at Boston.
BOSTON, March 6. Prince Henry of
Prussia was the guest of Boston today,
and his welcome to the city was a cordial
one. Governor Crane, and Mayor Collins,
acting for the state and the city, extended
the official courtesies to him, and when
the Prince had ceremoniously received
(their calls he went to Cambridge to deliver
the gifts of his brother. Kaiser wimam,
to the German museum, and to receive
from. Harvard the honorary degree of
doctor of laws.
Prince Henry's first act at Harvard
"Union, shortly after he received the de
gree, was to propose and lead three cheers
for President Roosevelt, who Is a Har
vard alumnus. The Prince received a ca
blegram from the Emperor, congratulat
ing him. on his newest honor.
Ton'ght the Prince was given a dinner
by the City of Boston, and sat at a table
with more than 200 representative citizens
of the commonwealth. He will resume
his journey early In the morning, and to
" morrow he will visit Albany and the
XTnlted States Military Academy at West
Point, en route to New York, which ho
will reach Friday evening.
Bright sunlight favored the day, and the
streets and avenues were thronged. The
special train which carried the Prince was
not delayed by flood or storm, and made
the time planned for It by "the railway
men. It halted for a few moments at
Springfield, but nol at Worcester.
Entry Into Boston.
- Boston was reached at 9:35 o'clock, and
as soon as the special halted in South Sta
tion. Mayor Collins and a delegation -of city
officials boarded the train and were Intro,
duced to the Prince by Ambassador von
Holleben. There was an exchange of
greetings, and the Prince, his staff and
the members of the American escort were
shown to carriages awaiting at the drive
way of the station. Escorted by cavalry
men and naval militiamen, the party was
driven to the Hotel Somerset. The people
were packed in behind the police lines, and
every building was crowded. Flags and
streamers hung over the heads of the
thousands. The Prince wore his naval
uniform, and acknowledged the greetings
with his choicest salute. When the car
riage reached the Common, a royal salute
was fired.
At the Somerset the Prince, surrounded
by his staff in full uniform, received Gov
ernor Crane, who came with an equally
brilliant staff, and when the call was
ended, the Prince started at once for the
Statehouse, to return the courtesy. There
was another demonstration on that Jour
rey. After he had paid his respects to
Governor Crane, he entered the House,
where the Legislature was in session, ana
was presented from the forum, by Presi
dent Soule, of the Senate. Leaving the
chamber, he was shown the battle-flaga
carried by the regiments of the state in
the Civil War.
After, thaf .he re-entered his carriage,
and was driven to the public library, where
he? Tettzmed the: call of Mayor Collins.,
Thirty-five veterans, who fought with hlB
grandfather In the Franco-Prussian War,
were presented at the library, - and the
Prince shook hands with them, ell and
zsked them questions.
The ceremony at the library over, the
Prince returned to the Somerset, and after
a short wait there started for Cambridge.
Mayor McNamee gave him the freedom of
the City of Cambridge, and the school
children sang for him at the City Hall.
Conferring of the Degree.
At the university he was first taken to
Memorial Hall, where he met the cor
poration of the college, and then to San
ders Theater, where the degree was con
ferred. President Eliot, who appeared In
scholar's gown, addressed the Prince as
follows:
"In watching the social and ethnolog
ical phenomena of our own times, we have
Been that the largest contribution which
a European people made In the 19th cen
tury to the population of the United States
came from Germany, and that the German
quota was not only the most numerous,
but the best educated.
"As university men, we feel that great
obligations rest on the technical schools
and universities of the German Fatherland,
rrom them thousands of eager American
students have drawn instruction and in
spiration arid taken example. At this mo
ment hundreds of American teachers who
call some German university their foster
mother are at work in schools, colleges
and universities, all the way from, this ley
scacoast to the hot Philippines.
"Our men of letters and science know
well the unparalleled contributions Ger
many has made since the middle of the
19th century to pure knowledge, and also-
lo science applied to the new arts and In
dustries, which within 50 years have so
anarvelously changed the relations of man
to Nature.
"Our people have the profoundest sym
pathy with the unification of Germany.
We all believe in a great union of feder
ated states, bound together by a common
language, by unrestricted mutual trade,
by common currency, malls, means- of
communication, courts of justice and In
stitutions of credit and finance, and in
spired by a passionate patriotism. Such
is the venerable American union; such the
young German Empire.
"We gladly welcome hero today a
worthy representative of German great
i.ess, worthy in- station, profession and
character."
At Harvard Union.
The Prince did not respond in a speech
to tho address of the president,
but simply bowed an acknowledgment. He
was next escorted to the faculty-room,
where he met the faculty, and, with his
staff, lunched with them. This was an
entirely Informal affair, and at Its conclu
sion the entire party repaired to the Har
vard Union. This building was filled with
students and other representatives of col
legiate life. Prince Henry, Admiral Ev
ans and President Eliot occupied seats
upon one platform, while upon a second
were seated Major H. L. "HIgglnson, the
donor of the building, O. G. Frantz, the
musical director. President Richard
Derby, of the junior class, who presided,
and others. When the Prince had seated
himself. Director Frantz started "Fair
Harvard." The Prince Intently read the
words, which were printed on the pro
gramme. President Derby then addressed
tne Prince briefly, and Introduced. Major
Henry L. HIgglnson. Major HIgglnson 1
said In part:
"Your Royal Highness: This is your
house, for it Is the Harvard Union, built
by Harvard men for all Harvard men,
and today and for as long as you live,
you are holding our diploma and wear
ing our name a Harvard man. You are
welcome to our house welcome as a son
of the old, famous Hohenzollern dynasty,
which has written many a page of the
world's history, sometimes by Are and
sword, oftener by the Tarts of peace. You
are welcome as the representatve of a
proud nation and as representative and
brother of; a great Emperor who is walk
ing in the footsteps of his ancestors.- You
ere welcome as the son and grandson of
the rulers who drew together the many
German Princes and peoples and thus ere-;
ated once more a German empire. We
welcome you as an Admiral of the Ger
man Navy and as the officer chosen to
wear for the first time the German, de
gree of doctor of engineering. We all
offer to you our greeting and our friend
ship, and once more we bid you wel
come to our house, and we ask your
friendship and your presence among us
again and meanwhile we bid you God
speed." Major HIgglnson then turned to the
great body of students and said: "Now,
Harvard students, our greetings to Em
peror William," and the Harvard yell was
given with a long, drawn-out "Emperor
William" thrice repeated. President Derby
then introduced R. C. Boiling to speak for
the general student body.
This completed the spoken welcome. R.
M. Green, a student, read an appropriate
poem, to which Prince Henry paid close
attention. At Its conclusion he extended
congratulations and thanks to th6 young
man through President Eliot. Three long
cheers were then given, terminating in the
words, "Prince Henry."
Cheers for Roosevelt.
Prince Henry's face was a picture of
enjoyment as he arose to respond to the
felicitations. He read from manuscript,
saying:
"Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: During

