PRINCE HENRY.

ternoon, but this was omitted, and the official calls of the commandant of the navy yard and the commander of the military department of the east on Governors Island were returned. Prince Henry was then brought back on the tug Nina to the HohenZOllern, where he dined. and in the evening visited the club rooms of the Deutsch- CT Verein, which had reception ill his honor
 The reception, so far as the navy was concerned, was perfect in it's ceremonious detail. but there was one unfortunate blunder as the royal wis., itor stepped across the threshold of the new world. Through some mis- understanding the German ambassa- dor did not greet the prince until af- ter the representatives of the Amer jean army and navy, and this being contrary to usage, caused q slight em- barrassment. Still it went unob- served except by the close sticklers for royal etiquette The picturesque and impressive part of the reception was the greeting down the sun kissed waters of the bay, when the guns of Fort Hamilton thundered out their welcome, and the rails and tops and turrets of the American ships were manned bv the Yankee tars.
 Washington, Feb 24.-Prince Henry arrived in Washington at 1O:20 this morning. He was met by Secretaries Hay and Long and Count Quadt and two other attaches of the German em- bassy. Ten minutes later he left for the White House.
 Washington. Feb 24-It has been the presidents wish that avoiding all os- tentatiOn, the prince be given a cordial welcome, and this plan has been car ried out. The prince has met the pres ident and the welcome he received was genuinely hearty. and he in turn showed the unmistakable evidence of pleasure it gave him to meet the pres ident. At 1O:45 the escorting cavalry column swung through the east gate and at a lively pace passed up the broad driveway to the White House. The Second regiment, U. $. A.. and a detachment of marines were a part of the escorting column. The marines headed by their famous marine band. In the first carriage were the prince. Secretary Hay and Rear Admiral Evans. They drove up at q rapid pace and the Marine band struck up the German national air, which was con. tinued until all the company left the carriages.
 Baltimore. Feb 24-The princes stay in Baltimore was necessarily very brief The train arrived at 9 o'clock and was met at the Union station By the mayor of Baltimore and an escort of twenty-four promipe1It citizens. Two hundred members of the various Ger man singing societies were also admit ted to the station, but none of the crowd which congregated in the streets was allowed to approach the special train- Prince Henry came out of his apartment in the rear of the long train and Mayor Hayes was presented to him by Mir Won Lingen, the German consul at this point The mayor said. sIt is sny duty and pleasure to extend 10 you. on behalf of the people of Bal timore, a cordial and sincere welcome.
