'IJciiln, Jan. 2G. The Prince of Wales,
who la to represent King Kdwnrd nt
tlio celebration of the birth or Emperor
William tomorrow, visited the Prus
sian princes, Count Von Iluelow, the
Imperial chancellor, the various ambas
sadors, and other distinguished person
ages this morning. Soon after 1 o'clock
Emperor William and the prince drove
in a closed carriage to the barracks of
the First Itoyal dragoons. Queen Vic
toria's own. A triumphal archway of
evergreens had been erected in front of
the barracks and the reslment was
drawn up In parade order. The band
played the Hrltlsh anthem, and after
the regiment had marched past the em
peror and the Prince of AVnles, the lat
ter proceeded to the regimental mess
room, where luncheon was served, The
party included the British ambassador
to. Germany, Sir F. C. Laseelles. and
his staff, Princes Albrecht and Wll
helni Eltel-Frlederlck and Prince Henry
of Prussia. The luncheon terminated
at 3 o'clock, when Emperor William re
turned to the castle, and the Prince of
Wales took a train for Potsdam, there
to visit the Duchess of Albany and to
lay a wreath 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 or
the castle, at which the British min
ister, Count Von Puelow, and Count
Von Waldersee were present.
No Disrespect Shown.
Emperor William in his speech toast
ing King Edward at the military
luncheon in the barracks of. the First
Itoyal dragoons, touchingly referred to
the death of Queen Victoria and ad
verted to the wonderful colonial tour
of the Prince of Wales as exemplifying
the greatness and the extent of the
British empire. He Invited the com
pany to drink to the health of the
Prince of Wales as the representative
of the British army, to which toasts
the Prince of Wales suitably responded.
Berlin, Jan. 26. Today passed with
out any disrespect being shown to the
Prince of Wnles. who arrived yester
day evening to represent King Edward
at the celebration of the anniversary of
the birth of Emperor AVllllani next
Monday, (iernian crowds have a loo
deeply abiding icspect for royal per
sonages and are too thoroughly policed
to eer jeer them. Hut, in a city where
the lifting of one's hut is as universal
.as ordinary civility, It was singular to
see the passing crowds with never a
hat rais-ed and to hear no murium. s of
applause.
The last experience abroad of the
Prince Of Wales was his departure.
amid thunderous cheers, from the'
snores or New Foundland, while the
f-treets through which the prince was
obliged to bo driven today on his way
to visit the British ambassador here
were without one single Biltlsh Hag.
While receiving the most elaborate
mention from the family of Emperor
William and from German officials, the
Prince of Wales must Sel 'the chilling
attitude of the German public. Almost
nil the newspapers refrain from edl
torlul comment on his visit.
Friendship for United States.
The National Zeltung concludes a
page editorial on the friendship between
the United Stales and Germany In these
wnrrtii:
"The only object of the visit of Pi luce
Henry to the United States Is the culti
vation of this sentiment. The German
emperor could give the United states
no better pi oof of the feelings and sen
timents nnlmatlng him and the Ger
man people, in regard to the greatness
and development or the Union as a
civilizing power, than In sending ills
brother there. Prince Henry goes, as It
were, as the Interpreter of Germany's
friendship for the United States. Ho Is
the llrst German prince from the old
reigning house who treads the holl of
the great republic, and undoubtedly his
ac(imlutunceshlp with the most promi
nent men of the Union will exercise a
beneficial effect upon national relations.
"The visit of Prince Henry must dls"
plputo all the foolish and malicious as
sertions of political antagonism between
Germany and the United States and ot
German plans of conquest In the Ameri
can sphere of influence, and Instead
thereof, strengthen and establish feel
Inga of mutual recognition und equal
ity or standing. No treaty or alliance
between Germany and the United
States Is needed, Ever since the exist
ence of the United States, peace, friend
ship and trade Intercourse have pre
vailed between us. Prince IJenry's trip
shows that wo wish to remain In the
same relations In the future, und the
reception which the people, (he govern
merit and public opinion are preparing
for him on American soil, will give
splendid proof that the Americans
cherish similar sentiments and hopes."
MANILA DESIRES
CHINESE LABOR
American Chamber of Commerce
Appeals to Congress for Aid to
Develop the Country.
lly Pscliudte Wire from The Associated Prom.
Manila, Jan. 20. The American
chamber of commerce hero has formu
lated an appeal to congress, In which
it earnestly appeals for the enactment
of laws allowing Chinamen to enter I he
Philippine Islands, under such restric
tions as the United States Philippine
commission may enact. The present
restrictive law concerning Immigra
tion, continues thin appeal, Is of no
benefit to the Philippine. Chinamen, If
admitted, would not tmter Into compe
tition with local labor, and their entry
Into the Islands is Imperatively needed,
as the tobacco,' hemp and sugar lands
of the nrchlpelago are only partially
developed. Building in Manila has
been badly retarded because of this
lack of labor and for these reasons the
American chamber of commerce, com
posed entirely of American citizens,
representing commercial Interests, re
spectfully prays for immediate action
in this matter.

It left with my children and their chil
dren, as their dearest possession."

