The militiamen were commanded by General George H. Harrles, who,* with his general staff and non-com- missjoned staff, together with the brigade bend, which played patriotic airs at inter- vals, held posts opposite the east gate of the White House. The double line of sentinels left a gap of four feet in the avenue and two feet in the Fifteenth street hill, along the treasury, between them and the people massed along the curb. They wore undress uniformd with overcoats, forage caps, leggings and white gloves. The naval battalion was in its prescribed uniform. Prince in Naval Uniform. On this occasion the prince appeared hr the rich uniform of the admiral of the Im- perial German navy, dark blue in color with white facings and rich gold embroider.

Rarefy in its histéry Has the White House been the scene of A more brilliant spectacle than today, wheh President Roosevelt wel- comed to the United States Prince Henry of Prussia. Bver since the announcethent that the prince would visit this country as the personal representative of his brother, the present emperor, the president and members of the administration have taken a lively personal fimterest in the arrangement for his reception. The matter been the subject of frequent discus slon at the meeting of the cabinet and the detatls of the plans for the entertainment amd comfort of the Toyai visitor, have con- stantly been referred to the president for suggestion or approval.

Escorts of the Prinece. Walking on the left of the prince was Becretary Hay and following him came Ad- miral Evans, the German ambassador, Gen- eral Corbin and the members of the prince's suite. The party was conducted through the main lobby into the Red parlor, thence into the East room and from there the prince alope was conducted through the Green room to the Blue parlor, where the president was walting to receive him. In conformity with diplomatic etiquette the president recelved the royal visitor in pri- vate and without introduction. This was necessary from the fact that there is now in the United States no representative of the German nation of sufficlent rank to present a prince of blood royal, a brother and per- sonal representative of the German em- peror. After the greetings had been exchanged the president led the prince Into the Red parlor and {ntroduced him to his wife and his daughter. After a few words the royal visitor was conducted into the Green room 'and introduced to the members of the cab- inet and their ladies. After the ceremony the following statement wae made by As- tant Secretary Pearse that the conver- tion between the president and prince was. of a formal sature and had no political significance further than that contained in the usual ghneral expreseions of inter- national amity and goed will. Ceremony Brief. The party then procéeded to the East room, where th¢ mémbers of the prince's stite were Introduced to the president. The entire ceremony otcupied Just thirty min- utes, the party arriving at 10:45 and de- partylog at 11:15 o'clock. On the party reappearing the Marine band played “‘Hands Across the Sea” and with a few sharp military commands the drive to the German embassy was begun. Prince Henry arrived at the German em- bassy shortly after 11 o'clock, the approach of the party being announcéd by the shrill notes of cavalry bugles. Then came the clatter of many hoofs and the rattle of sabres and spurs as the escort of troopers galloped down Massachusetts avenue to Its intersection with Thomas Circle, near which point the embassy is located. The prince occupled a carriage with Admiral BEvans, while back of them followed the carriages of tid distingulshed naval and military officers of the prince’s suite, and the members of the German embassy stafr. A battalion of engineers occupled the ave- nue immediately fronting the embassy.

The prince has met the president and the ‘welcome he received was genuinely hearty and open-handed and he, in turn, showed unmistakable evidence of the pleasure it gavé him to meet the president of the Ameri¢an people.

A detachment of marines, headed by its famous band, had taken place at the right and left of the main entrance, facing the main entrance. The first carriage, con- taining Secretary Hay and Rear Admiral Evans, drove up at a rapid pace, and as it passed under the portecochre the Marine band struck up the German national air, which was continued until all the company had left their carriages.

