THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1902. WELCOMES QUEST President Roosevelt Greets Prince Henry. MEETING AT THE WHITE HOUSE Rarely Ha That Historical Building Been the Scene of a More Brilliant Spectacle President Returns Call of the Visitor. WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. Rarely In Its hletory has the "White House been the scene of a more brilliant spectacle than today, when President Roosevelt wel comed to the United States Prince Hen ry of Prussia. Ever since the announce ment was made that the Prince would visit this country as the personal repre sentative of his brother, the German Em peror, the President and members of tho Administration have taken a lively In terest in the arrangements for his recep tion. The matter has been the subject of frequent discussions at Cabinet meet ings, and the details of the plans for the entertainment and comfort of the royal visitor have constantly been referred to the President for suggestion or approval. 3t has been the President's wish that, avoiding all ostentation, the Prince be given a cordial welcome. So far as Fed eral authority controls In the matter, that plan has been carried out. The Prince has met the President, and the welcome he received was genuinely hear ty and open-hearted and he, in turn, showed unmistakable evidence of the pleasure It gave him to meet the Presi dent of the American people. Nothing could have been more cordial and Ingen uous than the President's greeting to the German Prince, and it was returned In kind and in full measure. Fine Decorations Everywhere. Special preparations were made at the "White House for this event. All of the state departments on the first floor had received much attention from the Govern ment florists, but the decorations of the three communicating parlors, the Blue room, where tne President and Prince met and exchanged their greetings, and the Red parlor, occupied by Mrs. and Miss Roosevelt, and the Green ropm, where there were assembled the members of the Cabinet and their ladies, the wife of Secretary Cortelyou and a few invited guests, were exquisitely beautiful. The great East room, where wore conducted the Prince's suite, the German Ambas sador and staff, the American officers and other prominent guests, was handsome ly decorated. In these state apartments, as elsewhere, unseemly display had been carefully avoided, but the rich furni ture and draperies, the artistically ar ranged vases filled with great clusters of freshly-cut and fragrant American Beauty roses and other blossoms, the evergreen draperies and the gorgeous uni forms of the Prince and his party,, com bined to make the scene one of exception al brilliancy. The Prince appeared in the rich uniform of the Admiral of the Imperial German Navy, dark blue in color, with white finishings and rich gold embroidery. His left breast was covered with orders. Tho uniforms worn by his suite likewise were brilliant. The German Ambassador wore a diplomatic uniform, dark blue, with gold embroidery. Count Quadt wore the uniform of a Knight of St. George and shallow-tall coat with white collar and cuffs and white trousers, and others of the Embassy were resplendent in gay colorings and trappings. The President of the United States wore a plain black frock coat, a black tie and the turned down collar which Is habitual with him. General Corbin, Admiral Evans and the other officers of the American Army and Navy wore the uniform appropriate to their rank. Arrival of Prince Henry. It was 10:45 o'clock when the escorting cavalry column swung through the east gate, and at a brisk pace passed up the broad driveway to the White House. Here, at the word of command, the col umn broke Into single rank, facing tho main entrance. Another command, as the Prince's carriage passed the gate and every saber flashed from its scabbard and came to the position of present. A detachment of marines, headed by Its famous band, had taken place at the right and left of the main entrance facing north. The first carriage, containing tho Prince, Secretary Hay and Rear-Admiral Evans, drove up at a rapid pace, and as it passed under the porte cochere, the Marine Band struck up the German Na tional air, which was continued until all the company had left their carriages. At the carriage door, the Prince was met by Assistant Secretary Pearce and the German Ambassador, who saluted and presented to him Major McCawley, at the Marine Corps, and Captain Gil more, of the Artillery. In dress uniform, who saluted, and then led, the way Into the mansion between two lines of marines with arms at salute. Walking on tho left of the Prince was Secretary Hay and following came Admiral Evans, the Ger man Ambassador, General Corbin, and the members of the Prince's suite. The party was conducted through the main lobby Into the Red parlor, thence Into the East room, and from there the Prince alone was conducted through the room to the Blue parlor, where the President was in waiting to receive him. Meets President In Private. In conformity with diplomatic etiquette, the President received the royal visitor in private and without introduction. This was made necessary by the fact that there is now in the United States no rep resentative of tho German Nation of suf ficiently high rank to present to the President a Prince of the royal blood, a brother and personal representative of the German Emperor. After the greet ings had been extended, the President led the Prince Into the Red parlor anH in troduced him to Mrs. Roosevelt and his daughter. Miss Alice. After a few words with them, the royal visitor was conduct