be Bearer of n Valuable Present
for Miss Roosevelt.
Berlin, Jan. 1S.-The secretary Of
the imperial admiralty, Admiral Won
Tirpitz, and the chief of Emperor
Williams personal military staff,
Gen. Won Plessen, are to accompany
Prince Henry of Prussia on the lat
ter's visit to the United States. The
other members of the princes suite,
besides Vice-Admiral Baron Won
Seckendorff and Adjutants Won
Schwind and Won Egidy, whose
names have already been announced,
will be Capt. Won Troth, the emper-
or's general aide-de-camp; Capt. Won
Muller, Commander Won Grumme,
who is also an aide-de-camp of the
emperor, and Staff Surgeon Reych.
His majesty definitely made these Sc
lections, after conferences, Friday,
in which Admiral Won S~eckendorff
took part, at the old schloss.
Admiral Won Seckendorff, in Civ
ing the correspondent these names,
said: "The emperor, personally, is
making all the arrangements that
can be made on this side. Details as
to how Prince Henry shall spend his
time in the United States are left to
Secretary Hay and DR.. Won Holleben,
but our general idea of the dates is
this: We arrive, on the Kron Prinz
Wilhelm, February %, at New York.
Prince Henry will go on board the
Hohenzollern and will stay there till
the launching of the emperor's new
yacht, which, we think, will probably
be February "a. We go to Washing
ton to see the president, and, per-
haps, will stay there several days.
Then we make the most of the next
few days, in seeing other cities, re-
tuIll1HR w NEW IOlh lOl bWo llolC
days before we sail for home, on the
Deutschland, March s. This general
design, you see, fills up about four
weeks, n week in going each way,
and a fortnight in the United
States"
1t was suggested to Admiral Won
Seckendorff that two weeks was not
enough for the prince to see much of
America, and that he ought to spend
a longer time IN the United States
and go west and south, to which the
admiral replied: ut would be diff
cult for his royal highness to spend
a much longer time there, though
the Deutschland's sailing can be de-
layed a day or two, if it seems de-
sirable.
"An invitation from Chicago is
mentioned, | see, but | am unable to
say whether it will be accepted. That
will be left to your people. Prince
Henry simply wishes to spend his
time as those at Washington may
think to be to his best advantage. lie
looks forward with keen interest to
the trip, and expects to get pleasure
and instruction out of it."
Regret was expressed at the fact
that the emperor could not visit the
United States.
He would like to-" said Admiral
Won Seckendorff, "but we can not
spare him for so long a journey
now"
The admiral was asked if it were
possible that the emperor might visit
the United States at some future
time.
'It would please him greatly" an
swered Won Seckendorff. "It is not
an impossibility."

ship Victoria and was at San Fran.
