HE PRINCE IN BOSTON.
Massachusetts Crack Regiment
 Was Out For Escort Duty.

Mayor Collins Boarded the Princes
 Train On Its Arrival-The Party
 Then Left the Train and Was Given
 an Ovation All Along the Line
 Policemen on Foot and Mounted
 Guarded Prince Henry's Carriage.
 Boston, March 6-Boston was clad In pure white to-day to receive Prince Henry, as the result of last nights snow storm, and in the bright sun. shine which followed clouds and wind and snow, here garments glistened and sparkled most beautifully. Hun dreds of worEInen were busy at day light clearing the streets through which the Prince and his party were to pass and by o'clock the route was in excellent condition, the thor oughfares had been roped off and de- tails of police were at their stations
 The bad storm of yesterday had it's effect on the decorations. but it did not take long to-day to repair the damage, and nearly the entire route through the city was brilliant with color before the prince arrived. Bos- ton seldom has seen such q display of German flags as she witnessed to-day, for the red, white and black predomin- ated i'll many places oyer the red, white and blue
 Long before the special train was due crowds began to assemble in the neighborhood of the great station, skirting the borders defined by the po- lice in the square recently named for Admiral Dewey, and extending along the streets assigned for the passage of the procession. There was great sat- isfaction that the heavy storm had not caused delay to railroad traffic and that the prince would probably reach Boston by 9:35, the time scheduled fol. him to arrive.
 The mayor with his secretary and other city officials on learning that the princes train was passing Springfield and intermediate stations nearly on time, repaired 10 thet south station shortly after o'clock.
 Meanwhile the first battalion of cav airy, one of the best of Massachu- setts' volunteer troops. had drawn up in the station, ready for escort duty throughout the day A dozen open car riages were in waiting to convey the prince and his party to Hotel Somar- set. their first stopping place i'll the city
 President Eliot of Harvard college conferred the degree of doctor of laws on Prince Henry this afternoon.

4 pnre Beer Hearinc

ALBANY, N. Y, March 6.--The pub lie health committee of the senate gave hearing yesterday afternoon on Sena- tor Maltbys bill. entitled an act to pre- vent deception in the manufacture aud sale of beer, ale and porter. The meas ure is commonly known as the pure beer bill and, while it does not prohibit the use of glucose in the manufacture of beer, it prohibits the label of pure beer' when glucose is used. A large delegation of brewers was present at the hearing and made strong protest against the enactment of the measure, claiming that the use of glucose did not harm beer drinkers, and in fact less than 10 per cent of glucose was used.

Ill New Haven in June, 1903
 New Haven, March 6.--The National council, Knights of Columbus, which has been in session in this city for tue past two days, adjourned last evening, and all the delegates, excepting those from the far west, started for their homes.
 The concluding hours Of the National council were marked by the transaction of much important business. Tn the first place, the new constitution which was drafted at the convention held Ill Cliff Haven, N. Y., last June, was adopted without discussion. The ques- tion of making q level assessment was brought up by John Phelan of Bridge port, and was discussed for three hours. State Deputy Palletier of Mas sachusetts spoke with the Connecticut delegation and said that he favored this plan. The making of the level as- sessment is the original plan of the Connecticut contingent and is being backed up by number of westerners. What the Connecticut men want is that the rate after q man becomes 60 years old, instead of paying S4.6T, as he does now, shall be reduced to S2.5O
 On q motion made by Mir Palletier, the matter was referred to 8 commit tee of five, to be appointed by the su- preme knight
 This committee will prepare a revis- ion of that provision of the new con- stltution and will report at the next annual convention. Tn all probability the proposition of the Connecticut councils for the sixty years level ds- sessment will be adopted according to q statement made by one of the prom inent delegates last night Otherwise the new assessment rates as provided for ill the new constitution stand with out alteration.
 The proposition to establish an IT, surance department for the benefit of associate members was defeated.
 Concerning the proposition of raising S50,O for the establishment of char of secular history in the Catholic uni- versity at Washington, it was an- nounced that $20.00O III cash had d. ready been raised in the order for this purpose. There are S1O,000 additional in pledges. It is expected that the bal ance of S2OOOO will be contributed hy the Knights before April 1.
 The election of four new members to the national board of directors. each for three years, resulted in the fol. lowing choice: George F. Monaghan of Detroit, Mich; James A. Flaherty of Philadelphia, James A. Burns of Or ange. \. J.. and Daniel J. Callahan Of Norfolk, Va
 Thes next annual meeting will he held fn New Haven in June, 1903. Af- ter that convention the date of the an- nual meetings will be fixed by each convention for some date in June.

