cheers. Men and women shrieked and
yelled and waved their hats and bon
nets. The band footed out ''The Star

platform crying for order. There was no
order, no peace-aothing but heaving and
yelling and bowling.
Finally Chairman Woodruff, after bang

Vice President Shermans name there
was another storm OF cheers.
When he mentioned President Taft the
band struck In with My Country 'Tls OF

When Chairman Woodruff read the cor

If the Chinese prince and the
Sultan of Sulu are brought to-
gether for friendly handclasp on
foreign soil to-day, it will be the
first time in the history of the
world that such royalties ever met.
EmmiSaries from one to the other
took the first step last night to in
troduce them. The Sultan, through
his interpreter, said he would be
glad to meet Prince TSai- Sum.
Prince Tsai-Suun said he would be
glad to meet Sultan Kiram. As a
world lumninary, the prince is the
greatest man, because he can trace
his ancestry back for centuries and
centuries, and an empire of 400,-
100000 people pays homage to
him. But the Sultan is the ruler of
a whole country, though it is a
small island in the Philippines.
PRINCE is WILLING.
IF the Sultan arranges the meeting,
shall be glad 10 see him." said the
Chinese pripca thro,tgt A. fsko,.. .
member Of his party. at the New Willard,
last night. after first asking;
who is the Sultan?"
THE Sultan of Sulu? Why, he's the
er-the Sultan OF Sulu," replied the visl-
tor at the New Willard, where Prince
Tsai-Suup is stopping Hes an Ameri-
can potentate-the only one-ruler Of an
island under the American government. %
Well" said Mr. Chow, III a meeting
can be arranged through the government,
the prince Will be glad 10 meet him."
"sure," Says the Sultan.
Who "a the Prince Of China?" asked
the Sultan, through his interpreter. Mr..
Werble. 'and where is China ,"
why. China is the biggest country in
the world" replied the visitor. at the Ar
lington. where Sultan Kiram and his
royal suite are stopping.
"Oh. yes. Well. if the princes creden-
tials are all right and the meeting can
be arranged, the Sultan will be glad 70
tshake hands with him, though the con-
versation would have to be relayed."
Not Likely, However.
AS the prince and the Sultan are not
likely TO cross each others path to-day,
and this is their last day in Washington,
IT is not considered likely they can be
brought together. though an effort will
be made, just 10 establish a new page in
world history.
The prince met President Taft yester-
day. and the Sultan will meet him to-
day. Both will finish sightseeing to-day,
Prince Tsai-Suun visiting the Naval
Academy. at Annapolis, and departing
later for New York. The Sultan goes 10
Chicago from Washington.
Princes Route ThrOnged.
After his dinner at the White House
with President Taft, Prince Tsai-Suun
was escorted down Pennsylvania avenue
10 his hotel by Company c Of the Fif-
teenth United States Cavalry, and the
attention OF hundreds of pedestrians was
drawn 10 him. He smiled and bowed to
