WASHINGTON IMPRESSES KIM WELL
Praaalses to Tell Hla Vaele Akaat
Eaeetrlelty Caasitsla tke
Bollday Bearing af the Pee
pie Kuaday.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, May 1. i8pecll.)-One
of the most Interesting visitors Washing
ton has seen In years Is the Imperial Prince
Pu Lun, nephew of the emperor of China,
who waa In the nation's capital this week
as our country's guest. Pu Lun Is a boyish
looking celestial with a studious cast of
countenance. Hie visit to Washington was
made particularly enjoyable not only by
the Chinese minister, but by entertain
ments given In his honor by the president.
Secretary Hay and ex-Secretary John W.
Foster. Pu Lun likes us and In his diary.
hlch he Is keeping for the purpose of
writing his Impressions of America, he has
written the following about Washington:
"Arrived Washington Saturday, April 23.
Find it a beautiful, clean, well kept city.
Will make a study of Its Improvements for
future use." Prince Pu Lun hss promised
his tutor, Wong Kai Kah, that when the
prince returns home he will gather the
fragments of this diary and after elabo
rating th notes will print it in book form
as a souvenir of his visit to ths United
States. Through his tutor Prince Lun
made some Interesting observations regard
ing the people of this country. He ssid
that the use of electricity waa one of the
subjects that he would take up with his
august uncle, the emperor of China, so
that the knowledge he has gained may be
used by his people for their betterment.
He wss particularly struck with the or
derly arrangement of the streets and said
that there was already a movement in
Peking to have the city laid Out on new
lines and also to Introduce electricity for
street lighting.
Struck by Holiday Air.
Speaking through the Interpreter and
tutor, who is a very learned man and who
haa had charge of the prince's education In
the imperial palace since the prince waa
boy, the heir to the throne of China said:
"I was very much struck with the holiday
air of four streets on Sunday. The people
here seem to enjoy themselves so much.
Alas, with us there Is constant work. I
admire the singular beauty of your streets
Ith their little green parka and the
smoothness of them. Tour buildings, too,
are large, but you do not have them too
tall. Some I saw in San Francisco wero,
I believe, what you call 'sky scrapers.'
They were very strange looking, Indeed.
I never imagined men would build so high.
Tour Soldiers' Home here la a great In
stitution. We are trying to establish some
thing like that at home."
The prince la exceedingly democratic afr
fable and interested In everything going on
about him. He has asked that no particu
lar form be observed In presentations to
him. He accepts the polite pantomime of
tha people with simple and smiling grace,
for he understands not a single word of
English. He has, however, tn his tutor,
Wong Kal Kah, a learned Orientalist, as
well as a distinguished English scholar,
and to this man the prince constantly turns
for Information.
Flad First Map with America Oa.
After nearly four centuries of mystery
the first msp on which the name of Amer
ica was ' used ' to designate the western
hemisphere has been found. It was mad
by Martin 'Wald Seemuller. "a geographer
of the little city of St. Diet, situated In
the French Department of the Voages.
Ever since 1607 everybody has known of
a little Is tin book printed In St. Dlel
and made .amous because It first advo
cated that the new hemisphere should be
called America, after Amerigo Vespucci.
From reference In the book It waa evi
dent that It was accompanied by som.
sort of a map, but the map was missing.
Copies were found of the msp which
geographer believed belonged to the book,
but still no one knew what had become
of the original. Search was begun and
after years waa finally abandoned and the
subject of the first map which had America
printed thereon was . almost forgotten,
when a German professor stumbled upon
the missing map In the Princely library
of tha Caatle of . Wolf egg. Here It haa
lain for centuries) hidden amid tomes of
morocco and parchment. Now copies are
to be made of It so that the world may be
able to look npon the map upon which
"America" waa first printed.

