A PRINCE ROYAL.
What Will Be Done to Enter
tain Prince Albert of
Belgium.

washington, March 4.-Prince Albert
of Belgium. who it is expected will ar
rive in New York next week, on the
North German Lloyd steamship Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, will not be guest
of the nation.
The prince is travelling incognitO un-
der the title of Count de Rethy and such
being the case the government and its
officials must not recognize him as a
prince The Count de Rethy comes to
this country to study political economy
and to see something OF our manutac-
turing and other industrial interests
and as the display of publicity which
would attend a visit in his official ca
pacity would greatly interfere with the
object of his tour, he has decided to
lay aside his title of prince for the time
being.
Count de Lichtervelde. the minister
for Belgium will meet the young count
upon his arrival in New York and will
escort him to Washington, where he

is understood that Lieut.. Langhorn, u.
S A a well known man in Washing
ton. has been appointed to be military
representative of the president with the
prince and that he will accompany him
on his travels in this country. Shortly
after his arrival in Washington, the
royal visitor will call upon the secretary
of state who will accompany him to the
White House, where he will be present
ed to the president. He VIII be the
guest of honor at a dinner given by the
president on Friday evening, the 11th,
and at a dinner given the following
evening by the minister from Belgium.
The latter dinner will be followed by
a reception for which the invitations

Vice President Hobart will also enter
tain him, but the date has not yet been
arranged The princes stay in Washing
ton will be short, probably not more
than three or four days and it is not
likely that he will remain in any City
a longer time
Count I4ichtervelde says: THE prince
will not remain here for more than four
days at most You see, he will be in
the country less than four months and
he has a great deal before him. From
Washington he will travel through the
south as far as New Orleans, then
northwest to San Francisco; then he
will travel through the west visiting
most of the large cities and will gradu-
allv make his way east to the New
England states, and later will return to
New York and Philadelphia. The prince
is only p years old. but he takes a
great interest in political economy and
the Industrial problems of the day. His
royal highness is the only son of Phil
ippe the Count of Flanders. His moth
er. the Countess of Flanders was born
the Princess of Hohenzollern. The
Count of Flanders is own brother of the

Efforts to Defeat the English Labor
Leader Failed.

London, March 4.-The elections have

The Earl Russell, progressive candi-

The latest returns show that the
progressives have elected 81 of their
candidates and the ,naoderates 40.
Thus far the progressives show a net
gain of 13 seats.
The moderates have gained only two
seats in central Finsbury and this was
owing to a split in the progressive
ranks.
The polling showed no marked in
crease over previous elections, but the
return of a number of extreme social
lists is a feature of the result. It is ex

FLASHED 30 MILES.
New Army Signal Light That May Be
Adopted Proves a Wonder.

New York. March 4.-Sergeants Clark
and Jones of the United States signal
corps. have been conducting a series of
experiments at Governors island that
may result in revolution of the signal
system now in use by the army
throughout the country.
So far their experiments have been
successful, and they nave written to
Washington suggesting the adoption of
a new apparatus, which consists of an
aluminium lamp, with an extraordinary
circular shutter.
So perfect is the light thrown by the
new lamp that the sentence war has
been declared with Spain can be flash
ed from Governors island to the preSi-
dio at San Francisco in fewer than six
minutes, providing the necessary num-
Der of signal stations can be placed
along the line.
For number of years the officials of
the signal corps have been experiment
ing with various lights with the object
of finding a fitting substitute for the
old time torch.
So long as the torch remains in use it
will be necessary to signal in accord
ance with the flag system, which is
slow and cumbersome. The new lamp
permits a return to the more rapid and
comprehensive Morse code. So strong
is the light produced that signals can
be flashed 80 miles.
The lamp rests upon a tripod about
four feet high. Just in front of the disk
is the circular shutter, resting on an
other tripod and so constructed that
it opens the center by moving a small
handle attached to the tripod. The
flashes are produced by the opening and
closing of the shutter The telegraph
code is based upon the duration of the
opening and closing.

WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY.
Reindeer and Provisions Bought for
Klondilke Will Now Be Sold.

Washington, March 4.-The senate
committee on military affairs has decid-
ed to recommend the passage of a joint
resolution authorizing the abandonment
of the expedition for the relief of the
miners in the Klondike region which
was authorized last December. The
resolution provides for the sale of both
the reindeer and the supplies purchased
for the expedition.
There was a suggestion that the rein
deer brought here from Norway could
be utilized by the interior department
but the committee took the view that
the animals should be sold in preference
to holding them for any department of
the government.
