THE PRINCE AT HOME
Warmly Welcomed by His
Brother, the Kaiser.
A PLEASANT AND RESTFUL VOYAGE
Prince Henry Says He Would he
Ready to Return mt Once TO
America For Just such
Another Trip.


CUXHAVEN, March 19.-The re-
turn of Admiral Prince Henry of Prus.
sia to German soil was safely accom-.
plished amid all the pomp and circum.
stance with which the princes impe-
rial brother had seen fit to mark the
successful ending of Prince Henry's
American mission.
The same good fortune of freedom
from untoward incidents which char
acterlzed the princes transatlantic
journey continued until the end. The
landing occurred during period of
brilliant sunshine after an overcast
day.
The Hamburg American line steam.
er Deutschland, from Cherbourg, hav-
ing on board the prince and his suit,
was first sighted at half past > yester-
day afternoon. The German battle
ship Kaiser Wilhelm IL. steamed
down the roadstead to meet the
Deutschland and returned escorting
the big liner. The Deutschland tied
up to the new stone quay and was the
first ship to dock there.
Emperor William stood upon the
quay surrounded by high naval and
municipal officials. As representative
of the American embassy at Berlin
Commander William ii. Bechler, the
naval attache to the embassy, stood at
the emperor's side.
The quay was decorated with the
flags of all the states of the empire,
and the thousands of spectators who
covered the roofs of the great ware
houses and the wide slopes overlook
ing the scene cheered wildly as Prince
Henry walked down the gangway
from the steamer. Emperor William
kissed his brother upon both cheeks
and shook hands with the members of
his suit, saying a few cheerful SEN
tences to each. In the meantime the
guns of the squadron saluted.
Prince Henry, who looked to be thor
oughly rested, wore dark blue yacht
ing suit with the Kiel Yacht club but
tons.
Speaking of his American trip, the
prince said:
II was often tired, and | had to be
careful of what said publicly and pri-
vately. | saw and heard so much that
/ was sometimes tired out, but since
my long sleeps on board the Deutsch-
land l would be ready to return to
America at once for just such another
trip. This one has been so full of pleas
ure and instruction. 1t is good thing
to look upon another people face to
face and form your own impressions.
l want to say again that l am grateful
for the cordial and generous manner
in which the people and the president
of the United States received me. You
may be sure the impressions received
will be lasting"

MILLION DOLLAR FIRE
Hoboken Pier, With Steam
ship and Lighters, Burned.
A HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE Is FEARED.
Later Reports Say sailors of the
Burned Vessel Escaped-Chief En-
gineer Unaccounted For-New
York Docks In Danger.


NEW YORK, March 19.-The pier of
the Phoenix line in Hoboken was de-
stroyed by fire last night The steam
ship British Queen was totally destroy
ed, several lighters were burned, the
fire threatened the Campbell stores,
flames would reach the Holland -Ameri-
can line docks. The Maasdam of the
latter line was towed safely into the
stream.
Men who were on the docks and on
the British Queen when the fire started
assert there were many lives lost They
said that longshoremen were impris-
oned about the ship and that some
sailors sleeping in the forecastle Of the
| British Queen did not get out.
The latest information however, is
that no lives were lost, though it is as
serted that the chief engineer on board
the British Queen is still unaccountcd
for.
The fire started Mt 3:34 o'clock near
the end Of the Phoenix pier nearest the
North river, among cotton bales, with
which the pier was covered. The
flames ran in all directions until the
whole structure, which was n wooden
one, surmounted by frame shed, was
enveloped.
The steamer British Queen. owned by
the Phoenix people, was tied to the
south side of the pier and the flames
quickly leaped to her upper decks
Her crew had narrow escape. Cap
tain Pattinson was not aboard, he hav-
ing become i'll yesterday and gone to a
hospital.
In the same slip as the British Queen
were dozen or more lighters, cotton
laden. These caught fire, and only one
or two were saved. partially burned.
The captain of the lighter Tonawanda
saved himself wife and child by push
ing a cotton bale into the water plac-
ing his family and himself on il and
padding into the river. The crew of
the United States training ship Ports
mouth got them ashore safely.
At 1:30 the fire on the piers and on
the lighters left in the slips was under
control. The Heathburn and several
lighters were floating down stream all
ablaze. The first estimates of the loss.
necessarily hurried, follow Piers, $780,
600; British Queen. 100000; cotton
and lighters. 100000.
About midnight Chief Croker of the
fire department of New York city be-
came alarmed over the safety of the
piers on this side of the river. The
burning barges from Hoboken were
| floating to this side, and the chief
thought it best to get large force of
engines and other fire apparatus lined
up along the river front near the Amer
ican line and other piers, which are on
the water front between Cortlandt and
Murray streets.

those baking powders are made

Their lower price, their unfamil-

But it is not necessary for you
to know. You know that Royal

the best food, that it is pure and

knowledge is sufficient to enable
you to protect yourself and your
family from alum baking powders

QUEER INSCRIPTIONS.

of salesman seated in the Office of the

AS is characteristic of the drummer
they were telling funny "yarns.
Stories of one sort and another were

drew from his pocket little book,
containing lot of curious epitaphs,
which he had gathered from various

show that not only are the eccentrici-

One of the witnesses before the strike

Then when he was clear OF
debt the company gave him a bad
place to work till he was again in debt.
Such villainous methods as this would
disgrace the dark ages. They are a
discredit to American industries and
American ~citizenshop. They are to-
tally at variance with the American
idea of open dealings and honorable
business between man and man, no diff
ference what part of the country they
are in. Moreover. the scheme of max
ing a double profit off the workingman
one from his labor and another by
robbing him in the purchase of his nee
essary supplies, is a -isgrace to any
country in which it is practiced,
whether east or west.
