At the depot the admiral was greet ed by a delegation from the city coun cil and a company of naval veterans of the civil war. Alderman Frank Fowler, on behalf of the city council, presented the following resolutions: Whereas, We recognize in Admiral Schley’s achievements, his character and his bearing one of the foremost naval heroes of all time, whose splen did record at Santiago will forever be ' the pride and inspiration of grateful countrymen; therefore, be it Resolved, by the city council cf fae cit yof Chicago, That the city of Chi cago, through its municipal council and mayor, takes pleasure in making publi cacknowledgement of the distin guished service rendered by Admiral Schley to his country and extends to him a heartfelt welcome. At 11 a. m. the admiral was- given a breakfast by the reception committee of the Hamilton Club and enjoyed him self in an informal manner, at the Woman’s Club. At the conclusion of the breakfast a delegation from the Cook county board of commissioners waited upon the ad miral and Commissioner Hoffman pre sented resolutions declaring that “There has been yet no adequate re ward nor official recognition of the merits of some of the officers who took part in the war with Spain, whose he roism and fidelity were most conspic uous, of whom may be especially enu merated Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, Captain F. A. Cook, of Admiral Schley’s flag ship Brooklyn, and Cap tain Charles E. Clark, of the famous battle ship Oregon. Therefore be it Resolved, That we consider it but simple justice to these gallant officials and men that their distinguished ser vice should be properly rewarded with out further delay, and we do hereby respectfully request the authorities of the United States government to adept with all due haste such, meas ures for this purpose as may be most becoming. The banquet began at 6:45 o'clock Saturday night. Schley's Speech at Banquet. Admiral Schley arose amid applause ami said: “Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Hamilton Club: What I desire particularly is ...to thank you most sinceiely for the welcome that you have accorded to me. The glad tri bute vi hick I met on arrival at your depot and in passing through your streets was such a tribute of confi dence and esteem that it has touch ed my heart most sincerely. (Ap plause.) If in my long career of for ty-five years have done^anything that is worthy of your approval, then my satisfaction is complete. (Applause.) “I desire to say most emphatically that I have no desire to be other than a sailor. I have no aspiration for any civil office, however high it may be. (Applause). “My one ambition has been to serve you faithfully, loyally, devotedly (ap plause), and if I have succeeded in doing that, the measure of my ambi tion is full, and my only other ambi tion is that I may retain for the rest of the years that may be vouchsafed for me your love, your esteem and your respect. (Cheers.) “I would not care to jeopardize that by seeking or accepting any office where I should be condemned to fol low always; rather to remain in the one profession that I have chosen, where there are occasionally oppor tunities to lead. (Applause.) That I want to say to you all from the bot tom of my heart and with absolute earnestness of meaning. Gentlemen, I thank you.” DEFICIENCY BILL PASSED. Republicans Forced Record Vote on Item For Protection of Soldiers. The house Friday passed the urgent deficiency appropriation bill and de voted the remainder of the session to private pension legislation, It then adjourned untii Monday. The repub licans forced a record vote on the amendment to appropriate $500,000 fe. the protection and shelter of American soldiers in the Philippines, PRINCE OF WALES SNUBBED. In Great City cf Berlin Not a Hat Was Lifted or a Cheer Given to King Edward’s Representative. A special front Berlin, Germany, snys: Sunday passed without any dis respect being shown to the prince of V. ales, who arrived Saturday evening to represent King Edward at the cele bration of the anniversary of the birth cf Emperor William next Sunday. German crowds have a too deeply abiding respect for royal personages and are too thoroughly impressed to ever jeer them. Put in a city where the lifting of one’s hat is universal as ordinary civility it was singular to see the passing crowds with never a hat raised, and to hear no murmurs of applause. The last experience abroad of the prince of Wales was his departure amid thunderous cheers from the shores of Newfoundland, while the streets through which the prince was obliged to be driven on this occasion cn his way to visit the British ambas sador was without one single British flag. While receiving the most elaborate attentions from the family of Emper or William and German officials, the prince of Wales must feel the chilling attitude of the German public. Almost all the newspapers refrain from edi torial comment on his visit. The National Zeitung concludes a page editorial on the friendship be tween the United States and Germany with these words: “The only object of the visit of Prince Henry to the United States is the cultivation of this sentiment. The German emperor could give the Uni ted States no better proof of the feel ings and sentiments animating him and the German people in regard to the greatness and development of the union as a progressive power than in sending his brother there. The prince is the first German prince of the old regime to tread the soil cf the great republic and undoubtedly his acquaint anceship with the most prominent men of the union will have a beneficial ef fect upon national relations. “The visit of Prince Henry must dis sipate all foolish and malicious asso ciations of political antagonism be tween Germany and the United States, and of