warmest welcome and the assurance
of our heartiest good will"
All the toasts were drunk in Mo.
selle.
Following the toast Of the President
to the German emperor, Prince Henry
arose and proposed toast to the
President and the people of the United
States, accompanying it with an ex-
preston Of good will and hope for the
continuation of friendly feelings be-
tween the German and American ma
tons. Then followed Mr.. Roosevelt's
toast to Prince Henry.
Mrs. Roosevelt and -1iss Roosevelt
were not present at any portion of the
evenings festivities, the company be-
ing confined to gentlemen.
Before the dinner at the White
House there was presented to the
President large pastel portrait of
Prince Henry in naval attire, a statu-
cite tbus) Of the emperor, and an
autograph naval scale prepared by the
emperor. The bust of the emperor
shows him in uniform of the corps

VISITS THE HOUSE
Prince Henry Sees American
Statesmen at Work.

Anticipating the arrival of His Royal
Highness Prince Henry of Prussia
great crowds flocked to the Capitol
overflowed in the snow-covered lawns
and occupied the asphalted space in
front of the building.
Almost on the dot, 4 o'clock, the
royal party appeared at the east front
where they were met by a committee.
Speaker Henderson welcomed the
party on behalf of the House of Rep
resentatives.
The royal party remained scarcely
ten minutes, when they left the gallery
and were escorted to the Ways and
Means Committee, where the Prince
held general reception, being intro
duced to the members by Chairman
Payne of the committee.

Prince Henry of Prussia was warm
~ welcomed to the American capital.
Cordial indeed was the greeting ex-
tended to him when he called at the
White House. AS soon as the formali-
ties were overland they were very
brief and apparently without signifi-
cance-President Roosevelt anu the
prince engaged in friendly converse
ton.
The President asked after the health
of Emperor William and the stormy
voyage of the prince from Germany to
these shores. When the royal visitor
and his suite left the White House
there was a smile of satisfaction on
the face of the Prince and later in the
day he spoke several times to his
friends and attendants of the pleasur-
able nature of his interview with the
young President.
Leaving the White House, the Prince
and suite, under the escort of troops F

tary of State Hill, Count Quadt of the
German embassy, followed and alight-
ed as quickly as possible and were
shown into the inner parlor, where
light refreshments were served.
The Prince reached the embassy
promptly at 1880.
At l1:43 President Roosevelt, ac-
companied by Col. Bingham, his mill
tary aide, Commander Cowles, his
brother-in-law, and Assistant Secretary
Loeb, reached the embassy. The Pres
ident was greeted with cheers and
waving of handkerchiefs as he stepped
from his carriage and was greeted by
the German Ambassador at the door.

THE METEOR LAUNCHED.
Miss Roosevelt christens the kaiser's
Splendid Yacht.

With brilliant sequence of official
ceremonies. New York's part in the
welcome of Prince Henry of Prussia
reached brilliant climax Feb. 25. On
the launching ways at Shooters Island,
white and graceful as swan, lay the
emperor's yacht, the Meteor, ready to
glide into the water at the touch OF
Miss Roosevelt's hand.
More than one unique feature
marked the occasion which opened this
busy day. AS the kaisers new flyer
was built beneath low shed, it was
not possible to deck her fully in the
usual holiday garb of bright-hued
flags. By an ingenious device her most
brilliant dress Of bunting flew to the
breeze at the moment she cleared the
shed where she was born and plunged
her stern into the element in which
she is destined to win new laurels for
an emperor.
This novel effect was contrived by
means of system of ropes and
weights, which threw into their prop
er places the temporary masts, which
up to that time hao lain PROSTATE on
the deck. From the trucks of these
temporary spars were strung the hal
yards from which flew the countless
flags of the international code, the
German standard on the main pole and
the Stars and Stripes at the bow and
stern.
President Roosevelt and his party
and the prince and his suite reached
the island by the Pennsylvania ferry
boat Philadelphia. Directly under the
cut water line of the Meteor was the
bunting deck stand on which
Miss Roosevelt, President Roosevelt
and Prince Henry stood. In the center
of this platform was box about three
feet high. Into this box there were
led the steel wire ropes holding the
weights leading to the beams on either
side Of the keel, and about five feet
aft the bow, which, when released, cast
loose the cradle in which the yacht
rested and in which she slid into the
water.
These were caught by a line which
Miss Roosevelt cut with silver hatch
ct. The cutting of this rope released
the weights and the yacht Immediately
started down the ways. The bottle of
champagne which was used was in
cased in fine silver basket work.
After entertaining President Roose-
welt and other distinguished guests at
luncheon on the Hohenzollern, Prince
Henry again embarked for the Bat
terry. There he was received by mill
tary escort, and the procession moved
up Broadway to the city hall, where
the German guests were rendered the
freedom of the city by Mayor Low.
Prince Henry was next escorted to
the Metropolitan club. where he was
the guest at dinner rendered by May
or Low. During this occasion an or
cnestra rendered Southern melodies at
the especial request of Prince Henry.
With great night at the Metropoli-
tan opera house the princes day
in the metropolis reached it's culmina-
ton. The opera house was most beau
tifully decorated for the occasion.

| DINNER AT WHITE HOUSE.
Magnificent Banquet Spread for Prince in
Tie East Room.

The browning event of the days
ceremony was the dinner given by the
President of the United States to
Prince Henry. Detail was arranged to
add to the beauty and stateliness OF
the event. The entire lower floor of
the White House was profusely decor
ated, the greatest possible attention
being given to the blue room and cas-
room, the one in which the President
received the Prince, the other in which
the dinner was given, and around
which the whole entertainment of the
evening conferred.
There have probably been more law
never more beautiful than those in
honor of this international dinner. Just
before the guests, as they entered the
east room, hung, side by side, the
German and American flags, pinned to-
gether near the top by an Admiral's
anchor. Over the tops of the flags
were festoons of smilax intertwined
with electric lights of red, white and
blue. These were the only two en-
blems of the countries now so closely
united and formed the background for
President Roosevelt and Prince Henry
as they occupied seats, side by side, at
the outer ellipse of the crescent-shaped
table.
In the recess of the windows were
banks Of palms and tropical plants,
while a mounG of palms and flowers
filled the space left by the crescent
shaped table and added to the view of
the vista Of flowers over $50 feet in
length, down which the Prince looked
from his seat at the table beside the
President. This was a feature careful
ly thought out, and the unobstructed
view from the east room to the ex-
IRENE end of the Conservatives was
unusually fine.
Upon each napkin, bearing the coat
of-arms of the United States were
sprays of valley lilies alternated with
pink roses. The red bordered china
bearing the coat-of-arms of the United
States in gold, especially designed and
ordered by Mrs. Cleveland, was used
for serving the dinner.
Upon the right of President Roose-
welt sat Prince Henry and upon his
left Lord Pauncefote, the British Am
bassador. Opposite these distinguished
men was Secretary of State Hay, upon
his right the German Ambassador, and
upon his left the French Ambassador.
The other diners were seated about the
crescent, which was designated by Mrs.
Roosevelt. after the most careful
thonght.
Thu President proposed the health Of
the German emperor and the German
people:
I'VE admire their great past and
great present, and wish them all pos
sible success in the future. Ma, the
bonds Of friendship between the two
peoples ever grow stronger"
The President also proposed the
