Kaiser and Grand Duke Disagree

Berlin, Jan. THE Nieueste Nah.
richten today publishes comments on the
strained relations between the Kaiser
and the Grand Duke Frederick. The
latter, the paper says, asked The emperor
to appoint his son, Prince Frederick, as
commander of the Karlsruhe garrison.
The Kaiser refused, saying that the
Princes military qualifications were not
sufficient, and that such appointments
must always go by merit and not by
royal blood Later, the Kaiser only sent
aE aide to the funeral of Princess Leo
poldine, the aunt of the Grand Duke,
and later still, when the statue of Emper-
or Frederick was unvai'ed his Majesty
failed to invite the Grand Duchess to at
tenG. The latter was so indignant over
the slight, that she left Germany the
same day.

Probing TIE Steel Trust.

New York, Jan. 7.-Chas. NJ. Schwab,
former president of the steel trust, whose
relations with the defunct United States
Shipbuilding Company have brought
him into uncommon notice, was sub
mitted to a searching examination today
when he took the witness stand in the
proceedings to make permanent the re-
ceiver of the shipbuildng merger.
Every detail OF the exploitation of the
concern was probed into by Samuel Un-
terneyer, counsel for the bondholders,
and Mr.. Schwab was piled with count
less questions especially regarding the
sale of the Bethlehem Steel Company to
the shipyard trust. In answer to an
interrogation, witness said he has no re-
lations with the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany directly nor indirectly. He, how
ever, acknowledged that his relations
ceased after the investigation began.
The witness declined to answer most of
the material questions propounded. A
recess was subsequently declared.

POsTOFFICE INVESTIGATION.

Irregularities in the Postoffice Depart
ment constituted the only theme in the
Senate Yesterday. The question came up
on motion first made by Mr.. Lodge and
afterwards by Mr. Penrose to refer the
Carmack resolution looking TO aSenator-
ial investigation of the department to the
committee on postofices and postroads.
The democratic Senators resisted the
motion and contended that the country
would not be satisfied with an inyestiga-
ton of a department made by the de-
partment itself.
In the course of an argument for an
inquiry Mr.. Carmack charged that Post
master General Payne had been lukewarm
at the beginning of the department in
QUESTION, and Mr.. Spooner replied in
defense of that official. Mr.. Clay said
that the tenor of the Bristow report had
convinced him that Mr.. Bristow consider
ed former First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath more guilty than any one
else connected with the postOffice irregu
larities. Before the debate closed Mr..
German stated that he had conference
with Mr.. Penrose, chairman of the post
office committee, and was willing to have
The resolution referred. In his remarks the
Senator quotes section of the Presidents
comments on the Bristow report to show
that the investigation was actually de.
veloped by the initiative of newspapers
before Postmaster General Payne took
the action mentioned by Senator Allison.
"The inference" said Senator German,
(Which has been drawn by the news
papers and by many of us is no fault of
ours, and comes from the injustice done
the Postmaster General by the President
himself, if injustice has been done"
Senator German declared Senators of the
party in power had been endeavoring TO
throttle every attempt of the minority
to obtain information from various execu-
tive departments Of the Government rela-
tive to internal and foreign affairs, and
that every resolution of inquiry thus far
offered in the Senate in this respect had
been hindered. He sounded the demo-
cratic keynote when he inquired
"Can it be that the party in power is
afraid of having daylight turned upon its
acts. -

SITUATION IN FAR EAST.

