Dignifeu at Arlington.

At Arlington The prince was All dig

respect upon the graves Of he eoIn-

Al Fort Myer Fushimi was ir his ele-
ment On the parade ground there was
z review, followed by a drill OF he
cavalry and artillery ia the riding hall.
The prince was manifestly pleased. The
rough and fancy riding which followed
also brought forth applause from the
visitors, some OF whom had never seen
such daring fe1ts on horseback.
From beginning 10 end Prince Fushimi
seems 20 have enjoyed himself IN Wash

him with graceful recognition and ap-

Taste Of Hot Speed.

On the way from Alexandria To Ar

speed such as he probably has never had
before over country road. The big red
automobiles were PIT 10 the limit, and
for several miles hit up a gait OF thirty
miles an hour.

Then he stopped over and picked up an
acorn. The party followed suit and
soon the ground was completely divest-

The hero OF Nanshan certainly bore
his honors gracefully. Trim and wiry
in his pretty uniform ne looked al all

slightest suggestion OF "a wound or limp,

PRINCE FUSHIMI

Some Royal Franks During
His Visit Here.
GREATLY ENDEARED HIMSELF

Keenly Enjoyed by All Who
Witnessed It.
GREATLY ENDEARED HIMSELF

ably have been very few who have De7H
bent upon enjoying himself as Fililce
Fushimi, who left town yesterday Tor D.
Louis, where he will spend few days
at the exposition
Though never losing his dignity Prince
Fushimi Is ever ready 20 engage IN
joke. and if any of those with nm
should engage in a laugh over something
which he does not understand, he I'M
mediateIy gets an explanation from the
interpreter. His wit is keen, and he
can get the point and appreciate joke
as quickly as a born Yankee
His curiosity, and that OF all his suite,
is monumental. Ever since they came
TO Washington their questions have been
almost incessant, but ever comprehen-
sive and sensible.
Prince Fushimi in his trip 70 Mount

Joyed the trip like a schoolboy. and 1t
was fun of amusing Incidents
The Mule Incident
'.The incident of the mule has gone
into history with the various members
of the party After having passed
through the mansion at Mount Vernon
the prince and party passed a pasture.
Within a lone mule stood disconsolately
rubbing his fuzzy back against tree.
Whether it was that there are no mules
IN Japan or whether the mule reminded
the prince of another such beast across
the Pacific is not known, but the prince
quickly advanced 10 the hedge inclos-
ing the mule and picking a sprig OF
green. tried his best 10 attract the
animals attention. Ii was in vain. The
mule did not know how il was being
honored. He did not know that he was

The prince. with the entire party OF
officers Of the legation. his own suite
Rear Admiral IIigginsOn, and officers
from the navy yard standing behind
him, made frantic endeavors 10 secure
something OF a recognition, but the mule
must have been a Russian, for he dld
not pay the slightest attention TO the
straight little man with the white
breeches and blue coat with a huge
sword dangling at his side. Some one
OF the visitors inquired wonderingly II

FATHER WAS VIOLENT
Young Weber's Testimony al
the inquest Over Victims
of Auburn Tragedy.

Auburn, Cal, Nov. 12.-Nothing new
Of importance has thus far been de-
veloped by the cOroner's investigation
of the Weber tragedy. Adolph Weber
the surviving member of the family
testified that his father got very an
CRY when crossed. and had often said
serious things, nut had never acted
and was over his anger in a few min
utes. There had been no quarrel on
the day or evening of the murders
When in San Francisco this summer
his mother and father had dispute,
in which the mother asked for a di-
vision of the property Nothing was
said further and the matter was
dropped. To offset the murder and sui
eide theory. the bullet wound in Mr.
Weber's body took a downward course
which would indicate that it was not
fired by himself
The .32-caiibre pistol with which the
victims were killed has not yet beer
found.
Other witnesses testified that the ell
der Weber had violent temper. Mrs
Potter. a neighbor. testified that she
saw two women in the window up
stairs i'm the room above the kitchen
in the Weber house. and heard them
scream: Save me- For Gods sake
save me.' Her father-in-law says he
heards the same words This was aft

RIOTOUS STUDENTS.
Germans Were the Aggressors in the
Latest Innsbruck Trouble.

Vienna, Nov. 12-Many> heads were
broken in a fierce conflict between
German and Italian students at the
university today. the fight arising from
the recent troubles at Innsbruck. The
Germans took the aggressive. They
started singing the "Wacht Am
Rhein" with uncovered heads and de-
manded that all the other students re-
move their hats. The Italians. Slavs
and other non-Germans refused TO do
so, whereupon the Teutons foncibIy
knocked off their opponents headgear
and trampled their hats and caps in
the dust. The Italians then started a
counter demonstration on the univer-
sity steps and sang the national hymn
of Italy. The Germans then attacked
the Italians and drove them from their
position. Sticks and umbrellas were
freely used and many heads were
cracked but no arrests were made. as
the fighting was confined TO the uni
versity precincts.
