Departure of Prince Henry Frees Them
of Much Care. ..-
A great sigh Of relief was heaved by the
members Of the Metropolitan Police force
at 1880 o'clock last night when Prince
Henry Of Prussia and his party took their
departure from the Nations Capital The
work brought upon the local Police De-
partment by the Princes visit here has
been Of such magnitude that only those
connected with the department are aware
Of the great strain undergone by the
bluecoats-
In order that the city streets might be
properly patroIled Major Sylvester was
required 10 figure TO the minute in order
that he might not draw too many Of his
men from the residential districts. As
it was, however. there was not an ocoa-
sion while the Prince was in the city but
that has royal person was ably guarded by
a stronge detachment Of bluccoats. Upon
his arrival he was met by squad Of one
hundred and twenty-five policemen. dur
ing bis drives in the afternoon he was es-
corted by twenty policemen. upon his de-
parture after his first days visit he vas
surrounded by more than a hundred po-
licemen. and so the detail continued even
up until the royal party had been escort
ed to their respective cars at the sixth
Street depot last night The train did not
leave for almost an hour. during which
time three or four big policemen did guard
duty Immediately beneath the Princes

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. March I.-Rumors
that Harvard University would confer a
degree on Prince Henry Of Prussia on
the occasion OF his visit to Harvard next
month have been current at Cambridge
and Boston foF several weeks. No further
Official statement on the subject can be
obtained. for it is not the custom OF
the authorities at Harvard to announce
such matters. .r
When the report was first circulated
some little time ago, u was denied that
Prince Henry would receive q degree. the
denial coming from Prof Nunsterburg.

FAV0RS IMMIGRATION.
Assistant Commissioner E. :. McSweeny
Points Out What He Says Is FalIacy.

Points Out What He Says Is Fallacy.
The lecture Of Assistant Commissioner
Of immigration f. F. McSweeuy before
the National Geographic Society at the
National Rifles Armory last night took the
form Of an appeal in behalf Of immigra-
ton.
He pointed out the fallacy Of the cry
that was formerly heard that immigration
would. reduce wages, and stated that in
the face Of an influx Of immigrants that
had never been equaled in the history OF
the world. wages in this country had
steadily increased. and the purchasing
power OF a doller had nearly doubled.
The one set OF people that he express
ed fear Of were the Mongollans, the Jap
anese being equally as dangerous as their
Chinese brothers. and lacking in many OF
the COmmendable traits OF the latter. The
speaker has been a close student OF racial
differences and exhibited pictures Of many
interesting types that had been taken
within the past two years at Ellis Island,
New York HarbOr
Prominent among these, and intended to
illustrate the rapidly with which the for
etgners adopt our customs and assimilate
with US, were two pictures that had been
taken within half an hour OF each other.
One o. these showed a young peasant
woman in her native costume as she step
ped ashore at the island. the other was
Of the same woman after she had been
carefully groomed and fitted 0ut with

The change in her appearance was re-
markable Many pictures were thrown
upon the canvas. each of which had an in
