WILHELM MADLy IN LOVE.
Grown Prince of Germany would Rsnouucs
tho Throne 20 We'd Miss Gladys Dsa-
con, Of New York.

Paris, Aug. 13.-Le Matin publishes
an extraordinary story Of violent
scenes between the German emperor
and his eldest son, the crown prince.
The paper hints that the cause of the
quarrel is the princes determination
to marry an American girl. At the
last meeting of the father and son
the emperor stamped and swore that
a Hohenzollern prince should never
marry, morganatically or otherwise,
a girl of common American clay,
however beautifully nodded. It is
believed here that the girl in ques-
ton is Miss Gladys Deacon, the fasci-
mating daughter of Edward Parker
Deacon, and the close friend of Con-
suelo, duchess of Marlborough, for
merly Miss Vanderbilt.
Being chastised by the emperor for
his disobedience, the prince threat
ened to do as did the Austrian arch
duke, who took the name of John
Orth and renowned his rights to
the throne for the sake of the woman
he loved. The prince said he would
rather have the heart and hand Of
the American beauty than rank or
purple, or even the throne of the Ger
man empire.

MAY SUMMON SENATE
It ID Said 70 Be the Presidsnts Purpose
70 Allow Senators . Month TO Consider
the Measure Before the Regular
Session In December.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The state
rhent is made, with a claim of being
at least semi-offjcial, that the presi-
session, int WORTHY after the cleo.
ton in November for the purpose Of
considering a reciprocity treaty with
Cuba. 1t is his purpose, it is as
serted, to allow the senators nearly
month in which to consider the
treaty before the opening of the reg
ular session in December. The same
authority claims that the treaty has
been prepared and is in form that
is fully approved by the president.
1t is not by any means certain
that a Cuban reciprocity treaty, if
submitted to the senate at regular
or extra session, would be adopted.
Something like 20 republican sena-
tors are radically opposed to the
adoption of Cuban reciprocity
treaty. Senator's Platt, of Connect
lieut., Hanna, of Ohio and Cullom, Of
Illinois, are practically all the sena-
tors who were ready to 60 on the
floor and fight for Cuban tariff re-
duction bill, desiring its passage even
by the aid of democratic votes. Sem
ator Spooner was ready to aid in this
fight, not because he is ardently in
favor of Cuban reciprocity, but be-
cause he was anxious to aid the presi-
dent and Senators Platt and Hanna,
and because he believed it would be
good legislation from party stand
point. Nearly all of the other repub-
lican senator's were either lukewarm
or Indifferent.

American School Teachers Ambushed Near
Cebu June 10 Were Shown No Mercy
by Their Captors.

Manila, Aug. 13.-An investigation
made by the constabulary to clear
up the facts in the killing of Cebu
coaching party of four school-teach-

teachers were shot and killed at the
first volley; third, who ran, was
shot in the back and a fourth, who
was captured, was shot in the chest
while he was praying for mercy. 1t

and probably would not have caused
death.

had been missing since June 10. The
police killed the leader of the band of
