For the first time since May 81 the
directors Of the Board of Trade secured
quorum last night. The minutes of
all the meetings subsequent to that
date were approved and the action
taken was ratified.

night was the acceptance OF the resig-

The resignation is the outgrowth OF
friction between the secretary and
prominent members of the board, which
developed as far back as the month of
May. Neither Mr.. Thompson nor the
directors cared to discuss the matter
last night. 1t is understood, however,
that clashes have resulted upon more
than one occasion through differing
views as to the conduct of affairs Of the
board. 1t is further understood that
Mr.. Thompson has felt that he did not

M,NNEsoTAN TO BE DEPORTED.
Manila Editor Gets Into Difficulty
With Gen. Macarthur.


Manila, Jan. 25.-Gen. Macarthur
has ordered the deportation to the
United States of George T. Rice, edi-H
tor of the Daily Bulletin, marine
journal Rice will sail on the Penn
sylvania next Monday. The order
characterizes him as dangerous in
cendiary and menace to the military
situation" Rice's offense was the
publication of allegations that William
Braunersreuther, captain of the port
had charged excessive pilotage and
morage fees, a percentage OF which
he had kept for himself. The report
of Major Mills, inspector general, who
investigated the allegations, complete
ly exonerated the captain of the port
and indicted the editor and merchants
who had given the information and
who had ben misled by figuring rates
upon net instead of gross tonnage, the
latter being specified under Spanish
law. Rice was summoned to the office
of the governor general and was called
upon to promise he would publish no
more such articles. He declined to
give such pledge but insisted that the
article was truthful ali took up a def
ant attitude when threatened with de-
portation. The deportation order was
then issued, and Rice is now awaiting
the departure of the Pennsylvania.
When seen in jail he reiterated his
statement that the charges were true
and declared the severity of the SEN
tence was unmerited. Rice came orig
inally from Red Wing, Minnesota, and
was formerly a member of the Mime
sofa volunteers.

ENGLAND'S NEW KING.
AZ a Ax p. - ~ a. 8x ~ A

Albert Edward, till recently the
prince of Wales. now king of England,
is in his Goth year, having been born
at Buckingham palace. Nov. 8, 1871.
He was created prince of Wales and
earl of Chester by act of parliament
the month following. Other titles
have been granted him until he finally
held these names: Prince of Wales,
earl of Chester, prince Of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland,
Duke of Saxony, prince of Saxe-Co-
berg and Gotha, great steward Of
Scotland. duke of Cornwall and Roth
say, Baron Renfrew and lord of the
isles.
In addition to his numerous titles,
the prince held high military rank at
home and abroad, being personal
aid-de-cmp to the queen, field marshal
of the British army, colonel-in-chief of
the first and second life guards and
royal horse guards, colonel of the
tenth hussars, and honorary colonel of
numerous regular and militia regi-
ments. He holds the rank of field
marshal in the German army a d is
colonel of the twelfth regiment of hus-
sars in Austria.
Yet with all his military titles he
has never seen military service, his
| life being deemed of too great import
ance to the empire to be risked in the
fortunes of war.
! The prince of Wales lived an un-
eventful life, although he has Travelled
| much, having visited Canada, the
United States, and India, to say moth
ing of almost innumerable trips to the
several capitals of Europe.
In 1860 he crossed the Atlantic on
his first and only visit to the new
world, and after stay in Canada
visited the United States, being every
where received with enthusiasm. Two
years later he began his European
travels, visiting Germany, Italy
Egypt, Syria and Jerusalem.
The prince of Wales was married
March 10, 1863, to Princess Alexand
ria, eldest daughter of the king Of
Denmark In the years following hi;
marriage the prince continued his for
eign travels, visiting Denmark, Swed

leaving rich legacy for the ingenious
writer of romance.
He was suffering from cancer in the
stomach and was childess, but he
made his will not only in expectation
OF death but of birth, and aimed to
provide for the future offspring. His
heart was set upon leaving his name
and the bulk of his fortune to a son
but he considered the contingency OF
daughter and also of multiple birth.
and the instrument was so drawn as
to carry out his cherished purpose in
behalf of his oldest son." in case his
widow and his memory should be
blessed with one.
The farmer was gathered to his
fathers, and within a week the widow
gave birth to two boys 1t was duly
noted that the first born was marked
with a mole under the right shoulder
blade, which would serve to identify
him as the eldest son, and in the ex.
element of the occasion no further
observations were made 1t was af-
terward discovered by the nurse who
was bathing the twins that they not
only looked exactly alike, but each
had mole at the same spot beneath
the right shoulder blade, and by that
time she had so mixed those babies
up" that she no longer knew which
was the first born. Here was a how
de-do. Was the eldest son to be de-
prived if his birthright because his
distinguished mark failed to distin-
guish and the nurse had Numbered?
There seemed to be no way but OF con-
test the will in behalf of the heirs-at-
law, so that the twins might share and
share alike, but the testator had pre-
versely provided hat if the will
should be contested the person or per-
sons in whose interest action was
taken should be disinherited and the
property should go to certain chart
table institutions. This is the raw
material, and we leave the romancer
to work it up-New York Mail and
