WARSHIPS WILL ESCORT
PRINCE ADALBERT HERE
Kaiser's Son to Make Headquarters
at Newport, r. MANY Enter
tainments Planned.

When Prince Ada1bert Ferdinand Victor
of Prussia. the third son of the German
kaiser. makes his visit TO the United
States the coming summer he will be
escorted by a squadron of German war
ships. That courtesy is intended as a
return for the visit Of the United States
warshfp squadron to Kiel last summer
The representative capacity accorded to
Prince Henry of Prussia, the kaiser
brother. when he was the guest of the
United States in 1901. will not be held
by Adalbert on his coming visit. II has
been carefully pointed out that the young
prince will come solely in his naval capac-
ity, as holding naval command in
foreign waters for the first time. Never
theless he will visit the chief cities Of
the United States, as we'll as touch with
his ships the principal harbors on the
Atlantic coast.
Prince Adalbert is known as the sailor
son of the emperor. He is handsome
bachelor of twenty-seven, and for a wear
or more has been in command of a fleet
of torpedo boats with headquarters at
KEEL
He will make the trip to the United
States on the protected cruiser Bremen,
to which he is to be attached. The
Bremen is the eastern American station
ship of the German fleet, and spends its
time in visiting the various ports OF
North and South America, including the
West Indies. but the ports of the United
States are its favorite ports of call. 1t
has been arranged that the prince shall
have the naval rank of lieutenant com
mander, and that he shall remain on this
station about two years.
1t is probable that headquarters will
he established at Newport. r. l.. where
the German embassy here will be es-
ia biished for the summer season. Suit
able quarters will be provided at New
port for the royal party. and II is eN-
pected that considerable entertaining will
be done. All the time that Prince Adal-
bert can spare from his naval duties will
be devoted to seeing the new world and
getting acquainted with its people and
institutions.

HE D W. ~. ~ ALBANIA, .
Atlanta, Sept. 15.-The 1000 and
odd Negroes from north, south and
east, who attended the Odd Fellows
convention here last week, left the
city yesterday singing a mighty hymn
Of praise for Atlanta and their trat-
ment while here.
Everybody and everything came in
for share OF the praise. The Wis
itors were Hospitality received by the
local Negries, heroic exertions were
made to give them a good time, the
substantial white citizens of the city
encouraged the order, courtesy was
the order Of every day, and the police
handled the great crowds in a man
ner that was tactful and pleasing.
I'VE have certainly enjoyed our stay
and it has been the greatest conven-
ton in our history" said q Negro
from Chicago who Is high in the
councils Of the order. I'VE could
find no ason and Dixon line unless 1t
was that on this side our reception
was more cordial than it has been
anywhere else." &c
The convention broke up Saturday
morning at o'clock, when the police
interfered with a growing disturbance
that was likely to prove serious. Up
to this time everything had been un.
usually quiet and orderly. Balloting
for Grand Master was in progress,
with Benjamin ]. Davis, Of Atlanta,
running strong against the incum-
bent, e. H. Morris of Chicago.
Henry Lincoln Johnson, Of Wash
ington, was presiding at the request
OF the Grand Master, who was at work
electioneering on the floor. Before
Georgia could be called, sure to regis
ter 986 votes for Davis, Morris is said
to have gone back to the stand and
adjourned the meeting. This was an
effort on his part, say the local Ne
groes, to make 1t appear that the
southern delegations were trying to
usurp all the power, and elect south
ern man by force, even calling in the
police.
The adjournment did not take
place, however, until motion to meet
again in sixty days and elect the
Grand Master was put by Johnson and
was carried. This meeting will also
be held here II accommodations can
be secured In the meantime Morris
is Grand Master under the election
Of two years ago-Atlanta Constitu-
ton.