German plans of conquest in the American sphere of influence and will thereby strengthen and establish feelings of mutual rocognition and equality of standing. No treaty or al liance between Germany and the Uni ted States is needed. Ever since the existence of the United States, peace, friendship and trade intercourse have prevailed between us. Prince Henry’s trip shows that we wish to remain in the same relations in the future, and the reception which the people, the government and public opinion are preparing for him on American soil will give splendid proof that the Amer icans cherish similar sentiments and hopes.” DR. CRAWFORD PASSES AWAY. For Over Twenty Years He Was Sec retary of State of Florida. Dr. John L. Crawford, secretary of state of Florida since 1881, died in Tallahassee Friday, the fourth person to die in the past twelve months con nected with the state goveernment. He was born at Covington, Ga., in April, 1816, and moved to Florida in 1845. He was elected to the Florida house c? representatives in 1847, serving one term, after which he entered the sen ate, which body he left to become sec retary of state. He descended from a prominent Georgia family whose power and influence for good was fel? in the councils of state and nation, and such was the record of the deceased in Florida. Late Saturday night Governor Jen nings appointed H. Clay Crawford, the son of the dead secretary, who was as sistant secretary of state for twelve years, to succeed his father. Chinese Find Hidden Treasure. Chinese officials at Pekin have found treasure to the value of over 100 , 000,000 taels in gold and silver, which was buried in the women’s quar ters of the palace before the court fled from Pekin. CHURCHES OBSERVE DAY. Collections For McKinley Memorial Fund Universal and Satisfactory. Reports to the secretary’s office of the McKinley National Memorial Asso ciation, at Cleveland, O., indicate the almost universal observance of Mc Kinley Sunday in the 188,000 churches in the country, and that the contribu tions were highly gratifying. “McKinley Day” on Wednesday is expected to swell the contributions to such an extent that the national me morial at Canton will be practically completed. FOR MURDER OF HUSBAND. Mrs. Richardson Faces Jury of Farm ers In Missouri Court. Mrs. Addie L. Richardson faced a jury of farmers in the circuit court at Plattsburg, Mo., Tuesday and her trial on the charge of murdering, a year ago last December, her husband, Frank W. Richardson, a merchant, at their horns in Savannah, Mo., bei-au in earnest. TAFT IS OPTIMISTIC Retiring Governor of Philippines Says War Is Ebbing. ONLY TWO PROVINCES AT WAR Batangas and Samar Continue Rebel lious—Sentiment Is Changing and Outlook Is More Promising. Governor General Taft, who arriv ed at San Francisco from Manila Mon day night, landed Tuesday afternoon, Discussing conditions in the Philip pines, Governor Taft said: “I wish the press would correct the impression that there is war on all the islands. The insurrection is confined to two localities—the province of Ba tangas and the island of Samar. This morning I received a most encourag ing cablegram from General Wright, who is the acting governor in my ab sence. It said that owing to General Bell’s strong repressive measures the trouble iii Batangas was being quiet ed. He further said that 700 rifles had been surrendered, and as there are only 1,100 to 1,200 rifles in the province, there is no doubt that Ba tangas will be as peaceul as any of the other provinces. “I do not think General Bell will have need to apply the reconcentrado principle to Batangas, as his dispatch plainly indicates that the province is in a fair way of pacification. “The dispatch says that there are S43 teachers in the islands in 450 places, and 200 of these places are un occupied by United States troops. I may say that the Filipino is not hos tile to the teacher. One was captur ed some time ago, but he was sent back in a hammock. The inference is plain that they entertain no hos tility toward pedagogues or pedagogy. Civil Government a Success. “I wish to impress upon everybody that civil government is a success. There is a strong peace party in the islands, and it is composed of the most influential men among the Fili pinos. They are working earnestly and zealously toward bringing about happy relations between their coun trymen and the government. They are using all that is in their power to bring in the recalcitrant leaders. I have never been so encouraged as to the prospects of the Philippines as I have within the past three months. There has certainly been a great change in the sentiment of the people They are beginning to appreciate the fact that civil government means bet ter times for them. If you had seen the farewell recep tions that were given me by the peo pie on my leaving the Islands, you would have realized that there was sincerity in the expression of the wish for civil government to continue. Before I left I received reports from the governors of the different prov inces, and the tone of each report was most encouraging. “I am encouraged and I shall so re port to Washington. There are thir ty-five provinces capable of govern ment. The only place where there is trouble is in the island of Samar. That is the most difficult island for military operations.

Mrs. Beula Abbey, wife of a young merchant near Sparta, Tenn., is dead as the result of pulling out one of her eyes in a fanatical and literal interpre tation of scriptural injunction, “If thine eye offend, pluck it out and cast j it from thee, for it is better to go into I heaven having only one eye than to suffer the torments of hell fire.” She became much excited over relig ion last autumn and since that time, j it is said, has been noted for strange vagaries in religious work.
