DETAILS YET TO BE SETTLED

Emperor William has approved the plans
of the United States committee of arrange
ments for the reception of Prince Henry,
as far as they 60 He has left to the COM
mittee the arrangement of the details of the
general plan, and today the members were
again at work on these. particularly upon
the contracts to be made with the railroad
agents for the hauling of the special train
which will be engaged by the government
for the tour of the prince This train Will
be made up of six ears Of the finest de-
scription, and one will be set apart for the
exclusive accommoda ton of the prince.
In its present shape the plan looks to
as fair division of the time as conditions
allow between the sections Of the country,
and to that end it is now proposed to take
the distinguished visitor as far into the
south as Chattanooga, as far west as st.
Louis and as far north as Milwaukee on
one side and Boston on the other. Such
trip, 1t is believed, will afford the prince as
fair opportunity to get an idea of the
country as his limited time will allow.
Reception at New York.
AS now arranged the prince and his suite
will arrive at New York on the imperial
yacht Hohenzollern, Saturday. February
%, and his arrival will be made the oc-
casion of an impressive naval and military
demonstration. The HohenzoHern will be
escorted up the harbor by a fleet of war
ships commanded by Rear Admiral Robley
d. Evans and will be saluted by the bat
terieS at the military posts in the harbor.
1t Is probable that the general commit
tee of arrangements consisting Of DR.. Hill,
Assistant Secretary of State General Cor
BIN. representing the army, and Admiral
Evans, representing the navy, will meet the
prince on his arrival at New York and es-
cort him to the national capital, where
he will be foanally presented to the Presi-
dent of the United States
The party will remain in New York CITY,
however. Saturday night and all day Sun
day, and will improve the opportunity to
rest and visit Grants tomb, in Riverside
Park, and other points of interests. The
party will leave New York shortly after
midnight In a special train. which will
make the trip leisurely so as to arrive in
this city about half-past 10 o'clock Monday
morning.
Welcome to Washington.
The details for his reception here have
not yet been finally completed, but 1T is
probable that the District Commissioners
will be invited to assist in the reception of
Prince Henry. He will be met at the sta
ton by a representative military detach-
ment made up of squadron Of cavalry
and battery of artillery from Fort Myer
ana battalion of marines organized at
nearby stations! With this escort he will
chusetts avenne near 14th street, which
will be his home during his sojourn in this
city. detail of engineer troops from
Washington barracks will probably be as-
German embassy as fong as the prince re-
mains there. N
Prince Henry will call upon President
Roosevelt abodt noon on Monday, and the
President will return the call at the German
embassy later n the5afternoon.. That even
ing the President and the members of his
cabinet and Prince Henry and his suite, to-
gether with a number Of invited guests,
will go to News Yorkfn special train, ar
irving there ipi ample time to attend the
launching of the emperor's yacht Meteor,
which event is fixed for 1890 O. clock Tues
day morning. During the princes stay in
New York city the arrangements for his
entertainment will be in the hands of
committee of citizens appointed by the
mayor Of New York. and the latter official
will give dinner in his honor on the night
of the 18th: The program also includes a
reception by the New York Press Club.
Second Trip to Washington.
1t is expected that the presidential party.
and Prince Henry's party will return to
Washington Wednesday, the 26th, and that
the prince will be the guest of the Presi-
dent at a dinner at the White House that
evening. 1t is also expected that the
princes party will attend the Mckinley
memorial services at the Capitol the fol-
lowing day. A visit to Mount Vernon, and
possibly one to the Naval Academy at An
napolis. may be made by the prince during
his stay in Washington, which will end on
the 2Sth. when the royal visitor will start
on his visit to the west.
AS now planned the prince will spend his
first Sunday in the United States in New
York city.
The second Sunday will probably be spent
at Chattanooga and visit will be paid
to the great national park at Chicka-
manga. The third and last Sunday Of the
princes stay in America will again be
spent in New York resting quietly and per-
haps visiting some of the German social
organizations. In this way the committee
has avoided the necessity of travelling on
Sunday.