Imperial Flag Over Embassy. Over the embassy floated a flag which has never been seen in Washington before, the personal flag of the imperial family of Germary. It showed not only the colors of the German nation, but also in the cen- ter the imperial coat of arms. Along the front of the embasey entrance were looped the German colors, intertwined with gar- lands of laurel and tall green pine tops. Above nmeighboring residences floated the SBtars and Stripes, while ' the residence of C. H. Kauffmann of the BEvening Btar, Iimmediately alongside the embfssy, displayed the Ger. ‘man well as the American colors. Just before the embassy door stood a guard of honor often engineers, six-footers, every- vne of them, In their bright uniforms, as rigid as statu Prince Henry returned the salute of the officer ‘and them passed inside. Once within the German Ofllbl-!. his imperial highness was, indeed, at home, for in aiplomatic parlance this was the same . as the native eolt’ of the' fatherland. The first b salutations ‘now gave way to a generous German welcome. The prifice was escorted up the maln stalrway to the #pacious reception room used as a ball room. At every hand ' the Germad colors gave a friendly welcome to the imperial guest. Not only were the impérial colors here, but every state in Germany particl- pated In the welcome, each by a silken flag—Prusaia in white and black, Baden iIn red and gold, Hesse in:white and blue, and thus throughout the states, each hav- ing its own flag. Among His Gwn Countrymen. The prince and his party laid aside their wraps and the confusion of arrival gave way to the calni dignity with which affairs about the prince are conducted. Alt! there was excesslve formality, yet at’ all times there was that deferende die a mem- ber of the fmperial family. The gntire first floor of the embassy had. bedn placed at the disposal of the prince and hjs personal staff and soon the drawing room, the Ja- panese room, the smoking room and the ambassador's study bad thelr groups of guests and officlals, Prince Henry had as his private study the Japanese room, with its rich Oriental furnishings and curios, even the wal ing the characteristic Japanese ambassador’s office also was at his dis. posal when occasion required. The main body of the prince's staff, after the call at the White Hous proceeded to the new Willargd hotel, w! covering the entire first floor, were at thetr dispesal. President Retu| Tremendous cheering of the crowds at 11:40 nounced the coming of President Roosevelt to the embassy to return the call of Prince Heury. The president drove in an open landau with Colonel ‘Bingham, his naval aide, Commander Cowles follow- ing In a carriage. The cheering was con- tinuous as the president drove along and he had his ellk hat off his head much of the time 'in recognition of the repeated demonstrations. - As the president stepped out of the car- riage the German ambassador was at the threshold to greet him. There was a mo- mentary exchange of gréeting and then the president passed up. the stairway to the drawing room, where Prince Henry was awaiting bis coming. The prince stepped forward and greeted the president most cordially and there was an interchange of amenities, The president and prince re- mained together for about ten minutes, be- ing left alone at first and belng jolned by ambassador when their personal greet- ln. were completed. There was no es- Change of formal addresses during the visit, which was strigtly one of official etiquette, although it gave. opportunity for expred- fons of mutual cordlality and good will between the two pations.

