Hrooke-Iast Night lie and His Oricers

Hobenzollern, which docked at Hoboken
ON Wednesday, put In n busy day yesterday.
In addition 10 the work OF getting the
vessel in shape for the reception Of Prince
Horny there were to % returned the official
c,lls made on Wednesday by representa-
,ivcs Of the Mayor and by Admiral Barker
and Gen. Brooke, representing the navy
and army. The Admiral. respondent in
Iii lace and with his breast covered
Nth orders and decorations, was accom-
nanied by his Flag Lieutenant and by
th. German Consul-General OF whom the
occasion also demanded a uniform only a
Ittle less brilliant than that Of the Admiral.
A. pilot the party had Capt. Clifford H..
West, Admiral Barker's aide.
II was 10 o'clock before the first visitor
Of the day hove in sight. This was Consul
General Buenz. who came on the tug Pollux.
He was attired in his consular uniform,
dark blue with trimmings OF gold lace,
and wore a three-cornered hat. The Ger
man jackies manned the side for him and
he spent some time talking with the Adj
miral in his cabin. While he was SO en-
gagged the navy yard tug Narkeeta with
Capt. West came alongside. In expecta-
ton Of her coming to take the Admiral
on his calling trip workmen on the pier
had laid a blue carpet from the Hohenzol-
lern's anyway down to the end of the
pier. Capt. West didn't know anything
about this and when he ran the tug along
side the yacht instead of the end OF the
pier the Germans on the pier became ex-
cited. In compliance with their wishes
he ordered the Narkeeta 10 tie up at the
end Of the carpet.
The Admiral was very particular that
Capt. West should go on board the tug first
and take his place at the head Of the gang
way 30 that he could receive the visitors
In the proper manner. As soon as the Cap
tain assumed his post the Admiral walked
aboard, his hand TO his hat all the way
up the gangplank. On the way to the
navy yard tho Admiral had a good oppor-
tunity to take in the skyline Of New York.
Capt. West pointed ont some OF the sky
scrapers and gave their height as well as
he knew it to the Admiral and his Lieu
tenant.
Wonderful, wonderful" the Admiral
kept saying. He wanted to know all about
the Brooklyn Bridge and the new bridge
as the tug came in sight of them and had
not lost his interest in the skyscrapers
when the tug poked her nose into the navy
yard. The Admiral's trained naval eye
swept the yard and lighted on the Balti-
more. He couldn't see the name and he
asked Capt. West what ship it was. When
the captain informed him, the Admiral
was even more interested and quickly
responded. why, she was at Manila!'
Drawn up on the pier, was a company
VI marines and the band struck up the
German national air. First 10 greet the
Admiral there was Capt. Coghlan, who was
also at Manila, and who after he got home
reoited "Hoch, der Kaiser at a banquet.
The Admiral shook hands with Capt, Cogh-
Ian warmly, and II he remembered the in
cident he gave no sign.
Admiral Barker was then introduced
and led the way to his residence, where
some Of the ladies Of the yard greeted the
visitors, and refreshments were served.
When the party left the yard on the tug
after the call was ended an Admiral's salute
of thirteen guns was fired from the CO.
lumbia, 10 which the Admiral listened with
his hand at his hat in salute. The party
proceeded to Governors Island.
Going down the East River the NaIkeeta
almost ran into the tug ROYAL, which was
coming dow the river with a barge. The
Narkeeta whistled as she came out into the
river expecting that the ROYAL would look
out for her. The Royal didn't appear TO
mind the signals and the tugs came within
n 1OOt OF 70 OF tdCn OInfT before Inc N0N-
keeta minded her helm and swung around.
Gen. Brooke was not feeling well yester-
day, but he got out Of bed and donned his
full dress uniform TO receive the visitors.
As the party left the island another salute
Of thirteen guns was fired, The tug then
took the party to Pier ?, North River, and
there they entered carriages and drove TO
the City Hall.
Before the distinguished visitors entered
the Mayor 5 room they threw of their capes
in the ante-room and appeared before
Mayor Low in the full glory q their uni
forms and decorations.
1T gives me great pleasure to welcome
you 10 the city Of New York." said the
Mayor. The Admiral then thanked tho
Mayor, told hin how pleased he felt at
being here and spoke OF the changes that
had taken place since his visit in 1858,
The Mayor suggested hat II might be
better If every one sat down and afte the
visitors had taken chairs a general con-
versation ensued which lasted ten min
utes. Then the visiting party drove back
TO the tug and by her 10 the Hohenzollern.
Lieut.. Regensberg said that the Admiral
would make no more official calls until
the arrival of the Prince and everything
he did until then would be OF a private
character. In the evening the Admiral
went 10 SEQ his brother-in-law from Phil
G1delphia who is stopping at PA Lex

got caught in a rush Of commuters
which he took good naturedly. The
other officers Of the H"ohenzollern
also left the ship saying they we're going
70 take in the sights of the city. A portion
OF the crew got shore leave yesterday.
All Of them are either smooth siIaven or
wear a mustache and beard in obedience
t. a rule Of the Emperor's. In the after
noon the Hohenzollern put on 400 tons
OF American coal.
Mayor Low gave out Yesterday the
substance of a cable correspondence which
he had with II of Prince Henry's suite
regarding the latter's arrival here. IL
