are practically the same AZ those which
will be in force at the Sues canal next
year.
The president based his declaration
OF rates upon the report and inves-

The report has been awaited with
interest by shipping interests through

public last night. the Panama canal

successfully with the Suez route for

PRINCE EXPECTS TO HANG
Convict Who Killed Deputy Warden
Indifferent as to Fate. =

PenitentIsry Authorities Unable to
Learn Name of Prisoner Who
Held Prince and Prevented
Further Violence.
From a Staff Correspondent.

From a Staff Correspondent
LINCOLN. Feb. l2.-tSpecial Telegram.)
Albert Prince, the negro convict who as
saulted and killed Deputy Warden E. j.
Davis at the penitentiary Sunday. is now
confined In a solitary cell. He expresses
no regret for his crime and says that he
expects to hang for It, Even this pros
pect does not appear to effect him in
the least and he discusses il with indif-
ference. The prison officials are taking
the utmost care that the desperate man
does no harm to anyone else.
Whenever there Is occasion TO enter
his cell two men will be there. the duty
Of one being to watch Prince to see that
he does no harm and great care is also
being taken that he does not have an
opportunity to commit suicide. There
Is every reason to believe that no one
beside Prince had any hand In or pre-
vious knowledge Of the proposed crime
though all the circumstances show con-
clusively that II was premeditated and
carefully planned.
The first one 10 come to the aid OF
Warden Davis was convict, but in the
confusion none Of the officials noticed
who II was. Neither the convict himself
nor his fellows will tell, and though the
officials would like to find out they have
been unable 10 do so. Just why this
should be can be explained only on the
generally known fact that convicts are
always disinclined to talk about anything
which happens In the prison.
The authorities are preparing to brins
the case to the attention of the court as
soon as possible and a speedy prosecu-
T, tlon is assured. The complaint will b,
filed Immediately after the funeral Of
Mr.. Davis. which lie set for wednesday
afternoon. The coroner's inquest will b,
held tomorrow.
