BALTIMORE, Feb. 24—The train which is bearing Prince Henry of Prussia to the national capital made an exceedingly slow run from Jersey City to Baltimore, but there was no desire to make time with it. The train left Jersey City at 1 o'clock and it was arranged to so time its run that it would not reach Washington until after 10 o’clock. The Prince retired shortly after the special began i / He 1 s private car.

The start was made so late that there were no crowds anywhere. In Maryland during the early hours of the morning some crowds gathered at the stations, -but no_stops were made. The Prince’s stay in Baltimore was ne- ces: v very brief. The train arrived at 9 and was met at the Union station by the Mayor and an escort of twenty-four prom- inent citizens. Two hundred members of the various German singing societies were also admitted to the station, but none of the big crowd which congregated in the streets was allowed to approach the spe- cial train. Prince Henry came out of his apartment in the rear of the long train and yor Hayes was presented to him. As he stood upen the rear platform beside Mr. von Lingen, the German Consul at this point, the Mayor made a warm speech welcome and presented an engrossed ©opy of the resolutions of welcome which k\e been adopted by the City Council. e Prince in accepting this thanked him @and the people for their courtesy. ~ The chorus of singers then rendered sev- eral German patriotic songs and after a stay of twenty minutes the train pulled out amid the cheers of the crowds which lined both sides of the tracks. VISIT TO THE CAPITAL A GRATIFYING EXPERIENCE Prince Henry and Party Witness Pro- ceedings in House and Senate. WASHINGTON. Feb. 2{—The visit of M Prince Henry and his suite te the capital | this afternoon must have been not only a gratifying experience to the royal visitors on account of the warm and flattering re- ception he received at both the House and Senate and the opportunity it afford- ed of meeting personally the leaders of both houses, but it must have been an extremely interesting experience as well. The Prince not only saw the houses of the American parliament at work, but in the Senate he witnessed one of those rare @nd intensely dramatic moments which come in that body occasionally at the con- clusion of a great debate. The Prinice and his party arrived at the eastern entrance of the Capitol at 4 o'clock, exactly on schedule time. Prince Henry was attired in the blue fatigue uniform of the Ger- man admiral and wore the flat German naval cap of his rank. The members of his suite wore fatigue uniforms, and the Ger- man Embassador had exchanged his court dress for a conventional frock suit. In the matter of gold lace and braid General Corbin and Admiral Evans, still in the spiendor of full dress uniform, outshone the Frince and his staff. The party was met at the great bronze doors leading to the rotunda by a com- mittee from the House, consisting of Hitt of Illinois, Dinsmore of Arkansas and General Grosvenor of Ohilo. Brief cordial greetings were exchanged. . the Prince and his party, under the protec- tion of .a half hundred police, were con- veved through solid walls of peopic while behind them folowed the riages of distinguished naval and muli- ficers of the Princ and | he Germe to | The | open landau with -| few words 1 packed in the rotunda and statuary hall to the room of Speaker Hendeson.

Prince Henry seemed interested, listening attentively for several minutes to what Gilbert had to say, and appeared much - pleased_with the hearty applause which followed the statement of the Ken- tucky member that the “Anglo-Saxon and German races are one.” The Prince remained about ten min- utes in the gallery and then ascended to the Ways and demorstration as the Prince left the gal- lery was éven more enthusiastic tnan when he entered. The House at once ad- journed to afford the members an oppor- rnity to meet the royal visitor person- 1l Senate committee consisting of Senators Cullom, Lodge and Morgan appeared aad after being presented escorted the Prince and his party to the Sepate. The Prince was interested in everything, remarked upon the polished marble columns in Sta- tuary Hall, the great historical paintings in the rotunda and the frescoes in the corriders. The Prince’s first view of the Senate hardly could have been mere dra- matic and thrilling. 3 3 The chamber was brilliantly illuminated from above, the overhanging galleries were thronged to suffccation, every Sen- | ator was in his seat, the sides of the chamber were fringed with Representa- tives, drawn thither by news of the fierce confifet that was raging on the Phiippine bill. Prince Henry remained in the Senate twenty minutes and departed while Sena- tor Bailey of Texas was speaking. BBILLIANT_ FUNCTPION AT GERMAN EMBASSY Represbntatives of Many Nations 7/ Turn Out in Full Uniform to Greet Visitor. WASHINGTON, Feb, 24—One of most brilliant functions of the day was at 2 p./m., when Prince Henry recelved at the German embassy the members of the the diplomatic corps, including the Em. | bassadors and Ministers, accompanied by thei ffs of government, naval and civii attaches, all W full uniform.

