DIssoLUTE PRINCE HENRY
Would Be Mobbed, 1t Is Said, If He
Appeared In Public.

Would Be Mobbed, 1t Is Said, If He
Appeared In Public.
New York, Dec. 7.-Prince Henry
has not appeared in public since the
recent disclosures in regard to the
domestic troubles in the court of The
Netherlands. If he did, he would Ger.
tainly be mobbed, says the correspon-
dent of The World at The Hague.
His picture has been withdrawn
from the kinemotograph exhibitions in
the music halls throughout Holland
owing to fiery demonstrations of an.
ger it provoked.
The first printed accusations against
Prince Henry appeared in the Rhen-
ish press, bordering the Dutch from
tier. He was charged bluntly with
neglect and drunkenness. Homeric ca
rousals are still kept up, traditional
in the German military set of junior
officers. The young queen now looks
shockingly bad. 1t is said she shuts
herself up alone for hours together
in her apartment, when, it is believed,
she passes the time crying over her
troubles, but no one has ever seen
her cry in public. Her pride is over
mastering. Those who are acquainted
with her character and temperament
declare that she will never forgive
her husband and will not long endure
her present position.

NEW LINE OF STEAMERS.
They Will PLY Between Frisco, Ha-
wall and the PHILIPPINES.


San Francisco, Dec. 1.-THE cham
ber of commerce of this city has ap-
pointed a committee to consider ways
and means for encouraging a direct
American line of steamers to the Phil
ippines.
The treasury department has ruled
that by the recent Philippines deci-
sion of the supreme court shipments
may not be made to the islands in for
eign bottoms, as it would be in VIOLA
ton Of the statute providing that coast
wise trade must be carried on in YES
sells of United States register under
penalty of forfeiture of the shipment.
The Tokyo, Kisen Kaisha and Occi-
dental and Oriental steamship lines
are thus debarred from handling Phil
ippine shipments, even though trans
ferred to them from American ships
for AsiaIic ports.
In view of the supreme court deci-
sion, it is authoritatively reported
that the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany will start a new line of steam
ers to ply between the Philippines,
Hawaii and San Francisco. Captain
B. Seabury will start for the east next
week for Newport News to bring out
the first boat of the line, the steamer
Corea, of 10000 tons.

letter from Joseph Michaels, of Yap

probable loss at sea of her husband,
Captain David D. O'Keefe, and the
fact that he had left property worth

Oriental trade as King OKeefe, of
Yap," which island he virtually own

Yap, 80 years ago, the canntbal ma
tives thought him demi-god on ac-
count of his white skin and made him
their king. He built up a profitable
trade to Hong Kong and owned two
barks that traded between Caroline
and Chinese ports. Last June he went
to Hong Kong with copra and other
native products, from whicn point he
sent his wife, in this city, a check
for $1,000. After leaving Hong Kong
his vessel disappeared and is supposed
to have been lost in a storm.

SPECULATION RUNS
RIOT IN WINDY CITY
Record Prices Topped In the
Chicago Grain Pit.
VERY STRONG BULL MOVEMENT

Country Orders for Wheat DeIuge the
Commission Houses-Brokers Say
the Country Has Gone Speculation
Mad.
Chicago, Dec. 7.-Speculation on the
board of trade was on the rampage to-
day. Once more record prices in all
grains were topped and bull enthusi-
asm ran from pit to pit, setting all
traders in a fever of excitement. The
conditions back of the upward whirl
of prices were almost identical with
those that started the strong bull
movement here Wednesday and Thurs
day
Although the visiting stockmen are
rapidly leaving the city, many of them
are still buying. Country orders, espe-
cially for wheat, deluged the commits
sion houses this morning before trade
opened. Added to this big demand,
however, was a new and powerful bull
incentive, that of capitalistic specula-
tion. Prominent brokers say that the
country has gone speculation mad, and
that men who usually dabble in stocks
are turning to grain.

Douglasville, Ca, Dec. THE
vault and safe of the DougIasviIle

and the robbers got away with fully
$4,000 in cash.

Woman Told Committee She Could
Locate Nellie Cropsey's Body.
Elizabeth City, N. c., Dec. IA
woman clairvoyant from a distant
town came here and went to the Crop
sey house early yesterday morning,
telling the family she could unfold all
the mystery attending the disappear
ance of Nellie. While she was in a
supposed trance members of the COM
mittee of five visited the house. The
clairvoyant told them she could take
them to an old we'll over 10 miles
away, where the body of the girl was
hidden. She led the committee and
several others, including two New
York reporters, after 20 or 25-mile
ride, to two old wells, where nothing
was found.
The report of woman's body being
washed ashore at New Begun creek
and at Sand Hills proved to be un-
true.
Jim Wilcox, the accused young man,
is supposed to be still at his uncle's
farm, about II miles from town. Pub
lie feeling is very much against him
and is increasing.

Netherlands Affair a Subject
Of Much Comment.
SYMPATHY FOR wILHELMINA

Hollands Scandal May Have Grave
Political Consequences for Europe,
Hence Its Developments Are Closely
Followed by Statesmen.
London, Dec. THE domestic in
felicities of European royal ties have
never come so prominently before the
public as have today the difficulties of
Queen Wilhelmina of The Neither
lands, the dramatic circumstances of
which form some of the chief topics
of conversation.
The romantic halo surrounding the
young queen and the keen interest ta-
ken in her marriage only help to con-
centrate public curiosity and sympa-
thy. Moreover, it is realized that HOl-
lands scandal may have grave politi-
cal consequences for Europe, and
hence it's developments are followed
closely by statesmen. While those
best fitted to judge incline to the be-
lief that it will all blow over for the
present, there is grave apprehensions
for the future.
From a personal point of view Eng
land is more deeply concerned in the
scandal going on in Hesse, where one
Of Queen Victoria's granddaughters is
on the verge of separation from her
husband. This youthful marriage
the grand duchess was only 18 when
she exchanged her British title for a
continental one-has proved to be one
of the most unsatisfactory among all
the royal matches, and the climax, 1t
is believed, would have been reached
ere this had it not been for the late
Queen Victoria's imperious influence.
Tn Dnke of Edinburgh's other
daughter, the crown princess of Rou-
mania, according to common reports,
also leads a none too happy marital
existence, though recent rumors of an
open rupture are met with strenuous
offici denial However, no one in
England would be surprised to hear
that she is figuring in role similar
to that of her sister, the Grand Ouch
ess of Hesse.
Then there are scandals going on
in the courts of Belgrade and Lisbon,
but these have been so long before
the public eye as to need no comment.

MANUFACTURING IN ALABAMA.
Wonderful Increase Is Shown by the
Census Figures.

Washington, Dec. THE final re.
port on the manufacturing statistics
of Alabama issued by the census bu.
reau shows a capital of 70,370, ,081
and value of products $82,793,804, an
increase since 1890 of So and 81 per
cent, respectively. During this Pc
riod the population increased 1877 per
cent and the number of wage earners
in manufacturing industries 972 per
cent.
The rapid growth of these industries
in Alabama during the last 25 years Is
due to the utilization Of the states
rich mineral resources. The prod.
ucts in the steel and iron manufac'
lures, the most important of the states
industries, were valued in 1900 at ST..
392, ,483, an increase Of SO per cent
since 1890. Lumber and timber man
ufactures and cotton goods manufac'
lures rank second and third.

HALO OF HEVELIUs.
