
American lumberman will eventually find!
great wealth in the forests, as "the Gov
ernment will sooner or later offer more
Inducements for their development.
Before outfitting, the conditions should
be carefully Investigated by a thorough
ly practical man, as there are many diffi
culties fo be overcome, which have al
ready paralyzed several companies which
were not fully prepared or Improperly
equipped.
Great Demand for Lamher.
"With the occupation of the Islands by
the Americans, construction at once took
on an activity never before known, and,
owing to the great demand for Govern
ment work, the price of lumber, has
steadily advanced to double, and In
some instances treble, that previously
paid. All through the Orient, Philippine
lumber suitable for boatbuilding Is large
ly sought, and large quantities are an
nually furnished to Hong Kong ship
builders. Present prices vary from 60
cents to $3 or 54 per cubic foot, accord
ing to quality. Extra fine specimens of
mahogany frequently bring fabulous
prices. One beautiful piece, 10 by 4 feet,
about V& inches thick, and Intended for
a table top, Is held at .533). A single
stick, seven feet square and 34 feet long,
Is being negotiated for by the forestry
bureau, with a view to placing It In the
St. Louis Exposition. This single tim
ber is valued at 57000. The supply of
native lumber Is not equal to the de
mand, as the immense piles of Oregon
timber at the different yards and places
where Government Improvements are go
ing on will attest. There is scarcely a
day but what some ship is discharging
lumber from the North Pacific Coast,
and at the present prices for native lum
ber this will continue for some time to
come.
The forest lends of the Philippines com
prise one-fourth to on-half of the area
of the islands, viz.. 20.0Q0.C03 to 40,000,000
acres. There are fully 5,000,000 acres of
virgin forests in the Islands of Mlndora
and Pa?agua. The Island of Mindanao Is
almost entirely covered with timber, there
being but a small percentage of culti
vated land. There are 'about 700 native
tree species now listed, the majority being
hard woods. Of these there are 11 species
of oak. several of pine, 17 die woods, ebo
ny, teak, mahogany, camphor and sandal
wood. Most of the other species arc un
familiar to the English-speaking race.
There are a great many valuable gum
trees, but In the preparation of the rubber
product of the Philippines It has been
adulterated by the Chinese to such an ex
tent that the industry has been practically
ruined. Southern Pasagua and Mindanao
are celebrated for the variety of their
gum, rubber and gutta percha trees,
which forests have never been properly
exploited. This would seemingly afford a
very lucrath'e and extensive field for
scientific operation.
Pays to liaise VlaBsr-Ylansrn.
The ylong-ylang tree flourishes in nearly
all of the Islands and produces In about
three to four years. From the blossoms
of this tree a valuable oil Is distilled which
is used in the manufacture of perfumes.
The annual revenue from a single tree, if
figures of other people can be depended
on, would pay a week's board at a first
class hotel. Comment Is unnecessary, but
a well-appointed ylang-ylang forest with
approved methods of cultivation might in
crease the revenue of a Ingle tree to the
price of a month's board. Cocoanut and
other palms grow to an Immense size.
The west coast of the Island of Rom
blon is a mass of cocoanut trees from the
water's edge to the mountain tops, and
every tree brings in a yearly profit of 51
to 52. "When it 1b realized that several
hundred of these trees will grow on an
acre of ground something of the value of
a coacoanut grove may be obtained.

Life Baft Sighted Flftcea Miles Oft
Cape Beale.
PORT TOWNSEND, -Wash., March 2.
"What is thought to be a life raft from
the British warship Condor was sighted
last Friday by the schooner B. K. "Wood,
15 miles off Cape Beale, on the west end
of Vancouver Island. According to the
captain of the "Wood, the life raft was
painted white, and was larger than those
usually carried on merchant vessels. It
had the appearance cf having been In the
water some time, as seagrowth had be
gun to accumulate on it. The weather
was quite stormy, or the Wood would
have picked up the raft.
The schooner reports that last Tues
day, the day previous to the big storm
off the California coast, a lone mariner
was spoken 75 miles off Cape Mendinco,
in a seven-ton sloop. In the sloop was
only one man and a dog. When asked
where he was bound, he replied: "Puget
Sound." Next day after speaking the
lone mariner the storm came -up, and It
Is the opinion of the captain of the Wood
that it was Impossible for the sloop to
weather the atorm, and in all probability
the little craft, with .its occupants, went
to the bottom.