THE HARVARD TJNXOJf,. CENTER OP THE UNIVERSITY'S SOCIAL LIFE.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 6. The new Harvard Union, first opened to atudents at tho beginning of the present college
year, was used today lor the reception of Prince Henry. It has apparently finely established Itself as apart ot Harvard under
graduate lite, although it is Iho opinion of tho management that the union can only be Judged fairly after four years of actual
operation. Nevertheless, It has. thus far fully met the expectation of the founders. The object of the union, to Quote from its
constitution, is "to promote comradeship among the members of the university, by providing at Cambridge a suitable club for
social purposes," and it Is proving what Its founders desired an actual club, with a membership open to the entire under
graduate body. In whatever department, and whether In Cambridge or Boston, and with a secondary membership Including
members of the faculty and graduates In ever part of the country, and not merely those living In Boston, Cambridge and
the near-by towns.
The building in which the union is domiciled was presented by Major Henry L. HIgglnson, the donor also of Soldiers' Field,
the athletic center, with which the union has Immediately become so closely associated. It was designed by McKlm, Mead &
White, of Kew York, and is constructed ot red brick and sandEtone, suggesting the Colonial period of architecture like most
of the newer Harvard buildings and giving an immediate impression of simple and dignified hospitality. Inside it carries out
this Idea, with all the appurtenances of a well-regulated and substantial club. The main assembly-room, the natural center
of &11 larger gatherings, is a lofty apartment, finished In oak, and large enough to accommodate about 800 men without crowd
ing. It extends through two stories of the "bulldinc At each end are great fireplaces, the mantel of one being surmounted by
a bust of John Harvard, and called the John Harvard fireplace, and the other, the Washington fireplace, by a bust of Wash
ington, who received the Harvard degree ot LiL. D. in 177G, at the time when he was besieging Boston. Each end of the room
Is bung with tapestries, and there have been added to the walls several of the old portraits from Memorial Hall, among
them that of John Adams, the first Harvard president.
In its ordinary use the living room of the union contains wide tables, settees and deep chairs scattered about In comfort
able disorder, with here and there smaller tables for the service of tea or coffee after a dinner in the grillroom. On. the oc
casion of large meetings It presents an entirely different appearance, the chairs being arranged in rows in order to accommo
date a. large membership, and the busts of Washington and Harvard peering mistily through tobacco smoke.
The entertainment given by the students for Prince Henry taxed It to Its utmost capacity.

