The crown prince of the German ene
pire, Friedrich Wilhelm, is 16 years old.
He is much attached to his 15-year-old
brother, Eitel Friedrich. He is an ex
pert on the bicycle and in rowing, and
his health is much better than it was in
his childhood. The younger brother has
always been robust, and he is the mer-
spirits and FRANKS, while the crown
prince is serious.
A professional antiliquor member of
the New South Wales legislature is Mr..
Fegan, who in the course of a recent
speech in the legislative assembly said:
whisky makes men genial for a time,
adding that this effect soon wore off
and left the drinker in a worse mood
than ever. The official report next day
made him say: whisky makes me
subjected to so much cham as conse-
quence that he almost resigned his
seat.
1t was known before his death that
the Swiss poet, Constantin Ferdinand
Meyer, was a man in easy circumstan-
ces; for some years he paid taxes on L.
1877, 900 francs, but last year the valua-
ton of his estate was raised to 1,190, 900
francs on the ground that it must have
increased largely owing to his quiet and
however, and the valuation was left at
it's old figure till he died. The official
schedule, however, shows that he pos
sessed a much greater property than
the assessors estimate. Under the Swiss
law half the sum concealed is forfeited.

JEFFRIEs IN FINE TRIM.
Candidate For Heavyweight Fight
Honors Confident.

Chicago, April 13-James Jeffries,
who is billed as the only undefeated
heavyweight champion of the world
made his debut before a Chicago audi
ence yesterday afternoon at the Great
Northern theater. He has not speak
ing part in the play, and is to a large
extent non-committal regarding the
probable outcome of his contest with
Bob Fitzsimmons for the heavyweight
championship of the world.
Put in condensed form, his talk is to
the effect that he thinks he has a
chance and is more than willing to take
it, He is certainly a relief to the ordi-
nary lot of verbose aspirants for cham
pionship honors. and evidently believes
that actions speak louder than words.
A better developed specimen of
physical manhood would be harder to
imagine than the California heavy
weight. He is of Herculean mold. With
massive arms, a broad chest and I'M
derpinning that would do credit to a
champion bicycliSt, he appears a fit
candidate for championship honors. In
the three rounds in which he appears
with Jim Daily, Corbett's old sparring
partner, he shows up to advantage and
is far quicker than most people give
him credit for being. He boxes in a
crouching position and is a hard man
to reach. For heavy man he is ex-
tremely fast, and his round yesterday
afternoon won him many friends
Billy Delaney, who trained Corbett, is
enthusiastic over the chances of his
man.
In speaking of the outcome of the
coming match with F'itzsimmons, he
said that his man was moderated, prin-
cipally from his showing against Bob
Armstrong, when he had a damaged
hand.
"Jeffries,'' said he, sis a tireIess work.
er. In one year he has fought nine 20
round fights, and in all of them has
finished fresh. He has wonderful re-
operative powers, and no matter how
tired at the end of the round, comes up
comparatively fresh for the next. He
is a hard worker and loves to train.'

SLEEPS ALL THE TIME.
Peculiar Affection of an Indiana Man
Attracts the Attention of
Doctors

Alton, Ind, April 13.-Michael Teel,
residing Is miles from here, is probably
the champion sleeper of the world.
Seven or eight years ago he began
sleeping four or five days at a time.
Now he sleeps anywhere from ten to
sixteen days without a break, and then
only arouses himself enough to take
nourishment. The doctors are greatly
puzzled by the strange case.
Teel has lived in his present home for
IA years. 1t was by neighbor calling
at his house to employ him that his
present condition was discovered. Con-
tinuOuS shaking and hammering brought
Teel to the door, but he was so drowsy
that he could not work, and returned
to his bed. The next day the would-be
employer returned and found the door
open and Teel in bed, sound asleep. He
was sufficiently aroused to respond, but
was too sleepy to remain up, and again
went to bed.
This was kept up for four days. and
then neighbors became interested in his
behalf and kept watch by his bedside.
The sleep lasted eleven days, when Teel
emerged from his room apparently as
bright as if nothing had gone wrong
with him. This was six or seven years
ago. The attacks were noticed to oc-
cur occasionally thereafter. but with
no regularity. They varied in length
from two to twelve days.
But during the last year they have
become so frequent that the neighbors
speak of Teel as sleeping all the time.
His latest feat consisted in sleeping 16
days, and it is now noticed that his
long sleeps seem to weaken Instead of
strengthening him.
In October last a younger brother
came from Ireland to live with Teel and
care for him. The brother is bright
young fellow of %. He had no knowl-
September, when he came Immediately
in response to his brothers call.

ENGLAND AGREES
And the Samoan Commission Will
Proceed at Once

Berlin. April 13-The United States
embassy at noon today gave the cor
respondent here of the Associated Press
the following statement:
I'VE have received from the foreign
office an account of the latest conflict
in Samoa. The German government ex-
presses sympathy and took occasion to
urge the adoption of the unanimity rule
in the findings of the Samoan commits
sion in order that the German commits
sion, Baron Speck Won Sternberg, might
sail for Samoa at the earliest possible
moment. The German government
urged that only the early arrival of the
commission will prevent further blood
shed This morning Baron Won BulOw
informs the American ambassador that
Great Britain has at last agreed to the
unanimity rule, the United States also
agreeing, and that the commission can
probably proceed to the islands without
delay"
The German press this morning gives
yesterdays news calmly and mostly
without comment.
The Cologne Gazette remarks: I'VE
need not say that if the guilt of the
manager of the German plantation is
proven Germany will approve of his
arrest and demand for his punishment.
We will not defend the behavior of a
German abroad merely because he is a
German.
The Cologne Gazette also admits that
DR.. Raffel, the German president of the
municipal council of Apia, acted illegal
ly in closing the chief Justices office and
says:
THE other two powers, we hope, will
| also admit the illegal acts of their rep
| resentatiVes.'
The Tagbiatt calls the arrest of the
| German manager of the plantation in
which the ambuscade took place,
! Illegal saying: ''Our consul is the
| only competent Judge"
The Lokale Anzeiger expresses the
| opinion that the affair shows the need
of prompt action by the commission.
The Vossiche Zeitung says:
Whatever action the German govern
ment takes it will find itself fully back
ed up by the reichstag."
A number of leading papers like the
Deutsche Zeitung, Schlesische Zeitung
and Hanover Courier, point out the nee
essity of a larger navy and urge the
| fastening of the present increase in it's
! strength and the adoption of an addi-
| tional bill for the construction of other
vessels.
