Prince Henry arrived at 10:20 o'clock.
Krcad-Strcet Station contained probably
Lie largest crowd in its history, .and the
first appearance of the Prince as he
edghted from the private car Columbia
was the signal for an ovation wnlch was
continued as long as the distinguished
guest remained In sight of the multitudes
Fathered to extend a popular welcome.
Tho Prince was met at tho railroad sta
tion by the citizens' reception committee,
Leaded by Mayor Samuel H. Ashbrldge.
"With Mayor Ashbridgc on his left, and
Chief "VVllkle, of the Secret Service, at
tending him on the right, he walked
through the passage-way to the street,
where carriages were in waiting. Admiral
Hvans and the Prince's suite followed.
The first and second troops, Philadelphia
City Cavalry, acted as official escort, and
two battalions of mounted policemen
headed and brought up the rear of the
proccssslon.
Five minutes after his arrival at tho
City Hall Prince Henry stood In the
Mayor's reception-room, which had been
simply and tastefully decorated with
flowers and the American and German
colors. Mayor Ashbrldge extended the
freedom of the city to the royal visitor,
and presented to him a handsome album
containing his address of welcome beauti
fully engrossed. The Mayor's address was
as follows:
Major's Address of Welcome.
"In -welcoming you to our city, we wish
to express to your royal highness the
gratification of Qur people at your visit to
Philadelphia, where the Declaration of In
dependence was written and proclaimed;
where the federation of the United States
was promulgated, and where Independence
Hall still stands, a mute witness .to the
courage and patriotism of the men who
laid the foundations of the Republic.
Philadelphia is well named the City of
Homes, and is distinguished in the arts
and manufactures and especially for the
genius and skill displayed In its indus
tries. "Were you to stay longer there la
much here worth studying. Our magnifi
cently equipped system of public and pri
vate schools, our great colleges, our Insti
tutions of art and philanthropy, our nu
merous and varied manufacturing Indus
tries, would, we believe, command your
admiration and respect.
"Your visit to this great Nation, brief
as It is. has been sufficient to suggest Its
limitless possibilities and great resources,
"but nowhere, we are sure, have you seen
a more typical American city than Phil
adelphia. We beg leave to assure you that
the cordial relations which exist 'between
tho Imperial German Empire and the
United States are fully appreciated by
all our people, and It gives me great
pleasure to ex'end to you the freedom of
our city as exemplified in the discussion
of eelect and common councils, and the
address of welcome contained in this cap
lset. May your visit to Philadelphia re
main always with you as one of your
most pleasant memories."
Prince Henry in response said:
"This is but another of the many acts
of kindness that have been extended to
me in this country. I cerure you that I
deeply appreciate it. I thank you for
the freedom of the city which you have
given me and for this handsome souvenir,
which I shall preserve. Again I thank
you."
He then shook .hande with the Mayor.
Owing to lack of time the stop at the
"Cradle of Liberty" was very short. The
Prince alighted from his carriage and,
accompanied by the Mayor and Admiral
Evans, hurried through the historic build
ing. The party then proceded to Indepen
dence Hall. Previous to Prince Henry's
departure from the City Hall he was pre
sented with an engrossed address of wel
come by a committee representing the
Central League of the Pennsylvania
League of Veterans and Soldiers of the
German Army. The address was as fol
lows: German LeagTHe' Address.
"Most Noble Prince: "With joyXul and
grateful hearts, wet the representatives of
the Central League of the Pennsylvania
Stajte League of Veterans and Soldiers of
the German Army, bid you welcome to the
City of Philadelphia. This league is the
Union of 14. societies mimberlntr S00 mpm

for the unity of Germany, and all of -whom
have done their duty faithfully In the
military 'service of the fatherland "With
Joyful hearts, as American, citizens of
German birth, we bid you welcome.
"We feel ourselves called upon to ex
press frankly our gratification that "His
Majesty, the German Emperor and King
of Prussia, has sent your royal highness,
and we see therein a proof of the leading
position which His Majesty has reached
on land and sea. We, German veterans
and German soldiers, beg your royal high
ness to accept our respectful greeting and
good wishes. We are German soldiers liv

sumed new duties, but we do not forget,

mother tongue. With the furtherance of

to erect in this city of brotherly love a
monument to German soldiers the first in
America resembling those In Germany.
His Majesty, the Emperor and King, has
most graciously presented to the central
league a cannbn for the monument which

