BOY CONVICTS WILL
NOT WEAR THE
STRIPES
PRISON COMMISSION HAS ADOPT
ED A NEW RULE RELATING TO
JUVENILE PRIsoNERs-WILL
ALSO Be EDUCATED.

Boy convicts at the state prison farm
will not wear stripes hereafter, but Will
be clothed in suits of brown. This is a
new rule just adopted by the state prison
commission. Besides being given the
privilege of dofing the convict stripe the
boys will be taught to read and write.
The rule will be put into effect imme-
diately, and it is believed by the officials
of the penitentiary that it will work well.
The idea in making the change is to sepa-
rate the boys from the men, and to refrom
them If possible. 1t is thought that ii
they come in contact W. the hardened
criminals it would be a difficult matter to
impress them with ideas of right and
wrong.
So hereafter the boys will not wear the
stripes, and will be taught reading and
writing. Speaking of the new rule, Prison
Commissioner Clement A. Evans said this
morning: IT think the rule will work
we'll believe it will be.a good thing for
the boys as 1t will show them that they
are not regular convicts. We are going to
try and reform all the Juvenile prisoners
at the farm, so that when released they
will make good citizens. I think If they
were confiled.with the men, some of whom
are hardened criminals, they would be i'm
pressed with wrong ideas. and it would be
difficult matter to control them prop
erly."
The uniforms of brown which will be
worn by the small boys will be made at
the farm, as is all the other clothing.
A youthful prisoner George Estes, Of
Rome was taken to the farm several
DAYS ago for stealing. a. gun. He is only
IA years old, and the prison officials hope
to make q good citizen out Of him before
his sentence expires.

At ALLEGED SLIGHT

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Formal pro-
test has been made by the ambassadors
of the foreign powers in Washington as a
result of the action Of the congressional
committee in seating them behind the
justices of the supreme court at the Nc
Kinley memorial exercises.
Lord Pauncefote. dean of the diplomatic
corps, called on Secretary Hay,
and for almost an hour was closeted with
that official discussing the rights Of the
ambassadors
The secretary fully concurred in the
view expressed by the British ambassador
that he and his colleagues should have
been seated next to the president, and
sould only express regret for the disre-
gard of International etiquette displayed
by Senator Foraker and Representative
Grosvenor, who formed the committee
having charge of the arrangements for
the exercises.
AS result of the discussion between
the secretary and Lord Pauncefote, it de-
veloped today that set of regulations
will be adopted which win definitely de-
termine the status of ambassadors at all
official functions.

POINTED QUESTION
BY HUGHES DECLINED

WASHINGTON. March 5.-In reply to a
series Of questions by Senator Patterson,
and other minority members of the SEN
ate committee on Philippines today, Cen
eral Hughes said the Filipino forces
could have been of little assistance if it
had been necessary to capture Manila
from the Spaniards by assault.
THE capture of that city was by pre-
arrangement between General Merritt and
Admiral Dewey and the Spanish comman-
der. was il not?" Mr.. Patterson asked.
Il know nothing about that responded
General Hughes.
LAS a military man. what is your be-
lief, founded upon your conversation with
your superior officers?'' Mr.. Patterson
then asked.
Senator Beveridge insisted that the
question was not proper but Senator Pat
terson insisted that 1t was.
Il would ask said the witness, ''if
Il would not be better to excuse me from
answering in view of the fact that Cen
eral Merritt is In Washington and you
can get the information from him at
first hand"
Il prefer to ask you"
Il don't think / should answer that
question" replied General Hughes.
Continuing his testimony in reply to
further questions the witness said the
Filipinos had aided the Americans ma
terially by their knowledge of the coun-
try and the accommodations that they
had supplied. but that the Filipinos had
never been considered a part of the fight
ing force in the operations against the
Spanish forces.
THE principal connection with them
was to keep them out OF the way" he
said.

GOV. TAFT CONTINUES
HIS PHILIPPINE TALK

WASHINGTON, March 4-Governor
Taft was examined by the house commit
tee on insular affairs on the different
phases in the Philippine islands. In ans
wer TO a question Governor Taft said that
with dual form OF gOvernment-military
and civil-it was inevitable that some fric-
ton should be created at some time Gov
ernor Taft stated. however that each
side was sincerely striving TO work out
the problems presented. The governor es-
timated that the United States military
force could be reduced to 15,000 men in one
year from this time. and he thought 5000
would suffice now.
Governor Taft again expressed himself
favorably TO a % per cent reduction in the
duties and said that while the proposed
3 per cent reduction might do something.
II hardly would AFFORD the relief de-
sired.
He said IL was a mistake 20 believe there
would be any dumping Of large amounts
Of Philippine tobacco and other goods on
the American markets. as the products
were too small 10 AFFECT this market, al
though ultimately the tariff concessions
would develop great trade between the
United States and the Philippines.
The governor presented letters from the
large representatives Of labor in the is
lands. urging the need Of Chinese skilled
labor. He gave 10000 Chinese as the out
side figures for the entire group Of islands
and said that the assertion that the pop
ulation reached LEO. 600 makes en- exag-
geration. The hearing continues today.

Thousands Are Disap-
pointed When They
Are Told Prince Is
Sound Asleep.

CLEVELAND, March 5-Prince Henry
was too tired to appear for any of the re-
ceptions informally rendered TO him by the
cities through which he passed in north
western Ohio until his arrival in Cleveland
at $40.
The people of Toledo were ANXIOUS to
greet the prince and nearly 1000 Of them
were at the depot at $40 O'Clock when the
special came in and stopped. They had
a band and two big bouquets and were all
ready to extend the hospitable hand. They
had telegraphed the prince asking for a
chance to meet him, but the telegram had
miscarried and the prince was sleeping
unconscious of the reception.
The band awakened him, but itswas too
late then to get up The bouquets were
thrown aboard and later some of the
trainmen presented them to the prince
There was another crowd at Sandusky,
but the prince had fallen asleep again
and did not come out.
He was tired last night. but the long. re-
freshing sleep which he got completely re-
stored him.
There has been some apprehension
aboard the train about the possible de-
lay in New York state on account of the
floods. and 1t has been practically decided
that If the train cannot be put through on
the routes mapped out for it without ex-
tended delay IT willebe transferred to one
of the Southern lines.
Thousands of people forced their way
through gates at the union, station when
the train bearing the prince and his par
ty arrived in this city.
In the absence of Mayor Johnson. Act
ing Mayor Beacon appeared at the side
of Prince Henrys car and was invited
TO enter. Mr.. Beacon informed Prince
Henry that the people of Cleveland were
very much disappointed in not being able
to have the honor of his presence here
for a longer period.
Prince Henry said he regretted that q
longer stop had not been arranged.
Mr.. Beacon at the request of the crowd
urged him to appear on the platform and
make brief address.
At this juncture. a former valet to
Prince Henry on a German warship APP
peared at the rear of the car. He gave
his name as Peter Karpp. of this city.
Send him in" said Prince Henry, when
notified of the mans presence.
The prince recognized him Immediately
and there was an enthusiastic hand sha-
king. The conversation lasted for several
minutes.
Prince Henry then stepped out on he
car platform. Cheers rang out from the
crowd followed by calls for speech.
The prince smiled and bowed, but point
ed to his throat and remarked that he was
too hoarse to attempt 20 deliser a speech.
After stop OF fifteen minutes the train
pulled out for the east at 9:25.
