A LIVE PRINCE IN THE CITY.
Prince Fumu Chechechi Late of an African
 Tribe.

There is real live prince in Birming- ham. He did not come in a special train accompanied by his royal suite, but he alighted from a passenger coach yesterday just as any real ordinary citizen would. He is a prince. however, and his royalty has been settled.
 His name is Prince Fumu Chechechi. He does not come on any extraordinary mis- sion to observe Americas mode of war fare. Neither is there a dusky belle in Birmingham worth a million who he comes to adore and open negotiations for the sale of his title. The prince comes to make He denies that his race possesses any of the barbarous traits, but there are others who consider cannibalism a national sport
 Fumu is the hereditary ruler of the Mo- hammedan territory on the west coast of Africa. He served as interpreter in the French army and for four years has been attending school at Augusta Ga. Probably from association he has grown in appear ance to be very much like the American- ized members of his uce. He is some what blacker than the average southern negro, has pleasing manners and is an accomplished lingust. He speaks fluently thirty-two dialects and i've different lan- guages. Before receiving education he lived fifteen years a heather and is the son of heather king.
 He was shown about the city yesterday afternoon by local minister and will lec- ture at West End park Sunday afternoon June 26. He will give an interesting narra- tive of his first trip into the Congo Free States and a vivid description of his ar rival among the cannibals.

IN THE HOUSE

Washington. June PA bill incorporat ing the national congress of mothers was passed when the house met today.
 The conference report upon the bill to ratify the agreement between the Dawes commission and the Seminole Indians was adopted.
 MT. Simpson, of Kansas created some thing of diversion by rising to question of personal privilege. He proceeded to read from a report of Representative Grosve- nors speech before the Ohio republican convention in which the Ohio member was reported as saying after referring to the opposition in the house, having voted for the "reconcentrados'' $50000,000 appropria- tion that mine out of every ten of those gentlemen had voted no upon every sub sequent appropriation bill for the suffering soldiers of the union.
 MT. Dalzell of Pennsylvania made the point that it was not a matter to warrant the Kansas member In rising to personal privilege, and the speaker upholding the point made by the Pennsylvanian, remarked with some humor that proceedings in the house were not infrequently subject for outside comment, and should members in- sist upon rising in such instances to question of privilege, the house would have its time so occupied that 'it would be un- able to give calm and deliberate consid- eration to legislation that Is its won't"
 Speaker Hammered Hard
 The speaker hammered hard to bring MT. Simpson to his seat; the Kansas mem- Der persisted and declared: "The assertion as regards the votes of members on this side Is false. Every man on this side has voted for every appropriation bill and no man would have cast the reflection upon large portion of this house contained in the speech of the gentleman from Ohio were he not dead to all sense of honor and truthfulness, having In his possession the facts with which the gentleman must have been familiar"
 Several private bills were then passed and also one authorizing the Montgomery, Fillmore Bridge and Improvement company to construct q bridge across the Alabama river at Montgomery, Ala

MUST HAVE THE PHILIPPINES

Washington, June 22.-Opponents of am nexation of Hawaii again occupied the att tention of the senate today. MT. White, of California, resumed his speech begun yesterday, but after speaking two hours yielded the floor to MT. Pettigrew, who dis cussed the resolutions for an hour. MT. White has not concluded his speech MT. Pettigrew taking up the argument against the resolutions merely to afford him an opportunity to rest.
 The conference report on the Indian ap- propriation bill was presented to the sen- ate, and rad, but no effort was made to dispose of it.
 MT. White resumed his speech immedi- ately after the senate convened.
 After concluding his portion of the legal objections he had to urge against the reso- lutions MT. White entered upon the dis cussion of the statements that the posses sion of the Hawaiian Islands was a mili- tary necessity.
 He maintained that even if the argu- ments of the experts were correct the United States in possessing the islands would have to surround them with tre- mendouS naval power to defend them in time of war.
 NO One Seek1nS n f1SnG
 "No one," declared MT. White, lis seek ing for a fight with us and no one ever will. If the Pacific coast is not well de- tended now, how long will you make 1t easier to defend by acquiring other terri tory that also must be defended. If we consummate this scheme we will be told must have the Philippines because Ha- waii is not worth much unless we can have something else to use it for. And when we have annexed the Philippines we must have something else. So we will ex- tend our action around the globe and en- ter upon an imperialstic policy. Is 1t for a coaling station that we propose to change our policy? If so let the govern ment get our coaling station (Pearl har- bor) and let the government of Hawaii proceed to work out its destiny, whatever that may be. If we need coaling station in the Hawaiian islands, it does not fol- low that we need the islands. If we need a coalng station in China is does not fol- low that we need the entire Chinese ems pire."
 MT. White maintained that there would be no impropriety in this government en- tering a protest against other nations in- terferlng with present government of Ha- wai and in face of such a protest no na- tlon would interfere.
 Shortly after o'clock Mr. White gave the floor to Mir. Pettigrew. After the con cuson of MT. Pettgrew's remarks the senate adjourned.
