HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS
TALKS FOR PUBLICATION
First Authentic Interview With the
Eldest Son of Queen Victoria
That Has Been Published.


That Has Been Published.
LONDON, Jan. II, Friday-The fol-
lowing is the substance of an interview
with the Prince of Wales which is to
appear shortly in London magazine.
There is every reason to believe it is
absolutely genuine and it is believed the
first interview in which his royal high
ness has been directly quoted:
"a correspondent who has been priv
ileged to meet the Prince of Wales on
more than one occasion had an Interview
with England's future king at Marlbor-
ough house, his royal highness' London
residence some days ago. The prince
talked with great frankness regarding
himself and his views regarding the fu-
ture.
HE IS A BUSY MAN.
If anyone ever deserved the appella-
ton of busy man. the prince does,
and there are few city merchants Or
business men who work harder than he
does. The public has no idea of the
quantity of work he gets through with
in the course of day. It is only by
following most methodical arrange
ment that he is able to do so much as
he does in the time. AS a matter of
fact, all his engagements Are made
weeks, and sometimes months, ahead
and every hour, almost every minute, is
mapped out for him.
When the correspondent was ushered
into his study at Marlborough house,
| the prince was seated at an old fashioned
pedestal writing desk, the fac simile of
| the one used by his father, the late
Prince Censor, which was piled high
with documents of all descriptions. He
/ wore black morning coat and vest,
dark grey trousers, square fronted collar.
with white spotted black bow tie and
patent leather shoes and in his fingers
he held the inevitable cigar. His greet

i merely like an elderly business man. srniI-
ing kindly welcome to some young and
| daring intruder.
"Well, what do you want me to say?,

as the preliminary greetings were over
The correspondent launched forth his

the numerous public dinners which the

cZoLeosZ' BODY COOKED.
4 Mistake Was Made by Scientists and
the Remains Are In Plaster of
Paris Cast.

New York, Nov. 2.-Prof. r. Ogden
Doremus, of the college of the city
Of New York, made an explanation
of the way in which the mistake was
made in the burial of Czolgosz, the as
sassin. 1t was intended to fill the
grave with quicklime, so that the
body in a short time would be de-
stroyed. Five barrels of the lime
we're emptied into the grave, but a
quantity of sulphuric acid, or vitriol,
and large amount of water were al
SO added. The water and quicklime
would. according to Prof. Doremus,
produce heat sufficient literally to
cook the body; then the sulphuric
acid and quicklime would form a
harmless plaster of paris. Therefore,
rrof. Doremus says. the body is now
roasted and incased in a plaster of
paris cast, and by no means de-
stroyed as it should have been. Nor
is IL likely to be destroyed,

Buffalo, N. V, Nov. 2.-Drs. Fowler.
Gregg and Putnam, the specialists who
were requested by District Attorney
Penney to examine into the mental
condition of Leon +. Czolgosz, the as.
sassin of the president, have made
public their report in which they state
as the result of frequent >examina.
tions of Czolgosz, of the report>of his
watchers, and of his behavior in cotirt,
that they concluded that he was sane
at the time he planned the murder,
when he shot the president and when
he was on trial.
His first examination was but Few
hours after the commission of the
crime and while he was still unin.
formed of the fate of the victim. Dur
ing the first three examinations Cool
gosz answered questions unhesitating-
ly. After that, however, he became
more cautious and less communion
tive. He had common school educa-
tiQn, his reports say, and read and
wrote We'll. During the, first days
examination he said he planned kill
ing the president three or four days
after he came to Buffalo. The re-
port them recites, in Czolgosz' own
words, the assassin's story of the
murder of President Mckinley. 1.-THE
sanity of Czolgosz was held" the re-
port says, "from the history % his
life as it came from him. He had been
sober, Industrious and law-abi1ing,
till he was 81 years of age, he was, as
others of his class, believer in the
government of this country, and of
the religion of his fathers,
after he cast his first vote he made
the acquaintance of anarchistic lead
ers who invited him to their meetings.
He was a good listener. and in n short
time he adopted their theories. He
was consistent in his adherence to
anarchy. He did not believe in mar
riage, because he did not believe in
law. He killed the president because
he was a ruler, and Czolgosz believed
as he was taught that all rulers we're
tyrants; that to kill ruler would
benefit the people. He refused "A law
yer because he did not believe in
law, lawyers or courts. We came to
the conclusion that in the holding of
these views Czolgosz was sane, be-
cause these opinions were formed
gradually under the influence Of an
archistic leaders and propagandists In
Czolgosz they found willing and in
telligent tool. who had the courage
of his convictions, regardless of per-
sonal consequences"

