AT TOMB OF WASHINGTON
PRINCE HENRY PLACES TWO
 WREATHS ON THE GRAVE.
He Approached tho Sacred Spot With Barred Head-That There Might be Nothing Irreverent He Also Asked Dozen Persons to K efrain from PhOto- graphing Him.
graphing Him.

Washington, Feb. T.--Prince Henry
 of Prussia journeyed to Mount Vernon
 this afternoon and placed two wreaths
 on the tomb of Washington. He ap-
 preached the grave of the first presi-
 dent with wared head and that there might be nothing irreverent in the cere-
 mony, he asked dozen persons who stood around holding cameras, to re- frain from photographing him. The royal visitor and his party were taken to Mount Vernon by special train over the Washington, Arlington and Mount Vernon electric railway.
 Two large observation cars were pro vided and from them the prince saw the long bridge and the headlands of Northern Virginia, historic to Ameri- cans since colonial days. It was 2.30 o'clock when the special departed and the run to Mount Vernon occupied fif- ty-five minutes. Prince Henry walked to the Washington home and was driven from there down over the slope of the hill to the tomb. When the iron gate of the tomb was opened he re- moved his cap and entered. Two large wreaths made at Washington by his order, already had been sent to the tomb, and taking them up he formally set them in place. A group of more than hundred men that stood in the approch to the grave uncovered and that with their silence, added to the spirit of solemnity.
 Fifty feet down the sward that falls away from the tomb, Prince Henry planted a linden tree. The tree had been set in place prior to his arrival and taking a spade, the prince filled the earth in around it's roots. The prince was taken to the old Washington house by Superintendent H. H. Dodge, and there he met delegation of the Mount Vernon Ladies association headed by Mrs Justine Van Rensselaer, Townsend of New York. He spent few minutes in looking at the Washington relics and then departed for Washington. Large crowds watched his arrival and depart ure, and his course through historic old Alexandria was lined with people, who cheered him cordially. Many of the people of Alexandria mistook Lieuten- ant Commander Schmidt Von Schwind for the prince and their error led to an amusing incident. There is some gen. eral resemblance between the two and when the crowd singled out the young naval officer and cheered him, the prince was delighted. He called Chief Wilkie of the secret service and laughingly gave him this order:
 MT Wikie, please tell MT. Schmidt Won Schwind to be very careful what he does now, for he must remember that ] have reputation to sustain"
 The lieutenant commander was em- barrassed by the enthusiastic attention of the crowd and did not thoroughly 1 appreciate the humor of the prince. He | tried to be unconcerned over the crowd | and would neither bow nor salute in l answer to the cheers
 It was 430 o'clock when Washington l was reached on the return trip and the prince was driven at once to the Ger man embassy.

fl PERSONAL MATTER.
Lieut.. -Gov. TiiIman's Withdrawal of
 Invitation to Roosevelt.

Charleston, S. C., Feb. 2-It is stated
 here to-day that Lieutenant Governor Tillman's action last night in withdraw ing the invitation to President Roose- welt to present the sword to Major Jen-
 kins will have no effect on the exposi-
 tion programme for the presidents en-
 tertainment, even if it is allowed to
 stand. The presentation was to be an
 incidently only of the presidents visit
 to Charleston and in no way connected
 with the exposition programme. The sword was purchased with a fund rais- ed by subscription among the women of South Carolina and others, largely un- der Lieutenant Governor Tillman's stimulation. The arrangements for the presentation were left with him. It was not intended originally to have the president make the presentation but in view of his expected presence here at the exposition the opportunity was deemed fitting for such a feature. The invitation was extended by Lieutenant Governor Tillman, and place for the ceremony was made on the programme by the exposition committee at his re- quest. The whole matter is outside of the control of the exposition manage ment.

 Hospital in Parts.

Paris Feb 27.-A splendid gift has been made for the benefit of the Amer ican colony here and American visitors to Paris by Edward Tuck, wealthy Bostonian, who for many years past has resided in this city.
 MT. Tuck has decided to defray the entire expense of establishing the free American hospital in Paris, announce ment of which has already been made and the ground for which has already bene bought in the Passy quarter The hospital is to be named Franklin hos pital and besides being built on the latest American model it will be man. aged entirely by American physicians and nurses.
 MT. Tuck will not only defray the ex- pense of installing the institution, he will also donate sufficient fund to maintain it permanently without out side help.
 That the proposed hospital will fill deeply felt want here is shown by the fact that the services of several Amer iCan nurses who came here recently have been in constant demand
 Franklin hospital will be situated in one of the most healthful parts of Paris. IL will also be enclosed in eX- tensive grounds. Dr. Magnin, a well known American physician here, will be the director of the institution. The building will be commenced in a few weeks time and it is expected the hos pital will be opened in 1904.