A dispatch from Toxic says: "All
the Rcssion warships recently at Vlad-
livestock are reported to have sailed,
probably for Port Arthur. Russia =
reply has not yet been received by
Japan. There is strong, widespread
tendency to doubt the reports of the
alleged conciliatory character of the
reply"
The London Daily Mails correspon-
dent at st. Petersburg says that the
news is confirmed that the Second Rife
Regiment has already left Mukden for
Korea to protect Russian interests there.
1t is reported that Japan has learned
that the Russian squadron at Bizerta has
been instructed to shadow Japan's new
cruisers, and is in readiness to attack
them in the event of war being declared.
A Russian legation guard of 30 has
been landed at Chemulpo, but the Japan
csc Railway has refused to transport it
to Seoul 1t is reported preparations
have been made for the Emperor OF
Korea to find an asylum at the French
legation in the event of serious trouble.
1t is expected that France and Germany
will send marines there to guard their
legations.
1t is believed at Toxic that the Rus
sian response has been handed to the
government, but the secret of its de-
livery has been jealousy guarded and
the nature of the reply remains undis-
closed. Minister of Foreign Affairs
Komaru called yesterday afternoon upon
Baron de Rosen, the Russian minister
to Japan, with whom he. remained an
hour, and later he visited Premier
Katsura, when an extended conference
was held. There is every indication now
that further negotiations will take
place, although it is expected that
Span will refuse to transfer the dis
cussion of affairs to st. Petersburg if
this is proposed.
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived by the London Daily Telegraph
from Bennett Burleigh, its correspondent.
Toxic, Jan. GA telegram received
by the Jill from Seoul states that United
States Minister Allen has informed the
Korean Government that troops to pro-
tect the residents would come 10 the city.
The Koreans officially replied that in
any case ofemergency arising they would
try to secure safety of all foreigners;
that therefore the landing of the men
should be avoided. Despite this answer
SO American marines, with two officers,
have arrived at Seoul. British marines
now landing at Chemulpo, will follow.

in place as soon as possible, but it was

to sleep which she had not done for sew
eral days. The son was so much pleased

In REPLY to a published statement
that he favored the ratification of the
Panama canal treaty, Senator Martin
says
| have been awaiting the information
called for by resolutions of inquiry pend
ing in the Senate, and, in the meantime,
have authorized no statement OF what
nv position would be. The rights o.
fered this country by the treaty are Ger,
tainly very valuable, but they should
not be acquired by unworthy or dis
honorable methods, and desire the
fullest possible information before de-
iermiue what course should be taken IN
respect to the treaty in the Senate.
This is the correct attitude for the
Senator to take. This country is rich
enough and powerful enough to honestly
and honorably secure all the rights
necessary for the construction of the
canal, without lending itself to the
rascally methods of schemers and to the
dispoiling ola weak but friendly sister
republic of one of her States.

Mr.. OLNEY at the Mcclellan banquet

to Mr.. Cleveland as his ideal candidate
for the presidency. Mr.. Cleveland has
positively stated that he will not be
candidate again, for he knows full well
that he could neither be nominated nor

brusoue as he is, cannot be charged with
ingratitude, as but for Mr.. Cleveland
who discovered him he would never

THURSDAY EVENING, JAN. 7. 1904.

Mr.. BoURKE COCHRAN made some
remarks at the Mcclellan dinner in New
York on Monday night that deserve the
earnest attention of all persons who are
striving to secure purity in politics. he
said:
Republican protection has organized
our whole industrial system on the basis
of robbing some to benefit others q.
Men who themselves would be the first
to denounce larceny in an individual,
and even to prosecute the agent OF a
municipality who would accept a small
bribe, will not only view with approval
schemes devised at Washington for
plundering an entire people, but they
will elect the authors 10 high office, and
after establishing them in the Senate
encourage them 10 declare themselves
candidates for the presidency This
widespread corruption has proved the
source of disorders in every branch OF
government.
The protective system is the great
graft and with that established as the
highest achievement of human wisdom,
what, asks the Philadelphia Record, is
the use OF ighing against little gratis
1t was a republican Senator, Mr.. Hanna,
who described as drying the fat out OF
the manufacture" the extraction OF
campaign funds from them in considera'
ton of legislation to enrich them. The
most approved method of preparing
tariff bill now is to invite the various
classes of benefciaries to say how much
they will take out of the consumers.
The republican party gets its campaign
fund from men who contribute for the
sake of legislation that will make then
richer. In return for their contributions
they are allowed to write such portions
of the tariff as concern them.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT in the Gazette S
telegraphic columns of the death OF
Ruth, the twelve-year-Old daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Grover Cleveland, will be
rread with sincre regret over the entire
United States. The little girl who has
paid the debt of nature at the portals OF
her teens was the frst-born in the CleVe-
land home and the JOY and gladness Occa-
stoned by the advent of ''Baby Ruth"
are well-remembered The death of
the young is peculiarly distressing, as
those to whom they are near and dear
are painfully aware. The tooth Of Time
may blunt the keen edge of such afilic-
tions, but their recollections will never
be efaced in the family circle from
which the little one has been taken.

