tional reciprocity Twenty local and
state organizations throughout the coun-
try were represented at the convention In
the Great Northern hotel, and the senti-
ment for Capitalization was unanimous.
The meeting was called by the St. Louis
Millers' club, and was the most represen-
tative gathering of flour men ever held in
the United States. The delegates repre-
sent a daily output Of 412 500 bushels, or
81 500, 900, worth of -four. William G. Ellis
of st. Louis called the convention to order.
B. A. Eckhart was chosen chairman and

The demand for reciprocity was declared
to be general. The millers fear that pro-
hibitive duties will be put on flour by
England, Holland and Germany, and the
chief objects of the permanent organiza-
ton will be to fight such move and to
voice the sentiments of the trade against
roads in every legislative body in the
country

Lincoln, Neb.. Feb. 13.-Abraham Lin.
coins birthday was celebrated last night
by the Young Mems Republican club with
a banquet at the Lincoln hotel. Governor
Cummins. Of Iowa, was the principal
speaker. Much Of his speech was devoted
to the questions of reciprocity, tariff re-
vision and the trusts. He said:
II am a profound believer in the system
Of tariff duties, but consun ers have bet
ter right to competition than producers
have to protection; therefore, If congress
finds that any manufacturer has destroyed
the competition Of our own country and
that the monopoly Is likely tc be con-
tinued it should, and I believe it will
withdraw from the products of monopoly

h1el, Prussia, Feb. 13.-Mayor Low OF
New York has cabled to Prince Henry
saying that Herr Wiegand, director gen
eral OF the North German Lloyd line,
thinks that unless the Kron Prinz Will
helm sails from Bremen earlier than 8
o'clock Saturday afternoon she will not be
able to arrive at New York, owing to the
rough weather which prevails at this sea-
son of the year, until late in the after
noon of Feb. a. too late for the cere-
mony OF the municipal welcome and the
presentation to the prince of the freedom
! OF the city Of New York When asked
II the steamer could not leave Bremen
at an earlier hour, Prince Henry re-
piled that he was unable to change the
sailing hour; but he said the Kron Prinz
Wilhelm would do her best to reach New
York early on Saturday, Feb g.
The steamer is not chartered by Prince
Henry. He and his party go simply as
passengers and it is too late now to
notify the hundreds Of other passengers
that the steamer would sail twelve
hours earlier than heretofore announced,
as she would have to do in order to catch
the tide. Herr Wiegand's view of the
case is not shared by the commander
Of the Kron Prinz Wilhelm. The latter
thinks the steamer can reach New York
by midday Feb. %.
Prince Henry spent the morning reading
President Roosevelt'S "American Ideals, -
and during the afternoon he coasted on
the hill at the back of the castle, over a
slope which has been the scene of hun
dred fierce fights. Prince Henry, his ad-
jutant, Commander Won Egidy, and two
of the little princes were on implanted
sleighs, the boys yelling Justify as they
charged down the approach. Prince
Henry, pink-cheeked, 1.-THE and athletic,
appeared to be in At condition for the hard
campaign Of dinners and receptions that
awaits him on the other side Of the At
lantic. The crowded program rather dis
mays some of the members of the
princes suite, but Prince Henry looks
forward to genuine holiday during which

JAPS MALTREATED
Attacked Because They Supplanted
Colorado Strikers.

Florence, COL, Feb. 13.-The trouble
between the Victor Fuel company and
miners employed at their coal mines at
Chandler, near this city, eliminated
in an attack on Japanese miners who
had taken the places of the strikers and
the demolition of the boarding-hou
occupied by the Japanese. The mob
drove the Japanese out of the camp.
The affair occurred after meeting of
strikers at which it was decided to send
an ultimatum to the Victor Fuel COM
pany demanding the removal of the
Japanese. A report was circulated in the
meeting that 200 more Japs were on
their way to the Chandler mines, and
this so enraged the strikers that they
decided at once to rid the community of
the Japanese. 1t has not yet been
learned If any one was eriously hurt, al
though the Japanese were roughly
handled.
