more imperatively necessary than was
realized by the country at large. Bows
who are Mllies and brutes in college
are not likely to develop remarkably

The MYSTERIOUS PRINCE.
Prince Raniit Has Arrived at Mon
treal on Way to New York.

New York, Nov. 6.--On his way to Wis
it this city the mysterious prince of IN
dia, who has thrown London into a fe-
yer of curiosity concerning his identity,
has arrived at Montreal with his reti-
rue of twenty eight native servants
and a dancing girl, and it is expected
that his coming here will not be long
delayed.
The prince arrived at Montreal on the
Lake Simcoe Sunday evening, having
left Liverpool Oct. "a. and with his dan
cling girl and five retainers went to the
Windsor hotel. The others of his retinue
We're sent to the other hotels AS to his
identity this entry appears in the list
of passengers:
His Highness. Prince Ranjit of Ba-
luchistan and retinue.
Prince Ranjit is married. His wife is
an Englisnwoman, who is now living
incognito in New York, hence. it is be-
lieved this is the real objective of his
trip.
London has been suffering for weeks
from an acute attack of curiosity fe-
yer" concerning the young Indian
prince. His visit was not officially rec
ognized, and all attempts by the press
and public to discover the identity of
the prince and his mission proved futile.
1t is now said that the mysterious
travellers name and title are Prince
Joeranjut, prince OF Kurachi. and that
he is the son and heir of the rajah of
Baiuchistan. He is Of average height
and "a years old. His complexion is
swarthy and his hair beard and mus
tache perfectly black. He has beauti-
full teeth and small, sparkling, sympa-
thetic eyes. lie betrays considerable
nervousness and physical weakness,
and is evidently anxious to- avoid pubic
observation.
The tour of the prince, it IS stated,
was first suggested by the rajah, who
was most anxious that his son should
acquire practical knowledge of the
world and its civilized nations.

NEW ELECTRIC INVENTION.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 5.--A new system
of operating electric street railways,

clan named Milbury, this state. Ii con-
sists of q row of square iron boxes i'm
bedded in the street between the tracks
and fed by an underground current, m
geniously cut off when not in use, and
the power taken up by shoe on the
car. The boxes may be placed at a dis
tance of ten feet, If desired, and 1t has
been illustrated that there is TO danger
to horse or man in crossing or coming
in contact With them.
For several months experiments have
been going on in the vicinity OF the car
barns of the Milhury and Blackstone
electric road in Milbury, where a long
piece OF track has been laid and an
equipment of iron boxes placed between
the rails. surrounded with half a dozen
kinds of paving ard street construction

there any disposition on the part of the
administration to unduly hasten this
event.
Both governments are agreed upon
every detail, IN fact of every word, of
the new treaty. The notes and views
which have been exchanged are of
course not as binding as would be the

they have so clearly defined the posi-

tabished such an absolute agreement

that any new diplomatic obstacle will
arise. The only question remaining to

States has given a quid pro quo for the
consent of Great Britain to the abroga-

TREASON NOT TO BE coNDoNED.
Filipinos Must Not BE Aroused by In.
famtnatcry Orators.

Manila, Nov. 5.-There was discus
SION before the Philippine commission
yesterday regarding the draft of the act
against treason and sedition. Many
prominent Filipinos were present. Vice
Governor Wright explained the object OF
the bill, saying that the Spanish code
Was unsatisfactory.
There are number of people living
IL, the Philippines remarked Mr..
Wright, who so long as there is no
punishment for treason, will take ad-
vantage of the fact 20 clog the wheels of
the insular government. 1t must not be
overlooked that turbulent spirits exist
Ia the pacifed provinces. The masses of
TIE people are susceptible, inaammatory
and liable to be influenced by scheming
demagogues. 1t would be inexcusable
weakness on the part OF the commission
to allow the people. to be aroused to
deeds of violence who are now gradually
drifting TO the pursuits of peace.
THE recent renewed attempts at in
aurrection in the island of Samar, the
province of Batangas, Luzon, and at a
few other points, due TO noisy Filipino
agitators, have caused feeling of un-
rest in the minds OF Fiiipinos and Amer
leans and the effect of their continuance
would be to make impossible the very
things these agitators claim they most
desire Such endeavors serve to recruit
the ranks of the insurgents and to post
pone the era of good feeling and fellow
ship which must come.
No excuse exists for secret political
organizations. Their intent must be evil.
No matter what may have been the
opinions of the Filipinos regarding the
sovereignty of the American govern
nent the fact remains that the Ameri-
cans are here, and. moreover, here they
intend to stay"
The bill was then read in Spanish.
Senior Sabell Reyes. the Spanish jour-
ralist who has been here for several
weeks, said he was opposed to the bill
and objected generally to the imposi-
ton of the death penalty for political
crimes He suggested that persons COM
hitting the offenses against which the
bill was aimed should be deported to The
}United States and declared that italy,
and Portugal had enacted the most rea-
sonable existing laws dealing with the
matters under consideration.
( Commissioner Worcester asked him if
he considered the killing OF king Hum
bert a political crime. Senor Reyes said:
Nothing political is criminal" Vice
Governor Wright asked him if he con-
sldered the Killing or President Mckin-
ley criminal act. Senor Reyes said:

is no such thing as a political crime.

dered him to take his seat

Senor Bautista. at one time president
of the so-called Filipino congress, said