At Independence UalL
The streets through which the Prince
passed from the municipal building to In
dependence Hall were thronged with
cheering people, and the right hand of
the royal truest was knt rnnstnntlv In
motion acknowledging the welcoming
ovauons. un me wiae piaza in front of
the historic old structure stands a statue

plause greeted the action of his royal
highness, when he, on alighting, graceful
ly uncovered before the statue. Ac
companied by Admiral Evans and Mayor
Ashbrldge, the Prince entered the build
ing and proceeded to the assembly-room.
He was Informed it was in this room tho
Declaration of Independence was signed,
and he displayed much Interest in the
colonial and Revolutionary relics exhib
ited In the adjoining room. The Prince
wns presented with an Illustrated album
containing a history of Independence Hall.
Within the corridor of the building 10 vet

ready to greet the Prince. He shook

tinuous ovation for the Prince and hb
party. The sidewalks along the entire '
route were filled with a holiday crowd, ,
all windows of factories and residences
being lined with spectators. The ship- !
yard was reached at 11:25 o'clock. Prince j
Henry and party were received by Charles
H. Cramp, who Introduced the royal vis- ,
itor to the directors of the company. '
Prince Henry was thoroughly at home in '
the yard, and InBtead of taking only tho
45 minutes allowed by the programme to !
Inspect the plant, he consumed an hour
and 40 minutes in going through tho '
place. On taking his leave of Mr. Cramp, !
who escorted him through the yard, the
Prince said: "I could stay here all night."
The Prince was first taken into the de-
partment where marine engines are built,
and from thfro h vni cmnrta 1
battle-ship Maine, which was launched
last Summer. He did not go aboard, but
gave her a critical inspection from the
dock. Mr. Cramp then took the Prince to
the Russian battle-ship Retvisan, which
will leave for Russia as eoon as the Ice in
Northern Europe breaks up. The great
sea fighter looked handsome, all painted
in white, with her sides lined with hun
dreds of Russian sailors. Prince Henry
and his suite was received at the gang
way by Captain Chensnovitch, the com
mander of the ship, and his staff, who
were in full uniform. After the greetings
were over, the sailors, who were still
standing at attention, gave the Prince a
Russian cheer, wishing him health and
a profitable journey, to which he 'replied
in Russian: "Good morning, fellows."
This pleased the Russian officers and men
Immensely.

Captain Chensnovitch then took his
royal guest in hand, and, accompanied by
the Prince's two aids, made a thorough
inspection of the shlD. Evm-v nart of tho
J magnificent vessel was looked over, and
at the conclusion of the tour the Friace
congratulated the captain on. hi good for
tune in being the cdenmaader of such &
fine fighting machine, and said he felt
sure she would prove a credit to the
Czar's navy. The Prince was particu
larly pleased with the metal furniture
with which the Retvisan Is equipped, and
made notes of this new departure. Be
fore the Prince left the ship he inspected
the steamers on the quarter-deck. As the
German Admiral walked down the gang
way the entire ship's company, led by
Baron Fersen, naval attache of the Rus
sian Embassy at Washington, gave three
cheers for "Prince Henry of Prussia."
The Prince by this time was growing
enthusiastic over what he was seeing. He
made a rapid inspection of the big
armored cruisers Colorado and Pennsyl
vania, which, are still on the stocks, of
the Finland and Kroonland the largest
merchant vessels ever built in this coun
tryand of the Turkish, cruiser, which
has not yet been given a name. The
Prince did not know the Sultan had or
dered a cruiser in this country, and he
showed surprise when Mr. Cramp pointed
out the keel of the new Turkish vessel.
Having seen all the ships In the yards,
the Prince was then shown through the
various departments in which the material
for vessels Is made, and of all ""these the
LITTLE ILLUSTRATED FOLDER FOR. EASTERN DISTRIBUTION JUST ISSUED BY THE
(Portland Oregonlan, February 21, 1902.)
Portland led all other ports In the United
States in wheat shipments for the month of
January. The Oregon tnrtropolla not only rtood
at the head of the list, but she shipped nearly
one-fourth, of all the wheat shipped from the
United States last menth, and the shipments
from this city were greater than those of New
York. Philadelphia. Boston. Baltimore nnl
Galvcst'in combined. The month's shipments,
a complied by the Goemment Bureau of
Ktatlftlrs, show a pain for Portland of over 25
per cent, as comrarcd with the same month
last year. Puget Sound.shown a gain compared
with last year of about 1214 per cent, and San
Francisco a rain of less . than 10 per cent.
Coming at a time when rival port are making
so much fuss over Portland's "declining"
wheat trade, the Government figures make a
very pleasing showing.
A most Interesting feature of this last otate
ment of the Bureau of Statistics Is the show
ing made by the Faclflo Ccast port as a
whole, the combined shipments of Portland.
Tacoma, Seattle and San Francisco amounting
to over 5,GOO,000 bushels, out of a total for all
American ports of 8.6C3.S25 bushels. Ist year,
out of a total of 12,005.010 bushels shipped in
January, the Pacine Coast shipped but 4.700.
000 bushels. The figures for the different ports
in detail, as compiled by the Bureau of Stat
lbtlcs, are aa follows:

