PRINCE OF WALES
VISITS GERMANY

Berlin, Jan. 26.-The prince of
Wales, who has come to Berlin to
represent King Edward at the celebra-
ton Of the anniversary of the birth Of
Emperor William next Monday, re-
ceived a great ceremony upon his ar
rival last evening Emperor William
in the uniform of the first royal dra-
goons, accompanied by his second son,
the British ambassador and staff and
numerous distinguished personages,
awaited on the station platform the ar
rival of the princes train. The prince
of Wales was also wearing the uni
form of the first royal dragons and
upon alighting from the train was
greeted by the emperor, who advanced
and warmly shook hands. The banc
played the British anthem The mill.
tary escort passed in review before the
emperor and royal visitor, who after
ward drove in the state carriage to the
palace where they dined with the i'm
perial family.
AT Emperor Williams special order
an unusual number of police occupied
the seats. The crowds, however, were
small and showed but little interest.
The celebrations in honor of the
prince of Wales have been limited.

agreed with the other on rates and
agreements, rates were
lower than in any other part Of the
country
In regard to the purchase of the Bur
lington by the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, Hill declared
the purchase was matter
of necessity and not due
to movement in line with the trust
idea" He testified to the formation
of the Northern Securities company
and In doing so gave a reason far more
simple than is generally conjectured.
There are some old men-some
very old men-interested in the man
agement of the Great Northern" said
he. 1.-TWO of them are over so and
several are over 70. They wanted to
form close corporation into which
they could confIde their interests with
assurance that the road would be man
aged along the lines which have made
it a success
1T was to have taken over one-third
of the stock of the road. The plan
seemed to be a good one, and then it
was proposed to let in the stockhold-
ers-nOt alone the few owners of one
third-but all. The plan met with APP
prevail and then it broadened into the
idea of taking in the Northern Pacific
also. The roads had worked in har-
mony 20 years, and a change in the
holders of securities would make no
difference. 1t can make no difference,
and will make no difference"
At the close of the session, when
Chairman Knapp offered to allow Hill
to leave for New York if the latter
felt that staying in Chicago would in
convenience him seriously, Hill de-
clared that his time belonged to the
commission and he desired in every
way to aid it to the extent of his abil-
ity. Chairman Knapp thereupon said
that Hill would be again called this
morning

St Paul, Jan. ga petition has
been signed by the grain men, lumber
men, merchants and shippers of Min
neapolis, to be presented to Governor
San Want asking that the fight against
the so-called merger of the Great
lington railroads be discontinued. The
petitioners state that it is their belief
that the proposed arrangements will
be more beneficial to shippers than ex-
listing conditions. They want stabil-
ity Of rates, they say, and believe the
Northern Securities company will Sc
cure this for them. Petitions Of a
similar nature are said to be coming
from other parts of the state.
Chicago, Jan. 26.-D. E. Hartman,
who was before the interstate COM
merce commission yesterday, insisted
that the common interest of all sys-
TENS now affiliated under the Northern
Securities company must be consid-
cred rather than the sO-called ''com-
munity Of interests" He said he was
a member of the board of directors Of
the Securities company and that Hill
was the president, but the combina-
ton under that company affected the
rates in no wise. He told how, short
ly after the scramble over the North
ern Pacific stock, Morgan had been
given a proxy by him in order to sell
the stock again. 1t was understood
the sale was to be effected in cash Sc
curities later into the Northern Secur-
tiles company, if it should be organ
lied. Hartman eventually controlled
about $60,000,000 of stock in this com
pany. The question if the formation
OF the Northern Securities company
and the association of so many roads
might influence rates brought a denial
Hartman did not think competition
ever reduced rates more than temper
arily.
At the conclusion Of his testimony,
Hartman took a special train for New
