Now York, Fob. 2,'!. Prince Henry, of Prussia, representative of Ills brother, lhe- emperor of Germany, at the launch Insr of the lattcr's American built yacht, 1 cached here today and was cordially welcomed as a guest of the nation. The land batteries that guard the. outer huibor .sounded the first greeting of a salute of 21 guns, the rifles of a special naval squadron as sembled in his honor re-echoed the contlnient, there were verbal greetings from representatives of President Iloosovelt, the army, the navy and the city of New York and a great crowd lined the way into the city to sec and cheer the sailor prince of Germany. Tho great storm against which the Krnnprinz "Wilhelm had struggled for days and which glazed tho Atlantic coast In an armor of ice had lost its force and resigned itself away to warm sunshine and cheery blue skies, so there were no regrets that tho royal guest was a full day late for the enter tainment provided for him. Tho gen ius of Marconi reaching out from the storm swept coast, had definitely lo cated the belated liner and made cer tain the hour which she would reach Sandy Hook. There was a curtain of haze oft the hook early this morning and It was after 9 o'clock before the watchers caught the shadow outlines of the cautiously approaching liner. Hear Admiral Robley D. Evans, commander of the special squadron and honorary aide to the prince, left the fli'gship Illinois with his staff at Si: 40 o'clock lu tho naval tug Nina. The Nina met the Kronpiinz beyond Fort "N'adsworth 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 ana surrounded by his naval and military staff In brilliant uniform, stood on the bridge of the liner. As tho small tug drew nearer to the side of tho steamship, Prince Henry and Admiral Evans caught sight of one another and exchanged Informal salutes. Tlie distance from steamer to tug was tin) great for conversation, however. As tlie two vessels with a Hot Ilia of tugs and ofllclal eruft moved In past Fort Wadsworth. tho first of the salutes of 21 guns was fired. As the first gun sounded tlie prince ad vanced to the end of the bridge of the Kronpiinz and stood at attention. Salute to Old Glory. As he passed the big American ll.ig floating over the fortifications ho touched Ills, cap In salute and the mem bers of lili suite did likewise. The flag nt the jaekstalf of the Kronprinz was dipped and the German naval band ac lompanylng the prince played the Star Spangled thinner. The guns of Foit AWulsworth weio nut silent before those ncioss the Narrows at Fort Hamilton boomed out their salute, "When that ceremony was over the Kronpiinz was stopped and the Nln.i hauled around to her portslde and Admiral Evans and his staff boarded her. The passengers were gatheied on the main deck and theio wild a hearty cheer us tho admiral cuino up the gangway. Admiral Evans was escorted forward at once and In the quarters of Captain A. Kleiner, master of the Ktonpriiiz lie and the prince met. The prince came forwaul and the hand of the naval ofll cur shook It warmly. "I am very glad to see you, sir," said the admiral, "Everybody in the 1'nlted States is waiting to welcome you, It Is my pleasure, sir, lo greet you formally in their behalf," "I thank you, sir, and through you the people of your country," responded the prince. "1 am very glad to bo here and on tills splendid day. The emperor directed mo to convey Ills compliments to you, admiral, and 1 do so with very Bipnt pleasure." Admiral Evans expiessed gratification at the tliuughtfuluesH of the emperor. He presented tlie members of his statf and the prince, gavu each u hearty handshake and it cordial word. The newspaper correspondents who are to accompany the prince on ills tour through the country, also were Intio duced by the admiral, The prince, who was in excellent spirits, smiled when he faced the newspaper writers and after the formal part of the presenta tion said that Im was quite sure that their relations would bo very happy. Passing the Warships. After a bilef halt the liner moved ahead and at 10.30 was abreast of the Hpeelul uquadron off Tompklnsvllle. The (lerman standard was run tu tho forctop of the Kronpiinz and Its ap pearance gave signal to tho American fleet to salute. The Han Francisco, Cutiniiatl, Olynipiu, and Illinois lay In HAS ARRIVED perfect alignment In the order named and made an attractive picture with their crews manning side, turrets and