Shipvrrecked Crew Rescaed.
FALM BEACH, Fla., March 2. A party
of shipwrecked sailors was -landed at
Palm Beach today from the steamer El
CId, which picked them up yesterday
about 200 miles east of Savannah. They
were Captain A. Brown, First Mate Mar
tin and a crew of eight of the schooner
B. R. Woodslde, bound from Ferdlnandlna
to Porto Rico, with a cargo of lumber.
Lost Wednesday a heavy gale- from the
northeast sprang up. The schooner was
blown out of her course and labored in
the heavy seas until she sprang a leak,
settling and becoming water-logged. The
officers and crew finally lashed themselves
to the afterdeck-house and remained there
with ma-ay seas breaking over them for
three days, when their signals were seen
by the El CId. The schooner was going
to pieces when the men were taken off.

THROUGH THE SOUTH
(Continued from First Page.)
traced out the feint to deceive Bragg.'
brought It up to the command of Grant
and then graphically told the story of
Chlckamauga and the assaults on Mis
sionary Ridge and Lookout Mountain.
Prince Henry followed the recital with
the keenest Interest, and with map be
fore him studied out the strategy and
asked numerous questions, and at his
right his aide, Commander von Egidy,
noted down figures as to the number of
men engaged, the., losses on cither side,
and other information as to the battles
and campaign.
As Prince Henry stood at Rock Point
and looked across the Valley of the Ten
nessee, he exclaimed: "This Is magnifi
cent. There Is nothing In all Europe that
Is finer. I have never accn such a bat
tlefield." In'a Show SqhrII.
"While the party was at Rock Point a
snow squall blew up, and the picture
changed In n moment. Dark clouds of the
storm rolled In around the peaks,
the sky blackened, anjl snow began fall
ing. Through the storm the recital went
on, and the young Prince and gray-haired
veteran, who talked of a dny nearly 40
years ago, and the uniformed staff
standing about made an Impressive group..
The party was photographed at the peak
and one of the photographers, a local
man, was sharply rebuWd by the Prince, j
The photographer did not like the way
the Prince stood, and In rather loud tones
repeatedly asked him o change. The
Prince changed positions several times,
but finally said: "I have changed tiv
times, I think. You will take me rlgnt
here If you care to. You have had sev
eral photographs already." Later the
Prince to.d one of the delegates that he
was very sorry he had shown any spirit, j
dui ne was assured inai ne naa ampie
cause to be annoyed, and that there was
no reason for either regret or apology.
The Prince returned to the city by the
electric line, over which he had gone to
the mountain, and at the depot, under
guard of mounted policemen, took a car
riage for a short drive through the city.
He returned to the depot at 10 o'clock,
where the local committee, Newell San
ders as spokesman, presented him with a
silver-bound album, the gift of the citi
zens of the city. The outer cover of the
album bore a finely executed relief model
in silver, showing the battlefields. The
Prince, In accepting It, said: "I thank you
very much for this beautiful souvenir. I
shall keep it always as a remembrance of
my day here In this Interesting historic
locality. Please accept my thanks and
extend them to the citizens."
The Prince boarded his train at once,
at 10:30. To cheers, the special departed.
The Prince Invited General Boynton and
Commissioner Evans to accompany him
to Nashville, and they were his guests at
luncheon. The others at the table were
Admiral Evans, Admiral Tirpltx, General
von Plessen and Lieutenant-Commarider
von Egidy. At the table the Prince
again expressed his pleasure at having
seen Lookout Mountain and the battle
fields, nnd thanked General Boynton for
his attention.
Naval Officer Lost His Svrord.
At Chattanooga Lieutenant-Commander
von Gramme lost his small sword. It
was a handsome weapon, and the local
police were asked to search for K. It
was thought that it was left somewhere
rather than lost.
Prince Henry addressed a telegram to
Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Mills, accepting an
Invitation to breakfast with them at their
home In New York next Saturday.
The Prince had a day of sightseeing,
and when not otherwise engaged kept up
an animated amount of questioning and
comment with Admiral Evans and thdso
around him. His reception at Bowling
Green pleased him fully as much as the
larger ones. Judge Slmms, a venerable
citizen, mounted the rear platform of the
Columbia, and in the name of Kentucky
presented the Prince with some old peach
brandy and some whisky. The Prince
gravely accepted the gift, and faithfully
promised the Judge that he would drink
some or it when he got thirsty. It was a
sentiment that pleased the Judge and his
fellow-citizens, and they cheered him as
he passed on to the moving train.
