The city council shuold not turn
down the new telephone proposition

IA growing sentiment that the rates Of
the Colorado Telephone company are
higher than they should be. There
nre times when competition is a good

TO MAKE HENRY WONDER
A 20-Minute Luncheon With New York
Financiers Planned.

New York, Feb. 21.-What the mil
lionaires of America are capable of in
lavish expenditure will be demon
strated to Prince Henry of Prussia
Wednesday when he sits at table as
guest of j. Pierpont Morgan and
eighty of the greatest financiers in the
world. 1t will be the most remarkable
Observation-Disclosures prince will enjoy
in his stay in America.
In the official itenerary its full sig
nificance is concealed under the simple
announcement CT "a luncheon with
representatives of commerce and in
industry" The banquet-for it is
more in the nature of "a banquet than
a luncheon-will take place in the
grand ball room of Sherry's. 10 will
be, possibly, the most elaborate
function of its character ever held in
America, and, in the personnel of it's
hosts and the vastness of wealth and
the industries they represent, will be
far beyond tie experience of any
European prince of the blood.

Is BUT THE FIRST STEP
Danish Islands Will Require Legisla
tiOn

Washington, Feb. 2l. The ratifca-
tion by the Senate of the treaty pro-
viding for the purchase OF the Danish
West Indies marks but the beginning
of legislation which must be provided
for the islands. 1t is intended to make
the islands into a territory like the
Hawaiian islands, but with COVER
nor appointed by the President.
The subject Will be considered in
Senator Foraker's committee, which.
asia result of the acquisition Of the
Danish West Indies, will be changed
inn anne. The committee is known now
as the committee on Pacific islands and
Porto Rico. The new name is TO be
committee on Pacific and West Indian
islands. What name to give the
island will probablyl be suggested by
Senator Foraker's committee. The
"New Antilles" is suggested, or the
"Caribs." Efforts have been made to
secure the Danish islands in success
sive administrations. The first attempt
was made during the presidency of
Abraham Lincoln.
Many applications have been receiv-
ed by the President for the position as
governor of the islands, but these are
premature. There is some talk of
combining the islands with Porto Rico
in way to give jurisdiction to the
Governor of IPerto Rico over all of
them
Senator Cullom fortified himself
with many facts relative to the islands.
One of the oddities developed by his
investigation is the fact that out of a
total population of 33, 900 souls there
are but thirteen Americans. In the
island of St. John there are 9l5 peo-
Pile, only two of whom are white, one
being a Danish official sustained by
his government, and the other a mis-
sionary. ST. John has an unusually
interesting history.
The sugar industry was well devel-
oped for a time, but one night the
blacks rose and massacred all the
whites. Denmark attempted to sub
due the natives, but was obliged to
call upon France for assistance. The
punitive expedition resulted in such
frightful atrocities on the part of the
Danes as to result in 400 ofthe natives
committing suicide in a single night.
The natives now are tractable and
peaceable, and so ignorant in themain
that the question of citizenship will
not be raised for some time to come

TO MAKE 1T 20 PER CENT
A Decision has Been Reached in the
Cuban Tariff


Washington, Feb. 22.-The Repub.
lican members OF the ways and means
committee, who have been consider
ing the questions Of concessions to
Cuba at several meetings during the
week, finally reached an agreement
this afternoon which is considered a
victory for those who favored tariff
concessions to that island. The ac-
tion taken was the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of
the majority members of this commit
tee subject to the approval of the Re.
publican members of the house in eau
Gus assembled, to be held as soon as
practicable that the committee report
bill in substance authorizing the
president to negotiate reciprocity
treaty with the Cuban republic, when
established, providing for the entry
of our products into Cuba upon such
terms as shall be deemed by him to be
advantageous to us: provided, how.
ever, that such treaty shall secure for
our products going into Cuba duties
less than those allowed to other coun-
tries substantially equivalent to con-
cessions made by us; that the 'consid-
GRAFTON upon our part for such treaty
shall be a concession of 20 per cent o
our tariff, duties upon imports, the
products of Cuba, upon this condition:
That Cuba shall first sanction our inn
migration laws"
BY the terms of this resolution, the
proposition agreed on by the Repub-
lican members of the committee will
be submitted to Republican caucus
to be held next Tuesday. The action
is practically the proposition submit
ted few days ago by Representative
Long, of Kansas, except that the
amount of the concession is cut in
half, and the condition precedent that
Cuba enact our immigration laws is
added. The action by the committee
this afternoon was preceded by con-
ference at the White House between
the president and representatives
Grosvenor, of Ohio; Russell, of Con-
necticut, and Dalzell, of Pennsy
all OF whom have heretofore stood out
against any form of reciprocity pro-
vision. The action of the Republican
members was unamious

