The thing merely a kind of grab bag for
ourselves"

PRINCE TALKS OF HIS TRIP.
Henry of Prussia Grateful to Ameri-
cans for Splendid Reception
on His Tour.

CuXhaven, March 19.-The Hamburg
American line steamer Deutschland ar
rived here at 6 o'clock this evening
from C~herbourg, having on board
Prince Henry and suite. The Deutsch-
land was met in the roadstead by the
German battleship Kaiser Wilhelm IL,
on which vas Emperoror William.
His majesty greeted the prince cordial
ly. Prince Henry boarded the battle
ship. which afterward started for Kiel.
As the steamer drew near to CuXhav-
eli. Prince Henry received the corre-
spondent of the Associated Prince in
his cabin. Prince Henry said:
II desire to SEND a last word through
you to America, to say how deeply
grateful | I'm for the measureless kind
ness | received while there. | tried
to say this before | left, but | want to
say again that | am grateful for the
cordial and generous I'M in which
the people and residents of the United
States received me.
Il met and talked with as many indi-
viduals as l could, but, of course, | saw
most of the people in crowds, and
sometimes only from the car platform,
and only long enough to touch my cap
or take off my hat to them. | wish to
thank all those thousands for the trou-
be they took Prince Henry spoke
with feeling. II had no opportunity"
he continued, 'of studying the details
of industry as | would like to have
done"
As to the fatigue of the trip, Prince
Henry said: Il was often tired, and
had to be careful what | said, both
publicly and privately. But since my
long sleeps on board the Deutsch land
/ would be ready to return to America
at nee for just such another trip-this
one has been so full of pleasure and
instruction. 1t is a good thing to look
upon another people, face to face, and
form your W impressions"
Concerning his speech at Philadel-
phia, Prince Henry said: 1T seemed
proper that | should make some such
~utterance, for there are always some
u~ndercurrents running that have to be
taken into account. What | said in my
Philadelphia speech vas precisely the
truth. | might have been thought that
during my talks with President Roose-
welt, and my ride with him alone, |
might have said a word or two of a po-
litical character, but such was not the
case. No political topic was alluded to
on either side"
Prince Henry referred to President
Roosevelt's attentions, and said he had
not received the presidents farewell
telegram, as he was by that time at
sea, and he only saw the text of the
message upon his arrival at Plymouth
The interest Emperor William takes
in Prince Henry's trip was then men
toned, and in this connection the
prince said:
II shall tell his majesty exactly what
| have told you; namely, how | appre-
ciate the kindness shown by the peo-
pie of America. | wish to add a spe-
cial word of thanks for the sympathetic
way in which the American newspapers
treated me. You may be sure the i'm
pressions | received will be lasting"

NEWS OF MISSOURI.
ALL SORTS OF THINGS CAUGHT
FROM THE WIRES.
General Happenings Throughout the
State Prepared for Perusal
by Busy Readers.

The United States department of ag-
r1culture has begun an extensive series
OF experiments in irrigation in Missou-
RI. The irrigating reservoir built on the
state farm in Columbia last year and
finished later in the fall will facilitate
the experiments that have recently been
carried on to some extent as to the feas-
Utility Of irrigation in this climate. Sim
liar experiments are being made in New
Jersey and Wisconsin and the United
States department of agriculture select
ed Missouri as the most representative
state in the Mississippi valley for the
experiments. The reservoir on the state
farm was built by the government,
which will furnish also the funds neces-
sary for carrying on the experimental
work. 1t is 80 feet deep, lovers two and
one-half acres of ground and is so ar
ranged that about Is acres of bottom
land can be watered from it. The crops
that will be put to the test this summer
as to the advantage of irrigation are
corn, potatoes, alfalfa and pasture
grasses.
Last season experiments were made
to some extent with fruits, such as
Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries
and apples, water from the city water
works being used. The effect on straw
berry vines was marked indeed, but as
they were young plants the result as to
the effect on the fruit, of course, could
not be observed. However, the expert
ment will be watched with much inter-
est the coming summer. Careful obser-
vations will be made of the effect of the
soil and atmospheric conditions on the
crops under test and bulletins at vari-
GUS periods of the experiments will in
form the public of results. The soil on
the state farm is well adapted to the ex-
pertinent undertaken. Dean ii. J.
Waters, of the agricultural college, is
interested in the work and is confident
of success.

stonian revolution" They made a de-
monstration, and won over the other
prisoners in the Jail, who started a

Sovereignty in Cuba.

Washington, D. c.. March 19.-Rep-
resentative jenkins OF Wisconsin to-
day introduced a resolution directing
the house committee on judiciary TO
report on a number of questions relat-
ing to the political status of Cuba. viz:
Is Cuba, so far as the United States
is concerned, foreign or domestic ter
ritory?
Has the United States exercised SOW
ereignty over the island and people?
Has the United States a title to the
island, and if not, where does the title
rest?
Numerous other question are also
asked by the resolution. Representa-
tive Jenkins holds that when the SOW
ereignty of Spain over Cuba ended. it
was vested in the United States. and

Mrs. Barnum, Who Met and Married
Husband on Same Day,
Wins in Court


Sioux City. Ia. March 1S.-Judge
Griminson has entered a decree at Co.
lumbus. Neb., awarding the $50. 900 es-
tate of Guy G. Barnum, deceased, to his
widow, formerly Mary c. Delomel, of
Galveston, Tex. The court thus rec
ognizes as valid the wedding that took
place at Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 10,
1899. Barnum met Mary Delomel in
the morning and married her that af-
tcrnoon. The other heirs fought the
will giving her his property. They as
serted that the California marriage was
not valid-that the Southern woman
had unduly Influenced the old man, but
they were overruled. Barnum died last
summer. Barnum a few years ago was
worth 500, 900. He has been a senator
in the Nebraska Legislature and other
wise prominent in the state. But his
reason left him. and he spent several
years in the Nebraska asylum. When
allowed his liberty he roamed over the
country, spending his money right and
left. and finally ending with the Los
Angeles marriage.

sentative Burton OF Ohio made an ex-
tended speech in explanation Of the
measure. in the course of which he pre-

suing fiscal year. whereas it carried
but S24 900, 900 of actual appropriations,
the remaining $50, 900 900 being simply

most mistaken idea the pending meas
ure carried larger appropriations than
any previous bill.
