hours of Friday.

RocheSter, n. y, March 5.-frihce
Henry of Prussia, travelled from Chi
cago to Niagara Falls, today, crossed
the Canadian frontier for BRIEF stay,
to which he was officially welcomed by
the Dominion. and. tonight, resumed
his journey to Boston over the New
York Central. His longest stop In al
most 80 hours of 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 the ledge over the
whirlpool on the Canadian shore, RODE
down the gorge to a point below the
lower whirlpool and then inspected the
plant of the Niagara Power co. he
was much impressed by the falls and,
as he stood on Table rock looking
across at, the Horseshoe said: 1T is
magnificent; it is grand" He was
greatly impressed by the swirling
rapids and when he left his car at the
whirlpool stood for several minutes
watching the play of the waters.
The special train had covered the dis
lance between Milwaukee and Chicago,
crossed Indiana and was well on its
way over Ohio before Prince Henry
arose. He was worn out when he left
Milwaukee and they did not respond
to the demonstrations made by the
people of Toledo and Sandusky. He did
not get notice of the intentions OF the
citizens of Toledo to formally receive
him and his first knowledge of their
plan was conveyed to him by their
band playing die Wacht Am Rhein.
1t was too late then to get up and To-
ledo did not see him. At Cleveland
there was friendly demOnstra ton and
Peter Karpp, formerly a bugler in the
German army climbed into the car for
a reunion which was pleasant on both
sides. Knapp had been a sailor with
Prince Henry back in 1877 and they
were shipmates for more than two
years. The prince recognized Peter at
once and, taking him by the hand, led
him into the car. They talked over the
old days and an admiring crowd looked
on in approval.
At Erie, Pa, was a crowd which
made the most dangerous jam of the
entire journey. Several women tainted
and anybody anywhere near the center
of the crowd was submitted to dam
gerous pressure. Mrs. Harriet Gridiey
and Miss Gridley, widow and daughter
of Capt. c. V. Gridley, the man who
founght on the Olympia at Manila bay.
were received on the train by Admiral
Evans, who attended the Naval
Academy with the dead captain, and
were presented to the prince.
All through the morning as the train
ran through a corner of Pennsylvania
and out into the state of New York
there We're crowds at the stations
naxious to see the prince and tender
assurances of friendship. Dunkirk
had it's band out and at Buffalo Mayor
Knight welcomed the prince and the To-
cal German singing societies sang.
Tt was 245 o'clock when the train ar
rived at Buffalo and Is minutes later
it was steaming out to Niagara Falls.
At Niagara Falls station the prince
was met by Mayor Butler and large
reception committee and formally well
coined to the city. DR.. Thomas Sny-
der spoke in behalf of the Germans of
the city. The prince did not make
speech in response but thanked them
for their greeting.
The prince was then driven to the
Canadian side, accompanied by a
mounted escort made up of local mill
tary officers. Midway on the bridge
which spans the rapids the prince was
met by the man who spoke for the
Canadian government and people.
Major +. S. Maude, military secre-
tary to Lord Mimic, governor general
of Canada, presented the formal greet
ing of his chief, and the Hon. R. Har-
