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

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-

corted by General Corbin to the diplomatic
gallery, but Prince Henry and Ambassa
dor von Holleben were us'bered directly
into the Senate chamber.
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

"My Country, 'Tls of Thee." Over tho
embassy floated a flag which has never
been seen In Washington before tho per
sonal flag of the Imperial family of Ger
many. It showed not only the colors of
the German Nation, but also, in the cen-
ter, the Imperial coat of arms. Along
the front of the embassy entrance were
looped the German colors. Intertwined
with garlands of laurels and tall green
,pino tops. Above floated the Stars and
Btrlpes. Just before the embassy door
stood a guard of honor of 10 United
States engineers, six-footers, every one
of them. In bright uniforms, as rigid as
statues. Princo Henry returned the sa
lute of the officer and then passed Inside
Once within the embassy, his Imperial
Highness was indeed, at homo, for, in
diplomatic parlance, this was the same
as the native soil of the Fatherland. The
first brief salutations now gave way to a
generous German welcome. The Prince
was escorted up the main stairway to
tho spacious reception-room used as a
ballroom. At every hand, the German
colors gave a friendly welcome to tho
imperial guest. The entire flrst floor of
the embassy had been placed at the dis
posal of the Prince and his personal
staff, and soon the drawing-room, the
Japanese room, the smoking-room and
the Ambassador's study had their guests
and officials. Prince Henry had, as his
private study, the Japanese room, with
its rich Oriental furniture and curios.

suite, after the call at the White House,
proceeded to the New Wlllard Hotel,
where quarters covering the entire first
floor wero at their disposal

Tremendous cheering from tho crowds
at 11:40 announced the coming of the
President to the embassy to return the
call of Prince Henry. The President
drove In an open landau, with Colonel

Ambassadors stationed In Washington, as
the high rank of en Ambassador makes
hint a personal representative of his sov
ereign or ruler and entitles him to the
first call. The. Prince was accompanied
by the German Ambassador, the two driv
ing in an open landauT As the Prince
came Into view the crowd gave him an
ovation of cheers. At the head of the
carriage galloped the escort of cavalry
troopers. The drive took the party
throughout the northwest section of the
city, where crowds lined the streets.
The Prince's flrst call was at the Brit
ish Embassy. Lord Pauncefote being the
dean of the diplomatic corps. The Prince
did not enter the Embassy, simply leaving
his card. Calls were then made on the
French, Russian. Italian and the Mexican
Ambassadors, at each place cards being
left. The Prince's calls did not extend to
the foreign Ministers, as their rank does
not make them personal representatives of
their sovereign or ruler. Returning to the
German Embassy, Prince Henry and his
party took lunch with the German Am
bascador and the members of his staff.
GERMANY HIGHLY PLEASED.
Never Did Papers Give So Great De
tails Aboat a Forelg-n Event.
BERLIN. Feb. 24. The narratives of
the reception of Prince Henry at New
York cover one and two pages In today's
Issues of the principal German newspa
pers. No fOretgn event has ever been
reported in the German press with such
detail as is the welcome of New York
to the brether of the Emperor. Every
body here Is pleased thercit. and court
circles are especially gratified by the
spontaneous good will manifested, as well
as by the great size of the organized
demonstrations. The editorial articles on
this subject are without exception kindly.
America is seemingly a rediscovery of
these periodicals, judging from the space
given up to elementary discourses on
American characteristics, history and
commercial expansion.

train, and will fare largely as did the cor
respondents accompanying President Mc
Kinley on his Pacific Coast trip. Two or
three artists will join the party In New
York.
