in the United States senate on the
22d over the Philippine tariff bill
Senators Tillman and McLaurin, of
South Carolina, INDUCED in fisticuffs
and both were held in contempt and
deprived of all rights to speak or
vote pending further action. The
house ways and means committee de-
cided to report in favor of straight
reciprocity for Cuba.
The United States senate on the
Gath passed the Philippine tariff bill
by vote of 46 to 26 after eight hours
of debate, during which Senator Wei
lington called Senator McComas a
liar. The house passed bill to divide
Texas into four judicial districts, and
then took up the diplomatic and con-
sular appropriation bill, which carries
an appropriation Of $1,931,67s, an in
crease of $s2,950 over last year. It
was made the vehicle for speeches on
trusts, coinage and other irrelevant
matters.
Senator Mason (Ill) introduced a
bill in the United States senate on
the 25th to establish department of
physical culture, the head of the new
department to have a seat in The
cabinet. Senator Frye, president pro
tempore, ordered the names of Sen
ators Tillman and McLaurin restored
to the roll, but this action does not
give them the right to vote until the
senate has passed upon the case.
The house passed the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill. 1t was
the fifth of the regular annual sup
ply measures to be sent to the SEN
ate at this session.

special guest of Herman Ridder, pro-
prietor of the New Yorker Stats

sembled in the united States. There
was q felicitous exchange of greet
ings between Prince Henry and the
men who spoke for the journalistic

Capt. Joshua w. Wheaton,, of Chin
colleague, Va, enjoys the distinction
of owning the only wild goose farm
in the world. He owns 100 acres
along the coast and geese come there
every year in vast focks to hatch
their young. When they are still
young Mr.. Wheaton, cuts their wings
and thus keeps them captive. Long
rows of roosts are provided and the
geese hatch there every year, much
to the captains financial benefit.

guests, were exquisitely beautiful.
The great east room, where were con-
Quoted the princes suite, the German
ambassador and staff, the American
officers and other prominent guests,
was handsomely decorated.
1t was 10: As o'clock when the
prince, accompanied by Secretary
Hay and Admiral Evans, and escort
ed by column of cavalry and de-
tachment of marines headed by it's
famous band, arrived at the white
house.
In conformity with diplomatic Ell
quette the president received the roy
al visitor in private and without in
PRODUCTION. This was made necessary
by the fact that there is now in the
United States no representative of the
German nation of sufficiently high
rank to present to the president a
prince of the blood royal, brother
and personal representative of the
German emperor.
After the greetings had been ex-
tended the president led the prince
into the red parlor and introduced him
to Mrs. Roosevelt and his daughter,
Miss Alice. After a few words with
them the royal visitor was conducted
into the green room and introduced
to the members of the cabinet and
their ladies. After the ceremony the
following statement was made by AS
sistant Secretary Perice:
''The conversation between the pres
ident and the prince was of purely
formal nature and had no political
significance farther than that con-
tanned in the usual general express
sions of international amity and good
WILL"
The party then proceeded to the
east room, where the members of the
princes suite we're introduced to the
president. The entire ceremony occu-
pied just 80 minutes, the party arriv-
ing at 10:45 and departing at 1918
o'clock. On the party reappearing the
marine band played Hands Across the
Sea-" and with few sharp military
commands the drive to the German
embassy was begun.
President Returns the Call.
At 11:40 a. m. President Roosevelt
returned Prince Henry's visit. He
drove to the German embassy in an
open landau with Col. Bingham. The
president was met at the carriage by
Ambassador Won Holleben and ush-
cred into the building. The prince
met him in the drawing room, where
there was an exchange of amenities.
The president and prince remained to-
gether for about ten minutes.

AN IMPORTANT CAPTURE.
Gen. Lul&ban, the Famous Filipino
Chieftain, Run Down on Island
of Samar,

Washington, Feb. 27.-Gen. Chaffee
Wednesday notified the war depart
ment that Lieut.. Stribler, of the Phil
1pplne scouts, captured Gen. Lukban
on the 22d inst. The prisoner is con-
fined at Laguna.
The officials of the war depart
ment regard the capture of Lul1ban
as the most important military event
since Aguinaldo's capture. He was
run down on the island of Samar.
Lucban is one of the most energetic
and ferocious of rebels He is half
breed, mixture of Chinese and Fill
pino stock, and he has been an ire
cOncilable from the first. He had
various Businesses in the mountains
of Samar from which he would de-
scend upon the coast towns. and his
reign of terror was so complete that
the entire population of the island
paid tribute to him as the price of
freedom from attack. Ordinary cam
paign methods failed in his case, and
this capture now is believed to be the
natural working out of the system
of dividing the island into small
squares by military garrisons and
making it impossible for the insur-
gents to obtain food or shelter.

Gov. Tillman, of South Carolina,

state. The animus of the incident is
found in the fact that the president
ton extended to Senator Tillnnan to
be present at the white house dinner
to Prince Henry, the formal with
drawal being made necessary when
Tillman declined to accept hint
that he was not wanted and insisted
on being an unwelcome guest.
