Then the hills gave back the echo of hearty roar. which the Prince win probably remember as long as anything connected with to West Point. Thls ended the ceremonies on the parade I A. and the company went to the Memorlal where all the offlcers of the post were pre? sented to Prince Henry and the members of Mi party.

FWmi the Memorlal Hall the Prince was taken the rldlng academy, where he saw a pack train drlll. Army mules were loaded with boxes, bales and barrels, and these fastened with the "diamond hltch" by a detail of cadets. The offlcers, who may have expected to flnd their vlsitor dlsinterested. were disappointed. He examlned everything closely and called mem? bers of hls party to examine the saddles and other accoutrements.

"Were your par? ents German?" "Yes. 6lr." sald the man. "But you were born here. were yon not?" "N'o. tlr: I was born ln Germany." was the reply.

It was exactly 5:30 o'clock yesterday after? noon when the speeial train carrylng Prince Henry and his suite arrived at Weehawken. The train was flfteen minutes late in leaving West Point, but this tlme was made up ln the run down. A moment later the Prince alighted from hls car and walked down the platform. by Consul Generai Buenz, who, with Ocmen? Geisler, met him at the depot. The showed no sign of fatigue, hls step was iight and springy, and he laughed as he looked at the long lines of policemen and detectives were patrolling the station.

An hour before the Piince's arrival prepara tions had been made to keep back the crowd that had begun to gather. One hundred and forty policemen, ln charge of Inspector Archl liald, of Jersey City, had been formed in line from the train shed to the ferry slip. Here the ferryboat West Point. carrying two lmmense Oerman flags, was waiting for the Prince and hls irarty. As the Prince left the train a platoon ttf patroimen led the way, then followed a dozen then came Major Generai Corbin, Colonel Bingham and Colonel Mills, the com mandant of West Point.

as well as by the people of Albany and neighboring cities, with a he rtiness which, he said. he should never forget. Fully flfty thousand people crowded the streets of Albany leading to the Capitol. and revealed thus their Interest ln him and his mission. The day was an ideal one of the early spring; a eloudlese sky, the sun shining brightly, and only the snowbanks in the streets indicating that the winter months had passed.

All the princlpal buildings on the streets on the route to be taken by Prince Henry and those with him while proceedlng to the Capitol were dec orated with flags. The sidewalks were densely packed with people. Thousands of persons from Troy, Watervliet. Cohoes. and other cities had come to Albany.

Prince Henry was welcomed upon his arrlval at the Union Station of the New-York Central from Boston by Governor Odell and Mayor Gaus of Albany. A procession was then formed, and he was escorted to the handsome City Hall of Albany, where, a speech by Mayor Gaus, he was formally welcomed to the clty. Prince Henry and those with him were then escorted to the Executive Chamber at the Capitol, where he was again greeted by Governor Odell. A com? mittee of the leglslature then escorted Prince Henry successively to the Senate Chamber and Assembly Chamber, and he was presented by Lieutenant Governor "Woodruff to the Sena tcrs and the members of the Court of Appeals, and by Speaker Nixon to the Assemblymen. In both the Senate and the Assembly Prince Henry expressed his gratification over his cordial greeting.

and declared that this was only one of many acts of kindness which he had received during his stay in the I'nited States, and which he was not likely to forget. From the Capitol Prince Henry was escorted to the Central Railroad, and there he took a train for Point. Prince Henry expressed admiratlon for the State Capitol. He etrinced also great interest in the antique sword of George Washington, which ls said to have been presented to Wash? ington by Frederiek the Great.

He was then surrounded by the Governor and hls staff. IN SEXATE AND ASSEMBLY. HENRY OF PRUSSIA MEETS STATES LEGISLATORS. Albany, March was 8:.30 when the traln bearing Prince Henry reached the Union Sta? tion. The grounds had been cleared and polieo formed a cordon around the car Columbia.

Mayor Gaus and George Sard, chairman of the reception committee, were in waiting and were introduced to the Prince at once, Colonel Blng? ham and Admiral Evans taking them to the car and Ambassador von Holleben presenting them. Governor Odell was late in arriving through some mlsunderstanding as to the time, and the Prince and his party waited for him. He arrived about ten minutes later, and in be? half of the State bade the Prince welcome. The Prince was then shown to a carrlage, around which formed the smartly uniformed riders of Troop B. When the party had all been piaced in carrlages a start was made for the city.

