been completed adjournment could be ar
ranged in ten minutes Mr Hickey gave
notice of debate, which put the question
o\ er until to-morrow
The house continued the debate on Mr
Alley's amendment to the constitutional
amendment proposed by the house com
mittee on judiciary oegun yesterday The
speakers confined themselves to the ques
tion as to whether the constitution should
definitely fix all matters relating to taxa
tion, or whether the way should be left
open for the legislature so that it might
meet emergencies as they arose The
committee's bill favored a gross earnings
tax on franchises, while Mr Alley's
amendment provides simply that all taxes
shall be uniform and shall be levied and
collected under general laws The debate
hinged upon the gross earnings tax
proposition J A Peterson favored the
"open policy," that is of giving the legis
lature some siscietion in tax legislation,
instead of fixing all matters irrevocably
by the constitution He called upon all
those who had opposed tax legislation
during the present session to come out in
the open and pass some sort of a bill
which would be honest and just to all
parties
Mr Anderson spoke at length in favor
of the committee's bill He declared that
the Alley amendment might result in the
practical confiscation of the property of
corporations As a matter of fact, they
had as much right in the state as any one
else He denied emphatically that the op
position to the tax code had come from
the corporations At least none of them
had approached him regarding tax mat
ters, and his position on the tax code was
from as honest motives as those who
favored it

which Governor Robert La Follette and
Mayor David S Rose voiced the official
welcome and the united singing societies
raised their voices in a mighty chorus
There was also a splendid illumination
and a thrilling night run of the Milwau
kee fire department Later there was a
banquet at which the prince met many of
the leading citizens of the city and state
The special train bearing the prince and
his party was awaited by an enormous
crowd at the station There was a cheer
when the prince appeared and another,
louder than the first, when he Teached his
carriage outside the station grounds
Mayor Rose and- Admiral Evans en
tered his carriage and, flanked by police
and guarded by troopers of the First
Wisconsin cavalry, the drive through the
city began
Just outside of the station 1,000 veter
ans of the German wars were drawn up.
They had come here from Green Bay,
Stevens Point, Port Washington, Apple
ton, Plymouth Fond du Lac, Racine and
other distant points in the state and they
gave the prince a volley of cheers- as he
passed them
Prince Henry was given the honor of
riding in the first carriage to roll across
the new Grand avenue-Wisconsin street
bridge, and as the point was reached Bat
tery A, stationed on the lake front, fired
a salute of twenty-one guns
The reception of the prince as he drove
through the Btreets was wildly enthusi
astic and there was an ovation when he
entered the Exposition building for the
public reception As he appeared on the
stage, escorted by his staff and the re
ception committee, the mass chorus of
600 voices sang "Das Deutsche Lied "
There were 10,000 persons packed in
the Exposition building and it was long
before they were sufi&ciently stilled for
Mao Rose to formally welcome the
prince
The mayor gave way to former Con
gressman P. V Deuster. who Bpoke in be
half of the German residents and in their
tongue
Governor La Follette then welcomed the
prince to Milwaukee in behalf of the state
and expressed regret at the shortness of
his visit
Captain Emil Court, who also spoke 4n
German, was the last speaker
The great chorus sang again, and as
the prince arose to leave the hall, the
ciowd broke into wild cheers He
touched his cap in salute and smiled as he
turned to leave the stage
The fire run followed the public recep-'
tlon and made a spectacle that was both
novel and exciting Thirty-two pieces
of apparatus were raced for a mile at high
speed
The prince was then driven through
Illuminated streets to the Hotel Pfister,
where the banquet was Berved The
Illumination was beautiful, hundreds of
strings of electric lights were arched
across Grand avenue, and Wisconsin
street, hundreds of buildings were out
lined in light, and high up on the tower
of the city hall, printed in Incandescent
lights, were the words, "Welcome to
H R H Prince Henry" Especially
beautiful was the lighting of the court
of honor on Grand avenue
When the prince was driven through
the court of honor, the chimes in the
tower of St James Episcopal church
played the national airs of the United
States and Germany and Luther's hymn
The banquet at the Hotel Pfister lasted
about two hours The decorations of the
banquet hall were very elaborate
Three toasts wo proposed, those to
the President of United States and
the Emperor of G i luiny being drunk
while the orchestra played national alrsf
of the respective countries These were
followed by the toast, "Prince Henry of
Prussia," to which the prince responded.
selfishness, she is said to have aimed not
at society at large, but a t one woman
That is Mrs Richard Yates, wife of the
governor.
After the prince had leceived the for
eign consuls Mrs. Harrison Immediately
demanded his attention For some time
she kept him tete-a-tete Then Mrs
Heaton Owsley, who sat In the hox with
her, touched her on the arm
'I have not been presented to the
prince," she said
Mrs Harrison htsitated a moment,
glanced at the door, where several women
were congregated with their escorts,
waiting to be admitted, and introduced
tie mayor's sister to his highness
( Some moments later an intrusion by
"outsiders," among them was Mrs Yates,
again seemed lmirineut Mrs Harrison
beckoned to her brother-in-law, Preston
Hairison, and he came to her side and
was presented The three, with the
mayor, then formed a. cordon around the
prince, and for forty minutes succeeded
in keeping him isolated There was a
constant throng surging by the box, hop
ing against hope that the mayor would
thaw
When one party, irore daring, perhaps,
than the others, would pause near the
door, Mr. Harrison would move closer to
his highness and engage his attention
on some point in a distant part of the
hall He was in supreme command of the
situation for the time Men who had
contributed muoh to the success of the
entertainment of the royal guest might
bring then daughter or wives to tho
box in vain Like Tantalus, they could
almost touch the coveted prize, vet suffe
disappointment Ruse after ruse was
tried to no purpose. If one dared to ask
for a presentation to Mrs Harrison, the
mayor would reply
' She is engaged in conversation with
the prince As soon as she is disengaged
I shall be delighted to have you meet
her
He would then turn his back on the
intruder, leaving him to go about his
business as ihe saw fit Finally his
royal highness broke away and went
straight to the box occupied by Mrs
Yates Mrs Harrison s enemies say her
face showed her disappointment, but tihat
she was seen to smile again that night

