he never uttered any opinion. He OBJ
served. however. that foreign diplomatists
were not astonished at Great Britain's
boycott OF Servia, and If he were an
Engllshman he would take the same
view.
During the Russo-Japanese war he did
not conceal his sympathy with the Japa-
nese, but otherwise there was little re-
markable in his behavior till last year.
Then he suddenly began to exhibit a dis
taste for court society. Adjutants and
courtiers were abused freely. and ridi-
culed in their attempts 10 ape the
manners of other courts. The prince
laughed ironically at his fathers admoni-
tions, and behaved just as he pleased.
The writer says the secret is that Prince
George feels his ostracism acutely. He
expected TO associate with royalties, and
to accompany his father 10 the European
capitals. He sees that King Peter has
not been received yet at a single foreign
court, hence his bitter resentment toward
those whom he considers 20 be the cause
Of his position. namely. the present gov
eminent and the court functiOnaries. He
detests the whole business. and wishes to
demonstrate his disgust openly with the
situation.
The crown prince is not mad. but he Is
wrought UP TO the highest nervous ten
sion. The writer adds that it is untrue
that the prince ever harmed anybody, ex-
cept himself. though in his excitement he
often uses violent language

FL Reno, Okla, Dec. 23.-The masked
negro who shot Capt Edgar A. Macklin.
commanding Company D. Twenty-ffth IN
fantry, at his quarters in this garrison,
last Friday night. has disappeared COM
pletely. Maj Penrose. commanding Fort
Reno, has employed a number Of detec-

by a bloodhound a distance Of four miles.
TO Darlington station. on the Rock Island
Railway, where il is believed the negro
got aboard train and left the country.
Police are searching for ex-Convict J. c.
Eubank who was at Fort Reno at dusk
on the day Of the shooting. Since the
shooting no trace Of him has been found
Nothing beyond the fact that he has dis
appeared has been learned Of Eubanks'
movements on the night of the assault
that might connect him with the crime.
Capt. Macklin is strong, and able TO talk
freely with his friends. despite his
wounds and his fun recovery is expected

downward through his mouth. and lodged
in his lower right Jaw, imbedding itself
in the bone which was fractured. The
other bullet, which knocked Macklin from
his feet and rendered him unconscious
for a short time, hit him slightly 10 the
left Of the heart, and passed over his
ribs. beneath the skin to his back. where
it was easily removed by the surgeons.

New York, Dec. 23.-DuTing the sixteen
years that Daniel Kelly has been travel

Tombs, and the Tombs and Sing Sing. he
has taken at least 15,0OO prisoners 10 the
prison on the banks Of the Hudson. He
has recently resigned.

How do prisoners act while you are
taking them to prison?" was asked.
That depends upon the prisoner" re-
piled Kelly I remember Rafaele Gas

and was under sentence Of death. All the

we reached the station at Sing Sing Gas
cone whistled and sang. He was a pro

a man carry on the way this fellow did
Nobody would believe that l was taking
him to the death house"
What is the general topic Of CONVEX

was asked.
The old-timers. men who go back for
the second or third or fourth time, are
talking usually about the job they expect

troubles him most is whether or not he

They don't like shops. With the first
offender it is different. He does not
know anything about the game, and,
therefore, has 10 choice"
Did you ever have any trouble with
d prisoner while you were taking him
to Sing Sing?' was asked.
"Only once" replied Kelly. "That man
was Henry Ford. While we were in the
train he tried to jump out of the window.
Ford became insane on the way to the
prison. He was afteTward transferred
to Matteawan. where he died.
During all the years that Kelly has

many secrets by prisoners. Never did
Kelly violate the confidence these un-

He has always enjoyed the greatest con-

WILLIAMS ASSAILS TARIFF
Declares Republicans Aided Trusts
Rather Than San Francisco.
Feared TO Take Duty OF Structural
Materials, but willing TO
Vote Peoples Money.

The attitude Of the California mem
bors or Congress in voting AT the last
session against the proposition 10 re-
duce the duties on structural material In
order that builders in san Francisco
could get better terms on work made
necessary by the earthquake, is stlll the
subject OF no little inquiry on the part
Of the Caiif0rnians. The issue was prom
inently brought forward by Democrats
AZ the last election, and while the Re
publcans won pronounced victory at
the polls. Democratic members Of the
House are still receiving letters from
California asking about the records OF
their Congressman.
1t is declared that Representative Need
ham, "a member Of the WAYS and Means
Committee, and other Republicans ius-
ufy their course Of opposition on the
ground that Representative John Sharp
Williams, the Democratic leader de-
clined To agree TO refrain from Offering
TO the California bill other tariff amend
ments. Thus, the California Republicans
claim, the whole subject Of tariff re-
vision would have been opened by Mr..
Williams.
in a recent letter the Democratic leader
declares that be- declined 20 be held up
and have his hands tied. so that he could
not offer amendments 10 the bill. Mr..
Williams, in part. writes
THE truth is that the tariff is so fun
Of inequalities and abuses that the Re
publlcans were afraid TO take step
toward relieving even Republican city
i1 distress. for fear that enough Republic
can members. not held in absolute sub
lection by "a Republican Speaker. might
vote with Democrats to alter other parts
OF the tariff Al any rate. this is the ex-
cuse they gave.
The insincerity of the excuse is wit
messed by the fact that the majority OF
the House was Republican, that the Com
mittee on Rules was Republican. and
could have cut of the right of amend
ment as it has done again and again. and
which I fully expected 10 TO do If my bill
had been reported
"A party ought 20 be ashamed Of itself
which. with "a majority of H. is afraid
10 risk its own membership on any fair
and square amendment which might have
been germane and in order. II seems that
the Republicans are 20 be excused for
their indefGnsible conduct upon the
ground that while I promised TO vote foI
a good bill, I did not promise not u
amend IL so as 10 make il, in my opinion
better
THE ultimate truth is this: The Re
publican party was willing to vote any
amount of dollars out of the Treasury
for the relief Of San Francisco-dOllarS
which had been placed there by taxing
all the people-bUt was not willing tC
vote 81 OF iU-gotten gains TO come out OF
the pockets Of the cement trust or the
steel trust or any other specially hot
housed favorite industry. They dared
not break a single link in the armor OF
the combinations or special interests"
