Senate Considers the Shipping Bill.
 House Discusses Free Delivery.
 WASHINGTON, March 5.--The ship subsidy bill was further discussed in the senate yesterday by MT. Frye. His remarks were directed principally to the Republican senators, and he gave further expression to his views that the subsidy bill was logical response to the demands and principles of the Republican party and that i'll its prep aration he had obviated the objections entertained by senators friendly to the measure. No other senator desiring to speak today, the bill was laid aside and number of other bills were passed.
 The senate committee on appropria- tions concluded consideration of the legislative, executive and judicial ap- propriation bill for the next fiscal year. The committee added $315,525 to the expenditures provided by the bill as it passed the house, making the total $25, ,490, 195. An amendment was also inserted providing for the transfer to the classified service of the clerks temporarily employed during the war With hopdiA duu pIO}iu1iiS loA eASll permanent retention in their present places.
 Tue house spent another day in dis cussion of the bill to classify the rural free delivery service and place the car riers under the contract system. No vote was reached, and it is doubtful whether one will be had today, as the list of speakers is still large. The fate of the bill is in doubt, although the inn pressiOn prevailing is that it will be defeated.

The Diamond Market Flurry.

BRUSSELS, March 5.-Numerous and contradictory reports are current here as to the crisis in the diamond trade, and newspapers refer to the impending failures of several firms in the diamond business at Antwerp, Am sterdam and London. They allege that some diamond merchants have been guilty of extensive defalcations and have fled to London and New York. The crisis Is said to be due to the large quantity of goods on warrant. which can only be disposed of at q loss. The Messager de Bruxelles says that the extradition of two men who fled to New York with 50O,0O0 francs' worth of diamonds has been demand ed. A telegram received here from Antwerp says the diamond market is calmer as result of the proposals of three diamond merchants to effect an arrangement with their creditors.

MIL WAUKEE'S GUEST
Henry of Prussia Warmly
 Welcomed In Wisconsin.
A DRIVE, 4 RECEPTION AND A FEAST.
Two Hundred Thousand People Throng the Strects--The Prince Departs For the East After
 a Busy Six Hours.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 5-NIil- waukee was host to Prince Henry of Prussia for six hours last evening and gave him reception that was highly enthusiastic and entertainment that was unique. His special train came at 4 o'clock and at 10 o'clock was away again on tL4 long run to Niagara and New England. The intervening time was all given over to the reception and entertainment of the royal visitor. It began with a drive through business and residential districts in review be- fore q crowd that numbered 100000. Then there was public reception, at which Governor Robert La Toilette and Mayor David s. Rose voiced the official welcomes and the united singing socie ties raised their voices in mighty cho rus. There was also a splendid illumi- nation and a thrilling night run of the Milwaukee fire department Later there was a banquet at which the prince met the leading citizens of the city and state
 The thousands of Germans resident in Milwaukee joined heartily in the welcome of the young prince to whose house they once owed allegiance, and veterans of the German wars gathered from throughout the state to assist in the reception.
 The special train bearing the prince and his party ran up from Chicago over the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, and there was an enor- nous crowd at the depot awaiting it's coming

DAN DAILY.

People bought seats ill lively style to-day for Dan Daly's appearance ill ''The New Workers at Polls to-mor- row evening, and there is every req son to figure on his first Waterbury engagement proving an extraordinary success. In "The New Workers" Mir Daily has been furnished with a char acter moulded to his grotesquely hu- morous personality and bringing out that dry humor possessed by this ill., imitable entertainer and which has placed him in a class by himself. The company in support of Mir Daily this season is a George F.. Lederer organi- zation, comprising 75 talented come dians and singers, interspersed with the usual host of graceful and beauti- ful femininity which has made the Lederer productions famous The entire production will be seen here ex- actly similar as that which has just finished a long run in New York city, and it should prove an altogether re- markable performance. Prices are p, 50, 75 cents, $1 and $1.50.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 Local people needn't go to the trou- ble of going to New York or elsewhere to see Prince Henry, as Manager Poli has arranged all that by having vi tagraph pictures of him and the launching of the Emperor Williams yacht shown at the Jacques all the week. The pictures are wonderfully clear and realistic and one gets as vivid an idea of everything as though present in persona propria. The com edy bill that is given in connection with the pictures is of exceptional merit, and there is a novelty intro duced by Zeda and Elden, European equilibrists, under the title of Prince of Darkness" that is of rare attract iyeness. Prices are 10 and 20 cents for the matinees, all ladies 10; evening prices for all 10, 20 and 30 cents.

