ANXIOUS INQUIRIES FOR THE AR.
RIVAL OF THE PRINCE,
Military Mcvsment-The American Squadron
Still Watching Down tho Bay.

"Aas the Grand Duke arrived yett' This was the
question asked on all sides yesterday. sNot YETI
was the only answer. with, 1t must be admitted o
certain emphasis indicative Of disappointment. At
the rooms of the Executive Committee Major Mont
gomery had time for little else than replying TO the
hundreds OF questions prOpounded to hin. Men,
bers OF the Reception Committee were desirous OF
having the "latest information" as their wives and
daughters had In most cases completed all their
arrangements and were waiting. Officers connected
with the military are anxious TO know now soon
they Will have TO turn out on the day In question
Indeed, since the false alarm OF Monday last every
body appears 10 have been on the Qut oiCe.
AS there has been considerable discussion on
the question Of the time that will be occupied
in sailing up the bay, letter was yesterday
addressed TO Vice Admiral Rowan asking him
TO make such arrangements on the day the
Prince Is landed as Will enable the convoy
TO arrive of the Battery by two O'Clock in the
afternoon at the latest The for this request
are-nrst that otherwise the royal guest would
probably not be landed at pier No. until about
four O'Clock and then by the time the procession
mad arrived at the Clarendon 1t would be quite dark
and the most imposing part Of the programme, the
review, would OF necessity be omitted. Secondly,
on account OF the troops. AS previously published
In the HERALD, there Will be about eight thousand
men ordered to take part In the movement and
when these form In line and deploy along Broad
way, the thousands OF spectators Will assemble in
the streets and the windows OF the buildings
throughout the entire distance. General Shaler has
ordered that every regiment shall be In line pre-
c!sely at haf.past one o'clock, so that no may
meet the Views OF the Executive Commit.

would ee unfair Y a@opt the precedent
established when the Prince 81 Wales visited these
Shores ana keep the military waiting Tor hours pre-.
vious to the arrival OF tile young Russian. II the
men are ordered to be punctual 1t would he unfair
to keep them standing afterwards for any length OF
time. Besides, they would practically block the
streets the entire time and be put TO the trouble OF
resisting m excited crowd as long as they remained
In position.
IL IL arranged with superintendent Kes0 who
has shown every disposition to do whatever he can
TO ma Ike the aGair as agreeable as possible that
when the carriages containing the Prince, his suite
ON the Executive Committee arrive in Union square
q squad OF 0flcers shall stand along the curb on
the east side, be tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets, and at q preconccrtcd signal, after all the
carriages have Dcen drawn UP, open each vehicle ~
the same instant, and thus empty thcm WITHOUT
