Paul Leicester Ford" says the
Philadelphia Record, was quite
a familiar figure in Philadelphia
when he was gathering material
for his biographical works dealing
with the lives of Washington anc
Franklin. Much of his research
was accomplished in the rooms o.
the Historical Society of Pennsyl
vania, at Thirteenth and Locust
streets, and there de delved into
musty documents early and late
seeming interchangeable in his la
bors. He had a little desk re.
served for his own use on the
Thirteenth streets side of the
building, where the light was
best, and there the pathetic bu'
eagre figure of the little bunch
back could be seen every day for
sevsral weeks, porting over the re-
cords and copying notes with ar
apparently tireless energy. He
lived very quietly here and made
few friends, but many frequenters
of the Historical Society's build,
ing will recall the crouched up lit
tie man working away in the cor
ner."

In the general scheme the German and American colors were freely minsieo and formed the basis of the principal de- signs. The unit for repetition was 2 boats prov and the mast head nanked on either side by panels bearing eagles and flags and the banners Of America and Germany. On. each side of the bali base of each being draped with the com. bined colors of the United States and Germany through which gieamed hun drAds of small electric lights.

 At 10:4s D. m.. Mayor Harrison and Prince Henry entered the ball room, the lowing. escorted by other members of the Ball Committee For nearly an hour 2.00o men and women had been in wait ing for the entry of Prince Henry.
 with the strictest formality and the pre- sentation to Mrs Carter Harrison. his of- flcial hostess, was made in a manner as quiet as It was dignified. As soon as all the distinguished visitors had been pre- santed to the ladies selected for their escort, the Prince took Mrs Harrison to the head of the line and immediately be- gan to promenade around the ball room. stopping when he reached the front Of the royal box. At tfis moment the or chestra chanaed the march into waltz The Prince went to his box escorting Mrs. Harrison to the seat of honor be- side him and watched the dancing of several hundred couples with interest. He remained in his box for the greater part of the evening talking for the most part with Mrs. Harrison and the other ladies who were presented to him. Just before midnight Prince Henry was es- corted to the supper room. Here at the request of the Prince. all formality was laid aside and for fully an hour before he retired to his apartments, he met and spoke to several hundred people.

Now Said That the Abduction of Ampil Was the Result of . Eeud-Lulkban Makes
 O6er.

Manila. March 3.-Twenty-five members of the constabulary of Morong, ten miles from Manila, encountered eighty well armed Insurgents today. The former hed' after expendinG all their ammunition. Eleven of the constabulary are unac- counted for and 1t is believed they were killed or captured. The same band of in surGents turned back a commissary wag- on. but did not molest the escort of three men.
 Governor Flores of the province of Ra- gal says the members of the band who recently captured Ampil, the Presidente of Cainta, Morong province, were neither Ladrones nor insurgents. He thinks . private feud was at the bottom of the matter. Word has been received that Ampil is stlll alive. but under torture and expecting death. Ampii was an enthusi- asuc American syppathizer.
 A force ot coustabulary ard militia arc securing the country and bands of insur- gents and Ladrones are hocking to the island of Leyte.
 The constabuiary officials have been mo- tified of the arrival of malcontents from Bohol and other places. They are well armed and are serving under Capile. An extra force of constabulary will endeavor to handle the malcontents.
 General Lukban has offered to assist in suppressingS, the insurgents if given a certificate that he conducted his share of the war according to civilized usages His offer has not been considered favor ably.

