FOR FRINGE HENRY'S SAPE7Y.
Precautions to be Taken on Ills Arrival
 in New York

New York, Feb. 19.-George R. Bid well, collector of the port, received or ders to- day from Washington saying that no persons excepting the reception committee shall be permitted to board the Kronprinz Wilhelm when she en- ters port and that no one shall be ad mitted beyond the baggage inspection enclosure at the pier when the vessel arrives there This is in furtherance of the governments policy to throw around the person of Prince Henry all the safeguards possible. These new or ders have forced Collector Bidwell to recall a large number of passes which permitted the holder to go on the reve- nue cutter to meet the Kronprinz Will helm and no one will be allowed to witness the arrival of the prince at the pier except members of the reception committee and a few privileged persons who have friends aboard the liner and these last will be kept in the baggage section.

PLAN TO SETTLE STRIKES
SENATOR HANN1'S COMMITTEE
 AGREES UPON 4 SCHEME.

A Consolidation Body to Consist of Nine
 Members-Three to be Selected from
 Capital, Three from Labor and Three
 from the General PubIic-Fnrther Ar-
 rangement for settlement If This
 Committees Efforts Prove Ineffective.
 New York, Feb 19.-The first meet
 ing of the executive committee of thir-
 ty-six appointed through the National
 Civic Federation to arbitrate labor 1 troubles was held here to-day with 1 Senator Hanna in the chair. The ob- ject of the gathering was to receive
 report on working plan by means of which strikes, lockouts and other forms of disputes between capitalists and the 1 laboring class may be settled. This plan was presented by sub committee ill the form of a set of bylaws which provide that the chairman of the exec utive committee of the federation shall appoint a committee on conciliation to consist of nine members, three of whom shall be selected from each group of the
 executive committee, representing cap-
 ital, labor and the general public, whose
 duty 1t shall be, at the request of the chairman, upon informa tion of threat ened strike or lockout of more than To- cal magnitude, to use it's good offices in restoring harmious relations, reporting it's action to the executive committee. Should the efforts of the conciliation committee prove ineffective, and should both parties to the dispute desire the service of the executive committee it is directed that they may be invited to select two employers and an umpire to finally decide the dispute, and they may select a fifth member from the division representing the public. Should "a. con- troversy seem of such magnitude as to justify such action the officers of the | executive committee shall be authorized | to call a meeting of the entire executive | committee to consider the situation and | take such action as may, in it's judg- ment, be required. The executive com mittee may appoint auxiliary commit tees to deal with local disturbances, the rules governing the same to be in har- mony with the general purpose of the industrial department.

PATRICK WILL A FORGERY
VALET JONES SWEARS THAT RICE
 MEYER SIGNED IT.
Saw the DOcu ment tn the Accused Att torney's Office Two Weeks Before the Aged MiiltOnairo's Death and There Was No Signature to 1t Thon-Re- movaI of Obstacles for Probating the WtII.

New York, Feb. 19.-Charles F. Jones
 was again the star witness in the
 Patrick trial to-day. The fact that he
 was the closest person to Millionaire
 Rice in the latter days of his life and
 that at one time he confessed that it
 was he who killed the millionaire by administering chlorosorm at the insti-
 gation of Patrick, as he said. drew all eyes in the crowded court room to him.
 He was on the stand from the opening to the closing of court and has not fin- ished his testimony.
 There was a mass of evidence con- cerning Patrick's alleged drawing of Jones into a conspiracy to utter a forged will by Patrick was to be the principal beneficiary; of Jones' fears of discovery; of Patrick's alleged assur- ance that the tracks of the two would be we'll covered: of the 'doctoring" of MT. Rice's letter book and many other detailsf1 During it all Attorney Patrick listened to the witness story to the jury with what seemed the utmost uncon- cern.
 It was late in the afternoon when Jones touched upon what the state seemed to think was very important evidence It was when Jones was shown the will of 1900-the so-called Patrick will. He had previously testi- fled that Norris Meyer and David l.. Short had heen introduced into the Rice house to make out certain papers, Short acting as notary for Mr. Rice. Jones now swort that Patrick told him Meyer had typewrit ten this will and that when he (Jones) first saw it, the will was unsigned. Then he swore that the only law business Patrick ever did for Rice was to pass on the correctness of some document of MT. Rice's and this was at Jones' request. He swore that to his knowledge MT. Rice never signed the 1900 will and he was certain that he did not sign it on June 30, 1900. He had seen this will in Patrick's off, fee two weeks before MT. Rice died and it was unsigned then. MT. Rice died Sept ember 23, 1900.
 As to Patrick's alleged preparation for removing any obstacles to the pro- batting of the will, Jones said that Pat rick explained that the legacies under the will were designed to remove the possibilities of such opposition and that Patrick went over each paragraph with him (Jones).

H1vo Yukon |1u5heT5
Who Came in Wednesday. Kovr. kuk no Good. Minister from
 Eagle.