HEARD NEGRO MELODIES.
Featare of the Entertainment Of
fered at Nashville.
NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 2. Prince
Henry spent 15 minutes In Nashville this
afternoon, arriving over the Nashville,
Chattanooga & St. Louis Road at 2:30
o'clock, arid departing over the Louis
ville &. Nashville for Louisville at 2:45.
Ten thousand or more men, women and
Children crowded the Union Station and
railroad yards for a sight of the royal vis
itor and accorded him a most cordial re
ception. The Prince did not leave his
car, but from the back platform smiled his
acknowledgement of tbe demonstration in
his honor. He made no speech, a hearty
"Thank you, thank you," being in sub
stance his reply to the welcoming address
of Mayor J. M. Head.
During the stop here the desire ex
pressed by the Prlnco to hear some of
the old plantation negro songs of the
South was gratified, the negro Jublleo
singers from Flsk University singing three
of these tuneful melodies, to tho mani
fest enjoyment of the Prince. One of the
singers was a member of the organization
when It made a tour of Europe some years
ago, nnd, having been told this. Prlnco
Henrj't after the first Bong, reached over
and shook hands with her, making refer
ence to the visit to Berlin.
During the rendition of the songs his
highness asked Governor McMlJUn what
their purport was.
"They are revival songs," replied the
Governor.
"What are revival songs?" queried the
Prince, and the Governor entered into a
few explanatory remarks concerning the
old-time negro and his plcturesquo re
ligious faith and customs.
"Welcome to the Visitor.
A large committee of distinguished cit
izens, state, city and county officials,
headed by Governor McMUHn and Mayor
James M. Head, was on hand formally to
welcome the royal visitor. As the spe
cial pulled in a band struck up, but
the loud cheers of the crowd almost
drowned Its notes. The Prince appeared,
touching his cap in recognition, and the
special boarded the car. After the usual
formalities. Mayor Head delivered his
welcoming speech, during which he pre
sented a hickory cane cut from the "Her
mitage," Andrew Jackson's old home. The
cane Is silver mounted. On the top of
the handle Is engraved a front view of
the "Hermitage" and lower " down this
inscription: "Presented to His Royaf
Highness, Prince Henry of Prussia, as a
souvenir from tho Hermitage, the home
of Andrew Jackson, Nashville, Tenn.,
March 2, 1902." A handsome floral design
was also presented on behalf of the German-American
Society of Nashville. In
addltlorv. the Mayor's address, enrolled
on parchment, was presented as a sou
venir. It Is illustrated In the German
colors, bears the German, seal in one
corner and that of the United States In
another, the whole surmounted by the
German standard and the United States
flag intertwined.
The Prlnco said but a few words In re
ply, expressing himself as highly grat
ified over his reception. He said he re
gretted that he could not meet and shake
hands with all the people and asked the
Mayor to thank them for him. Tho
musical programme followed and prompt
ly on schedule time the train pulled out
for Louisville, the Prince and other mem
bers of the party standing on the back
platform.
The Mayor's Address.
Mayor Head's address of welcome was
as follows:
"Your Royal Highness: As Mayor of
the capital of Tennessee, I am glad to
welcome you, sir, as tho representative
of one of the great nations of the world
to our city. We regret that you cannot
L extwH 7ur rit wfiafcotly Wp to en
able you to see something of what the ge
nius of our people has wrought In a little
more than a century in this section of our
common country. We accept this visit as a
token of the good feeling existing between
the representatives of your government
and ours. The time has -come In the his
tory of the civilization, of the world when
nations, like Individuals, must be consid
erate of the rights of others. Time and
distance, when compared with conditions
as they existed 1C0 years ago, have prac
tically been annihilated and nations are
now more closely bound together than
were the early settlers upon our frontier
when this Government was founded. A
little more than two weeks ago you set
sail from the fatherland, and today you
are In the very "heart of this great Repub
lic. "We welcome you, sir, as the represen
tative of that nation which has given so
many substantial citizens to our commun
ity whose sterling Integrity and exalted
patriotism have endeared them to those
with whom their lot has been cast.
