PRINCE HENRY IN RUSSIA.
Attempt Made to Give Visit a Political
Character.

st. Petersburg, April 4.-Prince and
Princess Henry of Prussia arrived at
Tsarskoe-SeIo this morning. At the
German embassy attempts to give a.
political character to Prince Henry's
visit and to connect it with the situa-
ton created by Emperor William s
Tangier speech were ridiculed, it be-
ing explained that the visit of the
princess to her sisters, the empress and
the Grand Duchess Sergius, during
the latter's period of mourning, was
announced before Emperor William
left Germany. The idea of an acute
crisis in Germany French relations
was secuted at the German embassy.
Princess Henry will remain for some
time at Tsarskoe-Selo, but the prince
will return to Berlin in a few days.
There has been a persistent rumor
that the Grand Duchess Sergius, who
is still crushed by the murder of her
husband, will shortly retire to a con
vent and devote her life to the church
Of which she is a very devout member

WHEAT-It begins to look as if the long
decline in the deferred futures OF wheat
least. July wheat has declined l5szc since
the latter part of February purely on nne
prospects and sunshine. The price OF cash
wheat and May wheat holds at a steady
premium of from 22,d25c over the July and
about Doc or more over September. Two
years ago took the bull side OF Wheat;
or nearby futures, representing actuaI
wheat. Statistical methods of over esti-
mating production and under estimating
consumption since 1901 have yearly lacked
confirmation Crops each year have been
smaller and consumption greater. The
crop experts sitting in the slSyscrapers al
over the country have made the condl-
lions of the growing crop most Iuxur1ant.
Last year at this time the prospects OF a
big crop were just as fine and some Of the
experts made the total crop for the u. s.
as high as 800, 600 bushels, and the re-
suit was that $50, 600 bushels was all
that could be found when the government
issued its official report on the 1904 crop
last December. The short seller or bear
trader who gives the prevailing discount
between cash and July wheat think IS
coneeding too much. I think purchases on
breaks will prove profitable for those who
have a little patience to wait

Him on BIortOn's Recommendation.

Washington, April 4.-The cireum-
stances under which Mr.. Shonts accept
ed the appointment as head of the com
mission are peculiar. He did not seek
the Office. It was rendered him
through Secretary Paul Morton, whose
business training has given him the
presidents confidence in the business
affairs of the government. Mr.. Shonts
was with Secretary Morton on the re-
cent cruise. On their return to Wash
ington Mr.. Shonts made it clear to the
president the conditions under which he
would accept the office. He was willing
to undertake the work only on condi-
ton that he would have a free hand
and would not be hampered in any way
by a pestiferous board or be hedged
about with red tape. With this under
standing he would make the building
of the canal his life work. The order
issued shows how complete is his auth

AN ARMY OF 10000.
Is Declared to Have Started for the
Russian Front.

St Petersburg April War Min
lister SakharoT, in an interview today,
declares that the reports of Russia
countermanding orders for war ma
terial abroad are baseless and grow
out of the declination of foreign offers,
with which the war Office and ad-
miraity have been sWamped. He in
sists that there has been no relaxation
in the preparations to continue the
war, but says there will be no new
mobilization at present. explaining as
stated in these dispatches that 49,
600 troops of the last mobilization
have already started for the front, and
that instead of mobilizing new troops
these viii be followed by portion of
this years conscripts.
General Sakharoff denied emphat-
ically that he ever intrigued against
General Kuropatkin, Affirming that he
gave the latter the most loyal support.
At the same time in discussing the
battle of Mukden, Sakharom declared
the men and material of the Russian
army were equal to those of the Japa-
nese, forcing the reluctant conclusion
that the Japanese generalship was SUI
perior to the Russians.
In denying the popular impression
that large proportion of army re-
serve men were sent to the front,
Sakharoff made the important admis-
sion that reserve men were only sent
in the early stages of the war, 'be-
fore we had assurances from Europe"
which is interpreted as a confession
that an arrangement was made with
Germany for covering the frontier of
Poland.

ton. All the arms which were in the

thorities.
Russia's Hope Is in RojestvensIxy.
New York, April 4.-Robert S. Nc
ambassador to France, who has just
arrived in Paris from St. Petersburg,
says he is surprised at the reports that
there was a desire to conclude peace at
any price manifested in official circles,
cables the Paris correspondent of the
Herald. According to Ambassador Nc
Corrnick, no such desire exists in St.
Petersburg.
"On the contrary in official circles,
there is he said, "a general desire to
continue the war to the bitter end, and
there are great hopes that Admiral
Rojestvensky will meet the japanese
feet and gain a victory which may in
effect change the entire aspect Of the
war.
"All the hopes of Russia are now cen
tered in that feet and its encounter with
the japanese squadron is looked for
ward to with confidence.

Pictnr.s of the Fight.

The San Francisco Call says of the
moving pictures Of the Britt-Nelson
fight
Jimmy Britt went down for the
count last night and Battling Nelson
was proclaimed champion white light
weight pugilist of the world. The
fight took place at Mechanics Pavil-
ion before 5000 bowling adherents OF
the two fighters, and when the final
blow came and put an end to the
champion laurels of the California
roy, the crowd rose to its feet and
gave a mighty shout sending out to
all the world the fact that n new
champion had been crowned. This
was not real fight, however; it was
merely the moving pictures of the
great battle down at Colma on Sep
tember Q. They were realistic and
pleased the crowd assembled. Billy
Jordan did the announcing just the
same as he did on that fearful day.
Every detail of the fight was plainly
pictured. The attraction will be at
