PRESIDENT LAST Dewey Took Offense But Ahe Prince Apologized For the Mistake WASHINGTON, Feb.

15. The Associated Press today received from authentic sources a statement regarding the report that Prince Henry had written a letter of apology to Admiral Dewey. The information which follows was not received from Admiral Dewey himself, but from an intimate friend of his, and can be absolutely vouched for. The Admiral has recently received a letter from a member of the U. S.

Embassy at Berlin in which the writer gave a resume of an interview with Prince Henry of Prussia at the given the latter by Embassador White prior to the Prince's departure for America. 'In this conversation the Prince, referring to his having hoped to return from the East via San Francisco after his services in the China squadron, but having been obliged to hasten home via Suez on account of his mother's illness, in his usual candid manner and agreeing with a remark that the present was a much more opportune time for his visit, said: "I know you Americans feel very sore about affairs in the lEast and I do not blame you. myself, made a mistake which I see is now being exploited by the English press to create a prejudice. When at Hbn'g" Kong, at a dinner on the Deutschland (the Prince's flagship nr the East) Dewey was present and was the senior officer. There were two Russians, some English and officers of other nationalities which I cannot recall, when i proposed the health of, first, the Czar of 'Russia, then others, and, last of all, that of the President of the United States.

"Dewey was offended, as I learned the next day, and I realized I had made a great mistake. I immediately went on board the Olympia 'and saw Dewey, who accepted my apology most graciously." The Prince added that he was well aware that mistakes had been made on their part, but that his relations with Admiral Dewey had always been of the most agreeable and pleasant character. He sent his highest regards to the Admiral and expressed his sincere hope of seeing him during his visit to America. HENRY TOASTED LONDON, Feb. over the attitude wards the United Spanish-American 15.

The dispute of the powers to-States prior to the war continues to take up the columns of the London dailies. Opinion is much divided as to the wisdom of Lord Cranborne's course in making his first statement on the subject in the House of Commons, and, since the later developments, the opposition to further disclosures by the British government has been strengthened into a determined protest against the revealment of secret documents relating to the negotiations of that period. Lord Cranborne's statement of Fri PAY TAXES. Showing Made at Meeting of Suffragists in Washington 15 Interest in the National Woman Suffrage Association meeting today was heightened by the fact that it marked the birthday of Susan B. Anthony.

She was the ledpient of many congratulations. Many lloral tributes also were received by her. Mrs. Boyer of Philadelphia presented a plan of work for the comhig year. That part of it relating to taxation without representation caused considerable discussion which developed the fact that in paying the taxes a number of the delegates insert in the tax certificates the words: "Paid under protest." A suggestion by the president that all present who were taxpayers should rise, brought to their feet over 200 women.

Other recommendations by the committee were to appoint a special committee to double the membership; that clubs eek women as local organizers and such are found invite them to assist; that a column be published in the Woman's Journal, that systematic be done to increase the circulation of suf-lrage; that presidential suffrage urged and that there be a woman sull'rage stamp, similar to that used an France; that prizes be offered foT the best es-saya on woman suffrage, and "mat we continue our plea for a sixteenth amendment respecting woman suffrage." The committee also recommended that a State historian be appointed to keep records of all information concerning woman suffrage; that it be recommended that each local suffrage association establish a circulating library of suffrage books. FhV-se resolutions were adopted unan imously. The executive committee ottered a rec ommendation which was adopted, declar ing tjiat States not reguLarly organized alongsrpresentation lines or not holding annual nsings or elections be regarded as unorganized and open tield for nation al organizers.

Pardee, G. B. Daniels, H. P. Dalton and others was to have been itaken this morning before notary Sarah B.

Steele In the office of Attorney W. Lair Hill, but was continued until Monday, owing to ah informality In the subpoena, which prevented Mr. Collins from putting in an appearance. In remaining away, Mr. Collins acted under the advice of his attorney, J.

B. Richardson, although the latter took occasion to state that Mr. Collins had expressed his purpose of being present when advised to the contrary by his attorneys. Mr. Collins was represented solely by Attorney Richardson, his other attorney, Mr.

Ach of San Francisco, being absent. The defendants were represented by Attorneys Snook Church. Miss Steele was present in her official capacity as notary, The proceedings consumed only a few minutes and, just as they came to a close, G. B. Daniels, manager of the Enquirer and one of the defendants, made' his appearance, Mr.

Richardson said that the plaintiff desired to except to the process served upon him and to explain why he did not put in an appearance. The attorney presumed that no further notice had been given the plaintiff than that of the 31st of January. The last subpoena had been Issued on an affidavit which had no validity and was not such as would compel the attendance of the witness, and. although Mr. Collins had mp.de arrangements to attend and give 'his testimony, at the same time, under the advice of counsel, he had decided to remain away.

The last subpoena bore date of the 24th of February and the plaintiff to appear on the loth, wheh, of Irregular. Upon examining the subpoena, it was discovered that the date of the same was the 14th, or that of yesterday, Instead of the 21th, the figure 1 being somewhat indistinct. That, however, gave only one day's notice, when the statute requires a notice of five days. Mr. Richardson said he desired to make this explanation for the purpose of showing that Mr.

Collins failure to appear was not caused by any disrespect for the notary In her" official capacity. The other notice, had. been dated January 30. The speaker had received the papers the following day. They called for a session on February 4 th.

When the speaker saw -the date on which the deposition was to be taken he knew Mr. Collins had to go soijth, and the speaker said that he had gone and seen Attorney Lair Hill, who represented the defendant, and asked that there might be a change made in the date for the deposition. Mr. Hill had stated that the date could not be changed. It would be impossible to make the change.

