eral Wood were presented 20 Emperor
William today at the Siarkendorf pa
raGe field, near Frankfort-On-The-
Oder after the parade was finished,
General Corbin was presented first. The
emperor welcomed him most cordially.
Among his majesty's first words were
hearty thanks for the attention shown
to Prince Henry during the latter's visit
to the United States. After further con-
versation Emperor William presented
General Corbin to the empress While
General Corbin was conversing with
her majesty the other American gener-
ais were presented to the emperor.
The whole scene was impressive. EN-
peror William was mounted on an iron
grey horse, which many Americans who
have visited the parades on the Tempel-
hof field here have admired for its stat
uesque poses as the troops filed past his
majesty and the American generals
were mounted on fine bays from the en-
peror's stable. While the introductions
were taking place the German officers
assembled in the vicinity to hear the
emperor criticise the performance of
their respective troops during the pa
rade.
Additional splendor was added TO the
scene by the presence of Lord Roberts,
Mr.. Brodrick, the British secretary of
stase for war and a party in brilliant
RSish uniforms, who had heen pre-
sented before the American generals.
Emperor William invited all the Ameri-
can generals with their aides and Lieu
tenant Colonel John B. Kerr, the United
States military attache at Berlin, to
dine with him at the new palace, on
Monday night.
On the special train going TO Frank
ort-On-The-Order was Prince Henry
who came up especially from Hamburg
for the parade, arriving in Berlin at 8
o'clock in the morning. In the royal
waiting room at the Friederichs Trass
station the American party We're pre-
sented to him. Prince Henry conversed
with the Americans all the way to
Frankfort-On -On-The-Oder, speaking en-
Enthusiastically Of his American trip and
the friends he had made in the United
States. He expressed his purpose to
visit the United States again after his
naval service is completed, but more
privately than on the occasion of his
first visit, so as to have a better oppor-
tunity to study the country and its peo-
pie.

EXPORT OF PIG IRON.
Economist Declares That Move
ments of Iron Are Remarkable.

London, September Accommodating
on the exports Of pig iron to America,
the Economist declares that the move
ments of iron are the most remarkabl
in the history of the trade, and says:
There is a hunger for material
amounting to a famine, Notwithstanding
that the industrial depression on the
continent has abated the activity in
this country. Every liner from the
Clyde and the Mersey is taking as
much pig iron to the United States as
they care to carry. Steamer after steam
er is being chartered to take fun cargoes
from the Tees, Clyde and West coast
ports, to Baltimore Philadelphia and
other points. The latest movement for
tonnage to convey pig iron from our
shores to New Orleans, Pensacola and
other gulf ports, is perhaps the most
striking of all. One notable feature is
the large quantity of steel making iron
unwrought steel and finished steel
which America is now drawing from
this country and Germany"

BOARD OF CHARITIES.
Superintendent Took Exception
 Criticism of Board.

The board of charities met last night, Mayor Kilduff presiding and all the members being present except MT Brewer. It was a lively session, but by the time vote to adjourn was of fered things had moderated considera- bly, and everything was moving like clock work.
 The little breeze was started by a few remarks made in a Sunday paper by T. F. Lawlor of the board of health, in which Superintendent Doran and City Physician Dr Hayes were made 1 to appear as endeavoring to shrink from performing their duty during the present crisis. The mayor reminded Mir Doran that it was T. F. Lawlor, and not the board of health. who was quoted in the paper, and added that the health board had in no way criti- cised the board of charities or the su- perintendent of poor. Mir Filling thought that the superintendent was making a great deal out of a small matter and considered that it would be time enough for him to seek vindication when the board of charities or any of 1 its members should find fault with him. Mir Doran finally rendered his resignation to the board with q request that it be accepted. This brought the board to time and the next move was the passage of resolution indorsing what had been done by the. superIn- tendent of poor and the city physician. By request Mir Doran then withdrew l his resignation.
 l The offers of Dr Maloney and Dr McLinden to vaccinate children of the poor were read and accepted. with thanks and vote passed to the effect that the services of other physicians to help out would be very acceptable.
 The matter of the disposition of the Peter Byrnes property on River street was referred to the city attorney. Some time ago Mir Byrnes and his wife deeded their property to the town on condition that it care for both of them and that they should occupy it as long as they lived. Mir. Byrnes is dead and his widow is gone to live with relatives in Massachusetts. l The question of vaccination came up and while nothing definite was done in the premises it was the opinion of Messrs Moore. Finn. Disley and others that the board of health should see that all who have not the means to pay for vaccination are inoculated without charge.
 The board then adjourned.

COLD FOLLOWS STORM.
Thirty Below Zero In the Northwest Business Being Slowly Resumed.

Thirty BelOw Zero 1n the Northwest.
 Business Being Slowly Resumed.
 ST. PAUL, March 1S.-Specials indi- cate that the big storm is over. Grand Forks, N. D., reports pleasant but cold weather, with big snowdrifts and gen. eral suspension of all work except the shoyeling of snow.
 At Bismarck N. D., the thermometer registered 12 below zero yesterday morning. The cold was felt more in- tensely on account of the terrific wind accompanying it. After sixty hours of the fiercest blizzard known in this sec ton for twenty years the storm has abated, and efforts are being made to resume business in this section. Snow blows are clearing the tracks from Jamestown west, and no trains have moved yet.
 What damage was done in the stock district cannot be told until communi- cation with the country districts shall be established, but it is feared there will be heavy losses.
 No Pacific coast trains have arrived at St. Paul since last Friday. The Northern Pacific and Great Northern have experienced the longest blockade on through traffic for more than fifteen years.
 Prince Albert, with more than 30 de- grees below zero, was the center of cold in the northwest.
 The Burlington is the only road oper- ating train service into Montana from the east. No mails have been received at Helena via the Northern Pacific since Saturday. The wire systems of these roads are also badly crippled. The blizzard was general throughout northern and eastern Montana.
 At Dickinson, s. D., the stock ship ping center, conservative estimates place the losses at 9 to 30 per cent, q little more on sheep than on cattle

It is well known that MT. Evans has the entire confidence of the president, and the latter will not con sider the question of his retirement un- til a position entirely satisfactory to the commissioner has been provided. No decision has yet been reached con cerning a successor to MT. Evans, nor will any action be taken until the pres ident is thoroughly convinced that he has found man of the same high character and sterling worth possessed by the present commissioner in so high a degree.

ABOUT PRINCES VISIT.
German Paper Says Henry Bluffed
 His Friends And Hosts.


 New York, Mar. 18-In spite of the official frown which general comment upon the voyage of Prince Henry brings down on any paper there ap- pears, says the Berlin correspondent of the Herald, to be q growing tendency to refer to it and to ask what practical result it has accomplished.
 The hip-hip- p-hoorahing has been done and the handshaking is over. The practical German is asking, ''Well, what are we going to get out of it?"
 Agrarians storm away the harder. They say, Germany has done enough for America; now it is the turn of America to do something for Ger many"
 The sober Taglische Runschaul breaks ground and writes about Ameri- cans thinking the prince was, to use the Yankees favorite term, a demo cratic prince" To this the paper re- plies: .'The American, it is we'll known, brides himself in very re- markable degree on the fact that he does not allow himself to be bluffed by any one or at any time. As a member or q poker nation, he bluffs naturally. But to-day it is an open secret that Prince Henry b1uffed his friends and hosts in quite an eXtraor- dinary way"
