the end of the train house. Immediately red fire burst fortl on the tops of hum dreds of buildings, searchlights pointed out the American and German flags sus- pended from kites in midair, and five minutes later, amidst grand pyrotechnic display, the train bearing the royal visit or drew into the crowded trainshed. The Fifty-fourth Regiment Band played Die Yacht am Rhein" and a salute of 21 guns was fired, but the balance of the programme was not carried out as had been planned. The First and Eighth Separate Companies and the Second Ma val Reserves had been stationed at both ends of the trainshed to hdd the crowds in check, but as the last car of the princes train reached the roped-off area the surging, cheering throng outside brushed the militiamen aside and 30 sec onds later had packed to almost suffoca- ton every inch of space in the train house and depot. Fully dozen women fainted in the crush, and 1t was with great difficulty that they were taken out. For tunately none was, seriously injured. In the meantime the assemblage was cheer ing and shouting as If mad After several fruitless efforts had been made to check the enthusiasm, the reception commit ee gave up that portion of the programme which called for singing by the German societies, music by the bands, etc., and boarded the prince's car, where they were introduced to Prince Henry by the German ambassador. Won Holleben, and Mayor Redenbeck welcomed the prince.
 Hon. Henry c. Brewster, president or the Chamber of Commerce, presented the prince with a handsomely-embos and inscribed album containing "A beautiful views of the city.

LINE OF DEFENSE
 IN PATRICK CASE
Testimony for the Prisoner Will
 Be Heard Today
WILL PROVE HIM INNOCENT
Attorneys Promise to Show That Rice Died From Natural Causes and Will Produce Physicians
 Who Will Swear 1t.

New York, March 5. - The testimony against the charge that Albert T. Pat rick killed Millionaire William M. Rice will be begun when court opens tomor- row, the prosecution having closed its case today. An outline of what Lawyer Patrick's attorneys purpose doing fol- lows though it is not probable they have made public all their intentions:
 The number of witnesses they expect to call is about 30.
 Attorney House will first formally move that the indictment be dismissed. Should the motion be denied he will proceed with the formal opening address for the de- fense, declaring that Patrick was Rice's friend not his murderer. It is promised that several eminent doctors will testify that William M. Rice died from natural causes; that he was dead before Jones lat the chloroform- soaked sponge In a cdne over his face. They will declare that if fatal dose of chloroform pro- duced the congestion found in Rice's lungs, it would have caused equal con gestion in his brain, liver and kidneys and throughout the nervous system. In Rice's case the lungs alone were congest- ed. They will declare that sudden in- halation of chloroform such as Jones says he caused Rice to take must have awakened him, no matter how soundly he slept.
 The defense also promises to produce witnesses who heard Rice say he was tired of Texas and Texas people, and wanted nothing more to do with them; that Houston people were always raising his taxes; that the people of Texas would get very little from him for the w. M. Rice Institute, and that he was going to make a new will in accordance with this feeling The defense promises further that 1t will produce a witness who saw W. M Rice sign the Swenson and Fifth Avenue Trust Company checks and send them to Patrick. Dr. Walker Curry, who attended Patrick, will swear that he died of natural cause, and several morgue at tendants are to say that Drs. Donlin and Williams, who made the autopsy, did not know that Rice died of anything but old age.

OFFERS TO BUY TRANSPORTS.
Hi,i's Latest Proposition to the War
Department

Washington, Dec 1.-THE purchase
.,f army transports and their incorpo-
ration of a fleet Of transpacific steam
ers is the latest plan of James J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern rail
road, in his effort to get for the Boston
Steamship company of Seattle, Wash,
the contracts for army transportation
If the transport system is abandoned
rs is now contemplated.
The Seattle line is the only one
which made bids advertised for by the
war department, and it's figures are
very low. The commercial lines at
San Francisco were caught mapping
and aided by the, Hartman transcon-
tinental railroad system, are now
strenuously beseeching the war de-
partment not to abandon the transport
system. One of the arguments made
for the continuance of the transport
system is that the war department has
on hand large number of transports
which it cannot sell advantageously.
Mr.. Hill seems intent on buying out
this argument, and it is understood,
proposes that the war department ap-
point an appraiser to act in conjunc-
tion with an appraiser appointed by
Mr.. Hill and that the Hill interests
will pay the appraised figure for two
or three transports.
The whole question will be taken up
and disposed of by Secretary Root this
week, y

