Plans for the Entertainment of
Prince Henry at the National
Capital Arranged.
TWO TRIPS ARE PROBABLE
EMPEROR WILLIAM SHOWING MUCH
INTEREST IN HEBREWISM.
Death of Herr Won Bennigsen, Who
Was i'm a Duel with
Herr Fa~1kenhagen.

BERLIN, Jan. 1S.-The imperial yacht
Hohenzollern sailed from Kiel for New
York at $3.50 this morning. Admiral Won
Tirpitz, secretary of the imperial admiralty,
who is going with Prince Henry to the
United States, will give a dinner on Friday,
at which some of the members Of Prince
Henry's suite and Commander W.. H.
Beehler, the naval attache of the United
States embassy here, will be present. The
provisional programme for Prince Henry's
visit, as arranged by Secretary Hay and
Dr.. Won Holleben, has been received at the
Foreign Office here, but has not yet been
considered by the Emperor, who is expected
to take up the matter on Monday.
WASHINGTON, jan. 1S.-The committee
charged with the arrangements for the re-
ception and entertainment of Prime Henry
to-day decided that it would be impossible
to yield to the requests of many cities to
have the prince visit them. 1t is likely, be-
sides New York, Washington and Niagara
Falls, the journey will include Chicago
only of the large cities. 1t also was de-
cided, owing to the tide, to nave the launch
occur on the original date, Feb. %. This
will necessitate two trips on the part of the
prince between New York and Washington.
The prince will come TO Washington from
New York, arriving here on the morning
of Feb. "a. He will be met at the station by
a handsome military escort and conveyed
TO the German embassy. He will next visit
the President at the White House and the
President will return his call at the
German embassy. Some time Monday
evening the presidential party and
the prince will leave Washington for New
York, and they will see the launch at 1880
Tuesday morning. This plan involves a re-
turn to Washington of the entire party,
and it is likely that on the 18th the prince
House. On the 9th he is TO be one of the
company present at the Capitol when Sec
rotary Hay delivers the Mckinley memo
rial address to Congress. After a few So
cial exchanges the prince, in charge of the
reception committee, will start on a short
tour, winding up at New York in time to
sail on the Columbia on March s for Ger
many. These plans have been m
Gated to the German ambassador here, and,
so far as they stand approved by him and
by the prince himself, to whom they will
be cabled, they will be carried out.
1t is part of the plan to have the enter
tainment afforded the prince thoroughly
national I'm character and that the partici-
pants shall not be limited to any one strain
of blood or race. One means of attaining
this result will be to make the reception as
formal as possible so that il will be drawn
upon official lines, and there will be a con-
siderable appearance of the military ele-
ment where feasible.

What Causes sleep?
ST. Louis Post-Dispatch

A rather startling theory lately put for
ward by a young Psychologist is attracting
considerable attention. This student be-
lieves that a gland or certain glands in the
system seCrete a narcotic substance; that
this substance is stored in the gland or
glands until at definite ~times-mainly influ-
ence by habit and 'tiredneSS" of the fndi-
vidual-it is thrOwn'intO the circulation and
thereby causes the phenomenon of sleep.
Further. he suggests that sleep continues
as long as the supply Of the natural mar
cOtic" is kept up-until the latter is so far
attenuated in, or wholly distracted from,
the blood by the eXcreting organs.
There is no direct evidence of the correct
ness of this theory, but he refers 10 a lately
discovered fact that the urine OF health Sc
creted in waking hours always contains a
narcotic substance. and he urges this point
in support of his theory. The existence OF
such glands is difficult TO deny. Sir L.
Lauder Brunton has pointed out that opium
will keep a person awake if he wishes to be
wakeful and conversely will make him sleep
if he wishes to sleep. which would seem TO
show that sleep is in some measure under
the control OF the will.

The House committee on coinage mas

law.
The present bill provides that the secre,
tary of the treasury shall maintain AT an
times at parity with gold the legal-tenuSI
silver dollars hat are outstanding, ana 10
that end he is directed 10 exchange gold
for legaI-tender dollars when presented 10
the treasury in sums OF s. or any multiple
thereof.
OF course, so long as we had such sec
retaries as John q. Carlisle or Lyman J.

With the passage OF this bill the gred'

Congress can then turn TO the subject OF
