HENRY Is COMING.
He Will Sail For the United States Saturday.


 Saturday.
 Berlin. Feb. u.-Prince Henry of Prus. sia, will sail for the United States on Saturday as arranged.
 Even should President Rooseyelts sons illness result fatally before that time. is Is probable the Prince will enter upon his Journey. unless 1t should appear to bs President Roossvelt's desire that his visis be deferred or olottted altogether. The Associated Press bulletins telling of the illness of President Roosevelts son have been sent to the Prince at the Schloss.
 The Prince manifests great interest in them and expressed his sorrow at young Roosevelts illness. and said he hoped ho would recover.
 It is understood both Emperor William and Prince Henry have sent personal messages to President Roosevelt. The first impulse of Prince Henry was to postpone his trip or to give 1t up alto gether He was advised, however, not to make this decision. This visit is not a personal one to President Roosevelt, but to the United States, and while fatal ending to young Rooseyelt,s illness would limit the Presi- dents part in the Inequalities to strict- ly official basis; the remainder of the program might be carried out. To Secretary Hay and Dr. Won Holle- ben, the German Ambassador at Wash ton will be left the arrangement of the program of Prince Henry's visit If the illness of young Roosevelt makes such a change necessary.

BEFORE CANAL COMMITTEE
Differed from Senator Morgan
 on Many Propositions.
The Florida Man Thinks the French Company Can Give . Valid Tie tie to its Property and
 Concessions.

Washington, Feb. 11.-Former United States Senator Pasco, now a member of the Isthmian Canal Commission, testified before the Senate Committee on Inter-oceanic Canals today that he had carefully. investigated the prop osition made by the new Pan- anna Canal Company for the sale Of the Panama Canal rights. and that he was fully convinced that under the French laws and the usage of the French courts, that company has valid title to the franchises and right-of-way to the canal and clear. therefore. to make a transfer to the United States. which would hold in law.
 He expressed the further opinion that trouble might arise over the right-of- way in dealing with Central American Government but said that this trouble is as probable in dealing with Nicaragua and Costa Rica as with Colombia Tn reply to questions. Mir. Pasco said he un- derstoood that there are now two gen. tlemen in the city from Colombia for the purpose of cooperating with the Minis ter from that country in granting the necessary concessions for the construc- ton of the Panama route by the United States.
 Mir Pasco was questioned at length by Senator Morgan as to the effect of the various treaties between the United States and other powers relative to the canal ,and also as to the bearing of the French laws on the proposed transfer, the result being that Messrs. Pasco and Mor- gan disagreed squarely on most of those points Senator Morgan also sought to bring out the fact that a concession of only ninety mine years in the way of a lease, such as has been given to the Pan anna Company by the Colombian Govern meIit, would not be sufficient to meet the demands of the United States in case the profrer of sale on the part of the Panama Company should be accepted by thi' country, and Mir. Pasco agreed with him on that point. adding his opinion that a concession in perpetuity could be secured from Colombia.
 He assented to a suggestion made by Senator Foster of Louisiana that an in- vestigation of title in France might be necessary in case the purchase should be decided upon. but added that such an in- quiry would not be a serious undertaking.
 Paris is not far away he said.

SENATE CONSIDERS
 THE CROZIER CASE
SEVERAL OBJECTIONS TO CON- FIRMATION OF HIS APPOINT MENT TO BE CHIEF OF ORD- NANCE BUREAU.

Washington, June 13.-With the excep- tion of A few minutes devoted to the reading of the Presidents message, the time necessary to confirm two nomina- tions at the beginning of the session, the Senate spent the entire day in consid ering the nomination of Capt. w. Crozier to be chief of the Bureau of Ordnance. The principal speeches of the day were made by Senators Cockrell and Proctor, the former favoring the confirmation and the latter opposing that course.
 Senator Proctor declared that under the law he clearly was ineligible. Sena- tor Proctor also referred to the fact that General Crozier is the patentee of the Burlington CroZier gun carriage, and he and others who stood with him. asserted that no officer possessing such an inter est should be put at the head of a bu- reau which controls the use of such patents. He also asserted that 1t was un- usal to go so low as the rank of cap tain in selecting the heads of staff corps and said that this proceeding had had no precedent since the Civil war.
 Senator Cockrell said the appointment had been made because of the exceptional fitness of Captain Crozier for the posi- ton, and that he was in every way per sonaliy and professionally worthy of the compliment which the appointment im- piled.
 Senator Foraker said that as mem Der of the committee on military affairs he originally had opposed Captain Croz- ier's nomination, but that he had done so because at that time the general was a member of the board of ordnance and fotifications. Now. however, since Cap tain Crozier had been removed from that place, he did not consider the nom ination objectionable and was prepared to vote for consideration. Senators Warren and Harris. called special attention to the fact that Captain Crcsier has trans ferred all his United States patents to the government. and that he had realised nothing from his foreign patents.
 The session adjourned without the Sem ate reaching conclusion on the ques- ton.