WAR CLOUD IN

Bishop Coppin Believes That
It Will Not Soon Be
Lifted.
Hy Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Now York, Jan. 26. The Right Rev.
L. J. Coppin, who sailed from this city
about a year ago on the Umbrla, to
take charge of the Fourteenth Episco
pal diocese of the Methodist Episcopal
church in South Africa, returned by the
same ship, arriving here today. Ho Is
from Philadelphia, and was the first
bishop sent out by the African Metho
dist Episcopal church to take charge of
this diocese, which lies' south of tho
Gambesl river and comprises two con
ferences, the South African and the
Transvaal.
"I found plenty of work awaiting
me when 1 got out there," he said to
day. "The two conferences were
mapped out but were not organized,
and only a start had been made In their
development. We now have between
forty and fifty churches established,
with over 100 traveling ministers. We
have recently bought a large building In
Cape Town, where In .February next we
will open a school to prepure students
for a collegiate course. We are also
hoping soon to start an industrial and
literary schol near Bloemfontelu,
modeled on the same general plan us
the school at Tuskegee.
"We are seriously handicupepd In this
project by the unsettled condition of
the country on account of the war.
There seems little hope of the terrible
war cloud lifting. You cannot con
ceive the condition of affairs over
there. The Boers are gradually being
wiped off the earth. It Is not longer
war, but a process of slow extermina
tion. England will never listen to any
arbitration proposition which means
restoration of the republic, and the
Boers will accept no other settlement.
Just as long as they are able to keep
up the guerilla method of warfare,
they can, notwithstanding the small
ness of chelr numbers, keep thousands
of soldiers in the field busy watching
them and trying to head them off."
Bishop Coppin goes from here to
Philadelphia, where he will remain for
some two months.

speculators have obtained possession
of much of the property needed, said:
"When the Pennsylvania railroad
first began to purchase property In
New York for terminal purposes, and
before It was known what the purpose
of these purchases was or who the real
purchaser was, certain real estate
speculators observing the activity In
real estate In the vicinity of the pro
posed terminal bought up certain prop
erties and secured options on others In
advance of the company's representa
tives. When It was finally announced
that the Pennsylvania- rnllroad pro
posed to tunnel under the two rivers
and Manhattan Island, together with
the location of the terminal station
these speculators at once placed a pro
hibitive value upon the property se
cured by them. Being unable to come
to terms with them as to price there
Is nothing left to do but to secure It
under condemnation proceedlngs.whlch
will be Instituted at the proper time.
In the purchase ot the property by the
speculators the prices paid by them
were generally In excess of that paid
for surrounding and adjoining proper
ty secured by the company and which,
under such proceedings, will form
largely the basis of value for the prop
erty yet to be obtained, some of which
Is held by the speculators. On that
basis, these speculators are likely to
be awarded less for the properties held
by them than they paid for them,"
The company, Mr. Rea continued,
would not In any way be handicapped
or delayed In the proposed work; that
even were It necessary to resort to con
demnation proceedings to secure all the
property necessary for terminal pur
poses, there was plenty of work In
connection with the Immense project
which could and woujd be curried In
dependent of the terminal to glyo am
ple time to clear up such proceedings
should they become necessary.

IMPORTANT MEASURES
TO BE CONSIDERED

Occupy the Attontion of the' House,
While the Senate Will Consider
the Philippines Tariff Measure A
Majority of Senators Will No
Doubt Be Hoard on- tho Bill Be--fore
It Is Passed Senator Nelson
Will Push the Bill Creating a De
partment of Commerce.
By Kiclushe Wire from Ihe Associated Tress.
Washington, Jan. 20. The house lead
ers have made no programme for the
work of the present week, as there
are no measures of Importance press
ing for action, although tho nntl
oleomargnrlne bill and the Hill bill for
the exchangeability of gold and silver
are both on the calendar and may bo
taken up before long. Thus far no ex
act time has been fixed for either of
these measures and the lesser bills wll
take their chances as opportunity pre
sents itself. There promises to be
considerable time to spare during the
week, as there are no appropriation
bills ready to fill the gap when bills
of n general nature are lacking. The
chief Interest of the week centres In
the opening ot hearings by the ways
and means committee on the reduction
of war revenue taxes. The committee
gives tomorrow to this subject, hearing
the beer interests in the morning and
the tea Interests In the afternoon.
On Tuesday the committee returns to
the subject of Cuban reciprocity, hear
ing more of the representatives of beet ,
sugar, and also several Cuban planters
who liave come tu the United States
to" present their view of the case. One
of the members of the committee, Rep
resentative Long, of Kansas, left for
home yesterday to be gone a week, and
this led to an understanding among
the Republican members of the com
mittee that no action on Cuban recip
rocity would be taken for a week.
Philippine Tariff Bill.
The senate will devote Its principal
time . to tho 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
.t Is disposed of. lie does not count
on Until action for some time. It Is not
the present purpose of the friends oE
the bill to debate It, but th nttacks
which will be mado on It and upon the
entire administration of Philippine af
fairs 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 li
passed. Among those who will speak
early are Senators Curium-, Monc'
Teller, Culberson, Turner, Patterson,
Jones, of Arkansas, and Hacon. Sen
ator Lodge will seek the earliest op
portunlty to have the amendments
recommended by his committee for
mally adopted, but probably will not
press these when senators are prepared
to proceed with set speeches.
Senator Nelson will take advantage
of every chance to have the bill cre
ating a department of commerce con
sldered, with the view to having fa
vorable action upon it.