Chicago, March 6 An embarrassing in
cident marked the presentation of the
Minnesota address to Prince Henry. While
the prince was out on his early morning
ride Governor Van Sant waited in the par
lors of the hotel The staff waited in the
rooms upstairs The prince returned
about 10 80 o clock and went immediately
to his room In a few moments he an
nounced that he was ready to receive
Governor Van Sant Chairman Eddy of
the committee of arrangements hurried
down stairs to find the governor t He
found him on the parlor floor, awaiting
patiently Meanwhile the prince waited
up stairs
"The prince ia ready for you, govern-
or," said Chairman Eddy
"Glad to hear it When is he coming
down' ' said the governor
"He is waiting to receive you upstairs
Don t delay him," said Chairman Eddy
I have eent for my staff They are on
the way down," replied the governor
The prince waited In his doorway up
stairs The staff failed to appear on the
iparlor floor Governor Van Sant did not
worry He talked with Governor Yates
as he waited Chairman Eddy fidgeted
Governor Yates smiled sympathetically
"The prince has little time to waste,"
said Chairman Eddy
"Oh, I won't say much," answered the
governor, nonchalantly
"Are you going to make a speech?" ask
ed the chairman, in alarm
"Do you think I am going to hand a
greeting and say nothing'" inquired the
governor "I'm not long-winded I'm
not an orator I will say only a few
words "
The prince waited upstairs.
"We can't wait longer You must come
up and deliver your greetings now," said
the chairman, taking the governor by the
arm. But the governor stuck to his col
onels
"My staff is not here yet They are on
the way down "
"I don't care a d for your staff "
eaid Chairman Eddy, hotly. "Come along
now or we will omit this event alto
gather. We have passed up other people
as god as you " The governor's cool
demeanor was slightly ruffled
"These gentlemen are the most promi
nent in Minnesota and they have come
400 miles to carry this greeting to the
prince Besides, you promised us this op
portunity," he said
"You have the opportunity. Take it or
leave it," persisted the chairman.
Governor Van Sant looked anxiously
toward the elevator shaft for the staff to
appear, but there was not a glimmer of
gold braid to be seen. Chairman Eddy
stood on one foot and considered At that
juncture Dr Wever, the German consul
came hurrying down the stairway '
"The prince is waiting, gentlemen.
Please hurry," he pleaded
"My staff is not here yet I have sent
for them Can the prince meet us here'"
asked the governor
"I will explain to the prince," said the
consul, in evident embarrassment
At this juncture a resplendent stanM
colonel from Minnesota came burryin*
down the stairs He had been detailed to
find the governor
"Your staff is waiting you outside the
apartments of the prince, governor " said
he '

