Cleveland, O., March 5.-Prince Hen
ry was too tired to appear for any o.
the receptions informally endered u
him by the cities through which nt
passed early Wednesday morning II
northwestern Ohio, until his arrival
in Cleveland at 9:10. He retired Tues
day night, quite fatigued. after a day
that had many demands upon MIN
and slept through until late Wednes-
day morning. His train, which left
Milwaukee at 10:10 o'clock Tuesday
night, wal transferred, at Chicago,
shortly before midnight, to the tracks
of the Lake Shore e. Michigan South
ern, and left at once for Cleveland,
Buffalo and Niagara. The people OF
Toledo were anxious to greet the
prince, and nearly two thousand of
them were at the depot at $50 o'clock
when the special came in and
stopped. They had a band and two
big bouquets, and were all ready to
extend the hospitable hand. They
had ~telgraphed to the prince asking
for a chance to meet him, but the teE

was sleeping, unconscious of the re-
ception. The band awakened him, but
it was too late then to get up. The
bouquets were thrown aboard, and
later in the morning the trainmen
presented them to the prince. There
was another crowd at Sandusky, but
the prince had fallen asleep again,
and did not come out. He has stood
his rapid, trying swing through the
country much better than many of
his escort, and it we'll and strong.
He was tired Tuesday night. but
the long, refreshing sleep which he
got completely restored him. There
has been some apprehension aboard
the train about possible delay in New
York, on account of the floods, and it
has been partially decided that if the
train can not be put on the routes
mapped cut without extended delay,
it will be transferred to one of the
southern lines. .
Thousands of people forced their
way through the gates at the union
station when the train bearing the
prince and his party arrived in this
city. Rear-Admiral Evans was the
first person to appear on the car
platform. He was cheered wildly by
the crowd, most of whom recognized
the naval hero.
In the absence of the Mayor John
son, acting Mayor Beacon appeared
at the side of Prince Henry's car and
was invited to enter. Mr.. Beacon in
formed PRINCE Henry hat the people
of Cleveland were very much disap-
pointed in not being able to have the
honor of his presence here for a long
period. He said that the city was
made up largely of German-Ameri-
cans, all of whom had been enthusi-
astic for giving him a reception.
Prince Henry expressed his gratitude
for the kind words, and said he re-
GREETED that a longer stop had not
been arranged.
Mr.. Beacon, at the request of the
crowd, urged him to appear upon the
platform and make a brief address.
At this juncture, n former valet to
Prince Henry, or n German war ship,
appeared. and informed the secret
service detectives that he had served
directly under the royal prince for a
long time on a German man-of-war.
Send him in said Prince Henry,
when informed of the mans pres
ence.
The prince recognized him imme-
diately. and there was a h~andshak-
ing. Prince Henry entered into many
details in his life since he had served
upon his ship and the conversation
lasted for several minutes. Prince
Henry then stepped out upon the car
platform. Cheer after cheer rang
out from the crowd, followed by calls
for a speech.
The prince smiled and bowed, but
pointed to his throat and remarked.
that he was too hoarse to attempt to
deliver a speech.
After a stop of Is minutes the
train pulled out for the east, at 9:25,
followed by tremendous cheers from
the crowd, which the prince acknowl-