tops. They raised the German naval standard and then opened blank fire. The prince stood at attention on the bridge and back of him wore Admiral Evans nnd his stuff and the men and the numerous suite of the German visi tor. The prince and his staff were espe cially Interested in the Illinois and Olympla and offered warm congratu lations to the Ameiienn admiral on the splendid nppenrunre of his squadron. The prince said that he was very anx ious to visit the squadron and that he would do this at his eaillest moment. As tho Kronpiinz cleared Tompklnsvllle the tlcct of sinnll craft around her In creased and they kept their whistles sounding. A crowdpd ferryboat Joined the others and In response to tlie cheers of her passengers the prince went to the end of the bridge and touched his cap in salute. There was a rush to the side of the ferryboat that carried her over on a list Unit looked dangerous. When tlie Kronprinz came abreast of Governor's Island there was another salute and the prince again stood at at tention until the last or the twenty-one guns was fired. New York and its surroundings have rarely shown to gieuter advantage than today, the sunlight with the added brightness that came from the glisten ing coating of snow, and tho royal vis itor did not leave the bridge during the run up the bay. He said that ho was at last gratifying an old ambition In visiting New York, and asked that the points of interest be shown him and tho geographical bearings explained. He knew the statue of liberty, Brook lyn bridge and the battery, and had heard tho fame or I he tall buildings. The latter towered high In the dear light, and the prince .viewed them with keen interest as tlie Kronpiinz swung ! Into North river. The famed skyline that shows so well from the Jersey shore caught his attention and he watched it until a tooting tug claimed a salute. Crowds at the Battery. The first of the large ciowds was met at the battery, and from there on up to Recreation pier, where the largest crowd or all had gathered. Every pier to which admission was not denied was partly filled. The number of river craft also Increased and the welcome there was a noisy one. The crossing ferry boats sounded their whistles, nnd the ever-Increasing fleet of tugboats kept up their noise. Tho big liners in port were dressed, nnd the German colors were displayed at several points along the harbor shores. The prince fre quently went to the side and either saluted or waved his hand in acknowl edgement. To the Americans present he expressed his appreciation of the warm 'welcome extended to him. The last greeting in tho run up the river was from the Imperial yacht Hohen zollern, which is to be the home of tho prince while In New York. She wore a full dress of flags and her white paint, with Its trimmings of gold, shone In the brilliant sun. Her jackles wore new uniforms and straw hats, and manned the sides, while the ofllcers, in full dress uniform, were drawn up on the quarter deck. The mince smiled at sight of her, and again stepped to the end of the rail and saluted. The jaekles of the Hohenzollern gave a lusty cheer, and the prince smiled and saluted again. The Kronpiinz was abreast of the pier at noon and was quickly warped into her berth, but there was some delay In getting a gangway arranged. There was no demonstration at Rec reation pier, for the prince was not seen by the great crowd that choked up the end of "West Thirty-fourth street.

Dis patches received from Ponce last night say that political agitators incited n riot of the striking trolley workmen there yesterday, and that bloodshed was only averted with the greatest difficulty. A mob, numbering hundreds of 'persons, controlled Pnnco for two hours, the police not being numerous enough to suppress the disorder, Tho chief of uollco and the American en gineer of the inad were surrounded, after tho chief had arrested tho ring leader of the rioting. A crowd of peo ple followed the three men to the city hall, shouting, "Down with tho Ameri cano!" The chief, thanks to the cool ness and firmness of the American em ployes of the road, who weie armed with revolvers, prevented a serious conflict. The native workmen on the trolley line are well nald and are satisfied with their wages. They would not havo struck had they not beep intimidated by outsiders, The employment of sev enteen Italian tracklayers was probably tho cause of the trouble.

