for the launch.

Invitations for the Prince.
Pressure rs being brought to bear by
nearly all the large cities of the country to
obtain the presence therein Of Prince
Henry. and the present indications are that
after the conclusion of the launching cere-
monies the prince will make rapid tour
through the country, going far west as
st. Louis. Ex-Gov. Francis of Missouri is
earnestly advocating the arrangement of
such an itinerary. and he has been IN con-
Suitation already with Count Quadt, besides
enlisting the State Department offfcials in
his purpose. In case this plan is exeeuted
the itinerary will probably be arranged to
allow the prince to see the American cities
having the largest population Of Germanic
extraction.

BERLIN, January 1.-THE secretary of
the imperial admiralty, Admiral Won Tirpitz,
and the chief of Emperor Williams per-
soEal military staff, General Won Plessen,
are to accompany Prince Henry Of Prussia
on the latter's visit to the United States
The other members Of the princes suite,
besides Vice Admiral Baron Won Secken-
dorf and Adjutants Won Schwind and Won
Egidy, whose names have already been
announced, will be Captain Won Trotha, the
enporer'S general aid-de-camp; Captain Won

Program of the Visit.
Admiral Won Seckendorff, In giving the
correspondent of the Associated Press these
names. said:
The emperor, personally, is making all
the arrangements that can be made on this
side. The details as to how Prince Henry
shall spend his time in the United States
are left to Secretary Hay and Dr. Won Hol-
leben, but our general idea of the dates is
this: We arrive on the Kronprinz Wilhelm
February % at New York Prince Henry
will go on board the Hohenzollern and will
stay there till the launching of the en-
peror's new yacht, which, we think, will
probably be February "a. We go to Wash
ington to see the President, and perhaps
will stay there several days. Then we
make the most of the next few days in
for two more days before we san for home
on the Deutschland March g. This general
design, You see, fills up about four weeks,
one week in going each way, and a fort
night in the United States"
1t was suggested to Admiral Won Secken-
dorn that two weeks was not enough for
the prince to see much of America, and
that he ought to spend a longer time in the
United States and go west and south, to
which the admiral replied:
Princess Time Limited.
'It would be difficult for his royal high
ness to spend much longer time there,
though the Deutschland's sailing can be de-
layed a day or two If it seems desirable.
"An invitation from Chicago Is mentioned,
see, but l am unable to say whether it
will be accepted That will be left to your
people. Prince Henry simply wishes to
spend his time as those at Washington may
think to be to his best advantage. He looks
forward with keen interest to the trip and
expects to get pleasure and instruction out
Of it,
emperor could not visit the United States.
He would like to-, said Admiral Won
Seckendorff, "but we cannot spare him for
so long a journey now
The Kaiser Would Like to Come.
The admiral was asked If it was possible
the emperor might visit the United States
at some future time.
'1t would please him greatly answered
Won Seckendorff. 1T Is not an impossi-
bilitv."
Admiral Ven ssckendorff visited Norfolk
and was at San Francisco In 1872, on the
ola German warship Hertha, which has
since been replaced by new cruiser Of the
same name The old rHertha was the first
imperial German Warship to. visit the Pa
cif1c coast. She went to San Francisco af-
ter leaving Japan. =
RecolIectiOns Of San Francisco.
Won Seckendorff has vivid recollections Of
San Francisco and his fortnights S entertain
ment there.
Emperor William has ordered the Hohen-
zollern to be fitted out with all the acces-
sor1es used when his majesty is on board
the yacht.
The Lokal-Anzeiger to-day prints the fol-
lowing:
Emperor William has commissioned
Prince Henry to meet the prominent New
York yachtsmen and invite them to parti-
clpate In the kiel regattas, beginning June
26. Prince Henry will also ask lie Presi-
dent to permit the United States Mediter-
ranean squadron to be present at Kiel dur
ing the regatta week., SO that american
seamen may participate in the barge races.

Austrian Comment ON the Visit,
VIENNA. January 1.-THE Fremdenblatt
in long article discussing Prince Henrys
approaching visit to the United States,
which the paper regards as a demonstra-
tion Of mutual friendship, combats the idea
that this Is a move against Great Britain in
answer to Mr.. Chamberlair's utterances.
The Ffemdenblatt thinks it is possible that
Germany wishes to make her relations with
the United States Independent OF Great
Britain and that possibly similar desire
exists in America. In fine It says that Ger
many and perhaps the United States want
to neutralize the advantage possessed by
Great Britain in trade interests through
the use in the latter country OF the same
language as is spoken in the United States.
