and Foster and Representatives Jones and
Cushman of Washington urged the presi-
dent to have an appeal taken in the case
of the United States versus the Northern
Pacific Railroad company which was re-
Gently decided against the United States
by Judge Hanford. The case involves the
title to lands in Clark county, Washing
ton, which have been taken up by home
steaders. The attorney general recon-

ground that the law was against the
United States and that the case had been
practically decided in the Spaulding case.
The time for appeal expires in about seven
days. The president said he was not dis
posed to take issue with the conclusions of
the attorney general.

isthmian canal commission at Washington
favoring the acceptance of the offer of the
Panama Canal company to sell its prop

$40,000,000 caused some comment here.
The Saturday Review says:
The Americans can do one thing to
erfection-they can drive hard bargain.
The sufferer on this occasion is France,
which was completely hoodwinked by the
American bluff. The Panama directors
have agreed to sell their rights for $40,-
100000 and the United States will jump
at the proposal The Americans have
made very good bargain, better perhaps
than is seemly in international dealings"

Berlin, Jan. 27.-The Prince OF
Wales, who is to represent King Ed
ward at the celebration of the birth
of Emperor William, visited the Prus
sian princes, Count Won Buelow, the
imperial chancellor, the various am
bassadors and other distinguished per
sonages Sunday morning. Soon after
l o'clock Emperor William and the
prince drove in closed carriage to
the barracks of the First Royal ORA
goons, Queen Victoria's Own. The
triumphal archway of evergreens had
been erected in front of the porch of
the barracks and the regiment was
drawn up in parade order. The band
played the British anthem after the
regiment had marched past, the EN-
peror and Prince of Wales, who later
proceeded to the regimental mess
room, where luncheon was served.
The party included the British ambas
sador to Germany, Sir F. G. Lascelles,
and his staff, Prince Albrecht and
Wilhel Eitel-Frederich, and Prince
Henry of Prussia. The luncheon ter
minated at O'Clock, when Emperor
William returned to the castle and the
Prince of Wales took train for Pots
dam, there to visit the Duchess of
Albany and to lay wreath upon the
tomb of the late Empress Frederick.
In the evening Emperor William
and the empress gave dinner party
to Prince of Wales in the Elizabeth
hall of the castle, at which the Brit
ish minister, Count Won Buelow, and
Count Won Waldersee were present.
The day passed without any disre
spect to the Prince of Wales. German
crowds have a too deeply abiding re
spect for royal personages and are
too thoroughly policed to ever jeeI
them. But in a city where the lifting
of ones hat is as universal as ordin
airy civility, it was singular to see the
passing crowd with never a hat raised
and to hear no murmurs of applause.
The last experience abroad of the
Prince of Wales was his departure
amid laundering cheers from the
shores of New Foundland, while the
streets through which the prince was
obliged to be driven on his way to
visit the British ambassadors were
without one single British flag.
While receiving the most elaborate
attentions from the family of the EN-
peror and from German officialdom
the Prince of Wales must feel the
chilling attitude of the German PEG
pie.
Almost all the newspapers refrain
from editorial comment on his visit.