New Jersey Legislature.

TRENTON, N. J., March 6.-The sen ate has passed the senate bill requiring the state treasurer to deposit the state money in banks that will pay at least 2 per cent interest. The house passed the house bill appropriating $50,000 for state sanitarium for consump- tiyes. A large number of bills were given q second reading, and the two houses adjourned until next Monday night. It is now considered doubtful that the legislature will finally adjourn on March 21. The Sewell memorial exercises are expected to be held on March 24. and it is probable that the session of the legislature will be con- tinued until Friday, March 2S.

 Easton, Hazleton, Wilkesbarre and other points north of Philadelphia re- port that snow fell all day yesterday and still continues There are from twenty-two to twenty inches of snow on tue ground at those points. Heavy drifts have closed up mountain passes, blocked railroads and closed down coal mines. In the northern central section Williamsport reports sixteen inches of snow

IN GRIP OF A STORM.
Snow, sleet and Gale Sweep Many
 States.

NEW YORK, March 6.--The sleet- storm that ragged yesterday afternoon was succeeded at night, after brief intermission, by another fall of snow which is sadly hanpering the efforts of the street cleaning department to clean the main thoroughfares, made all most impossible by means of slush. The snow is dry and threatens to drift badly. A force of about 5000 men is at work on the streets.
 The "Trip to the Moon" building. brought from the Buffalo exposition and erected at Coney Island, was blown down, causing a loss of $10,0o0.
 From all parts of this state come re- ports Of heavy snow and delayed train service.
 The entire Chemung valley is cover ed with snow to the depth of eight to twelve inches. Telegraph and tele- phone service is crippled, and the rail- roads are experiencing difficulty i'll running trains. The snowstorm is T great hardship to the poor people Of the flooded sections.
 A heavy snowstorm prevailed throughout Tompkins county, and the Ithaca Street Railway company is no longer able to run it's cars.
 The worst blizzard Of the season has struck northern New York. Reports from Westport, Port Henry, Crown Point,>Fort Ticonderoga and other lake points state that fierce gale is raging, with q heavy snowfall.
 Just as the railroads in central New York were recovering from the effects of the floods hereabouts they are con- fronted by blizzard which is raging f1ercely. It promises to equal any Of the storms of the winter. All trains are more or less delayed.
 At Saratoga the storm is the worst since 1888.
 Dispatches from various points in Connecticut say that an average Of about twelve inches Of snow has fallen throughout the state. and street car traffic is delayed in All sections. Vest

ELIZABETH, N. J., March 6-The storm has completely demoralized busi- ness in Elizabeth, and the central Jer- sey trolley lines are not in operation. The North Jersey Traction company is operating its lines here, but with great difficulty. All of the factories were closed or short handed. The three big western packing house branches have not q pound of fresh meat Tn their storage houses here. They have been unable to get any since Friday, and a meat famine is imminent Their agents say they have plenty en route, but are utterly unable TO locate the cars. The coal dealers have also run short of coal.

APPEAL WITHDRAWN.
Opposition to the Hartnett License
 Taken Off Assignent List.


 The appeal of the Rev Father Curtin from the decision of the county con- missioners was withdrawn to-day from the assignment list of the superior court. This means that the matter has been withdrawn altogether from the courts. Thus ends on of the greatest temperance fights ever maintained by an individual in this state.
 The appeal has been on the court docket for some time. About a year ago or more, Michael Hartnett applied for license to do q liquor business in the building situated at the corner of South River and Washington streets. This building was formerly known as the Moriarty building, having been owned by Maurice Moriarty. Some time before Mir Eartnett had applied for the liquor license for the place l.e had bought the property, and, it was said at the time. that his main idea in purchasing tho place was to open sa- loon business there About a year or two before that the county comnliS- sfonerS had refused to grant license in that building on grounds furnished by the Rev Father Curtin, who had at that time created considerable agita- ton against the number ot saloons in his parish. Therefore, upon the grounds that the county commissioners had already decreed that the place was all unfit one for q saloon, Father Cur tin remonstrated against Il license being issued to A1r Hartnett. But the county commissioners like the judges of the supreme court of the country on q certain occasion, changed their minds and decided to grant q license to Mir Hartnett. It was from this decision Father Curtin appealed to the superior court. This morning Attorney Pierce, counsel for Father Curtin, notified At torney Carmody, counsel for MT Hart nett. that the appeal had been with drawn.

