called at the white house and talked
with the president before he started for
the capitol to attend the Mckinley me-

impression prevails that he talked over
the political situation In Illinois and en-
deayored to persuade the president to
make a few appointments that have
been recommended by the Yates-Lori-

Non.un;on Printers Strike.

Chicago, Feb. 2S.-A strike six years
old caused fresh trouble yesterday
when forty-five non-union printers
walked out at the plant of M. A. Dono-
hue & Co. 415 Dearborn street. Not
only the age of the strike and the fact
that non-union men are the strikers
make 1t unique, but 1t also developed
that the union men on the outside and
the non union men have Joined hands
The strikers declared that the press
men and press feeders are also ar
ranging to walk out. making ma
iority of the 200 workmen employed
at the plant.
1t was in 1896 that this strike against
the plant was first declared. The firm
was then known as Donohue & Henne-
berry. 1t was one of the few large
plants in Chicago that the printers
and pressmen were unable to unionize
and there has been continual fight
against it by the union since that
time. All the union men in the es-
tablishment were called out and the
place was put on the unfair list.

A NAI[RY WELCOME
Prince Henry and Party Deluged
With Rain on Visit to
Annapolis.
The Program Carried Out With
Difficulty on Account Of
Storm.
Naval Cadets March Thru Water
and Mud for the
Prince.

Annapolis. Feb 2S-Prince Henry and
party arrived here at 1926 in a driving
rainstorm; but the naval men and their
brother officers of the German party
scorned to surrender to a storm. and
with all their military fnery went thru
the program arranged in their honor.
Local militiamen lined the streets from
the depot to the academy grounds. and
hundreds of people were out to see the
distinguished visitor. AS the carriage
of the prince reached the grounds SAL
ute of twnety-one guns was sounded.
The prince was driven to a canvass
covered stand and the cadets marched
past in review. There was little shelter
from the rain in the stand, but the
prince faced the rain and stood at at
tention as the cadets came up. Pools
of water had formed on the parade
ground and the mud was ankle deep.
When the cadets corps left the sodden
field the line of march was indicated
by scores of rubber shoes held fast In
the mud. The visitors were then hur-
ried into their carriages and driven
thru the army grounds They visited
the cadets quarters and mechanical
laboratory and also looked over this
new buildings that are being erected
AS they left the parade ground light
ming flashed thru the sky and there was
rumble of thunder. and the electrical
storm seemed to give fresh vigor to the
rainstorm. The train carrying Prince
Henry made slow run from Washing
ton. During the trip Secretary Long,
to whom the car "Garonne" had been
| especially assigned, went to the car
! Victoria" and called on the Prince.
Later party of American naval officers
was presented and Senator Hale and
Representative Foss also paid their re-
spects. The prince greeted them all
very cordially When the train reached
Annapolis station 1t was cut in two and
| the three rear cars backed into the de-
pot. Out in the street beyond the de-
pot marine guard stood at atteHtfon in
a rain that carried the color from theta
unifroms as it streamed from them. In-
side the depot grounds two lines OF po-
| lice made lane thru to the street.
| AS the prince appeared the marine
guard presented arms. Commander
Wainwright. commandant of the acad-
emy, formally welcomed the prince and
showed him to closed carriage. The
depot entrance was canopied, but the
rain dripped thru the canvas.

contrary to the constitution. He
made an elaborate lawyer-like argu-
ment against the present form of the
bill. Both of the senators declared
themselves as decidedly in favor of
the bill in it's general features. Just
how it is to be amended to retain Its
essential features and still not violate
feeling quite prevalent in the SEN
ate that there has been too much OF
a loading of the board of control with
matters of this kind which do not
properly pertain to the work of that
board. So long as the board is COM
posed of men who are as good as
those now on the board and who mean
so we'll, there is no danger from this
source but there is feeling that the
board already has all the powers and
duties which ought to be given 1T. II
the motion to reconsider prevails, then
the reformatory bill will go to the ju-
dietary committee and receive q care
full consideration.
The senatorial redistricting bill pro-
posed by Hubbard is not meeting with
a warm reception. The members from
the counties affected by the proposed
union of Marshall and Hardin coun-
ties in one senatorial district are not
going to give it any support. From
the four counties of Marshall, Hardin,
Hamilton and Wright there are six
members of the legislature. All but
one of these members are opposed TO
the proposed new district and they
will do all they can to defeat the pro-
posed change If this is the state of
affairs all over the state the bill VIII
not get very far.
The discussions before the senate
by the railroad representatives and
ways and means committee yesterday
by the railroad representatives and
others was declared by all to be the
most satisfactory OF all. senator
Lewis explained his position briefly
and spoke for the subcommittee of
the senate and Judge Cook and Car
roll Wright spoke for their railroad
companies But the discussion was
right to the point. 1t is apparent now
that there is not such a wide gap be-
tween the railroad representatives and
the members of the committee as had
been made to appear at the start. III
the hearings are continued long the
matter will be disposed of without
much friction. Judge Cook especially
got down to the heart of the matter
and declared his belief that he and
Senator Lewis could sit down and
draw up bill that would be satisfac-
tory to the senators and railroad com
panies. He suggested some changes
in the bill before the committee. which,
he said, would make it entirely accept
