Berlin, Feb. 3. = Military and social
circles here are discussing sensation
which has been caused by the complete
disappearance of Prince Assiz Hassam, a
young Egyptian nobleman who was serv-
ing in the First dragons in garrison in
this city. Prince Hassam, it appears,
has been living in very extravigant
style, employing number of servants
and having number Of horses and car
riages. At the opera, the theaters and
at several clubs the young prince was
well known and was much remarked for
his stylish appearance and extreme liber-
atty. According to one story, recognize
ing that public disgrace was inevitable,
and that his colonel would soon demand
his withdrawal from the army, the prince
committed suicide in some manner and
in some place not known at present. Ac-
cording to another story the prince in
despair fled from Berlin with young
lady known in theatrical circles, and
upon whom Prince Hassam is reported
to have lavished much money and at
tention.

Working the Brethren.

Minneapolis, Feb. 3.-Rev. G. L. Nor
rill is having his feelings all narrowed up
by the antics of young man down East,
who claims to be brother of the popular
Mi neapolis pastor, and who is working
the Baptist ministers in the Eastern
cities on the above representation. MIR.
Morrill, is delighted, of course, to learn
that his name is good enough to pull cash
out of the pockets of the Baptist min
listers in the East, but he prefers to do
the pulling for himself. He has re-
ceiyed no less than five letters from diff
ferent ministers lately, asking about his
''brother," who tells story as follows:
He says he is a graduate of the state
university in the electrical engineering de-
partment. He left Minneapolis quietly
for Texas. He has been wild and dis
sipated, but ''has reformed now,' and in.
tends to lead better life. His game
is to get the ministers who know Mr..
Morrill, to lend him money to ''help him
keep his pledge to HIMSELF and help him
along. He has received many favors and
considerable cash in this way. Mr..
Morrill, says that he cannot imagine who
the fellow can be.

Minneapolis, Feb. Sit is understood
that the grand jury has issued suA2oenas
for dozen firemen and ex-firemen, and
this afternoon is preparing to reopen the
books of the Fire Department Relief as
ISOLATION. The result of this will be to
air the old matter of the alleged shortage
talked of year ago when the fire de-
partment investigation was put under
way. Among witnesses who have been
subpoenaed are Frank l.. Stetson and
young Carleton, who was Chief Runge's
stenographer last year, and who was dis
charged after the investigation The
charge is made that Stetson's friends are
back of this movement and are trying
to secure indictments, not necessarily
against Runge, but against officers of che
relief association who are under Runge's
influence. The trend of this would be to
lend color to the charges brought against
Runge before the council involving his
lack of executive ability and his general
unftness for the Office Of chief. If indict-
ments are secured, which is believed to
be doubtful, the idea is to hold them over
Runge's head with view to his dis
missal at the end of the year, if not be-
fore.

before Attorney General Childs yester-
day in the matter of an application made
by Judge Cord, of the National Chemical
company, for the use of the attorney gem
erals name in suit to have the company
dissolved A complaint is prepared by
d. l.. Danforth and G. e. Danforth of
St. Paul, both members Of the corpora
ton, that they were defrauded at the in
spection of the company. They claim
that the parties who induced them to
enter into the corporation were insolvent
at the time, and that by an agreement
with the incorporators the whole of the
capital stock was divided up without
payment of any part of the value of the
stock. Subject to this agreement Mr..
Danforth claims that he has paid
amounts on the stock of all the men,
bers to the amount Of $1,000. This,
Judge Cord contends to be evidence of
fraudulent organization. The opposing
parties are e. d. Titus and G.. w. Cole
They were represented yesterday by Mr..

Minneapolis attorneys. The attorney
general has taken the matter under I'D.

ting away with over $1OO.OOO OF the
hard earned savings of confiding farmers
mud 5000 bushels of wheat which they
had hauled to the mill for storage.
Neither money nor wheat could be found
when the receiver took charge. When
the bank and mill closed Arnold assured
depositors and creditors that they would
receive dollar for dollar. They placed
great confidence in him and rested easy
until the receiver made his report showing
that the bank would pay 10 cents on the
dollar and the mill 40 cents Indignation
ran high, hut Arnold for time allayed
the bitter feeling and prevented the peo-
pie whose property had been squandered
from taking action. They recently be-
came convinced that he was playing q
game of bluff, and raised fund OF
$1,000 with which to prosecute him. The
grand jury was called for next Monday

dicted upon several charges. Arnold was
a young man of exemplary habits, and
what became of the vast sum of money
that passed through his hands is o

adoption of the order was preceded Nv
very lively passage ut arms between NJ

made by the former to have the word,

and subject him to censure.
Only two speeches were made TO-DAY
the first by Mr.. McCreary, which was
the opening argument in support of the
resolution under discussion, and which
consisted of a very critical and anavt,
ical review of the entire situation from
the first inception of the revolution early
in 1892, to it's contamination in January
1903. 1t was in every respect stronr
arraignment of the action of Minister
Stevens who was boldly charged with

throw the existing monarchy. Mr.. Hits
reply was marked by great feeling and
vigorous utterances. In his denunciation
of the policy of Mr.. Cleveland and his
characterization of the deposed queen be
used the strongest possible terms, fire.
quently eliciting the applause of his Re-
publican colleagues. He had not con.
Guided his speech when the house ad.
jourEed. The resolution which forms the
basis of the present discussion is that
of McCreary, condemning the acts Of Min.
lister Stevens and approving the policy Of
the president, at the same time express.
ing the sense of the house that the an.
nexation of the Hawaiian islands is in.
expedient. For this the Republicans have
offered the minority report approving Of
Minister Stevens acts and condemning
the acts of the present administration.
In the course of the proceedings to-day
Mr.. Blaire of New Hampshire offered in
the shape of an amendment, resolution
in favor of the annexation of the Hawa.

eventful one. After an hours debate in

nying the authority of the, secretary of
the treasury to issue bonds at this time
was then taken up and consumed the re-
mainder of the day, Senator Villas making
the principal argument in opposition to
the resolution. The senate adjourned
