CONES TO AMERICA.
Prince Is Student and Will Study
Medicine in New York.

New York. April 27.-Announcement
was made today of the enga cement of
Miss Florence Hazard, daughter of E.
c. Hazard, a wholesale merchant, to
Prince Francis Auersperg of Austria,
who is now a medical student at the
Long Island college hospital. Mr.. Haz-
ard confirmed the story of the engage
ment.
The prince, who was once renowned
throughout Europe for his extrava-
gance, was seen this afternoon just
after he had completed one of the most
difficult examinations of his college
course. He has been working hard dur
ing the last three years, and it is re-
ported that he will take a high place
in his class, which will graduate May s..
His instructors and his fellow students
say that this member of a proud old
Austrian house is one of the most dill
gent of men in his application to his
studies.
In the earnest young medical student
it would be difficult to recognize the
prince who came to this country in 1895
with the reputation of having run
through his patrimOny and of running
into debt to the extent of nearly $500, 900
before he was 20 years old He says he
will practice medicine in Manhattan
after he has graduated.
Mr.. Hazard does not lay much stress
upon the fact that his daughter is to
be a princess He refers to the prince
as a student of medicine, AMI the prince
says the height of his ambition is to be-
come a successful practitioner.

LOWER 'PHONE RATES.
The New York Company to Make q
General Reduction of Prices

New York, April 27.-The New York
Telephone company will put into effect
May 1 a general reduction in its rates
of service. The rate for a telephone
in a private house is to be reduced from
$50 a year to $50 a year. The rate now
prevailing permits the sending outward
of 500 messages, which is equal to 10
cents a message. More than six months
ago the rate for message from a pay
station was reduced from Is cents to
10 cents within Manhattan Borough,
but no change was made in the house
rate. Thus it cost you Is cents to tele-
phone from your home. while you could
go to a pay station and save five cents
In Brooklyn and New Jersey, where
telephones are operated by what Is TO
all intents and purposes the same COM
pany, the house rate is $50 year for
500 messages. A reduction was made
one year ago from $65 year. Rates
are even lower in parts of New Jersey,
where there is a semDIance of competi-

OUT OF SAN FRANCISCO.
The Santa Fe Will Run an Orient
Line of Steamers.

Chicago, April 27.-The Chronicle
says:
'Of1cers of the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad have about decided
to put on a line of Transpacific steam
ers to ply between San Francisco and
the Orient. The company is now plan
ming to open its new line into the me
tropoIis of the coast July 1 and 1T is
in connection with this road that the
new boat line is to be inaugurated-
Several months ago the Santa Fe
opened a Transpacific route from San
Diego and the service has proved sue
cessfuI. Instead of adding more steam
ers to the San Diego service it has
been thought best to put on a second
line to run from San Francisco. The
new line will in no way interfere with
the one already established, the second
one being auxiliary to the first.
One of the Pacific steamship COM
panies has awarded contracts to the
Cramps shipbuilders for the construc-
tion of four new passenger and freight
steamers of 5000 tons capacity each
and two or all of these vessels may
be used by the Santa Fe. Just how
the new line will be operated has not
yet been determined. 1t is said that the
Santa Fe company may buy outright
one or more of the steamers now build
ing. If this is not done they may be
run by the railroad under lease. When
the Santa Fe's. new rail line is finished
it will be the first and only company to
run through trains over its own tracks
between Chicago and San Francisco.

LIQUID AIR EXPLOSIVE.
It Generated Twenty Times the Force
of Dynamite

New York, April 27.-Liquid air may
be the high explosive of the future. Ex-
periments in Vienna reported by cal e
confirm what was already known here
Gus substance, that it is obtained
by compreSsing the atmosphere and
freeing it of its heat.
Whether the Viennese scientists have
reached the results through independent
experiments, or have taken the reports
of what has been accomplished by Prof.
Charles z. Tripler of this city and re-
peated them, is not known
According to dispatches from Vienna,
LIQUID air, when mixed with siliciouS
mari and ignited by electric spark, ex-
plOded with twenty times the effect of
dynamite. and when used in cannon
no heat was developed and the range of
the projectile was considerably in
creased.
Prof. Tripler said today he believed
the report from Vienna erred in stating
that the nQuir air was mixed with mari
In all proba bility," said Prof Trip
Ter, some cOmbustible substances. as
charcoal or a hydro-carbon, such as
turpentine or kerosene, was probably
mixed with the LIQUID air Snicious mari
may have been used to retard the ex-
plosion, but that would be it's only Of
fee. I do not think that the VienneSe
experts are justified in declaring that
the range of projectiles will be increased
by the use of the compound in place of
gunpowder."
Prof Tripler said that although the
liquid air, when mixed with combusti-
BILE substance and ignited, is highly ex-
plOsive, it is not dangerous to handle.
Conclusion will not set it off. and
therefore it can be poured into a gun to
form the charge, or placed in the pro-
jectile, and shooting the gun without
danger. 1t is explosive only when ig-
nited by a spark Prof. Tripler said
that it would also have the advantage
over powder of enabling a gun to be
fired with great rapidity without heat
ing the metal.

the work of issuing. writing and printing

There is only one newspaper man SerX-
ing a sentence in the prison. and he viii
act as assistant to the warden in conduct-
ing the paper. In speaking about the pa

In several prisons in this country news

MERIT SYSTEM
Is Urged in the Diplomatic and Con-

Chicago, April 27.-'-The diplomatic

dent Cleveland, in an address delivered
before the Chicago Woman's club today
on The Need of Competency and Per
manent Tenure in Municipal Office"
There was large attendance of mem
bers of the club and Mr.. Jones was
loudly applauded for his plea for civil
service.
I'VE are represented abroad by men
who have no experience and many of
them are without the qualifications for
dealing with business men I say the
diplomatic service is a disgrace to our
country How can we be commercial
ly great when we neglect the greatest
chance we have of promoting greatness
and securing the respect of foreigners
a good diplomatic service.
I believe expenses could be reduced
25 per cent under the merit system. We
could have better labor better results
and better government
