PRINCE ENDSTOUR
COMPLETES HIS ITINERARY
THIRTEEN STATES
MEETS APPROVAL IN AUSTRIA
OF
HIGHLY IMPRESSED WITH VISIT
Speaks In Cordial Terms of United
States and His Reception Grateful
for American Hospitality What
Captain Von Muller Said
NEW YORK March 8 Prince Hen
ry of Prussia yesterday completed his
tour and is once more in New York
where he will remain until Monday
when he goes to Philadelphia He was
absent from the city for nine days
during which time his special train
was within the territory of thirteen
states and logged a total distance of
4358 miles
He was greatly pleased with his trip
and last night through his aide Cap
tain von Muller issued a statement
expressing his satisfaction at the op
portunity which came to him and his
gratification at the cordiality with
which he was received throughout the
country Captain von Muller said
His royal highness is very much
pleased by his trip into the interior of
the United States He is fully aware
of the fact that he has had only a
very superficial glimpse of a very
small portion of the United States
and that he might perhaps have used
his time to greater advantage had he
remained in one of the larger cities of
the east But he is convinced never
theless that considering the charac
ter of his mission the trip was the
right thing for him In malting it he
has obtained a fair idea of the country
and its resources which the capital of
the United States and the great com
mercial centers of the east alone could
not have given him but more than
this impression he valuees the hearty
welcome which he met in all places
he went through a welcome that
showed him how the people of the
United States everywhere understood
and appreciated the intention of the
German emperor in sending him here
The prince made a speech in St
Louis in which he said he regretted
not to have been able to express his
thanks to those who greeted him at
the railway station or otherwise to
show him their respects He wishes
to have the intent of that speech con
veyed to all those who in the course of
the trip gave him such a cordial re
ception and especially he wishes to
express his thanks to those who early
in the morning when he was not pre
pared and still in bed welcomed him
with music and cheers
The receptions by the great cities
of the south and the middle west were
more than he ever had expected and
so were the receptions in the east
But his royal highness is equally
thankful for what the smaller places
did in showing him their good will
though the train in such places stop
ped only a few minutes and frequently
not at all
Altogether the prince is most grat
ified by his trip and shall never for
get how the American people every
where met him with hospitality and
sympathy
Elevation of Diplomatic Posts a Good
Move
VIENNA March 8 The Tremden
blatt referring to the decision of the
government to raise the mission of
Austria Hungary at Washington to an
embassy says
As the United States legation at
Vienna will also be converted into an
embassy the relations of Austria
Hungary and the United States will
be represented in a manner in con
sonance with the present importance
and which will be enhanced in the
future Political hostilities between
the two countries humanely speaking
is no more probable in the future than
it was in the past In view of the
impending rearrangement of the political-commercial
relations of Europe
and the United States it is doubly im
portant to be in close contact with
all nations which are pre eminent in
the economic domain

time of the last report Only three

LITTLE HOPE FOR STATEHOOD
Impression Prevails Among Delegates
that the Bill Will Fail
ARDMORE I T March 7 The
single statehood delegation from the
Indian Territory returned from Wash
ington today with little hope for sin
gle statehood during this session of
congress The following address to
the people of the territory from Dele
gate Bradford was issued today
I have not abandoned single state
hood but to the contrary I insist that
no statehood bill for Oklahoma can
be passed that does not in some way
provide for making Indian Territory
a part of it either as a state or terri
tory In my opinion no statehood leg
islation will pass this congress I am
of the opinion that a bill for tempo
rary territorial government for the
Indian Territory will pass It must
be a measure offering no resistance
to single statehood in the future

Says Our Government Cannot and
Will Not Interfere with War Uncle
Sam Will Stand by a Strict Neutral
ity Policy
WASHINGTON March 6 Messrs
Wolmarans and Wessels the Boer rep
resentatives who came to the United
States from Europe for the purpose of
conferring with the secretary of state
have achieved their purpose
They were received by Mr Hay at
11 oclock yesterday morning It was
distinctly understood that the Boers
were to be received as private citizens
and not in an official capacity Secre
tary Hay talked with them freely and
with this understanding The princi
pal object of the delegates was to in
duce the United States government to
do something to terminate the present
bloody struggle in South Africa They
were not very specific as to what they
wanted and apparently would be satis
fied with almost anything from inter
vention direct to a simple tender of
the good offices on the part of the
United States Secretary of State Hay
heard them attentively and promised
to consider their representations and
to do whatever he could Im ameliorate
tho conditions in South Africa But
he pointed out that the president was
the prime authority in such matters
and he recommended that they see
President Roosevelt and ascertain his
views This they agreed to do and
will be received at the white house in
the same unofficial way
Later in the day Messrs Wolmarans
and Wessels accompanied by Dr
Frederick Mueller of the Orange Free
State called at the white house They
were received by President Roosevelt
in the library and remained with him
about fifteen minutes They called as
private citizens and not in their of
ficial capacity as Boer representatives
Mr Roosevelt listened attentively to
what they had to say and then inform
ed them this government cannot and
will not interfere in the struggle
A matter of complaint by the dele
gates was the shipment of horses
mules and provisions from the United
States for the British forces in South
Africa Secretary Hay went over this
subject very carefully with them cit
ing authorities and precedents which
he pointed out conclusively establish
ed the lack of authoity on the part of
tho general government to prevent the
American farmer from shipping his
stock and the stock raiser from ship
ping his produce to any part of the
world he desired He also pointed out
that the governments attitude in ths
matter toward the South African war
had been strictly neutral and that the
government had done nothing to pre
vent shipments of commodities to the
Boer forces

