PickpOcket WAS After Evans.
AS the party was leaving the power
house Admiral Evans felt something
Juggling at his coat, He turned to find
the hand of a youthful looking pick
pocket in one of his pockets. AS the
Admiral shook him off he cody said:
Young man. you'll find my purse
in another pocket"
The Admiral did not delay long
enough to turn the thief over to the
police. At s O'Clock the Prince was
back and aboard his train. Fifteen
minutes later it departed for Boston,
a brief stop at Syracuse being sched-
tiled.
George Daniels general passenger
agent of the New York Central, will
accompany the party to Boston. He
was presented to the Prince.
Fully 10000 people crowded the train
shed and the depot of the New York
Central Railroad, when at 1925 o'clock
the arrival of Prince Henry's special
train at the city line was announced
by the firing of a bomb at the end of
the train house. Immediately red fire
burst forth on the tops of hundreds of
buildings, searchlights pointed out the
American and German flags suspended
from kites in mid-,air and five minutes
later, amidst a grand pyrotechnic dis
play. the train bearing the royal visi-
tor drew slowly into the crowded train
shed. The tremendous crush around
the station interfered with the recep-
ton programme. Fully a dozen wo-
men tainted in the crush and it was
with great difficulty they were taken
out.
In the meantime the assemblage was
cheering and shouted as if mad. After
several fruitless efforts had been made
to check the enthusiasm, the reception
committee boarded the Princes car,
whre they were introduced to the
Prince by the German ambassador,
Won Holleben. After the speech max
ing the Prince was given a handsome
| ly embossed and inscribed album con-
tanning "a beautiful views of the city.

tured in Rochester, was also present.

Cay-His Death Due to Natural
Causes.
New York, March 5.-The testimony
against the charge that Albert I. Pat
rick killed Millionaire William Marsh
tomorrow, the prosecution having
closed it's case to-day. An outline of
what Lawyer Patricks attorneys pur-
pose doing follows, though it is not
probable they have made public all OF
their intentions.
Attorney House will first formally
move that the indictment be dismissed.
Should the motion be denied, he VIII
proceed with the formal opening ad-
dress for the defense, declaring that
Patrick was Rice's friend, not his
murderer.
1t is promised that several eminent
doctors will testify that w. M. Rice
died from natural causes that he was
dead before Jones put the chloroform-
soaked sponge in cone over his face.
1ney will declare that sudden int1ala-
ton of chlor o1orm, such as Jones says
he caused Rice to take must have
awakened him, no matter how sound
ly he slept.
The defense also promises to pro-
duce witnesses who heard Rice say
that he was tired of Texas and Texas
people and wanted nothing more to do
with them; that the people of Texas
would get very little more from him
for the w. NJ. Rice Institute and that
he was going to make new mill in
accordance with this feeling The de-
Tense promises further that 1t will
produce a witness who saw w. M.
Rice sign the Swenson and Fifth ave-
nue. Trust Company checks and send
them to Patrick. DIR, Walker Curry,
who attended Rice, will swear that
he died of natural causes.

Vile.

Washington, March 5.-President
Roosevelt this morning informed SEN
ator Clay that he will appoint Col.
Blodgett to be postmaster at Atlanta.
The appointment will go to the Senate
within the next day or two. The only
reason that it has not been made be-
fore this is other matters have occu-
pied the attention of the President and
Postmaster General.
The Senate to-day confirmed Lifsey
to be postmaster at GAINESVILLE. This
ends the interesting contest over that
office. in which Mr.. Lifsey and Mr.
Harris, the present postmaster, have
been the most prominent figures.
There were charges and counter
charges against both of the leading ap-
plicants for the office, and in view of
this situation Judge Bartlett made an
effort to secure the appointment of W.
B. Howard, a leading Democrat. An
investigation by the Postmaster Cen
eral of the charges made by Harris,
against Lifsey, satisfied that official
that there was nothing in them, and
Lifsey was appointed. Afterwards there
was talk of an effort to prevent his
confirmation by the Senate, but as
there were no good grounds for oppo-
sition his nomination was confirmed to-
day.

postmaster at Oakley Mill, Cobb coun-
ty, in place of c. C. Peed, who has re-

CANAL BUSINESS ALL ASKEW.
coils No Longer i'm Effect and CO.
Iombia Has Held Up Panama Deal.

Washington, March 5.-Every fresh
turn in the development of the 18TH,
milan canal project discloses a new OBJ
stacle. 1t now appeasr that the pro-
tocols negotiated last spring with Mic
aragua and Costa Rica, whereby these
countries outlined the terms upon
which they were prepared to enter into
permanent treaties with the United
States, conveying the necessary rights
for canal construction, are no longer Of
effect. Conditions have changed
since then, and whenever the balance
of opinion seems to incline toward
one route or the other for the canal,
the government interested in the IA
vored route suddenly hardens its terms,
and is disposed to abandon past agree
ments. Therefore it will be necessary
to draw up new protocols not only for
the Panama canal with Colombia, but
for the Nicaragua canal with Costa
RIGA and Nicaragua. in pursuance of
the State Departments policy of plac-
ing it within the power OF Congress to
freely choose either route.
