Suspicious Character Arrested al
Princes Train.

Princes Train.
New York, Feb. PA man who pre-
tended to be a mail clerk was arrested
and hustled, struggling, through the
crowd at the Jersey City terminal ear
ly today just as Prince Henry boarded
his special train for Washington
The prince had stopped for a mo-
ment at the rear end of his car and
was chatting with a few gentlemen.
He quickly stepped beyond the car that
he might more readily observe what
was going on. He saw a policeman
struggling with a man in plain clothes,
who was vigorously protesting against
arrest. The policeman forced the man
toward the ropes, dragged him into the
crowd and hurried him along the sta
ton to the street. 1t was learned that
the policeman had been watching the
man, who persisted in remaining in the
neighbOrhOod of the princes car, and
becoming suspicious he had decided to
take him into custody. The officer said
his prisoner had attempted to enter
the princes car.
Outside the station the man said his
name was LemueI Kramer and dis
played a shield which, he said, identi-
fled him as a mail clerk connected
with the railway postal service. In
the mail room at the depot the man
was not identified. His case will be
submitted to a postoff1ce inspector.

IRON AND STEEL TRADE.
Market Conditions For the Past Week
Show Activity.

Show Activity.
Cleveland, Feb. 27.-The Iron Trade
Review referring to market conditions
this week says:
The heavy import movement in
steel and a further burst of activity in
foundry iron are the features of the
iron market for the week. The buying
of steel in Germany and England now
promises to grow to very considerable
proportions in spite of recent ad-
Vances abroad.
The Independent manufacturers at
their meeting in Pittsburg last week
decided to send a commissioner to
England and Germany to buy sheet
bars and he is now on the way. The
amount of the contracts as talked Of
will be about 10000 tons, but it is be-
lieved a larger tonnage will be needed,
deliveries extending over the next six
months. German steel has advanced
81 to $5 since December, and German
billets are now quoted at $3.50, Pitts
burg, while $34 is asked for sheet bars.
1t is believed from 10000 to 200 900
tons of foreign steel will be needed
this year to supplement the domes-
tic output. In the foundry iron mar
ket the business closed has been very
heavy. This has been almost entirely
for delivery in the second half of the
year. A variation of fully 81 a ton
appears in current transactions.

PAYS FORTUNE IN DUTIES.
Mrs. Huntington Gives Port of New
York $4,000.

STN 20 yoOOS
New York. Feb. 27.-Mrs Arabella
D. Huntington, widow of Coils P
Huntington, has paid $31 800 in cash
as customs duty Officials who fre-
Quently have to haggle with women
over the tribute to Uncle Sam declared
that she was a paragon of travellers.
Mrs. Huntington, who returned from
a trip to Europe on the Oceanic, with
her son, Archer Huntington, and Mrs
Archer Huntington, staggered the
young man, who as acting deputy col
lector, asked her to make a declara-
ton of her purchases abroad.
1t was on board the steamer coming
up the bay. Young Huntington had
the list carefully prepared The sum
total of his mothers purchases abroad
was $4,000, the largest amount ever
declared by traveller in the port of
New York and probably in the world
The duty was also the largest ever
paid.
There was a score of large fiat
trunks containing rich gowns bought
in Paris, London and Berlin. Most of
the tax paid by Mrs. Huntington was
go per cent on made up gowns of linen,
silk and woolen. There was a large
amount Of jeWelry and precious stones
on which she paid SO per cent. On a
lot of perfumery so per cent ad valo-
rem was paid. Her rugs were taxed
at 10 cents per square foot arG 40 per
cent on their value. Bronze also paid
G5 per cent on their value.

GALVESTON SAVED THOUSANDS.
City Not Responsible for Private Prop
erty Seized.

CIIV SClZEus
San Antonio, Tex, Feb. 27.-By a
decision of the court of civil appeals
the city of Galveston is relieved of
responsibility for private property
seized for public purposes Immediate
ly after the great storm of Sept. 8.
1900.
This decision is of great Importance
to the city, as following the storm
property of considerable value was
pressed into service by the city au-
thorities and if the city were financial
ly responsible for the same an obliga-
ton would be created which would
cost the stricken city hundreds of
thousands of dollars.
In the case in point a pair of horses
belonging to A. A. Brown were seized
by the mayor and chief of police and
were driven until one died. Brown
sued for 5000, the alleged value. and
the lower court found for him. The
court OF appeals finds that the seizure
was without authority of the council.
and that the city is not liable.

