 to See Our Sights.

 the Future.

Berlin, Jan. 17.-The Secretary of the Imperial Admiralty, Admiral von TirpItz and the chief of Emperor Williams per- sonal military stan. General von Plessen, are to accompany Prince Henry of prus- sia on the iatter's visit to the United States. N
 The other members of the Princes suite, besides vice-Admiral Baron von Secken- dorff and Adtutants von Schwfnd and won Egidy. whoss names have already been announced, will be Captain von Trotha. the Emperor's general aide-de-camp; Captain von Mueller. Commander von Grumme, who is also an aide-de-camp of the Emperor, and Staff Surgeon Reich. His Majesty definitely made these selec- tions after conference today, in which Admiral von seckendorff took part, at the old Schioss.
 Admiral von Seckendorff, in giving the these names said;
 The Emperor, personally, is making all the arrangements that can be made on this side. The details as to how Prince Henry shall spend his time in the United States are left to Secretary Hay and Dr. von Holleben, but our general idea of the dates Is this:
 We arrive on the Kron Prinz Wilhelm February 9. at New York. Prince Henry will go on board the Hohenzollern and will stay there till the launching of the Emperor's new yacht. which, we think, will probably be February 2L We go to Washington to see the President and perhaps will stop there several days Then we make the most of the next few days in seeing other cities. returning to New York for two more days before we sail for home, on the Deutschland, March g. This general design, you see, fills up about four weeks. one week in going each way and a fortn:ght iu the Upitsd States" gs s7 ssss ss endorff that two weeks was not enough for the Prince to see much of America and that he ought to spend a longer time in the United States and go West and South, to which the Admiral replied:
 Tt would be difficult for His Royal Highness to spend much longer time, though the Deutschlands sailing can be delayed day or two if it seems desir- able.
 An invitation from Chicago Is mem tioned, I see, but I am unable to say whether 1t will be accepted. That will be left to your people. Prince Henry simply wishes to spend his time as those at Washington may think to be to his best advantage He looks forward with keen interest to the trip and expects to get pleasure and instruction out of it"
 Re egret was expressed at the fact that the Emperor could not visit the United States. Y
 He would like to-" said Admiral won Seckendorff, but we cannot spare him for so long journey now"
 The Admiral was asked if it were possi- ble that the Emperor might visit the United States at some future time.
 Tt would please him greatly" answer ed von Seckendorff. Tt is not an impos- sibility."
 Admiral v0n Seckendorff visited Norfolk in 1860 on the Prussian warship Victoria, and was at San Francisco in 1872, on the old German warship Hertha, which has since been replaced by a new cruiser of the same name.
 The old Hertha was the first imperial German warship to visit the Pacific coast. She went to San Francisco after leaving Japan.
 Von Seckendorff has vivid recoIIections of San Francisco. and his fortnightly en- tertainment there.
 Emperor William has ordered the Ho- henzollern to be fitted out with all the accessories when His Majesty is on board the yacht.
 The Lokal Anzeiger today prints the following:
 Emperor William has commissioned Prince Henry to meet the prominent New York yachtsnlen and invite them to par ticipate in the Kiel regattas, beginning June S. Prince Henry will also ask the President to permit the United States Mediterranean squadron to be present at kiel during the regatta week, so that American seamen may participate in the barge races Prince Henry bears a val, uable present from Emperor William for Miss Roosevelt
