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

New York, March l2.-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
well visitors, including representatives
of Germany in this country and those of
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 % 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 it
came time to say goodbye, the prince,
taking 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 leavetakiny
began. The final farewells were said
by members of the German embassy at
Washington.
When the ship sailed all the APP
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. All 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, a crowd cheered as
the vessel steamed down the bay. The
Deutschland reached the Narrows at
1875. 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 tasteiully decorated the pier.

BATTLE OF Aqua DUCCE.
Eight Hundred Men on Both Sides Reported
to Have Been Killed.

Colon, Colombia, March 1.-THE
following report was obtained from the
government troops, which arrived here
Yesterday from Bocas del Toro:
Upon finding the revolutionary attack
upon Aqua Dulce, February %, to be
irresistible, owing to the enemy's SUI
pcrior numbers, their artillery and
their supplies of ammunition, General
Castro tried to retreat to David and
Chiriqui, which towns were known to
be hard pressed by the revolutionists
under Quintero and Perez. This is Il
long and tiresome march of over POO
miles. Shortly after leaving Horcon-
itos small body of government troops
was met. These men reported that
Colonel Luque had been killed in battle
and that the revolntionists were in pos
session of David. General Castro,
therefore, decided to try to effect the
difficult march across the mountains to
Bocas de Toro. The march occupied I
days, during the last five of which
bananas were the only obtainable food.
Drinking water was plentiful.

QUESTION OF COAL WEIGHING
Reading Does Not Mine by the Ton-Blast
at the U. NJ. w.


at the U. NJ. w.
On the ton question Baer says that
when coal Is mined by the ton 1t Is
customary and necessary to make al
lowances for slate and impurities. But
this company does not mine by the
ton. 1t denies that there is anything
unreasonable or unfair in the method
it has practiced in arriving at the
measurement of the coal from its
mines"
Then Baer attacks the U. NJ. W.,
declaring it bituminOus coal organ
ization. its product being a rival in
the market of anthracite, and that since
its (the L. Nj. W. advent into the
anthracite fields the business condi-
tiOns hav ebeen intOlerable on account
of strikes, lack of discipline, etc. He
continues: "At the Shamokin conven-

COMES DOWN TO LATER TINES
When the Kaiser's People Were Charged
with Sympathy for Spain.


Therefore" said White, when some
of my fellow citizens endeavored to re-
proach Germany with anti-American
feeling i'm the more recent military
struggle in which my country was en-
gagged with another power l reminded
them that this more recent estrange-
ment was infinitely outweighed by the
fact that in tie struggle for our very
existence, one nation-Germany-s
by us through evil and good report"
White said that while the United
States, on a superficial view, appeared
to be the most materialistic of ma
tions the people of the United States
were among those most powerfully
swayed by beliefs and ideals of senti-
ment.
Referring to the love of peace of the
United States the ex-ambassadOr said:
1.-The case which has just been arbi-
trated between the United States and
Mexico shows abundantly that the
United States, had it been anxious to
fight or desirous of plunder, might
easily have wrought the question of
the Pious fund into casus belli, but
on the contrary the matter was quiet
ly referred to The Hague tribunal, and
there Is was quietly settled"
Referring again to the Indebtedness
of the United States to Germany
White said it was curious fact that
while down to the middle of the last
century the ideas controlling United
States institutions of learning had been
derived almost entirely from Great
Britain, during the entire latter part
of the century the ideas and methods
which permeGted and gave substance
to United States instruction in every
field-whether literature, science. theo-
logy, medicine or mechanical processes;
in the entire range of higher instruc-
ton, save in law-had come and are
still coming from Germany.
White made sympathetic reference to
Emperor William and Prince Henry,
and in conclusion said: IL offer you a.,
a toast, with my renewed thanks AMI
farewell, this my heartfelt wish: The
good will between Germany and the
United States, may it ever continue
and may it ever increase"

INDIANA IRON ORE PROPERTY

Indianapolis, Nov. lit has de-

Stevenson and d. NJ. Parry, of this
city, and an officer of high rank in

ed in the purchase of iron ore lands in

right and secured leases on an aggre

The leases permit them to enter the
lands for the purpose Of taking miner
ais of any kind that may be found
under them, but the owners have the
privilege of cultivating the soil where
it does not interfere with the terms Of
the lease. 1t is said that the company

What President Baer RepIiesIto

United Mine Workers.
MOST OF THEM ARE OoNTRADIOTED
q. NJ. w. Called q Disturber Only, In
the Region of the Anthra-
cite Mines.