ed Into the Green room, and Introduced to the members of the Cabinet and their ladles. After the ceremony, the following statement was made by Mr. Pearce: "The conversation between the President and the Prince was of a formal nature, and had no political significance further than that contained in tho expressions of amity and good wllL" The party then proceeded to the East room, where the members of the Prince's suite were introduced to the President. The entire ceremony occupied 30 minutes. On the party reappearing, the Marine Band played "Hands Across the Sea," and with a few sharp military commands the drive to the German embassy was begun. EX ROUTE TO THE CAPITAL. A Short Stop at Baltimore Mayor Presents Resolntions of Welcome. BALTIMORE, Feb. 24. The train which bore Prince Henry of Prussia to tho National Capital made an exceedingly slow run from Jersey City to Baltimore, but there was no desire to make time with it. The Prince retired shortly after the special began Its jour ney across the State of New Jersey, and It was after 7 o'clock when he arose. He breakfasted at 8 o'clock in his private car Columbia. He said he found himself very well, and thanked the President's delegates and the railway officials for the arrangements made for his transporta tion. He expressed a desire to ride on an engine it some time during the jour ney through the country, and It was ar- ranged that he should do so at the outset of his Southern tour later in the week. There were no demonstrations during the nlgh't run of the train. In Maryland, during the early hours of the morning, some crowds gathered at the stations, but no stops were made. The -Prince's stay in Baltimore was necessarily very brief. The train arrived at 9 and was met at the Union Station by the Mayor and an cecort of 24 promi nent citizens. Two hundred members of the various German singing societies were also admitted to the station, but none of the big crowd which congregated in the streets waa allowed to approach the special train. Prince Henry came out of his apartment in the rear of the long train, and Mayor Hayes was presented to him as he stood upon the rear plat form by Mr. von Llngen, tho former Consul at this point. The Mayor made a warm speech of welcome and presented an engrossed copy of the resolutions of welcome which have been adopted by the City Council. The Prince in accepting it thanked him and the people for their courtesy. The chorus of singers then rendered several German patriotic and national airs, and after a stay of 20 minutes the train pulled out, amid the cheers of the crowds which lined the bridges over the tracks. FROM BALTIMORE OTf. Secretary Hay First to Extend For mal GrcetliiK at Washington. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. The trip from Baltimore to Washington was without Incident. In the outlying districts of Baltimore, crowds gathered to greet and cheer the Prince as he passed. No stops were made until this city was reached. The train waa closely guarded by the secret service men, with a care that will be exercised throughout its Journey dur ing the Prince's stay on American soil. The Prince occupied the time during the run from Baltimore to Washington in democratic fashion, talking freely with those about him as they discussed the country and the details of his visit. He told the President's delegates he wished to see as clearly as possible the places through which he was to travel, and as there would be some Interest of the pub lic In seeing him as well, he thought it would be best to use open carriages In the driving portion of the Itinerary ev erywhere. The delegates told him they would arrange the matter. Secretary of State John Hay, Secre tary of the Navy Long, Assistant Secre tary of State Pearce, who had immediate charge of the arrangements at the depot, and Count Quadt, and two other attaches from the German Embassy awaited tho arrival of the train at the depot. They remained in an improvised reception room, the walls of which wero heavily draped with intertwining American and German flags. The atmosphere was redolent with the fragrance of flowers. The embassy officials were In full uni form. A bugle call by a naval artillery man announced the arrival of the train. It was halted Just outside the depot, the engine detached, and the cars backed to a position opposite the receiving-room, midway down the train shed. The wel coming party passed quickly into the Prince's car and informally extended to him the welcome of the city. The offi cial greetings of the Prince, while for mal, were characterized by simplicity. Secretarj' Hay, as the head of the Cab inet, was the first to extend greetings. He said to the Prince: "The President requests me, sir, to give you, in his name, a cordial welcome to Washington." The Prince bowed a response. Secretary Long also addressed the visitor in nearly the same terms as Secretary Hay, ex pressing his pleasure at the meeting. The Prince's response was a brief "thank you." A few moments later the parly emerged and passed to tho reception-room. Com mander Cowles, President Roosevelt's brother-in-law, and Adjutant-General Corbin were the first to alight, and the Prince was not far behind them. Walk ing rapidly and with the erect bearing of a trained naval officer, past the group of officials, detectives and newspaper men, through a double line of whom ho passed, saluting with a touch of his hand to the glittering chapeau he wore, he crossed the carpeted depot aisle and Entered the reception-room. There he remained 10 minutes. Assistant Secre tary Pearce and Chief Wllkle stood at the door while the Prince