PRINCE ElENRY's MISSION.
Berlin, Feb. 1.-THE Cologne Ga
zette devotes lengthy editorial to
the departure of Prince Henry on his
visit to the United StateS. 1t says:
prince Henry goes to express the
emperor's great sympathies with the
racially related American people and
his frank recognition of their healthy
and powerful development. The great
masses of the German people share
with their ruler in that sympathy and
recognition. Prince Henry is in Ger
many popular parsonage and his SUI
bordinates would go through fire for
him. The German people are attached
with pride and reverence to the prince
admiral.
Emperor William has followed the
splendid development of American
shipbuilding with the liveliest inter-
est. There is no yacht swift enough
for him and he has repeatedly given
commissions to German and British
builders to make him swift sailing
yacht and has now commissioned an
American yard to do the work, in the
conviction that Americans build the
best of which marine architecture is
capable. His majesty, free from envy,
pays this high tribute to American in
dustry and it is proof that he yields
the palm to American builders. He

Emperor William has ordered that
brief report of the visit be cabled to
him daily. He has also ordered Prince
Henry to write a detailed report of his
experience and observation during the
trip. Prince Henry will begin the re.
port during his voyage and will de-
liver it to the emperor upon his re-
turn.
