is "UNSER FRITZ" COMING?

Americans have but little idea OF the intense sensa
tion which the announcement made in the HERALD
some days ago that the German Crown Prince intended
TO attend the Centennial celebration at Phladelphia
has excited among their German fellow citizena
Although republicans at heart they still cherish
feeling of affection for those members Of the imperial
family whose bravery and pluck have conquered for the
Fatheriand the first place among the continental ma
tons. There was, therefore, a feeling of genuine
pleasure tho that 'Unser Fritz the next En-
peror of Germany would testify his friendly
gard for their adopted country by his presence
at the celebration OF the one hundredth ami
versary OF its independence Scarcely had the
preliminary announcement been confirmed by subse-
quent cable despatch, whom already meeting OF prom
Germans inclusive OF the officers Of the Eleventh
regiment was held Tor the avowed purpose OF raising
$50 600 deay the expenses of his reception, which
would have been commensurate with the wealth and
numbers OF his German fellow countrymcn. Ii was
nounccd ON all hands that his reception would be
grandest ever given to any visitor OF this Republic and
eclipse in spcndor even that OF the Grand Duke
Alexis As the presence of the German Crown Prince
would besides have been great card for the Centen-
nal and would have been TO attract thousands OF
Germans from all parts OF the country the managers OF
the Centennial heartily welcomed the of his
coming Yesterday despatch appeared in the HERALD
announcing, the authority of the Reuter- News Com
pany that the Crown Prince had never intended to
all announcement which VIII fall like wet
blanket upon the enthusiastic and loyal Germans Of
New York. At the General Consulate of Germany in
this city, where IT was thought official the
conflicting reports might be obtained, no information
had been received one way the other. DR.. Schu-
macher, the Consul General, absent being engaged
with Prince Wtgensten who Is TO sail for Europe

communication had been made TO the Consulate the
subject and that the only person who might have an
nkling OF tho official news was Baron SchIozcr, the
German Minister a Washington. 1t Is still hoped by
the Germans OF this city that the first Information will

Commissioner Smiths Report.

Commits -ioner Of Indian Affairs Smith. In his
annual report says that the reports Of the Indian
Supcrintendents aud Agents convey unmistakable
evidence OF year OF advance in the civilization OF
the Indians. Their testimony 10 almost uniform
TO the fact that the civilization OF the Indians is
not only entirely practicable but fairly under way.
Fo ty.two thousand ak hundred and thirty eight
Indians are self supporting Their corn crop last
year was 2,i,H 90 bushels, potatoes and other
vegetables, a2i 900 bushels; fields under eultiva-
ton 3,3 100 acrcsh larger era by ZOO acres than
ever before reported and nearly 300 900 acres
than in 1871 Nearly 10 OOJ more Indian families
are now living in houses than five years ago. The
Commissioner expresses the opinion that general
Indian war viii never occurin the United States. In
reference 10 the Black Hills country the Commits
| -ioner recommends that legislation be now sought
| from Congress offering iar and fun equivalent
for the country lying between the North and South
FoI ks of the Cheyenne River In Dakota The true
equivalent TO be offered the sioux IA helpless
wards OF the Government for the Black Hills will
be found by estimating what so square mites OF
gold fields are worth to us and what $40 square
miles OF timber, agricultural and grazing lands are
worth to them. The Commissioner says the need
of the Indian Territory is . government Of the
simplest form possible, and suggests that gov

sembly would be best adapted for that Territory

tioner opposes the transfer Of the Indian Bureau,
To the War Department. but recommends
that the purchasing, inspecting and trans.
porting Of goods and supplies required
20 suhsist the Indians he done by that de-
ptrtmcut. The Commissioner speaks in the
highest terms of the aid afforded by the different
| religious bodies OF the country, and earnestly
| hopes that Congress will remove the difficulties
which have heretofore been experienced In procur-
| ing the enactment of laws and necessary appro-
priaons for the training and education OF the In
dians. None but the very best men, he says,
should be appointed rs Agents, and he expresses n
hope that the Government will still be inclined