THEIR KIDNAPPING A POLITICAL MOVE Mr. Spencer Eddy Says That tho Brigands Who Imprisoned Miss Stone Were Prompted to Secure Money in Aid of tho Macedonian Cause Tho American Missionary Was Abducted Because It Was Be lieved That America Had More Money nnd Would Pay n Larger Ransom Thau Any Other Nation. Dv Kiclinlie Wire from The Associated Prew Constantinople, Feb. 24. Miss Ella 51. Stone, tlie American missionary, who. with lime. Tsllka was captured by bt Ignnds In the district ot Salonika, September ,1 last, has been released and arrived at Strumltza, Macedonia, at 3 o'clock this morning.' Nobody was at Strumltza to meet JIIss Stone as tho brigands had given no indication where they proposed to release the prisoners. Mine. Tsllka and her baby were also released at the same time. They are all well. Miss Stone Immediately made 'herself known to the authorities at Strumltza. The first news of Miss Stone's release was contained in a telegram received by Mr. Dickinson, the American consul general at Con stantinople from the American vice consul at Salonika. Tho telegram gives no details of tho release. As Strumitza is near the Salonika TTsiil;L railroad Miss Stone will pro ceed to Salonika without delay. New York. Feb. 23. Spencer Eddy, fir;t secretary of the United States le gation ot Constantinople, who had charge of the negotiations for the re lease of Miss Ellen M. Stone and Mrs. Tsllka arrived hero today on the Kronpiinz Yvllh'Iin. tn an Interview- he said the brigands captured an Amer ican rather than any other missionary because they believed the Americans had tho most money and would be likely to pay the ransom. "Did the brigands want the money for themselves?" Mr. Eddy was asked. A Political Matter. "No, they did not, and that Is where the people in America do not under stand this case. It Is entirely a politi cal matter njid all the people In Mace donia are in sympathy with the kid napping, for they believe It is a step toward freeing Macedonia from Turkish rule, the same as Bulgaria has been, and the money they demanded (J1U0, 000) was Intended for the Macedonian cause. "If we had been dealing with the professional brigands, who wanted money pure and simple, instead of the political ones, Miss Stone would havo been released long ago. It Is very like ly that this capture was deliberated upon for a long time and the victims selected were considered best to serve the cause, when coniDared with those of oilier nationalities." "Do the Macedonians have any feel ing of enmity toward the mission aries?" "No, they are rather friendly to them than otherwise. They desired to at tract the attention of the world to their cause and Incidentally to get some much-needed money. T have every reason to believe they have given Miss Stone and her companion In captivity the very best of tieatment. When Mrs. Tsllka's baby was born she received tho kindest of treatment, from all we can learn." The Ransom Money. London, Feb. 21. Wiling from Con stantinople the correspondent of the Dally Chronicle says he understands that owing to the necessity of prole-ting tho innocent persons who as sisted them, the American delegates will never divulge where and how the ransom money for the release of Miss Stono was paid. The correspondent learns, however, that the rtu-e of filling the money bags with lend after tho ransom had been paid, with a view of making It appear that the mission to pay the ransom had failed, was completely successful, It Is practically certain that the ransom money goes to tho .Macedonian com mittee. Albs Stone, continues the corres pondent, Is completely Innocent of any knowledge of thn plot to kidnap her, but strong suspicious am entertained about some Itulg.irlaus who accompan ied her party, or remained behind, Rapid Run to San Francisco. -By llxilmhi' Wire fiyin tlie Awoilaleil Press.

TILLMAN-M'LAURIN FIGHT Question of Punishment the Chief Topic of Conversation in Offi cial Washington, Uy Lxtluthc Wire from the Associated l'rew. Washington, Feb. 23. The, topic of chief Interest In senatorial circles to day, and, in fact, everywhere In ofllclal Washington, was the flgnt in the sen ate yesterday between Senators Till man and McLauiin, (South Carolina). There have been a number of confer ences among senators as to what should be done lo preserve tho dignity of the senate and to manifest Its sen timent with reference to the two sena tors who violated Its traditions. While no plan of procedure has been agreed upon, it Is learned that there will be vety deliberate action and it is said to be more than likely that it will be not less than 30 days before the South Carolina senators will bo restored to their full powers as senators, this de liberation on their case being in tho nature of a punishment, since they will not be allowed to address the senate or vole until no longer In contempt of the senate Senator Burrows is chairman of the committee on privileges and elections and tonight ho said that In advance of any meeting of the committee he cannot say what will be done, but he added that the matter Is of such se rious importance that it must receive careful consideration. It Is understood the conferences among senators have shown tho existence of a considerable sentiment that the apologies made by the South Carolina senators are not deemed sufficient and that the commit tee will require other and more ample apologies to be submitted to it In writ ing, with the assurance that such apol ogies will be made to the senate before a report will be made to the effect that the senators have sulllclently purged themselves of the contempt, of which the senate I1113 adjudged them guilty. The whole matter Is of punishment and In requiring sufliclent apology. The conferences developed the fact that the senators regard the matter with all the seriousness with which they dealt with It yesterday and that they In tended to take such action as will pre vent, if possible, similar episodes In the future. Neither Senators Tilhnun nor Mc Lauiin was disposed to enter into any discussion today regarding the hap penings in the senate yesterday. Mr. Tillman, however, did say In reply to questions as to whether there had been any developments in the case that "nothing had occurred. So far as my own purposes are concerned 1 am simply awaiting developments and will act In accordance with judgment as they unfold themselves." Air. McLauiin declined tu make any statement whatever.