was waiting. Finally Prince Henry, accompanyled by Secretarj' Hay and Rear-Admiral Evans, entered "the last of the open carriages. The carriages of the others were drawn up in line, and the Prince's carriage dashed at a rapid speed to the head of the column. Instantly the police arl military escorts wheeled into position and the party started up Pennsylvania avenue for the White House. GUARDIXG THE ROYAL PARTY. A Small Army of Detectives and Po licemen on Dnty. WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. Intermingled with the crowd at the depot was a email army of detectives and police men. Special precautions had been taken to insure the safety of the Prince and his cortege and to keep the people from pressing closely upon the party at any stage of Its journey through the pub lic places In the city. Assisting the local detectives was a. corps of detectives as sembled from a number of other cities watching for familiar faces of criminals and suspects from other points. Several mounted policemen guarded the rear of the tralnshed. The safeguarding of the Prince was effected not only by his Im mediate escort, but by special details: of policemen under several lieutenants, among whom was divided the responsi bility for the order of the route from the depot to the White House. All these were reinforced by a large number In citizens' clothes. At the White House a largo de tail of police assisted the regular men in keeping the grounds free from Intru sion of unauthorized persons. When the line of carriages bearing the Prince and cortege started from the depot, a platoon of 16 mounted policemen wheeled into line and took position at the head of the column. Acting Lieutenant Matthews In command of them. They con stituted the front platoon and a similar squad of mounted police under Sergeant Harry protected the rear. Between the policeman and carriages marched the military escort, composed of troops F and G, of the Second United States Cavalry, from Fort Meyer, headed by the band and Fourth Battery of Field Artillery, all un der the command of Lieutenant-Commander Dlmmlck. They were immediately In front and back of the line of open car riages, flanking the Prince's carriage. On each side were two mounted policemen, fully mounted with equipment of gaunt lets and dress saddle cloths. They were within range of the carriage to as to avoid as much as possible any annoyance or em barrassment to tho royal guest. A score of policemen on foot also marcfied'along sldc the carriages on each side at inter vals of six paces In single file. It is only a short block from the Sixth street depot to Pennsylvania avenue, and as the marching columns swung around It they found that broad driveway, from curb to curb swept bare of people and ve hicles from that point as far as the eye could, reach in a westerly direction. From shortly before the scheduled hour of arri val all street-car service along and across the line of roarcti had been suspended; all vehicles, except those belonging to the arriving party had been barred, and only authorized persons were allowed within the llnee. There were only a few of these. Banked along each side of tho route. In addition to the police, were over 1000 men of the District of Columbia military. They formed a double line of sentinels at inter vals of four paces, facing, of course, In wards. They included the Engineer Corps, commanded by Colonel Black, ex-member of the board of officers of the district. The double line of sentinels left a gap of four feet In the avenue and two feet In the Fifteenth-street hill along the Treasury between them and th peo ple massed along the curb. PRINCE VISITS CONGRESS DROPS EX OX NATIOX'S LAWMAKERS WHILE THEY ARE AT WORK. Meets Many of Them, and Is Ten dered a Warm Reception la Both Honses. WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. The visit of Prince Henry and his suite to the Capitol this afternoon must have. been not only a gratifying experience to the royal visitor on account of the warm and flattering re ception he received at both the House and the Senate, and of the opportunity it af forded of meeting personally the leaders of both houses, but It must have been an extremely interesting experience as well. The Prince not only saw the .houses of the American Parliament at work, but In the Senate he witnessed one of those rare and Intensely dramatic moments, which come in that body occasionally at the con clusion of a great debate. The Prince and his party arrived at the I eastern entrance of the Capitol at 4 o'clock, exactly on schedule time. Prince Henry was attired in the simple blue fatigue uniform of the German Admiral, and wore tho flat German naval cap of his rank. The members of his suite wore fatigue uniforms, ,nd the German Am bassador had exchanged his court dress for a conventional frock suit. In the mat ter of gold lace and braid. General Corbin and Admiral Evans, still In the splendor of full-dress uniform, outshone the Prince and his staff. Committee Meets the Party, The party was met at tho great bronzo doors leading Into the rotunda by a com mlttet from the House, consisting of Theodore E. Ferris. SHperintendent. THE MEN WHO MADE, AND THE Messrs. Hltt of Illinois, Dinsmore of Ar kansas and General Grosvenor, of Ohio. After brief cordial greetings had been ex changed the Prince and his party, under the protection of a half-hundred police, were conveyed through solid walls of peo ple packed lnxthe rotunda and Statuary Hall to the rocm of Speaker Henderson. Here the Speaker greeted the Prince with a warm hand-shake, as Mr. Hitt presented "His Royal Highness." General