blage such as has rarely if ever before

To accommodate the large number oC
guests the dinner table was set in the
east room, the decorations of which
were on the most magnificent scale

feature of the decorations was the elec
tric light illumination. In the mirrors

of Prince Henry's duties as a sailor.
The general effect of the decorations in
the dining room was pink and white.

by the large number of people who had

"In the name of the 'American people
I greet you and extend you our warm
est welcome and the assurance of our

Following the toaBt of the president
to the German emperor, Prince Henry
arose and addressing himself to the
president, proposed a toast to himself
and the peoplo of the United States, ac
companying It with un expression of
good will and hope for tho continuation
of friendly relations between the Ger

evenings festivities, the company be
ing limited entirely to gentlemen.

Prince at the German Embassy.
Prince Henrv arrived at tho German
embassy shortly after 11 o'clock, the
approach of the party being announced
by the shrill notes of cavalry bugles.
The prince occupied a carriage with
Admiral TCvuni. while back of them
followed the carriages of the distin
guished naval and military officers of
Prince Henry's suite and members of
the German embassy. A battalion ot
engineers occupied the avenue Immedi
ately flouting the embassy. As the
party came into stzht the engineers'
band broke Into "My Country, 'Tls ot
Thee."
Over the embassy floated a flag which
has never been seen in Washington he
roic, the personal flag of the Imperial
family of Germany. Along the front ot
the embassy entrance were looped the
German colors. Intel twined with gar
lands of lain els ami tall green nine
tops. Above the neighboring tesldences.
many senators and eminent public men
floated the Stats and Stripes. Just be
foi e the embassy door stood a guard of
honor of ten I'nited States engineers,
every one of them six foolers, as rigid
as statues. Prince Henry returned the
salute of the officers and then passed
inside. Once within the German em
bassy his imperial highness was Indeed
at home, for In diplomatic parlance, this
was the same as the native soil of the
fatlieiland. The first brief salutations
now gave wav to a geneious German
welcome. At every hand tho German
colors gave a welcome to the imperial
guest. The piince and his paity laid
aside their wraps, and the confusion ot
ai rival gave away to the calm dignity
with which affairs about the prince aie
conducted. The entlie flit-l floor of the
embassy had been placed at the dlh
posal of tho prince, and his personal
staff and soon the drawing-room, the
Japanese room, the smoking- room and
the ambassador's studv had their
groups of guests and officials. Prince
Henry had as his pilvate studv tho
Japanese room, with its rich oiiental
furnishings and curios, even the walls
showing the characteristic Japanese
storks.
The main body of the pi luce's staff,
after the call at the white house, pro
ceeded to the new Wlllard hotel, wheio
quarters coveting the entire first floor
were at iheir disposal,
The President's Call.
Tremendous cheering from theciowds
at 11. -10 announced the coming of Presi
dent Roosevelt to the embassy to re
turi the call of Prince Henry. The
president drove in an open landau with
Colonel Bingham, his naval aide. Com
mander Cowles, following In a carilage.
Tho cheering was continuous as the
president drove along, and he had his
silk hat off his head much of the time
in recognition of the repeated demon
stration. As the president stepped out
of the carriage the German ambassa
dor was at the threshold to greet him.
There was momentary exchanges of
greetings and then the president passed
up the stairway to tho drawing-room,
whera the prince was awaiting his
coining. Prince Henry stepped forward
and greeted the president most cor
dially and there was Interchange of
amenities. The president and prince ie
malned together for about ten minutes,
being left alone at first and later being
joined by the ambassador, when their
personal greetings were completed.
There was no exchange of formal ad
dresses during tho visit, which was
strictly one of offleial etiquette, al
though It gave opportunity for expres
sions of mutual cordiality and good will
between the two nations.
Following the call of the president
came that of the commissioners of the
District of Columbia, who called to ex
tend to the prince the welcome of the
city of Washington. Tho prince re
ceived them In tho drawing room where
President MeFarland of the commis
sioners delivered an address.
Piince Henry acknowledge the ad
dress with an expression of earnest
thanks,
He spoke In F.ngllsh and referred to
the pleasure with which ho long looked
forward to coining to America, At this
welcome to the city of Wnshlirgton he
not only expressed his heartfelt appre
ciation of tho courtesies shown him, but
ho also, referring to a part of Mr, Mc
Faiiand'a nddress, spoke of the strong
ties willed dad been made hero . In
Washington as far back as 1785 wden
tlie first International relations between
Germany and tdo United States were
established.
Piince Henry then prepared to make
calls upon the foreign nmbassador sta
tioned in Washington as the high rank
of an ambassador makes dim a per
sonal representative of his sovereign
or ruler and entitles him to the first
call, Tdo piince was accompanied by
the German ambassador, the two driv
ing In an open landau. Ah the prince
came Into view the crowd gave him
an ovation of cheers. Ahead of the
carriage galloped the escort of cavalry
troopers.
At the British Embassy,
The prince's first cull was ut tde
Tiiitlbd embassy, Lord Pauncefoto be
ing the dean of the diplomatic corps.

