NEW YOHK. Nov. 13. Prince Louis of
Hattenberg passed today In a fashion that .
would have tested the stamina of a po'ltl! j
candidate engaged in a campaign of the
whirlwind order, and stood the strain with
a fortitude worthy of a British admiral.
He began the round of entertainments with
a reception at the Chamber of Commerce,
where he was greeted by a representative
gathering of captains of commerce and
finance. After a brief breathing spell he
was whirled down to Coney Island, where
he and the officers of his fleet, with Admiral
Evans and other representatives of the
American navy, attended a great banquet
given by the bluejackets of the American
warships to their Britannic cousins. From
the banquet a special train bore the prince
and his suite back to New York In time to
appear at the horse show, where his en
trance wss the signal for a tumultuous
welcome from a great assemblage, repre
sentative of fashion and wealth, not only
of the metropolis, but of all the principal
cities of the union.
Gambol at Lambs' C lob.
From the horse show the prince pro
ceded to the Lambs' club, where ho was
( the central figure of a gambol attended by
the most prominent Lambs of the Vnlied
States, which was continued until the small
hours.
Prince Iiuls arrived at the horse show
Just before 10 o'clock. H was accompanied
by the officers of his staff. Rear Admiral
Evans, Major General Wade and the
women of the party. The prince was
greeted at the garden by the officers of the
horse show association, including Presi
dent Cornellua Fellowes. Miss Alice Roose- I
velt was present as- the guest of Colonel !
and Mrs. Robert M. Thompson. Hundreds
of officers of Prince Louts' squadron also
visited the show, mingling In the throng
on the promenade.

"Blood Is thicker than water."
Written on the frontispiece of the menu
cards this famous saying of the American
naval officer, Tattnall, never found more
Impressive expression than it did tonight
at the dinner on the Bowery at Coney

squadron of tho United States North Al-
lantio fleet gave to the enlisted men of

balcony and gaicd upon the impressive
scene. Every satlorman waa on his feet
twirling his cap aloft and, led by a quar
termaster at tha end of the hall, the
mighty company cheered as only British
and American satlora can cheer clean cut,
all together and far-reaching, until the
sounds echoed across the seas that beat
on Coney'a shore. Another Inspiring scene
occurred when, after eating a hearty din
ner, exactly the same as that to which
the sailors sat down, the two admirals
walked down the center of the pavilion
amid solid ranks of the cheering blue
Jackets. This ovation which Admiral
Prlnre Louis and Admiral Evans received
at parting touched them deeply. The
prince had an engagement at the horse
show and was compelled to leave the ban-
i quet early. Aa he did ao he stopped to
the committees on arrangement and re
ception, had supreme charge of the prepa
rationa for the dinner. The prince then
shook hands with each of the "side boys"
who were lined at the entrance to pipe the
two admirals "over the side."
"Tou have given me and my men a
splendid evening," the prince said aa he
passed between them, "and I thank you
for myself and for them. Blood Is thicker
than water and we are glad to be ashore."
By 10 o'clock the fifteen rounds of beer
which each sailor received had been dis
posed of and the men started out to do
Coney Island. Many of the amusement
places opened up In honor of the visitors.
At midnight the shooting galleries, the
beer gardens and other attractions were
doing a midsummer business and the 2.500
sailors were having the time of their
Uvea.
The boats will come alongside Steeple
chase pier at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning
to take the 'banqueters to their respective
ships.
The dinner tonight was a return courtesy
for the entertainment which the men of
the American squadron received when in
England several years ago. Each of the
guests at the dinner wore a badge show
ing the stars and stripes and the union
Jack crossed underneath a picture of the
flagship Maine.

While the men made merry at Coney

plaudits that cum; from thousands of men

was returned against them by the federal
grand jury In November, 1904, and un ad

acres of public land. Those counts of the
indictments charging the defendants ss be
ing part owners and agents of certain of
the fences described as unlawful were
quashed, but were sustained as to such sec
tions of the fences of which they were
owners, and also the counts which charged
them with wrongfully asserting ownership
and exclusive occupancy of the Illegally
enclosed government lands. The counts
to whlrh they pleaded guilty were numbers
two and three of the first; and numbers

"It Is our Intention to comply with the
law. W'e are removing the fences as
rapidly as we can. but such as may re
main, we have nothing at all to do with.
Wherever the government shows us that
we have an unlawful fence we will remove
It."
I'nited States District Attorney Baxter
said:
"I believe the defendants will do sll they
have said they will do. They appear to he
acting In good faith. If there la any
further dispute as to sny particular fence
that will bo a matter for further action."
Both Bartlett Richards and W. O. Corn
stock were In court when sentence was
passed and made Immediate arrangements
to pay the fine and surrendered themselves
to the custody of t'nlted States Marshal
Mathews for the six hours.
Judge Munger In passing sentence said:
"There Is no moral turpitude connected
with the offense with which the defendants
re charged, the offense being merely a
statutory one."

