Prince Henry Of Prussia Travelled
from. Chicago to Niagara Falls
today, crossed the Canadian frontier
for a brief stay. during which he was
officially welcomed by the Dominion.
and resumed his journey tonight, bound
for Boston over the New York Central
line
His longest stop in almost thirty
hours of continuous travelling was at
Niagara Falls. which he saw bridged
in with ice. He viewed the Horseshoe
falls from Table Rock, the American
falls from the ledge over the whirlpool
on the Canadian shore. rode down the
gorge to a point below the lower Whirl-
pool, 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 impressed by the falls,
and as he stood on Table Rock, look
ing across at the horseshoe, he said:
1T is magnificent; it 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
Toledo People Disappointed.
The special train had traversed the
distance between Milwaukee and Chi
cago, crossed Indiana and was well on
its way over Ohio before Prince Henry
arose. He was worn out when he left
Milwaukee. and he did not respond to
demonstrations by the people Of To-
ledo and Of Sandusky. He did not re-
ceiVe notice of the intention of the cit
liens of Toledo to formally receive him,
and his first knowledge of their plans
was conveyed to him by their band
playing Die Wacht Am Rhein."
1t was too late, then, to get up, and
Toledo did not see him. At Cleveland
there was a friendly demonstration.
Here Peter Karpp, formerly a bugler
in the German army, climbed into the
car for a 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. WO-
men and children were wedged in
against the train and the effort to
check the swirling crowd which pressed
in from the rear was useless. Several
women tainted, and anybody anywhere
near the center of the crowd was sub
mitter to dangerous pressure

Mrs. Harriet Gridley and Miss Grid
ley, widow and daughter of Captain G,
Y. Gridley, who was captain of the
Olympia at Manila bay, were received
entrain by Admiral Evans and were
/ presented to the prince Admiral Evans
and Captain Gridley were classmates
at Annapolis All through the morn
ing, as the train ran through a corner
of Pennsylvania. and out into the state
of New York, there were crowds at the
station anxious to see the prince and
tender assurances of friendship.
At Buffalo Mayor Knight welcomed
the prince and the local German sing
ing societies sang. 1t was 2:45 O'clock
when the special arrived at Buffalo
and fifteen minutes later it was steam
/ ing out to Niagara Falls. At Niagara
Falls station the prince was met by
Mayor Butler and a large reception
committee and formally hidden to the
city.
Nnen mayor Butter cOncluueu, III
| William Snyder spoke in behalf of the
Germans of the city. The prince did
not make q, speech in response, but
thanked both of them for their greet
ing. The prince was then driven to
I the Canadian side, accompanied by a
mounted escort, made up of local mill
tia officers. Midway on the bridge
which spans the rapids the prince was
met by the man who spoke for the Ca
