HUl4p<OVttr PRINCE HENRY ARRIVES Brother of German Emperor Re ceived a Hearty Welcome. VESSEL WAS DELAYED BY STORM Land Batteries and American Squad ron Fired Salutes, and There Were Greetings From the President, the Army, Navy and New York City. New York, Feb. 24. —P'ince Henry of Prussia, representative of nis brother, the emperor of Germany at ihe launching of the latter's Ameri can-built yacht, reached New York yesterday and was cordially welcomed as a guest of the nation. The land batteries that guard the outer har " 'I PBINCK HKHJJY OF PRUSSIA. b*r sounded the first greeting in a ponderous salute nf 21 guns, the riflo* of a special 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 a great crowd lined the way in the city to see the German sailors and the prince of Germany, The great storm against which the Kronprinz Wilhelm had struggled for days, and which had glazed the At lantic coast in an armor of ice, had lost its force und resigned its way to warm sunshine and cheery blue skies, so there were no regrets that the royal guest was a full day late for the en tertainment provided for him. Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, the commander of the special squadron and honorary aide to the prince and his staff, left the flagship Illinois at 9.40 o'clock in the naval tug Nina. They were all in full-dress uniform. The Nina met the Kronprinz Wilhelm beyond Fort Wadsworth, and. swing-- ing 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 sur rounded by his naval and military staff, in brilliant uniforms, stood on the bridge of the liner. As the naval tug got nearer to the side of the steamship Prince Henry and Admiral Evans caught sight of each other and exchanged informal salutes. As the two vessels, with a flotilla of tugs and official craft, moved In past Fort Wads worth the flrst of the salutes of 21 guns was fired. As the flrst gun sounded the prince advanced to the end of the bridge of the Kron prinz Wilhelm and stood at attention. As he passed the big American flag floating over the fortifications he touched his cap in salute, and the members of his suite did likewise. The flag at the jackstaff of the Kronprinz Wilhelm was dipped, and the German naval band accompanying the prince played '"The Star Spangled Banner." The guns of Fort Wadsworth were not spent before those across il Narrows, at Fort Hamilton, boomed out their salute. When that ceremony was over the Kronprinz Wilhelm was stopped and the Nina hauled around to her port side and Admiral Evans and his Staff boarded her. After a brief halt the liner moved ahead and was soon abreast of the special squadron off Tompkinsville. The German standard was run to the foretop of the Kronprinz Wilhelm, and its appearance gave signal tor the American fleet to salute. The San Francisco, Cincinnati, Olympia and Il linois raised the German naval stand ard and then began to lire. The prince stood at attention on the bridge, and back of him were Admiral Evans and his staff and the numerous suite of the German visitors. The prince and his stafT were especially interested in tb« Illinois and Olympiu, and offered warm congratulations to tne American admiral on the splendid appearance of his squadron. Prince Henry disembarked at 12.55 p. in., at that moment walking down the decorated gangway from the Kron prinz Wilhelm into the elaborately decorated pier. He then passed through an ornamental gangway and arch to the gang plank of the Hohen zollern, which had been decorated in the German colors and was covered half its length. Taking the precedence due to his rank. Prince Henry walked up the gang plank, followed by the officers of the Hohenzollern. The flrst of his clillers to arrive af ter he had boarded the Hohenzollern Kas General Brooks, U. S. A., accom panied by two aides. Admiral Barkei and h', aide. Captain West, represent ing the United States navy, followed, and then cauie the German ambassador at Washington and his suite of mili tary and naval attaches and secre taries. Following the German ambas sador came the special representative of the president of the United States, .headed by Dr. Hill, flrst assistant sec retary of state, and including General Corbin, Colonel Bingham and Com mander Cowles, the brother-in 1 iw of the President. The prince hoarded the tug Nina at 3.30 p. m.yesterday to repay his calls He waa accompanied by one aide and Admiral Evans and Ensigns Evans and Chapin. He visited the navy yard flrst, called on Admiral Barket, mil then Governors Island, where ne called on General Brooke. From Governors Island the tug proceeded to the battle ship Illinois, where he called on .Vl pi:ral Evans and inspected tho ship He was received by the squadron with the honors due to his rank. From lhe llliaois the prince returned to the j iei at Thirty-fourth street an : on fcoard the Hohenzollern.

