The itinerary of Prince Henry has been announced and includes, in addi- tion to New York and Washington, Chicago, St Louis, Milwaukee, Niagara Falls and Boston. An attache of the German embassy said the other day: Surely the prince must learn what made Milwaukee famous" Apropos of the princes visit and the difficulties which beset the newspaper men in procuring the news demanded by their editors and the consequent troubles of the ambassador, the following is worthy of relation. One of the ser wants of the German embassy was sent to the state department on an errand and some one asked him if there were any newspaper men about the embassy these days. The question set him off. eThese news reporters-they drive me crazy. Just think-the other night the ambassador is out at dinner, and I heard the bell ring hard, about 12 o'clock. I think the ambassador has forgotten his key. hustle down, open the door few inches. and peep out; the man pushes it open-and 1t is 9 news reporter from the New York Sum- He says he wants to know about Prince Henry. give you my word it wasn't more than a minute until the boss comes home and finds me there with him.

Texas Lawyer Says Rice and Ac-
 cused Man Never Met.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Captain James A. Baker of Houston, Tex. member of law firm that for forty years was counsel to the late William Harsh Rice, an aged millionaire, whose murder Albert T. Patrick is accused Of, was called as witness yesterday al the trial of Patrick before Recorder Golf. Captain Baker said Patrick had been an attorney opposed to Rice in tha litigation following bequests of mil. lions by Mrs. Rice which MT. Rice claimed as his property. Once Patrick offered Baker $350,O to settle the lit. gatfon. The offer was spurned.
 After Rice's death Captain Baker said he was astounded to find Patrick in charge of the old millionaire's af. fairs He told Patrick that Rice had often expressed an intense bitterness toward him because of Patrick's part in the litigation
 The witness swore that to the best oi his knowledge Rice and Patrick had never met.
 captain Baker at the afternoon ses. sion of the court said Patrick told him that he (Patrick) had met Rice through newspaper advertisement and that they had reached an understanding and as result the aged millionaire was to make Patrick residuary legatee of his estate, exacting a promise that Patrick would give part of the fortune to charitable institutions and exploit R1ce's name as a philanthropist. Pat rick said, however, that he was to get nine-tentbs of the estate unconditional. Iy, according to Captain Bakers story.

 The friends of the Nicaraguan canal have received another setback. The president has forwarded to congress the last report of the Isthmian canal commission recommending the pur- chase of the Panama property. The story has been circulated that the Go lombian government would place ob- stacles in the way of constructing the canal through its territory, but Senor Don Carlos Silva, the Colombian min- ister to the United States, assures me that such is not the case, that his gov ernment is anxious that the canal should be constructed at Panama and will in every way facilitate the plans of the United States.

MISSING COINS OF 1904.

There is something curious about the American silver dollar and half dollar of the coinage of 1804," said q well known numismatist of this city. "In that year something like 10000 of the dollars were coined, but 1t is q singu- lar fact, as is now known, that not one of them was known to be in cir culation. Yet the most precious of all American coins are two 1894 dol lars which are in well known collec- tions. They are valued at $2,00O each.
 "It has been determined to the sat isfaction of every numfsmatist that these two dollars were not coined until 1928, although they were struck from the original 1894 die. They were se- cretly made although such a proce- dure is a penal offense-for some one high in influence and authority, who desired them for certain coin collec- tfons. It has never been positively ascertained how the surreptitious work was accomplished, but there is no doubt that 1t was done.
 s'Why the dollar of 1904 was never seen in circulation after leaving the mint is one of the unsolved govern ment mysteries.
 A still greater mystery surrounds the half dollar of 1904. Of that coin nearly 100000 were struck. Not one was ever discovered in circulation. The quarter dollars of 1904 are nu- merous enough-so plentiful, in fact, that fair specimen can be bought for So. and their coinage amounted to 1000 pieces.
 "A curious thing has been discov- cred regarding the half dollar of 1895, which is not rare coin, except in the case of those possessing the rare cu- riosity I speak of. which increases the value tenfold. This is that the figure 5 in 1905 has been stuck over figure A. showing that the coin was really one of the undiscovered minting of 1894.
 ssWhat became of the large issue of 1894 half dollars? No one knows or ever will know: but it is evident that all of them were not issued from the mint, and this belief that there was some reason for not desiring the coin to circulate is strengthened by the mint oblfterating the date on what was left by making 1905 half dollars of them.
 ssThere was no silver dollar issued from the mint in 1895, yet 321 were coined. and are in the hands of collec- tors today. just as they came from the die. No dollars were coined by the government after that until 1886"

Much interests, says correspondent, ings of the fourth annual convention of the Interstate National Guard asso- ciation. The organization is com posed of the adjutant-generals and the prominent officers of the National Guard from all over the country. In view of Secretary Roots recommenda- ton for bill whereby the National Guard might be made more effective in time of war, the deliberations of the convention are deemed of special inn portance. In the absence of Secretary Root, Assistant Secretary Sanger ad- dressed the convention on the day that it assembled, the response being made by General Charles Dick of Ohio. General Reese of Illinois being unable to be present, General Barry of Ne braska was elected president pro tenn. The convention drafted bill which it will forward to congress with the statement that, in the mind of the convention, its passage will prove most effective in producing the end sought by Secretary Root. The bill provides for the uniform organization, discipline and armament of the militia of all the states and territories and confers on the president the authority to call out the National Guard whenever it may be necessary to preserve peace and for a period not exceeding nine months. It further provides for the pay of volun- teers during camp service and makes provision for a reserve force of mil itia. The officers of the convention were received by the president yes terday afternoon. General Dick has been elected president to succeed Gen. eral Reese. Final adjournment was taken yesterday.