There was no earlier day that the deposition could be taken on. He did not want to have the plaintiff considered derelict without the service of new papers. "I think," said Mr. Snx5k, "that the notary has power to continue the hearing from day to day. There was no denial of this proposition.

"You say," continued Mr. Snook, "that Mr. Collins was anxious to appear?" "Yes," replied Mr. Richardson, "and he had made arrangements for that purpose when advised to the contrary by his at-' torneys." "We will ask the notary," said Mr. Snook, "to make a certificate of the facts to the Superior Court." iMr.

Richardson then left the room, and Miss Steele took occasion to say that the attorney had not stated the facts of the case as she understood them between Mr. Richardson and Hill in the matter of securing another day for the taking of the deposition. At Mr. Church's suggestion Mr. Rich- ardson was recalled to the office, whereupon Miss Steele said that he (Richardson) had left the impression that Mr.

Hill had said that there could be no change in the day for the taking of the deposition under the first subpoena. The contrary was the case. Mr. Richardson, she said, had come into Mr. Hill's office while she (Miss Steele) was present, and had told Mr.

Hill that Mr. Collins was going away and; asked if another date could not be set for the deposition. She remembered distinctly that Mr. Hill had said that the deposition could be taken on an earlier day than that named in the subpoena, and that later Mr. Hill had dictated to her what offer he had made.

Oakland, CaL dom of San Franc Loco's clubdom. He likes to bi the best-groomed man in town. He likes to be able to get good shooting without far for it. And he doesn't like to bo forced to keep up with all the little fal-lals which New York society demands. So be lives most of the time here looking after his wife's interests while she clings' to her triumphs in New York and Newoort.

But the two get along very well together, and all the gossip about squabbles is the veriest rot. Many people have a notion that Oelrichs was a very rich as well as a very prominent man when he married Tessie Fair. That is not so. He had been making about $60,000 a year out of his agency for the North German Llyod, but he spent it all like the bon vivant that he i3. So though he was widely popular in New York, he was practically poor.

Then after Senator fairs, of his wife. So nobody need think he is yearning for a divorce. So with all this malignant chatter about the affairs of the couple, it was no wonder that Mrs. Oelriijs was well-nigh stared out of countenance at the ball. She was equal to the occasion and worth the while.

The women had to admit that she "stood out alone" evep apart from her dis play of jewelry. And now, as if they hadn't already said enough mean things about her, they have started the yarn that he quarreled with her sister, Mrs. Vanderbilt, when tire two were recently on the Rivera. It was Mrs. Major Darling who sent out that report in letters.

Mrs. Darling always did have a sharp tongue and an eager sense of the value of sensations. She should have been a reporter. 8 Since Guy B. Barham negotiated the purchase of the Evening Post, a lot C)f people have been asking who he is and they are finding him a personal ity quite well worth the knowing.

He will not tell who he bought the paper for, but he could have paid for it himself if he had wanted to, and his snug little fortune has been made for the most part through his own ability. As it he took in a fee of $25,000 for his services in the transaction part in money and part in stock in the pa per. Barnhanv started out poor. 'When Asa Ellis was Collector of Internal Revenue, Barham got a deputyship under him. Then he married the Collector's daughter.

When she died she left him a little fortune in property, which he has cared for and nurtured for his daughter. In that property are 80 acres of land in East Los Angeles, and it is coming to be part of the city. Twenty years from now it 'will probably have a fabulous value. Barham has kept this intact; and never once permitted it to get mixed up in his transactions. It now has a value of But entirely apart from this, Barham has made money by his own shrewdness.

He utilized the knowledge he gained in the Internal Revenue office to start in business as a broker for the southern wine and brandy men. He has got so he handles the bulk of the sweet -wine corp of the south, and a great quantity of the brandy. He makes money for his clients, and they are glad to pay him fat fees. And every now and again he turns some trick like the purchase of the Post, which fattens his bank account. In Los Angeles he has the reputation of getting all the good things of life which are to be had for the seeking, but with all his folly he keeps a steady eye on business.

He tells a good story, is devoted to dress, and has won his way ampng bright men and good fellows by his many little kindnesses. Though he declares he is not going to stay in San Francisco, he is likely to" be a potent factor in Post management. Tom Garrett, city editor of the Examiner, will be in control on the Post. He is a man of tireless 'energy and wide newspaper experience, and under him the competition in the field of evening journalism is likely to be as lively as that among the big morning dallies. Louis Honig, lately of the Call, will have charge of the Post's sporting department, and it is intended to make that department a special feature.

Another lively news hustler, who has already been engaged for the Post's staff, is Sam Horton. It was thought everything was fixed to make him bailiff of the Supreme Court, but evidently something has gone wrong among the solemn justices, who have the appointing. However, the way things are starting it is apparent that the new proprietors of the paper Intend jnaking things lively. 8 People have been wondering whether the change In the Post will mean the introduction of the cent-piece in San Francisco. In Los Angeles the paper, which Garrett built up into prominence, was a penny paper, and the little copper coin is now in full and free use in the big city of the south.

The large stores have tried in vain to work it into San Francisco. The evening papers, notably the Report, have tried it and failed. And there seems no present disposition on the part of the Post people to try the experiment. But should competition get very sharp some such shift is apt to be made, and San Francisco may lose its unique distinction of being the only city in the country where gold and silver are the sole medium of exchange and where the cent-piece cannot gain a foothold. Time was when we struggled heroically the introduction of the nickel! and time must sometime come when the penny will claim us for its own.

From the descriptions given of the man in San Francisco, the police have no doubt that the Bennett the San Francisco police are after was in Salt Lake up to two years ago and is now at work on a St.