Earnestness of purpose and determination
to succeed are the well-recognized charac
teristics of the German-American citizen.
"In the early days of our Republic
there lived near this city a man who has
left the Impress of his genius Indelibly
stamped upon tho history of the wond.
On January S, 1S15, at New Orleans, with
less than G00O .untrained riflemen, he de
stroyed the flower of the British Army
under Packlnghcm, killed Its commander
and more men than were actually engaged
In tho battle on the American side, and
established forever the right of .those
United States to take their place among
the nations of the world. All that is
mortal of that soldier, statesman and
patriot, Andrew Jackson, sleeps peacefully
at his old home, 'The Hermitage," near
this spot, tenderly cared for by patriotic
women, whose honor he was ever ready
to risk his life to defend. We have,
sir, within the past week, had cut from
near that tomb this cane, which we de
sire to present to you In all Its natural
simplicity as a souvenir tj-pical of the
life and character of that great man.
You will And that his Iron will, indomit
able energy and his Influence upon, tho
destiny of this Nation bear a strong re
semblance to that of your illustrious kins
man, the great Frederick, In laying the
foundation of the present German Em
pire, which your grandfather, William,
succeeded in building and binding to
gether. We present to you, sir, this
simple souvenir from the tomb of Andrew
Jackson the typical American citizen, sol
dier, statesman and patriot.
"I am also requested, on behalf of the
German-American Society of the city, to
present to you this beautiful floral de
sign as a simple expression of the sweet
memories they yet retain for the dear old
fatherland, and as your highness has ex
pressed a desire to hear some of those old
negro melodies, the memories of which
still linger around the old plantation quar
ters, but which are fast passing away and
which delighted you when a child, wo
have arranged for the Jubilee singers, un
der the leadership of Mr. Moore, who con
ducted their successful tour over the Con
tinent, and who received such marked
consideration, to again -render for you
some of those same songfe which never
grow old with us and which seem to have
charmed your royal highness."

KENTUCKY'S WARM WELCOME.
Thoasaads Tarned Oat at Loalsville
to Greet the Prince.
LOUISVILLE, March 2. Prince Henry
reached Louisville at 7:45 o'clock tonight
and heard an address of welcome, received
an album and engrossed address, met sev.
era! citizens, acknowledged with repeated
salutes the cheers of several thousand per
sons, and at 8 P. M. left for Indianapolis.
The Prince stepped from tho car to a
temporary platform, erected by the local
reception committee along the track at
the depot. He was accompanied by Colo
nel Bingham and several secret service
men, Including Chief Wllkle. He was met
by E. Pollle German Consul at Cincin
nati, who presented Mayor Grainger. Tho
Mayor presented others of the reception
committee, and then formally welcomed
tbe royal visitor to Louisville In the fol
lowing words:
"As Mayor of Louisville, and in tho
name of all our citizens, many of the very
best of whom camo from the Fatherland
or are of German descent, I bid Your
Highness welcome, and offer the freedom
ond hospitality of our city. It is a great
disappointment that your visit to the
United States is of brief duration, and
your itinerary so arranged that you can
spare but 10 minutes to Louisville; but
none the less do all our people appreciate
the distinguished compliment of your pres
ence, and they unite earnestly with me in
the hope that the Impressions 'you carry
home from America to His Qlajesty, your
brother and sovereign, from whom you
come as ambassador of friendship, will be
agreeable beyond anticipation and endure
alike for the greater glory and prosperity
of the German Empire and our own Re
public. On your Journey across the con
tinent and back to your native Prussia,
our best wishes attend you."
As Mayor Grainger said, 'it Is a great
disappointment that your visit to the Unit
ed States is of such brief duration," the
Prince Interjected: "I am sorry, too."
Soavenlr Album.
Mayor Grainger then handed to tho
Prince a souvenir album, which His Royal
Highness took with thanks. The album
Is bound in ooze leather. On the back Is
the seal of the City Of Louisville, stamped
In gold. On the Inside covers 'are slllc
American flags. On the first of the 12
pages In illuminated lettering are the
words: "Greeting to Hl3 Royal Highness,
Prince Henry." On the second page is the
following address, printed in large type
with red initials:
"To His Royal Highness, Prince Henry
of Prussia: The Mayor and undersigned
committee of citizens of Louisville, in
behalf of the city, extend to Your Royal
Highness with pleasure a hearty welcome.