VIEWS DRAMATIC SCENE IN UPPER BODY Prince Expresses Keen Delight ot His Reception and Entertainment by the Federal Law- makers. WASHINGTON, Feb, 24.—The visit of Prince Henry and his suite to the capitol this afternoon must have been not only & gratifying experience to the royal visitor on account of the warm and flattering re- ception he recelved at both the house and senate and of the opportunity it afforded of meeting perscnally the leaders of both houses, but it must have been an extremely Interesting experlence as well. The prince not only saw the houses of the Ameriean parliament at work, but in the senate he witnessed one of those rare and intensely dramatic moments which come in that body occasionally at the conclusion of a great debate. The prince and his party, in earriages, escorted by a troop of cavalry and flanked on either side by a bicyele platoon of po- Nee, arrived at the eastern entrance of the capitol at 4 o'clock, exactly on schedule time. Prince Henry no longer wore the brilliant uniform and plumed chapeau in which he had appeared earlier In the day. He was attired in the simple dark blue fatigue uniform of the German admiral and wore the flat German naval cap of his rank. The members of his suite wore fatigue uniforms and the German ambas- sador had exchanged his court dress for & conventional frock suit. In the matter of gold lace and brald, General Corbin and Admiral Evans, still in the splendor of full-dress uniform, far outshone the prince and his staff. Met at Entrance. The party was met at the great bronze doors leading into the rotunda by a com- mittee from the house, consisting of Mr. Hitt of Illinols, Mr. Dinsmore of Arkansas and General Grosvenor of Dhio. Brief cor- Qial greetings having been exchanged, the prince and his party, under the protection of halt a hundred police, were conveyed through solid walls of people packed in the rotunda and statuary hall to the room of Speaker Henderson in the rear of the house lobby. Here the speaker, who Wi awaiting him, greeted the prince with a warm handshake as Mr. Hitt presented “his royal highness General Henderson invited the prince to be seated, while the German ambassador made the other introductions, and then In a few words formally welcomed him. “Your royal highness,” he sald, turning to the prince, who instantly arose, “it gives me very sincere pleasure, in behalt of the United States house of representa- tives, to greet you with a cordial and hearttelt welcome and it gives me all the greater pleasure as you come represent- ing in an eminent degree that triendly teeling which exists between your nation and ours and representing also the cordlal feeling of the illustrious head of the Ger- man empire. Prince Thauks Speaker. The prince thanked the speaker for his courtesy and without further ceremony the party proceeded to the gallery of the house, walking up the marble stairs instead of using the elevator. The surrounding gal- leries were crowded to the doors and below on the floor, in the long concentric circles of"§he vast Lall, the memibers sat at their desks. His appearance at the door of the gallery caused an enthusiastic demonstra- tlon. : No sooner had his tall, graceful figure been framed In the doorway when & spontaneous outburst of applause swept floor and gallery. The prince paused, smiled through his blonde beard and acknowledged the greetings with a slight bow. Prince Henry seemed interested, ing attentively for several minutes to what Mr. Gilbert had to say and appearing much pleased at the hearty applause which fol- lowed the statement of the Kentucky mem- ber that the “Anglo-Saxon and German races are one.' The party remained about ten minutes in the gallery, and then descended to the waye and means committee room, where a reception was to be held. The demonstr: tion the prince left the gallery was even more enthusiastic than when he entered. A number of members rose to their feet and cheered. The house at once adjourned to afford the members an opportunity to meet the royal visitor personally. Reception is Informal.

Following th upon the prince came that of the com- missioners of the District of Columbla, who called to exténd to the prince the wel come of the ocity of Washington.

The president's train pulled out of the station a few min- utes before the one occupled by Prince democrats being seemingly quite as anxious to enjoy the honor as the republicans. Mr. Grow of Pennsylvania, the venerable ex-speaker, was one of those in whom the prince showed a special interest after he bad been informed by Mr. Hitt that the Pennsylvanian had presided over the house fifty years ago. Just the reception, which scarcely more than ten minutes, w the senate committee, consisting of Senators Cullom of Illinois, Lodge of Massachusetts and Morgan of Alabama, ap- peared and after being presented escorted the prince and his party to the senate. In golng to the otper end of the capitol the party agaln moved through a mass of people cougregated in the otunda and there was much hand-clappin be passed. The prince was interested in everything, remarked upon the polished marble columns in statuary ball, the great historic paint- ings in the rotunda and the frescoes in the corridors.

The driver struck the horses and awsy they went up the avenue beyond nontrol The driver was able to turn the two of the most dangerous curves, but ho could mot check the speed of the horees, which ran faster as the cheers of the crowd, which mistook the carriage for the prince’s equippas fell upon their startled ears. Mr. Plerce passed every- thing in the line with great rapidity, in- deed the pole of his carriage swept close to the unconscious head of Secretary Hay, who sat beside the prince, and did not at the moment realize that Mr. Plerce was in danger of his life. Fortunately an ave- Bue had been cleared of other vehicles by the police and dlstrict militia, who lined up as sentinels along the route.
