TELEGRAPH SERVICE LIMITED.
South Atlantic States Cut OF and
East Remains in Plight.


NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-While the tele-
graph companies are still struggling TO
repair the damages resulting from the
sleet and gales of last week, they are
now facing an additional arrangement
of their systems because of heavy rain
storms in the Middle West and the
South. 1t is said that the interruption of
Geographic communication has never be-
fore been so general or so long con-
tinued. In the vicinity of Philadelphia,
where the storm of last Friday was
most severe the companies arer still en-
deavoring to restore their wires, and
practically all business for Baltimore,
Washington and the South Is still being
routed by way of Pittsburg and the
West. The rain storms of last night
have caused serious interruption to this
route. South of Washington is today
practically cut off and the interior of
Pennsylvania is in a similar condition.
In Ohio the rain storms have also ham
pered telegraphs seriously. Torrential
rains, reported to be of almost cloud
burst severity, have occurred in the
South Atlantic states, Mississippi and
Alabama and that region Is today prac-
tically without communication. Severe
thunderstorms have accompanied the
rainfall. In many sections rivers are out
of their banks and causing not only de-
rangement of wires, but much Interrupt
ton to railway traffic.

Large Crowd Waits Outside.
An enormous crowd gathered about
the embassy while the dinner was in
progress, filing Massachusetts avenue
with a solid mass of humanity for a
block in either direction. At $3.50 o'clock
the long line of German marchers who
were to serenade the prince made their
appearance, bearing pitch torches. At
the head of the column moved the stars
and stripes, side by side with the Ger
man colors, Following the torch bearers
came hundred strong-voiced German
singers, who formed on the terrace
Immediately below the high balcony of
the embassy entrance.
AS the singers gathered, Prince Henry
stepped upon the balcony, and amid a
storm of cheers, bowed his salutations
to the throng. He was In the full uni
form OF admiral of the navy, showing
the order of the Black Eagle and the
family order of Hohenzollern. About
MIN were ranged groups of ambassadors
and officers in their brilliant uniforms,
while at every window were the radiant
faces of the ladies in their ball dresses.
Without a hat and calmly putting a
cigarette, his royal highness surveyed
the animated scene below. Then above
the cheers rose the voices of the singers
in "Das Deutsche Leid," followed by
die Waeht am Rhein," and then by
1.-THE Star Spangled Banner"
AS the last song was being sung, the
representatives of the COMMUNICATIONS
Of Washington visited the balcony, where
Prince Henry gave them a cordial well
come.
The prince, in replying to an address
of welcome, asked whether those who had
rendered the songs were now American
citizens, and receiving a reply in the
affirmative the prince said:
II wish you would give to the United
States all those good qualities which
YOU have brought from the fatherland
Endeavor to be useful and good citizens
of this great and glorious country"

followed.
The exact details of the affair are
