 Indianapolis, March 2.-Prince Henry
 of Prussia went up Lookout mountain
 to-day and after viewing the ground
 where the Union and Confederate ar
 mics met in conflict and hearing afresh
 the story of the battles, resumed his
 journey to the north and west. Leav-
 ing Chattanooga over the Nashville,
 Chattanooga and St. Louis railroad, his
 train ran through corner of Alabama
 and then turning to the north, hurried
 across Tennessee with a short stop at
 Nashville, through Kentucky with
 brief stays at Louisville and Bowling
 Green and up into Indiana to another
 brief halt at Indianapolis, where the
 course was changed to the westward
 again and on the tracks of the Van
 dalia line, his train tonight is on the
 reach for St. Louis, His reception in
 
 strative. The negroes manifested great
 curiosity as to the prince and they in-
 terested and amused him.
 He had an opportunity to hear them sing at Nashville and was greatly
 pleased at the experience.
 There was great crowd at Chatta- nooga and the people presented the prince with a handsome souvenir of his visit. Nashville also made demon- stration of friendliness as did Louis- vile and Indianapolis. At every station along the route the people gathered to salute him with cheers There was much enthusiasm over Admiral Evans as we'll and at several points after they had seen and cheered the prince the people called for the admiral. Brief though it was Prince Henry was de- lighted with his southern tour and as he was leaving Nashville he said:
 '"The people have been very kind to me. Everywhere they have received me in the kindliest manner and l deeply appreciate 1t. I wish they might all know how thankful I am"
 Guided by pilot engine the royal special made rapid run from Cincin- natl to Chattanooga. Tired from his exertions of the day the prince retired after leaving Cincinnati, but his slum- bers were disturbed by the clamorous calls made for him at some of the Ken lucky towns. At Somerset several young men ran up to his car and beat ing on the windows of hls apartment familiarity called upon him to appear. He did not know that it was simply the act of hoodlums and said when he arose that he would nave shown himself If he had been dressed.
 It was 8 o'clock when the special pulled into the station at Chattanooga and the local reception committee, headed by Newell Sanders and accom- panied by Pension Commissioner Ii. Clay Evans ana General H. V. Boyn- ton. came forward formally to greet the prince. There was a great throng in and about the depot and it broke into hearty cheers when the prince ap- peared at the rear of the car Columbia. He wore the uniform of admiral and salutad when he faced the crowd He and his party were taken by special electric train to the inclined railway that climbs the rugged face of Lookout They made the ascent in two cars, the prince, escorted by Gen- ,ral Boynton and Commissioner Evans, riding on the rear platform of the first car.
 The morning was fairly clear when he car began the ascent, and the splen- i lid panoramic view quickly came into | ,ision AS the prince reached the crest if the mountain the sun broke through | he clouds and for short time the view vas excellent. Missionary Ridge, Or hard Knob and Raccoon Mountain | were outlined clear and bold and below he Tennessee river could be traced in ts meanderings for miles. General 3oynton. who participated in the Chat anooga opera tions with Sherman's lrmy and is chairman of the Chicka- nauga National Park association, ac- .ompanied the prince down along the idge of the mountain and briefly relat- d the story of the campaign. He ,ointed off to the Cumberland noun aims. beyond which Rosecrans began he movement, traced out the feint to eceive Bragg, brought it up to the ommand of Grant and then graphical V told the story of Chickamauga and ha assaults on Missionary Ridge and Mountain. Prince Henry followed the recital yith the keenest interest and with map efore him, and studied the strategy nd progress of the fight. He asked umerous questions, and by his direc- on his aide, Lieutenant Commander { -on Fgidy noted down figures as to ,e number of men engaged, the losses l n either side and other information as ! , the battles and campaign. As Prince [enrv stood at Rock Point and looked cross the valley of the Tennessee he ! "T1is is magnificent, There <
 nothing in all Europe that is finer. t have never seen such a battlefield"