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
President and Members of Congress
 Discuss Plans.

WASHINGTON, March 6-Speaker Henderson and Representative Cannon of Illinois called at the White House yesterday and discussed with Presi- dent Roosevelt the subject of Cuban reciprocity and the sentiment thereon in the house.
 Active canvassiDg continued among Republican members preliminary to the third caucus on Cuban reciprocity to be held tonight. The most positive claims were made by those opposed to reciprocity plan that there was clear majority against it.
 Mir. Payne and his associates did not concede this, however, and expressed the belief that concession to Cuba ul- tinately will be granted. It was said in this connection that Speaker Hen derson is now favorable to the position taken by the majority on thesways and means committee and that this would exert much influence in shaping the final outcome.
 During the day several members of the cabinet were called on by N1essrs.
  mittee, who has proposed the rebate plan as a substitute for Chairman Payne's 20 per cent reciprocity plan, and Morris of Minnesota, who also has proposed plan differing from that Of MT. Payne. As an outcome of these calls it was asserted that three mem bers of the cabinet-namely, Postmas- ter General Payne, Secretary Shaw and Secretary Wilson-were hopeful of seeing a solution of the problem which would not endanger any American in dustry. This was construed in some quarters to show division in the cab- met, but it was stated by those conver- sant with the situation that the atti- tllde of cabinet members did not war rant any such construction.
 Later in the day Representative Tawney called at the White House and had conference lasting nearly an hour and half with the president. At it's conclusion Mir. Tawney joined sev- eral of his associates who are opposed to the Payne resolution. It developed that Mir. Tawney had told the presi- dent there was little or no possibility of the adoption of the Payne plan by the Republican conference and that if it was adopted some forty Republican members would not consider them selves bound and would carry the question to the floor of the house, where there would be additional com phcations owing to the attitude of Democratic members
 The president is understood to have made his proposition quite clear and in so doing is said to have removed several misapprehensions which have been af1oat of late. He said he had no intention at present of sending a spe- cial message to congress on the sub- fnnf

SNOW FAST DISAPPEARING.
To-day's Strong Sunlight Getting tue
 Upper Hand.


 The snow storm of yesterday dida't do much damage about Waterbury, but 1t put enough of the white flakes on the streets to render it necessary for tue street department to get out with the snow blows and also hire m additional force of men, AIr Kelley had the snow blows out early yester- day afternoon and by this means made walking easy for q large number of people who would otherwise have sui. fered much hardship in getting home from the factories and stores. It seems that the service rendered in this respect is better this year than ever before, and 1t goes without saying that the public appreciates it. It was 1 thought that this storm would result in q weeks good sleighing, but it is doubtful if it will last long enough to give the boys an opportunity to give the girls 8 spin in the most enchanting of all vehicles. the cutter or Sleigh.
 The storm has given the work of clearing the debris cur of the cellars of ruined buildings a temporary set back. but not to the extent some people thought yesterday when they saw the snow coming down at a rate which
 
 gard. Most of the contractors took up the work again to-day and intend to keep at it regardless of the weather. Some of them are clearing out the wreckage for the stone and bricks and seem to think that they can make good money at 1t. After a brick Is cleaned 1t is worth cent, so that picking up bricks is almost the same as finding pennies. It costs about $1.25 per thou. sand to clean them. Tn some Instances this job is let by contract and the fel- lows who do the work get S1.25 for every thousand whole bricks they clean. If they break one it is thrown aside and they receive no compensn- ton for the labor they put in on it This prevents imposition being prac. ticed on the owner and makes the men who have the job more careful than they would be if they didn't care whether they made smithereens of them or not. This forenoon a man picked up good brick and carried ff some distance and then laid 1t down carefully on top of pile of dehris. That fellow is 8 miscr" remarked a bvstander as he touched q match to new cigar. "Djd you sec him pull tbat brick out of the gutter and carry if off?' "Oh. I don't know ahout that" answered his companion. "Wouldn't. you stoop for cent if YOU saw one in the street?'
