SHORT STEPS AT VARIOUS
CITIES ON THE ROUTE.

ONcINNATL o., March 1.-Prinee
Henry of Prussia traversed the
states OF Maryland. Pennsylvania
and Ohio today and tonight his special
train is speeding through Kentucky
into Tennessee, with the battehelds
around Chattanooga as its final south
ern goal He stopped for formal recep-
lions at Altoona, Pitts5urg, Columbus
and Cincinnati, but the welcome ex-
tened to him was not limited to those
places. Everywhere along the line aft
er daylight came, and until long after
darkness, the people gathered at the
stations 90 cheer him as he Speeded
along.
Lhe storm that sweIed the rivers 10
the danger point had passed away and
he saw a zone of three states in bright
sunlight. He saw a stretch OF fifty
miles of the Allegheny mountains from
the cab Of an engine and most Of 1t
was down grade at speed that
thrilled.
The train had lost two hours at Por-
tage by reason Of a wreck to the west
ward of thai point and when the
special got a clear track again an at
tempt was made to win back the time
that had been lost. At times the
sLaying engine was running sixty
miles an hour, and when the prince left
the cab he was almost as grimy as the
engineer
When not rezDon ding to the reception
he was busy sightseeing and study
ing a map which had been set up in
his car. He asked many questions as
10 the industries of Pennsylvania and
Ohio and made extended notes on the
margin of the map. He was enthusiast
tic over the events of the day and 1t
was late in the afternoon when he re-
tired TO rest before giving the evening
receptions. He dineG at o'clock in the
evening and while he and his guests
were at the table the speed Of the train
was cut down 30 forty miles an houS.
His guests at dinner were Admiral
Evans, Ambassador Won Holleben, Ma
iOr General COrbin, Assistant Secretary
of State Hill, Carl Pollier, German
consul at Cincinnati; Superintendent
Ralph Peters, OF the Panhandle and
Lieutenant Commander Won Egidy.
The prince left the dining table to
acknowledge the cheers of a small
crowd that had gathered about water
tar koutside Of XeniR. They numbered
less than fifty but when the prince
heard thar they wanted to see him, he
the rear platform. He bowed TO the
little crowd and then waved his napkin,
which he had carried out with him.
Much of the time lost at Portage,
Pa, was made up in Ohio, and unless
there are unforeseen delays the train
viii regain its position on the schedule
during The night.
Going aintO Pittsburg this morning
and whenever there were stretches Of
good running Engineer GiIchrist let his
big engine out The highest speed at
tanned was about sixty miles an hour
and the ride which the prince got
down through the foothills in the huge
swaying engine was an exciting one
At a speed Of forty miles an hour the
train cleared JOhnstOwn and the crowd
that waited at the depot in two long
lines on either side of the track got but
a short view Of it. At Brandensville
the train was stopped and the prince
with cinder-maTked face and begrimed
hands returned 70 his car to dress for
the reception at Pittsburg.
As he returned to the car he laughed
et the sport of his ride through The
mountains and said that he had had a
splendid time. He donned his uniform
as admiral and the members of his
suite and military and naval members
Of tne American escort also put on their
uIo rms. No other stops We're made
or LHe way TO Pittsburg.
Al Pittsburg the prince was greeted
by brass band and the German sing
ing society OF Allegheny county. Fully
10000 people lined the boulevard and
streets about the station. Prince Henry
was presented with a large floral token
and an address was handed 10 him.