TREATY. NAY AGAIN FAIL.
Kntimation That Great Britain Has
Jade No Such Canal Concessions
as Newspapers Predict. ~
LIKELY TO DiSAPpOIaT THE SENATE,
Which Lord Pauncefote Brought from
London saturday win Not Meet with
Americas Approval. as the Monroe Doc
trine Is In No Way Reaffirmed.

New York, Nov. 1.-The British
ambassador, Lord Pauncefote, who
landed in New York Saturday, had
with him draft of the new Nicara-
qua canal treaty which is agreeable
to Salisbury and his cabinet. The al
legation contained in some of the
British papers which say Lord Lans,
downe has tamely given up inherent
rights without any return is siren
uously denied. What is perhaps more
interesting even than the reasons
prompting Great Britain to send over
Lfd Pauncefote with his draft of n
tfaty is the fact that inner circles
the British cabinet are not nearly
80 sure Of acceptance of the conven-
ton as are some of the leading pa
pers on both sides of the water.
When the full terms are announced,
1t is feared that some members of the
senate may still find objections and
that the forecasts so far published
alleging sweeping concessions" on
the part of Great Britain may have a
deleterious action. For instance, the
deduction that the proposed treaty
in any way reaflirms or extends the
scope of the Monroe doctrine meets
with direct denial by the London
Office. For these and other reasons
Lord Pauncefote is not likely to affix

There has lately emanated private
rumor that the Suez Canal company
is using influence to prevent an agree
ment being reached in regard to the
Nicaragua canal. II has be'n further
reported that this powerful corpo-
| ration has joined hands with several
Heading American interests alleged to
opposed to the construction of
the latter waterway. Investigations
carried on here and elsewhere reveal
that there is no evidence of such
Vaccinations by the Sue2 company,
though the head of one of the British
state departments admitted that the
Nicaragua canal would probably rob
the Suez canal of all it's far eastern
trade. The British government is the
largest stakeholder in the Suez canal,
but it does not APPEAR tha, financial
interest ever entered into the discus
sions Of the Nicaragua canal, the con-
siderations involved therein being re-
garded as so paramount to any pos
sible loss of future dividends from the
Suez Canal company as to be I'M
worthy of being coupled with the sub
ject.

DESPERATE KANSAS BURGLARS.
Blew Up Depot, Burned a Barn, Fought
Citizens and Fifteen Horses
Burned to Death.

Larned, Kan, October 3l.-Safe
blowers visited Larned at about l
o'clock this morning and blew open
the safe at the Santa Fe depot, using
an overcharge of nitroglycerine, COM
pletely demolishing the safe and the
office room OF the depot. There was
some $500 in the safe, but the force
OF the explosion drove the cash box
through the floor and into acesspool
beneath the building, and also top
pied the safe over in such manner
as to cover the aperture, thus pre-
venting the cash being gotten at.
Before blowing the safe, the robbers
set fire to Shull's livery barn, which,
with its contents, hundreds OF bushels
ofgrain, several tons of hay, ten bug
gies and fifteen head of horses, was
burned; estimated loss, $4,000.
That the robbers were desperate
characters is evidenced by their ap-
parent willingness to add murder to
their other crime. They shot to kill.
One bullet fired at Station Agent
Garvey, who, though unarmed, was
trying to drive them away by halloo-
ing through the office window, pass
ed through the dining room door OF
Capt. j. r. Basiger's residence and
crashed into sideboard containing
the family silver and chinaware, com
pletely demolishing several costly
pieces.
Day Operator George Thomas also
had a narrow escape, being fired at
twice. The display of firearms and
their free use of them made it posi-
BILE for them to escape, as citizens
who went to the scene were unarmed,
as they had left their homes to go to
fire not to fight robbers.
