Beehler, who is officially representing ' Embassador White, wished the Prince warm words a good voyage, telling v{|im he would be a most wcIcome guest s jftf the United States. After him, Con- ?pul Didterich said: "If Your Royal Highness will permit, , % have the honor to convey to you the . ibost representative and cordial greet- f tngs of His Excellency, the American Ambassador, Andrew D.

Excessive precautions were taken at the steamer docks at Southampton to guard Prince Henry of Prussia, who was on board the steamship Kronprinz Wilhelm.

The dinner at the Auditorium will be ready at 7:30 p. m., and if possible the prince will start for the First regi­ ment armory at 8:30 p. m. This will be quick work, but the prince must spend an hour or more at the armory, aad he win have to appear in his box 1?; 1° • - don was not permitted to draw up to its platform until the Kronprinz Wil­ helm had been made fast. Even then the steamship tickets of the South­ ampton passengers were repeatedly scrutinized. These precautions, it is stated, were taken upon the responsibility of the steamship company and against the wishes of Prince Henry, who scorns the intimation that his life may be sought by an Anarchist. As the steamer drew alongside the quay Prince Henry raised the yachting cap he was wearing in response to the greeting of the few privileged persons awaiting his arrival. Among these were Captain Koerper, naval attache of the German Embassy, and other embassy attaches, and Consul Kellar, but Prince Metternich, the German Ambassador, was unable to leave Lon­ don, he being indisposed. It had been proposed to arrange a civic welcome for Prince Henry, but the idea was abandoned owing to a politely conveyed intimation that the time would be too short When the steamer left the harbor Prince Henry, who was on the naviga­ tion bridge, repeatedly removed his cap and waved farewell to those on the quay. Then the band of the Second Marine Division, which accompanies the Prince, played the German national anthem, following it with "Rule, Bri­ tannia," the strains of which gradually faded as the vessel dropped down Southampton water. During the trip from Bremen the Kronprinz Wilhelm communicated with the North Foreland station by means of wireless telegraphy. Prince Henry sent six messages, which were retransmitted from Ramsgate, one being to his wife and another to Em­ peror Wilhelm He subsequently sent messages by way of the Isle of Wight to Germany. En<>eror Wilhelm de­ sired that an attempt be made to keep in touch with the steamer throughout the voyage and everything has been prepared to carry out his desire. The Kronprinz Wilhelm arrived at Cherbourg, France, after a pleasant and windleRs crossing of the channel. The steamer staid here for only twenty minutes to transship the cargo. Mean­ while the band on deck played two se­ lections. At 9 o'clock, under the most auspicious conditions, the Kronprinz Wilhelm sailed for New York. at the Auditorium not later than 10:30 p. m. It will mean a strenuous even­ ing for him. Next day Prince Henry will pay hom­ age to Abraham Lincoln before £$t. Gauden's great statue in Lincoln park at noon, and immediately afterwarid will be driven to the Germania club, where an elaborate luncheon will be ~»ftread for him, and where the leading Germans of the city will be his hosts. Somewhere in the morning Gov. Van Sant and the Minnesota delegation will be given an opportunity to pay their respects to him and tell him what the Northwest thinks of him and his imperial brother. The stock yards wants to claim at least En hour of the Prince's morning. The big packers and cattler a.i and horse dealers believe that a view of the city with the "yards" left out .would give the prince a very imper­ fect idea of Chicago-. dissolubly linked with Admiral Dewey and the victory of Manila Bay. Then steaming away from the naval anchorage off Tompkinsville, the Ho- henzollern's commander disembarked at Shooter's Island. There he studied the graceful speed lines of the Meteor III., the German Emperor's fleet new schooner-yacht soon to take her chris­ tening plunge into the icy waters of the Kill von Kull. Three lit types of American handi­ craft he had beheld before he returned to his own superb vessel--the racer fit to compete for an emperor's prestige, the cruiser and the battleship fit to fight for a nation's honor. A better object lesson of the versatility of America's nautical genius it would have been hard to find. The United "States cruiser Cincin­ nati arrived here from Hampton Roads. She anchored off Tompkinsville, Staten Island, near the Illinois and Olympia, to await the coming of Prince Henry. The cruiser San Francisco, which com­ pletes the number of warships to take part ;n the reception, arrived here soon after the Cincinnati. The first and second naval battalion, detailed as a guard of honor at the launching of the Meteor on Feb. 25, will be fully prepared to protect Prince Henry and President Roosevelt, orders having been issued by Captain Jacob W. Miller, the commanding officer, that ball cartridges be issued to all the men of the battalion, about 400 men of whom will be on duty at the shipyard during the launching ceremonies. 9 a. m., and arrival in Washington at lt£20 o'clock.