STAID SENATORSWERE SHOCKED Tillman's Insinuating Remarks Precip itated a Rough and Tumble Fist Fight, In Which He Received a Bloody Nose—Were Torn Apart. Washington, Feb. 24.—A flst fight between two senators on the floor of the United States senate while that body was in open session marked the close of a bitter speech on the Philippine question by Senator Till man, of South Carolina, Saturday af ternoon. For nearly three hours the South Carolina senator occupied the floor, discussing the Philippine situa tion from his picturesque viewpoint. His remarks were interlarded with frequent spicy exchanges with other senators, In the course of one of which he made some Insinuations that a senator had been influenced by im proper considerations In his vote on the treaty of Paris. His statement was developed In a colloquy between him and Mh Spoon er, of Wisconsin. Mr. Tillman at first declined to mention names, but when the Wisconsin senator reminded him that he owed It to himself, to the senate and to the country, to "name the man," Mr. Tillman Indicated that he referred to his colleague from South Carolina. Little imagining that his words were likely to be prophetic, Mr. Spooner re marked sententiously: "I will leave the senator to fight that out with his colleague." Mr. McLailrin was not in the cham ber at the time, being engaged in committee work, but he was sent for. and appeared just as Mr. Tillman concluded his speech. I'ale as ashes, Mr. McLaurin rose to address the senate, speaking to a question of privi lege. He reviewed Mr. Tillman's charges briefly, and then denounced the statement made by his colleague as a "wilful, malicious anil deliberate lie." Scarcely had the portentious words fallen from his lips when Mr. Tillm-in. sitting a few seats from him with Mr. Teller, of Colorado, between them, sprang at them. Mr. McLaurin. who had half turned toward Mr. Tillman, met him half way, and in an instant the two senators, having'swept Mr. Teller aside, were engaged in a rough and tumble flst flght. Mr. McLaurin received a heavy blow on the fore head, while Mr. Tillman got a bad punch on the nose, which brought blood. Assistant Sergeant-at arms Layton sprang over desks to reach and separate the combatants, and himself received several blows He got be tween them Anally and by main strength wrenched them apart. Senators Warren, of Wyoming, and Scott, of West Virginia, two of the most powerful men in the senate, leaped to his assistance, and pinioning the arms of the belligerent senators, forced them into their seats. Intense excitement prevailed in the senate and the galleries, which were thronged with people who had been attracted by the spirited debate. Everybody was on his feet. Not a word, however, was spoken. Senators stood about the chamber, for the mo ment quite helpless, and pale to the lips. Finally order was restored par tially, and in the midst of intense ex citement the senate went into execu tive session. For two hours the sen ate discussed the event behind closed doors. When the doors were reopened It was made known that both of the South Carolina senators by unanimous vote had been declared to be In con tempt of the senate. They were per mitted by a vote of the senate to make apologies to the senate. The state ments were listened to by both the senators and the people in the galler ies with breathless Interest. Senator Tillman left the capital when adjournment was taken for re cess, and did not return for the night session. Senator McLaurin was in the chamber about 8 o'clock, but left early. Neither senator, when seen at his home, would make a statement. There have been a number of con ferences among senators as to what, should be done to preserve the digni ty of the senate and to manifest Its sentiment with reference to the two senators who violated Its traditions. While no plan of procedure has been agreed upon it Is learned lhat there will be very deliberate action, it Is said to be more than likely that It will be no less than thirty days be fore the South Caroliha senators are restored to their full powers as sena tors. this deliberation on their case being in the nature of a punishment, since they will not be allowed to ad dress the senate or vote until no longer in contempt of the senate.
