Prince Henry of Prussia saw last
night by the glare of lights, was pre-
light of the sun. The welcome which
he received last night was repeated
and emphasized and he was given fur
ther opportunity to enjoy his expressed
desire of meeting American citizens at
close range. During the day he list
ened to an address from the Central
Bund, of st. Paul, placed a wreath
on the Lincoln monument in Lincoln
park and enjoyed luncheon and re-
ception at Germania club. The pres
entation of an address by Governor
Van SAINT was the first detail of the
ceived the governor and the committee
accompanying him in his private par
lor after he had eaten breakfast.
The prince said in response to the ad-
dress that he priced the address very
highly as another expression OF good
wishes that had come to him every
where as ambassador of his brother, the
emperor II viii! give it to the emperor
and / am sure he will be as grateful to
the people of Minnesota as | am per-
sonally.'
The prince, contrary to expectations
arose early. But he was no more en-
ergetic than the crowd. By $3.50 o'clock
fully 5000 people packed the sidewalks
in front of the hotel. Photographers
stood at every vantage point ready to
snatch likeness of the prince when he
emerged 1t was nearly 10 before their
patience was rewarded. The prince
having two hours at his disposal. con-
cluded that a carriage drive about the
city would best please him. AS the
long cavalcade, unheralded, sped thru
the streets, knots of people rushed
from buildings, generally too late to. see
the prince, whose carriage was near the
head of the line. The first stop was
made at the magnificent building of the
Illinois Trust and Savings Bank. The
Rookery, one of the city's finest build
ings, was next visited. 1t is but short
block from the bank and the prince dis
dained to enter his carriage for a trip.
With a stride which the pedestrian
might have cnvied he walked thru the
crowd, while the detectives guarding
him quickened their steps to keep up.
Both at the bank and the Rookery,
when he came out crowd awited him
and cheered Justify. The prince seemed
pleased at the demonstrations and re-
peatedly touched his cap in courteous
answer. In the carriage with him
were Robert Il. Lincoln, Mayor Harri-
son and Rear Admiral Evans. The
mayor and Mr. Lincoln pointed out the
objects of interest which were passed.
In this manner the prince was shown
thru the retail and wholesale districts.
A short stop was made at the public IL
brary.
At II o'clock the party entered car
riages waiting to convey it to Lin
coin park and Germania club. In the
Harrison, Rear Admiral Evans and
Secretary of War Robert L. Lin
coin. From nearly every door and
window along streets where the Prince
passed handkerchiefs were waived and
the crowds shouted greeting. The
Prince was kept busy touching his cap
in response. Rear Admiral Evans was
also the recipient of considerable at
tention. While the decorations along
the route We're not profuse, they were
sufficiently in evidence to give the
streets a semi-holiday appearance.
Numerous pictures of the Prince in
the windows We're noted. A dense
crowd, numbering thousands, crushed
about the sonlbre statue of the great
emancipation when the Prince and his
encourage came upon the scene.
Tightly stretched ropes surrounded th.
statue to keep back the crowd while
