he with the Party at Request
of Won HOlIeben.

If the citizens of Indianapolis fit to
tender Prince Henry Of Germany lunch
con when he comes to this city, it is stat
ed, he may find time to accept the invita-
lion. 1t has been represented to DR.. Won
Holleben, the German ambassador, that a
stopover of only half hour in indianapolis
and Cincinnati would mean little more
than merely passing through the cities,
and that such arrangement would be
not at all satisfactory.
The schedule of time for the princes
special train has not been fixed, but Am
bassador Won Holleben may have it so ar
ranged that Prince Henry would have plen-
ty of time not only to take luncheon here,
but to drive through the streets, visit the
Statehouse and other places of interest.
1t is suggested also that a reception be
held for the prince The Commercial Club
may take the matter up at once, it is stat
ed, and, after ascertaning the length Of
time the prince will stop here, arrange
for an elaborate entertainment.
Fighting Bob" Evans will accompany
the prince and will be here with him. Won
Holleben requested of the President that
Admiral Evans be detailed TO accompany
the royal party. The secretary of the navy
has made the necessary order.

POSTAL CLERKS PAY.
Movement Under Way for Some Very
Just Increases.
Buffalo Express.

Buffalo Express.
Buffalo postoffice employees are working
for the passage Of a bill, now before Con-
gress, which provides for a general in
crease in the pay of all clerks i'm first-class
free delivery offices. OF such clerks, those
who on July l, 1901. are in receipt of less
than $1,000 a year shall receive an increase
of 800 annually until their pay is ST. 200
Clerks receiving a salary of 81 200 on July 1
shall receive an increase of 800 a year until
their pay amounts to 81 400. Clerks of sec
Ond-claSs offices also are to be affected
similarly excepting that no clerks are to
be appointed to first-class offices at a less
salary than $500 year while the minimum
for secOnd-class offices is to be $500. The
maximum in second-class offices is to be
81 600. Naturally, the Buffalo men in
terested particularly in the aforementioned
features of the bill.
The efficiency of the Postoffice Depart
ment is conceded. The work of this de-
partment, so far as the local general public
Is concerned, is done by clerks and carriers
The public knows the carriers; ii does not
know the clerks. Among the employees it
is said the carriers the better off, as
those of the clerks depend on the success
of the postmaster general in securing APP
preparations for the department. 1t is this
feature of their employment that the clerks
aim now TO have improved.
A clerkship in the postal service can be
won only by well educated man and held
only by one who is not only competent. but
courteous and active as well. Ii would
seem that the clerks are justified in their
efforts 10 have their pay placed on a fixed
schedule of increases until the moderate
maximum they mention is reached.

Violence Feared at Brazil.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, Jan. A-To-day the Terre
Haute & Brazil Traction Company
announced that it had men enough
to run all its cars and that to-
morrow morning at the latest all
cars on this end of the line would be put
in operation. The local authorities were
asked to guard against attempt at vio-
lence. The strikers here say they do not
expect any violence, but they insist that
no one will ride the cars and that the
company will not long try to run It's cars
without patrons. Despite these expressions
of belief on the part of the strike leaders
there is a well-defined feeling that any
cars that may be run will be attacked
either by the hot-heads among the strikers
or by their sympathizers, or by both.
Finding their efforts to bring about a
compromise unavailing, the local mer-
chants and leading citizens are trying to
induce the Vandalia TO put on train be-
tween here and Terre Haute, to carry the
interurban traffic the same rate charged
by the traction company but as yet with
