PRINCE COMING HERE
REUSS OF GERMANY TO VISIT
CAPITAL.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November q
Prince Henry Of Reuss returned 20 Phi
adelphia this morning. When he was here
last week as the guest of Mrs. Livingstone
his time was absorbed by society, but on
this second expedition he intends to eschew
the social whirl and to see something of
the industrial side OF the city. As a starter
he made a tour to Cramps ship yards, in
vestigating carefully all the latest i'm
provements for the construction of the
mighty battleship. the graceful yacht and
the useful tugboat.,
The prince Is greatly interested In ma
chinery and is somewhat of a mechanical
expert himself. Though he is member
Of the royal family of Holland, he is no
mere dilettante. He has travelled widely
observed intelligently, and digested the
knowledge of foreign manners and customs
thus cleaned.
Since leaving Philadelphia the prince has
been entertained extensively in New York
and Newport, but he apparently is not a
lover of formal social events for he in
sisted on deserving his German hosts and
returning to Philadelphia to view our big
industries.
Tomorrow the prince goes to Washington.
Next week he will visit James T. Wood
ward at his beautiful estate in Marylan,.
where several fox hunts have been ar
ranged for the titled sportsman

MURDERED ON STREET
WEALTHY VICTIM OF A PITTS
BURG HoLD-UP.

PITTSBURG, Pa, November 2.-The body
OF James A. McMillen, aged sixty-five years.
was found in field quite close to the corner
of Burchfield and Murray avenues in the
East End district and but a short distance
from his home at 80 Burchfeld avenue.
That he had been robbed and murdered
was evident. as his head was crushed and
his pockets rified of everything they had
contained. His gold watch as well as sew
eral diamonds he wore were also missing
The place where the body was found is
one of the most lonely in the city. The
houses are far apart and few, while the
boulevard and avenues are almost deserted
in the evening.
1t was learned that McMillen went to the
country yesterday. His failure to return
home last night caused no uneasiness as he
frequently was away over night on these
trips.
1t is the opinion of the police that he
was held up by highwaymen, and when
he resisted they killed him.
A force of police and detectives are work
ing on the case, but so far they are with
out clue. McMillen was manufacturer
agent, said to be quite wealthy.

BRITISH ELECTIONS.
Liberals Were Too Free With the Tax
Money.

LONDON, November 2-The triennial
elections Of the London borough councils
have resulted in overwhelming victory
for the municipal reformers who in some of
the boroughs absolutely wiped out the pro-
gressives. The victors were formerly known
as moderate, and represent the unionist
party. and the progressives include the lib
eral and labor parties. After several years
of progressive regime, during which, 1t is
contended, the taxes were increased to abb
normal figures in consequence of huge ex-
penditures. including paIatiaI warehouses.
Turkish baths for workmen who did NOT
use them and club houses and other similar
municipal luxuries, the borough councils are
once again great strongholds of toryism.
The provincial municipal elections also
have resulted in a rout for the liberals In
complete results show that the liberals have
a net loss Of thirty-three representatives
and that the conservatives have a. net loss
Of f1fty-nine The labor party has a net
gain of nine.
In London the labor party candidates
seem to have Jared even worse than the pro-
gressives. but they made small gains in the
provinces.
