PROGRAMME FOR THE
WEEK IN CONGRESS
Attention of Senate and House Will
Be Devoted to Ship Subsidy Bill
and Rural Free Delivery.
By Exclusive 'Wile from Tlie Awocial'd Pre..
Washington, March ?. The attention
of the senate will be divided again
this week between the ship subsidy bill
and the bill providing for the punish
ment of persons who assault or kill
the president of the United States, the
former holding the place of unfinished
business, and the latter coming in for
consideration when there; Is no one pre
pared to speak on the ship subsidy
question. Among those who have an
nounced their Intention to speak on
the ship subsidy bill is Senator Vest,
but the condition of his health, which
remains far ftom robust, may prevent
his addressing the senate. Senator
Mallory also will talk on this subject,
but beyond these no set addresses
have been announced. However, there
undoubtedly will be a number of short
speeches on the bill, No prepared
speeches on the presidential assault
bill have been announced, but there
is no doubt the lawyers of the senate
will continue to find more or less to
say about It whenever opportunity
shall offer. At odd times, the calendar
will be taken up. Altogether, the
week in tho feenato promises to be an
exciting one.
The house this week, after disposing
of the bill to classify tlie rural free
delivery service and place the carriers
under the contract system, will devote
its attention to appropriation bills. The'
postofllce appropriation bill, which will
bo taken up first, probably, will re
quire three days. It will be followed
by the river and harbor bill. It Is re
garded as a foregone conclusion that
tho rural free delivery bill will be de
feated when the vote is taken tomor
row. EIRE AT MISSION SCHOOL.

Elaborato luncheon Served at the
University Club.
Try Kxdusivc Wire from Tho Awoclaled I'rnu.
New York, .March 9. Prince Henry ot
Prussia was the central figure today
in (mother round of entertainment ar
ranged in his honor. He first listened
to a concert at the Waldorf-Astoria
largely made up of his favorite Amer
ican songs, the concert being arranged
at his request. When that was over ho
drove to the University club to a lunch
eon which was not concluded until
mid-afternoon. At night he was the
guest at dinner of Mr. and Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt and met large party
made up of persons of social promin
ence. When the prince bade farewell to tho
company at tho Vanderbilt home ho
went to the New York Yacht club for
an informal reception, and tho hour
was lato when he returned to the Waldorf-Astoria
for the night. He found
time between the four main events on
his programme for theday to receive a
delegation representing the commercial
club of St. Paul and several callers, and
to finally complete tho arrangements
for the last two days stay In the coun
try and his departure for home. He
had intended to be present at the relig
ious services on tho imperial yacht
llohen.ollern in the morning, but tho
case of scarlet fever which developed
there t.evcral days ago altered that
plan. Instead he remained nt the hotel
ai Ising late and bre-ikfastlng at his
leisure.
It was the Arion society of Brooklyn,
winner of the kaiser's prize at the sing
ing festival In Brooklyn in 1900, that
furnished tho morning concprt for the
prince at the hotel. It had been oilgln
ally nranged that the singers should
serenade- the prince aboard the Hohen
zollern yesterday, but in the change of
plan the serenade was abandoned. The
prince met Dr. W. John Schlldge, chair
man of the music committee of the so
ciety at tlie dinner Saturday night and
expressed regret that he was not to
have a chance to hear the club sing.
The doctor suggested that It might still
take place at tho hotel and the prince
approved tlie Idea. It was midnight
but a few hours to arrange the affair
remaining. Telegrams and telephone
messages were hurried out to the mem
bers nnd by 11 o'clock this morning ISO
of them had reported at the' hotel,
The Concert.
The concert took place In the Astor
gallery and began at 11.30. The prince
sat In the centre of the hall, surrounded
by tho members of his suite, the Ameri
can escort, Ambassador Von Holleben,
Consul General Uuenz and Consul Gelss
ler. The chorus first sang "Pries Lied,"
and after that, at the request of the
prince, an extended programme, which
Included "Old Kentucky Home" und
"Dixie."
The concluding number was the
Kroutzer's "The Lord's Own Day," and
It was rendered very effectively. The
prince was delighted with the serenade,
and after slinking hands with the oftl
cers of the society, addressed the mem
bers brlelly in German, He thanked
them for whnt they had done for htm,
and congratulated them on their excel
lent musical ability. He said, In part:
"I never heard sweeter music from a
male choir. I have heard other music
in this country which has given mo
great delight, and it hns brought mo
to the conclusion tha.t music Is born In
the human heart, without regard to the
race or color. You should cultivate
miislo not only ns a boon to yourselves,
but for tho benefit of others."
The Arlon society presented tho prince
with an Illustrated address, and an
nounced that during tho day a cable
mussago suitable to the occasion would
bo drafted and sent to tho kaiser.
The luncheon nt tho Unlveislty club
was given by the committee appointed
by President Roosevelt to arrange for
tho visit of the prlnco und escort him
on his tour, and the hosts were Gen
eral Corbln, Assistant Secretary of
State Hill, Admiral Evans, Colonel
rilnghnni and Commander Cowles, The
party left the hotel ut 11,10 o'clock with
mounted police as special guurd for tho
carriage of the prince, A great crowd
saw the departure from tho hotel and
tho arrival at the club, but thero was
no special demonstration. An elabor
ate luncheon was served und there wus
an Interesting discussion of the trip
through the country, Just concluded,

and leader, was presented to the prince.
'The two' chatted for fifteen minutes
during which time the prince asked
' many questions as to the negroes. He
asked Mr. Washington for a book of
negro melodies and the latter promised
to send him one.
NEW YORK WAS NOT" DRY
Brinks Could Be Procured Behind

