HOLSTRIN, Prussia, Feb. 14.—Prince Henry of Pruss closing his books on America, romped with his children most of the day. He and the princess and their children went out coasting again. Prince Henry went down hill on his stomach, made a descent standing. She looked qulto girlish as she balanced gracefully on the swittly-moving sled, Prince Henry went to the Yacht club last vening. It is a regular thing for him to spend Thursday evenings there. It is un- derstood that the young fellows stayed away from the club that evening. About the toast was drank to a chorus of “hochs. In a bunch of newspaper clippings that came to the prince this morning from Ber- lin was one which described the “Hoben- zollern punch,” invented by a Broadway bartender. On the margin of the clipping the emperor, in his own handwriting, had written: “Schrecklicher katzenjammer An Morgen” (What a headache In the morn- ing). Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia have seen many curious things in the American papers, of which numbers were recelved during the last fortnight, and they have had a lot of fun over them. But they have not seen a line, said a member of the household, “that they knew was no. kindly meant.” Every preparation for the voyage to the United States is completed, Carts evening took away the last pile of baggage from the castle yard. The prince’s special train leaves here at 8 o'clock in the morn- The princess will not go to Bremer Haven to bid the prince farewell. 7 | PRINCE’S VISIT NOT POLITICAL to Make Friemdly Call onm All Americans, Says German Paper. BERLIN, Feb. 14.—The Berlin Neuste Nachrichsten today devoted a leader to the departure of Prince Henry, and wishes that his enjoyment of American hospitality be not interfered with. ““The mission upon which the prince goes as the representative of Emperor Willlam," says the paper, “is In no sense political, in spite of the political character imputed to it in unfriendly quarters in order to create divisions among the American people and spoil the visit. The visit of Prince Henry 1s Intended for the whole American people, and not merely for the German ele. ment in the United States. No sensible German statesman wishes to see German- Americans other than good American citi- zens. The practical sense of the Amer- icans has frustrated all attempts through political maneuvers to destroy the har- mony of the prince's trip.” MISS ROOSEVELT IN GERMANY t She Vielt Am- te After BEd. ward's Coronati (Copyright, 132, by Press Publishing Co.)

His airship is a tattered wreck, while tonight his motor lies at the bottom of the Bay of Monaco. The morning broke gloriously, but as there was considerable wind, Santos- Dumont decided not to attempt flight. Toward 2 p. m., however, the wind dropped and the weather appeared to be perfect. With the exception of an ominous-looking cloud hanging over the hill called Tete de Chien, which overlooks the bay, the sky was clear and blue. At this hour Santos-Dumont announced that he would make a trip in his airship. A blg crowd assembled at the entrance of the aerodrome, and as the large doors of the bullding rolled back, the airship emerged at twenty minutes of 3. A num- ber of steam yachts and launches, includ ing the prince of Monaco's yacht, Prince Alice, and a launch belonging to Eugene Higgins, with parties on board, were cruis- ing about the bay with the intention of following the balloon. Cheers greeted Santos-Dumont as his airship rose, and its head pointed for the middle of the ba: Tt was soon noticed, however, that in- stead of maintaining its usual equilibrium the balloon rose and pitched in a way that created considerable anxlety among the spectators. Continues His Flight. The aeronaut, however, kept on his flight and, pointing his whip to the left, continued to ascend untll the long guide- rope was quite twenty feet out of the water. In turning the balloon the guide- rope caught in the screw, and this, with the erratle working of the airship, created = situation of great danger. At the same time & squail burst from Tete de Chien, ana Santos-Dumont tilted the head of his bal- loon upward in order to disengage the guiderope, but In doing so the ballast shifted, and the ofl used to run the motor began to spread. Fearing an explosion, the inventor pulled the emergency cord. This ripped the velope of the balloon, which at once began rapidly to descend. Santos-Dumont did not lose his head. He could easily be seen from the shore, watching