panied by his brother William, and their
mother. He absolutely refused TO talk
about his plans, the yacht or Prince
Henry's visit to this country.
Captain Parker is considered to be one
OF the most expert yachtsmen OF Eng
land. For many years he sailed the Ger
man Emperor's old yacht. the Meteor.
and won many races with her. In 1899
he was engaged by SIR Thomas Upton,
with Captain Hogarth and Wringe,
to take charge OF the Shamrock l In her
races here.

Imperial yacht. Hohonzollern. Other
thousands travelled from New Jersey

only small number were allowed on
board.
The regular Sunday services prescribed
by the Lutheran church took place on the
Hohenzollern at 10 o'clock in the morning
They were conducted by Admiral Won
Baudissin and were attended by all the
members OF the crew.
AT the close the commander of the I'm
perial yacht prepared TO carry out the
cabled instruction from Emperor Will
liam by placing a mourning wreath on
the tomb of Miss Beatrice Goelet. daugh-
ter of the late Robert Goelet, and of Mrs.
Harriette Warren Goelet.
The wreath, which was made on bed
OF smlax, was quite a large one, and was

valley, and on the inside of the circle
was a row Of white tulips. 1t was bound
with broad white silk ribbon, the stream
ers OF which were trimmed with gold and
bore the monogram of the Kaiser and the
Imperial crest.
The wreath was delivered at the Hohen-
lern at IL o'clock, and a few minutes later.
Admiral Won Baudissin. in full uniform,
accompanied by his aide. Captain Won der
Osten, also in uniform, started for the
Goelet home on Fifth avenue. The
wreath was left at the residence and later
carried 20 Woodlawn cemetery and paced
on the tomb by two members of the Goe-
let family without any ceremony.
When the admiral was away from the
Hohenzollern, Captain Won Holleben and
Lieutenants Robensburg and Seldenstick-
err were entertained at the German club
house I'm Hoboken.
The United German societies, for the
reception of Prince Henry. met yesterday.
The plan of program and the order OF

Henry a beautiful silver album, hand
painted. and with the picture of the
Prince on the cover, and which will con-
tain the autographs of all the committee
men and presidents of all the organiza-
tions composing the United German So
cieties This is in addition TO the en-
crossed address inclosed by a silver cas-
ket which the societies will present him.
The committee decided that the parade
would take place on the evening of Feb.

NOT PROFITABLE.
Business Of Insurance Compan-
les Of State During Past Year.

In his report for this year to be SUBJ
mitted TO the General Assembly. Insur-
ance Commissioner Charles G. Gray
strongly recommends the creation of the
office of state fire marshal. In addition
TO this, he as strongly renews his rec
ommendation of last year for the rigid
enforcement of all fire ordinances by cit
les and towns. The commissioner believes
that If these suggestions were adopted
and properly adhered to, a greatly re-
duced fire waste throughout the state
would result. He believes that the insur-
ers would be directly benefited by reason
OF a reduction I'm rates, which now seem
burdensome TO many.
OF the 143 fire insurance companies fl
ing returns for 1901 three were Rhode ISL
and stock companies and n were Rhode
Island mutual companies. During the
year Is companies withdrew from the
state. The report gives an interesting
summary of the condition of Rhode ISL
and stock companies, which shows that
while their admitted assets have in
creased by $41, ass, their liabilities have
increased by S256. .63l, and their surplus
shows a decrease of $215,176. The report
shows that 90 per cent. of the total
amount of premiums collected I'm this
last year was paid for losses, which,
when the cost of collection. adjustment
and office expenses is added. shows that
the underwriting business OF these COM
panies in this state has not been profta-
bile

FIGHT EASILY ARRANGED.

Now that Champion Jeffrtes and ex-
Champion Fitzsimmons have signed arti-
cles to fight the followers of pugilism
will have something 10 talk about for
the next three months. One oreditable
feature of this latest match for the
heavy weight championship is that IL was
made without any wrangling over details.
The men met. greeted each other cordial
ly, and proceeded to draw up articles
without any of the wordy conflicts that
usually characterize meetings of this
sort.
Jeffdies held out for his point that the
winner should have the long end of the
gate receipts, and also sole control OF
the picture privilege. and Fitzsimmons
finally consented TO the terms laid down
by the champion.
II is nearly three years ago since JEFF.
ries defeated Fitzsimmons at Coney ISL
and. and IL cannot reasonably be expect
cd that Fitz has improved in the interim.
On the other hand, Jeffries, who is not
yet In his prime, has picked up whole
lot about the hstic game, and has shown
q marked improvement of late i'm his phy-
steal condition.
Speaking OF his proposed battle with
Fitz. he said: II defeated Fitzsimmons-
when 1 was practically novice at the
game, and feel sure that j can do the
trick again."
The fight will probably take place in
San Francisco about May IL. The bout
will be "a big drawing card in Frisco, as
that Is JehIfes' home, and Fit, al
though an old man, will not lack for sup
porters.
Fitz is the man with the punch, and he
can put it on harder and cleaner than
any man in the business when he finds
hts opening. He put Corbett out with u
body punch anu his recent victories over
Sharkey and Rubin show that he still
has good tight LEFT in him. He viii have
80 give away - or % pounds in weight
and this will be a serious handicap, as
yeffries has wonderful staying qualities,
end II he puts up the same Kind OF de-
fensivc tactics that he displayed at Conoy
Island. II will be a difficult matter for
Fitz to land.
Jeffries Is not an aggressive nghter.
but bides his time. and simply meets the
other fellows rushcs with that powerful