ficer Gourley, at the New York custom
house, that the duties on soft coal, which
were taken oil for 1903 by Congress,
would be imposed on and after the com-
ing January Is. The act o. Congress
was passed on account of the scarcity OF
coal caused by the anthracite strike.
While all soft coal imported will now
pay full duty again, anthracite coal, OF
any cumulative test, is permanently
duty free. Congress should now pass an
act taking off the duty on all coal and
also one which would prevent the coal
combinations from raising prices to al
ex rnitant extent, which they did durin
the str Ike aud which they have maL-
tanned ever since.

THE LEGISLATURE.
SENATE

The Senate passed a joint resolution
providing for a committee OF five from
each House, to be selec ted from the
great geographical divisions of the State,
to select site for the proposed addition
al normal school. The measure created
wide discussion, and great. deal was
said against junketing. Mr.. Barksdale
declared that the chair could appoint the
members and the committee would do the
rest. Notwithstanding the broad charges
that the scheme to run all over the State
on a plea of selecting a school site was
plan pure and simple for a junket, the
bill passed by a good vote.
A bill was introduced which provides
for the manner of the governor dssig-
mating a judge to hold term of a court
when the presiding judge may be unable
to request the designation of a judge.
The measure was given several readings
and was passed.
The conference report on the Edmond
son road bill was presented by Mr.. Hal
sey and adopted.
The bill exempting undertakers from
jury service was agreed to.
The bill affecting the salary of the
sheriff ofthe city of Richmond was passed.
A favorable report was made by the
courts of justice committee on the bill
creating bureau of insurance, which
was recently recommitted. The Senate
having declined to create the commission,
the recommittal was for the purpose
of retaining the statutes embodied in the
bill.
The Senate passed bill restoring TO
sherifls emoluments allowed them under
a law repealed two years ago. Here
after they are 10 receive 81 per day for
each days attendance to the sessions of
circuit courts, and allowances for dep
uties in the discretion of the court, not
to exceed 50 daily.
HOUSE.
The House OF Delegates was the scene
of some lively tits yesterday over the
bill to permit Norfolk county to acquire
the toll roads within its borders, and the
acrimony that always besprinkles dis
cussions over Norfolk county politics
was plentiful, and the speeches of Mr.
Whitehead, ofNorfolk, on the one side,
and Mr.. Bland, of Portsmouth, on the
other, were little more than spicy |
colloquies, in which the members were
greatly interested,
The bill provided that the magisterial |
districts vote for the requirement of the
roads, whereas Mr.. Whitehead contend
ed that as the county had TO pay for /
hem the whole county should be allowed |
70 vote on the question, and offered an
to that effect, which was
adopted. Another amendment was offer
ID by Mr.. Cation, and adopted, proving
hat if the county bought the main roads
I should be also required 10 take the
eeders or branch roads.
Mr.. Bland finally agreed to the
amendment providing that the entire
county vote on the proposition, and it
vas adopted. After the discussion had
ong passed the regular hour of adjourn
nent the pending question was called,
nd the bill, as amended, passed.
Among the local bills passed was one
reating a white military company at
jmithfeld. The House rejected reso-
ution by Mr.. Matthews to adjourn finally