To Your Royal Highness, as the repre
sentative of His Majesty, the Emperor,
and the people of Germany, we offer this
slight mark of our respect and good-will,
and we hope that Your Royal Highness
visit may bo pleasant, and may help to
preserve the friendship between your coun
try and ours."
On the remaining pages are photographs
of the various public buildings and points
of interest in Louisville. There are also
portraits of Governor Beckham and Mayor
Grainger.
The Prince stepped to one side of the
platform and the crowd of 7000 persons
cheered. He touched his cap and encour
aged by the continued cheers, stepped Upon
a bench near the railing. For this extra
exertion he got a roar ot cheers, which he
repeatedly acknowledged by saluting.
Prince Henry was a little hoarse and
did not attempt to make a speech, saying
to the Mayor: "Be kind enough to give
my thanks to your people for this royal
reception.'
Address From German Soldiers.
The Prlnco then received from E. Follier,
German Consul at Cincinnati, an en
grossed address from the German Soldiers'
Aid Society of Louisville, which Mr. Pol
ller was deputed to present. The address
was as follows:
"Your Royal Highness: Cherishing with
grateful heart the memory of tho country
of our birth, to which we will ever remain
attached as the place where stood oUr
cradles, and which we shall never cease
to lovo and honor, the members of tho
German Soldiers' Aid Society of Louis
ville today greet Your Royal Highness In
our new home, as an ever-welcome repre
sentative of the German Navy and Army,
in the ranks of which we are proud to
have served. Great successes which unit
ed Germany and made It a world power
have carried the fame of the defenders
of our grand fatherland on sea and on land
to the civilized nations of the world, and
only a short time since Your Royal High
ness and the officers and men under your
command have taken a goodly share In
the achievements accomplished In the far
East.
May Your Royal Highness friendljfc
visit to t9 bp tf our adoption heijf
strengthen the relations of friendship
which so closely connect Germany and
America that they may become permanent
to tho mutual benefit of the German and
American people. May your itinerary not
be marred by any untoward event, and
may you be granted a happy return to the
old Fatherland. Again we bid Your Royal
Highness welcome with all our heart as
the official representative of our former
highest war lord. His Majesty, Emperor
William II, and as a welcome guest."
Prince Henry then boarded his train.
As he was passing along the side of the
car nearest the crowd, a German citizen
stuck up his hand, and the Prlnco shook
It. .
Four hundred members of the Social
Maennercholr Llederkrans and Concordia
greeted the arrival of the Prince with
"America," and as he re-entered his train
they sang "My Kentucky Home." Two
bands furnished music, and the crowd
cheered at every opportunity. After Prince
Henry's departure the various German so
cieties held a kommers at Liederkranz
Hall, and there was also a banquet of
German citizens at Selbach's Hotel.
Louisville secret service agents had re
ceived a dispatch from headquarters at
W ashington asking whether there was any ,
strong feeling In Kentucky against Prince I
Henry. The Board of Public Safety had ,
100 policemen and detectives at the rail- i
road station tonight and eight detectives
were assigned especially to the Prince's
person.

Thonsaad Persons.
INDIANAPOLIS. March 2. Fully 15.000
people greeted the Prince Henry special,

Carl Politer, German Consul at Cincin
nati, and Lieutenant-Commander Von
Egidy. The special left for St. Louis at
11:30 P. M.
En route from Louisville small groups
gathered at the smaller stations and gave
the royal visitor hearty cheers as the
train whizzed through. "Where stops were
made at the mora important points his
royal highness appeared on the rear plat
form and acknowledged the cheers from
the hundreds who had congregated. At
Indianapolis, four companies of the state
militia were stationed at the entrance of
the Union Station, which was profusely
decorated with German and American
flags, surrounded by thousands of trl
colored incandescent lights.
Governor Durbln and Mayor Bookwal
ter entered the car, and were presented to
Prince Henry by Ambassador von HoL
leben. Governor Durbln, addressing the
Prince, said:
"Your Royal Highness: In behalf of
3,000,OOQ people whom I have tho honor
of representing In the capacity of chief ex
ecutive, I cordially welcome you to In
diana, one of the greatest states of
the Union. I sincerely lament that condi
tions are such that you are not afforded
adequate opportunity to more thoroughly
Inform yourself by personal observation
of the magnitude of our Institutions. I
wish you a pleasant journey through our
state and the country, and a safe return
to your own good land beyond the sea."
