THE KAISER'S LATEST.
Will Send Prince Henry to This
 Country.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-The latest evidence of the friendliness of En- peror William of Germany has come in the form of a message to President Roosevelt announcing that he would send his brother, Prince Henry, to this country to attend the launching of the kaiser's yacht now building at the ship yards of Townsend & Downey, New York. The following is the text of the emperor's message, which was in Eng fish:
 T am most gratifed by your kind permission for Miss Rooseyelt's per forming the christening ceremony Of my yacht. 1t gives me great pleasure to announce to you that l have or dered my yacht, the Hohenzollern, to cross over and be present at the cere- mony. My brother, Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia, will appear as my representative and will be able to ex- press to you once more my sincere feelings and friendship for the United States and their illustrious head"
 President Roosevelt replied as follows in German:
 "Your majesty's intention to send over your yacht, the Hohenzollern, to attend the christening by my daughter Of your new yacht is the source of great pleasure and satisfaction to me. I can assure you hearty welcome for your brother, Admiral Prince Henry, to whom I shall personally express my sincere feelings of esteem for your majesty as well as my best wishes for the welfare of the German people" A dispatch from Berlin says that the length of Prince Henry's stay in the United States is undetermined and will depend in part upon the wishes of President Roosevelt and the pro gramme for his entertainment. The sending of Prince Henry to America is regarded by the court as another evi- dence of the emperor's desire to win the good will of the American people and government for Germany. In the last l few weeks the emperor has shown tc Ambassador White and to Mrs. White various marks of his consideration and has sent to President Roosevelt per sonal letter expressing his esteem and 1 later requested that the presidents daughter christen his majesty's new yacht

MILK INSPECTOR.
Mayor Kilduff Has the Power of Alp
 pointment.

Many wonder what has become of the office of milk inspector. They have not noticed his reappointme'At and would like to know does he hold over, and if not, what's up. This ap- pointment belongs to the mayor, in t'.e same way as the members of the other boards. The position has been credita- bly, filled for the past two years by Dr Keeley, who is still engaged in the business of keeping tabs on the milk men and looking out for the sanitary conditions of the dairies, and will con- tinue to do so until his successor is named. It seems to be generally un. derstood that the doctor will succeed himself The mayor may decide to make the nomination any time. Ii may come before the aldermen to- night for all one can tell.

CITY's CASE IN NEW HAVEN.
Case of Platt Bros vs City Will Be
 Revived

Revived
 Ihis afternoon in New Haven the cily LOOK the first steps after many years 10 settle it's wrangIe with those who claim to have been damaged on account of it's system of sewage. Prin- clpaI among these is the Platt Bros company of Platt's Mills on the Naug- atuck road, which instituted suit against the city some years ago for heaVy damages. This concerns property is situated directly on the flver bank and claimed on that ac- count to have been more damaged than other residents or property own CTS in the neighborhood. This is the only part of the river from which con- plaint has been heard. The Platt Bros, after a lengthy hearing. were given judgment for $500. The city appealed from this and that was the last heard of the case for some time until an injunction was granted re- straining the city from using the Naugatuck river in connection with it's sewage system. That injunction was dissolved and the city, which was then represented by the present Mayor Kill duff and Colonel Burpee, it's legal counselor. decided that the best way to dispose of claimants for damages arising from this source was to fight them.
 To that end, therefore, Colonel Bur pee, representing the city, knowing all about the case, having been in it from the outset, appeared before Judge Roraback in the superior court in New Haven this afternoon on q motion to appoint q committee to assess dam. ages to the Platt Bros company Ii has been estimated that this is the best thing to do, considering the cir cumstances from every standpoint Ii l is not expected that at the utmost damages of more than $2O,O00 will be allowed all the property owners living on the Naugatuck river, if they claim to have been damaged by the city's sewage system. This sum would moi 1 figure very conspicuously in contract l for any other system for disposing o1 the city's sewage. The means sug gested at the time the Platt Bros were awarded damages was to build 2 trunk sewer which would cost ter times S2O.OO0. No other system that would cost less than $30,000 annually was thought of or devised at tha1 time or has been since, so that it has been decided to have a committee ap pointed by the superior court to assess present damages and future damages as well to any property owner wh( may be found to have just claim.