PITTS Bl'RO. Nov. U -Old city hall wal
crowded today when President Samuel
Gompers called tho American Federation
of Labor to order for the opening of tha
silver anniversary of the organisation. All
the delegates, representing every state In
the union, Canada, England and other for
eign countries, were in their seats and all
available space outside was utilized by vis
itors. The hall wss tastefully and elaborately
decorated and there was no confusion tn
the seating arrangements, which were per
fect. Shortly before 10 o'clock the delegatea as
sembled at tho headquarters In the Colonial
hotel and, headed by a. monster band of
15 pieces, made up of federated musicians
in Pittsburg, marched through the principal
streets to the place of meeting. As Presi
dent Gompers and Second Vice President
John Mitchell entered the hall there was
prolouged -applause. A few minutes later
President Gompers rapped for order and
Introduced C. V. Douglass, chalrmun of the
local entertainment committee, who wel
comed the delegates on behalf of the labor
organizations of the city .
Attorney John Drew, speaking for Mayor
WUllaoi Hayes, welcomed the delegates tfl
rittsburg and Mayor James G. Wyman ex
tended tho hospitalities of the sister city,
Allegheny.
Routine Matters Considered.
Mostly routine matters will b considered
af the session todny. The presentation ol
credentials waa the first matter on tha pro
gram and consumed considerable time.
One of the Interesting fights to be Inau
gurated at this convention Is tho troubls
between the Plumbers' and the Sfeam FfV,
ters' union. It Is ni tho officials of tha
Teamsters' union will make an effort to -unseat
William Spencer, the plumbers' rep
resentative In the excutlve council.
Mr. Gompers wild that the convention
promised to be Important as well as lively.
He would not talk on any Important ques
tions that sre likely to coma up. saying
that they should not be discussed by him
until the meeting is held.
President Gompers is out for re-election
and It Is generally believed that he will be
successful. The majority of tha other Offt
eera are also Candida tea for re-election and
it Is likely. that bo change -will renult with,
the exception of fifth vice 1 president,
Thomas I. Kldd is not a candidate for an
other term. W. D. Mahon, president of tha
Amalgamated Association of Street and
Electrical Railway Employes of Detroit,
Mich., will probably succeed him.
t'nlons.ln A rears.
During the report of the committee on
credentials It developed that a number of
labor unions In different parts of the coun
try had failed to pay the assessment levied
by the American Federation of Labor for
the benefit of the striking New England
textile workers. A warm discussion arose
as to whether the delegates ot unions owtng
the assessment should be seated. Several
motions were made and It waa finally or
dered that the unions owing the assembly
be given representation In the convention
today, but they would be compelled to
make the payment and arrange matters
with the committee on credentials at tha
adjournment, which wss taken at noon
until 2 o'clock this afternoon.
In his annual addref,Mr. Oompera aaid
In part:
The movement of labor as expressed and
typified by our trade unions and by the
American Federation of Labor, IS con
structive, not destructive. In character and
achievements. It aims and works tb build
up character and manhood, and I nit 11 Is a
higher conception of the duty of man to
man. It proclaims aa a cardinal principle,
and acts upon II. that In this world ot ours
man can not live for himself alone, but
that In fact and In truth it la the duty of
man to be his brother's keeper and help
meet. To make man, woman and child
more noble, beautiful and expectant of
brighter and better days to come; to work
on and give their effort to the attainment
of these Ideals, so that today may be better
than the day that has gone before, thst
tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow's to
morrow may each wltneaa C.ie Inaugura
tion of a better day In a word, to con
tinually make life better worth living, la
the work and the mlasion of our ennobling
trade union movement, the American F4k
ration of Labor.
Industrial Stagnation Averted.
When we met in Boston two yeara ago
the old-school political economists and
thinkers foresaw a cloud threatening the
industrial horizon. Basing their premises
upon existing conditions end pursuit 'of
policies of the past, they foretold that an
industrial reuctlon. stagnation, or crista
was then Impending. They assumed that
employers would be "compelled" to re
duce wages, and advised labor to ucept
the situation and thus, as they urged "help
to tide over the unhappy period."
They who reasoned thus reckoned Without
their hosts. They did not consllder the ad
vanced postion which labor would take.
