KING REBUKED BY A LONDON PREACHER SAYS DEFENDER OF THE FAITH SHOULD NOT BREW BEER. London, March 7. A striking scene occurred in the city temple when dur ing the course of a sermon Rev Joseph Parker, a minister, administered i a pointed rebuke to King Edward, jKhch .was loudly applauded by the oongTe gation. Having alluded to public houses as "trap doors of hell," Dr. Par ker referred to the King's recent brew ing of beer while visiting liord Burton. "Pray for me," said the divine, "that I may speak delicately, loyally. If the king brews beer what can be wrone in subject drinking it? The King is likely to be imitated by others. If the king goes to Snday concert, as he did recently, he deals a deadly blow to the Englishman's Sunday. The king cannot attend a non-conformist iplace of worship, tout can go to a Sunday concert." This remark called forth cries of "shame" and Dr. Parker continued: "Uf the king, who is the head of the church and defender of the faith, can violate the English Sunday, what can the people do but follow in his steps? I would rather give a great sum in gold than appear to be disloyal, but I cannot be disloyal to Christ and it is better that these things be said."

All Our Goods Are Baked Fresh for Today's Trade (Saturday) 'iV 126 PRINCE HENRY IN J YORK HIS TRAVELS WILL END WITH VISIT TO PHILADELPHIA MONDAY, His Visit to Albany and the West Point Military Academy Yesterday. WILL GIVE FAREWELL DINNER MONDAY NIGHT TO THE OFFICIALS WHO HAVE AC COMPANIED HIM ON HIS TOUR CASE OF SCiAJEUEiET FEVER ON BOARD THE 'HOHENZOLBRN. Albany, March. 7. It was 8:30 when Prince Henry's special reached the Union depot. The depot grounds were cleared and the police formed a cordon around the car. The mayor and chair man of the reception committee were introduced to the Prince by Ambas sador von Holleben. Governor Odell was late in arriving, through some mis understanding, and the Prince and par ity waited for him. He bade the prince welcome. The prince was then shown to his carriage, and the start made for the city. Broadway was filled with people and as the carriage bearins: the orince emerged from the depot the driveway was resounding with cheers. Stationed at various points along the route were companies of the New York state mili tia. The buildings along the road pre sented a brilliant apperance. being tastefully decorated with American and German colors. Enormous crowds Jined the streets and taxed the patience of both police and national guardsmen in keening them on the sidewalks. Admission to both the city hall and capitol was by card, but poor judgment was exercised in issuing them and in bath places the crush was terriffic and many of those entitled to admission were forced back by the guards. After the reception in the mayor's office the party went to the capitoh Monday evenfag he gives a farewell dinner on the steamship Deutschland to American government, army, navy, and railroad officials who have accompanied him on his recent tour. This will toe his last social function in America, and the visit will end with final farewell salutes from the forts as the Deutsch land goes down the bay Tuesday. During the prince's stay at West Point today .he was treated to the novel spectacle of a winter review, in deep snow, of the cadets. This woe supple mented by a stirring exhibition in the riding academy, another in the gym nasium, and, last of all, a reception, at the house of Colonel Mills, superinten dent of the academy. New York, March 7. With the ex ception of the visit to Philadelphia Monday next the travels of Prince Hen ry in this country are over. He arriv ed here at 5:45 this evening from' Al bany and West Point and with his suite was driven directly to the Wal dorf Astoria, where rooms had been en gaged for him and his party because one of the crew of the Hohenzollern had been stricken with scarlet fever.

Real Estate Agts., ersion of waters that form the bounda ries of the two countries, was reported favorably from the committee on com merce. Mr. Hoar of (Massachusetts urged that the measure ought to be considered by the foreign relations oommittee as it opened a very import ant and very delicate question involv ing, diplomatic procedure. It was re ferred to the committee on foreign re lations. The senate session today was almost entirely devoted to. discussion of the bill to protect the president. The- chip sub sid bill was called up but no one was ready to speak and it was temporarily laid aside. Bacon opposed the bill t protect the president, making a strong argument against the measure, mainly on constitutional grounds. He declared if he were the only man in the house or senate to say "mo" he would never vote for such a measure and asserted that the bill might be made an imple ment of the most terrible oppression. He said the remedy was not in drastic measures but rather preventative ones. The bill went over and the senate ad journed. T he house passed a number of bills today, most of them providing for print ing laws and reports. Among them waa a bill providing for the printing of testimony and other documents in the, Schley case. Consideration of the rural fre,e de livery bill was then resumed. It was agreed to close the general debate on the bill with the adjournment tomor row. MISS ROOSEVELT WILL NOT VISIT CORONATION SOME OF PRESIDENT'S FRIENDS HAVE ALL ALONG OP POSED IT. Washington, March 7. The report tel egraphed from London that Miss Roose velt would not attend King Edward's coronation, has been confirmed. No reason is assigned, but It is known that many of the president's friends have from the beginning been opposed to her going, on the ground that her presence might be misunderstood to have official significance attached to -it. Washington', March 7. It is under stood that one particular reason why Miss Roosevelt's proposed visit has been abandoned is the invitation from the kaiser to become his guest in Berlin, as this- could not be done without giv ing official significance to her presence both in England and Germany, it was decided- to make other plans for her summer vacation'.