The Mayor's "Welcome.
Mayor Charles A. Bookwalter then wel
comed Prince Henry to Indianapolis, and
presented him with a beautiful souvenir
of the city, a large album. The Mayor
said:
"Your Royal Highness: The American
people welcome you as the representa
tive of a great and friendly nation, to
which they are bound by ties of amity and
friendship. American citizenship has been
exalted and ennobled by the patriotic
services and devotion of our German fel
low citizens to the cause of human liberty'
and who, while doing their full duty to the
land of their adoption, have always treas
ured within their hearts the tenderest
memories of the 'fatherland. I do not wel
come you, however, upon behalf of this
class of our citizens alone, but without re
gard to race, sect or creed, in the name
of all the people of this beautiful and
hospitable city, I extend you a most
cordial welcome and tender you this sou
venir of your visit among us; while for
the mighty nation you represent we can
but wish that It shall occupy its com
manding position among the nations of the
world."
Prince Henry was then escorted to the
rear platform of his car. His appearance
was the signal for a mighty cheer from
thousands of throats. A German singing
society sang the German national anthem
to the accompaniment of a band. The
band alternated and played German and
American selections. Prince Henry only
saluted In response to cries for a speech.
Admiral Evans appeared on the platform
a few minutes before the train left for
the West and was vociferously cheered.
As the train moved out slowly the Im
mense crowd following It for a short dis
tance, the roynl visitor remained on the
platform bowing his acknowledgements to
the enthusiastic gathering.
At Terre Haute.
TBRRE HAUTE, Ind.. March 3. The
Prlnco Henry special arrived here at
1:50 A. M. and resumed Its Journey for
St. Louis at 2:03. Prince Henry retired
after leaving Indianapolis.
Not Coining: Next Year.
BERLIN. March 2. It hH3 been official
ly announced here that Emperor William
has not decided to send a squadron, un
der the command of Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia, to the United States In
1903. But it Is not Improbable that a
Gorman squadron will go to American
waters next year, though It Is not likely
that Prince Henry will be In command,
Inasmuch as the reception now In prog
ress to the Prince could not be repeated
In Its spontaneity and magnitude. Further
more, Prince Henry will scarcely go to the
United States again, within a year.
TILLMAN TO THE IRISHMEN
Laanched Into Abase of Englishmen
and Americans.
NEW YORK, March 2. Under the aus
pices of tho Clan-nn-Gael. the 124th an
niversary of the birth of Robert Emmett
was celebrated tonight at the Academy
of Music. A large crowd was in attend
ance. Senator Tillman, of South Caro
lina, delivered the oration. Resolutions
were adopted condemning England's co
lonial policy: deprecating entangling al
liances by the United States with Eu
ropean nations; sympathizing ith the
Boers; protesting against the United
States Government allowing England to
use the United States p'orts for the fitting
out of vessels in which to ship horses
and mules, and pledging tho people of
Ireland hearty support In their struggle
for freedom.
Senator Tillman wag received with great
applause. He said:
"I am no orator, and If I have any
claim to It, it is because I speak the
truth and fight the devil with fire."
'Well," came a voice from the audi
ence "if you're not an orator you are a
good fighter."
A little later ho said:
"I was afraid I would have to postpone
ray visit because of an Incident you all
probably read about, that occurred to
me In Washington, but one of your com
mittee came to Washington, and, with
his Irish eloquence, made me promise to
be on hand, unless I wa3 (In Jail. Now
here I am, so take a good look at me, for
I am going to talk plainly."
The Senator launched Into an attack
upon England for trampling on the Irish
people. Then, suddenly turning from this
subject, he said, In strenuous tones!
'If being a flunky and aping nobility,
and establishing a system that Is akin to
England's policy, is making Tories of us,
then I think we are there at last, or at
least tho Government at Washington has
got there.
"England," continued the Senator, "can
squint, and, shaking its thumb at ue, say:
Twr ywlc to th Philipp4aM is as bad

Senator Tillman then said the Amer
ican people were slaves to partylsm, and
could get along without a boss, who, he
predicted, in time would betray the peo
ple. ,
"They have done It already, cried a
voice In the balcony.
"Yes, ond they will do it again, re
