| of trouble over the appearance OF the
reports, since they have been delayed
a long time. Last summer when con-
| troversy arose between the contract
printer and the court reporter as to who
was responsible for the delay, the mat
ter was virtually taken out of the
hands of both and placed in the hands
of the secretary of the executive coun-
Gil. Since then there has been strong
demand that more of the report shall
be put out. A short time ago the repor-
ter issued a circular letter to attorneys
in the state making statement that he
had at certain time placed in the
hands of the printer sufficient copy to
make two other volumes of the reports.
Some lawyers contend that the supreme
court should not only control the re-
porter but the entire publication of the
reports and thus end all delays and
trouble
While the work of codifying the laws
and annotating the same is in progress,
bill had been introduced which pro-
poses that volume shall be printed
giving all the laws relating to township
officers. No such book has ever been
published. This is not to include the
criminal laws for the benefit of the JUS
tices OF the peace, but all laws which
especially affect the townships. The
school laws have thus been collected
and published and the election laws and
several others. There is a demand tor
a book containing the township laws
alone.
1t was expected that the house COM
mittee on appropriations would report
today on the bills relating to the state
institutions under the board of control.
Chairman Hughes was in favor of
bringing out the omnibus bill today, but
the committee has hesitated. The board
of control bills, which cover the expense
of the state in its charitable, penal and
reformatory institutions, aggregate
about 100000. According to the state
ment prepared some time ago by the
state auditor and state treasurer the
legislature will have less than $S00,000
to spend in ALL This would leave no III
ing for the educational institutions or
other purposes. But the members of
the committees recall that two years
ago they received similar statement
anu tieil NclIl VII anu
about S1.200,000, and the state has
great deal more monew in it's treasury
now than at that time, and it is still ac-
cumulating. SO the committee on ap-
preparations has appointed a sub-com-
mittee at the head of which is Mr.. |
jerks, to make investigation and find
out exactly how the estimates have
been made up and if it is not possible to
anticipate a greater state revenue the
next year. Until this is done the COM
mittee will not report. The board of
control bills will not be cut unless 1t is
absolutely necessary. The senate ap-
committee is waiting for
the house committee to act first and
bring out the bills.

Some Railway Figures.

Official reports from the interstate
commerce commission contain figures
that show that by next year the Uni
ted States will have more than 2O0,-
600 miles of main line in railways,
the present mileage being over 1877
900, and the total, which includes dou-
BILE tracks, switches, etc, already ex-
ceeding 265,00O.
Then in the service of the railways
of the United States during the year
ending June 20, 1901, there were near
ly forty thousand locomotives and
cars and coaches.
More than one million persons were
in the employ of the railways during
the year, an average of nearly $50
employees per one hundred miles of
line.
The number of passengers carried
exceeded six hundred millions and Of
tons of freight nearly eleven hundred
millions.
There were only 2S2 passengers
killed and less than 5000 injured out
of the more than six hundred mil
lions transported. OF the employees,
however, nearly twenty-seven hun
bred were killed and more than forty
one thousand injured, while of others
than employees and passengers 5,49s
lost their lives and 1909 were wound
ed.
The railway capital outstanding is
well on to twelve billions, in actual
figures the capitalization per mile of
line being 61,52s.
The gross earnings exceeded one
and half billions and the net earn
ings more than five hundred millions,
the net earnings increase for the year
being nearly seventy millions of dol

The Possible Return of Prince Henry

The kaiser's brother, Admira!
Prince Henry, has informed Ameri-
can officers in Germany that he will
pay another visit TO this country as
soon as his term of naval duty is
over, which will be next year.
This leads the Chicago Chronicle to
comment in this sensible vein:
Prince Henry will be as welcome as
any other foreigner who comes 10
our shores on Il friendly errand.
There appears to be no good reason
why his coming should be accentua-
ted beyond that of any other foreign
er seeking to study our institutions.
The last visit of the prince was SO
managed as TO deprive him of any
opportunity to observe democratic
life on this continent. That his willy
imperial brother planned the tour as
an antidote to the widely credited
but wholly baseless report of an
American-English alliance cannot be
doubted. The plan succeeded meas
urably. The prince was everywhere
treated with a homage which was not
lacking in elements of the ridiculous.
In this city the ridiculous element
prePonderated too much. \ ball in
his honor was organized regardless
of expense and regardless of the fact
that etiquette does not permit royalty
to dance with persons not of aristo-
cratic blood. The play without the
melancholy Dane could not be more
satirical than was the alleged ball a.
the Auditorium in honor of an indi-
vidual who was incapable of partici-
pating. although present.
The lesson learned during the for
mer visit of the prince ought to be
lasting. The throne set up in the
Auditorium for one never to occupy
n throne was a melancholy reminder
of that spirit of toadyism which lin
gers in this country after a century
of independence of hereditary pre-
tensions. Never again should a throne
be erected in this city for anyone.
In Rome the guest is expected to
do as the Romans do. Prince Henry
was undoubtedly ready to conform 10
the usages of American society. He
was ruthlessly prohibited. Flattery
such as even snobbery does not rem
der to members of reigning families
was everywhere showered upon him
until he must have laughed or been
nauseated.
THE next time any prince visits
this country he should be permitted
TO see the life of the American peo-
pie as it is. We cannot hope to con-
vert old world monarchies to new
world democracy by aping monarchy
whenever a representative of it comes
here"