Henderson invited the Prince to be seated, while the German Ambassador made the othor Intro ductions, and then in a few words formal ly welcomed him. "Your Royal Highness," said Speaker Henderson, turning to the Prince, who instantly arose, "It gives me very sincere pleasure, In behalf of the United States House of Representatives, to greet you with a cordial and heartfelt welcome, and It gives me all the greater pleasure, as you ccaie representing In an eminent de gree that friendly feeling which exists between your nation and ours, and repre senting also the cordlal feeling of the Il lustrious head of the German Empire. When you are ready to go from here, we have made suitable provision for your ac commodation in the gallery, so that you can see the House of Representatives In session. When you have remained there a length of time agreeable to you. a com mittee, consisting of Mr. Hltt, chairman of the committee on foreign affairs; Mr. Dinsmore, also of that committee, and General Grosvenor, chairman of the com mittee on arrangements, will consult your pleasure as to what further roay bo- grati fying to you while at this end of the Cap itol." Prince Repairs to Gallery. The Prince thanked the speaker for his courtesy, and without fiirther ceremony the party proceeded to the gallery of the House. An impressive sight met the gaze of the Prince as he reached the threshold. The surrounding galleries were crowded to the doors, and below, on the floor, the members sat at their desks. His appear ance at the door of tho gallery caused an enthusiastic demonstration. Tho Prince paused, smiled and acknowledged the greetings with a slight bow. Then, ad vancing, with the German Ambassador and Mr. Hltt on either side, he descended to the ploco reserved for him In the front row of the gallery. Instantly every eye was upon him. He seemed perfectly ob livious of the fact that he was on ex hibition at close range. Mr. Gilbert, or Kentucky, was addressing the House at the time on the Philippine question, al though the diplomatic and consular ap propriation bill was under consideration. Prlnco Henry seemed Interested, listened attentively for several minutes to what Mr. Gilbert had to say, and appeared much pleased with the hearty applause which followed the statement of the Ken tucky member that the "Anglo-Saxon and German races are one." The Prince remained about 10 minutes in the gallery, and then ascended to the ways and means committee-room, where a reception was to be held. The demonstra tion as the Prince left the gallery was even more enthusiastic than when he en tered. A number of members rose to their feet and cheered. The House at once ad journed to afford the members an op portunity to meet the royal visitor per sonally. The reception was very Informal. The members formed a line and were pre sented by Mr. Hltt. Practically the en lire membership of the House took advan tage of the chance to meet Prince Henry, who gave each member In turn a smile and a word of friendly cordiality and a firm grasp of the hand. Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, the venerable ex-speaker, was one of those in whom the Prince showed a special Interest after he had been laformed by Mr. Hitt that the Penn sylvanlan had presided over the House 50 years ago. N Senate Committee Appears. Just as the reception, which lasted scarcely more than 10 minutes, was con cluded, the Senate committee, consisting of Senators Cullom, Lodge and Morgan, appeared, and, after being presented, es corted the Prince and his party to the Senate. In crossing to the other end of the Capitol the party again moved through a solid mass of people congregated In the rotunda, and there was much hand clapping as he passed. The Prince was interested In everything, remarked upon the polished marble columns In Statuary Hall, the great historic paintings In the rotunda and tho frescoes In the corridors. Through the marble-room in the rear of the Senate ho was escorted to the richly glided chamber of the Vice-President, and there Senator Frye, of Maine, the presi dent pro tern, of the Senate, greeted him and the members of his suite. No formal remarks were made on cither side. The members of the Prince's party were ea- HIIhS V "'.

The Princes first view of the Senate of tho United States hardly could have been more dramatic and thrilling. The chamber was brilliantly Illuminated from above; tho overhanging galleries were thronged to suffocation: every Senator was in his seat; the sides of the chamber were fringed with Representatives drawn thith er by news of the fierce conflict that was raging, and on the floor the youthful Senator from Texas. Bailey, was hotly engaged with several of the older leaders on the Republican side over the right of the two Senators from South Carolina, who are in contempt of the Senate, to vote on the Philippine bill. The excite ment at the moment was so great that even the entrance of a foreign Prince, unwonted as It wns, could hardly divert attention from the great debate which was In progress. Prince Greatly Interested. Senator Frye, with the Prince at his side, mounted the rostrum and invited him to be seated. With only a few words of explanation from Mr. Frye the Prince seemed to understand the situation. He watched the scene keenly as the young Tean tried the mettle flrst of one adver- Bary and then of anothcr. For fuiiy 20 minutes he sat completely engrossed by the scene before him. At last Ambassa dor von Holleben suggested that It was time to go, whereupon the Prince thanked ir . . . - . . xs fJeiT oA f XZ&&53i 5P ? &&t5SirSL W &v i jt 5T !?. 1 -- Jk.