my short stay In Cambridge I have found
fully" all that " I expected, except one
thing, of wh'lch I "have heard some times.
Where is your Harvard indifference?
(Cheers.) I can only state the fact that I
have met with just the contrary in your
enthusiasm, strenuous and high idealism.
To be sure, if that is the real sentiment
here, I had already met the true Har
vard spirit before I came to Cambridge,
when I met In "Washington that noble
Harvard graduate who has brought
honor alike to Harvard and to his- coun
try. Let us not forget him In our gath
ering, and as I have been for two hours
a Harvard man myself (cheers) I propose
in true Harvard fashion three times three
rahs for Theodore Roosevelt."
These cheers were given with a will in
response to the Prince's suggestion, the
closing words being "Theodore Roose
velt," followed by clapping of hands. Di
rector Frantz hen led In th,e song "Hard
Luck for Old Ell," after which the glee
club sang In German the "Wacht am
Rheln," followed by "Fair Harvard"
again.
President Eliot now handed Prince
Henry a cablegram, which he opened at
once. His face lighted up as he read its
contents. He arose and eald to President
Eliot:
"If I may speak again, Mr. Chairman
and Gentlemen, I have this minute re
ceived a message from the German Em
peror. I don't know If among you there
are enough to understand my language
(laughter and cries of Oh, yes'). I am not
Joking, gentlement. but the wording of
the telegram I would prefer to give as
it stands here. It Is addressed to me."
The Prince then read In German the
cablegram, a correct translation of which
follows:
"Henrj't Prince of Prussia, Harvard
University, Cambridge: I congratulate
you upon receiving todaj' the honorary
degree of Harvard University, the highest
honor which America can bestow. May
the copies of the examples of German art
and German civilization which I transmit
through ycu be to the professors, as well
as to the young academicians, an incen
tive throughout their lives and anlnspir
lng example in the pursuit of German
ideals and in the striving for all that ex-
alts and is lasting. TVTLLIAM."
Major HIgglnson then personally led In
a cheer for Emperor William, and the
meeting was over.

