cial ceremony. nor, so far as known, will any

the German Emperor, comes into immediate
contact with the press is particularly happy
thought The modern spirit inspiring the whole
expedition is brought sharply into view through
hrnf
journalists.
Prince Henry's attitude toward the press when
IN the United States has been the subject of
consideration among his counsellors. While the
Prince will not give interviews. he desires to
show respect for the profession, and will give
an audience to the newspaper men, with the
understanding that he is not to be quoted. What
the Prince has to say will be issued through the
official channels.

household the number of NETWORKS inhabi-
fants "'New-York has three millions" was the
reply. NO." said the Emperor, -four millions"