WELCOME THE PRINCE
The Prince was day Late on Account
of Rough Seas Encountered
on the way Over

Washington, Feb. Beautiful
clear weather favored Prince Henry's
entry to Washington. The city bore
holiday appearance. Washington
had turned out enmasse and hundreds
came from Virginia and Maryland.
Bands paraded the street playing Ger
man and American airs The stand
ards of the United States and Hohen-
zollerns floated in the breezes. If
Henry expected to see an unmiitary
people he found much at Pennsylvania
station to ocause him to revise his idea.
From the station to the White House
he passed through unbroken line of
soldiers and police, and thence to the
German embassy in a like manner.
Sentries stood everywhere. Without
state department pass it was i'm
possible to encroach on the passage
reserved for the first member of
sovereign's family to visit this coun-
try officially. The Prince and escort
reached the White House at ten forty
five.
At the station Henry wearing an
admiral's uniform entered an open
carriage with the secretary of State,
Hay and Admiral Evans, sitting fac
ing them. Other open carriages car
ried his suite and army and navy Of
6cers in fulluniforms. Behind the lines
of the national guard citizens were
packed solid. They we're enthusiastic
in an unusual degree. Henry's face
glowed with pleasure andiwith enthus-
iasm. The Prince saluted constantly
touching his cooked hat with his hand
The carriage stopped under the
great porte cochere atthe White House
and the Prince was escorted into the
east room, where his suite remained.
Then the Prince with two,army escorts
passed by the cabinet and ladies in
the green room, the Prince bowng
gracefully. Here the escort left the
Prince and he entered the blue parlor
alone, being greeted at the threshold
by the President Their greet
ings were most cordial. After
few minutes the president conducted
the Prince into the red room where
Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss Alice we're
presented and the Prince Expressed
himself as delighted to meet the ladies
and was particularly complimentary
to Miss Alice. Afterwards the Prince
was taken to the green room again
where he met the cabinet

LONG is TO RESIGN
Now That the Schley Caseis Settled
He Will Retire.

Washington, Feb. 20--Now that the
Schley matter has been settled
officially, it is understood that Secre-
tary Long feels that he is at liberty to
carry out the project cherished by him
in the last year of President McKin-
ley's administration to retire to pri-
vate life. However, this is not ex-
pected to ensue at once, for there is no
certain knowledge of what may follow
in congress, Notwithstanding strong
belief by the administration that the
case is settled beyond revival. There
fore, it is understood that the change
in the cabinet circle willno take place
before the adjournment of the present
session of congress, and perhaps not
until next autumn.
Reports having been rather widely
circulated that Attorney General Knox
had decided to resign from the cabinet.
it can be stated that there is absolute
ly no basis of fact for these reports.

THE PRESIDENT DID 1T
Mr.. Knox Was Told to Act in Oppos-
ing the Railroad Merger" :"

Washington, Feb. 2l-More interest
is shown by Western congressman in
the announcement of Attorney Gener-
al Knox in regard to the merger ca Sc
than in the Presidents review of the
Schley controversy. Those who have
been forced by public pressure to con-
suit the President in regard to the
merger are not surprised at the turn
affairs have taken. To delegations
from the Northwest which have visited
the White House, the President has
openly expressed his disapproval of the
merger and kindred consolid ations.
The only doubt entertained by the Re-
publicans from Minnesota at a"y time
was with regard to Attorney General
Knox. To newspaper men today At
torney General Knox declared that
his statement was so explicit that it
left nothing mora to be said by him
The Attorney General holds to the
idea that the merger does not differ in
legal status from other railroad COM
binations which have been held by the
supreme court to be in restraint of
trade. The point involved is not
whether the merger has operated or
will operate to control rates and de-
stroy competition, butwhether the COR
poration so formed has been placed