zueian Trouble.
Washington, Dec. s12-Washingto
refuses to regard the situation in Ven
ezuela as involving this government.
It is regarded as an act of war by
Great Britain and Germany to seize
the Venezuelan navy. It is also an act
of war for President Castro to place
German and British residents of Ven
ezuela under arrest without giving
them an opportunity to leave the
country.
The matter, SO far as this govern
ment is concerned, is entirely in the
hands of President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hay.
No official concern will be mani
tested, unless the Monroe doctrine is
directly infringed by an attempt of the
powers to hold Venezuelan territory or
customs for an indefinite period.
It is only by a deliberate violation
of the understanding between the ag-
gressive powers and the United States,
or some unexpected event, that we
may take hand in Venezuela.
The president was long ago made ac-
quainted with the purposes of Ger
many and England, and the limits of
their action was made plain. All the
military and naval plans of both pow
ers were laid before this government.

PHILIPPINE CURRENCY.
Senate Committee Hears Vice Gov.
ernor Wriqht

Sisloi wright,
Washington. Dec. 12.-The senate
committee on Philippines discussed
with Vice Governor Wright the mon
etary situation in the archipelago. 1t
was generally agreed that there would
be difficulties. in changing the cur
rency in the islands. The concesus
of opinion was expressed that the
unit OF value in the Philippines should
be a gold peso of 12 $40 grains OF
gold. which is one-half the value of
the United States gold dollar, and the
peso in silver should be made LEGAL
tender of equal value to the units.
Another feature upon which Governor
Wright and the members of the com-
mittee agreed was that United States
currency should not be made legal ten
der in the island, as the silver dollar
would then be worth twice as much as
the peso, containing more silver than
the dollar, which would encourage
counterfeiting of the United States
dollars

Washington Officials DISCUSS the De-
struction of the Venezuelan
Warships.
Vessels Were Useless Against For
eign Squadron and Might Have
Been Kept Intact.
Several Conferences on the Situation
are Held by Officials at Ma
tional Capital.

Washington, Dec 1.-THE cable
gram from Minister Bowen that Vene-
zuelan officials had released all the
British and German prisoners was well
come news, for the officials felt that
by releasing these civilians President
Castro had diminished greatly the
most dangerous factor in the problem.
Had he insisted on retaining them in
Jail the allies must have dispatched
force to the capital of Venezuela and
war outright would have ensued. AS
it is the officials here prefer to regard
the status as not one of war, provid-
ing the allies adhere to their original
programme Of peaceful blockade"
perhaps followed by the temporary
seizure of Venezuelan customhouses.
Details of the sinking of the Vene.
zuelan navy by the allied naval forces
are awaited with interest here and the
officials could not but express their
regret and surprise that it had been
found necessary to proceed to such
extremes.
Nothing has yet occurred to induce
the state department to change the
policy of non-interference which it
has adopted. The president is show
ing particular interest in the situation
and during the morning he called Sec
retary Hay away from his regular dip
lomatic reception to confer respecting
Venezuela. The chairman of the two
congressional committees, charged
with the care of foreign affairs, also
called at the state department during
the forenoon to talk over the Vene-
zuelan developments.
Senator Cullom, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, ex-
pressed regret that England and Ger
many had destroyed, by breaking up or
sinking, the vessels of the Venezuelan
war fleet. "They might better have
been kept for toy houses, as, against a
formidable squadron, they were fit for
little else,' he remarked. He believed
that, if it were considered necessary
to seize the vessels, they could have
been kept intact until after the pres
ent trouble had been settled and then
restored to Venezuela.
Senator Cullom expressed the opln-
ion that the United States would not
become seriously involved in the pres.
ent disturbance, as he is satisfied that
neither Great Britain nor Germany had
any intention of annexing Venezuelan
territory.