St. Louis. March 3.-Prince Henry spent nearly four hours in St. Louis to- day and during that time he was kept busy following out the program laid flown for his entertainment by the local com mittee. From the time he entered Union Station until his departure for Chicago the royal visitor received a constant ova-
 tion. He made a splendid impression and his remarks and bearing showed that he was pleased with all he saw as well as the reception accorded him In the only address delivered here by him,

for its surplus products more than the United States. An American ship ham, dled by intelligent, active, earnest and in- terested American officers, he said. Is a better instrument for the distribution of our products abroad than a German ship cfficcred with Germans, Germany being a dangerous rival of the United States.
 MT. Frye declared that free ships would mean an increase in cost of ships of 25 would close every ship yard in the United States against building any ships for foreign trade. Counties were impracti- cable. He said that the only way to ac- complish anything In the direction indi- cated by him would be to pay from the treasury of the United States annually a sum of money winch shall be equal to the difference between the operating and carrying on of the trade in foreign ships and that carried in our own. The word subsidy" he said, should not terrify any one, because 1t was only another name for protection.
 Effects of the Bill.
 Mir. Frye said that in two years the en- actment of the pending bill would increase the expenditure in American ship yards $40, 0,000, 900. Our mail subsidies amounted to nearly 8. .0o0, 900 year and would act as an offset to the $S0o0. 600 that would be paid in subsidies to American ship ping. The bill. he thought. did not pre- sent very serious proposition to the Senate which would authorize In five min- utes the construction of battleship cost ing $5,0000o0 and pass a river and harbor bill carrying S60, ,000. 900 in a few hours or days.
 MT. Bacon tGa.) inquired as to the con- dition of business in American ship yards. Was is true that they were full of or. ders?'
 Tt is not true" replied Mir. Frye.
 MT. Bacon asked if MT. Frye had not noted in the newspapers the glowing &C., counts of the work being done in Ameri- can ship yards.
 Mir. Frye replied that he had seen a paragraph to the effect that Mir. Furness of Great Britain had made contract re- gently for the construction of eight steam- ships in American yards. The fact was that the contract had been made for the construction of the eight steamships in Great Britain.
 In response to an inquiry by MT. Clay tGa.), Mir. Frye said there was no law now which required tft Americans should be employed upon American ships The pending bill, he said, provided that dur Ing the first year one-fourth of the crews of American vessels should be citizens of the United States, the second year. one- third. and the third year. one-haIf.
 MT. Clay and Mir. Bacon both insisted that the crews of the Pacific Mail Steam- ship Company were largely Chinese, and the former read the testimony of the cap- tain of the steamship China, of the Pa nc Mail, showing that about two-thirds of the crew were Chinese
 The Senate at 4:15 went into executive session and at 4:so p. m. adjourned.

DECLARED CONSTITUTIONAL.
Decision of Supreme Court on Illinois
 Future Law.

Washington. March 3.-The. Supreme Court today confirmed the decree of the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois in the case of Alfred c. Booth vs. the State of Illinois. involving the validity of the State statute imposing a fine of from $10 to $l000 for dealing In futures. The decision of the State court upheld the law and today's opinion sustained that decision. The opinion was handed down by Justice Harlan and was dissented from by Justices Brewer and Peckham. In the course of his opinion Justice Harlan said: {:
 We cannot say from any facts judi cially known to the court in this case that the prohibition of options to sell grain at a future time has In itself no possible relation to the suppression of gambling in grain contracts in respect of which the parties contemplate only a settlement on the basis Of differences in the contract and market prices. Per haps the Legislature thought that deal ings in options to sell 'or buy at future time although not always or necessarily gambling, may have the effect to keep out of tire market while the options last. the property which is the subject of the options and thus assist purchasers to establish for a time what are known as corners, whereby the ordinary and regu- lar sales or exchange of such property, based upon existing prices may be Inter fered with and persons who have in fact no grain and do not care to handle any, are enabled to practically control prices. or the Legislature may have thought that options to sell or buy at future time were, in their essence, mere speculation in prices and tended to foster a spirit of gambling. In all this. the Legislature may have been mistaken. If so, the mis- take was not such as to Justify the con clusion that the statute was a mere cover to destroy a particular kind of business not inherently harmful or i'm moral. It must be assumed that the Legislature was of the opinion that an fr ~t.VG grain contracts was to declare illegal all options to sell or buy at a future time We cannot adjudge that the Legislature of Illinois transcended the limits of constitutional authority when snacting the statute in question:"