PROGRAMME OF THE WEEK IN CONGRESS Senate Will Begin Voting on Philip pine Tariff Bill Today McKln ley Memorial Exercises. By Kxclusio Wire from the A'ociatcd 1'iesj. Washington, Fob. 23. In accordance with the agreement heretofore reached the senate will begin voting at 4 o'clock toinonow on the Philippine tar iff bill. All tho time of the day's ses sion previous to that hour will bo de voted to brief speeches for and against the bill, the time to be divided between the supporters and the opponents of the bill. The opinion has been advanced that yesterday's episode between Senators Tillman and McLauiin might hnve the effect of causing a postponement of a time for taking the vote, In order to permit senators Jo speak who lime desired to do so, but there is no prob ability of any change of programme. The senate regards a unanimous con sent agreement us very sacred, and never allows anything to interfere with it. According to the present programme Prince Henry will be a witness of a part of the ceremony of taking the vote on the Philippine bill. The Irrigation bill now holds the place of vantage on the senate calen dar "next to tho Philippine bill, and probably will receive the attention of the senate after the Philippine bill Is out of the way. There Is, however, some impatience on the part of the ship subsidy bill over the piesent arrange ment, and If the Irrigation bill should consume a great deal of time theie may be an effort to displace It, The MoKlnley memorial exercises in the house of representatives on Thursday ovei shadows the programme In the house this week. When Prince Henry visits the capltol tomorrow to look down on the two houses of con gress he will witness probably an unin teresting spectacle, so far as the popu lar branch Is concerned, as the house will be working on District of Colum bia business. The remainder of the week will be devoted to appropriation bills, two of which are on the calendar, the postofllce and the diplomatic und consular bills. p RECOVERING FROM EFFECTS OF STORM Railroad, Telegraphic and Telephone Communication Resumed in Many Storm-Bound Localities.

A HOSTELRY WITHOUT FIRE ESCAPES Over-confidence in Arrangements of the Building Caused Death nnd Disaster Manager Charges That Thieves Started the Blaze Rob beries Reported Disagreement About Warning Nineteenth Vic tim Died Yesterday A List of the Dead. By Itluslif Wire from The Associated I'rm New York, Feb. 23. Sixteen persons who were guests at the Pntk ,avenue hotel lost their lives early yesterday morning, when tlie' hotel was on fire, after Unities had destroyed the 71st reg iment armory. Nearly fifty other gucsti at the hotel weio burned severely or hurt as they were escaping from their 100ms, and many of Uiem were sent to hospitals In the city. Many guests had narrow escapes from Injury, and there were exciting rescues by firemen. Blame for the hotel management was expressed yesterday because there were no fire escapes leading from upper story rooms to the Interior court, because there were no rope escapes in the rooms of the guests nnd because there weio not adequate appliances for extinguish ing fires lu the building. Some of the people who escaped from rooms In the hotel declared that no warning of the fire "was sounded to alarm tho guests. Others said they were warned In time. All who were burned in the fire had dressed themselves In readiness for flight, but had delayed too long in their rooms. The spread of the lire In the hot"l was causeci to some e::tent by flaniesi in the elevator shaft, and the managCr' of the hotel declared his belief that thieves had started a lire at the bottom of the shaft to create a panic In the ho tel and 1 over robberies. That theory, was supported In a measure by the fact that several rooms In the hotel were plundered during the excitement, and one man who was caught taking arti cles from a room was arrested and held for examination. An ofllclal Investiga tion of the the was ordered by the district attorney, but police- and fire ofllclals believed that flames from Hip burning armory Invaded the hotel nnc. the llrebrands started the fire in the eievator shaft. The loss by the fire lu the armory win said to .be less than $100,000 and the damage to the hotel was said -not tc exceed $30,01)0. List of the Dead.