Harriman Syndicate Thought
to Have Gathered
It In.
Revolution of Pretender to
Throne Ends Quickly and
Disastrously.
Belgrade, Servia, March 5 An extra
ordinary attempt to start a revolution
was made this morning at the frontier
town of Shabats, by a raid under the
leadership of Alavantics, a relative of
Prince Karageorevitch, the pretender to
the Servian throne
The only result was that he was killed
and his adherents were arrested
Alavantics, with a handful ot followers,
arrived at Shabats from Mitrowlcz, wear
ing the uniform of a general in the Serv
ian army and called to the frontier guard
to follow him The latter, not suspecting
that anything was wrong, accompanied
the supposed general to the town hall,
where Alavantics ordered the men of the
fire department to join him. This motley
procession proceeded to the gendarmerie
barracks, where Alavantics paraded the
gendarmes Two of the latter, whose
suspicions Were aroused, escaped and ap
prised their commander, Captain Niko
lics
The latter called on Alavantics to
produce some document as authority for
hia actions, whereupon the would-be
revolutionist leader fired at Captain Niko
lics and slightly wounded him. Nikolics
promptly shot and killed Alavantics,
whose followers were then arrested.

Special to The Journal
New York, March 5 There seems to be
a disposition among financial interests
identified with the Northern Securities to
hold the Canadian Pacific railway respon
sible for a considerable measure of the
legal opposition shown the merger. This
does not mean that the Canadian Pacific
is taking any formal action, but rather
that legal talent friendly to that railroad
is active in discovering and emphasizing
points against the merger, which others
may readily adopt as their own
In line with this idea they look upon
the proposed formation of the Northern
Securities company of Canada as being in
some indefinite way a, creature of th
Canadian Pacific.

New York, March 5 Railroad officials
whose headquarters are in Omaha are
confident that the Harriman syndicate
has succeeded in corrahng the Chicago

obtained copies of the right of way and

All Day
Sunday
She Thought About
a Food that would
Agree with Her.
An unnatural appetite for rich
and improper food is really kept
alive by the use of such foods,
whereas a change to healthful,
nourishing and scientifically made
food, will correct the unnatural ap
petite A little woman up at
Peekskill, N Y , Margaret Smith,
J = ^ P O. Box 193. says.
"I was such a sufferer from dyspepsia that life was a burden I could hardly
keep from eating all sorts of pastry, cakes and other rich foods, although they
did not agree with me, nor in fact did any sort of food I became low spirited
and discouraged, was too weak to work and very seriously troubled with palpitation
of the heart
"Drugs seemed to make me worse rather than better A friend said one daj -
"I believe Grape-Nuts food would cure you.* explaining that that food was made with
great care and intended for the prevention and relief of diseases that were brought
about by improper food *
"That was Saturday night, and all day Sunday I kept thinking about Grape-
Nuts, and the first thing Monday morning I sent for a package I had it in my
mind that the food would look like nuts, and was disappointed when I found it had
to be eaten with a spoon However, I followed the directions and made a meal of
Grape-Nuts and milk, which I found to be delicious, and for the first time in months
I suffered no distress after eating
"I at once began to feel hopeful that I might b e cured at last. Since that day I
have used Grape-Nuts constantly, morning and night, and have steadily improved in
health, until now I am as well as I ever was in my life, weigh 10 pounds more
than I did a year ago, have no palpitation of the heart and can work all day long
"At supper I have Grape-Nuts mixed with soft-boiled eggs I make my dinner
on any kind of food I desire. One of the best things about this cure by proper food'13
"that I no longer have any desire for the rich, Indigestible rubbish of which I used to
be so fond."
