The lluiuburgAmcrica.. Hue steam
er Duelschlund arrived at Cuxhav
en at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening
from Cherbourg, France, having on
hoard Admirnl Prince Henry of Prus
sia aud his suite.
The return of Admirnl Prince Henry
of Prussia to German soil waj safely
accomplished amid all the pomp and
circumstance with which the prince's
imperial brother has Keen fit to ma:k
the succcessful ending of Prince Hen
ry s American mission.
The Hamburg-American line steam
er Deutschlund, from Cherbourg, hav
ing on hoard the prince and his suite,
was first sighted at 5:30 In the after
noon. Tho German battleship Kaiser
WUhclm II steamed down the road
stead to meet the D;uitsi hlnnd and
returned escorting the big liner. The
Deutschland tied up to the new stone
quay and was the Mr.it ship to dock
there.
Emperor William stood upon the
quay surrounded by high rnval and
municipal officials. As representa
tive of the American embassy at Ber
lin Commander William II. Boehlcr,
the naval attache to the embassy,
stood at the emperor's side.
The quay was decorated with the
flags of all the states of the empire
and thousands of spectators who cov
ered the roofs of the great warehouses
and tho wide slopes overlooking the
Bi-ene cheered wildly as Prince Henry
walked down the gangwny from the
steamer. Emperor William kissed his
brother upon both checks and shook
lunula with the members of his suite,
saying a few cheerful sentences to
each. In tho meantime the guns of
tho squadron saluted.
Side by side his majesty and Prince
Henry then passed down In front of
the marine guard which stood at sa
lute. After this the murine guard
passed In review while the hand of tho
Imperial yacht Hohenr.ollern played the
national anthem.
After the Inspection of the guard of
honor and the veterans by Emperor
William, his majesty and his party,
Prince Henry and his staff and Com
mander Heehler hoarded a tender and
amid fresh salutes, music and cheer
ing proceeded to the battleship Knlscr
Wllhelm II. Upon arriving there the
crew of that vessel manned their
ship to receive the royal personages.
The Kaiser Wllhelm II weighed an
chor at a quarter past 7 and started
toward Kiel through the canal.
Judqe Gayr.or Decides For Guden.
Supreme Court Justice Gaynor of
Brooklyn handed down his decision In
the Kind's shiiovn'ty controversy late
SatunOiy afternoon. He ll.icls that the
removal of Charles Cuden from the
office ( f sheriff Is unconstitutional and
void. He grants Ouden's application
that Colonel Dike be required to show
cause why he should pel turn over to
Gudf n tin books, pipeis and records
of the sheriff's olllcs.
Justice Gaynor holds that Governor
Odell exceeded his constituti uml
rights In removing Guden for an a t
alleged to have been commuted before
Guile n was sleeted to office, snd that
the ground the governor takes In the
case Is opposed to the rat Inn's theoiy
of government and a menace alike to
the rights of ofliclals pnd of voters.
The ci ui t also declares that the cer
tificate signed by the governor, setting
forth that Guden had been charged
with malfeasance and misfeasance In
office, was false. Colonel Dike Is
sharply rebuked In the decision for
his "lawlessness" and "violence" In
taking possession of the disputed of
fice while the case was before the
court, but Justice Gaynor ado's tha' it
Is only "(air to say of Mr. Dike, who
has a fine character in this community,
that It was staled that he acted, and
he picsumably did act. under what
he deemed controlling advice or au
thority." Governor Odell Intimated ot Albany
that the case would doubtless be car
ried to the court of appeals. He
wouldn't say anything more. .
Two Important Bills.
Two important measures were
passed by the senate during the past
week the bill for the repeal of the
war revenue taxes and that for tho
protection of the president of tho Unit
ed Slates. The revenue hid was
passed without division and alter only
one short speech. Mr. Tillmaii pio
tested against the repeal of the duty
of 10 cents n pound upon tea.
The bill provides that any person
within the United States who shall
wilfully kill the president or any offi
cer on whom the duties of president
may devolve, or any sovereign of a
foreign country, or 6hall attempt to
kill any of the persons named, shall
Buffer death; that any person who
shall aid. abet, advise or counsel the
killing of any of the persons named,
or shall conspire to accomplish their
death, shall be imprisoned not exceed
ing 20 years; that any person who
shall threaten to kill or advise or coun
sel another to kill the president or
any official on whom the duties ot
president may devolve, shall be Im
prisoned not exceeding 10 years; that
any person who shall wilfully aid In
tho escape of any person guilty of any
of the offences mentioned shall he
deemed an accomplice and shall bo
punished as a principal.
Encouraging Trade Reports.
Price changes for the week are few
of them Important. Stocks remain
steady, while exceptional activity and
strength are noted in bonds. Wheat,
after failing to respond to cold weath
er crop damage talk, weakened on re
ports and predictions of further ruins
in the wmtar wheat belt, but at the
decline struck large export orders
which turned the market upward.
Liquidation has been the feature In
this cereal aud in corn aud oats, which
latter are lower on the week.
Cotton prices appear to have struck
a dead center, receipts having been
smaller, while e.poits. though les
sened, nre still liberal, but specula
tively the situation appears to have
been overbought. Print cloths are
higher on the week. Wool Is firmer,
largely owing to the small supplies
available and the feeling that higher
prices will be obtained for the new
clip.
liusiness failures for the week num

