PRINCE HENMS VISIT
Discussing Plans for His Coming to
Washington.
WILL Be ENTERTAINED At EMBASSY
Rear Admiral Evans Confers With
the Ambassador.
WALDERsEE ALSO COMING

1t has been settled thatsPrinee Henry of
Prussia will not be entertained at one of
the Washington hotels, as has been the
case with preceding distinguished national
visitors. Ambassador Won Holleben, who
was at the State Department today in con-
ference with Secretary Hay, has given no.
tice that he will entertain the prince and
suite at the German embassy on Highland
Terrace, on Massa chusetts avenue. The ac-
commodat tions of the house. which is not
particularly large, will probably be thereby
taxed to the utmost.
The State Department has not yet out
lined its part Of the program connected
with his reception, but it is suggested that
DR.. Hill, the first assistant secretary of
state, who by reason Of an extended resi-
dence in Germany is perfectly conversant
with the German language,may be charged
to represent the Department of State in the
ceremonies.
Ex-Governor Francis of Missouri also
called upon Secretary Hay in connection
with Prince HenryS visit. He very strong
ly urged that the program for tne
princes entertainment be made to include
a visit to st. Louis in order that the prince
ly guest might see for himself the scale
upon which the approaching Louisiana
purchase exposition is, projected.
Talking About Arrangements.
Rear Admiral RebleyD. Evans, who has
been charged with the preparation and ex-
ecution of the naval program at the recep-
ton of Prince Henrya of Prussia, called
upon DR.. Won Holleber1, the German am
bassador. at the embassy to-day, and had
quite long talk in regard to the arrange
ments for the naval weleome to be accord
ed the royal visitor. AdRniraI Evans will
keep in close touch with the ambassa dor
and the embassy officials, in order that
those of the visiting party, notice of the
latterS plans being conveyed from Berlin
to the embassy at Washington.
1t is stated on authority that the Kron-
prinz Wilhelm will not deyafe from her
course and go first to Hampton roads as