After a trip of 2UN miles over snow and Ie, facing hard.hips and dangers, F. NJ. Powers and Vim. Mover of Dawson. arrived here Wednesday noon. With them was Rev. M. Egbert kooncc. a mission ary of the PreShyteri,in church for the Yukon district, who joined them at Eagle and mu.hed through to this place.
 Messrs. Powers and Mover left Dawson on Feb. ,, for the Koyukuk with 1000 pounds of provisions. They went up the Koyukuk 800 miles to Battles and from there te Cold Foot. At these places there are 400 people vii" are in Il des,i- tute condition. They have no money and can ge, no work. The kovukuk has proven a failure. At Cold Foot there are four or five claims working jO men. Some coarse gold i> found. one nugget worth $S21 was picked up. but such hnd~ are very rare. X crevice about three feet wide. which crosses the river. seems to bc the only spot containing gold. Last year the creeks and benches were proven worthless A number from there are on the road to this place.
 The Koyukuk boom was started by townsitc spcculatorS, who have sold many lots in various towns along the river.
 The gentlemen who arrived ve.- ,erday say that travelling on the Yukon was good all winter. They had to break trail from Forty Mile to Copper Center. They report the trail as going out very iaS.. the Copper is Overflowed and travellers have to take the government trail.
 Messrs. Powers and Mayer will remain here and prospect this sum- mer and the Rev. Koonce will take the next boat to the States ior a few months vacation.

Dodgirg a Warrant.

Travelling over the interior from Slate creek to Valdez, and between here and the Bremner for nine months, with warrant for his ar rest hanging over him, has been the experience of Bob Fulkerson. of this place.
 Early last spring there was a warrant made out for his arrest for interfering in the working of q claim on Slack creek, in the Chisna district. The claim was in litiga- ton. and an injunction had been issued restraining Fulkerson and his associates from interfering with Hazelett and Meales in their work upon it. Fulkerson however. did not obey the injunction and forced the company to cease operations, until d counter injunction was served, which closed the claim down entirely for the season.
 Deputy marshal Hasey made a trip to Chisna with the warrant, but his man could not be found. He searched for while and at one time uuknowingly passed with in few feet of where Fulkerson was camped. After spending soane time on Slate creek the marshal re- turned to Valdez. Shortly after he left, Fulkerson reappeared in the camp, where he remained for the rest of the season.
 In the fall, accompanied by John Raeder, he went to Charley creek, a tributary of the Gakona. where the winter was spent trapping. In February the two came to Valdez with a load of furs, and spent about a week in town. When the rush to the Bremner began they made a flying trip to that country and staked some property, again re turning to town early in March for Il summers outfit, which they are now moving to the interior.
 As was announced in last weeks PRosPMTOR, the warrant has now been withdrawn and Mir. Fulkerson is at liberty t0 visit town as often as he wishes, although it does not look as if he had been obliged to forego that pleasure even though a warrant was out for him.

 Mir Chas. Crawford. who was elected councilman at the last city election was elected member of the present council to fill the term of A. l.. Levy, who has never quali- fled.

The clerk was instructed to give 10 days notice of the inten- tion of the council in this matter.
 The matter of the town patent was discussed, and NIT. Crary re- ported that all maps and papers had been sent to the surveyor gem eral and the matter was entirely in his hands.

IS BEING AGITATED FOR THE
 SOUND.
You'd be q WiRRer
And Bring all of the Trade of the Sound to This
 City.

III our iii~t issue we made refer ence to plan that was under con sideration for establishing ferry between this town and the various points "f importance on Prince William sound Since then most otthe merchants of the town have been consulted about the matter and are very favorably inclined toward the scheme.
 A careful estimate made by one of our citizens, who is familiar with the sound and nearly all of the in habitants, shows that there is about $25.000 spent annually for provisions en the sound, and mos. of this money is sent direct to Se- attle. and the goo'l- shipped to Orca or Ellamar. This method of obtaining supplies iS very disad- vantageo,is as there is no way of telling for certainty when the outfit will arrive and the people often have to make several trips to these ports before securing their freight.
 Ii ferry Was operated regularly on fixed dates to all points of any importance on the sonnd, the in habitants could come to Valdez. make their purchases and be land ed back at their homes for q small amount. There are store. at Orca and Ellamar but thee have not the variety of goods and prices are higher. At this place outfits can le bought just as cheaply as at Sc artle and without the risk.
 Another feature would be that d party desirous ef prospecting along the sound could be landed at any desired point and picked up again whenever he wished. This would be saving of time for him. and he would avoid making any long trips in a small boat.
 There iS little doubt but that the seat of government for this district. under the conditions of the pro posed law for redividing the terri tory. will be at this city. and that being the case. people from all along the coast will have business to transact here and must have better means of transportation than now exist.
 The fare from Ellamar to Valdez lay steamer is five dollars. If this Was reduced to q reasonable amount the town would get d large amount of trade from that place alone.
 The ferry would in all probabil- ity not pay its expenses for time, but the town and the merchants would derive so much benefit from the increased business that it would pay them to give a subsidy until it Was established on a paying bas- is. There are boats here which could be secured on reasonable terms and which would answer for the present. and we understand that the wharf company would allow the use of the wharf for d landing place.
 The Chamber of Commerce should take this matter under con sideration. There is no reason why Valdez, with better system of transportation between it and the various points on the sound, should not get all the trade which at pres ent goes to Seattle and the small stores at Orca and Ellamar.