BoERs' DEsPER4TE FIGHT.
Details of the Attempt to Rush British
 OutposG,

London, Feb. 27-The attack made by the Boers, numbering 500, and driving
 cattle before them, to rush the outpost line near Botha's Berg, Transvaal col- ony, during the night of February 23,
 was most determined They were led by two we'll known fighters, Ross Hands and Manic Botha. When the Boers realized that their attempt to actually break through the wire fences had been frustrated they crouched beside the dead cattle, with which the ground was thickly strewn, and from that defense poured a heavy fire on the British troops The fusillade was steadily re- turned and finally the Boers were driV~ en back after few of their number had got through, leaving fifteen dead and six wounded on the field. They also left 170 dead or wounded horses and the entire herd of 5000 head of cat tie.
 The British line at the point attacked was held by the columns commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Julian Byng and Major Michael F. Rimington The brunt of the fighting fell on force of New Zealanders, attached to one of the columns. The British lost two officers and eighteen men killed and had five officers and thirty-three men wounded.

sURPRIsE IN WASHINGTON.
Attitude of Spanish Government Re-
 garding Private oyynershfp.

Washington, Feb. 27-Surprise is ex- pressed here at the report that the ne- gotiations for the Spanish-American treaty are delayed owing to the Span
 1sh objections to the provisions rela-
 tive to the holding of lands by the
 citizens of one country in the other
 This point was discussed pretty thor oughly some months ago and MT Storer reported that it had been satisfactorily adjusted. The Spanish government
 wished it's citizens to have power to hold lands in the United States on terms of equality with American citi- zens; being willing, in return to allow similar privileges to Americans in Spain. The difficulty in the way con- sisted in certain United States statutes prohibiting or hitting alen ownership of lands, particularly In the territories and the District of Columbia This difficulty was finally removed it was supposed by the agreement of the Unit ed tSates government to give Spaniards the most favored nation treatment in this matter. This, according to the common construction of treaties would give them the same privileges as Amer ican citizens to hold lands and stocks. the force of law and under the supreme courts decision, If it conflicts with ex- isting law upon any such point as alien ownership of lands then it supersedes that law.

SATISFACTION IN GERMANY
AN ENTHUSIASTTC COMMENT ON
 PRINCE HENRY'S VISIT.
The Cologne Gazette Declares That American Open H earted Cordfality Will Leave a Most Agreeable and Per mnnent Impression-The Unanimous Participation of the American People in the Festivities.

I Berlin, Feb. 27.--"One of the most
 beautiful pages in our international re- l lations is the record of these festivi- ! ties" says the Cologne Gazette, refer
 ring to Prince Henry's visit to the Unit i ed States.
 President Roosevelt, the members of
 both houses of congress, Mayor Low of
 New York and representatives of the
 government, army and navy of the Jnited States have shown the brother
 of our emperor not only official honors,
 but have everywhere manifested such 1 open hearted cordiality that the im-
 pression in Germany is most agreed ble and permanent. Prince Henrys jour- ney west and south within undoubtedly
 take the same pleasant course.
 What deserves most to be emphasiz ed, however, is the unanimous partici
 patton of the American people in the festivities have given in excellent taste The inhabitants of the imperial city of New York and of Washington, the capital have shown, in their demon strations in honor of the German prince and German people that they feel them selves to be taking part with the pres dent and his national staff in the hos pitality which, however, in every re- spect is worthy great people.
 We hope that the wish of President Roosevelt to be guest some time, on a German battleship, will be fulfilled in the most pleasant way. If this visit could be made in German waters. the German people could take part in hon. bring that sympathetic personality rep resentng the great American nation. The presidents official duties prevent this, but even though years pass be fore President Roosevent, as a private citizen, can visit our country, the re- membrance of the splendid February days will continue to live within us and the German people will prepare a hearty welcome.
 May his countrymen, the American citizens, living among us carry home l the impression that the German people | are equally hospitable and appreciative l of international courtesies and honors." 1

 MT. Frye, the president pro tenn, said that by his direction last Monday the clerk did not call the names of the two senators from South Carolina, they be- ing in contempt of the body. On Tues day, he said he directed the clerk to re- store the names to the roll in the event cause he doubted the propriety of his action on Monday, but because very grave question was involved which he desired to submit to the senate itself.
 MT. Frye said that the senator from Washington (Mr. Turner) had appealed from the decisicn of the chair on Mon day, but that amid the cloud of points of order and objections he (Frye) had overlooked and forgotten the appeal and had proceeded with other business. For his forgetfulness he begged the par don of the senator from Washington. Had he done such thing wilfully, he said, he never could have forgiven him self.
 Mr Frye said that he had received a letter from the senior senator from South Carolina (Mr. Tillmam request ing that he be heard on question of highest privilege The chair could not entertain request under the circum- stances, without the unanimous con- sent of the senate, but at the proper o-morrow-such request might he entertained.
 MT. Turner called attention to the fact that he had asked that the pro- test of the senior senator from South Carolina be spread upon the minutes. He desired, he said, to insist upon this on Monday but he was cut off by points of order and by motion that the senate go into executive session. Since that time two adjournments of | the senate had interfered with the per 1 formance of his duty.