Angel of the Wreck.
Coroner Laird has announced his
verdict in the Aurelius wreck on the
New York Central, near Auburn, N. V.,
In which six lives were sacrificed. Ho
finds that tho accident was due to the
recklessness and carelessness of En
gineer Purand and Conductor Butl'jr
of the wrecking crew, which was run
ning without orders mid had no right
of way.
The train should never have left Ca
yuga until the passenger train had
passed. He recommends that the New
York Central double track the Au
burn blanch. District Attorney Day
ton in! i mated that Conductor Uutler
would be arrested and held for man
slaughter. Miss Caroline Webster of Geneva,
the angel of the wreck who tore up her
skirt to make bandages for the wound
ed, has been rewarded with an annual
pass on the New Y'ork Central.
Testimony of General Miles.
The printed testimony of General
Miles before the military affairs com
mittee has not yet been made public
and it will be submitted to him
for approval. It is well understood
that a great deal of what tho general
said will not appear in the record.
Member of the committee say the
report published was correct In sub
stance In every particular. At tho
same time these senators do not agree
that General Miles can be punished
for his utterances before the commit
tee, whether they appear In the re
cord or not. Of course the commit
teo could take no action to prevent
the retirement of General Miles. That
under the law, Is purely an executive
act and needs no confirmation or ap
proval by the senate.

TALK WITH PRESIDENT
Conference With Republican
Opponents of Reciprocity.
Call Was at the Request of the Presi
dent Taik Covered Conditions In
Cuba and Means of Harmonizing
Conflicting Interests Unanimity of
Action Desired.
Washington, March 25. A confer
ence was held at the White House be
tween the president and seven of the
Republican members of the house who
have been foremost in opposing the
plan of Cuban reciprocity urged by
the ways and means committee, which
plan it is understood has the support
;,f the administration.
The members were Representatives
Tawney and Morris of Minnesota, Dick
of Ohio, W. T. Smith of Michigan,
Minor of Wisconsin, Metcalf of Cali
fornia ami Dayton of West Virginia.
The call was at the request of the
president. He desired an exchange
jf views to tho end that harmonious ac
tion may be secured in such steps as
shall be taken in behalf of Cuba. A re
port gained circulation that Secre
tary Root and Geueral Wood were pres
ent during the conference, but this
was not the case. Only the president
and the congressmen were in the cab
lnet room. The talk covered the con
ditions in Cuba, what should be dono
to meet these conditions and the ques
tion of harmonizing conflicting inter
ests so that there may be unanimity
of action on the part of the Republi
cans In congress. It was said after
wards by those who participated in
the conference that it was of the most
agreeable character.
The callers were frank to concede
that they found the president desir
ous of extending effective relief to
Cuba by the reciprocity plan.
At the conclusion of the conference
the general understanding was reached
that any statements made to the pub
lic were to the general effect that no
conclusions vere reached and that
the conference was confined to a gen
eral interchange of views. It Is un
derstood that the president will see
some of the members of the ways
and means committee today, thus fam
iliarizing himself with both sides of
the issue.

a verdict of $5u,ouU against the Cuba

tit'O. The stock is said to be wholly
held by William C. Whitney, Oliver
Harrimun, J. P. Morgan, Levi P. Mor
ton and Sir William Vun Home of

business iu Cuba, fur which he was to
receive i.Ooo a year and one shard of
stock aud that when he had finished
this work the company discharged him,
paying him whui salary was due him
but refusing his demand for the share
of stock.

ous stockholders in the company ill
court it was udniitted by them that
the share of stock iu dispute was
wortu ?'i0,0UU. Beyond this they could
not throw light upon the matter. Sir
William Van Home was the only wit
ness lor ihe defense. He admitted
the truth of Mr. Mcl.aurin's story ex

A larje number tf witnesses testi
fied that the factory had been disman
tled and nearly all the goods shipped
away bolero the tire, and Instead of a
loss of $G5,000 there was not $10,000
wcrth of stock In the faetoiy when It

cases of silk were bought, shipped to
Heading and then shipped elsewhere.
The silk was worth $lfi,922.
Af'or the fire Miss Harris testified
that the firm In New York thought It
waa necessary to have a dummy led
ger. She said the men bought a new
one and proceeded to make the pages
look old by blotting them and stain
ing them with cigar ashes and greasy
hands. Those present at that time
were N. S. Werthelmer, Friedlander
and wife and Clerk Nebensahl. She
said:
"Wertheime.r offered mc $500 to copy
the ledger."
Former District Attorney Graham of
Philadelphia then touk the wltnesn In
hand. She admitted she was married
and that her name was Rosenthal.
She denied that she had ever asked
Werthelmer to get a divorce and mar
ly her, but said that Werthelmer had
declared his love for her. She ad
ded: "I am sorry to say that I reciprocat
ed his love. After I left his employ
he came to my house and said he waj
unhappy. I did not try to separate
the Wertheimers. He wrote to me,
saying 1 was the sunshine of his soul
and the only woman he ever loved.
Later I concluded not to protect Wert
helmer any longer because he did not
keep his promise to reform."

given to you their opinion as to
