PRINCE HENRY HAS GONE.
Sailed from New York on the Big Hamburg
American Liner Deutschland.

american Iinef DSuISCnian0.
| New York, March 12.-Prince Henry
of Prussia sailed for Germany On board
the Hamburg-American liner Deutsch-
, land yesterday afternoon. His last day
in America was spent entirely on board
the Deutschland, but it was filled with
pleasing incidents.
The prince breakfasted early and about
10 o'clock began to receive official fare
we'll visitors, including representatives
of Germany in this country and those oi
the United States government.
The members of the party which ac-
companied the prince on his tour were
his guests at luncheon. Covers were
laid for 90 persons in the dining room
of the ship, and music was furnished
by the band from the Hohenzollern.
At the close of the luncheon, when ii
came time to say goodbye, the prince,
taking a rose from the table, said
"This is the badge of that which ]
have been admiring during my entire
trip to the United States-American
beauty" He placed the flower in his
buttonhole, and each guest followed his
example.
Immediately after the luncheon, at
the princes invitation, the party
went to the commanders bridge of the
Deutschland, and was there photo
graphed. Then the real leavetaking
began. The final farewells were said
by members of the German embassy at
Washington.
When the ship sailed all the ap-
proaches and the pier was crowded.
The first cabin section of the Deutsch-
land was packed all the afternoon with
passengers and their friends, and in
many cases women had to be rescued
from the crush to see the prince. The
Deutschland sailed at 3:45. AS she
moved away from her pier the cheering
was continuous. The prince appeared
on the bridge and bowed. ALI down
North river the passing tugs and craft
of every description gave the great liner
and her distinguished passenger noisy
send-off. At the Battery, which was
reached at o'clock, crowd cheered as
the vessel steamed down the bay. The
Deutschland reached the Narrows at
4:35. Forts Wadsworth and Hamilton
fired salutes, which were answered by
the Deutschland, and the garrison at
Fort Wadsworth liNed up on the bluff
until the steamer had passed out into
the lower bay.
The princes apartments on the
Deutschland include the captains cab
in and three other adjoining rooms, es-
pecially connected for his use. The
social hall on the Deutschland was
beautifully decorated with flowers, and
there was profusion of them in the
princes suite of rooms. The company
had also tastefully decorated the pier.

5000 MEN GO ON STRIKE.
Boston Freight Handles Making Hard Fight
for Unlonism.


Boston, March 12.-War between
the organized teamsters, freight and
express handlers of Boston and tive
great railroad compositions, the New
York, New Haven &sHarsford and the
New York Central & Hudson River
Railroads, the latter locally known as
the Boston & Albany, broke out today.
The strike, which ISIS sympathetic one,
already involves 5000 men in and
about Boston.
Stopping work because of the dis
charge of union men who have refused
to handle non-union moved freight, the
various organizations now on strike
made every effort today to extend their
sphere of influence to affiliated bodies,
while the corporations energetically
tried to fill the strikers places and to
receive and dispatch goods offered them.
Both met with some measure of sue
cess. Tomorrow the local employees of
the great express companies, the Adams
and the New York & Boston, two COM
panies which handle practically all of
the fast freight in Southern New Eng
land, will refuse to work, while several
smaller bodies of organized labor, such
as the brewery teamsters and the piano
movers, as we'll as freight handlers in
East Boston, will be idle. On the
other hand, the New York. New Haven
& Hartford Railroad, after succeeding
today in moving considerable freight
by italian labor, will augment the
force tomorrow, and the Boston & AL
bany expects to have large number
of men at work in its freight sheds.
The action of the express men in
joining the freight handlers will quick
IL affect the freight business with near
by business centers like Worcester,
Springfield, Hartford, New Haven,
Providence, Fall River and New Bed
ford.

AT OREGON CITY.
Many Points of Justice Involved Regarding
Rights of Present Owners of Locks and
Manufacturing Enterprises-Shall Govern.
ment Buy or Builds -Stipuiations as to
Lake Washington Canal.

" shingt n, March 13.-The rivers
and harbors bill, as presented by the
house committee, authorizes the secre-
tary of war to ascertain through board
of engineers whether the acquisition of
the present canal and locks at william
cite falls, or the construction of canal
and locks by the government and their
operation for the exclusive benefit of
the navigation of the Willamette river
would, by withrawing the waters of
this river from its customary channels,
materially injure the manufacturing
enterprises now in operation or contem-
plated at the falls; also to ascertain
through the department of justice
whether the Portland General Electric
Company, by view of it's ownership of
property at Willamette falls, has legal
right against the United States for the
full, free and continued use of the man.
ufacuring enterprises now located on its
property; whether the water is needed
for navigation, and if so, what method
would be necessary ON the part of the
government to acquire title to such
water for navigation purposes, and the
measure of damages it must pay the
company.
In making the allowance of $780,
900 for the Seattle canal, the bill stip-
ulates that this appropriation, together
with the unexpended balance, shall be
expended in securing, by dredging the
low water channel 10 feet in depth
from Shilshole bay through Salmon bay
to the wharves at Ballard. The bill
also provides for a board of engineers
to make surveys and examinations as
to the feasibility and advisability of
constructing canal connecting Puget
sound with Lakes Union and Washing
ton, and to also examine route for a
similar canal connecting Elliott bay
with Lakes Union and Washington,
with view to determining the feasibil-
ity of such route. The board of en-
gineers shall invite proposals for the
Seattle and Lake Washington waterway,
and for the construction of similar
canal connecting Elliott bay with both
lakes. This board shall also report on
the relative advantages of all proposed
routes. "Nothing herein shall be con-
strued as the adoption of any project

Meeting Puget sound with Lakes Union

saving phrase inserted in the bill after
the foregoing provisions.
With regard to the appropriation for
Tacoma harbor, the bill stipulates that

OF NO CONSEQUENCE.
Trouble In Merons Province is not Serious
Chaffee and Wright Report.