Decided Saturday that they will not
Fuse With the Democrats the
Coming Year

Topeka, Feb. 2l.-We recommend
that state convention of the People s
party of Kansas be called for the pur-
pose of nominating a state ticket. We
demand a vigorous campaign in favor
of our state ticket and for the pro-
mitigation of the principles of the Peo-
pies party.
After lorg fight this is what the
Populist convention finally adopted
here today. A strong faction, led by
ex-Congressman Ridgely, favored
absolute surrender to the Democrats,
but there were enough of the old time
Populists to defeat this plan.
The meeting was lively fight
throughout. Majority and minority
reports were filed by the committee
on resolutions on the subject of fusion.
These were referred back to the COM
mittee and night session ordered {.
At the night session exactly the same
reports were submitted, one favoring
and one opposing the atflliation with
the Democrats. The fight was stub
born and finally resulted in accepting
the majority report. No plans for the
future conduct of the party were made,
other than the party would run it's
own affairs without the assistance of
the Democrats.
About 320 Populists met in Repre-
sentative hall here today. in response
TO a call issued by the state committee
for a delegate conference to decide
upon the future policy of the party.
The call provided for 7l2 delegates.
The fusion and anti-fusion factions in
the conference worked hard last night
lining up their supporters. and they
were anxious for a test of strength
this morning.
w. j. Babb was elected chairman
and C. 'B. Hoffman secretary of the
committee.
The committee on resolutions began
work early in the afternoon and did
not finish until nearly I O'Clock in the
evening. 1t was discovered early in
the afternoon that the committee was
fighting over the resolutions. Andrew
Shearer, |. II. Wright and p. =.
Elder were in favor of fusion with the
Democrats in any way that would be
satisfactory to the Democrats. They
fought hard for a resolution, favoring
fusion, but were worn out by the
other ten members of the committee.
When the resolutions finally came be-
fore the conference the delegates were
tired and worn out by the speeches on
all subjects, from the isthmian canal
to the visit of Prince Henry, which
had been made during the afternoon.
They were in no mood to discuss the
resolutions. 1t was decided that the
resolutions offered no satisfactory
way out Of the trouble ahead for the
party and after minority resolution
had been voted down, the committee
was sent back to patch up the major
ity resolution and make it more hope
full in tone.
The resolution which was submitted
contained long preamble setting
forth the history of the party and the
principles of government for which it
stands.

LONG CONFIRMS 1T
Says 1t Is True That He Intends to
Retire From the Cabinet

Washington, Feb. 81. After the
cabinet meeting today Secretary Long
stated that the report that he intended
leaving the cabinet was quite true.
He said he had fixed upon no especial
date for his leaving and he had not
yet formally sent his resignation to
the president and might not do so for
some time. The president, however,
was fully aware of his purpose, which
was formed many months ago.

in position where it could do these
things. The adverse decisions of the
supreme court in the Transmissouri
and Joint Traffic association cases are
in line with this contention. The case
now pending before the supreme court
introduces none of the questions in
volved in the suit which the Attorney
General will institute. That case is
merely one testing the power of the
State of Minnesota to regulate a COR
poration incorporated under the laws
of the State of New Jersey. The At
torney General drives at the root of
trouble.
OFFICIALS SURPRISED.
New York, Feb 2l.-Bankers of this
city identified with the formation of
the Northern Securities company we're
greatly surprised to learn, and at
first refused to believe, that Attorney
General Knox is preparing case
against the company.
They pointed that a decision on a
cognate case from the Supreme court
of the United States is expected on
Monday next. They were unable to
understand why notice of another
action should be given pending the
decision.
1t is stated 20 be the intention OF
both the Hill-Morgan and the Kuhn
Loeb-Harriman syndicates to fight the
case out to the end. All of the bank
ers who were seen expressed themselves
as confident of the result
A long legal battle is promised, but
it is understood that no matter what
the decision may be, the dominating
idea which brought the Northern Sc
urities company into life, will be sub
stantially maintained. A contingency
such as has arisen, authorities say,
was forseen by the legal talent when
the last details were arranged some
months ago, and provision is made
for the carrying out of the commun ity
of ownership idea.

ACTlNOLITE A FAILURE.
Apparatus Not Successful In Treat

Apparatus Not Successful In Treat
ment of Cancer, EtN
New York, Dec 9.-The ~actinolite
an apparatus for the treatment of can
Ger, tuberculosis and similar diseases
by means Of powerfully concentrated
violet rays, which was installed in one
of the apartments of Flower hospit
al last May, does not give encourag
ing results according to DR.. Forbes
The actinolite apparatus resembles a
powerful searchlight in appearance
and is used to produce a light which
1t was hoped would possess all the
curative properties of the X-rays with
out their Objectionable features. But
while it does not, the X-rays do, burn
the cuticle and cause loss of hair from
the face and scalp; it appears also tc
lack their power of combating the
germs or parasites which are suppos
ed to be the cause of cancer and tu
berculosis
DR.. Forbes said that although the
actinOlite had been somewhat bene
f1cial in few cases of skin tubercul
osis it had proved totally ineffective
against cancer and he gave it as his
opinion that it was practically a fail
ure. He said that the hospital had
returned to the use of the X-rays in
the treatment of practically all such
diseases.