M, Cumbon, Russian nmbassador,
Count Cusslnl, the Italian ombassador,
Signor Mayor, and tdo Mexican am
bassador, Asplroz, at each pluce, cauls
being left.
Tde prince's calls did not extend to
the foreign ministers ub their rank does
not make them personal representatives
of their sovereign or ruler.
Returning to the German embassy at
1 o'clock Piince Henry and his party
took lunch with tdo German ambassa

Justice Shiras Decides That the
Court Cannot Proceed in Case, tlie
Northern Pacific and Great North
ern Companies Ave Not Hade De
fendants and Allowed to Appear in
Court In- a Court of Equity Both,
Sides Must Be Adequately Repre
sented, Bjr Exclusive wire fiom 'the Associated Frets.
Washington, Feb. 24, The United
States Supreme court today delivered
Its opinion In the case of Minnesota
vs. the Northern Securities company,
in the application of the state to lite a
bill of complaint in tdat court.
The opinion was lead by Justice
Shiras and the motion for leave to file
the bill was denied on the giound that
this couit Is without Juilsdlctlon.
Tills Is the case in which the state
of Minnesota made an effort to secuie
the intervention of the Supreme coui t to
prevent the merging ct the Northern
Pacific and the Great Northern com
panies by injunction. Justice Shiras
Mimmed up the judgment of the court
as follows:
"As the Great Northern and the
Noi theni Pacific companies are indes
pensable parties, without whose pres
ence the court, acting as a court of
equity cannot proceed and our consti
tutional jurisdiction would not extend
to tlie case if these companies were
made paitles defendant, the motion for
leave to file the proposed bill must be
denied."
The opinion is a voluminous one but
the greater part of It is a review of the
history ot the case.
Question to Be Determined.
Justice Shiras stated that the ques
tion to be detei mined was whether the
parties to the case , were before the
court and he held thnt It was obvious
that the minority stockholders of the
two railroad' companies are not rep
resented in the eontroveisy by the com
panies whose stock they hold and their
rights ought not to be affected without
a heating, even it it were conceded
that a majority of tho stock in such
companies held by a few persons had
assisted In forming some sort of an Il
legal arrangement.
The opinion then continued:
The directors of the (ireat Noitliern oiul
Northern P.icilie Iiaihoad eompauics are ap
pointed tu repieent and protect not merely the
private- and pecuniary interests of the stockhold
ers, but the rights of the public at large which
Is deeply concerned In the piopcr and advan
tageous management of these public highways.
It is not sufficient to say that tlie attorney gen
eril, the governor, or even the le-glslalurc of the
6tate can bo com.lusiiplt deemed to lepretcnt the
public interests in i-ucli a eontrovci-y as that
picsenled by the bill, liven a stale when she
volunl.iiily becomes a compliinant in a court ut
equity, cannot claim to represent both sides of
the eontroveisy. Not only have tin- stock
holders, be they fen- or many, a right to
be heart! through Iho nffleeis and dlreo
tots whom they have legally i-clccted to
repicscnt them but the geneial intrieslg of the
public which might be deeply affected by the
decree of the couit aie entitled to be heard and
that when the Mate Is the. complainant and in
,1 case like the present can only be atfeeted by
the presence of the lailroad companies as parties
defendant.

