THE EvERETT-MooRE BUSINESS.
Electric Syndicates Affairs Pretty
Well Strengthened out.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 26.-The bankers
committee has progressed so far with
the work of Strengthening out the af-
fairs of the Everett Moore syndicate
that little more can be done of a de-
cisive nature until the reports of the
experts concerning the condition of the
properties are filed. According to a
statement made last night the commit
tee now stands ready to receive all
bona fide bids for the purchase of cer-
tain of the syndicate properties.
During the past few days the finan-
cial circles of the city have been
greatly encouraged at the general sit
uation as far as Cleveland is particu-
larly concerned. 1t is said the traction
interests are to be allowed to sing out
for themselves, each one as a business
proposition of It's own standing. This
being done the situation evolves large
ly about the telephone interests With
the sale of the federal company, indi-
cations for which seem to be good, the
whole situation will be cleared

THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF.
Senator's VIII Have Much Argument
ON This Subject.

Washington, Jan. 26 - The Sem
ate will devote Its principal at
tention this week to the Philippine
tariff bill. 1t Is the purpose OF ssna-
tor Lodge, who is In charge OF the bill.
to keep 1t before the Senate persist
emily until II is disposed of. He does
not count on final action for some
time. 1t is not the present purpose Of
the friends of the bills to debate 1t,
but the attacks which will be made on
1t, and upon the entire administration
of Philippine affairs, inevitably will
bring replies from many of the Repub-
lican senators. 1t Is understood that a
majority of the senator's on the Demo-
cratic side of the chamber viii be
heard before the bill is passed. Among
those who will speak early are Sena-
tors Carmack, Money, Teller, Culber-
son, Turner, Patterson, Jones of Ar
kansas and Bacon. Senator Lodge will
seek the earliest opportunity to have
the amendments recommended by his
committee formally adopted but prob
ably will not press when senators are
prepared to proceed with set speeches.
Senator Nelson will take advantage
of any chance to have the bill creating
a department of commerce considered,
with the hope of securing action upon
it during the week, IL possible.

New York. Jan. 26.-The Right Rev
erend l.. X. Coppln, who sailed from
bria to take charge of the Fourteenth
Episcopal diocese of the African Meth
odist Episcopal Church in South Africa
returned by the same ship, arriving
here to-day. He is from Philadelphia,

the A. NJ. f. Church to take charge
of the diocese which lies south Of the
0lmbesi river and comprises two con-
ferences, the South African and the
Transvaal.
II found plenty of work awaiting me
when l got out there he said to-day.
THE two conferences We're mapped
out, but were not organized and only
start had been made in the develop
ment. We now have between forty and
fifty churches established with over 100
travelling ministers. We recently have
bought school to prepare students
for collegiate course. We are also
hoping soon to start an industrial and
literary school near Bloemfontein,
modelled on the same general plan as
the school at Tuskegee.
I'VE are seriously handicapped in this
project by the unsettled conditions of
the country on account of the war.
There seems little hope of the terrible
war-cloud lifting. You cannot con-
ceive the condition of affairs over there.
The Beers are gradually being wiped
off the earth. 1t is no longer war, but
process of slow determination. Eng
land will never listen to any arbitra-
ton proposition which means restora-
ton of the republic and the Beers will
accept no other settlement Just as
long as they are able to keep up the
guerrilla method of warfare they can,
Notwithstanding the smallness of their
numbers, keep thousands of soldiers in
the field busy watching them and try
ing to head them off"

