On each side were two mounted police men, fully mounted with equipment of gauntlets and dress saddle clothes. They were within range of the car riage so as to avoid as much as pos sible any annoyance or embarrass- ment to the royal guest. X score of policemen on foot also marched alongside the carriages on each side, at intervals of six paees. in single file. It is only a short block from the Sixth street depot to Pennsylva- mia avenue, and as the marching col umn swung around 1t they found that broad driveway from curb to curb swept bare of people and vehicles from that point as far as the eye could reach in a westerly direction.
 From shortly before the scheduled hour of arrival all street ear service along or across the line of march had been suspended, all vehicles eX- cept those belonging to the arriving party had been barred, and only au- thorized persons were allowed within the lines. There were only few of these. Banked along each side of the route, in addition to the police, were over 1 400 men of the District militia. They formed a double line of senti- nels at intervals of four paees, fac ing. of course, inwards. They in cluded the engineer corps, command ed by Col. Black, former member of the board of commissioners of the District. the First and Second regi- ments, the naval battalion, the First separate battalion, consisting of col ored men; a detachment from the signal corps and the ambulance crops, who. resting near the right of the signal corps, on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue, held them selves ready for quick response to emergency calls. The militiamen were commanded by Gen. George II. Harries, who, with his general staff and non-eommissioned staff together with the brigade band, which played patriotic airs at intervals. had posts opposite the east gate of the White House

Fhe great East room where were conducted the princes suite. the German ambassador and staff, the American officers and other promi- nent guests, was handsomely dec orated. In these state apartments, as elsewhere. unseemlY display had been carefully avoided. but the rich furniture and draperies of the artis- tically y-arranged vases filled with great clusters of freshly-cut and fra grant American Beauty roses and other blossoms, the evergreen draper ies and the gorgeous uniforms of the prince and his party comhined to make the scene one of exceptional brilliancy and beauty
 It was 10:+5 o'clock when the es- eorting cavalry column swung through the east gate, and at brisk pace passed up the broad drive way lp tue " llle IlOuSt- IltIt dI Iue word of command the column broke into single rank, facing the main en- trance. Another command as the princes carriage passed the gate, and with that snap and precision which has made the Second regiment fa- nous, every saber flashed from it's scabbard and came to the position of present. A detachment of marines headed by its famous band had taken place at the right and left of the main entrance, facing north. Tho first carriage, containing the prince, Secretary Hay and Rear-Admiral Evans drove up at rapid pace, and as it passed under the porte cochere, the Marine band struck up the Ger man national air. which was contin- ued until all the company had left their carriages.
 At the carriage door the prince was met by Assistant Secretary Pearce and the German ambassador. who saluted and presented to him Maj. McCawley, of the marine corps and Capt.

The party was conducted through the main lob by into the Red parlor, thence into the East room. and from there the prince alone was conducted through the Green room to the Blue parlor, where the president was in waiting to receive him. In conformity with diplomatic etiquette the president re ceived the royal visitor in private and without introduction. This was made necessary by the fact that there is now in the United States no repre- sentative of the German nation of sufficiently high rank to present to the president d prince of the blood royal, q brother and personal repre- sentative of the German emperor.
 -Nfter the greetings had been cx- tended the president led the prince into the Red parlor and introduced him to Mrs. Roosevelt and his daughter, Miss Alice Roosevelt After q few words with them, the royal yis- itor was conducted into the Green room and introduced to the members of the cabinet and their ladies'

MAR ON ASSAY OFFICES.
Cripple Creek, Col, In a State of Terror Over Destruction
 of Assay Offices.
SIX OF THEM WRECKED BY ExPLOSIAS.
The Raiders Did Not Hesitate to Jeopardize Human Life. and seri- ors Injuries Were Inflicted Several Persons-The Animus of the Attacks.

Victor Col, Feb. 25.-Cripple Creek is in state of terror owing to pre- concerted attack upon the assay of fees doing business in the district. morning, and following in rapid sue cession, six explosions wrecked as many assay offices in the centers ranging from Victor to Cripple Creek and up to Goldfeld In every in- stance the object sought by the in- eendiaries was accomplished by the destruction of the offices with their fine equipment of delicate balances.
 The raiders did not hesitate to ieopardize life, as all but one of the buildings were also occupied by sleeping families. As it was. men, women and children were hurled out of their beds by the shocks and se- rious injuries inflicted, The full ex- tent of the damage can not be esti- mated.
 In this city the Davenport office was wrecked by two explosions, in velving a loss of fully $l 200. Almost at the same time the assay offices of NandeWalker. Morgan and Williams were treated likewise The loss was approximately as large as Dayen- ports. One man, miner, vas se- verely injured at the explosion at Williams office. He was passing at the moment of the explosion. Fly ing debris struck him in the face gashing his eyes, and may result in total blindness.
 In Cripple Creek Beniamin's assay office, north of the FloreDce and Cripple Creek depot. was blown np.
 In the town of Goldfeld about mile and half north of here, al most simultaneously, Boyce's office and another assay establishment were wrecked. Boyee's family oecu- pied an adjoining room. Mrs. Boyce Was blown out of bed, but escaped without fatal injuries. She was bad ly shocked. ! family living in the other office was also blown out of bed, but escaped serious injury The Sidhl poNdNt NdS bloNH out oI lHt windows at Goldfeld.
 In this city the powder was placed under the building.
 The house in which a family lived next to the Williams assay office here was much damaged, and a woman was much prostrated. Sheriff Rob ertson has called out his deputies, and is taking all means to discover, if possible, the perpetrators of the crimes.
 The general impression here is that the attacks are the result of de- termined effort to rid the district of all high-grade e-purchasing institu- tions.
 For years there has been system atie stealing of rich ore from the mines. amounting to thousands of dollars monthly. It is thought that 50 assayers have been doinga business of buying such ore. Recently the Mine Owners association discovered that shipments of high-grade ore had been made by assayers from this district to the Sibley shelter at San Francis co and a shelter at Salt Lake. but all efforts to stop the traffic were una yailing.
 Bloodhounds from Canon City have been called fer.
