GREETING IS EXTENDED TO THE ROYAL VISITOR. Admiral Evans Does the Honors—Ex changes Sentiments of Esteem With Army and Navy Men—Expresses Delight at Visiting America. New York, Feb. 24.—Prince Henry of Prussia, representative ol' his broth er, the emperor of Germany, at the launching of the latter's American built yacht, reached New York yester day and was cordially welcomed as a guest of the nation. The land bat teries that guard the outer harbor sounded the first greeting in a pon derous salute of 21 guns, the rifles of a special naval squadron, assembled in his honor, re-echoed the sentiment, there were verbal greetings from the representatives of President Roose velt, the army, the navy, and the city of New York and great crowds lined the way into the city to see and cheer the sailor prince of Germany. The great storm, against which the Kron Prinz Wilhelm had struggled for days, and which had glazed the Atlantic coast in an armor of ice, had lost its force and resigned its sway to warm sunshine and clear blue skies, so there was no regrets that the royal guest was a full day late for the entertain ment provided for him. The genius of Marconi reached out from the storm swept coast and definitely located the belated liner and made certain the hour that she would reach Sandy Hook. There was a curtain off the Hook early Sunday morning and it was after 9 o'clock before the watchers caught the shadowy outlines of the cautiously approaching liner. Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, commander of the special squadron and honorary aide to the prince, with his staff, left the flagship Illinois at 9:40 o'clock in the naval tug Nina. The Nina met the Kron Prinz beyond Fort Wadsworth and, swinging around on the starboard side of the liner, steamed up the bay. Prince Henry, attired in the uniform of an admiral of the German navy and surrounded by his na.val and military staff in brilliant uniform, stood on the bridge of the liner. As the naval tug drew nearer to the side of the steam ship, Prince Henry and Admiral Evans caught sight of each other and ex changed informal salutes. Prince Henry last night attended a reception given in his honor by the Deutscher Verein, at the clubhouse of the organization. From the club house the prince was driven to the Twenty-third street ferry of the Penn sylvania railroad, where he took the ferry boat Philadelphia for the depot in Jersey City. ENJOYS VISIT TO CONGRESS. Kaiser's Brother Received by the House With Much Enthusiasm. Washington. Feb. 25.—The visit of Prince Henry and his suite to the cap itol yesterday must have been not onlv a gratifying experience to the royal visitor on account of the warm and flattering reception he received at both the house and senate, and of the op portunity it afforded ot meeting per sonally the leaders of both houses, but It must have been am extremely inter esting experience as well. The prince not only saw the houses of the Amer ican parliament at work, but in the senate he witnessed one of these rare and intensely dramatic moments which come in that body occasionally at the conclusion of a great debate. The prince and his party in carriages, es corted by a troop ot cavalry and flanked on either side by a bicycle platoon ot police, arrived at the east ern entrance of the capitol at 4 o'clock exactly on schedule time. The prince and his partv. under the protection ol a halt hundred police, were conveyed through solid walls of people packed in the rotunda to the room of Speaker Henderson, who form ally welcomed him. The prince thanked the speaker tor his courtesy and without further cerenionv the party proceeded to the gallery ot the house. An impressive sight met the gaze ot the prince as he reached the gal lery. The surrounding galleries were crowded to the doors and below on the floor, in the long concentric circles of the vast hall, the members sat at their desks. His appearance at the door of the gallery caused an enthusiastic demonstration. The prince paused smiled through his blonde beard, and acknowledged the greetings with a slight bow. Then advancing with the German ambassador and Mr. Hitt on either side, he descended to the place reserved for him in the front row of the gallery. Instantly every eye was upon him. He seemed perfectly ob livious ot the fact that he was on ex hibition at close range. Mr. Gilbert of Kentucky was addressing the house at the time on the Philippine ques tion. Prince Henry seemed inter ested, listening attentively for several minutes to what Mr. Gilbert had to say and appearing much pleased at the hearty applause which followed the statement of the Kentucky member that the "Anglo-Saxon and German races are one." The demonstration as the prince left the gallery was even more enthusiastic than when he en tered. A number .of members rose to \ntfr feet and cheered.' The house at once adjourned to afford the mem bers an opportunity to meet the royal visitor personally. Dramatic Scene in Senate. The prince's first view of the senate of the United States hardly could have been more dramatic and thrilling. The chamber was brilliantly illumi nated from above, the overhanging galleries were thronged to suffocation, every senator was in his seat, the sides of the chamber were fringed with representatives drawn thither by news of the fierce conflict that was raging and on the floor the youthful senator from Texas, Mr. Bailey, was bony engaged with several of the older leaders on the Republican side over the right of the two senators from South Carolina, who are in contempt of the senate, to vote on the Philip pine bill. The excitement at the mo ment was so great that even the en trance of a foreign prince, unwnted as it was, could hardly divert atten tion from the great debate which was in progress. Senator Frye, with the prince at his side, mounted the ros trum and invited him to be seated. The senators on the floor and spec tators in the galleries had arisen at his appearance, but there was no audi ble demonsration. He watched the scene keenly as the young Texan tried the mettle first of one adversary and then of another. The two South Caro lina senators, of whose encounter last Saturday the prince was fully advised, sat on the right of Mr. Bailey, with only a single chair between them. The prince several times glanced at them, but appeared far more interested in the question at issue than the person ality of those it affected. For fully 20 minutes he sat completely engrossed by the scene before him. At last the prince departed through the main door, the senators remaining on their feet until he had disappeared. The plaza at the time was filled with peo ple, who cheered as the prince was driven hurriedly away, accompanied by his cavalry escort. Dinner at White House. The dinner given to Prince Henry by President Roosevelt at the white house last night closed the honors be stowed on the royal visitor by official Washington. The affair was on an elaborate scale and brought together a most distinguished company. During the dinner the president proposed the health of the German emperor and 'he German people, say ing: "We admire their great past and great present and we wish them all possible success in the future May the bonds of friendship between the two peoples ever grow stronger The president also proposed the health of Prince Henry in these vords "In the name of the peopie I greet you and extend to yo our warmest welcome, with •ha assurance of our heartiest good will." following the toast of the president to the German emperor, Prince Henry arose and addressed himself to the president, proposed a toast to him self and the people of the United States, accompanying it with an ex pression of good will and hope for the continuation of friendly relations between the Germans and the Amer icans. At 10 40 the party dispersed, the prince leaving directly for the rail road station, where his special train awaited him. A troop of cavalry and a squadron of mounted and bicycle policemen acted as escort to the sta tion and saw him safely aboard the train, which left at midnight for New York. The president withdrew his invita tion extended to Senator Tillman to attend the dinner. BLOW UP ASSAY OFFICES. Concerted Move Against Leading Firms in Cripple Creek District.

Since that hour our waking time has been crowded with friends from the city and surrounding villages, who have brought us their heartfelt congratulations for our deliverance.