OFFICE? ARE
BLOWN UP
Six Assay Establishments at
Cripple Creek Are
Wrecked.
fly U'icluslie 'Wire from the Asco!ated Press.
Victor, Col., Feb. 24. Cripple Creek
Is In a state of terror owing to a pre
concerted attack upon all the leading
assay offices dolus business In the dis
trict. Beginning at 3 o'clock this morn
ing, and following it In rapid succes
sion, six explosions wrecked as many
assay offices In the centres ranging
from Victor to Cripple Creek and up
to Goldfleld. In every instance the ob
ject sought by the lncendiailes was ac
complished by the destruction of the
office xvlth the equipment of delicate
balances.
The raiders did not hesitate to jeo
pardize life, as all but one of the build
ings -were also occupied by sleeping
families. As it x-as, men, women and
children were hurled Out of their beds
by the shocks and serious Injuries in
flicted. The full extent of the damage,
cannot be eSflirltiTed Mow.
In this city the Davenport oftlce xx-ns
xvrccked by txxo explosions. Almost at
the same time the assay offlces at
Vanderwalker, Morgan and Williams
xvere likewise destroyed. One man. a
miner, xvas severely injured In the ex
plosion at "Williams' ofllce. lie xvas
passing at the moment of the explo
sion. Flying debris struck him in the
face. Ills Injuries may result In total
blindness.
In Cripple Creek Benjamin's assay
office, north of the Florence and Cripple
Creek depot, xvas blown up.
In the toxvn of Goldfleld, about a mile
and a half north, almost simultaneous
ly, Boyce's ofllce and another assay es
tablishment xvere wrecked. Boyce's
family occupied an adjoining room.
Mrs. Boyce was blown out of Jaed, but
escaped xvlthout fatal Injuries. She xvas
badly shocked. A family living In the
other assay office xvas also blbwn out
of bed, but escaped serious Injury.
In this city tho powder xvas placed
under the building. The house in which
a family lived next to the Williams as
say ofllce here xvas much damaged, and
a woman xvas prostrated. Sheriff Rob
ertson has called out his deputies and
Is taking all menus to discover, if pos
sible, the perpetrators of the crimes.
The general Impression here this
morning Is that the acts are the result
of a general movement to rid the dis
trict of all high-grade ote-purchaslng
concerns. Bloodhounds from Canyon
City have been called for.
For years there has been systematic
stealing of rich ore from the mines,
amounting to thousands of dollars
monthly. It Is alleged that more than
fifty assayers In the district have made
a business of buying such ore. Recent
ly the Mine Owners' association dis
covered that shipment of high-grade
oro hud been made by assayers from
this district to smelters at Pan Fran
cisco and Salt Luke, but all efforts to
stop the traffic were unavailing.