Prince and his suite were most Interested
In the rowing machines. Dr. Sargent per
sonally showed him the mechanism of on&
of these machines, and pulled a few
strokes upon it. Prince Henry said that
he had had numerous arguments with
members of his staff about the effect of
a wrong movement upon a racing shell.
After Dr. Sargent's Illustration the Prince
said: "I have an opportunity to tell them
'I told you so.' "
The trophy-room was visited, and the
mementos were explained to him. Soon
the carriages were driven for the home
of Professor Munsterberg. Here Prince
Henry found many men and women of
hie own nationality, and decorations "in
the German style. When the Prince and
President Eliot had met Professor and
Mrs. Munsterberg, they were conducted
Into the library, where stood Henry W
Putnam, chairman of the board of direct
ors of the Germanic Museum. He ad
dressed the Prince, and in response Prince
Henry said:
"Allow me in & few mords to thank you
for the kindness which you have shown
me here, and to tell you that the United
States had been closely watched from
the other side during the last
year. We are aware of the marvel
ous Industry which has brought your
country to Its position, and we also are
aware of the existence of the Germanic
Museum Association, and especially has
His Majesty, the German Emperor, my
brother and sovereign, whom I have the
honor to represent here, kept his eye
upon It.
"He has ordered me to hand over to you
these photographs of reproductions of
monuments, which are going to be repro
duced In casts. The work, If I may say it.
Is just In Its first stages. The casts are
now being made, and it will be about
four months before the German Emperor
Is able t6 send them and put them into
your hands. May I not, then, offer these
to you, President Eliot?" And he handed
to President Eliot a large portfolio of
photographs of German monuments and
other pieces of German architecture.
President Eliot responded appropriately
and returned the university's thanks foe
the gift. When President Eliot had
stopped speaking, Prince Henry said: "I
hope it will promote good feeling between
the two nations."
"It cannot do otherwise," replied Pres
ident Eliot, "and the good feeling rests
on common stock, on common motives
o
and ideals, and many of the German
ideals will doubtless be expressed In this
collection in the works of art which your
sovereign Is golngio exhibit hero in Cam
bridge, for centuries to come."
After this, escorted by cavalry, the
Prince was driven back to the Hotel Som

There are 7000 and more vot

Prince Henry was then introduced, and
spoke brielly. He said:
'Mr. Mayor, Gentlemen: In giving ex
pression to my thanks, for the cordiality
of the reception tendered me, I beg to say
that I shall endeavor to realize that I am
the guest of a city of predominant pride,
whose Inhabitants, I am informed, look
upon it as the hub of the universe. Seri
ously speaking, I should have considered
my tour through this country incomplete
without a visit to the principal city In the
commonwealth which has played so Im
portant a part In the history of the United
States and whose influence Is so great and
far-reaching. A state which gave to lit
erature an Emerson, a Hawthorne and a
Longfellow, to science such men as Agas
slz and Thoreau, and to historical re
searches the services of a Bancroft, a Mot
ley and a. Prescott, must certainly be reck
oned with as an Important factor In the
progress and development of the whole
land.
"It was in and about your state that
was produced an era which witnessed the
growth of a Nation and a standard of uni
versal patriotism very rarely equalled. In
some respects, then, my visit Is of partic
ular Interest to me. I seem to stand here
at the cradle, as It were, of American civ
ilization. Let it also be that the bonds ot
friendship, which for so many years have
united our two peoples, may still further
bo strengthened by mutual rivalry In the
fields of literature, art and science. Should
this be tho result of my visit to your
friendly and hospitable shores, I will hav
gladly put up with having submitted to

American press men as well as having.

enjoyed my trip, and should It be my
good fortune to return to the United
States, I know It will be no more as an
entire stranger."
The Prince was followed by Governor
Crane, who extended a welcome on behalf
of the commonwealth.
Secretary John D. Long, of the Navy
Department, was Introduced as represent
ing the Government at Washington. He
said in part:
"The significance of the Prince here as
our guest and of his coming with his
distinguished companions to the United
States marks what is almost the best
phase in modern civilization, the friendly
mutual relations of the nations of the
world, which make them neighbors and
friends Instead of aliens and enemies. As
In our own country there axe the sharp
and Intense rivalries and competitions
which are necessary to secure the largest
results, but under them also Is a common
National patriotism which makes us all
stand together as one man. so among the
nations at large, while It Is better for the
world's progress that there should be com
petition in trade and rivalry in growth
and power, underneath these is the recog
nition of a common humanity resting on
great fundamental principles of peace and
general welfare the uplifting of the op
pressed, the education of the Ignorant, the
bettering of human conditions, the stead
ily rising ethical standing of all and for
all. The presence of our guest tonight
means International generosity in the
place of International Jealousy, closer re
lations Instead of estrangement, arbitra
tion before war."
other toasts were by Collector of the
Port George H. Lyman, representing the
Government of Massachusetts: President
Eliot, representing Harvard University;
Richard Carter, representing the business
men of Massachusetts and Boston, and
Colonel Thomas Wentworth HIgglnson, a
soldier of the Civil War. The last re
sponse was from Richard Olney, ex-Secretary
of State. The banquet came to an
end with three hearty cheers for the
Prince.
The Prince and his suite then retired to
their apartments, reappearing a few min
utes later for departure for the residence
of J. Montgomery Sears, where a reception
was tendered to the Prince by the Thurs
day Evening Club. At this reception,
which was entirely informal, the Prince
had tho opportunity of meetUur &d AP-

