Berlin, March 17.--Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia, after completing
the feet maneuvers during the COM

mand of the first squadron, which he
has held for two years. Prince Hen.

Henry will be in command of the
double squadron maneuvers next
year.

EN- TOME ED.
Remains of the Late John p. Altgeid
Inferred In Grace1and Cene-
terry, Chicago.

Chicago, March 1.-THE body Of
John p. Altgeld was viewed Saturday
by host of those to whom he was
dear in life. From IL o'clock in the
morning until ten at night an almost
continuous procession marched by the
fiower-laden catafalque in the north
corridor of the public library, on which
rested the remains of the former gov
ernor. A conservative estimate places
the number of persons who took last
look at the body at $4,000.
An imposing procession escorted the
remains from the public library build
ing at IL a. m. Sunday as far as Lincoln
park on the route to Graceland Gem
etery. Political and labor organiza-
tions and fraternal societies were rep
resented in the procession. In car
riages rode Gov. Yates and his official
staff and ex-Govs. Hamilton and Fifer,
the only surviving ex-governors of the
state, except Senator Cullom, who
could not leave Washington The serv-
ices at the cemetery were very simple,
yet very impressive.
After the casket had been lowered
into the grave eloquent tributes to
the dead were offered by Hon. Will
liam Jennings Bryan and Exon
gresham Charles A. Towne, of Min
nesota. The former also spoke feel
ingly at the public library building
just before the funeral procession
started.

FOR PHILIPPINE RELIEF.
The Democrats Position ON the
Tarin Bill for That Purpose IL
for Obstruction.

The Philippine tariff bill, as amend
ed, passed the senate by strict party
vote. The republicans solidly sup
ported it, the democrats with equal
unanimity voting against it. The demo-
cratic attitude in the senate is practi-
cally the same as in the house, where
the minority, with but few striking ex-
ceptions, also antagonized the bill at
the time Of it's passage, says the Troy
Times.
The democratic position is neither
logical nor patriotic. The Philippines
belong to the United States under the
terms of treaty ratified by democrat
ic as well as republican votes in the
senate. The question what shall be
done with them is not a partisan one.
Just at present the most vital matter
is that of providing them with an in
come sufficient to meet the needs OF
government, and of relieving their in.
dustries and commerce from burden
some exactions. The tariff bill 10
framed with the commendable purpose
of meeting these needs. Yet the DEM
ocratic minority sturdily opposes the
plan.
But the bill will become law. The
house is yet to act on the amendments
made by the senate, though there In
little likelihood of serious disagree
ment, and the measure is pretty GER
tain to go to the president and to re-
ceive his approval before many days
have passed. AS it stands now the bill
requires articles imported into the
Philippines to pay such duties as may
be imposed by the Philippine commits
sion, while articles imported into the
United States from the Philippines
shall pay duty of rs per cent. of the
rates fixed by the Dingley law on inn
ports from other countries, less tho
export duty that may be levied at the
shipping point. Relief from the navi-
cation laws of the United States is also
granted to commerce passing between
the Philippines and this country, and
the internal revenue laws of the Unit
ed States are suspended SO far as con-
Germs articles manufactured in bonded
manufacturing warehouses of import
ed materials or of materials subject
to such tax and shipped to the Philip
pines.
All the duties and taxes collected un-
der the law are to be paid into the
treasury of the Philippine islands. In
short, in order to help the islands the
American government surrenders
considerable portion of the income IL
might otherwise receive. This is the
same broad policy it has pursued to-
ward Porto Rico and is proof of i'll
kindly spirit toward its far casters
possessions.

DRIFT OF OPINION.

OCol. Bryan now admits that he
talked too much in 1896 and 1900. But
the admission is not startlingly new.
There once was a parrot which made
the same confession.-Troy Times.
G1The democratic politicians who
are trying to make political capital out
of the visit of Prince Henry are likely
to discover that the German-Ameri-
cans have votes.-Cleveland Leader.
tIThe headlines of democratic pa
per declare that the greatest business
revival now obtains in the states south
of Mason and Dixon's line" This In
doubtless true, but it came with re-
publican policies.-Indianapolis Jour
nal.
.uDThere are few silver men left.
Twenty-Five out of the Al silver mem

rtor. Better have your fun now, for
Colorado will soon come into the re-
publican column and all silver men win
then be sent to the extreme rear

PENSION LEGISLATION.
More Bills for Private Claims Than
Can Receive Attention Are
Now Before Congress.

Washington, March 17-Senators
and members of congress are very
much interested in the fact that the
pension appropriation bill soon will
become law, because they hope to
obtain from it some relief from the
pressure on them to secure private
pension legislation. The bill con-
tains provision making it "a Grim
inal offense for attorneys, claim
agents or other persons to receive
compensation for services rendered
in connection with the passage
through congress of private pension
bills. They say there are now many
times as many bills before congress
as possibly can receive attention dur
ing the congress and the number is
increasing daily. They recognize that
many of the bills represent just
claims, but they also feel that claim
attorneys have been more active than
they were called upon to be. 1t is
also declared that claimants have
been imposed on in many cases and
persuaded to pay money for the in
PRODUCTION of bills which stand no
show of becoming laws. The bill is
now in the hands of the president.
