be Lasting.
 Cuxhaven, March 1S.--The Hamburg American line steamer Deutschland ar
 rived here at o'clock this evening, having on board Admiral Prince Henry
 of Prussia and his suite. The Deutsch- land was met in the roadstead by the German battleship Kaiser Wilhelm H.,
 on board of which was Emperor Will
 liam. His majesty greeted Prince Hen ry cordially. The prince board the bat tleship, which afterwards started for KieI.
 AS the Deutschland drew near to CuXhaven Prince Henry received the correspondent of the Associated Press in his cabin. The prince said:
 T desire to send last word through you to America to say how deeply grateful I am for the measureless kind ness received while there. I tried to say this before left but I want to say again that I am grateful for the cordial and generous manner in which the peo- pie and the president of the United States received me.
 T met and talked with as many fn- dividuals as I could but of course l saw most of the people in crowds, and some times only from the railroad car plat form, and only long enough to touch my cap or take off my hat to them l wish to thank all those thousands for the trouble they took"
 The prince spoke with feeling. II had no opportunity, he continued, "of studying the details of industry as I would have liked
 As to the fatigue of the trip the prince said: "I was often tired and had to be careful of what I said, both pub licly and privately. I saw and heard so much that l was tometmes tired out, but since my long sleeps on board the Deutschland I would be ready to return o> America at once for just such an- other trip. This one has been so full of pleasure and instruction. It is a good thing to look upon another people face to face and form your own impres- sions."
 Concerning his speech in Philadelphia Prince Henry said:
 '1t seemed proper I should make some such utterance for there are all ways some under currents running that have to be taken into account. What I said in my Philadelphia speech was pre- cisely the truth. It might have been thought that during my talks with President Roosevelt, and my ride with him alone I might have said word or two of political character. but such was not the case. No political topic was alluded to on either side"
 Prince Henry referred to President Roosevelt's attention. and said he had not received the presidents farewell telegram as he was by that time at sea, and that he only saw the text of the message upon his arrival at Plymouth
 The interest Emperor William takes in Prince Henry's trip was then men 1 toned. In this connection Prince Hen ry said to the correspondent: T shall l tell his majesty exactly what I have | told you namely, how I appreciate the | kindness shown me by the people of | America. I wish to add a special word | of thanks for the sympathetic way in | which the American papers treated | me-"
 In conclusion the emperor's brother said: You may be sure the impress sions I received will be lasting
 Prince Henry, who looked thoroughly | rested, wore a dark blue yachting suit with the Kiel Yacht club buttons. Be- fore disembarking from the Deutsch- land, Prince Henry again thanked Cap tain Albers for the comfort and kind ness he had experienced on board the vessel and paid high compliment to the ship and the seamanlike qualities shown in running her.
 The prince presented a signed proto- graph of himself and scarf pins sur by crowns to Captain Albers, the first officer of the Deutschland and to Chief Engineer Barends. When the last mentioned came forward to receive his two gifts. Prince Henry said he was especially glad to meet him, as he had heard of his bravery in saving twenty seven lives on the steamer during the Hoboken fire of June 30, 1900, and that neither Germany nor the United States " ould forget the chief engineers ac- ion.