Broadway was fliled with people, and as carrlage bearing the Prince emerged from the station driveway there was a resound ing cheer. Stationed at various points along the route were three companies of the 2d Regiment and four companies of the 10th Battalion, N. G. N. Y.

Hundreds of men had been at work clearlng away the snow from the streets through which the procession passed. The buildings along the route presented a brilliant appearance, being tastefully decorated with the American and German colors lntertwined. German and Amer? ican colors were draped over the front of the City Hall and the Mayor's offlce, where the Prince was escorted. Enormous crowds lined the streets and taxed the patience of both the poiice and Natlonal Guardsmen in keeplng thern on the sidewalks. Admission to both the City Hall and Capitol was by card, but Judgment in issuing them was ritielsed.

ln both places the crush was ter rlfic. and many of those entitled to admission v.ere forced back by the guards. THE MAYOR'S ADDRESS. WTien the party entered the City Hall they were escorted to the Mayor's offlce, and the Mayor, Charles H. Gaus, extended the formal welcome to the city.

A short time was devoted to introduc tions, and then carrlages were re-entered and the party proceeded to the Capitol. Prince Henry and his escort reached the Capitol at 9:20 o'clock. They were met at the eastern entrance by Adjutant Oeneral Nelson A. Henry and escorted to the executive cham? ber, where Governor Odell and his staff were walting to recelve tha royal visitor.

COMPANY Harana Department) lll Fifth Arenue. New York 3 SCARE FOR PRIXCES GUARD. GRABS HAND OF FOR EIGNEH. BUT FINDS IT EMPTY. A man with a foreign cut to his coat and a suspiciously strange top to his silk hat caused a seare among the detectives guarding Prince Henry at the Waldorf last night.

As the crowd collected about the door of the Waldorf waiting for the Prince to take his carriage there was one man who manifested unusual agitation. He would pace back and forth along the sldewalk, intently buried in thought. Then he would halt in front of the entrance and intently study the faces of the offlcers. His face was pale. and he seemed to be greatly troubled.

The unusual conduct of the man attracted the attention of a group of reporters who wcn; standlng by, and they began to observe the man closely and comment on his behavior. This caught the attention of Sergeant Dillon, who was in charge of the detectives, and he sent a plain clothes man over to the stranger, wlth ln structions to watch him until the Prince had gone. Not wlshing to make any false move, the de tective quletly took hls position Lesido the sus pect, and presently man began to talk. "I am very anxious to see the Prince," said he. "That's going to be a tough Job," replied the detective.

"How's that?" inquired the stranger. "There are so many pollcemen in the way," replied the offlcer. "I know there are a number of Central Offlce men about. But why are the Germans so ix If any one wanted to assassinate the Prince it could be done easily enough." Just then it was announced that the Prince was coming, and the stranger hastily pushed through the crowd and took hls stand on the I curb. Thi' detecttve followed him closely, ready for action.

Just us the Prince appeared the I stranger, who had kept his left hand in his pocket. made a sudden movement as if to draw I a revolver. Instantly the deteetive seized the hand and held lt. Then. as he found it empty.

he released it. Excusing hlmself, the stranger disappeared in the tlurry of exclteiuent caused by the departure of the Prinee's carrlage. No trace of the man remaiuod when, a mo? ment later, search for him was begun. One of the pollcemen said that he had declared that he was a frtend of Sergeant Hughes, an.i iu this way had passed the line. Inspector Harley and Sergeant Dillon later declared themselves sorry that the man had not been arrested and some explanation of his conduct obtalned.

They added that they had a good description of the man, and that if he appeared in any crowd about the Prince again he would be arrested. One theory advanced was that tho stranger. who gave evldence of belng a forelgner, was one of the German detectives who are follow? ing the Prinoe, and that his action was intended tr. try the vlgilanoe or the detectives who are ehargv-d with the duty ol protecting the Prince. If this were the case hfl ceitainly sueceeded in proving how closely the Prinoe is watched.