Herr Von Holleben, the German Am­ bassador at Washington, has complet­ ed arrangements for the dinner to be given at the embassy in honor of Prince Henry. The table will be in the form of a horseshoe, President Roosevelt sitting at the right of Prince Henry. Directly opposite the President and the Prince will be the German Ambassador. Mrs. Roosevelt will be escorted to dinner by Prince Henry, and will sit at his left. President Roosevelt will immediate­ ly follow the Prince, escorting Lady Pauncefote, wife of the dean of the diplomatic corps. The German Ambassador will enter the dining room escorting Miss Alice Roosevelt. Prince Henry will propose the first toast, "To the President of the United States," and President Roosevelt will give the second toast, "To the Em­ peror of Germany." The change with regard to inviting ladies to the dinner was determined by Emperor William, as he especially wished to have the President's wife and daughter at the banquet. The Kaiser's Plans. Rumor That Mlai Roosevelt I* to Be In­ vited to Berlin. It is stated in American circles in London that when Miss Roosevelt Nice and its neighborhood hold the record for holiday traffic.

Rear Admiral Evans had the squad­ ron of honor in perfect shape on the arrival of Prince Henry at New York. When the Kronprinz Wilhelm, having on board the royal visitor, arrived, the admiral and his staff boarded her at quarantine. When the liner passed Admiral Evans' squadron, the vessels manned the military lops, turrets and rails. A salut£ of twenty-one guns was fired by each ship, the German flag being broken at the main at the first gun. At the last gun of the sa­ lute, each vessel hauled down the Ger­ man flag and rehoisted the American flag. When the Hohenzollern hoisted the imperial standard, a salute of twenty- one guns was fired by each ship of the squadron. After the imperial standard bad been saluted, command­ ing officers of the squadron visited the Hohenzollern and paid their respects to Prince Henry. The the aq^adroa ware U- • F..: George W. Boyd.

Messrs. J. E. Blum and J. Crumper of Manchester, Washtenaw County. Michigan, paid a visit to Alberta last summer and saw there a Mr. Shantz, one of the good old Pennsylvania stock, who had come recently--some seven years ago--from Ontario with $24 in his pocket. He has certainly prospered, as he now has over seventy head of cattle, has a good loghouse framed over; also a good barn, and in all respects looks a thrifty and well- to-do farmer. He had some good crops of oats and barley. After spend­ ing some days in Calgary and Ed­ monton they returned to Regina, As- siniboia, and looked around the coun­ try north to Lumsden and Balgonie, where the crops appeared very prom­ ising and heavy; continuing up the Regina and Long Lake road they came to Saskatoon on the crossing of the South Saskatchewan River. Of this district they say: "The country here pleased Ha better than any we have seen. We drove out eighteen miles in a northwesterly di­ rection through the Smith settlement. This is a wonderful district; the growth was splendid; all kinds of grains and roots were perfection. The older settlers had good buildings of all kinds and looked very prosperous; In fact, we came to the conclusion that we had found what we were looking for, a good country. While the nature of the soil changes and is in some parts light, in others stony, and again heavy, generally speaking it leaves nothing to be desired. Hay and water are also in abundance and wood can be found along the river slopes and islands. We have decided to locate there and shall certainly advise our friends to do likewise. We also trust that this report may have the effect of drawing the attention of land seekers to this district, and can honestly ad­ vise all such to locate there. They will find a good thing. As farmers ourselves, from a good district in Michigan, we have come to the con­ clusion that, properly farmed, western Canada will grow almost anything."