Washington, Nov. u. - President
Baer, of the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron company, has filed with
the anthracite coal strike commission
the reply of that company to the de-
mands made by John Mitchell, presi-
dent of the U. NJ. W., concerning the
points involved in the anthracite coal
strike. The statement starts out by
saying that the p. and r. company
owns thirty-sev IN cOllertes and at the
time the strike began had 26,S29 en-
plOyes at work. 1t then denies the
justice of Mitchelrs first demand for
40 per cent increase" in the wages of
contract and piece work men, and de-
clares that with due allowances for
differences In conditions the present
anthracite wage scale is not lower
than that paid bituminOus miners.
As to Average Annual Earnings.
In like manner the paper denies that
the anthracite wage scale is lower than
that paid In other occupations in the
same locality, ETC.; that the average
anthracite mines, and generally all
the assertions made in Mitchell's state
ment heretofore printed. With refer
ence to average mine earnings the COM
pany's statement says: This company
is not informed as to the average an
nuai earnings In the bituminOus coal
fields, but it AYERS that nearly all of its
former employees who during the past
five months worked in the bituminous
mines have returned to the anthracite
regions, preferring to work in the an
thracite mines. And it further AYERS
that the annual earnings of the an
thracite mine workers is largely re-
many days as 1t is customary to work
In other occupations"
Prosperity OF the Miners.
Baer says further along: This COM
pany AYERS that 1t is true that the an
thracite coal regions almost entirely
dependent on the anthracite mining in
Iustry) are among the most prosperous
in the United States; that employees
of temperate and economical habits
have saved money and invested their
savings In houses, building associa-
tions and other property, and that de-
posits in savings, state and national
banks aggregating millions Of dollars
have been made by such employees;
that the standard Of living is equal to
that of the average American work
men; that the towns and cities are bet
ter than any mining towns in the BIZ
luminous coal fields of the United
States"

Shown in Three Notable Incidents
of the Recent Elections in
the States.
WHAT HAPPENED IN CALIFORNIA

View of Lilly White" Re-
publicanism.

Washington. Nov. 1.-THE impor-
tant part played by the labor vote In
many sections of the country in the re-
cent election has not failed to impress
itself on the minds of students of pol
itics here. The workingmeh's vote in
many places puzzled both political par
ties, but indicates strongly that organ
lied labor is beginning to use the bal
lot as a means of immense power. TAX
ing last Tuesdays results as sample,
the unions in the future may nominate
Ileir own candidates and act inde-
dendently of the old parties or may
throw their votes to men who believe
in their policies and demands.
Union Labor Vote In California.
In at least three sections of the cOun-
try the labor vote, cast almost as
body. cut most important figure. IN
many other places it welded an indi-
rect influence that amounted to great
deal. In California the union labor
vote overturned two Republican repre-
sentatives and put union men In their
places. Representatives Kahn and
Loud both are to be succeeded by un-
ion men who received the Democratic
nomina lions. The union labor vote came
near electing Democratic governor in
California, the Republican nominee
receiving a majority of only a few
thousand. The same interests some
time ago elected one of their number, a
musician. mayor of San Francisco.
Cause of tine Rhode Island slump.
A street car strike at Providence,
r. l., last summer caused the election
of a Democratic member of congress
and Democratic governor and lieu
tenant governor in Rhode Island. The
Democratic congressional committee
had made no pretense of claiming a
district in Rhode Island, and not
even the most optimistic Democratic
prophets attempted to claim the cleo
ton Of Democratic governor in a
rock-ribbed Republican state like
Rhode Island. The change was brought
about by the labor vote.
Upheaval In . Pennsylvania District.
In the Eleventh Pennsylvania dis
trict the United Mine Workers took a
hand and surprised leaders of both
parties. The miners elected George
Howell, Democrat, to congress from
that district In place Of Representa-
tive Connell, the millionaire coal op-
orator. who has represented the dis
trict for years. The miners not only
elected Howell. but chose three MEM
bers Of the lower house Of the legisla-
ture. defeating Republican nominees
by unexpected majorities.
