Chicago, Nov. 20. Princess Sophia
Banda Dhuleep Singh, daughter of
the late Maharaja Dhuleep Singh OF
India, entered the womans medical
college of the Northwestern univer-
sity in Lincoln street, Monday and at
tended her first classes as q fresh
man smedic." She recently reached
New York from London and was there
supposed to be en- route to India
going with more or less secrecy be-
cause of the British governments re-
ported opposition to her visiting the
land of her forefathers.
The princess, however, says she had
NO such intention. She came to carry
out long-cherished project to be-
come physician. According to her
present plans, she will remain here
four years-the length of the pre-
scribed course. Because of trouble
with the government Maharaiah
Dhuleep Singh, father of Princess
Sophia, was not wanted in India by
the British authorities and was placed
under arrest, it is said, while yoyag-
ing back home and sent to England.
where he was under espionage. This
accounts for the secrecy of the prin-
cess movements and her failure to
visit India as was said to be her de-
sire.

The Fog was Very Dense
The fog at early morning was SO
thick that persons standing on the
sidewalk could scarcely distinguish
street cars passing within few feet
of them, and motormen kept their
gongs changing q constant warning.
The collision on the Metropolitan
was between trains going the same
way, as was the case in other acci-
dents. Both trains were crowded,
many passengers standing on the rear
platforms. On the first train these
were almost the only ones to suffer.
The motorman slowed up going round
a curve, and while waiting for a sig
nal to increase speed, the Humboldt
Park express train crashed into the
rear. That was almost the only warn
ing the passengers on the rear plat
form had Of the approaching express.

QUOTED FAMILY WAR RECORD

indianapolis, Ind, March 2S.-The
last public act of ex-President Harri-
son was to pen a vigorous protest
against the action of the national
administration in discharging his
son. Col. Russell Il. Harrison. from
the army and refusing him the cour-
tesy OF a court of inquiry In a letter
written less than two weeks before
he died. to a prominent Washington
official, Gen. Harrison wrote:

war of independence and has had its
representatives in every war since in
which this country has been engaged.

The Fifty Sixth Congress.

The record of the Fifty-sixth CON
gress is completed, and it is not an
enviable one. For extravaganza it
has never been equaled, and no pre-
viOus congress has ever shown any
thing like the contempt for American
principles and traditions. The re-
publican party i'll 1896 promised in
ternational bimetalism and this con
gress redeemed the promise by retir-
ing the greenbacks and giving the
country as large dose of the gold
standard as it thought the patient
was able to bear.
1t has fastened a large army upon
the United States-an army larger
than the president would have been
willing to defend during the late cam
paign.
1t has violated the solemn promise
made to Cuba and demanded a SUI
pervisiOn of Cuban affairs which
amount to a denial of Independence
1t has conferred upon the president
authority over the Philippines as I'M
limited, as arbitrary and as tyran
meal as George III ever exercised
over the cOlonists.
In addition to its sins OF commits
sion it has sins of omission to an
sWer for.
1t has failed to respond to the de-
mand OF the wage-earners for relief
in the way of shorter hours and it
has neglected to abolish government
by injunction.
1t has refused to give the people
any relief from extortionate railroad |
rates and has declined to enact anti
trust legislation, although a billion
dollar trust was organized while it |
was in session.
1t has repudiated the party prom
Use in regard to the inter-oceanic ca
nal. For years the republicans adj
vocated the Nicaragua canal; in
1900 they substituted an endorse
ment OF an Isthmian canal, but the
railroad lines have |
sufficient influence with the repub-
llcan party to prevent its carrying
out any canal project.
1t has failed to recognize the desire
of the people for election of senator's
by popular vote; and it would have
committed the country to the infa-
nous ship subsidy legislation but for
the hlibustering resorted TO by the
democrats, populists and silver re-
publicans. A fifty million dollars
river and harbor bill was also defeat
ed by a few filibusters led by Senator
Cater of Montana.
This is the record-nOt all of it.
