PARIS Dec. 9-In spite OF the an
nouncement that King Alfonso of Spain
has become engag ged, there are many
here who believe that he may still
change his mind or. rather, assert what
is already in his mind-that he has not
yet found the princess whom ne con-
siders worthy of the honor of becoming g
Queen or Spain.
The stubbornness which is the most
prominent trait in his character is a
source of great anxiety both TO his
mother and TO his ministers, and since
his recent visit 10 Germany il has be-
come more evident than ever that he

State to Probe Insurance Business,

Yesterday at Albany Gov. Higgins sent
an emergency message to the legislature
calling its attention to the life insurance
companies and enabling 1t to appoint
Joint legislative committee to deeply pillow
up the field of life insurance In New York
and to prepare and recommend to the next
legislature, which meets in January 'such
proposed legislation may be adequate
and proper TO restore public confidence and
to compel life insurance companies to con-
duct a safe. honest and open business for
the benefit of their policy holders" The
legislature promptly took just such action
as Gov. Higgins had prevented 1t taking for
four weeks and up to few minutes before
the special session which has tried Justice
Hooker was about to adjourn. Within two
hours after it received the governors mes
sage, both houses of the legislature had
adopted resolution ordering a thorough
investigation of the life insurance COM
panies and appropriating $4,000 to pay the
expenses of the Investigating committee.
This investigation will be made by a spe-
cial joint committee with ample powers, of
which the chairman will be Senator Will
lam w. Armstrong of Rochester republi-
can. The other senators on the committee
will be William ]. TulIy of Corning, re-
York city, democrat. Senators Armstrong
and Tully are lawyers Senator Riordah is
a real estate and insurance agent. The two
republicans are said to have been selected
by Gov. Higgins and Senator Raines.

CAME OVER IN STEERAGE.
Wealthy Russian Says He is Prince
Gone West to Locate

Disheartened over the future of his own
country and believing in the ideals of the
United States Prince Potemkin, a descend
ant of the Prince Potemkin for whom the
Prince Kniaz Potemkin. the war ship cap
tU~ed by mutneers. was named. and who
won the Crimea for Catherine the Great
when he her chief adviser, has aban-
doned Russia and come to seek his fortune
in this country
With the proceeds from the sale of his es-
tate in the form of drafts and letters of
credit he arrived on the Bretagne and has
gone west TO purchase a ranch on which
he hopes to work out his destiny under con-
ditions more agreeable TO him than those of
his native land.
Although he had the equivalent of $4,000
with him, he arrived in the steerage and
got his first Impressions of the United
States through Ellis Island. He was not,
however. detained there after his identity
and circumstances became known, and he
lost no time in starting for the point he
had already determined on as his future
home. Its exact location he declined to
make known though he described 1t as
meeting all of his ideals.
His purpose in coming here in the steer
age he explained, was twofold. Mainly he
sought to save the difference between a
steerage and first or second class passage,
as he feared even $4,000 would not be any
too much to start life on in this country;
brc he was also anxious, he said, to study
the conditions of the Russian and other i'm
migrants on their way to this country.
Prince PCtemkin announced himself as q
follower of Tolstoi. He said he had become
convinced that there was little prospect of
improvement in conditions in Russia. De-
termining that in this country he would
find more than anywhere else the opportu-
nifty for freedom of thought and action
which he seeks, he said he had sold his
property for 49, 900, of which $4,000 went
10 pay debts, leaving him the So, 900 that
he brought with him.
He is thIrty-five years old, tall and broad
shculdered, with a pleasant face. When he
arrived he was attired in the typical Rus
sian costume of long coat, drawn in by a
belt at the waist and with high Russian
boots. He speaks French and German flu
emily, but English only imperfectly
