Henry's special train reached, this city late
tonight after a long run from Milwaukee.
around Chicago. through Toledo. Cleveland.
Erie. Dunkirk. Buffalo. along the banks Of
Niagara and through Rochester. The train
used the tracks Of the Lake Shore and the
New York Central on the run from Chicago
and fast time was made until the flooded
district of New York State was reached.
The prince slept all the way across In
diana and did not awaken until the noise
of a band at Toledo disturbed his rest. He
was very tired when he entered his private
at Milwaukee late last night. The prince

as one did this morning when the train
rolled into the station at Toledo.
The demonstrations in honor OF the
princely traveller to-day were just as
hearty and cordial as those in the German
ized city Of Milwaukee yesterday, but no
sreeches in German were fired at him and
his Highness was not compelled to use his
mother tongue to make himself under

dresses OF welcome Perhaps the most in
teresting incident Of the day was the visit
TO Niagara falls where the prince saw a
worlds wonder in all its winter glory He
expressed himself as we'll pleased at the
sight. While on the Canadian side of
Niagara he was presented with an address
from the Ontario Parliament.
MUCH IMPRESSED.
The ice bridge was a marvel to all the
German visitors. The prince viewed the
horseshoe falls from Table Rock, the
American falls from the ledge over the
whirlpool on the Canadian shore. rode
down the gorge 10 a point below the lower
whirlpool. and there inspected the plant
of the Niagara Power Company. which
converts the force of nature TO the pur-
poses OF commerce. He was much i'm
pressed by the falls, and as he stood on
Table Rock looking across at the horse
shoe. he said cit is magnificent: ii is
grand" He was much impressed also by
the swirling rapids down in the gorge and
when he left his car at the whirlpool he
stood for several minutes watching the
tumbling of the waters.
The people of Toledo were anxious to
greet the prince this morning and nearly
2.Ooo of them were at the depot at 6:2O
o'clock when the special came in and
stopped. They had a band and two big
bouquets and were all ready 10 extend the
hospitable hand. They had telegraphed TO
the prince. asking for a chance TO meet
him. but the telegram had miscarried and
the prince was sleeping unconscious Of the
reception. The band awakened him. but il
was too late then 70 get up The bouquets
were thrown aboard and later i'm the morn

prince There was another crowd at San

again. and did not come out He has

last night. but the long refreshing sleep
which he got completely restored him.
AT Cleveland there was a friendly demon
stration. Here Peter Karpp. formerly a
Dugler in the German army. climbed into
the for reunion with the prince.
which greatly pleased both. Karpp was a
sailor with Prince Henry back in 1877 and
they were shipmates for more than two
years. The prince recognized him at once
and taking him by the hand led him into
the car. They talked over the old days
while a crowd looked on with approval
AT Erie. Pa, was great crowd. Women
and children were wedged in against the
train and the effort 10 check the swirling
crowd which pressed in from the rear was
useless. Several women tainted and any
body near the center OF the crowd was sub
mitted 10 dangerous pressure. Mrs Harriet

All through the morning as the train ran
through a corner OF Pennsylvania and put
into the State OF New York there Were
crowds at the stations anxious TO see the
prince and tender assurances OF friend.
