presented by the Archduke Franc! Ferdi
nand, the heir presumptive to the Am
trlan throae, together with baaket of
rare old Tokay wine, when he goes to
England to represent the emperor at the
coronation.
The portrait would have been made char
acteristic had the emperor consented to
cave It painted In the Austrian uniform

him well la, but courtesy demanded that
he (hould wear the scarlet coat conferred
upon him by Queen Victoria, along with
the colonelcy of the guards regiment. He
wears the grand collar of the golden
fleece and the ribbon and order of the gar

Plays a, Daagereaa Gam.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand I playing
dangerous game. He baa offended the
Hungarian, who were not too deeply la
lor with him before, and who do sot
mind discussing the possibility of ' not
taking him for a king when Francis Jo
seph disappeared from the scene. The
archduke la paying a visit tot the ccar to
thank him for Ms conferring upon htm
the epaulets of a Russian colonel. It Is
a time-honored custom that la such a
case the archduke should be attended by
a suite made up of Austrian and Hun
garian, ae this always prove the fact
(of which the Hungarlane are jealous)
that Hungary Is Just as Important a part
of the monarchy as Is Austria.
The archduke, whose wife make him
flaunt his clerical notions In everybody's
face continually, cboea the. leader of the
fcMicl opposition party la the Hungarian
Reichstag, Count Johann Zelchy, whom
the archduke does not even know per
. sonally, and made htm an offer to go to
Et. Petersburg with him,
Haacarlaa Premier Objects.
Zelchy- readily accepted, hut when the
Hungarian premier learned what had hap
pened he rushed off to Vienna and ex
plalned to the emperor that It was Im
possible that a noted clerical, the most
violent opponent to the Hungarian gov
ernment, ahould be the man chosen among
nil Hungarians to attend the heir to the
throne on an Important mission to n
foreign court.
The archduke refused to see the Hun-
Karlaa premier at first. Then, when he
was made to do so and was asked to select
someone else from a list of ten Hungarian
. 1 , . 1 1 - , tT I
noblemen, he tor up the list and said he
Would take no Hungarian at all.
Of course the Hungarian premier kept
ths secret of thin unseemly Incident, but
the clerical papers published it. and now
the radical deputies to the Hungarian
Uiet will ask why no Hungarian appeared
with the archduke at th court of St.
Petersburg. ' Perhaps the archduke will
learn too late that he hae done all he !
eeuld to make himself unpopular in
Hungary.

considered so dangerous that Superln

for the dead may be prosecuted without

The city council of Tellurtde has decided
to pay half the expense of recovering and
burying the bodies, and the Tom

be closed to enable all their employes to

CINCINNATI. March 1. Prince Henry
ot Prussia traversed the statea of Mary
land. Pennsylvania and Ohio today and to
night his special train Is speeding through
Kentucky Into Tennessee, with th bsttl
field around Chattanooga as Its final
southern goal.
Hs stopped for formal receptions at AN
tooaa, Plttaburg, Columbua and Cincinnati,
but the welcome extended to him was
not limited to those places. Everywhers
along tha line during daylight aad long
after darkness the people gathered at tba
stations to cheer him aa he speeded along.
Th storm that swelled the rivers to the
dsnger point had passed away and be
saw a sons ot three states la bright sun
light. He saw n stretch of fifty miles of
the Allegheny mountains from the cab of
an engine nnd most of It was down grade
at n speed that thrilled. The train had
lost two hour at Portage by reason ot a
wreck to the wertward of that point, and
when the special got a clear track again
an attempt waa made to win back the time
that had been lost.
Slaty Miles aa Hoar.
At times th swaying engine was run
ning sixty miles an hour and when tha
prince left the cab he was almost aa
grimy aa th engineer. When not re
sponding to th reception h waa busy
sightseeing and studying a large map,
which had been aet up In hla car. He
asked many questions ss to th industries
of Pennsylvania and Ohio and mad ex
tended note on th margin of th map.
H was very enthusiastic over th events
of the dsy, and It was lata that h re
tired to rest befor going to the evening
reception.
He dined at 7 p. m. and while he and his
guests wer at the table tha epeed of the
train waa cut down to forty mile an hour.
Hla guests st dinner wer: . Admiral
Evans, Ambassador Holleben. Major Gen
eral Corbln, Assistant Secretary of Stats
Hill, Carol Polller, German consul at Cla-
Innatl, and Lieutenant Commander von
Egldy.
- Obliges His Admirers.
Th prtnee left th dining table to ac
knowledge the cheers of n small crowd .
that had gathered about a water tank out
side of Xenia. They numbered less thsa
fifty, but when the prince heard that they
wanted to see him he obligingly left the
table and went to th rear platform. He
bowed to the little crowd nnd then waved
hi napkin, which ha had carried out with
blm. .
Much of th time lost at Portage, Pa..
wss msde up In Ohio, and unless ther ar
other unforseea delays th train will re
gain Ita position on tha schedule during
tha night.
Th train bearing Prince Henry and

even the yarda were filled by peopl long
befor tha time for arrival.
Crowd I Immense.
It wa estimated that ther were from
30.000 to 40,000 people in the vicinity and
half that many within the depot nnd yard.
Th depot waa cleared for the reception
and a large platform erected, ao that Prince
Henry and ault could step from their car
onto it. Over thla platform waa a large
canopy of electric lights, with Illuminated
ccats of arms of Germany and the United
Bute.

Cincinnati, the University cadets and other
organizations, as well sa hundreds t t p?opls
In ths assembled multitude, were liberally
supplied with German and American flags,
and somewhat rehearsed In waiving them
before the train arrived.
The whole police fore of th city was
marshalled in and about ths depot aad
perfect order was maintained. Befor th
train atopped person wer seen climbing
on top of it the tops of th car wer
literally covered with men when tha prlne
waa alighting and th officer were com
pelled to patrol tha tope and clear It be
fore leaving the depot.

When th train waa so adjuated that the

tibule ot his car onto th platform, h

a largo reception eommltte of leading cit
izens. When quiet was restored Msyor Flelsch
