BERLIN, March 4. - The United
States ambassador, Andrew D. White,
calls attention to the fact that for
some time past there has been an evil
dent tendency on the part of the Ger
man government to be very concilia-
tory towards American commerce.
In the first place, regarding Ameri-
can insurance companies, which for
merly were forbidden to do business in
Prussia, the government has conceded
that the case which was supposed to
be closed may be reopened, and also,
what the insurance companies have
been urging, it has sent representa-
tives Of Prussia to New York to inves-
tigate the methods of American COM
panies. Whether these concerns will
be permitted to resume business will
depend on the nature of this report.
Regarding American meats" said
Mr. White, "the meat inspection bill
has a number Of features favorable
to American interests, showing good
will towards the United States. The
concession regarding oranges, raisins
and dry fruits, ard the passing of
them in bond without inspection, is

Frank ]. Hecker, quartermaster
United States volunteers, known to all
shipping men and contractors as the
Long Distance Operator" is to leave
the service Of the United States, and
there is consequent rejoicing through
out the entire Quartermaster's depart
ment. Col. Hecker recognized no SUI
perior officer except Secretary Afger
and cared no more for the Instructions
OF the quartermaster general than he
did for the lowest subaltern The army
orders announce that Col. Hecker will
be discharged from the service on
April L, as his services will no longer
be required by the United States.
Col. Hecker perhaps achieved more
fame by his purchase of transports
than by any other single act. He was
never in conference with the owners of
vessels, but conducted all his business
with them over the long distance tele-
phone. He paid exorbitant prices for
transports and chartered vessels for the
government at figures unheard of in
maritime circles. Many of the vessels
he chartered remained at their wharves
for upward of a month without ever
going into the service Of the United
States. He was appointed a colonel
in the quartermaster's department by
the president on the recommendation
Of Secretary Alger on July s.. 1885,
Col. Hecker was placed at the head
of the division transportation because
he was the president of the Consoli-
dated Car Company of Michigan,
company which manufactures freight
cars. He had little knowledge of NOV
ing troops, and had never endeavored
to enlighten himself. Col Bird, a reg
ular army officer, was relegated to the
rear, and Col Hecker took charge
Col. Hecker spent for the govern
ment 1921, 900 for army transports on
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts. After
Col. Hecker bought the transports s17S,-
61S had to be expended in fitting them
up for soldiers. Through the charges
made against the transports and camp
sites he was directly responsible for
the converting of the 100000 war in
vestigating commission AS Secretary
Ayers personal representative, he Wis
tied Cuba and suggested improvements.
He planned piers, wharves and rail-
roads for Havana which will cost S.

unloading supplies and troops in Cuba
for hundreds of years.

Speaker Reed Gives the Caviar,
Hero the Cold Stare


Hero the Cold Stare.
WASHINGTON. March 4.-There was
dramatic episode in the house today
when Gen. Wheeler, of Alabama, who
has carefully refrained from exercising
his privileges as a member Of the house,
pending the determination of the Dues
ton as to his right to a seat in the
house. arose from his old seat down
near the front of the Democratic side
and loudly asked for recognition,
Mr.. Speaker, Mr.. Speaker" he call
ed.
The speakers face was flushed slight
ly. but he looked straight ahead as If
he did not hear
Il ask unanimous consent to speak
for five minutes" shouted the general.
But the speaker discouraged him. Ev-
cry eye was now riveted upon the
diminutive figure Of the grizzled old
veteran of two wars.
The situation was intensely dramatic,
but Mr.. Payne. the floor leader of the
majority. hurried to the rescue. He
moved a recess for ten minutes
Pending that I ask for unanimous
consent to speak for three minutes
demanded Gen. Wheeler.
The speaker then turned toward him
for the first time and, looking straight
nored his request completely, putting
the motion of MIR. Payne, and declaring
it carried.
Gen. Wheeler tonight said:
Seeing there was nothing to be done
in the house 1 asked unanimous con-
sent to speak for five minutes. I was
not recognized, but Mr.. Payne was
notified to move a recess Of five min
utes. [ then asked that before that
motion was put be permitted to adj
dress the house for three minutes. If
the speaker had submitted my request,
l am confident no member Of the house
would have objected. What intended
to say was as follows:
mo one reveres the constitution more
than myself. and could not be induced
to advocate a construction contrary to
the intent of its trainers.
when I received the appointment as
major general of volunteers last May,
1 was requested by persons whose de-
SireS l could not disregard not to resign
my seat in congress. l found that dur
ing the present congress thirty-three of
it's members had been appointed to of
fees, and that none of them had re-
signed their seats in congress. 1 ex-
amined the decisions and precedents on
the subject. and found that during the
ITO years of the existence Of our gov
eminent hundreds and possibly thou
sands of members of congress had &C
cepted offices during their terms and
that none of them holding temporary
offices like mine had ever been unseat-
ed.
Il found that the decisions of courts.
even including four decisions quoted by
Gen. Henderson in his report. took the
ground that inhibitions found in con-
stitutions with regard to offices referred
to Offices of a permanent character and
not of a temporary character. I also
found that the attorney general Of the
United States had rendered an elabor-
ate opinion on the subject. in which he
took precisely the same ground and
held that an office in the volunteers
was not such an office as was inhibited
by the constitution.
81 was anxious for the matter to be
brought up in the house and fully dis
cussed so. that the decision would be
in harmony with the spirit Of the con-
stitution."

The addition of a provision to the

Among the important projects which
failed to receive favorable attention in
the closing days were those providing
Pacific cable, for a government ar

The navy personnel bill completely
reorganizes the navy, and is the con-
summation of years of earnest effort
by the navy department. The original
army bill was intended to meet the
same want for the army supplied to
the navy by the personnel bill, but it
failed, and the present bill is consid-
cred defective in that it is only a tenn
porary measure. 1t, however, increases
the army to 100000 men and provides
for the retention of this number until
