HENRY CAUSES WONDER
DEMOCRATIC MANNER AMAzEs
 THE GER1GANS.
Incident of the Governor of Minne- sota and the Prince of Prussia Has occasioned Great
 Amazement.

Berlin, March s.-A progressive news paper that usually is not a particular sdmirer of monarchy, finds compliments for the way in which Prince Henry of Prussia has pleased the Americans. pr. Earth, editor of The Nation. says: 'He has acted as a free, modern man among free men. without trace of that narrow souled haughtiness which junketerdom regards as the indispensable etiquette of rank"
 Prince Henry's tact and good sense are praised here by all the political groups except the Socialists who continue their unpleasant criticism averring that his reception was simply wealth prostrating itself before inherited rank" The Princes democratic ways are looked upon with wonder by a society which regards the person of a Hohenzollern as something almost sacred. It cannot be understood here how the Prince could shake hands with unknown and obscure persons. The incident of the Governor of Minnesota tapping Prince Henry on the shoulder ana speaking familiariy to him ts related with absolute amazement. Yet, there IS not the least CTltlClSIH Ok AIuCAkCoh Ahdh- ners. such things being treated as quite proper under a republic.
 Not one of the papers assume that the journey will have great political conse- qnuences, but nearly all of them agree that 1t will cause a permanent and more kindly feeling between the two peoples. Some of the old journalistic enemies of the United States. however. find 1t diff ficult to restrain themselves The Kreu1 Zeitung grants that the demonstrations are immense and that America never does anything in a small way, but the paper adds: Everything runs into the gigan- tic. Nothing more Is really demanded. Caring nothing for the intrinsic charac- ter of the achievements the only requi. site is to strike the eye and make impos- ing appearances. No deeper examination Is made"
 The editor thinks this Is due to "the democratic conditions where the crowd decides and transient moods control poli- Itics. Hence superficiality and faith in the
 appearance of things everywhere pre- vails."
 Prince Henry's home coming is begin ming to to be anticipated. He will dis embark at CIxhaven, where, it is said. Emperor William will welcome him. The

 wagons carrying it were made specially for us and were painted in the German
 colors, the drivers wearing a German livery. You would scarcely believe what the people offer us." ... The United States Abmasador. Andrew D. White, has gone to the Riviera for six weeks with his wife and daughter.
