NEW YORK. Feb 25--In connec-
ton with Prince Henry's Western trip
there is one thing President Roose-
velt's delegates wish to insist upon.
and they want the information scat
tered all through the country. No
governors. mayors, city councilmen
or reception committees will be per-
mitted to board the royal train at any
point or under any circumstances.
1T is not because we do not want
| TO see these gentlemen" said General
| Corbin, "or because we wish to be ex-
elusive, or anything of the sort. We
| know Prince Henry would be glad to
| meet those gentlemen. for he is as
Democratic as we are. but 1t is simply
| impossible. Our train is to be crowd
| ed to the guards. We will not have
| room for committees and visitors.
There is but one vacant berth in the
train as the party is now arranged.
| and that will be filed before we start.
The train will be crowded. To at
tempt to receive delegations would
| lead to confusion, annoyance and per-
haps delay, Besides, the prince and
his suite must have some time for re-
pose.
1T has been suggested that we put
| on more cars, but If we increase the
weight OF the train We shall not be
| able to make schedule time, and we
want to put this train through to the
minute. The honor Of American rail
roading is involved. We hope no
one will misunderstood our decision.

1t is a matter of necessity. not of
choice"

have the privilege for $1O.000,000. The
delegates were afraid If they said

would have taken them up.

Prince Henry of Prussia, 100000 20

in mourning, will go to the different
places of worship and there partici-

laymen and clergy of this city and
throughout the country have been for
several weeks debating the question
as to what the Polish-Americans will
do during the visit of Prince Henry

feeling they entertain towards the
German government on account of the
treatment of Polish school children
and their parents in the effort to
crush the Polish language and nation

special services held In the different
churches on Monday night, March 3.