purely American Invention, and asked
many questions about them. He paid par
ticular attention to the electric and pneu
matic devices, and was particularly in
terested in a machine known as the mul
tiple flange drill, which drills all the
holes in a flange at one time. He made a
minute examination of this, and remarked
that the Americans are certainly ahead of
all other nations In respect to penumatlo
tools. Before taking his departure the
Prince expressed himself to Mr. Cramp
as highly pleased -with all he had eeen,
and added that his rapid tour in the yard
was very Instructive. It was 1:05 when
the royal visitor left the shipyard, and
driving rapidly between two solid masses
of people the party reached the Union
League at 1:30 P. M. On his drive to and
from tho Cramps' yard Prince Henry
talked entertainingly with Mayor Ash
brldge regarding his tour through the
country. He told the Mayor that he had
had nn exceedingly pleasant and instruc
tive trip. He said he felt a little fatigued
at times, but that he soon recovered from
this.
The Prince eald to the Mayor that he
regretted very much that he did not have
an opportunity to Inspect the industries
of the United States, which he knew to
be very interesting. Later on, during the
eight-mile drive through the city, the
Prince constantly saluted In response to
the cheers, and His Royal Highness said
he wished It were proper to alute with
the left hand, as his right arm was so
tired it pained him every time he raised It.
At the Union League Prince Henry was
the honored guest nt a private luncheon,
attended by 100 prominent citizens. The
banquet-room was beautifully decorated.
The center of tho table represented a lake,
in which rested an electrical and floral
miniature of Emperor William's yacht
Meteor. The chief feature of the flora!
decorntjons was the new pink carnation
named Prince Henry. On the wall di
rectly facing Prince Henry, aa he sat at
the table, was a life-size oil painting of
Emperor William, tastefully draped with
German colors. The guests at the luncheon
were nrrprntprt inrllvMnnii.. Tin
Henry, and later the memhrr of th I
Union League, who had gathered to honor l
ene jrrincc, were presented collectively.
The Prince made a brief address, saying:
"I wish to thank you for the kind recep
tion I met with in th Union League.
Gentlemen, this Is probably the last op
portunity I will have during my visit to
the United States to speak In public, and I
am not sorry that this should be so. What
I am going to communicate to you here, I
am saying before tho world. There has
been absolutely no secret object con
nected with my visit to your Nation.
Should any of you read or hpar anything
to the contrary. I authorize you herewith
to flatly contradict It. I was told before
leaving my home to open my eyes as well
as my ears, ss wide as possible; to speak
as little as I could. In this latter in
stance I am afraid my mission Is a fail
ure. I saw many more things than many
of you may be aware of. I equally heard
a great many things, among others many
kind words of. individuals, as well as the
shouts of welcome of thousands of your
countrymen. What I express in your
presence I express in the presence of your
Nation my heartfelt thanks for the cor
dial reception and good feeling I met
with during my stay in your country. It
will be my duty to Inform the Emperor
of this fact. I am homeward bound to
morrow. It would be wrong of me to say
I am sorry to go home, but at the same
time I feel sorry to leave a country In
which I have met with so much kindness
and hospitality. Let me add, gentlemen:
Let us try and be friends."
After the luncheon the Prince was driv
en to the Pennsylvania Railroad station,
where he boarded his train at 3:20 o'clocK.
As the train moved, out of the train shed
the Prince, In acknowledgement of a pop
ular demonstration, stood on the platform
Of the rear car and repeatedly saluted tho
throng.