The equalization of the assessment of
the various counties throughout the state
by the state board of equalization results
in the making of a few changes that
should prove of interest to our taxpayers
in general way. The railroad ASSESS
ment was raised one thousand per mile
on the main lines, but no change was
made on the branches. The Great Nor
thern claims that it's road bed is worth
$4,000 Il mile, which would indicate the
tax is hardly high enough yet. However
1t Is an Improvement over previous years
and perhaps just as equitable as
many other assessments. We do not be.
lieve in assessing corporations higher
than an individual, but we do believe in
making them pay their just share of tax
alton. Cavalier county's assessment on
real estate was raised twenty per cent,
making the valuation 1886 per acre.
This is higher than the assessment OF
q number of other western counties and
more than half as much as the valuation
given the Valley counties, where land is
selling for $40 and $50 per acre. 1t
would undoubtedly lave been for the
best If the board had doubled the
valuation all over the state as a
low valuation gives high rate OF
taxation as we'll rs conveying wrong

IN Southern California an Ingenious
inventor has constructed O huge COM
binauon OF lenses and renectors where
BY the heat Of the sun IS made TO rum
machinery. pump water and DO other
hard labor. In various parts Of the
world inventors have built machines TO
utilize the wave motions Of the ocean.
The next thing. you will be saying,
someone Will have harnessed cyclones
and made them do man's work. hat
very thing has already been done. At
least, so an inventor claims. Accord
ing to this man, Prof. B. B. Britts, his
machine is far superior to any other
means Of using natural forces. The
secret Of the construction Of his con-
trivance Is carefully guarded, but, as
soon as the patents are thoroughly es-
tablished, he promises to give a pub
lie exhibition with the FIRST stih breeze
that comes along. One Of the most re-
markable claims Of the inventor Is
that his apparatus Is applicable to
locomotives, and that It will displace
electricity and compressed air in pro-
polling street cars. All sorts Of loco
motion or navigation are possible, says
Prof. Britts, and he promises to make
steam power a thing Of the past.

The principles upon which the manu-
facture Of ice is based is that a gas.
when compressed. gathers heat enor-
mously, and If robbed Of this heat and
allowed to escape at a future time, it
seeks to regain its heat by withdraw
ing heat from It's surroundings. Am
monia gas is generally preferred to
others. because it can be liquefed
with comparatively little pressure.
On removing the water from common
ammonia by distillation, anhydrous
ammonia is obtained. This is com
pressed by a combined steam pump
and a compressor, and the resulting
liquefaction induces heat, which is
eoonomized by circulating water about
the vessel OF pipe containing the lique-
fed ammonia. Thus the ammonia is
cooled and the heat largely transferred
to the water. which Is then
pumped back to the boiler that sup
plies the steam pump. The liquid am
monia Is then carried In a pipe to ex-
panslon coils that afford plenty Of
room for its evaporation, when II be-
gins to return to the gaseous form
and to draw heat from its surround
ings-which gradually reduces the
temperature. Proper vessels Of water
are placed IA contact with the exDan-
sion coils and Ia due time ice Is form

In Bloomington, Ind, there is a 16-
year-old-boy who carries in his mind
a permanent calendar for at least the
last half century. although by many
me is considered mentally deficient.
To everybody in Bloomington and
around the quarries he is known as
the weasel" When asked his real
name he gives any of half a dozen
which he has at his tongues end for
the purpose Of satisfying the curiosity
of the questioner. So far as known,
the boy has never attended school, and
knows nothing about the system by
which past and future dates are cal
cuIated. When asked on what day of
the week a date 20 years back came on
the weasel" answers the question cor
rectly within the space Of one minute,
and often In much less time. He
gathers up many nickels and pennies
by telling commercial travellers at the
hotels on what day of the week they
we're born. The day of the month on
which one was born Is given the boy
and he Immediately supplies the day
Of the week. To the questioner this
is in many cases known, so that it is
at once known that the boy has given
a correct answer. Every ruse has been
made use Of to muddle him in his cal
c%ulations, but in each case he gets the
better Of the undertaking.