By Kxclusive Wlie fiom the Associated Piess.
Washington, Feb. 114. After eight
hours of tumultuous debate today, tho
senate, shortly before 7 o'clock this
evening, passed the Philippine tariff
bill by a vote of 46-2C, a strictly party
vote. Mr. Tillman and Mr. McLaurln,
the two senators from South Carolina,
xvho on Saturday last xvere declared by
the senate to be In contempt because
of their fight in the chamber, xvere not
permitted by voice or vote to partici
pate in the proceedings.
The (iiiestlon as to their right to voto
precipitated a sharp debate, lasting
nearly two hours. Mr. Turner (Demo
crat, Washington) defended vigorously
for the right of the two senators to,
cast their votes, and he xvas sustained
by Mr. Patterson (Colorado), Mr. Uallcy
(Texas), and other Democrats.
Air. Poraker. Mr. AUIrlch and othpr
Hepublicans held that the senators
clearly could not participate In any ot
the pioceedlngs of the senate until they
purged themselves of contempt and the
senate had removed the bun placed on
them.
The president pro tem., Mr. Frye, held
that the two senators could not vote,
and he xx'tis sustained by a majority of
the senate.
Maryland Senators Quarrel.
During the debate on the Philippine
bill, Mr. MeComus and Mr. Wellington,
of Maryland, became Involved In u con
troversy, during the course of which tho
latter declared If Air. McComns should
make his statements outside of the sen
ate chamber he would brand them as a
malicious lalsehood. He was called to
order piomptly, and lesuined his seat
amid considerable excitement.
Many amendments xvere offered by
committee, only one, an amendment le-
stilctlng the operation ot me seeution
laws enacted by the Tuft commission,
was passed.
When the name of Air. McLaurln xvas
passed, .Air. Patterson asked, why, but
xvas drowned In a chorus from the
Iteptiblioan side, demanding the "re
gular order."
When the roll call was completed,
Mr. Turner (Democrat, Washington),
demanded to know why the name of
the senator from South Carolina had
not been called. ,
"The names ot botli senators fiom
South Carolina," leplled Air. Frye, iho
president pio torn, "were omitted by
the clerk by direction of tho chair."
Then followed quite a xvranglc. Mr,
Turner Insisted on discussing the ques
tion rf the right of the South Carolina
seiuiteir to x-olo, despite points of order
that under unanimous consent agree
ment e'ebate was not In order on any
subject, Mr. Frye, lu the chair, how
ever, raid that the matter of keeping
to that agieemcnt remained with the
senators, ami also that he would
not refuse to recognize a senator xvho
ioso lo a question of personal privi
lege. Air, Turner insisted that the fatt
that a senator had been declai-Pd to he
In contempt did not depilvp him of the
rlshl of x-oting.
The Prince Arrives.
At this point, tho guest of the nation.
Frlnw Henry of tlornuiny, xvas escorted
Into tho chamber to a beat by tho sldo
of President Pro Tern Frye. As the
prince ascended the president's plat
foini, t!w senate lose as a body anil
hearty applause swept oxer the lloor
und the thronged galleries.
.Mr. Ualley (Democrat, Texas,) ex
pivsuod tho opinion that senators could
not bo prevented from exorcising their
light to vote, oven though they weto
under ai'lual ariest. While Air. Ualley
xvas f-peaklng, Prlnco Henry, xvho had
occupied his seat besido Senator Frye
for tweiitv minutes, withdrew from the
chamber, necompapled by his escort,
and amid applause from both the floor
anil galli ries.
Proceeding, Mr, Bailey bald that any
senator would have been likely under
the same circumstances to do what tlio
senatoi s from South Carolina had done
on Satin day and he declared that he
did not consider their offense so se
rious as the deprivation of a state of its
lepresentatloii on the lloor of the sen
ate. Finally tho chair recognized Mr, Aid
lich and he made the point that as the
senate xvas proceeding under an uiianl.
iiious agreement to voto on the Phil
lpplue bill no decision xvas In order on
any subject. He asked that this point,
bo submitted to the senate, which xvas
done, with tho result that the decision
xvas declared out ot order by a vote
of 40 to 5, On this question Senator
Wellington voted with the Republi
cans to sustain the point of order while
Senator Jones (Nevada) anil' Senatqu
Mason voted with the Democrats.
Mr, Turner then sought to secure rec-
ognltlon, In order to have spreat on
the records a protest of Mr, Tlllmun
but the privilege xvus denied at thu
time and tho senate proceeded to the
consideration of amendments to thu
Philippine bill.
