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

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.
Prince Henry last night attended a
reception given in his honor by the
Deutscher Verein at the clubhouse oi
the organization, lie was escorted
through the streets from the dock
where the Hohenzollern lies to the
clubhouse by Squadron A, of the Na
tional Guard, and attended by his
suite, Rear Admiral Von Baudissin and
his officers aud other guests. All the
party were in carriages, while at the
head of the. line rodr, a detachment ot

Nobody was at Strumitz to meet Miss

With lead after the ransom had been

FIST FIGHTJN SENATE
Tillman and McLaurin Engage in
Disgraceful Brawl.
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.
