PRINCE HENRY SAILS
THE KRONPRINZ SENDS WIRE
LESS DISPATCH TO LIZARD.
All the Conditions Favorable for a
Pleasant and Speedy Voyage
Across Atlantic.

A dispatch from Southampton yesterday
says: The Kronprinz Wilhelm arrived here
this morning. Prince Henrys voyage to
England was uneventful. The Kronprinz
Wilhelm proceeded slowly from Bremerha-
ven down the Weser under cloudless sky
and amid cheers from the people lining
the shore. The prince and his suite walked
upon the upper deck with some or the
other passengers. Later Prince Henry
proceeded to the bridge, where he held
long conversation with the captain Of the
steamer, and showed the greatest interest
in all the details of the ship.
The prince with his suite, appeared at
dinner occupying a table in an alcove of
the general saloon. During the meal the
band played German and American airs.
The princes table naturally attracted the
undivided attention Of the other passengers,
but Prince Henry did not seem to mind
this. After dinner the prince spent an hour
in the smoking room.
He was up early this morning walking
the deck In the course of a conversation
today he again expressed the pleasure he
feels at visiting the United States, and
added:
why the last man I shook hands with
on German ground was an American, the
Berlin correspondent Of the Associated
Press
At about 1890 this morning the Isle of
Wight and the forts of Portsmouth were
sighted. 1t day of glorious sunshine.
With the band playing and with flags fly
| ing, the steamer made her way up South
ampton waters to the dock. Here the
North German Lloyd Steamship Company,
contrary to the desire of Prince Henry,
had taken the most elaborate precautions.
The special train from London, carrying
passengers for the kronprinz Wilhelm, ar
rived at Southampton at 30. but was
not allowed to proceed to the dock until
the steamship bearing Prince Henry had
been made fast. AT l o'clock the dock
swarmed with policemen and detectives
and the steamship tickets of the Southamp-
ton passengers were repeatedly ScrutiniZed.
Prince Henry remained on the bridge Of
the steamer until the members of the Ger
man embassy at London, who came down
here to welcome him. went on board. He
then received them in his saloon. The
KronprinZ Wilhelm sailed for Cherbourg at
3 o'clock this afternoon. Among her pas
sengers are George and Allison Armour. Sir
Charles Gust, Spencer Eddy, first secretary
of the American legation at Constantinople
and Miss Catherine Eddy, his sister, and
Mrs. Moreton Frewen, sister Of Mrs. Corn
wallis-West.
A dispatch from Cherbourg last night
says: The Kronprinz Wilhelm arrived in the
rcadstead at $40 o'clock this evening after
a pleasant passage from Southampton. The
weather was splendid. and there was no
wind. The steamer stayed here but short
time, during which the band played various
selections The Kronprinz Wilhelm resumed
her journey for New York at 0 o'clock.
LONDON, February IA message
transmitted by the Marconi wireless sys-
tenn from the KronprinZ Wilhelm. When
that steamer was ninety miles off the Liz
ard, reported "All WE'LL weather fine, sea
smooth"
The Kronprinz Wilhelm, to equal her best
record, the time Of which was five days
fifteen hours and fOrty-fve minutes made
on December % last, should be sighted off
Fire Island between and o'clock Satur-
day morning, February %, and arrive at
the Sandy Hook lightship at 7:45 o'clock
If she should arrive at this time she would
dock at about 10 o'clock. This time. how
ever, is approximate, as the sailing from
Cherbourg is probably given from her
departure in the harbor Records are
calculated from Cherbourg Mole. Her time
of passing Cherbourg Mole would probably
be half an hour later.
Captain Benjamin Parker who will COM
mand the emperor Of Germany's new
yacht Meteor Ill, on her completion, ar
rived in New York yesterday. Captain
Parker was accompanied by his brother
and mother, William Parker and Mrs. L.
Parker. Captain Parker is considered one
Of the most expert yachtsmen of England.
For many years he sailed the German en-
peror's old yacht. the Meteor, and won
many races with her In 1899 he was en-
gagged by Sir Thomas Upton, with Cap
tains Hogarth and Wringe, to take charge
Of the Shamrock l In her races here.
Thousands crossed the North river to
Hoboken to take a look at the imperial

sands travelled from New Jersey towns with
the same object in view. but owing to the
iron-clad arrangements only a small num-
ber managed to get aboard.