Chaffee and Wright Report.
Washington, March 11.-Desiring te
ascertain the facts as to conditions in
the province of Morong, Luzon, Secre.
tary Root recently cabled inquiries te
Commissioners Wright and General
Chaffee, which have brought the fol.
lowing replies:
"With reference to your telegram OF
the 9th inst, the facts from Morong
are: About week ago the presidents
of Cainta was kidnapped. The perpe-
traitors of this act was new organiza-
tion gathered in Morong province about
50 strong. They were vigorously
searched for and driven to hiding and
will probably be captured in day or
two. They have inflicted no material
damage. No special significance need
or should attach to this event.
"CHAFFEE."
''There is no foundation for the state
ment of insurrection in Morong or that
the inhabitants are fleeing. Small
fragments of ladrone bands, dispersed
and driven out of the mountains of La
guna by Bells operations. and from
Cavite through recent operations of the
constabulary, in the mountains there,
having about Is guns, gathered In the
mountains of Morong and probably
aided by few outlaws of that section,
raided the village, kidnapping the pres
idente. A small detachment of con-
stabulary under native sergeant at
tackled them but made no impression,
being short of ammunition. Assistant
Chief Atkins was on the ground in q
few hours with an adequate force OF
constabulary, and, assisted in every
way by the native governor Of the prov
ince and the inhabitants, gave pursuit.
They have already killed two, injured
one, captured six and are running the
band down. The presidente has been
released without harm. So far from
there being hostility ON the part of the
mass of people to American authority,
they give US full information of what is
passing and aid US as much as possible.
These ladrones do not interfere with
the whites and confine their operations
to levying tribute upon and occasion
ally kidnapping natives in remote local
tiles. There is nothing new in this, as
it was in existence under the Spanish
government, less SO now than then.
They are being rapidly broken up and
exterminated by the constabulary.
There is no political significance in
their operations. WRIGHT"

DUE NEXT MONTH
INTERNAL REVENUE TAX COL
LECTIONS.
Reduction In Totals Likely This Year
Owing To The Repeal of Some War
Taxes.

Internal Revenue Collector Chamber
lain is preparing to collect the annual
special taxes, due next month for the
coming year, and has sent out notices
to those owing the various taxes. The
amount to be collected by the bureau
this year will probably be less than
formerly, owing to the repeating Of
some of the war taxes. The last pub
lished report of the Treasury Depart
nent showed 592 payers of the special
taxes in Hawaii, the taxation amount
ing to $17 ,625.06.
The returns of the bureau showed 3S9
persons and companies paying the an
nual internal revenue retail liquor Ii
cense tax of $25 per year. for the privi-
lege of selling intoxicating liquors at
retail without interference from the
internal revenue officers. In addition
to these there We're 62 wholesale liquor
licenses issued by the internal revenue
Office three brewers licenses, three re-
tail malt liquor and three wholesale
malt liquor dealers A majority of the
small Chinese and japanese grocery
stores distributed about the Territory,
pay the internal revenue liquor license.
The last time there was also a retail
oleomargarine license and two licenses
were taken out for wholesale dealing
in oleO. One concern was found willing
to pay the pawnbrokers license, though
as far as the Territorial laws go, there
have been no pawnbrokers here. The
penal code provides for license of $3.50
per year, but no licenses are ever taken
out.
The repeal of the war taxes will cut
out a number of the special taxes,
though some remain. There were y
manufacturers of and dealers in to-
/ Ii, To-. hn
will not have to pay this year.
The taxes are payable at the Internal
Revenue Sffice after July l. The Col
lector has sent notices to those subject
to the taxes, and they are expected to
| call and settle with Uncle Sam.

THE NEEDLE AFFECTED
OBSERVATIONS AT THE MAGNETIC
STATION.
Unusual Conditions For Six Hours Dur

Fleming to Leave.

J. A. Fleming Of the United States
Magnetic Observatory in Eva district,
has reported to Professor w. d. Alex
ander that he observed unusual in
fluences at work during the time when
Mont Pelee was doing destruction at
St Pierre. 1t is supposed that there is
a connection between the two events,
and further reports as to effects that
may have been noted during the later
eruptions at ST. Martinique and ST.
Vincent are awaited with interest.
Mr.. Fleming reported a disturbance
of the usual conditions for about six
hours, al the time of the first eruption
a st. Pierre" said Professor Alexander
There was a decrease in the ordinary
currents Complete reports have not
yet been made, and | do not know what
otber effects may have been observed" !"
Magnetic Observer Fleming is to
leave Hawaii in the near future. having
been called to Washington. He has
been in charge of the station here since
1t was established, having superintend-
ed the erection of the building. Flem-
ing was in Alaska before he came here.
He has established stations there and
in other parts of the world for the Unit
ed States government and will probably
be commissioned to keep up the same
class of work.
The station at Eva is to be in charge
of A. Weinrich, who was sent here by
the deferal government to succeed
Fleming. Weinrich is already at the
station and will soon be in full charge.