While congrsss haa accomplished much
since Its meeting In November much la yet
to be accomplished during tha life of the
Fifty-eighth congreas. Among tha "left
overs" is the immigration question, which
haa been temporarily pushed aside, but
which cannot fall to attract great Interest
when th treaty with China comes before
tha senate for ratification. Effort was
made during tha present aesslon to get the
Immigration before congress, but the effort
failed and a sop In ths way of an amend
ment was grafted onto a supply bill to
temporarily tide over the situation until
the treaty with China could be completed
Another subject of vast Importance to
this government Is the renewal of the con
tract with tha Auatrlan government and
th Cunard Una of steamers. This mat
ter was pushed aside because congress was
anxious to get away. With politics In th
air and seata In both bodies In tha balance,
It has been a universal custom of our leg'
Isiatlve bodies to avoid any legislation that
might be taken advantage of by tha op
position and unexpectedly an Issue made
out of It. ,
Balldtaaj Project, laaettled.
Tha extension of the capltol waa also
pushed aside. This Is a subject which la
certain to arouse very general discussion
when It comes before the short session of
congress, for there Is pronounced opposition
against the extension of the east front as
provided in the original plana made by the
architect, Mr. Walters. Ths session just
ended contented Itself with the creation of
a commission which was empowered to as
certain tha views of leading architects of
the country aa to the feasibility of th
Walter's plan for the extension of ths
east front and such othsr technical Infor
mation aa would throw light .upon the sub
ject. It Is possible that the extension of
th east front may go over until another
congress, the present session having voted
to give th senators an office) building cor
responding to ths office building provided
by th last congreas for th members of
th houaa of representatives. While th
office building for th senate waa strenu
ously fought by some of the members of
th house th agreement between the sen
ate and the houaa committee on appropria
tion during tha Fifty-seventh congress.
when Spesker Cannon waa chairman of
that commute waa the subject of con
siders bis discussion, th house finally do
cidlng to stand by th action of th com
m It tee on appropriations and th senate
will geta Its building, plana for which will
be prepared by several of the leading archi
tects and submitted to the commission to
have charge of Ha erection in conjunction
with the superintendent of th capltol. Mr.
ElUott Woods. ' I
Tha side-tracking of the eight-hour bill
th measure for national good roada. and
the ahlp eubeldy blU will leave congreas
iwlth much en Ita hands when It meets
next December, to say nothing of th con
firmation of Collector Crum at Charleston,
8. C. A to the latter, tha president was
Insistent that something definite should be
don by th senate looking to th con
firmation or rejection of Mr. Crum, th
negro against whom Senator Tillman mads
on of his characteristic speeches. The
senators, however, In the absence of Sen
ator Tillman, refused to break a time
honored precedent, and th Crum case went
over.
Comntlaeloa Has Ample Powers.
Far more importance is attached to th
Panama canal bill, which was one of the
last measures to psss the ordeal of a con
ference committee, than Is generally sup
posed. The bill gives the president the
right to designate who ahall control af
fairs on the isthmus until the end of the
next session of congress, and this means
that (he commission will have ample
powers. It means also that practical work
will begin during the current year and that
th commission will begin at once the
preparation of plans for letting contracts.
The house did not seem to think it neces
sary to reapproprlate th $10,000,000 to b
paid for the concession. But the members
of the senate had Information which led
them to Insist strenuously upon this par
ticular paragraph. It remains In th bill
aa It become a law and will serve to
forestsll the action of a band of conspira
tors who saw, or thought they saw. an
opportunity to foment strife between Pan
ama and Colombia. It waa learned that
some agents of the Republic of Colombia,
acting with authority, had taken prelim
inary steps toward a series of lawsuits
by which It waa expected to tie up. In the
United States courts, the 110.000,000 which
Is to be paid to Panama. This they be
lieved could be done, because congress had
not heretofore stipulated in express terms
that the money is to be paid over to the
Infant republic. The action of congress
leaves the situation clear', and avoids even
the chance of long drawn out litigation.
The title to the property of the French
company Is now vested in the United States
of America, and just as soon ss the neces
sary preliminaries can be arranged, con
tracts will be msde for the physical work.
Ten million dollars Is available for this
and the commission Is determined that the
work shall be pushed with sufficient vigor
to convince the world that the United
States Is in earnest In Its desire to com
plete a waterway betweeii the Atlantic
and the Pacific.
Standardising; th Bnshel.
