HAS G. w. SMITH RESIGNED
Mystery Seems to Surround Position
of Coast Line Official.

Albuquerque, N. NJ. Feb. 1.-THE re-
port sent out by Associated Press that
the resignation of Master Mechanic G..
w. Smith of the coast lines. had been
accepted by the officials OF the Santa Fe
is not credited here and it is believed
that Mr.. Smith not only has not re-
signed but that he has no intention of
doing So
Mr.. Smith may have sent in his res
ignation, anticipating a reorganization
OF the mechanical department" said d
Santa Fe man yesterday who is in a
position TO know, but it is reasonabl
certain that it has not been, accepted. a
pretty good proof of this is that Mr.
Smith is expected here daily, in his Off
cial capacity.
Moreover, I do not think that Mr.
Smith will retire from the service. There
is probably no man in the mechanical
department of the road who is better
posted on the needs of each division
from Chicago to San Francisco than he.
OF course, if there should be a general
organization of the system, Mr.. Smith
may go. but it does not seem likely in
view of his long experience and thorough
knowledge of every part of the mechan-
ical department.

Southampton, Feb. 1.-THE Kron
Prinz Wilhelm arrived here Sunday
morning. Prince Henry's voyage to
England was uneventful. The ship pro-
ceeded slowly from Bremerhaven down
the WeiSer, under a clOudleSS sky ana
amid cheers from the people lining the
shore. The prince and his suite walked
upon the upper deck with some of the
other passengers Later Prince Henry
went to the bridge, where he held long
conversation with the captain of the
steamer. He showed the greatest inter
est in all the details of the ship.
The prince, with his suite, appeared at
dinner sitting at a table in an alcove of
the general saloon. During the meal the
band played German and American airs
The princes table naturally attracted
almost undivided attention, but Prince
Henry did not seem to mind this. After
dinner the prince spent an hour in the
smoking room.
He was up early walking the deck
In the course of conversation he again
expressed the pleasure he feels in visit

TO SEE PRINCE HENRY
Low Rates May Be Put in From
Points Near Chicago.

E. E. Mcleod, chairman of the Western
Passenger association, has called upon the
members for an expression of opinion as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of making reduced
rates into Chicago during the visit here
of Prince Henry of Germany. The Opin-
ion prevails to some extent that there will
be a strong desire the part of the peo-
pie in the territory surrounding Chicago,
and particularly those of German ex-
traction, to come here and see the prince.
and it is thought that the number might
be largely increased by the making of a
low rate, at least from points within 100
miles of the city.