GIVEN A COLD DEAL

Friendship Between United states
and Germany-Prince Henry VIII
BE the First German Prince of the
HeigninR House to Tread the Soil
of the Great Republic.
Berlin, Jan. 26.-To-day passed with
out any disrespect being shown to the
Prince of Wales, who arrived here yes
terday evening to represent King Ed
ward at the celebrat tion of the ami
versary of the birth of Emperor Will
liam next Monday. German crowds
have a too deeply abiding respect for
royal personages and are too thor
oughly policed to ever jeer them. But
in a city where the lifting of ones hat
is as universal as ordinary civility it
was singular to see the passing crowd
with never a hat raised, and to hear
no murmirs of applause.
The last experience abroad of the
Prince of Wales was his departure,
amid thunderous cheers from the
shores of Newfoundland while the
streets through which the Prince was
obliged to be driven to-day on his way
to visit the British ambassador here
was without a single British flag.
While receiving the most elaborate
attentions from the family of Emperor
William and from German officials, the
Prince of Wales must feel the chilling
attitude of the German public. Almost
all the newspapers refrain from edito-
rial comment on his visit.
The National Zeitung concludes a
page editorial on the friendship be-
in these words:
THE only object of the visit Of
Prince Henry to the United States is
the cultivation of this sentiment The
German Emperor could give the United
States no better proof of the feelings
and sentiments animating him and the
German people, in regard to the
development of the union as a civiliz-
ing power, than in sending his brother
there. Prince Henry goes, as it were,
as the interpreter of Germanys friend
ship for the United States. He is the
first German Prince from the old
reigning house who treads the soil of
the Great Republic. and undoubtedly
his acquaintanceship with the most
prominent men of the Union will have
a beneficial effect upon national rela-
tions
'"Fhe visit of Prince Henry must dis
sipate all the foolish and malicious as
sertions of political antag gonism be-
tween Germany and the United States,
and of German plans of conquest in
the American sphere of influence and
instead thereof strengthen and estab-
nsh feelings of the mutual recognition
and equality of standing. No treaty be-
tween Germany and the United States
is needed. Ever since the existence of
the United States, peace, friendship
and trade intercourse have prevailed
between us. Prince Henry's trip shows
that we wish to retain the same rela-
tions in the future, and the reception
which the people, the government, and
public opinion are preparing for him
on American soil will give splendid
proof that the Americans cherish sim
liar sentiments and hopes"

Washington. Jan. 26.--'rhe House

the work of the present week as there
are no measures of Importance pressing
for attention, although the anti-oleo-
margarine bill and the Hill bill for the
exchangeability of gold and silver are
both on the calendar, and may be taken
up before long. Thus far no exact time
has been fixed for either of these meas
ures, and the lesser bills will take their
chances as opportunity presents itself.
There promises to be considerable time
to spare during the week, as there are
no appropriation bills ready to fill the
gap when bills of a general nature are
lacking. The chief interest of the week
centers in opening of hearings by the

the members of the committee, Repre-

GERMAN PRESS is SORE.
They Think They Understand the
Object of Lord CranbOrne's state

Berlin, Jan. 26.-The German press
throughout shows irritation over the
alleged British attempts to throw
suspicion on the policy entertained to-
ward the United States by Germany
before the outbreak of the Spanish
American War. Nearly all the Ger
man newspapers viewed the attempts
in the same light as does the Deutsch
Zeitung. Dwelling upon the motives
which actuated the Interpolation of
Henry Norman in the British House
of Commons, Jan. 20, that paper says:
In the London reports cabled to
New York it is alleged that Germany
was the instigator of a plan to bring
about Intervention by the European
powers against the United States This
is blow in the face of truth. But
what of it? 1t might, perhaps, on the
verge of Prince Henry's visit, create
ill-feeling in the United States, in
which event the object underlying Mr..
Norman's Interpolation and the an
swer thereto of Lord Cranborne, as
well as that of the impressions sent
abroad by English newspaper agencies
would be fulfilled"

President schurman Says He II I'm
Line with President Roosevelt.

Ithaca, N. Y, Jan. 26.-President
schurman to-day made statement ex-
planatory OF his recent Boston speech
in which he advocated the eventual in
dependence of the people of the Phil
ippines. The substance of the speech
was that II the Christians of Luzon
and Visaya wanted Independence and
showed themselves capable OF
assuming It, this country would event
ually give IL to them. President Schur-
man to-day said that he believed the
policy he advocated would, more than
anything else, promote the welfare of
the Filipinos. President Roosevelt. he
said, had declared in his message to
Congress that we were 10 do for the
Filipinos far more than any other ma
tion had ever done for a tropical peo-
pie. and that we were TO fit them for
self government after the manner OF
really free races He said he stood with
President Roosevelt In his policy as
against that advocated by Gen.
Wheaton, which would mean colonial
servitude like that OF Java and India.

ish minister, Count Won Buelow and
Count Won Waldersee were present.
EmDeror's Pleasant Words.
Emperor William, in his speech
toasting King Edward at the military
luncheon in the barracks of the First
Royal Dragons. touchingly referred to
the death of Queen Victoria, and re-
ferred to the wonderful colonial tour of
the Prince of Wales as exemplifying the
greatness and the extent Of the British
empire. He invited the company to
drink to the health of the Prince of
Wales as the representative of the
British army. To which toast the
Prince of Wales suitably responded.
