 Great Surprise.

Berlin, January %. When Emperor William bids Prince Henry farewell prior to the latter's departure for the United States their parting will be simple pri- vate affair. The leave-taking will assume the form of military act, in which an officer receives the last instructions from his sovereign before going on an import ant mission. It is undestood that His Majesty will give Prince Henry written memoranda of what he wishes his royal brother to communicate to President Roosevelt.
 Prince Henry, who is now here, will re- turn to Kiel February and remain there till he goes to Bremen to embark for the United States. The various members of the prince's party will assemble at Ere men on February 14. The sailing Of Prince Henry will not be marked by any special ceremony. It is still possible, how ever, that Emperor William will disre- gard the programme and bid farewell to his brother in a more public manner at Bremen.
 The dinner to be given in Prince Hem rvs honor under the auspices of the New York Staats Zeitung to the press of the United States Is the feature Of the princes diversion which is attracting the most attention here Prince Henry him. self asked particularly about this feat ure of the programme, and when told that some of the editors would probably travel 5000 miles to be present he ex- pressed wonder.

 Dr. Earth in the National Zeitung rec ognizes the great services of the United States ambassador here. Andrew D.. White, in preventing misunderstanding between the two countries. He says:
 MT Whites political work has not been in vain. Prince Henry's visit is an i'm pressive manifestation of the German Empires desire to cherish its friend ship for the American republic
 The German foreign office admits the legitimacy of the United States claim in behalf of Dr. Tenny's college at Tien Tsin and has notified Secretary Hay that Germany will pay proper indemnity and turn over to the college authorities certain machinery and equipment now in the possession of the German military authorities who are taking the best care of them till new quarters can be obtain ed for the military.
 The newspapers say that Herr Ballin a director of the Hamburg-American line, and Dr.. Wiegand of the North Ger man Lloyd Steamship Company, before entering into negotiations with MT. Nor gan will demand pledge that the Am erican capitalists will abstain from buy ing more of the shares of the Hamburg American, and the North German-Lloyd companies.
 They will, it Is said. also propose that only German vessels shall take freight from German ports, for which monopoly they are willing to pay MT Morgan a certain per centage on the business, a fixed sum, or perhaps avoid competing with some of MT. Morgan's English lines.
 The Krenz Zeitung this afternoon ex- presses grave fear for the German iron industry.
