Chicago, March 5.-The Chicago
which Prince Henry Of Prussia saw
by the glare of many lights upon his
arrival was presented to him during
the day by the clearer light of the
sun. The welcome he received then
was repeated and emphasized and he
was given further opportuI1ry to enjoy
his expressed desire of meeting Amer
lean citizens at close range. During
the day he listened to an address from
the Central Brnd of st. Paul, placed
a wreath on the Lincoln monument in
Lincoln park and enjoyed a luncheon
and reception at the Germania club.

Governor Van SAINT was the first detail
of the days official programme. The
prince received the governor and the

would prize the address very highly
as another of the expressions of good
wishes that had come to him every
where as the ambassador of his
brother, the emperor.
BY IL o'clock all those who were to
accompany the prince during the day
assembled at the Auditorium. With
out delay the party entered the car
riages awaiting to convey it to Lincoln
park and the Germania club. In the
carriage with the prince were Mayor
Harrison, Rear admiral Evans and ex-
Secretary of War Robert T. Lincoln.
In nearly every door and window
along the streets where the prince
passed were curious faces. Handker-
chiefs were waved at him from the
windows and the crowds along the
streets shouted a greeting. The prince
was kept busy touching his cap in re-
sponse. Rear Admiral Evans was
also the recipient of considerable at
tention. While decorations along the
route We're not profuse, they were suf-
ficiently in evidence to give the streets

were numerous pictures of the prince
in the windows
A dense crowd numbering thousands
was crushed about the statue of the
great emancipation when the prince
and his encourage came upon the
scene. Tightly stretched ropes sur
rounded the statue to keep back the
crowd and circle of policemen dis
couraged the attempts of the venture
some who would have encroacfed on
the ground reserved for his highness.
Amidst profound silence the prince as
cended the steps of the stone enclo-
sure and laid at the feet of the image
of the martyred president the
Laurel Token Of Respect.
The ceremony lasted but a few mo-
ments. The prince and his official
party quickly re-entered their car
rfages and started at brisk trot for
the Germania club, only a short block
distant.

brother.

house by Gustav F. Fischer, president
of the club. The broad stairway lead
