than $500 lynchings have occurred and
that 81 victims were women; that only
one-fourth of these executions by mobs
were melted by the fiendish crime which
so strongly tempts men to infiict summary
punishment without authority of law
Nearly a thousand of these victims were
white men, Indians, Chinese, or Mexicans.
The guilty soldiers would be punished, but
those who abetted this barbarous custom
would never be punished.

charged to investigate the water torture
Of natives by the Macabebes. We found
that this cruel practice had been pretty

CHICAGO'S RECEPTION PRINCE
HENRY OF PRUSSIA.
OFFICIALS DID THEIR BEST
But the Flattering Thing About the
Windy City's Welcome Was the
Part Taken BY the People.

Chicago, March 3.-The glare of red
| fire that could be seen for miles. the
blaze of hundreds of torches, the
! sparkle of myriads of electric lights,
and the cheers OF thousands of people
hospitality that was given Prince
Henry of Prussia upon his arrival in
| this city this evening. His train ar
rived at the depot of the Chicago &
Alton road at $50 o'clock, and from
there, after he had been formally well
coined by Mayor Harrison and the
| members of the general reception
committee Prince Henry rode through
streets packed with dense multitude,
whose cheers compelled the distin-
guished visitor to bow continually to
right and left
The prince arrived in the city at
time when the streets were throng-
ed to the utmost, it being the hour
when many thousands of people were
leaving their places of business for
the day, and it seemed that nearly ev-
cry one walked over to Jackson
boulevard to await the arrival of the
prince. For the entire distance the
sidewalks were solidly massed with
people, SO closely packed that it was
with the greatest difficulty that the
line of policemen drawn up in front
of the curb for the entire distance
could restrain the people from crowd
ing over into the street and encroach-
ing upon the line Of carriages. The
people were willings enough to stand
behind the officers, but the trouble
was that there was not enough stand
ing room for them all.
No more flattering welcome could
have been extended to any visitor,
and it came not SO much from the Of
ficials of the city as from it's citizens.
Every building along the line of his
route. from the depot to- the Auditor
ium hotel was gaily decorated with
bunting, the prevailing scheme being
the American and German flags inter-
twined. with the black eagle of Prus~
sia over all. Many of the buildings had
on their fronts elaborate devices
made up of hundreds of arc lights.
Welcomes by the dozen; there were
eagles and flags and there were
strings of many colored lights almost
without number. No hint of the cleo
trio light decorations was gwen to the
prince until after his carriage had
rolled over Jackson boulevard bridge.
and was descending the gentle slope
that leads towards Michigan avenue.
then almost in the same second the
lights were turned on, and what had
been but one second before a lane
between dark towering buildings, was
an avenue of dazzling light The

eran soldiers, lit their torches at al

most the same instant and from end
to end of the boulevard between the
| bridge and Michigan avenue, two.
thirds Of mile away. there was an
| instantaneous blaze of red fire from
| both sides of the street.
The train stopped with the last car,
in which the prince rode, opposite the
main gate Of the depot. Waiting for
it's arrival, Mayor Harrisan and the
members of the reception committee
had been standing for Is minutes.
AS the prince alighted Mayor Harrison
briefly welcomed him to the city.
The mayor and the prince followed
by Others then passed through the
large arched gateway and up the
stairs into the street. A dense throng
filled the streets and the sidewalks
for square in either direction and
ringing cheers filled the air as the
prince passed between the lines of
blue coated officers and emerged upon
the sidewalk at the edge of which his
carriage stood in waiting. A feature
OF the procession from the depot to the
hotel was the great number of German
veteran soldiers. who lined the
streets and who went fairly wild in
their efforts to show their devotion
to the prince. They had among them
by far the greater number of the
torches that were seen along the ave-
nue. when the line behind them, took
up the line of march to the hotel,
where the banquet was served.
The next feature of the program
was the visit to the armory of the
First Infantry, where the German cit
liens of Chicago had arranged a fes-
tival in his honor At the armory
which was crowded to the doors and
where enthusiasm was rampant, the
prince listened to a number of selec-
tions rendered by large chorus, af-
ter which Chairman r. J. Lefens read
an address of welcome, to which the
prince replied briefly. Then another
selection was sung and E. Gausst
read an original poem. The orchestra
then played the 'Star Spangled Ban
ner'' which was taken up by a chorus
and the audience and sung with vim
that shook the rafters. Shortly af-
ter 10 the prince and suite were es-
corted again to the Auditorium where
grand ball was given in their honor.

Passaic, N. j., March 3.-Six lives
were lost in the flood last night. The
Old Outwater bridge connecting Pas
sale with Outwaters Lane in Bergen
county went out, carrying with it six
men whose identity is unknown. The
men were standing on the bridge
watching the food when the structure
parted in the middle and went down
the stream in fragments.
Numerous cases of suffering and dis
tress are reported here. 1t is said
that men are going about in boats
robbing houses in the Wellington dis
trict. The report has aroused great
indignation and if the thieves are
caught by the people it will go hard
with them. A force of constables is
out trying to capture the plunderers.

The PRESIDENT OBJECTS
BUT WILL PROBABLY SIGN CEN.
sUS BILL JUST THE SAME.
Thinks an Injustice Has Been Done
to Persons Who Have Passed
Civil Service Examination,

Washington, March 3.-In confer
ence with members of congress today
President Roosevelt expressed his
disapproval of the civil service pro-
vision of the bill creating a perma-
nent census bureau, which has passed
both houses and is now before him.
The bill extends the provisions of the
civil service law to all the clerks at
present employed in the census Of
flee, numbering about LOO, and the
president takes the position that this
action is an injustice to those who
have passed and who may pass the
civil service examination prescribed
by law. He is, however. anxious to
have a permanent census bureau and
the opinion is expressed by those
who have talked with him that he will
sign the bill and then seek to regu-
late by executive order the appoint
ments under the bill to avoid the in
justice of which he complains.

Ex-SOlDlER HAD NO THOUGHT
OF HARRMiNG PRINCE.
DESIRED TO MAKE REQUEST
Made Up His Mind That Henry
Would Be Good Travel
ing Companion.

Chicago, March 3.-Considerable
excitement was caused at the door
of the Auditorium hotel tonight at
the time the prince was entering it
after his arrival from the depot. Geo.
S. Howe, a discharged United States
soldier, who had served in the Phil
ippines and in China, made a determ-
lned effort to reach the prince to pre-
sent to him some general letters of
recommendation and a letter written
by Howe to the prince asking for per-
mission to return to England on the
same ship as that on which the prince
Will make the return voyage. Howe,
who wore the uniform of an infantry
private, pushed through the crowd in
the most vigorous fashion and made
no reply to the questions of the de-
tectiVes and the secret service men
who demanded to know what he want
ed. He was taken in charge by Chief
John Wilkie of the secret service and
turned over to the local police At
the police station Howe explained by
writing upon a piece of paper that
he. had been wounded number of
times while serving in China and in
the Philippines and that the wounds
had deprived him of the power of
speech and also of the sense of hear
ing. He said he had no desire to harm
the prince and explained his errand
as given above.
The affair caused great excitement
for short time and there were
stories that an attempt had been
made to shoot Prince Henry. When
Howe was searched at the station no
weapon OF any kind was found upon
him.

ance to cover it. Many more fam
lilies have been rendered homeless by