EXPLAINS SAMAR MASSACRE
Gen Hughes Thinks it Due to Over
confidence in Natives
WASHINGTON March 5 In his
testimony before the senate committee
on the Philippines today General
Hughes related the particulars of the
massacre at Balangiga Samar last
September He took upon himself the
responsibility for the sending of
troops to that post and for the selec
tion of the officer who was placed
in command I had known him for
years he said He was a fine offi
cer and I had every confidence In
him
General Hughes said however that
he was convinced the disaster was due
to overconfidence and he had since
heard that the officer in command hac
reposed too great trust in the na
tives while serving in Luzon but ho
was not aware of this trait of the
mans character before giving him the
post at Balangiga
Speaking of the native soldiers Gen
eral Hughes said they generally did
well but should not be trusted except
under command of American superi
ors

ANOTHER GRAND REPORT
From nia Majestys Dockyard
Portsmouth Knglnntl
IVber Upwards of 10000 Men Aro
Constantly Kmployori
Some time ago tho Portsmouth
Times and Naval Gazette published a
most thrilling and remarkable experi
ence of the wife of Mr Frederick
Payne himself connected with tho
Portsmouth dockjard for many years
The report produced a great sensation
not only in Portsmouth but through
out the country being considered of
sufficient Importance for reproduction
and editorial comment by the leading
metropolitan and provincial press of
England as showing the marvelous
power which St Jacobs Oil possesses
as a cure for Rheumatism Its applica
tion having effected a perfect cure In
the case of Mrs Payne after having
been a helpless cripple and given up
by several physicians
We have now further evidence of its
Intrinsic value as a Pain Conqueror
Our readers will do well to follow the
Intelligent and highly interesting de
tails as given In Mrs Rabbets own
words
To the Proprietors St Jacobs Oil
Gentlemen My husband who is- a
shipwright in His Majestys dockyard
met with an accident to his ankle and
leg spraining both so badly that his
leg turned black from his knee to his
toes The doctor said It would be
months before he could put his foot to
the ground and it was doubtful
whether he would over get proper use
of his leg again
A few days after the accident I had
a book left at the door telling about St
Jacobs Oil so I procured a bottle from
our chemist Mr Arthur Creswell 379
Commercial Road I began to use
St Jacobs Oil and you may guess my
surprise when in about another week
from that date my husband could not
only stand but could even walk about
and in three weeks from the time I
first used the Oil my husband was
back at work and everybody talking
about his wonderful recovery This i3
not all Seeing what St Jacobs Oil
could do gave me faith in your Vogel
ers Curative Compound also favora
bly mentioned In the book left at my
house I determined to try the com
pound on my little girl who was suf
fering from a dreadful skin disease
the treatment of which has cost me
large sums of money in going from
one doctor to another with her all to
no purpose
She has taken two bottles of Vo
gelers Curative Compound and one
would now hardly take her for the
same child Her skin has such a nlco
healthy color after the sallow look she
has always had
I shall never cease to be thankful
for the immense benefit we have de
rived from these two great remedies
of yours I think it a duty to recom
mend these medicines now I have
proved their value
Signed Elizabeth S Rabbets
Grafton Street Mile End
Landport Portsmouth England
A liberal free sample of Vopelers Com
pound will be sent by addressing St
Jacobs Oil Ltd Baltimore
The above honest straightforward
statement of Mrs Rabbets evidence iB
strongpr and far more convincing than
pages of paid advertisements which
though in themselves attractive yet
lack that convincing proof which Mrs
Rabbets description of her own expe
rience supplies St Jacobs Oil has a
larger sale throughout the world than
that of all other remedies for outward
application combined and this can
only be accounted for from the fact
of its superiority over all others
For the Purchase of Palestine
At the request of influential Hebrews
of New York a bill has been intro
duced in the state legislature for the
incorporation of the Federation of
American Zionists The purpose of
the organization is the purchase of
Palestine from the Turkish govern
ment so that it may be open to such
Jews as may desire to go there from
any part of the world and make it
their home It is stated that many
rich men are interested in the meas
ure and that money can be raised to
any needed amount provided the porte
is willing to accept the proposition for
a sale
A Different Opinion

ator Vest of Missouri and Senator
Morgan of Alabama are well under

new senator who had been offended by
a colleague and who approached Sen
ator Vest and said Isnt Jones the
worst ass that ever broke into public
life The frail and venerable states
man from Missouri is reported to have
replied I cant say You know I
am pretty thoroughly committed on
that proposition to Morgan Leslies
