Caracas, Monday, Dec. 29.-United
States Minister Bowen has received in
formation that the Dutch steamer
Prins Maurits has entered certain
Venezuelan ports blockaded by the
British fleet and discharged her cargo
there. Special permission for the
Dutch steamer to do this was obtained
from Commodore Montgomerie, of the
British cruiser Charybdis. The Italian
cruiser Giovanni Rausan ordered the
Prins Maurits away from port, but
Commodore Montgomerie directed that
she continue to discharge her cargo. In
Caracas this is held to be discrimina-
tion against American steamers, and
the British Commodores action has
been criticised.

PRINCE HENRY BEWILDERED,
His Private Opinion of America Comes
to the Surface.

Berlin, March 26.-From the pri-
vacy OF his flagship, Prince Henry
permitted few confidential retlec-
tions on his trip to drift to Berlin.
He declared that he was chiefly i'm
pressed with the territorial magni-
tude and numerical strength OF the
United States. He found President
Roosevelt a marvel of frankness and
energy and cordially liked his habit
OF saying what he meant and mean-
ing what he said. The members OF
the princes party say that the Presi-
dents animation was occasionally
bewildering.
Theprince is anxious to pay visit
to the United States at some future
time, travelling incognito, free from
the restrictions of reception commit
tees, with unlimited leave of absence
and large letter of credit. He was
disappointed because the time at his
disposal made possible only n super
fetal estimate of men and conditions.
| He found the people the best behav-
ed in the world, and specially remark
ed their individual determination to
keep order, The prince says that he
never feared anarchists, after having
seen typical American crowd handle
itself. He discovered that American
millionaires have other tastes besides
money-making, and was astonished
at their keen insight into political
and economic conditions in Europe.
The riding exhibition at West
Poiut convinced the prince that the
American cavalrymen are the most
dash,ng troops in the world. He
found the new warships parsgons,
but thinks that considerable part
of the navy will soon be out of date.
In his opinion, the American sailors
are inferior in some respects to the
German salts. He admired the lake
marine.
The rich floral displays he saw
everywhere are among his mostabid-
ing memories, and he wasparticular-
ly pleased with the receptions at st.
Louis and Milwaukee, because OF
their marked simplicity. The prince
declared that Chicago's lake front is
an ideal setting for IA great city, and
regrets his inability to make IA tour
of the great lakes.
One of the deepest impressions OF
several of Henry's suite is the charges
of American hotels and cabdrivers.

THE TROUSERS,
BY PAUL LAWRENCE DUNBAR.

1t was a nasty. rainy Sunday
i, morning. The dripping skies lower
ed forbiddingly and the ground
about the quarters wasslippery with
mud and punctuated with frequent
dirty puddles where the rain had col
lected in low spots.
Through this, Brother Parder, like
the good pastor that he was, was
carefully picking his way toward the
log meeting house on the border OF
the big woods, for neither storm nor
rain could keep him away from his
duty however careless his flock may
be. He was well on his way when he
was arrested by the sound OF voice
calling him from one OF the cabins,
and Ike, one of the hands, came run
ming aftrr him. His wife, Caroline,
was sick, and as she could not 60 to
church, she desired the pastors i'm
mediate spiritual ministrations at
at her own house.
The preacher turned back eagerly.
His duty was always sweet to him
and nothing gave him SO keen sense
of pleasure as to feel that he was
Vlur ;sd to attend to all that needed
him-that one duty crowded upon
the heels of another.
Moreover, he was strong man o.
PRAYER in the sick room and some
word that he should say might fall
as a seed upon the uncultivateo
ground of Ikes heart, or if not, that
he might heap GOALS OF fire upon hi
head, for he was still a sinner.
With these thoughts and sPecula
tions in his mind, he started back te
the cabin. But alas, for his haste
a sneaking, insidious piece OF lane
lay in wait for him. Upon this III
stepped. In anoth rinstant, his fee'
were pointing straight before hin
and he sat down suddenly in one o
I the biggest OF the mudpuddles Thu
tails of his long coat spread ou
q! about him and covered him like I
blanket.
"oomphl' he exclaimed as If tn
impact had driven words from hi
Inns. and for moment he sat look
ing pitiiully up into Ike's face, as
to see if there were any laughte
there. But there was no mirth il