guests were present.
About 9 o'clock the party again boarded
the John Bowers for New York, and were
driven to the Irving Place Theater. The
decoration at the entrance of the theater
was of the .most elaborate kind, a canopy
covered with flowers and electric lighta
being stretched from curb to door.
Tho audience, which packed the theater,
was a representative one. and had waited
patiently for almost two hours for the
Prince to appear and the play to begin,
which it did about 10 o'cloc. The play was
"Im Wclsacn Roess'l," known in English
as "The White Horse Tavern." Prince
Henry relaxed to a great extent during
the performance, and laughed heartily ai
the humorous situations. At the close

he boarded a Pennsylvania Railroad train

Stone Kldnapins-
WASHINGTON, March 10. It is again
specifically stated hero that no demand
has been made upon Turkey In connection
with Miss Stone's case. The action taken
by Minister Lclshman, as reported from
Constantinople, was simply to conserve
any rights which might ba developed here
after, and his note to the Turkish Gov
ernment amounted to nothing more than
a statement that the United States Gov
ernment intended to make a thorough In
vestigation of tho incidents connected
with the kidnaping, and at the conclusion
of that Investigation would look for re
dress to the party upon whom responsi
bility was fixed. It may be added that
tho whole trend of evidence so far Is very
strongly against the Bulgarians, and nor
against the Turks.
Text of the Jfote.
CONSTANTINOPLE, March 10. The
American Legation here today presented
to the Porte the test of the note refer
ring to the capture of Miss Stone. It Is
pointed out In this note that, as Miss
Stono was captured, the ransom paid and
the prisoners delivered in Turkey, the
brigands must be within the Turkish
frontier, and should, therefore, be cap
tured. The note denies that the authori
ties were ever required to lessen their
vigilance on the frontier, and asserts
that only the movements of the troops
in the" Interior were interfered with.
(The first note presented to the Porte
by the United States Legation at Con
stantinople In the matter of Miss Stone's
capture by brigands demanded the pun
ishment of the guilty persons. The Porte,
In replying, repudiated responsibility.)

WASHINGTON. March 10. For nearly
two hour today Vest addressed the Senate
In opposition to the pending ship subsidy
bill. No member of the body hasUeen ac
corded more flatteringly close attention
than he received. Despite his evident
feebleness he spoke with force and fire,
and at times became brilliantly eloquent.
Tillman followed with a brief speech in
opposition to the bill.
The Senate passed a considerable num
ber of unobjected bills on the calendar
among them the following: lo restore
Henry D. Ha.l to the revenue cutter serv