The Bureau of Standards, which I an
Important division of ths Department of
Commerce and Labor, has In press a vol
ume of great Importance to the commerce
of the country. Thla work, Which will
be' published within a few months, will
exhibit the standard measures In every state
of the Union and It will astonish those
who see It. According to the data gath
ered by . Mr. Stratton, the chief of the
bureau, It appears that the capacity of
a bushel, for Instance, varies so greatly
In the different states that It Is difficult
to understand how business can be con
ducted with anything like uniformity. Thla
Is particularly noticeable In grain meas
urements, for oats, wheat, beans and seeds
of all kinds are -rated by a dosen different
standard In aa many states.
Nor Is It In measures of volume alone
that thla diversity exists. In the matter
of wire gauges there are no less than four
different standards recognised by th
trsde. It Is the purpose of the volume
now to be published to show these wld
differences end to pave the way for con
gress to enact some, general legislation
which will fix a national stsndard, which
will then probably be adopted by the
states. A bushel . pf beans will not then
weigh flfty-slx pounds In Massachusetts,
Which Is the case today, and thirty-two
pounds of oats la .New York will be re
garded aa of equaj, volume to thirty-two
pounds In some c,f the western states,
where the standard bushel today must
contain thirty-three or thlrty-ftve pounds.

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, May l.-(Speclal.)-The State
Board of Equalisation will meet to
morrow to pass upon the returns
of property made by the various
railroad companies In the state to
determine the valuation for Assessment
purposes. The meeting will in all proba
bility be a long drawn out affair and will
be a regular tug of war from the start.
The board haa Invited every one who has
any argument to offer to show that rail
roads are not assessed In accordance with
other property or nny one who thinks they
are payfhg tod much taxes to come forward,
and present the same.
While th returns are certainly the most
complete ever made and Include all of the
property owned by the various roads, the
board haa authority to go beyond this and
secur all the additional evidence that It
may require In order to determine the
valuation, but It Is not likely that much In
formation will be dug up that has not been
returned by tha roads themselves. Sev
eral days ago a request wss made for
some one to give a plan for rinding the
value of a franchise and a plan to assess
It
The first question the board will deter
mine will be whether to assess the lines of
the various systems In the state a a unit
or separately as has been the custom. This
has to be determined, each year and follow
ing precedent it Is safe to predict that the
roads will be assessed separately again
this year.
The two new members of the board, Land
Commissioner Follmer and Secretary of
State Marsh, havo never before had experi
ence on the State bonrd and rnay have
some new Ideas to advance, but so far
the,
Ing r
members have any notion of changing from
the old way. So far no cltlsens have noti
fied the board that they Intend to present
aigument In favor of a higher assessment,
but It Is presumed that before the meeting
is concluded some at least will come for
ward. There seems to be little doubt that the
levy this year for state purposes will be
greatly reduced, because of the greatly
Increased returns on all property now
being niado to the county assessors. Both
the merchants and the farmers, so the re
ports received by Secretarf Bennett Indi
cate, are turning In every dollars worth
of property they have, which will so 'In
crease tha valuation that a small levy
will be necessary. With the smaller levy
this will mean that th person who ha
been returning all his property heretofore
will have his taxes reduced.
Oatherlagr Labor Statistics.
The gensrous respond from all over
the state to th request from th Depart
ment .of Labor for statistics to be . In
cluded In the annual bulletin to be Issued

Wreeta May glv Mystery.
PLATTSMOlTTIt. Neh . Maw 1 iHneHal t
Four years ago a young Vnsn named
Herman Englemeler disappeared from bis
home In Germany. Much mystery was
attached to the case, aa.only a short time
before announcement had been made of
hla approaching marriage to the daughter
of a wealthy merchant. Several theorle
were advanced at the time as to the cause
of Ills sudden disappearance, one being
that he sought to eecape the military du
ties Imposed upon all able-bodied young
men by the Oerman government. An
other theory hinted at foul play. The
young man has relatives In Csss county
and at the time of hla disappearance they
were advised of the fact and requeated by
the relative in the old country to report
to them should any trace of the missing
man be found. A few days ago a news-
psper account of a railroad accident In
Chicago contained the name of Henry
Englemeler among th list of seriously
Injured and this, together with other state
ments made by the Injured man In the
presence of the hoepltal physician, has
caused the young man' relatives tn this
county to believe that they hav found
a valuable clue which may solve the mys
tery. Letters have been - forwarded to
Englemeler, addressed In the care of the
Chicago hospital authorities.