Albert William, Prince Henry of Prussia, third ranking admiral of the imperial German navy, is every Ineh i sailor. Favorite of his imperial parents, coming to manhood amid na­ tional conditions particularly condu­ cive to a life of luxury and ease, Prince Henry has chosen to work hard for nearly twenty-five years, and, as the premier scion of the kingdom has dedi­ cated his best talents to the sea ser­ vice of the nation. The Prince will be 40 years old on Aug. 14 of this year. He is just three years and seven months the Junior. of his imperial brother, Emperor William II. He mar­ ried in Berlin in 1888, Princess Irene Qf Hesse. From this union, one of the conspicuously happy marriages of royal Europe, there have been three 30ns--Princes Waldemar, Sigismund md Heinrlch, aged, respectively 13, 6 and 2 years. They are destined to In­ herit the maritime inclinations of their father, if there be virtue in a birth­ place, for all three scanned their firat horizon at Kiel, Prince Henry's naval station. The first German prince to visit United States territory has upon four previous occasions sailed far from the fatherland. One of the journeys took him around the world. By way of the Cape Verde Islands, he cruised through the South Atlantic, around Cape Horn a.nd thrpygh the Pacific to Japan and China, where he tarried for almbbt two Fears. In the spring of 1880 he started home, touching the Cape of Good Hope and St. Helena. Two years later he crossed the Atlantic again, upon this occasion as junior commanding officer of the corvette Olga, whose captain, Baron von Seckendorff, as court mar­ shal of Prince Henry's official house­ hold, will accompany him to America. For thirteen years following, Prince Henry occupied himself with the ceaseless activities attendant upon the birth and development of Germany's modern navy. In 1897 he found him­ self a full-fledged flag officer. When the Chinese port of Ki&chow was taken by the Kaiser a few months later he dispatched his brother to East Asia as the commander of the second division of German cruisers. His de­ parture from Kiel, aboard hiB first flagship, the Deutschland, was the cen­ ter of a fervent German naval demon­ stration. Cruising through the friend­ ly waters of China, Japan, Siam, Ko­ rea and the Russian possessions along the Amur, chance found Prince Henry in eastern seas during the bristling days following the battle of Manila, and. when Emperor William was pleased to recall Admiral von Died- richs, the command of all Germany's sea forces in the Asiatic region fell very naturally to the Prince. As every American officer who met him in those days will testify, his career was marked by tact, ability and kindness. Prince Henry's distinguishing char­ acteristic has been love and regard for the men behind the guns and beneath the deck. A disciplinarian, he has still found it compatible to rule with gen­ tleness and consideration. He knows his ships from fighting-top to keel. He has mastered the practical side of navy things and understands the armor strength and bunker capacity, as well as maneuvers and strategy. He is in­ tensely modest, almost to the point of retirement. Prince Henry was the favorite son of both his late father and " mother. Once when Senator Pendleton of Ohio, then United States Minister to Berlin, was received in audience by Emperor Frederick, the American diplomat spoke in admiration of Crown Prince William, to whom he had been pre­ sented the day before. "Yes," said Emperor Frederick, "William is a fine boy, but wait until you see my Henry!" Next to navy matters, yachting claims first place in Prince Henry's professional affections. He is even a more ardent water sportsman than his brother, besides being a practical yachtsman. Prince Henry sails his own craft with consummate skill. The Irene, named after his wife, has many a time won a Kiel regatta cup under the personal guidance of its royal owner. His keenest delight is to scramble into a thirty-footer with two friends, and, in duck flannel, luff and tack and splash through a smashing contest. The wetter he gets, as the result of a choppy spin, the better he likes the game. Special Pullman Car. Magnificent Coach Designed for the Use of the Prince. The Wilmington shops of the Pull­ man Palace Car company only recently completed work on the handsome car Idler, which will be used by Prince Henry of Prussia and his suite during their tour of the country. The Idler is a combination observa­ tion and stateroom sleeper, and is one of the finest cars ever fitted out in the Wilmington shops. The Interior decorations are of bronze tapestry and the curtains are of brown silk. Kaiser Wants News. Prtaee Henry Ordered to Make Fall K*> port of ills Travels. Emperor William has ordered that a brief report of the visit of Prince Henry be cabled to him daily from the United States.

When the prince visits the Lincoln monument in Lincoln park, Chicago, March 4, he will place thereon an elaborate wreath, which will be com­ posed of laurel and American Beauty roses and bound with ribbons in the German colors--red, white and black.
