New York. December 9.-Prlnce
Henry has not appeared in public since
the recent disclosure In regard to the
domestic troubles in the court of the
Netherlands. II he did he would GER
tainly be mobbed, says the correspond
ent of the World at The Hague. His
picture has been withdrawn from the
kaleidoscope exhibitions in the music
halls throughout Holland owing to the
fiery demonstrations of anger 1t pro-
voked.
The first printed accusations against
Prince Henry appeared in the Rhenish
press, bordering the Dutch frontier. He
was charged bluntly with neglect and
drunkenness. Homeric carousals are
still kept up, traditional in the Ger
man military set of junior officers,
with whom Prince Henry graduated
and saw service. They think it attests
their manhood to get helplessly drunk
at dinner, and the German newspapers
accused Queen Wilhelmina's husband
of frequently observing this genial
custom after his marriage.
The young queen, heretofore the
pink of active. graceful. robust woman
hood, now looks shockingly bad. 1t is
said she shuts herself up alone for
hours together in her apartment when

Washington, December 9.-The an
nual report of Prof Willis L. Moore,
chief of the United States weather bur-
eau, says substantial improvements
have been made during the past year
in the weather bureau system of wire
less telegraphy. Such progress has
been made by the government expert
ments that, with no interference by
private systems, stations can be sue
cessfully operated over at least $50
miles of coast line and are now in op-
GRAFTON along the Virginia and North
Carolina coasts and soon will be instl-
tuted between the Earrallon islands
and the mainland and the Tatoosh is
lands and the mainland on the Pa
cific coast
An important extension of the fore
cast work of the bureau was made dur
ing the year, whereby meteorological
reports from certain points in the Brit
ish isles. the continent of Europe and
from the Azores are transmitted to
Washington and with observations
from Nassau, Bermuda and Turks is
lands are regularly published on the
weather maps, together with forecasts
of the wind and the state of the wealth
er for the first three days out of steam
ers bound eastward.
The cotton region service has been
extended into Oklahoma and the In
dian Territory and arrangements have
been made for beginning a similar
work in California. to be known as the
fruit and wheat service.
Prof. Moore points with pride to the
complete system of the weather bureau
and for the accurate and complete COL
lection and dissemination of crop in
formation, having large number of
paid employees and volunteer observers
and $4,000 persons reporting weekly
to central points on the effect of the
weather upon crops in their respective
localities Forecasts are distributed
by rural free delivery to nearly $4,000
families.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE great
est convention of representatives OF
organized labor ever held in the world.
comprising nearly 300 accredited dele
gates from labor bodies having to-
tai membership of over one and half
millions of wage workers met yester-
day morning in the second days ses-
sion.
A number of important contests are
before the credentials committee, which
is trying to pour oil on the troubled
waters
There seems great satisfaction with
the action of the convention extend
ing liberality to the mine workers and.
RENTING their $4,000 per capita tax.
The negro question was one of the
important matters settled by this ses-
sion. 1t was brought forward on the
objection of seating Delegate William
e. Scale from a tobacco workers un-
ion in Virginia and which admits ne
gro members. 1t appears that the
Richmond central body refused to adj
NIT the membership of negro work
ingmen belonging to colored tobacco
workers unions in Richmond. Henry
Fischer president of the National To-
bacco Workers Union, was instructed
by two local colored unions of Rch-
mond to oppose the seating of Scale
on the ground that the organization
he represented drew the color line
The committee recommended that he
be seated and also recommended that
the executive board OF the American
Federation of Labor be instructed to
form separate negro central union in
Richmond. The recommendations
were accepted by the convention, and
this is taken to settle matter which
it was possible might prove danger
GUS and irritating question in the
Southern States. President Gompers
is arranging to form an organization
to take an active part in the fight for
the re-enactment of the Chinese ex-i
clusion act.

Galveston, Texas, December "a
church bell weighing two and half
tons will be hung at 8 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon at the new st. Patriclls
church, which is now about completed.
The bell is said to be the largest in the
South, and it is about a ton heavier
than any other bell in this city. 1t
was cast in Cincinnati. Ohio. and ar
rived here during the early part of the
week. Bell metal now costs "a cents
per pound and 1t can therefore be seen
that the cost of a bell Weighing 5000
pounds must be considerable. St Pat
rick's church parish is the largest in
point of territory covered in the city,
and it was this reason that such a
large bell was ordered. Appropriate
ceremonies will be observed at the
hanging of the bell tomorrow after
noon. Bishop Gallagher will bless the
bell, and Rev Father Kirwin will de-
liver the grafton.

ing him with manslaughter, in that he
was responsible for and aided in the

the fishing sloop James X Polk, be-
longing to Austin Depuy father of the
girl, which was anchored in Great Kills
Inlet. There they were found late on
the night of July 81. Both we're
wounded and the girls wounds were
mortal.
Remarkable speed marked the trail.
The father and brother of the girl tes-
titled to finding the girl, and Treetz
was put on the stand in his own de-
Tense. He says he was not in the
cabin when the girl shot herself.
About dark he went on the deck for
smoke. He was there about fiye
minutes when he heard a shot in the
cabin and, dropping down. found tho
girl lying apparently dead. The pis-
tol was in her right hand and bull
let hole in her neck at the front He

BIG OIL CONTRACT.
FIVE MILLION BARRELS SOLD
TO A ST. LOUIS COMPANY.
The Contract OF Sale Materially widens
tho Market for One of Texas staple
Products--A Thousand Tank Cars Are
Being Built to Handle 1t.

Beaumont, Texas, December Mr..
John D. Cameron, the local represent
alive of the Equitable Land and Oil
company of St. Louis. received a tele-
gram from the Noel Brown Broker
company of st. Louis tonight stating
that deal had been closed whereby
the Equitable Land and Oil company
disposes of 100000 barrels of Beau
mont oil to st. Louis parties, the oil
going to st. Louis.
The telegram states that the price
paid was 20 cents per barrel at the
wells. The Equitable Land and Oil
company has four gushers in the field
at present and four more wells being
drilled on gusher territory.
While the order is large one, it
also widens the market for oil, and in
this respect 1t means much to the
field. The company will be amply
able to care for such an order, since
it has just contracted for 100000
barrels of tankage and loading racks
on the Southern Pacific and the Kan
sas City Southern railways. The COM
pany has also ordered 1000 tank cars
for its own use. Eve hundred of these
cars will come from the American
Car and Foundry company of St Louis,
and will have capacity of 200 barrels
each. The other 500 cars are ordered
from the American Steel Car Company.
They will carry 300 barrels each, hav-
ing nearly twice the capacity of the
cars now in use in the field. The
first shipment of these cars 100 in
number, is expected to arrive about
December II.

From the Chicago Journal)
He had just received change for SO from
the conductor after paying his fare on
the Cottage Grove Avenue grip car and
showed he was not accustomed to United
States money. After figuring on it for
several moments until the attention of the
passengers and gripman was attracted
TO his embarrassment, he seemed as much
puzzled as ever.
Better put that money away or some
one viii take care of it for you, advised
the gripman, in kindly tone
The conductor didn't give me the
roight change" the man replied, plainly
revealing his nationality.
The conductor happened along at that
time and was at once informed of the
trouble. The two counted over the mon
cv and the sum was found to be right,

taking a half-dOllar for quarter.

subjects, the lrishman telling his eNpe-
