AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Prince Henry Visited tho President MondnJ
Afternoon ana Was Guest &c Dinner
In the Evening.

Washington, Feb. 25.-Prince Henry
arrived in Washington Mt 1920 yes
terday morning. He was met by Sec.
retaries Hay and Long, Count Quadf
and two other attaches of the German
embassy. Ten minutes later he left
for the white house. Intermingled
with the crowd at the depot was q
small army of secret service men, de-
tectives and policemen. Special pre-.
cautions had been taken to insure
the safety of the prince and his cor
tege and to keep the people from
pressing closely upon the party at
any stage of its journey through the
public places in the city.
Arriving ut the white house the
party was conducted through the
main lobby into the red parlor, thence
into the east room and from there
the prince was conducted through the
green room to the blue parlor, where
the president was in waiting to re.
ceive him. In conformity with diplo.
matte etiquette the president received
the royal visitor in private and with.
out introduction. This was made
necessary by the fact that there is
now in the United States no repre-.
sentative of the German nation Of
sufficient high rank to present to the
president prince of the royal blood,
a brother and personal representative
of the German emperor.
The prince was warmly greeted
when he visited the senate and house
or representatives in the afternoon.
He not only saw the houses of the
American congress at work, but in
the senate he witnessed one of those
intensely dramatic moments which
occasionally come in that body at the
conclusion of great debate.
The dinner given to Prince Henry
by President Roosevelt at the white
house last night closed the honors
bestowed on the royal visitor by Off
cial Washington yesterday. The af-
fair was on an elaborate scale and
brought together q most distin-
guished company.

from Big Guns ON Land

New York, Feb. 24.-Prince Henry
of Prussia reached New York yester-
day and was cordially welcomed as q
guest Of the nation. The land bat
teries that guard the outer harbor
sounded the first greeting in pom
derous salute of 81 guns, the rifles of

ment; there were verbal greetings
from the representatives of President
Roosevelt, the army, the navy and the
city Of New York, and great crowd
lined the way into the city to see and
cheer the sailor prince of Germany.
Rear Admiral Robley ID. Evans,
commander of the special squadron
and honorary aide to the prince, left
the flagship Illinois at 9:4o o'clock in
the naval tug Nina. The Nina met
tho Kron Prinz beyond Fort Wads-
worth and, swinging around on the
starboard side of the liner, steamed
up the bay. Prince Henry, attired in

BY A STRICT PARTY VOTE.
Senate Passed the Philippine Tariff Bill
Tillman and McLaur,n Not Allowed
to Partlc pate.

Washington, Feb. 25.-After eight
hours of tumultuous debate yester-
day the senate shortly before seven
o'clock in the evening passed the Phil
ippine tariff bill by vote of 46 to 20,
a strictly party vote. Senator Till
man and Senator McLaurin, the two
senators from South Carolina, who
on Saturday last were declared by the
senate to be in contempt because of
their fight in the chamber, were not
permitted by voice or by vote to par
ticipate in the proceedings. The
question as to their right to vote pre-
cipitated sharp debate, lasting near
ly two hours. The president pro tem.,
Senator Frye, held that the two sem
ators could not vote and he was sus-
tanned by a majority of the senate.
During the debate on the Philippine
bill Senator McComas and Senator
Wellington, of Maryland, became in
volved in a controversy, during the
course of which the latter declared
that if Senator McComas should
make his statements outside of the
senate chamber he would brand them
as a malicious falsehood. He was
called to order promptly and resumed
his seat amid considerable excite
ment.

