PLANS OF INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION

The members of the Interstate Com
merce Commission will leave for New
York tomorrow. On Monday, in that
city. the hearing of w. R. Hearsts
charges against the coal carrying roads
will be resumed.
The case against those railroad presi-
dents who refused TO answer questions
or submit documents will come up be-
fore Judge Lacombe In New York on
Wednesday. 1t is not known when his
decision will be rendered.
In the meantime the commission Will
take such testimony as has no bearing on
the controversy which Judge Lacombe
is to settle. There is enough of this to
keep the commission engaged all week.
The week after that will be devoted
to hearings in Chicago, the next week to
hearings in St. Louis. This will about
conclude the work for the term, and the
Hearst case Will therefore not be con-
Guided before the summer vacation. 1t
is the intention to resume 1t in the fall.

Veterans, the Sons of Confederate Vet

usual in that IL is the first Confederate
ceremonies of the kind that have been

THE spectacular element will be alb

We consider anything Of that nature
out of place in the beautiful cemetery
and in view of the fact that this is the
first time that a service of this kind has
been held in Arlington. A bugler-prob-
ably from Fort Myer-will sound a call
at the beginning. the Rev. Randolph Nc

IMPORTANT RULING
ON CUSTOMS SCHEDULE
Photographers Imported for Libraries
Subject to Import Duty.

Assistant Secretary Of the Treasury
Armstrong has ruled that photographers
in portfolios which are imported for
public Libraries are subject TO the pay
ment of % per centum ad valorem. Books
imported for public libraries are entitled
to free entry, and the library board at
Cincinnati sought to bring in part Of
a book" entitled Die Architektur des
Jahrhunderts" under the same con-
ditions. The goods in question were
loose sheets of photographers with
printed descriptions of each and the en-
tire number of sheets inclosed in paper
portfolio entitled THE Architecture of
the Twentieth Century"
The customs division of the Treasury
Investigated the Importation and de-
cided that the photographers Were not
intended to be bound in book form. The
ruling will establish the precedent in
this character of importations so far as
the payment OF duty is concerned

Straight Party Man.

There is food for Democratic thought
in the suggestion which the Georgia Con-
gresham makes. There is no good rea-
son why the Hon. George B. Mcclellan
should not be regarded as favorably as
any in the list OF dozen or more Demo-
Gratis who have been mentioned. He is
a good, straight-out Democrat, has a
clean record which could not be success
fully assaiIed, is conservative, has a firm
grasp upon public questions, is young,
aggressive. and progressive. and a fit
man to be pitted against President
Roosevelt.
Both factions of the party in New
York and in the nation ought to be able
TO get together and unite upon him, AMI
if any Democrat is able to carry the En-
pire State against the President. the
Hon George B. Mcclellan would seem
to be that man. He already has some
national reputation, won by his own ef-
forts, and not based upon the fact that
| he is his fathers son. Mcclellan is en-
titled TO a Presidential boom, and If he
! is elected mayor of Greater New York
he viii probably get it, If he should
have the good fortune to win the Presi-
Dental nomination, let it be noted right
here that the Hon. William Charlie:
! Adamson of Georgia is the original Nc
Clellan man.

GODDESS OF LIBERTY
To HAVE A NEW GOWN
Statue on Capitol Dome Will Get Coat
of Bronze Paint.

The painters at work on the huge dome
OF the Capitol tor the past several weeks
began this morning TO erect a scaffold
around the Goddess Of Liberty on the
top of the dome, for the purpose Of re-
moving a coat or two of the verdigris
from the statue and putting on one or
two coats Of acid-proof enamel.
Charles Macnichol, to whom was
awarded the contract for the painting,
dess. who has withstood the broiling
hot sun and the chilly wintry blasts all
these years without having new coat
of anything. Mr.. Macnichol says it will
take bis workneu an entire week to re-
move the verdigris from the bronze, and
seven days additional to put on two
coats of enamel
Not since the statue was placed IN
position has 1t ever been touched, and
this is the first time a scaffold of any
sort has been erected around it. The
men will have completed the structure
by this afternoon, and will begin work
or the statue Monday morning.

The Field of Politics
Looks to Mcclellan.

Up from the cotton fields of Georgia
comes the Hon William Charles Adam
son. who ably represents the fourth dis
trict of the Watermelon State in the
House. bringing with him suggestion
which may aid his party in solving its
perplexing hidden-man puzzle, entitled.
Find the Available Candidate" Mr..
Adamson's favorite is the Hon. George
B. Mcclellan. of New York, and his
method of determining that Mr.. Nc
Clellan is the right man for the Demo-
Gratis to name as their Presidential can
didate involves the successful mayor
idea which is seemingly so popular with
the Democrats. and which has enabled
Mayors Harrison, Johnson, Head, and
half a dozen others to be mentioned as
possibilities"
First Mr. Adamson would have Little
Mac" chosen mayor of Greater New
York, and he believes that this will be
done at the election there this fall. A
big majority on the Tammany ticket
would at once. he thinks. bring Mr..
Mcclellan into prominence as an avail
able man. 1t would be a reasonable as
surance that he would be able to carry
New York State, and that is what the
Democrats must do If they are to win
next year.
Mr. Adamson insists that the Demo-
Gratis shall name man who has always
been Democrat, who has stuck to his
party and voted the ticket at all times.
and such a man he declares Mr.. McClel-
IT.