The Senate agreed to the conference
asked by the House on the diplomatic and
Consular appropriation bill, and Hale,
Cullom and Teller were named as con
ferees. The Proceedings in Detail.
At 2 o'clock the ship subsidy bill
was taken up. Vest then began a speech
In opposition, comparing the bill in its
details with the postal subsidy act of 1S91,
and showing that in the pending bill it
was proposed to Increase the subsidy be
cause it was held by the majority that the
present postal subsidies were not sufficient
to aohleve the results hoped for from tho
pending bill. Vest declared that 73 per
cent of the subsidy, which would be re-
j celved by ships on the Atlantic, would go
to the International Navigation Company
and the American Line. The pending bill
he said, would take money out of the
Treasury of the United States without giv
ing anything of value In return for It.
Vessels would get tho subsidies whether
they carried a single postal card or not.
I The people's money ought not to bo paid
i out tn Individuals or corporations upon
any such hypothesis as that suggested in
the present hill. He said Ffye and Hanna
had presented roseate pictures of the ad
ditional commerce the United States would
acquire through the operations of the pro
posed bill, asserting that trade would fol
low thvr malls. As a matter of fact, he as
serted, the malls followed the trade; that
had been proved by the history of the
world.
Subsidy a Pare, Unadulterated One.
He declared the pending bill provided for
a "pure, naked and unadulterated sub-
i sldv." and said It was dcfpndd on tho
! ground that with the subsidy the Ameri
can merchant marine could compete with
the subsidized ships of European mari
time powers. He denied "emphatically and
distinctly" that such would be the resu:t
of the bill's operation. England, he as
serted, had 53 per cent of the ocean-carryn
ing trade of the world, but he denied that
England paid subsidies to her vessels. He
declared that Great Britain paid the
steamship lines for carrying tho., malls,
the sums paid being dependent upon the
number of pounds of mail carried. Most
of Tng land's ocean commerce was carried
by her tramp steamers, and not a penny
of subsidy was paid to any of them. The
only real subsidy which Great Britain
paid. Vest said, was 5300.000 per year paid
to the owners of certain vessels which
could be called Into use as auxiliary cruis
ers In time of war. If they were deemed
necessary.
Vest sharply criticised the provision of
the pending bill looking to the Improve
ment of the deep-sea fisheries. He said
he did not complain of the Senator from
Maine (Frye) because he proposed to take
Hro.0-0 a year from the taxpayers for the
benefit of New England's deep-sea fish
cries. He thought New England ought to
be satisfied with the legislation for her
special benefit already on the statute
books.
Vest criticised the majority of tho com
merce committee for eliminating from this
Mil the provision which required a sub
sidized ship to carry at least 50 per cent
of her cargo capacity on any voyage upon
which ahe was to receive subsidy. The
majority, he explained, had held that the
provision was of "doubtful Constitution
ality." He had read a letter from Hon.
George F. Edmonds, taking the ground
that such a provision wa3 not unconsti
tutional. Vest further along urged that if the
"shipping trusts" were to be subsidized
there was no reason why the farming in
dustry and tho mining-. Industry, too,
should not be subsidized.' The Senatoi
from Maine (Frye), continued Vest, with
hls usual ceurage and frankness, had saldv
subsidy meant protection. "And ho might
have said truthfully," said Vest, "thai
jrotection meant subsidy." The manu
facturers of this country, he said, were
protected by a tariff of 33 per cent against
the pauper labor of Europe, and yet they
sent their products to those Very pauper
labor countries and sold them 20 to 30 per
cent lower than they sold them to our own
people.
Attacks Navigation Lan-n.
Ve3t maintained that ships could be built
in thlT country as cheaply as they could
be built anywhere, and that the contention
of the majority to the contrary was not
well founded. He made a vigorous attack
on the navigation laws of the United
States, declaring that they are responsible
for tne decline of the merchant marine.
They embodied, he asserted, asjmlbarbaric
system, which even China had thrown
aside Thy had weighted down the mer
chant marine until it amounted practically
to nothing. The remedy was to abrogate
the navigation laws and permit citizens of
the United States to buy their ships where
. they could buy them cheapest. No sub-
i-idy would enaoie tnem to do that. He
asserted that If the Democratic party
should regain power, no ship subsidy
would be permitted to remain on the stat-
OREGONIAN.

ute books. Vest said If this subsidy is
given It will be but the beginning of the
end, and will result In a monopoly equal
to that of the Standard Oil Company.
Tillman, rpeaklng on the subject of the
ship subsidy bill, declared that foreigners
will not surrender the trade they enjoy
without a struggle, and. If necessary, will
resort to the cutting of rates In order to
hold It. He said the bill would foster
monopolies, and Incidentally referred to
the proposed increased Incorporation or
the United States Steel Company, which
would absorb the large shipyards of the
country- Speaking of the use of vessels
In case df emergency by the Government,
Tillman said he would cite as a commen
tary on patriotism and love of country
the fact that the four scout ships, St.
Paul, Paris, New York and St. Louis, used
during the Spanish-American War, cos,
the Government 52.SC4.S33, and these, ho
said, had been subsidized under a pretense
tnat they would serve us in time of emer
gency. At 4:35 P. M. the Senate went Into exec
utive session, and at 4:40 P. M. adjourned.
