IllIKLIN, July 21. (Now York World Ca
blegram Special TelcgrRin.) 1'rlnco Henry
of 1'iussln, brother of the .German emperor
and admiral In tho German navy, Is the only
foreign prlnco over received by tho emperor
and downgcr empress of China. 1'rlnco
Henry never published his ImprcsslonB of
tho Chlneso court nnd ruler, but I have so
cured a description of both In the prince's
own words from a distinguished English
visitor at tho Kiel regatta, who heard It
from tho prince's own Hps after a dinner
given by tho kultcr aboatd tho Hohenzollorn.
1'rlnco Henry's own story follows:
"Wo went ashore from the licet at the old
port of Takti, or Tcmg-Ku, on May 13, 1S9S,
and started for Pckln. At tho landing was
a noisy crowd of coolies. We nro wheeled
to thn railway station through foul smell
ing, dusty streets hardly wider than alleys.
"Tho viceroy sent mo nnd my party a pri
vate car, but the trip to Tien Tsln was not
enjoyable. It occupied nbout an hour,' al
though tho tllstnnco Is trilling. Tien Tsln
lies acrojs a narrow river from Tien Tsln
station. Wo dhl not go. Tho run to Peklu
was thon resumed nnd nt tho end of two
nours wo woro landed outsldo tho walls
near ono of tho gates lending Into tho capi
tal. Tho trip from Tien Tsln Is across a
level plain, evcrywhero under cultivation.
When Hi; Itfiicliril iVkln,
"Tho entire trip between Tnku nnd Pokln
resumbltd, a triumphal Journey. Our train
was festooned with boughs nnd (lowers.
Kvery station we passed was profusely dec
orated with lings. I wns received nt the sta
tion outsldo PeUIn by a mandarin of tho
highest grade, representing the Imperial
government. He mndo most obsequious

know how to respond. The emperor's
brother, a delicate, Inscrutable looking, but
dignified young prince, nwalted mo at tho
station nnd received me ns I stepped from
tho railway cnrrlage. Ho wns extremely
courteous. Outside tho lnclosuro surround
ing tho landing platform a mixed crowd of
well dressed merchants und naked coolies,
nil Jammed together, watched us In muto,
staring silence.
"Tho dusty rond to the city gnto and the
streets or alloys lending to tho (Jcrmnn em
bassy wcro lined with Imperial troops pre
senting nrnw, but tho vast crowd behind tho
row of guards wns singularly silent, render
ing tho reception almost portentous of
trouble.
"Wo entered first tho Chlneso city through
a smnll but yawning archway In tho thick
wall and woro wheeled for two miles
throughout tho busiest nnd most confused
Undo mart Imaglriablo until wo approached
tho highly Imposing watch towers and ser

"I am of tho opinion that the fllspatch bo-

believes that our minister and tho others

First That efllcaclous protection nnd

between the French minister nt Pekln and

sassinntlon. Later he found ho was talking
to the attorney for the prosecution. Ho said
Campbell did not promise hlra anything for
nis testimony.
Witness said that he had an Idea that
Goebel was to bo killed, but he thought It
would be In a flcht and not by assassination
When told by John Powers to keep out of
range, us some fellows In the lobby were
going to do tho work tor Ooebel when he
came In, he hurried off to prevont the
assassination.

Pdwers bad Instructed him to have his men
crowd Into thu ntate house so tho governor
would havo on excuse to call out the mllltla.
When they got there, however, Governor
Bradley refused them admittance. Witness
reiterated that the object of Powers and
others wns to Intimidate the comm.'osloners.
Witness was still on tho stand when the
court took a recesj till afternoon.

POCATELLO, Idaho, July 21. The popu
lists held nn exciting session of thulr con.
ventlon this morning uvcr the rejection by
the democrats the night before of the ulti
matum sent to them by the populists. They
Old not withdraw the ultimatum, but author
ized their conference committee to again
meet with the other. The meeting of the
committees resulted In n deadlock. Tho
democrats offered the populists ccugrcts-
roan, auditor and mine inspector and to tho
silver republicans senator and secretary of
state. The latter accepted, but the popu
lists demanded the secretary ot stnte and
ono elector In addition. The democratic
convention Instructed Its committee to ro-
fuso to yield. The populists then, ns a pre
requisite to yielding, demanded that the
democrats adapt the following resolution:
Resnlvpit. Thnf vi ilnm.intl fh llnmpillntn
discontinuance of martini law In Shoshone
county, under which the nernlclous system
of permits to seek employment hits been In-
uumirnieu, unit we tiumami tno nuoiition ot
said system,
We further ilemniiil th.it nil further civil
and political rlphts guaranteed by the con
stitution und the laws be Immediately re
stored to ull citizens of our beloved state.
After n sharp debate Involving tho Coeur
d'Alcno policy ot tho state administration
the democratic convention unanimously voted
to clone negotiations with tho populists nnd
fuao with the sliver republicans.
Tho convention adopted Its platform, hut
remained In recess most of the afternoon,
hoping tho populists would recede. But the
populists voted not to recede and tonight
It looks as though, thero would not be fusion
of tho three parties.
Tho platform of the democrats endorses
tho Kansas City platform nnd especially the
financial plank and ratifies the national
ticket. It demands the election of senators
by direct vote and Indorses the record of
tho stnte administration. The platform is
devoted largely to state affairs. Senator
Shpup Is denounced for his vote on the
financial bill nnd other measures. It favors
compulsory reference of disputes between
labor and capital to a nonpartisan board of
arbitration. It declares for enorcemcnt of
tho law and protection of nil . tho enjoy
ment of their rights under the constitution
and law?.
Captain Frank W. Hunt of Lemhi county,
who served In tho Philippines with the vol
unteers, was nominated for governor on tho
olghtecntn ballot by the democrats. Tho
silver republicans have nominated Hon. Fred
T. Dubois for United Stntes senator nnd C.
J. Bassctt for secretary of stale.
Tho populists havo nominated a full ticket
headed by T. L, Glenn of Bear Lake for
congressman and J. W. Ballentlno of Blalno
county for governor. Tho democrats have
named Judge C. O, Stockslager for supreme
court justice. Thero have been nine bal
lots for governor without result. L. C. Rice
has eighty-seven votes on tho ninth ballot.
John W. Qoode, 67: C. It. Jackson, 42; F. H.