York State to determine the nominee,

A Courtly Divine.

Bauer was a wonderfully eloquent,
suave, and courtly divine. with the most
perfect manners. and impaired to his
ecclesiastical vestments a certain ele-
gance and grace which savored rather
of the world than of religion. his laces
in particular being theme of never
ending admiration on the part Of those
numerous court beauties who, following
the example of the Empress, had select
ed him as their spiritual adviser.
His influence over them and on the
Empress was very great. and IS that
of Eugene in turn was predominant in
political affairs in France. he may be
said to have played very important
role. especially during the last Ten years
OF the empire.
Four years ago this ex-bishop. who
was a brother of the late Ignatics
Bauer, the weil-known Hebrew banker
at Madrid. and representative of the
Rothschilds there. married an ex-balle-

Der of years, and who now inherits the
large fortune which he acquired on the
stock exchange.

Bryan Not a Bolter.

At this late day the Memphis Com
n,ercial Appeal" makes the charge that
the Hon William Jennings Bryan did
Ect support the Democratic ticket in
1852. but that instead he voted and
worked for Weaver, the Populist candi-
date for President. This is the rankest
sort of injustice, for whatever criticism
ard denunciation Mr.. Brya- deserves for
his political fallacies and public acts.
10 insinuate that he is not a Democrat
or that he was bolter because he sup
ICrted Weaver in the last Cleveland
campaign is base libel.
Everyone who knows anything of the
contest of that year knows that the
Democratic national committee advised
and recommended Democrats in Ne
lEaska to work and vote for Weaver.
In doing so, Mr.. Bryan was aiding in
the election OF Mr.. Cleveland. 1t was
apparent TO all that the Democrats had
NOT the slightest chance of carrying Ne
bIaska. but that by joining with the
Pops the State might be thrown into
the Weaver column. That although not
giving it to Cleveland. was taking 1t
away from Harrison; it was gaining half
a point, and in fact more.
There were three candidates in the
field, and with the certain knowledge
that Weaver would carry a number Of
Western States-he did. in fact, receive
twenty-five electoral votes-there was a
possibility that the election might lie
thrown into the House of Representa-
tives. In that event Mr.. Cleveland
would have been chosen President. for
that body was strongly Democratic

van Westrum for the sake of exploit
ing certain patents in connection with
the oil industry, the name of the con-
Germ being given as the German Oil
Works Company" and the capital at
100000 marks.
Prince Hugo appears as one of the two
partners In this concern in the Berlin
Trades Directory" for the current year
just issued, and it is the first time that
a parsonage of his rank has ever ap-
peared in the Berlin Trades Directory
as the partner of a concern of this kind.
True, Prince Leopold Isenburg became
the clerk in a Berlin bank some years
ago. But before doing so he renowned
the chieftainship of his family and his
rank as the member of a mediatized
house in favor of his younger brother.
Retains His Dignities.
So that this is not quite the same
thing. For Prince Hugo Hohenlohe re-
tains all his honors and dignities. and
has made no remuneration of any kind.
He is capable man, who, dissatisfied
with his career as provincial magis-
trate, which might in course of time
have led him to the governorship Of the
province, resigned his post and entered
the so-called "Deutsche Bank" at Berlin
as an unpaid clerk for the sake OF learn
ing the business. 1t was after that he
came to America. He is member of the
Union Club of Berlin, of which his elder
brother, the Duke of Ujest, is president.
and is cousin both of the German En-
peror and of King Edward. being in fact
related to half the reigning houses OF
| Europe. He expects to return to this
country very shortly in connection with
his new business.
The Hohenlohe family is extremely
wealthy, and the extent of the landed
possessions of the princes elder brother
may be gathered from the fact that he
| is at the present moment advertising
for 1000 lumbermen for the purpose OF
setting TO rights the damage done In
some of his immense forests by the Sc
we're storms of last winter. Prince Hugo
Is unmarried, and it may be recalled
that while here last year his name was
most unjustly dragged into a scandal in
connection with one of those shady bro
kerage concerns which undertake TO ne
gotlate matrimonial alliances between
| American heiresses and titled Europeans
| The prince never had any dealings with
| these people. and the association of his
name with their transactions as that OF
client was wholly without warrant.