Thousands Gather at Depot
In Welcome.

Prince Attended Mckinley Memorial
Exercises and Afterwards Made Fly

Washington, Feb. .27.-The second
chapter Of the capitals welcome to
Prince Henry of Prussia began today.
Arriving at o'clock this morning his
suite at noon attended the Mckinley
memorial services at the capital and
at their conclusion made a flying trip
to pay tribute to the memory of the
father of his country at Mt. Vernon.
He will be the guest of President
Roosevelt at a dinner at the White
House tonight. The weather this fore
noon was delightful.
A crowd of several thousand people
had gathered at the depot, but there
was no cheering. At the German en-
bassy a large crowd also had gathered
At 9:15 o'clock the cavalry escort gal
loped up Massachusetts avenue and
swung into battalion front facing the
embassy.
Prince Henry drove in an open car
riage, nodding and smiling recOgni-
ton at the applause and returning
each military salute.

MEMORIAL SERVICES
FOR LATE M'KINLEY
Held in Great Hall of Repre-
resentatives at Capitol.
COL. HAY PRONOUNCED EULoeY
Services Were Held In the Presence of
President Roosevelt, Cabinet, Prince
Henry, Foreign Ambassadors and
Many Distinguished Personages.

Washington. Feb. 27-At noon to-
day in the great hall of representatives
in the presence of President Roose-
welt, Prince Henry of Prussia, brother
of the German emperor, the members
OF the cabinet, the justices of the SUI
preme court, commanding general and
officers of the army and navy who
have received the thanks of congress,
the ambassadors and other diplomatic
representatives of foreign countries,
the senators and representatives in
congress and a large number of distin-
guished guests, the Hon. John Hay,
McKinley's premier, pronounced a ell
lOgy on his dead chief. Four times
before national memorial services for
presidents who have died in office have
been held in this hall, two of them
like this, in commemoration of chief
magistrates who have fallen by the
hand of an assassin.
George Bancroft, the historian, pro
nOuneed the euAOgy on Lincoln and
Blaine was Garfield's orator BY
strange coincidence today was the
twentieth anniversary of that on
which Mr.. Blaine was in the same hall
and delivered his eulogy on Garfield,
and stranger still, the subject of to-
days memorial service was the chair
man of the committee who had charge
of the arrangements on that occasion.
Only one year ago, less five days, at
the head of an imposing civic and
military procession Mckinley passed
triumphantly along Pennsylvania ave
nue. for his second inaugural Six
months later the tragedy occurred at
Buffalo and another but different sort
of procession bore his body through
the streets to the rotunda of the capi-
tol, where the tributes of the nations
of the earth about his bier bespoke the
universal sorrow Today, once more
with uncovered head, the nation paid
it's last tribute of respect and publicly
expressed it's living grief.

President May Not Respond.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Although the
White House officials are non-commit
tai on the subject, there is reason to
believe that no response whatever is
likely to be made to the letter from
Lieutenant Governor Tillman, of
South Carolina, to the president re-
questing him to withdraw his accept
ance of the invitation to present a
sword to Major Jenkins at Charleston.
1t is believed that this incident will
result in President Roosevelt's not at
tending the Charleston exposition.

MORGAN COUNTY POLITICS.
Contest for Local Offices Will Be In.
terestinu.

bCt SliIISs
Madison, Ga, Feb. 27.-There will
be an interesting contest in this coun-
ty this year for the office of county
treasurer. The present treasurer, p.
S. Bunney, is being vigorously op-
posed by E. L. Walker. Both are quite
popular and the race promises to be
very close.
Guerry and Terrell men are lining
up in this county, and their battle in
Morgan will be hard fought. Neither
candidate has spoken here, and from
the present outlook it is impossible to
say who will carry the county. The
friends of each candidate are claim
ing it.
Hon. Emerson H. George, Morgan's
representative in the present house of
representatives, is candidate for re.
eelction. He has no opposition and is
not likely to have. His friends here
are enthusiastic over his race for the
speakership.
