COOL WELCOME FOR WALES
ARRJV4L OF BRI1ISH HEIR AP-
 PARENT IN BERLIN.
Not single British Flag Displayed in the Streets Through Which He is Driven-E Elaborate Attentions from the Royal Family.

Berlin, Jan, 26.--To- day passed with out any serious disrespect being shown the Prince of Wales, who arrived here yesterday evening to represent King Edward at the celebration of the an- niversary of the birth of Emperor Will liam next Monday. German crowds have a too deeply abiding respect for royal personages and are too thorough ly policed to ever jeer them. But in city where the lifting of ones hat is as universal as ordinary civility, it was singular to see the passing crowds with never a hat raised and to hear no mur- murs of applause,
 The last experience abroad of the Prince of Wales was his departure, amid thunderous cheers, from the shores of Newfoundland while the streets through which the prince was obliged to be driven to-day, on his way to visit the British embassy here, were without single British flag.
 While receiving the most elaborate attentions from the family of Emperor William and from German officialdom, the Prince of Wales must feel the chill ing attitude of the German public. Al most all the newspapers refrain from editorial comment on his visit
 The prince during the day visited the Prussian princes, Count von Buelow the imperial chancellor the various ambassadors and other distinguished personages. Soon after l o'clock Emperor William and the prince drove in a closed carriage to the bar racks of the First Royal Dragons. nnpp1 Niatoria'C trjnmnl1l archway of evergreens had been erect ed in front of tlfe porch of the barracks and the regiment was drawn up in pa rade order The band played the Brit ish anthem and after the regiment had marched past the emperor and the prince of Wales, the latter proceeded to the regmental mess room, where luncheon was served. The party in- cluded the British ambassador to Ger many, Sir F. c. Lasceles, and his staff; Princes Albrecht and Wilhelm Ertel Frederich and Prince Henry of Prus- sia The luncheon terminated at 5 o'clock when Emperor William return- ed to the castle and the prince of Wales took a train for Potsdam, there to vis it the duchess of Albany, and to lay a | wreath upon the tomb of the late Elm | press Frederick. Tn the evening Em | peror William and the empress gave a 1 dinner party to the prince of Wales in | the Elizabeth Hall of the castle, at | which the British minister, Count von | Buelow and Count von Waldersee were | present.

London. Jan. 27.-Commenting upon the reception of the Prince of Wales in Berlin yesterday and the attentions shown him by Emperor William, the London papers confess it could not be expected that the inha of Berlin should be effusive in their welcome to the prince but are pleased to find Elm peror William was so cordial and es- pecially note his kindly reference to the British army
