When Mayor BOokwalter had concluded
his welcome Prince Henry, I'm a gracious
way, said he desired to say to the people of
indianapolis that he appreciated fully the
reception they had rendered him, and that
he could scarcely command words 10 de-
scribe his deep feeling of appreciation for
the welcome that had been extended 10 him
throughout the country. Especially was he
gratified, he said, that so many thousands
were up AT such late hour TO extend cor
dial greeting. When told that many of the
leading citizens of Indianapolis were of
German parentage Prince Henry said he
had found it so I'm many cities, and il gave
him deep qualification. In a rather sly way
he said to Mayor Bookwalter that after
witnessing so many hearty demonstrations
he did not think there would in future be
any serious misunderstanding arise be-
tween Germany and the United States
Mayor Bookwater was very much i'm
pressed with the princes manner and pro-
nounced him genial gentleman.
PRINCE HENRY APPEARS
After a few moments spent in informal
conversation Mr. Harris appeared at the
door Of the car. closely followed by the
prince and Mayor Bookwalter The ap-
pearance of his Royal Highness was
greeted with deafening outburst of cheers
from the Americans. blended with cries of
''HOch" from those of Teutonic blood. while
over ell were frantically waved flags and
standards of the two nations The prince
was evidently deeply impressed by the
warmth of his welcome to Indiana's capital
and acknowledged the greeting by bowling
with grace and touching the visor OF his
naval cap by way of salute.
1T is touching to see these people turn
out when it is so cold and so raw" the
prince was heard to remark to Mayor Book
walter. Upon the mayor inquiring if it
would be possible for his Highness to make
at least a brief talk to the multitude, the
prince expressed keen regret that he would
be unable TO avail himself of the privilege
on account of his WEAKNESS and indisposi-
ton. You see he said there are so
many places along the route at which | am
compelled to speak and the weather is so
unfavorable. that 1 must be careful of m

NEW YORK, March 2.-The Times will

that he had called on Senator Thomas c.

He wore the uniform of admiral and Sa-

his party were taken by special electric
train TO the incline railway that climbs the
rugged face of Lookout mountain. They
made the ascent in two cars. the prince,
escorted by General Boynton and Commits
sloner Evans, riding on the rear platform
OF the first. The morning was fairly clear
when the car began the ascent. and the
splendid panoramic view quickly came into
vision
AS the prince reached the crest of the
mountain the sun broke through the gray
ish clouds and for a short time the view
was excellent. Missionary Ridge, Orchard
Knob and RaccOon mountain were outlined
clear and DoIO. and below the Tennessee
river could be traced in its meanderings for
miles. General Boynton. who participated
in the Chattanooga operations with Sher-
man : army, and is chairman OF the Chlckd-

panied the prince down along the ridge of
the mountain and briefly related the story
of the campaign. He pointed off TO the
Cumberland mountains beyond which Rose
Grams began the movement traced out the
feint TO deceive Bragg, brought it up to
the command of Grant. and the graphically
told the story of Chickamauga and the
assaults on Missionary Ridge and Lookout

cital with a keen interest, and. with map
before him, studied out the strategy and
progress of the fight. He asked numerous
questions, and at his direction his aide,
Lieutenant Commander Won Egidy. noted
down figures as to the number of men en-
gagged, the losses on either side and other
information to the battles and cam
paign. AS he stood at Rock Point and
looked across the valley of the Tennessee,
he exclaimed: This is magnificent. There
is nothing in all Europe finer. l have never
seen such a battlefield.
While the party was at Rock Point
squall blew up, and the picture
changed in a moment. Dark clouds of the
storm rolled in and around the peaks. the
sky blackened. and snow began falling.