IN A STATE OF TERROR.
Incendlaries Use Dynamite to Get RID OF
Assay OfBces In the Cripple Creek
Mining District

Victor, Col, Feb. 25.-Cripple Creek
is in q state of terror owing to a
preconcerted attack upon oil the lead
ing assay offices doing business in
the district. Beginning at three
o'clock Sunday morning and follow
ing in rapid succession six explosions
wrecked as many assay Offices in the
centers, ranging from Victor to Grip
pie Creek and up to Goldfeld. In
every instance the object sought by
the incendiaries was accomplished by
the destruction of the offices with
their fine equipment of delicate bal
ances. The raiders did not hesitate
to jeopardize life as all but one Of
the buildings were also occupied by
sleeping families. AS it was, men,
women and children were hurled out
of their beds by the shocks and Sc
rious injuries inflicted. The full ex-
tent Of the damage cannot now be
estimated.

naval and military staff in brilliant
uniform, stood on the bridge of the
liner. As the two vessels with q flo
tilla of tugs and official craft moved
in past Fort Wadsworth the first of
tho salutes Of 81 guns was fred. As
the first gun sounded the prince adj
vanced to the end of the bridge Of
the Kron Prinz Wilhelm and stood at
attention. AS he passed the big
American flag floating over the forti-
cation he raised his cap in salute and
tho member of his suite did likewise.
The flag at the jackstaff of the Kron
Prinz was dipped and the German
naval band accompanying the prince
played "The Star Spangled Banner"
The guns of Fort Wadsworth were
not silent before those across the mar
rows at Fort Hamilton doomed out
their salute. When that ceremony
was over the Kron Prinz was stopped
and the Nina hauled around to her
port side and Admiral Evans and his
staff boarded her. Admiral Evans
was escorted forward at once and in
the quarters of Capt. A. Richter, mas
ter of the Kron Prinz, he and the
prince met. The prince came forward
and, taking the hand of the naval off,
Ger, shook it warmly.
Prince Henry disembarked at 1855
p. m, at that moment walking down
the decorated gangway from the Kron
Prinz Wilhelm into the deliberately
decorated pier. He then passed
through an ornamental gangway and
arch to the gangplank Of the Hohen-
zollern, which had been decorated in
the German colors and was covered
half its length. The prince was met
at the bottom of the gangplank by
Admiral Won Baudissin, commander
Of the Hohenzollern, and his officers.
About an hour was spent by the
prince in receiving his callers and
then followed o lunch, after which
the prince announced to his guests
that he would repay at once all his
official visits. He told Admiral Evans
he would be glad to see the latest
built battleship of the American navy.

New York, Feb. 26.-The all-impor-

chain. Dashing the bottle against the
side of the vessel with vigorous and
effective hand, the wine breaking into
spray, Miss Roosevelt said in English;
"In the name of the German emperor
I christen thee Meteor" Her voice
was loud and clear and could be dis
tinctly heard on all the surrounding
platform. Then she raised silver
AK and severed the rope holding the
weight which kept the ship in the
ways and the vessel went gracefully
into the water.

the noise of the gun was lost in that
resulting from the roar of human
voices, aided by the royal German
band, the naval militia band and sew
eral bands on board the various YES
sells surrounding the island, whose
occupants were not privileged to land.
Every hat was raised and then there
was cheer after cheer for the presi-
dent, the prince and Miss Roosevelt.
Soon after the launching the presi-
Dental party and the prince proceed
ed to the hall where luncheon had
been prepared. The health of the
prince was drunk and then Prince
Henry said: "On this occasion wish
to call for three hearty cheers for
the president of the United States,
Mr.. Roosevelt, hip, hip, hoorah." As
the prince spoke he waived his arms
as a signal and the building shook
with responding cheers. Then Presi-
dent Roosevelt raised his right hand
and when there was silence said: 81
ask three cheers for the guest who
has already won our hearts, Henry
of Prussia. Now a good one."
President Roosevelt's hip, hip,
hoorah was drowned in the roar Of
applause that greeted the call for
cheers. Then the prince and presi-
dent shook hands warmly and as the
party started to leave the hall some
one among the invited guests shout
ed: "Mr. President, I offer three
cheers for the young lady who has
had the honor of launching the
Meteor" The cheers were given.
The presidential party and the prince
and his suite then left for the Hohen-
