Prince Henry Of Prussia Says the

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The Shanghai corre-

easy feeling regarding the relations Of Rus
sla and Japan is spreading here. There is
no doubt that Japan is practically allied
with China, despite the degradation which
the Empress dowager inflicted upon the
Chinese ENJOYS to Japan on their recent re-
turn. This was merely a tactical move,
with view of appeaslng Russia. A large
Russian fleet intends wintering in Naga-
saki harbor and some remonstrance by
Japan is probable. Prince Henry OF Prus-
sia, the commander OF the German squad
ron in the North Pacific, is watching the

INHERlTS VAST FORTUNE,
James Smith, who Has $4,000, 900,
Gets $5O,OOO,OOO from an Uncle.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-George Smith,
who died recently in London, was reputed
to be worth s5o.cOo,oO0. The bulk of this
vast fortune goes to James II. Smith. his
nephew.
James II. Smith has a modest fortune OF
his own of between 81, ,000,00 and s., COO 900,
but by his uncles will he goes into the
front rank of New York's multimillion-
aires. James III. Smith is now in London,
but he is expected back in this city next
week. He went abroad when the news of
his uncle's death was cabled him Oct T.
In Wall street James II. Smith is known as
''the silent man." For many years his
principal care has been the immense vested
wealth Of old George Smith. The dead
millionaire spent but the tiniest fraction of
his great income; all the rest was invested
and reinvested with the greatest care.
James III. Smith, a man o. about ffty-five
years, lives alone in the apartment house at
the corner of Fifth avenue and Thirtieth
street He has thousands of books, and
they are almost his sole amusement. When
he wants the society OF his fellowmen he
goes to his favorite club. the Union, and
chats with some of his friends there.

Arrested at New YOrk-One Registers
from Evansville.

NEW YORK. Nov. 12-Polce Captain De-
laney. of the East Thirty-fifth-stree sta
tion, to-day arrested three young women
whom he believes to be Western women
who have been working this city for some
time past They were registered at the
station house as Miss Mabel Ray, alias Mrs
James Bell, alias Mrs. j. w. Crouch, twenty
two years cid, of Chicago; Miss Mary Dor
is, twenty-four years old, of Evansville,
Ind; Miss Nettie Nelson, alias Mrs. Mollie
Mcclure, tweaty-six years old, of Memphis,
Tenn.
Captain Delaney discovered them last Fri
day. He was on his way up town in sur
face car when he overheard the women tell
ing of their recent coming to this city.
They used SO many expressions peculiar to
the criminal class that he followed them to
their boarding house He had the house
watched until to-day, when he and five
other officers surrounded the house and ar
rested the three women. In searching their
rooms the police found brass knuckles, a
revolver and a large number of pawn tick
cts, ranging in sums from $40 to $50. The
latter were for diamonds, rings. watches,
gole and silver plate. bottle of knock
cut drops was also found.
A large collection of clippings from Chi
cago newspapers was found. telling Of the
arrest and conviction of James Bell, the
husband of one of the women, and of crimes
OF other Western criminals. When ques-
toned at the station house the Nelson wom-
an said her home was in Roland, Mo-, and
the Ray woman said che came from Se-
dalia, Mo. The women were sent to police
headquarters as suspicious persons, and

A GOOD WORD FOR OTIS
Spoken by Col. Childers, of the First
Tennessee Regiment.


SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. r. = Colonel
Chiders. Of the Tennessee regiment, which
arrived from the Philippines Saturday, said
Il have very high regard for General
Otis and his ability as soldier and a
statesman He has held most difficult
position and I think he has handled it we'll
OF course he could have slashed In and laid
the islands waste with fire and sword, but
to do this without an effort first TO show
the natives that the United States wished to
give them fair, just and liberal govern
ment would have forever prevented AMIGA
BILE relations, and it would have become a
Question of determination and recoloniza-
ton. The islands are too far away for
such a policy, even IL humanity and self
interest did not forbid.
I'm my opinion a force OF 5000 to 100 900
men is needed to promptly and success
fully settle this war. This force will have
to be retained until those who are friend
ly and take the oath Of allegiance to the
United States are strong enough to pro-
tect themselves, otherwise the natives will
come down from the mountains. destroying
the lives and property of all who are
traitors as they would call them. L think
local affairs should, as far as possible, be
left in the hands of the natives"
Corporal l.. B. Price, Of the Tennessee
Volunteers, was killed shortly before the
regiment left the islands under peculiar
circumstances. He was subject to fits and
somnambulism and was in the habit of
sleeping with a red cloth around his head
to protect ii from insects. One night while
ASLEEP he wandered by the line and as he
was returning ne was mistaken for Fill

sinking and his stomach had refused food

grapes and the juice OF grape fruit. but it
soon appeared that his stomach was so con-
gested that he could not even take these.
Mr.. Hobart now spends most of his time
in a reclining position and he sleeps without
the aid of opiates. The most painful and
alarming feature of his illness has been his
attacks of nervousness as night approaches.
These attacks have decreased. Mrs

people seemed TO take the greatest inter-
est?" was asked.
Everything centered on trusts and i'm
perialism No other questions seemed 10

suit of the vote may mean. ii was pointed
at those questions Senator Hanna took one
side. the opposition the other. and II can
be said OF the senator that he did not hesi-
tate for one minute about making the issues
clear. The personality of the candidates
was lost sight of except in their home coun-
ties, and these two issues alone were con-
sidered. My conclusion. from the result of
the vote is that nearly 60 per cent. OF the
vote was cast against the issues as defined
by Senator Hanna. They were not made
effective in electing officers. but their mean
ing seems the same as they would have
been had the Democrats elected their
ticket"
