For nearly an hour 20O0 men and women had been In waiting for the entry of Prince Henry.
 The entrance of the prince was marked with the strictest formality. and the presentation to Mrs. Carter Harrison, of f1icial hostess was made in a manner quiet as 1t was dignif1ed.
 AS soon as all the distinguished visitors had been presented to the ladies selected for their escort the prince took Mrs. liar rison to the head of the line and imme- dlately began to promenade around the 
 front of the royal box. At this moment the orchestra changed the march into q waltz.
 Mrs. Harrison Sat Beside Him.
 The prince went to his box, escorting Mrs. Harrison to the seat of honor beside him, and watched the dancing of several hundred couples with interest He re- mained 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 escorted 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 sev- eral hundred people.

were so far dependent upon the American market for the disposal of their wares that if we closed our doors against them they would get down upon their knees and beg to be taken into the American Union. It was a grievously mistaken policy; an Anglo Saxon people can be led. but never driven. The result has been the industrial development of Canada on independent lines Trade channels have been formed running east and west, in stead of as they should have been run, North and South. The Canadians have found for themselves in Europe the mar kets which we have denied to them. They were never less dependent upon us for trade than they are today, and we were never home dependent upon their good will as purchasers of our products, while the annexation sentiment which was a pronounced factor in the public mind of Canada twenty years ago has now al- cost entirely disappeared.
 Regarding Canada.
 "The danger which we have to fear on the side of Canada Is this: Unless we can within a reasonable time come to some trade understanding with her, either the Canadian tariff will be made, so far as our products are concerned, in most respects similar to that which we now have in force, in which event our annual sales of s11o, 100000 would drop off half that amount; or through customs fed eration established between England and her colonies, English goods will be ad- mitted into Canada almost duty free, while England will impose duty upon foreign-in this case American-products which enter in England into competition with the agricultural products of Canada and other English colonies. This last change, in view of the English need of more revenue from customs and the growing sentiment favoring imperial fed- eration, is not so improbable as short time ago 1t would have appeared. This transatlantic market can best be as- sured to the future by friendly trade agreement between Canada and the United States"

HOUSE DISCUSSES
 RURAL FREE DELIVERY.


 Washington, March S.-The House today began consideration of the bill to classify the rural free delivery service and place the carriers under the contract system. Mir. Loud, California, chairman of the committee on postoffces and post roads made the opening argument in favor of the bill speaking for two and a half hours. MT. Swanson, Virginia, led the opposition.
 The debate was interrupted before the close of the session by the presentation of the conference report upon the Phii- ippines tariff bill Mr. Payne, the ma jority leader, declined to allow the minor ity more than thirty minutes in which to discuss the report and this offer was rejected. A filibuster followed and the house adjourned after the previous ques- tion on the adoption of the report had been ordered.
 Loud Opened Debate.
 In opening the debate MT. Loud declar- ed that in his opinion upon the solution of the questions involved would depend whether the rural free delivery service would cost ultim ately sixty or twenty mill lion dollars per annum.
 The rural free delivery service up to this time, he said, had been a political one and 1t had given many members of Congress their first taste of the sweets of public patronage. He said the service was the most extravagant in the public service At the inception the carriers received $500 per annum; now they receive s60O If the salary system was continued they would soon receive $500 or $900. At the present time sS50, 900 was being spent for the supervisory force. The bill was carefully drawn, MT. Loud said to provide against the possibility of recurrence of the Star route scandal One contract could be given to one man, who must live in the district where the route was locat- ed and who must perform the service himself.
 Would Build Up Machine.
 Mir. Swanson contended that the con- tract system would allow the building up of a political machine by permitting the department to pass on the trustworthi- ness of the bidders. He said that the present system by which Democratic Congressman were allowed to name half the carriers in their districts should be continued.
 J. P. Williams of Illinois took issue with Mir. Swanson as to the latter state ment, declaring that Northern Democrats were allowed no voice in the selection of carriers. He believed the contract sys- tenn would take the service out of politics
 When MT. Swanson concluded the com mittee rose and Mir Payne, the majority leader, called up the conference report on the Philippine tariff bill. He explained the compromise effected by the confer eers.

Chinese Army Rolls.

Now that China has Russia for near
nelghbor, 1t remains to be seen how sue
cessfully, or otherwise, the Middle
Kingdom will continue to practice Its
favorite game Of bluff. How 1t has re-
enforced its army is shown by the Swed'
ish explorer, Hedin.
The Chinese have a most extraordin.
airy way of enumerating their troops
They are not content with counting the
soldiers only, but reckon in also theft
horses, rifles, shoes, breeches, and ST.
forth, so that the resultant total IL a
long way above what it ought to be.
They apparently go on the supposition
that the rifle is at least as valuable as
the man, and by an analogous train of
reasoning they argue that man Is of
little use If he has to travel ON foot, that
he cannot go about naked, and so on.
Hence they count the whole kit, horse,
rifle, breaches and all.
BY this peculiar process Of arithmetic
they fancy they deceive the Russians
into believing their garrisons much
stronger than they are.

suffrage Of any kind can be obtained
In some States only by constitutional
amendment, process which takes
from two to seven years, so that we
have difficult task before us. Already
twenty eight States give women the
right to vote in some matters.
"NOt only are women's declarations
and clubs working for suffrage. but or
ganized labor Is now growing strong in
its demands for giving women the bal
lot.
"Many temperance and prohibition
women who We're at one time ardent
suffragists express dissatisfaction ut
the way woman's suffrage has worked
In the States that have 1t, because not
all the women vote for prohibition.
The suffrage associations don't care
how women vote after they get the bal
lot. Our only work is to see that they
get it."

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.
Number of Routes Established Il
the State of Washington.

Washington, Nov. 18.-It appears
from the recent report of the first assis-
tant postmaster general that the num-
Der of rural free delivery routes estab-
lished in the state of Washington is 43
and that % petitions for the establish
ment OF routes remain to be acted upon.
A good deal of interest has been dis
played by citizens of the state on the
frss delivery of mail in rural districts.
In all, IS applications for the establish
ment of this service have been filed
with the postoffice department. OF the
applications investigated 10 we're re-
iecetd upon the basis of unfavorable re-
ports made by the inspectors.
One of the illustrate of the great
progress being made in postal facilities
in the United States is found in the
fact that it is now possible to transact
money order business between Circle,
Alaska, the utmost northern money
order Office, and Shanghai, China, at
the regular domestic rate.