Hy Inclusive Wire from 'flic Associated Prrovi.
New York, March P. Despite the al
leged promises of the snloop keepers
that to day should be tho very dryest
Sunday on recordlenfar-as -New York
was concerned, the man or woman who
wished had little or no trouble In pur
chasing drinks. About the only notice
able difference in getting one was that
the thirsty man was not allowed to
stand at the bar and In many instances
he was forced to sit down to the "prop
erty" sandwich, left over from earlier
days of Raines law reign.
But for all that tho day might be
termed a quiet Sunday. A quiet tip
was given to the crowds that usually
hang about the Inside of the saloons
that their presence was not desirable.
In consequence the usual hangers-on
kept out of the way.
Captain Sheehan was especially act
ive In the Tenderloin precinct and be
fore the day was well along his men had
arrested several barkeepers.
In the upper West Side portion of the
city the orders for a jlry Sunday were
observed to a certain extent. On the
lower east side of the city it Is doubt
ful If one saloon in live hundred was
closed. In more instances a man could
walk Into the side door without any
trouble. Along Seventh avenue and on
the Bowery bar rooms that have prob
ably not been closed a single day for
years, did no bar trade at all. In many
Instances the proprietors of these places
had impromptu bars rigged up In the
back rooms and served drinks there.
There were few saloon keepers who
would admit that there hud been any
understanding, let alone orders, regard
ing a dry Sunday.
The total number of excise arrests in
Greater New York today was thirty

Iloifn, Azores, March 9. The Etru
rla was towed Into port and anchorcil
hero at C o'clock this (Sunday) oven
liifr. All on board are well.
She had 11 comparatively uneventful
passage, except for the breuk-dowu,
which occurred during the dinner hour
of January '!',. When this occurred,
the Etrurla had only Just .finished
speaking by wireless telegraphy with
the Cunard line . steamship Pnibrla.
After the accident was discovered, tho
Etrurla called the Uinhria wlrclcssly
for one hour, but without success.
Upon examination, it was found that
tho s-hlp's propeller hud broken off out
side tlie tube, and that the rudder hud
been carried away by the propeller.
The Etrurla then scat up rockets,
which were s-cen by the !rltlli
steamer William Cllrr. Tim latter bote
down nnd w'as alongside in llfty min
utes after the accident. She stood by
until'duyllght, when, after sevcr.M at
tempts, she succeeded in passing a
hawser aboard the Etrurla. The tank
steamer Ottawa arrived on the scone
nt this time. Thu William Clltt then
attempted to tow the Etrurla, while
the Ottawa attempted tQ steer her.
The hawser, however, snapped. The
Ottawa stood by for two days and
then left for Fayal, bearing the second
ofllcer of tho Etrurla, to report the dis
aster and' obtain assistance.
In tho meanwhile, tho crew of tho
IStrurla had made every effort to 1 lg
a jury rudder. The first such rudder
was carried away immediately an at
tempt was made to use it. After fur
ther efforts, lasting for two days, a
second jury rudder was successfully
adjusted and is still in position.
Passengers Praise Crew.
The passengers of the Etruria were
satisfied they were in no danger, and
they praise the conduct of the captain
and crew of tho vessel. After the acci
dent the passengers amused them
selves with the usual deck sports, and
concerts were held in the first and
pecond cabins. Only those who were
anxious concerning business matteis
chafed at the unavoidable delay.
The Etrurla. reports having sighted
the Italian mail steamer Sardegnu,
fiom Naples Feb. 20, for New York,
last Wednesday, March o. The Sar
degu.i stood by, but finding sha could
be of no usslstuncu, proceeded on her
course.
The Etrurla was hoping to commu
nicate with the Xorth German Lloyd
steamer Kronjirln. Wllholni by wire
less telegraphy. Hut her mast who
broke In several places and she was
unable to repair It until the weather
had Improved, when It was too late.
After the accident, the passage of tho
Cunard steamer was entirely unevent
ful and theio occurred nothing of In
terest beyond the dully runs of the
vessel, which ranged from sixty to 11
hundred knots.
The Etrurla will wait here, for the
arrival of the royal mall steamer Elbe,
which left Southampton for llorta
yesterday. The Elbe will carry the
Utrurla's passengers to England. Tho
Etrurla will then bo towed home by
tho two tugs which are now on their
way out from Liverpool for this pur
