RETTRN OF PRINCE.
A Flying Trip From Milwaukee to
 Niagara

CulcdgO 10 Niagara Falls yesterday, crossed the Canadian frontier for a brief stay, to which he was officially welcomed by the Dominion, and last night resumed his journey to Boston over the New York Central line. His longest stop in almost thirty hours of continuous travelling was at Niagara falls, which he saw bridged in with the Ice Of winter. He viewed the Horse shoe falls from Table Rock, the Amer 1can falls from the ledge over the Whirlpool on the Canadian shore, rode down the gorge to q point below the lower whirlpool and fhen inspected the plant of the Niagara Power company, which converts the force of nature to the purpose of commerce. He was much impressed by the falls and as he stood on Table Rock looking across at the Horseshoe said: Tt is magnificent. It is grand" He was greatly i'm pressed by the swirling rapids down in the gorge, and when he left his car at the whirlpool he stood for several minutes watching the play on the wa ter.
 The special train had covered the distance between Milwaukee and Chi cago, crossed Indiana and was well on it's way over Ohio before Prince Henry arose. He was worn out when he left Milwaukee and did not respond to the demonstrations made by the people of Toledo and Sandusky.
 At Cleveland there was friendly demonstration and Peter Karpp, for .merly bugler in the German army, climbed into the car for reunion that was pleasant on both sides. Peter Karpp had been q sailor with Prince Henry back in 1877. and they were shipmates for more than two years.
 At Erie, Pa, there was crowd that made the most dangerous jam of the entire journey. Women and children were wedged in against the train, and the effort to check the swirling crowd that pressed in from the rear was use- less. Several women fainted, and any, body anywhere near the center of the crowd was submitted to dangerous pressure. Mrs. Harriet Gridley and Miss Gridley, widow and daughter of Captain c. V. Gridley, the man who fought on the Olympia at Manila Bay, were received on the train by Admiral Evans, who went to the Naval academy with the dead captain, and were pre- scented to the prince.
 All through the morning as the train ran through corner of Pennsylvania and out into the state of New York there were crowds at the stations anx- ious to see the prince and tender as- surances of friendship. Dunkirk had it's band out, and at Buffalo Mayor Knight welcomed the prince and the local German singing societies sang. It was 2:45 o'clock when the special ar rived at Buffalo, and fifteen minutes later it was steaming out to Niagara Falls. At Niagara Falls station the prince was met by Mayor Butler and large reception committee and formally welcomed to the city.
 When Mayor Butler concluded, pr. William Snyder spoke in behalf of the Germans of the city.
 The prince did not make speech i'll response but thanked both of them for their greeting. The prince was then driven to the Canadian side, accompa- nied by mounted escort made up of local militia officers. Midway on the bridge that spans the rapids the prince was met by the men who spoke for the Canadian government and people. Ma jor F. $. Maude, military secretary for Lord NIinto, governor general of Cana da, presented the formal greeting of his chief, and the Hon. R. Harcourt, minister of education for Ontario, de- livered the addresses passed by the legislature of Ontario.
 At 6 o'clock the prince was back aboard his train and fifteen minutes later departed for Boston. George H. Daniels, general passenger agent of the New York Central, joined the special at Buffalo and will go through with it to Boston and New York He was pre- sented to the prince.
 Fully 20,OOO people crowded the train shed and depot of the New York Gen. tral and additional thousands lined the tracks for blocks east and west of the station or took up positions of vantage on roofs and in windows of tall build ings when, at S:25, the arrival of Prince Henry's special train in this city was announced by the firing of bomb at the end of the farmhouse.
 Immediately red fire on the tops of hundreds of buildings burst forth, searchlights pointed out the American and German flags suspended from kites in midair, and five minutes later amidst grand pyrotechnic display the train bearing the royal visitor drew slowly into the crowded train shed.
 AS the train pulled into the station the Fifty-fourth regiment band played Die Yacht am Rhein," and salute
 of twenty-one guns was fired, but the
 balance of the programme was not car ried out as had been planned.