Senator j. X. Jones, of Arkansas,
chairman of the democratic national
committee, in an interview made
some statements in regard to the an

on the Forthcoming congressional

people what trusts really are. 1t has
never been shown so clearly before,
not even in the instance of the beef
trust. There is no doubt in my mind
that this strike will have the effect

Last year Gov. Yates would not let
the Illinois naval militia go on Pa
cific cruise in the DorOthea, after the
ship had been brought to Chicago at
considerable expense to the state for
that purpose, because such a cruise
would entail some slight expense for
coal. This year, with the militia ap-
preparations heavily overdrawn and
with the price of coal boosted by the
trust, Gov. Yates takes the Dorothea
for private yacht and goes off on a
cruise of his own. 1t beats all how
quickly even Gov. Yates can learn
when to save coal bills and when not
to understand such able tutors as

Kansas City established a system of
savings banks two years ago. In that
time the note savings deposited in
them by the children amounts to
over $4,000. The peculiar thing
connected with it is that most Of
this money has been made by the
poorer class of people, by children
who are taught to earn rather than
to spend, and these look after their
own affairs, put by their little saw
ings and are early self-taught in this
direction.

GREEK CATHOLICS,
International Convention Held Here
Yesterday Is Attended by Near
ly One Hundred Delegates.

twenty-five priests. and about sew
enty lay delegates, representing a to-
tai of forty-one Greek Catholic
churches in the United States and
Canada, convened in st. Johns Greek
Catholic church. Bellevue, yesterday,
for the purpose of hearing the reading
of the bylaws regulating the govern
ment of the church.
These We're read and discussed and
amendments made thereto. They will
be finally passed upon at a second con-
vention, which has been called for Oct.
20. at Hazleton. Rev. Andrew Hoda-
boy, Of this city, vicar general in the
church, presided over the convention
and celebrated a mass, before the
morning session. The church was
handsomely decorated. vast quantity
of bunting and American flags giving
it decidedly ornate appearance.
The afternoon business meeting was
in session from 2 to o'clock, dinner
having been first served the delegates
at the Scranton house. In the after
noon they were shown over the Trip
farm, the estate recently purchased by
the church.
Rev. Father Cornelius Leurisin, of
Shenandoah, who was the author of
the bylaws yesterday submitted to the
convention, in a conversation with a
Tribune man, last night, said: Our
object in holding these conventions is
to get all the Greek Catholic churches
in corporation, secure charter for
it and then govern it by the bylaws
now under consideration. In the by
laws which were read to the conven-
ton, today, were clauses defending the
right to use our national language, in
the celebration Of mass, the right to
retain our Greek rites, ceremonies and
the old Greek calendar, and advocat-
ing marriage among the clergy.
I'VE are at present under the domin-
ion of the Roman Catholic church and
Latin bishops. Without in any way
severing our connections with the
church we desire to have a Greek
bishop Of our own. The sentiment of
the convention was unanimously in
favor of the election of a bishop, by
the people and clergy.
"There was great deal of comment
and discussion on the bylaws. after
their reading, and they will now be
printed in revised form, and copies sent
to every Greek Catholic church in the
country. They will then he brought
up for final action at the Hazleton con-
vention.'
The Greek Catholics expect to have
a bishop of their own within a year,
and the Rev. Hodaboy, of this city, is
thought to be the clergyman upon
whom the honor will fall. After the
Hazleton convention, full statements
will be sent to the Roman church au-
thorities at Rome, expressing the
Greek church's attitude, regarding the
bishopric. A number of the delegates
to the convention left the city last
this morning.
