CHICAGO BY SUNLIGHT.
Prince Henry Has Another View of
 the City.


 Chicago, March 4.-The Chicago which Prince Henry of Prussia saw last night by the glare of many lights. was repre- sented to him today by the clearer light of the sun. The welcome which he re- ceived last night was repeated and em- phasized, and he was given further op- portunity to enjoy his expressed desire of meeting American citizens at close range. During the day he listened to an address from the Central Bund. of St. Paul. placed a wreath on the Lincoln monument in Lincoln Park and enjoyed luncheon and reception at the Germania Club. ,The Prince arose early, but 1t was near ly 10 o'clock before he appeared before the 5000 who waited in front of the hotel to see him. The Prince concluded that a drive about the city would best please him. Fournier, the French chaufYier, stood ready to take the Prince for a mile minute whisk about the boulevards. but the latter decided in favor of a car riage in order that the members of his entourage might also enjoy the bracing morning air. As the long cavalcade, un- heralded, sped through the streets, knots of people rushed from buildings generally too late to see the Prince. The first stop was made at the new building of the Illi- nois Trust and Savings Bank. President John Mitchell showed the Prince through the institution. The Rookery, one of the city's finest office buildings. was next visited. Both at the bank and the Rook- cry. when the Prince came out, crowds awaited and cheered him. The Prince seemed pleasesd at the demonstrations, and repeatedly touched his cap. He was shown thus through retail and wholesale districts. A short stop was made at the Public Library. where the Prince said to Mayor Harrison that the city was to be

MARYLAND POLITICS.
Senator Germans Opponents Threat
 en to Make Trouble.

New Orleans, March IA speclal to The Times-Democrat from Washington says:
 The situation in Maryland politics grows more interesting. Senator Cor mans future as large factor in the na- ticnaI Democratic party Is In the balance. Is that the combination between the Re- publicans and the anti -adrninistration Democrats, as the opponents or Mr. Sor- man within his party are called. has been strengthened. These independent Demo crats, now numbering five, claimed to- day that they had an accession or two, if not three, from those on the fence. The control of the Legislature is involved In this situation. l. power in the Senate. and the Repub- iicans, with the five independent Demo- crats in the lower house. and all ponti. cal legislation is blocked. The political legislation initiated in the Senate by as necessary to domination in the State and the political machinery of the party. The election bill. which. 1t is charged, will more effectually disfran- ciise the negro vote in the Democrauc interest, Is their most important meas ure, and will pass the Senate. but under present conditions will be defeated In the House. On the other side, those measures initiated by the Republicans and supported by the independent Dem ocrats in the lower house. to wit: the election. corrupt practices and school commission bills, called reform measures. but aimed at Senator Germans power, If passed In the House will meet with defeat in the Senate.
 So it seems to be that when the Legis- iature adjourns March S1 the political situation will be precisely what 1t was last fall. the old line Democrats holoing nartiaI power in the State, and the con trol of the party machinery by Senator Gorman's friends matter of large doebt.
 Therefore. if during the year to come MT. German cannot in the various na- tional Democratic movements move with the weight and authority of an assured position as the favorite son of Maryland. having at his back solid delegation. his influence in the councils will be lessened In this city the contest Is watched with keen interest by Democrats from all narta of the country.

senor LAnuxa Argues for the Alleged
 Embex8ler.
 Havana, March 4--At the continuation today of the trfals of the eases growing out of the Cuban postal frauds Senor Lanusa, counsel for Estes c. Rathbone. showed that of thirty-six duplicate cheeks thirty were endorsed by Chief Clerk Brts- tow and six by, Rathbone and that of thirty checks, twepty-thres were drawn and endorsed by Bristow during Rath- bones absence and still said Senor Lanusa, Brictows Is not indicted. The Fiscal has charged Rathbone with pur- chasing Spanish magazine from the postal funds for his private use. Senor Lanuxa, referring to this charge. argued that Rathbone could not read Spanish and that the magazine was for the gem eral information of the post ofice. He showed by the official records of the ex- penditures of army ofncers in Cuba that they had purchased Spanish and Ameri- can papers and charged them to the in- sular funds.
 Senor Lanuxa said the government alleged that about $12o.0oo had been stolen and charged c. F. W. Nicely, with steal ing $94,000 It was unreasonable to sup pose he continued, that if Rathbone. w. H. Reeves and possibly C.. M. Rich were in the conspiracy they would have been satisfied with $26,000. Regarding the private expenses and receipts. of Rath- bone during his term of ohice. Senor Lanuza recalled that one government ex- pert had testified that Rathbone's re- ceipts amounted to Noo0. while his. ex- penses amounted to $11 900.

YOUNG JAPAN TICKLED
ALLIANCE WITH ENoLANT
 CAUSE FOR JOY.
Conclusion of the Diplomatic Union Celebrated in Many Parts of '. the Kingdom-Marquis
 Ito e Hero.

