KRONPRI LE A FAIRY SHE. Encased in Glittering Ice, from Water Line to Masthead, the Great German Liner Com- pletes Tempestuous Voyage. *. (i FOG, STORM, But Through It All She Comes Safely and Brings_a List of Distinguished Passengers Into This Port To- Day. COLLISION. The North German Lloyd express @teamer Kron Prinz Wilhelm arrived to-day after the longest passage in her history. She presented a magnificent Spectacle as she came up the bay, a wcintiilating mass of Ice from water Une to masthead. She looked like one of those falry ships that certain artists of extravagant !magination are fond of Picturing. Her flying bridge, bridge and chart house were Incased in fringes and ‘wrappings of ce from which the win- dows of the chart house peeped out Uke embrasures in an embattled tower. From her main deck up she loaked like an ancient Norse tower. The troubles of the big steamer began foon after leaving Bremen. She ran into a dense fog in the North Sea and Was compelled to anchor for five hours. Proceeding then under reduced speed all the way to Southampton, she arrived at that pert five hours late. Enter- ing the harbor she collided with the British steamship Briton Castle, of the Castlo line. ‘Phe port bow of the Castle liner rasped the starboard quar- ter of the Kron Prinz and for a mo- ment it scemed that both ships must be ®erlously damaged, but neither was much injured.

POWERS AGREE OW NOTE TO SULTAN Macedonian Reforms Will Likely Be Granted and the Balkan Trouble Averted, PARIS, Feb. 18.—The Russian Foreign Minister, Count Lamadorf, hes communt- cated to the French Government the fact that Mussia has received the ad- herenees of thy last of the European powers to the joint note to Turkey on the subject of reforms, thus making the action of the powers unanimous. He accordingty directed M, Zinovief, the Russian Ambassador at Constantl- nople, to proceed in company with Baron von Caifes, the Austrian Ambassador, to the Sultan and present the joint note to- day. It was at first intended to present the Austrian note tirst, but this plan was reconsidered to give added force to the Joint personal presentation. It was also desired to secure the full adherence of Germany, which was somewhat conditional at first. The unanimous action ‘decided upon In- cludes that of Germany. The note as finally framed strikes out all reference to Macedonia, as it was considered that the designation of one part of the coun- name would increase the anti- agitation which the powers are seeking to check. The note is generalized ao as to cover all the localities where Christians re- side, the only locality. specified being three villages in Northern Turkey in which most of the Onristians reside. The protection of the lives and the complete safeguarding of the interests of the Christians form the chief fea- tures of the note. In view of the unanimity of the powers the oMcials here consider that the Sultan is certain to accept the pro- posed reforms. An official here sald that while the United States was not concemed in th> action directly, yet the protection ‘de- manded for all Christians would be in- directly beneficial to the American Christians in Turkey, was not made until late on the night of Feb, 12, The tide did not serve, and it was daybreak before the several hun- dred passengers couid be taken on board from the waiting tenders.