the varlous parts of the airship. At this time the balloon had slightly righted itself, and the lower part, having become empty, the airship dropped slantingly toward the plgeon shooting grounds which border the bay. Excitement Grows Inten In front of these grounds there lles a ‘excitement reet of sharp rocks, and the it on share became iutense, us . In the meanwhilé the steam launches in the bay were making toward the spot where it was supposed the balicon would fall. The first to approach was Princess Alice, belonging to the prince of Monaco, and those on board seized the balloon's guide- rope, which had become disentangled. At this time a sharp cracking sound made by the motor could be heard and the screw was seen to revolve. The balloon then slowly rose for a few moments. But the motor stopped again and the alrship descended a second time until Santos-Du- mont was immersed up to his armpits in the water. The scene was witnessed with. intense excitement by the onlookers ashore and afloat. Maintaine His Courage. The meronaut with the pluck which M characterized him throughout his danger- ous experiments, could be seen standing up in his car gesticulating and shouting directions to those towing him toward Princess Alice. At 3:30 the end of the balloon burst, and the prince of Monaco, who was on board the launch, then gave orders to rescue Santos-Dumont. The launch then ca alongside the airship, which threatened any time te smother Santos-Dumont. The Iatter was pulled into the boat. The prince of Monaco took him by the hand, urged him to allow himself to be taken on hoard the yacht to dry himself and change his clothing. The aeronaut energetically re- fused to do this until the remnants of his alrship had been saved. With the sea- ‘water dripping from his clothes and look- ing like a water rat, the inventor stood in the bows of the launch shouting directions for the salvage of his airship. It was Impossible to save more than the k envelope. The motor had to be left to its fate and it sank. The launch on which the inveutor was then made for the shore. The great assemblage on the shore mc- claimed him with extreme enthusiasm. His first words of a hurried interview, obtained a8 ho made his way toward his residence were: I am not discoura My trip to Cape Martin fs_only postponed. 1_will as woon as | can get ready. This Accident. was due to the ‘entanglement of the gulde rope with the screw and wires ofthe balloon. The balloon was not Tully inflated when I started.

LIVERPOOL, Feb. 14.—Lord Rosebery re- ceived a tremendous ovation at the great liberal demonstration here this evening. His lengthy speech, the principal ome of the evening, was attentively received and heartily applauded. He failed to throw any fresh light upon the war situation, but he strongly emphasized his hostility to the Irish party and his desire to utterly alienate it from the liberal camp. During his remarks Lord Rosebery said tbat the greatest change had been under- gone. Mr. Gladstone's bills were dead and burled, the Irish party had now indignantly repudiated any connection with the liberal party, and he believed they had acted wisely. It was both to their interests and to those of the liberal party. The Irish leaders had played their full hand. They bad demanded an independent Parliament in Dublin, and thereupon he had cried “halt.”” This remark was greeted with ap- plause. Continuing, Lord Rosebery said: 1 &¢m not prepared, at any time or up. E _any rcmuutu,’nu th. an eyer ¢ T the ot sentiments in m.pmoe y eneu on Mnmln(%“ Regarding the war, Lord Rosebery sald he had been ridiculed for the suggestion of casual peace negotiations in some way- side inn, but he thought the mission of Dr. Kuyper bore a resemblance to tuch a course. He thought the reply to Dr. Kuyper was fitting and dignified, but the government had aoted wrongly in declining to recken with the Boer delegates in Burope and allow them to send a deputa- tion to South Africa. ‘The trouble with the government,” sald Lord Rosebery, “is that they are always thinking of the present. I try to think of the future, when Boer and Briton will have to live together in South Africa.” The speaker appealed for an immediate and searching inquiry into the remount scandals, commented generally upon the government's seeming want of a |definite policy in Malta and Wel Hai Wel. In con- clusion, he that his hearers would not be too ready to allow thelr hands to be tied by the Angio-Japanese alliance.
