New Vork, Feb. 24.—Prince Henry
of Prussia reached New York yester-
day and was cordially welcomed ss a
guest of the nation. The land bat-

sounded the first greeting in a pon-
derous salute of 21 guns, the rifles of
a special naval squadron assembled
in his honor re-echoed the senti-
ment; there were verbal greeting*
from the representative! of President
Roosevelt, the srmy, the navy and the
city of New York, and a great crowd
lined the way into the city to see and
cheer the sailor prince of Germany.
Hear Admiral Hobley D. Evans,
commander of the special squadron
and honorary aide to the prince, left
the flagship Illinois st 9:40 o'clock in
the naval tug Nina. The Nina met
the Kron Prinz beyond Fort Wads-

liner. Aa the two vessels with a flo-
tilla of tugs and official craft moved
in past Fort Wadsworth the first of
the salutes of 21 guns was fired. As
the first gun sounded the prince ad-
vanced to the end of the bridge of

and two other attaches of the tiennan
embassy. Ten minutes later be left

with the crowd at the depot waa a
small army of secret service men, de-
tectives and policemen. Special pre-
cautions had been taken to iusure
the safety of the prince aud his cor.
lege and to keep the people from
pressing closely upon the party at
any ttage of its journey through the
public places in the city.

party was conducted through the
main lobby into the red parlor, thence
into the east room and from there
the prince was conducted through the
green room to the blue parlor, where
the president was In waiting to re-
ceive him. In conformity wilh diplo-
matic etiquette the preside! t received
the roynl visitor In private and with-
out introduction. This was made
necessury by the fact that there Is
now in the I'nlted States no repre-
sentative of the German nation of
sufficient high rank to present to the
president a prince of the royal blood,
a brother and personal representative
of the (ierman emperor.
The prince was warmly greeted
when he visited the senate and house
or representatives in the afternoon.
He not only saw the bouses of the
American eorgress at work, but In
the senate he witnessed one of those
intensely dramatic moments which
occasionally come In that body at the
conclusion of a great debate.
The dinner given to Prince Henry
by President Hoosevelt at the white
house last night closed the honors
bestowed on the roynl visitor by offi-
cial Washington yesterday. The af-
fair waa on an elaborate scale and
brought together a most distin
guished company.

"In the name of the German euiperor
I christen thee Meteor." Her voice
was loud and clear nnd could be dla-
tlnctly heard on all the surrounding

ax and severed the rope holding the
weight which kept the ship in the
ways and the tessel went gracefully
into the water.

with responding cheers. Then Presi-
dent Roosevelt raised his right hand
and when there was silence said: "I
ask three cheers for the guest who
hns already won our hearts, Henry
of Prussia. Xow a good one."
President Roosevelt's hip, hip,
hoorah was drowned In the roar of
applause that greeted the call for
cheers. Then the prince and presi-
dent shook hands warmly and as the
party started to leave the hall some
one among the invited guests shout-
ed: "Mr. President, I offer three
cheers for the young lady who haa
had the honor of launching the
Meteor." The cheers were given.
