In six States, received the greetings Of tens

where, as the grandson Of the late English
Queen and the nephew Of the present
English King, he was received with en-
thusiasm, and tonight he is rushing along
on his special train headed for Boston.
From soon after daybreak this morning
until late tonight his progress has been
one continuous ovation,

is sufficient that they do turn out in crowds
as large as ever greeted President OF the
United States in his journeys through
the country. Yet there are certain factors
in the problem which are obvious enough.
Naturally, his presence appeals TO the
Germans and draws them almost in solid
body at every place he stops. Then there
is the fact that no excursion has ever been
advertised more than has this one, and
thai brings out that large body OF American
citizens who are always ready to take in
any free show.
THE POPULARITY OF THE PRINCE.
And there il the further and very inn
portant fact TO be considered that the
American people have got the impression
an entirely accurate one-that Prince Henry
OF Prussia is level-headed man, utterly
free from affectation and snobbishness,

as a good fellow" with warm sympathies,
keen sense OF humor and a great ad-
mirer of Bob" Evans. That last alone
would be enough to insure him warm
welcome. if one may Judge from the dem
onstrations of enthusiastic admiration FOR
the popular Admiral which have broken
out at every place where the train has
stopped
Put into a nutshell, it may be said that.
outside Of the German element the en-
thusiasm over Prince Henry is primarily
for Prince Henry himself and not for what
he represents. With some 1t may be that
it is in spite of what he represents. A
man said at one of the big demonstrations
yesterday:
Let his brother, the Emperor, come
over and we will give him a rousing well
come, 100, DrONlueu he bflnRs ItNltl Va
introduction from Prince Henry"
II is an undenisble fact that with every
day of his stay here his personal popularity
ia increased, for hardly day has passed
that there has not been some act Of thought
ful courtesy on his part to make people
like him better.
Probably in all the United States few
wearier men went 10 bed last night than
was the Prince when he turned in after all
he had been through in Chicago and Mil
waukee. II is not in the nature Of things
that he could have been overjoyed when at
a little after O'Clock this morning a mad
dening brass band broke loose with rie
perennial "Wacht am Rhein.'
1t was at Toledo that this occurred. Al

was on hand when the train reached the
station. The row they and their brass
band made awakened the entire train from
profound slumber. Yet the Prince was
forgiving enough 20 telegraph from Cleve-