C., Feb. 24.—As forecasted in The Call the President withdrew the invitation extended to Sen- ator Tillman of South Carolina to attend the dinner given In honor of Prince Henry of Prussia at the banquet at the White House. It is said that this action on the ,iflr part of the President was made necessary on account of the occurrences on the floor of the Senate Saturday, when the Senator frcm South Carolina was declared in con- tempt of the Senate. Senator Martin of Virginia, a member of the Committee on Naval Affairs, ac- cepted an invitation in Tillman’s place. The invitation was extended originally to Tiliman owing to the fact that he is the rarking minority: member of the Naval Affairs Committee. There was a sensational sequence to the decision of the President to eliminate Senator Tillman from the list of dinner guests. The President sent for Senator Cockrell of Mlssouri, and asked him as a friend and Democratic colleague of 'Till- man to suggest to the latter the prapri- ety of withdrawing his acceptance of, the dinner invitation. The President ex- plained his attitude in the matter and said that in view of the contempt pro- ceedings, Tillman’s presence would not only be 'an affront to the Senate, but a discourtesy to Prince Henry. Cockrell ac- ted the commission, and later. tele- phoned to the President that Tillman ab- solutely refused to withdraw his accept- ance in response to the President’s sug. gestion. The President immediately can- celed the invitation in a note he dis- patched direct to Tillman shortly before noon. Following is the letter from the AVhite House, withdrawing Tillman’s invitation to dine there to-night: “White House, Feb. 2.—The “President jegrets he is compelled to withdraw- the nvitation to you to dine,to-night White House. o “Very truly yours, “GEORGE B. CORTELYOU, ‘Secretary to the President.” Commenting upon the letter Tillman said: The President, of course, has a right to in- vite any one he’ chooses 10 dine with him offi clally or otherwise and also has the right to withdraw such invitations. As I am not con. scious of having done anything personal or offi. clal vhich gives the President the right to fn- sult me, 1 affi surprised at his action. TI invitation to the dinner came to me unsougl and unexpectedly, and 8o far as the with- drawal is concerned it is a matter of absolute indifference to me. Theemotive behind it seems to put me in a condition of unworthiness to meet the President and his guests before final action by the Senate. Prince Henry, the President’s guest, comes from a country ‘where custom makes it obligatory upon any man who regards himself a gentleman to promptly resent an insult, and method is by challenge to & duel. That was once the custom, but it is now obsolete in the United States, and we have been forced to cling to the old Anglo-Saxon rule of considering the lie direct as the firet blow, and no man could hold up his head in decent society should he, being near enough to answer the lie with & blow, not give it. As for my being in contempt of the Senate, which 1 presume is the excuse for this insult at the hands of the President, that I deny. The Sen- ate was Dot sitting as'a court, but as a legls- lative assembly. It has a right to expel me ff it sees fit, and 1 am ready to abide by its judgment and action. It has a right to arrest me and hold me in custody until it makes a disposition of my case, but it bas no iight to gag me, ‘and the President has no right to judge me guilty of conduct unbecoming a gen- tleman unless he belies all his antecedents, which lead one to believe he would have done Just as I did under the cf ces. As to Which of us is a gentleman in this matter, in view of the w invitation to dinner at the’ White House and\its indecent witharawal, 1 am willing to abide by the judgment of all brave and self-respecting *men. el o Depart for New York.

Special Dispatch to The Call. VICTORIA, B. C., Feb. 24—There was almost a free-for-all fight this afternoon in the Legislature because McBride, the new opposition leader, attempted to seize the seat formerly occupied by Joseph Martin, who is now Trecognized as a strong Government supporter. Just be- fore the House opened for business and while Martin was absent the opposition members moved his desk away and shoved those of McBride, McPhillips and Smith Curtis together. When Martin re- turned and noted the change he was fu- rious. He called McBride a dirty low blackguard and a thief. Other members took part in the discussion nnq_a war of words raged. ! Rev. Canon Beanlands entered to offer prayer. Then the members ed them- selves in_their places, Martin slipping in between McBride and the coveted ‘chair. During the prayer there was a lot of un- seemly scuffling, in which McBride, Mar- tin, Curtis and McPhillips took part, and thé moment the prayer was ended pande- monium broke loose. Martin attempted to sit in McBride's chair. Curtis seized him around the neck and other members rushed to separate them. The galleries howled and cheered as the battle on the floor waged furiously, and when at length some kind of order was restored Martin was seated in triumph in the chair, with McBride squatted on the desk in front of him. & The House then proceeded“to elect a.

Special Dispatch to The Call. VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 2—John Blackburn, nephew of a prominent Eng- lish jurist and heir to £50,000 of English money, was arrested here to-day for highway robbery. A month ago Black- burn, it is alleged, opeérated in outlying sections of the city, holding up citizens at the point of his revolver and terror- izing the neighborhood for a fortnight. Blackburn is a youth only 18 years of age and had had a bad record with the local police. The method of bringing the charge against him to-day was unique. A week ago Blackburn was arrested for petty thieving. The police at that time had no idea that he was the man for whom they had been looking to answer for a dozen holdups, and the case was continued until this morning. De Witt Becker, who was relieved of $10 and a geld watch by a masked man, happened to walk into the courtroom and imme- diately recognized the voice of Blackburn as that of the man who had leveled a revolver at him and forced him to give up his valuables, Blackburn was acquitted on the larceny charge and rearrested for high- way robbery. On this charge he was committed to stand trial in the higher court. Blackburn will not receive the English estate that was left to him 'until he at- tains his majority, three years hence. tty The Notre Dame Church in Paris, which has heretofore been lighted by can- dles, is to be supplied with elect: 6% cast nf 590 000 yiacislg lampe | clal reception to the Prince. | 1 MANY DISTINGUISHED AT W MEN MEET THE PRINCE HITE HOUSE DINNER Continued From Page One. | eral N.

WASHINGTON, Feb.' 24.—Prince Henry | prepared to make calls upon the foreign Embassadors stationed in Washington as the high rank of an Embassador makes { him “a personal representative of his | sovereign or ruler and entitles him to the | first call. The Prince was accompanied | by the German Embassador, the two | driving in an open landau. As the Prince | came Into view the crowd gave him an ovation of cheers.
