PRINCE A CRIMINAL. AL.-Sensationa
charges against Prince Philip OF SAKE
Coburg- Gotha, who is an Austrian field
marshal and husband of the Princess
Louise of Belgium, were made yesterday
in the Austrian Reichsrath during the
debate on the army bill by Herr Das-
zynski, the Polish leader. The latter de-
nounced the Prince as a criminal. In
his speech he referred to the impris0n-
ment of the former lieutenant of hussars,
Mattasich, who eloped with the Princess
Louise of Coburg several years ago and
who was sentenced to four years i'm
prisonment last December for forgery.
Herr Daszynski asserted that while in
prison Mattasich drew up a formal ac
cusation, charging Prince Philip with
forcing the Princess Louise, who was
confined in an asylum for the insane
near Dresden SOME time after her elope-
ment, to encourage the advances of the
late Baron Hirsch and with compelling
her to ask the Baron for money.

MONSTER SHIP ARRIVES. new
White Star line steamer Cedric, the
largest ship ever built, arrived at New
York Yesterday on her maiden trip,
across the ocean. She comes from the
Belfast wards of Harland & Wolff, is
700 feet in length, 70 feet in breadth
and 40 l-9 feet in depth. Her gross
tonnage is OF 81, 600 tons and her dis
placement of 3S, 200 tons. She has two
sets of quadruple expansion engines
driving twin propellers. There are
eight double-end steel boilers capable OF
working to pressure of 2l0 pounds to
the square inch, and the vessel is de-
signed to attain a speed of about IL
knots at sea. She has nine decks, is
built on the cellular double-bottom
principle, and is so divided into numer-
Gus water-tight compartments, exceed
ing all official requirements, that a
maximum of security is obtained. Later
in the spring the Cedric will take her
place in the weekly Friday service from
Liverpool to New York, calling at
Queenstown, with the Celtic, Cymric
and the Arabic, the last named another
large flyer, now nearing completion at
Belfast. With the advent of the Cedric
the White Star line has the distinction
of possessing the two largest vessels in
the world and the further distinction of
owning IS vessels exceeding 10, 600 tons
measurement each, the average of the
10 reaching the huge figures of 1881
tons. This excludes the Teutonic and
Majestic, which closely approximate
10, 900 tons each, and the new steam
ship Arabic of 10, S65 tons. With the
Arabic there will be included in the
White Star feet of % vessels no less
than 23 modern twin-screw steamships,

CURRENCY DEMANDED TO
REMOVE FARM PRODUCTS
Provisions Of a Bin With This Purpose
Partly II View.

Representative Fowler. Chairman Of
the Committee on Banking and Cur
rency. late yesterday afternoon submit
ted 10 the House a report upon The bill
providing for an issue Of credit currency
by national banks 10 the extent OF .
per cent of their capital The measure
was drafted before the holiday recess a.
substitute for the Fowler currency
till. which involved several other hnan-
eiaI propositions, but upon which the
Republican leaders could not agree. TIE
report is veluminous. and deals largely
1ith the necessity Of providing for an
elastic currency. especially at that sea-
son Of the year. when the great crops Of
the country are moved.
Attention is called to the fact thar
practically all the farm products.
amounting to s.. GOO. 000000 ~ value. are
marketed between the months Of July
and January, and that BY reason OF this
fact IN acute monetary situation arises
iurire the months OF September and 0e-
tOber The report then cites the fact
that between July is and September Is
Of last year about 500 600 coo in cash
was drawn from the reserves Of tts
banks and sent 10 the country 10 enable
farmers 10 market their crops OF this
sum SIT. 0G0 .000 was in the form OF gold
coin OF cold certificates.
Continuing. the report says: One
may most naturally inquire whether our
more than SIS per capita. which is
considerable fncrease. over recent years.
is not quite adequate for our commercial
needs. Let it be remembered that from
this total amount Of 1881 ,ioS,55s the
following must be deducted: First. the
amount held in the Treasury. 1862 T07 .651,
and. second, the amount held by all the
banks. ss4S. los .695. This leaves only
81. Sea. 81. Z06 in the hands OF the people
or 1873 per capita, an amount not
greatly In excess Of that in their hands
in 1898. it being at that time s16.44 per
capita
In conclusion the committee submits
the following as self-evident truths.
'.First-That there IS an exigen5 de-
mand for some provision to relieve the
present situation II our unparalleled
prosperity IS not itself to prove the
source of a commercial crisis
-Secoud-That neither silver. nor gold.
nor United states bonds. much less any
other kind Of bonds. can be a pfopeT
source OF 2 safe. economical. and elastic
currency.
.4Third-That in the six billions or
fi0aidated assets of our national banks
there Is an incompatible security many
times over for the credit notes that our
trade demands; and that no currency
can be truly elastic that does NOT spring
into being at the bidding Of business.
