Rochester, N. Y, March 5.-Prince Henry of Prussia travelled from Chicago to Niagara Falls today, crossed the Can adian frontier for a brief stay, during which he was officially welcomed by the Dominion and resumed his Journey to- night, bound for Boston over the New York Central line. His longest stop in almost thirty hours of continuous travel ing was at Niagara Falls. which he saw bridged in with ice He viewed the Horse Shoe Falls from Table Rock. the Ameri. can falls from the ledge over the whirl- pool on the Canadian shore, rode down the gorge to a point below the lower whirlpool and there inspected the plant of the Niagara Power Company which converts the force of nature to the pur- pose of commerce. He was much im- pressed by the falls and as he stood on Table Rock looking across at the Hoi se Shoe he said:
 Tt Is magnificent; 1t Is grand" He was much impressed also by the swirling uOWll III liiC SUI eO e@iN "AiNit iAS left his car at the whirlpool he stood for several minutes watching the tumbling of the waters.
 Prince Completely Worn Out.
 The special train had traversed the distance between Milwaukee and Chicago crossed Indiana and was we'll on it's way over Ohio before D. m. He was worn out when he left Milwaukee and he did not respond to the demonstrations by the people of Toledo and of Sandusky He did not receive notice of the intention of the citizens of Toledo to formally re- ceive him and his first knowledge of their plans was conveyed to him by their band playing Die Wacht Am Rhein." It was too late then to get up and Toledo did not see him. At Cleveland there was a friendly demonstration. Here Peter Karpp, formerly btgler in the q -rman army, climbed into the car for reunion with the Prince which greatly pleased both. Karpp was a sailor with Prince Henry back in 1877.
 At Erie, Pa, was a great crowd. Sew eral women tainted, and anybody near the center of the crowd was submitted to dangerous pressure. Mrs. Harriet Grid ley and Miss Gridley, widow and daughter of Capt. c. V. Gridley, the man who fought on the Olympia at Manila Bay, were received on the train by Admiral Evans, who went to the Naval Academy with the dead captain, and were presented to the prince. All through the morning as the train ran through a corner of Penn sylvania and out into the state of New York there were crowds at the stations anxious to see the prince and tender as surances of friendship.
 At Buffalo Mayor Knight welcomed the prince and the local German Singing So- ciety sang It was 2:45 o'clock when the special arrived at Buffalo, and fifteen minutes later it was steamin5 out to Niagara Falls.
 At Niagara Falls station the prince was met by Mayor Butler and a large recep- tion committee and formally bidden to the city.
 Driven to Canadian Side.
 When Mayor Butler concluded, Dr. Will liam Snyder spoke in behalf of the Ger mans of the city. The prince did not make a speech in response, but thanked both of them for their greeting. The prince was then driven to the Canadian side accompanied by a mounted escort. made up of local militia officers. Midway on the bridge which spans the rapids the prince was met by the man who spoke for the Canadian government and people. J. E. Maud military secretary to Lord Minto Governor General of Canada, pre- scented the formal greeting of his chief and the Hon. R. Harcourt minister or ed- ucation for Ontario, delivered the ad- dresses passed by the Legislature of On tario.
 Karl Mueller presented an address in behalf of the municipality of Berlin. Ont, and r. Bopp, German consul at Go Nnrdhpi1npr C.prrnQ consul at Toronto, and W. H. Hespeler German consul at Winnipeg. were intro duced. The prince thanked the Canadians for their cordiality, and leaving his American military escort behind, was driven to the Canadian side. AS his carriage turned up towards the falls Mayor Butler, who with Admiral Evans was driving with him, said:
 There at the gallery is the best views of the American falls, but on account of snow you cannot get to it.
 Snow Couldn't Stop Him.
 You may not be able to climb across there, but I am going to, said the prince, and suiting the action to his words the prince jumped out of the carriage and climbed through the snow drift to the gallery on the ledge over the rapids, where he showed the way. Others fol- lowed ana soon there WdS q iteiS Sio"N with him. After viewing the American falls the prince was driven to the Table Rock, where he again dismounted and viewed the Horse Shoe falls. The prince was driven back to the town of Niagara Falls and there transferred a special electric car for the trip dotEn the gorge. He left the car at the whirlpool rapids and with his suite walked down to the bank. On returning to Niagara he in- spected the power house of the Niagara Power Company.
 As the party was leaving the power house Admiral Evans felt something tugging at his coat He turned to find the hand of a youthful looking pick pocket in one of his pockets AS the ad- miral shook him off he cooly said; Young man, you'll find my purse in an other pocket"
 The admiral did not delay long enough to turn the thief over to the police.
