Rochester. N. Y.. March 5.-Prince Henry of Prussia travelled from Chi cago to Niagara Falls today, crossed the Canadian frontier for brief stay, during which he was officially well comed by the dominion and resumed his journey tonight, bound for Boston, over the New York Central line. His longest stop in almost thirty hours 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 ledge over the whirlpool on the Canadian shore, rode down the gorge to a point below the lower whirlpool, and there inspected the plant of the Niagara Power company, which con- Verts the force of nature to the use of commerce. He was much impressed by the falls, and as he stood on Table Rock looking across at Horseshoe he said: Tt is magnificent: it is grand"
 He was also much impressed by the swirling rapids down in the gorge and when he left his car at the whirlpool he stood for several minutes watching the tumblng of the waters.
 The special train had traversed the distance between Milwaukee and Chi cago. had crossed Indiana and was well on the way over Ohio. before Prince Henry arose. He was worn out when he left Milwaukee, and he did not re- spond to the demonstrations by the people of Toledo and of Sandusky. He i did not receive notice of the intention of the citizens 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.' It was too late then to get up and Toledo did not see him.
 At Cleveland there was a friendly demonstration. Here Peter Karpp, for merly bugler in the Germant army, 1 climbed into the car for a reunion ! with the prince which greatly pleased i both. Karpp was a sailor with Prince Henry back in 1S77. and they were ship mates for more than two years. Prince l Henry recognized him at once and, talk 1 ing him by the hand. led him into the
 gar. They talked over the old days.