Tokio, Feb. H, via Victoria, B. C.. March z--Japan has gone wild with de- light over the conclusion of the Anglo yspanese alliance and is only consider ing how best to celebrate. Until the rat ffcation everything is in embryo, but some of the communities will not be denied. There has been an elaborate torch light procession at Tokio, besides the formal interchange of congratula- tions at joint meeting held by the two Houses of the Diet, at which Sir Claude Macdonald, the British Minister, was present At various towns in Japan spe- cial celebrations have already been held or are in contemplation.
 The vernacular press is brimming over the diplomatic union," flags are flying, and altogether young Japan is batting itself on the back. Ex-Minister of For- eign Affairs Kato touched the keynote or popunlar sentiment the other day when In speech touching on the proper meth odh of receiving the news of the alli- ance he said that Japan should accept her position with all dignity. There should be no question of using the op- portunity to ask England to- aid in the introduction of foreign capital in Japan. Such course would be like bridegroom asking his father-in-law for money on the day of the wedding. It would be fit- ting, said MT. Kato, that Japan should slgnalize the occasion by sending over to the naval review to be held at Spithead during King Edwards coronation some representative warship which would be more effective than oratory or cham pagne in dark corner of the empire.
 This idea of MT. kato's has taken hold and today 1t is reported that Premier Katsura has obtained the sanction of the Emperor to send first class battle ship and A cruiser to take part in the Sptthead naval demonstration.
 The Chambers of Commerce throughout the country are also preparing to send two representative merchants to attend the coronation ceremonies.
 Another feature this spring will be the joint naval monoeuvers by the British and Japanese fleets in the China Sea in honor of the conclusion of the alliance. The British were going to hold the ma noeuvers there anyway and it is now proposed that their squadron will be re- inforced from the Japanese fleet As it happens Russia is preparing to hold na- val manoeuvers in the same region about the same time and the coincidence has ben noted.
 Marquis Ito. ex-Premier, who has been on trfumphal tour of the world is ex- pected to arrive at Nagasaki on the 18th instant, His return will be made the signal for "a marked demonstration of welcome. Although Marquis Ito was not in London when the treaty was signed and 1t is more than rumored that he was half inclined to treat with Russia for an alliance, still popular sentiment ascribes to Marquis Ito the. real credit for the conclusion of the convention.

 es eet iDsn peMoerstic cfS i this " city tonight Letters were read from ex-President Gro ger Cleveland; Mayor Tom l.. Johnson of Cleveland. John De Witt Warner of New York. and Henry w. Lamb, President De Armond's speech was a severe ar raignment of the Republican national ad- ministration for it's .'imperialistic policy" He spoke in part as follows:
 Those in control of the government carried it further in few years than ever before 1t was carried In generations and almost everything that has been re- Earded as sacred by our fUrefathers has been disresarded. The burden and duty 1t back to sound principles,
 The time was when this continent was supposed to be sufficient, but the time has come when far distant lands beyond the sea are to be brought under our do- minion contrary to the teachings of all the wise men of our history" ,.
 Adverting to the need of tariff reform, Mir. De Armond said: The only author ity for taxation is the necessity for rev. enue only. Tariff taxation should be SO adjusted as to bring the largest amount of revenue for the needs of the govern ment with the least amount of burden upon those who bear the burdens of tax atton. The present system of taxation has built up mighty trusts that make leg islatures and control legislatures. It is the mission of the Democratic party to do what can be done for the interests of the American republic in an endeavor to overthrow such system. Tariff reform properly applied should take the tariff of those commodities sold abroad cheaper than they can be bought In America
 Referring to the American merchant marine. Mir. De Armnod said ''The time ought to come when American ships deep. when travellers should see more than one American flag on the ocean, Mir. George made a plea for free trade" 43 1-

ICE GORGE IN THE PLATTE.
The River Higher Than Has Been
 Known for Twenty Years.

Louisville Neb., March 4-An ice gorge which began forming above the Missouri Pacific bridge near this city yesterday morning, has reached formidable propor- lions and the Platte River has risen higher than for twenty years. and now covers a stretch of country two miles wide. The tracks of the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific Road are washed out for half a mile, and trainh will be unable to pass for several days. All trains on the road will be run by another line until the washout can be repaired.
 Tonight the tracks of the Missouri Pa- cific Road began to wash out slowly. and at Is feared they will be in bad con- dition by tomorrow. No trains can run over the threatened portion of the track tonight The Missouri Pacific bridge across the Platte River has been con- siderably damaged, but Is still in condi- tion for use. The wagon bridge will prob- ably have to be abandoned for several days. East and west of the city the Bur- lington tracks are washed out in small patches, and it is feared will be impassa- bIe before the night is over. Twenty families living in the lowlands have been compelled to abandon their homes.