MAINE EXPLOSION CLAIMS.
IajHry Is National and Sufferers Must
Loolc to Their Coantry.
"WASHINGTON, March 6. Today the
Spanish Treaty Claims Commission hand
ed down a decision against the claimants
for deaths and Injuries received by offi
cers and seamen In the wreck of the battle-ship
Maine In Havana harbor.
The commission holds that "Individual
claims of citizens of one nation may arise
against the government of another nation
for redress or Injuries to persons or prop
erty which such citizens may have sus
tained from such government or any of its
agents, but such individual claims do not
arise In favor of the officers and seamen
or shlpsof-war who receive In the line of
duty Injuries to their persons for which
a foreign government is responsible. The
claim against a foreign government is
wholly national, and all injuries to such
officers and seamen are merged Into the
national Injury, and they can look only
to their own government for such remu
neration as It may choose to give them.
"A seaman Injured by the explosion
which destroyed the battle-ship Maine in
the harbor of Havana, Cuba, on Febru
ary 15, 1SSS, has no Individual claim
against Spain, even If that government
was responsible to the United States for
tho explosion, and therefore such Ameri
can Is not entitled to award In his favor
from the Spanjsh Treaty Claims Commis
sion organized by the act of Congress of
March 2, 1801, to adjudicate all Individual
claims of citizens of the United States
against Spain which the United States re
leased to Spain, and agreed to pay by tho
treats of peace of December 10, 189S."
The claims so far filed with the com
mission which will be affected by this
decision amount to about $2,500,000. which
probably would be Increased to $5,000,000
had the decision been favorable to the
claimants.
Commissioner Chambers filed a dissent
ing opinion. The Commissioner laid down
the following proposition: "A sailor nei
ther forfeits nor waives any of his indi
vidual rights as a citizen, except such as
conflict with the loyal, effective discharge
of his duties as a sailor; he assumes no
risks that result from forces wrongfully
put In operation by the culpable negli
gence or acts of a foreign government,
and he has the same rights as any other
citizen to claim indemnity for wrongs
done by foreign governments in time of
peace."

ONLY A SUGGESTION.
Dnt It Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thounnncls.
Common sense would Miggest that if
one wishes to become fleshy and plump it
can only result from the food we eat ard
digest, and that food should be album
inous or flesh-forming food, like eggs,
beefsteak and cereals; in other words, the
kinds of food that make flesh are the
foods which form the greater part of our
dally bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the stom
ach, from abuse and overwork, does not
properly digest and assimilate it, which Is
the reason so many people remain thin
and under weight; the digestive organs
do not completely digest the flesh-forming
beefsteak and eggs and similar whole
some food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or in
convenience from their stomachs.
If such persons wouln lay their preju
dices aside and make a regular practice
of taking, after each meal, one or two
of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, the food
would be quickly and thoroughly digested,
because these tablets contain the natural
peptones and diastase which every weak
stomach lacks, and by supplying tnis
want the stomach is soon enabled to re
gain Its natural tone and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest every
form of flesh-forming food. meat. eggs,
bread and potatoes, and this is the reason
they so quickly build up, strengthen and
invigorate thin, dyspeptic men. women
and children.
Invalids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked benefit,
as they contain no strong, irritating
drugs, no cathartic nor any harmful In
gredient. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets Is the most
successful and most widely known of any
remedy for stomach troubles, because It Is
tho most reasonable and scientific of
modern medicines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by
every druggist in the United States and
Canada, as well as in Great Britain, at 50
cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further Is required to cure any
stomach trouble or to make tlln, nervous,
dyspeptic people strong, plump and well.
