Early next month Prince Albert / of
Monaco is expected to arrive in the
National Capital. The event will mark
the first time the government of the
United States, in all the 137 years Of its
existence, has had the opportunity OF
welcoming to it's shores one of the
reigning sovereigns of Europe. Rulers
who have been here are Emperor Don
Pedro of Brazil, who was here in 1876,
and King Kalakaua of Hawaii, who
paid us visit many years ago. State
Department officials are studying pre-
cedents and European etiquette in an
ticipation of the early arrival of the
sovereign Prince of Monaco and his
son and heir. Crown Prince Louis, on
board his oceangoing steam yacht
Hirondelle (swallow) for stay of sew
eral weeks on this side of the Atlantic.
Princes Yacht Sighted.
The royal yacht was reported at ST
Johns, Newfoundland, several days ago,
making a leisurely cruise along the
coast to New York. While the State
Department has been advised of the
visit of the Prince of Monaco no word
has been received as to the probable
date of his arrival at New York. 1t is
expected that the official program for
his reception and entertainment in
this country will be prepared by Third
Assistant Secretary Dudley Field Ma
lone, after consultation with his official
associates at the State Department.
Income From Gambling.
Despite the fact that the prince is one
of the chief owners OF the greatest
gambling establishment in the world,
and derives practically all of his large
income from that source. as full-iedged
mfnarch he is said to be entitled to all
tIsS nonors of a regular ruler Of a
sovereign state. including salutes from
the forts and men-of-war of other coun-
tries.
People here will regard the prince with
somewhat mingled feelings While some
may feel repealed by his close connection
with Camille Blanc and the Societe des
Bains de Mer. which is the official name
Of the gambling establishment at Monte
Carlo, others may recall that he enjoys
the distinction of being the first and only
European monarch to raise an American
born girl to an old world throne.
Contributor to Science.
According to continental gossip, the

work, especially in oceanographic re-
searches. For the past twenty years or
more he has by means of his deep-sea
explorations contributed perhaps more

oceanography. His steam yacht Hron-
dele, like its predecessor the Princess
Alice. Is specially constructed and equip
ped with these researches in view, and it
has various contrivances for deep-sea
soundngs, dragnets. etc.

work himself. but employs n staff of
scientists for the purpose. The results
which they have achieved at his ex-
pense are to be found in the great ocean,
