As the first gun sounded tho princo ad vanced to the end of the bridge of the Kron I'rinz Wilhalm and stood at attention. As he passed tho big Amorlcan flag floating over the fortl cntinn ho raised his cap in salute and the member of his suite did likewise. The flag at tho jackstalf of tho Kron I'rinz was dipped and the Gorman naval band accompanying the princo ployed "Tho Star Spangled Hanner." Tho guns of Fort Wndsworth wero not silent boforo those ncross the nar rows nt Fort Hamilton boomed out their salute. When that ceremony was over the Kron I'rinz was stopped and tho Nina hauled around to her port side nnd Admiral Kvnns and his stniY boarded her.

He was met by Sec retaries Hay and Long, Count Quad and two other attaches of the German embassy. Ten minutes later ho left for tho white house. Intermingled with the crowd at the depot was o small army of secret service men, de tectives and policemen. Special pre cautions hud been taken to insure tho Bofcty of tho prince and his cor tege and to keep the people from pressing closely upon the party nt any stage of its journey through the public places in t lie city. Arriving at the white house the parly wan conducted through the main lobby into the red parlor, thence into the east room and from there the princo was conducted through the green room to the blue parlor, where tho president was in waiting to re ceive him. In conformity witli diplo matic etiquette the president received the royal visitor In private and with out Introduction. Thla was made necessary by the fact that there 1 now in the United States no re pre scntativo of the German nation ol sufficient high rank to present to the president n prince of the royal blood, a brother and pcrsonnl representative of the German emperor. Tho prince was warmly greeted when he visited tho senate and house or representatives in the afternoon. Ho not only saw tho houses of the American congress at work, but in the senate be witnessed one of those intensely dramatic moments which occasionally conic in tlint body at the conclusion of a great debate. The dinner given to Prince Henry by President I'oosevelt nt the white house Inst night closed the honors bestowed on the royal visitor by olll cial Washington yesterday. The af fair was on an elaborate scale and brought together u most distin guished company. BY A STRICT PAttTY VOTE.

After eight , hours of tumultuous clebato yester day the senate shortly before seven o'clock In the evening passed the Phil ippine tariff bill by u vote of 40 to 20, a strictly party vote. Senator Till man and Senator McLuurin, tlic two senators from South Carolina, who on Saturday last were declared by the senate to be In contempt because of thoir light In the chamber, were not permitted by voice or by vote to par ticipate in the proceedings. The question as to their right to vote pre cipitated a sharp debate, busting near ly two hours. The president, pro tern., Senator Frye, held that the two sen 1 ators could not roto and he was sus tained by n majority of the senate. During tho debate on the Philippine bill Senator MoComiis and Senator Wellington, of Maryland, became In- volvcd in a controversy, during tlio ' course of which the latter declared that if Senator McComas should make his statements outside of the ) senate chamber he would brand them ' as a malicious falsehood. He was called to order promptly and resumed his scat amid considerable excite ment. IN A STATE OF TERROR.

In every instnnco the object sought by i tho inccudlurios was accomplished by j the destruction of tho offices with their line equipment ot delicate bal ances. Tho raiders did not hesitate to jeopardize life aa all but one of tho buildings wero ulso occupied by sleeping families. As it was, men, women and children were hurled out of their beds by the shocks and se rious injuries inflicted. The full ex tent of tho damage cannot now be estimated. Don't Wiiut the lilni8u.

South Carolina Senator Not Permit ted at Prince Henry Dinner. . Hocntmo Tllltnnn ' In Contempt of the Honitte the I'rcnldntit Withdrew Invita tion to lllin himI tlio South Ciiro llniiii I II tter About It. "Washington. Feb. 25. The president Monday withdrew his Invitation ex tended to Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, to attend the dinner given Monday night in honor of Prince Ilenry of Prussia at the white Iioubo. This action on thr part, of the presi dent was made neeesxnry from tho fact that owing to occurrences on the floor of the senate last Saturday the senator from South Carolina was de clared in contempt of the senate. The invitation Was extended ori ginally to Mr. Tilltmih owing to tlio fact that he is the ranking minor ity member of the naval affairs com mittee. Commenting upon the letter Mr. Tillman said: "The president, of course, has the right to invite any one he cIioobcs to dine with him offi cially or otherwise and also has the right to withdraw such invintion. A9 I am not conscious of having done anything personal or official which gives the president tho right to in sult, I urn surprised nt his action. Tho Invitation to the dinner came to mo unsought and unexpectedly nnd so far as the withdrawal is concerned It Ib n matter of absolute indifference to me. It is tlic motive behind It which seeks to put me in the condi tion of unworthlncss to meet the president and his guests before final action by tlic senate. Princo Hen ry, the president's guest, comes from a country where custom makes it obligatory upon any man who regards himself a gent Ionian to promptly re sent nn insult and the method is by challenge to a duel. That was once the custom but now it is obso lete In the United States and we have been forced as a people here to cling to the old Anglo-Saxon rule of con sidering the lie direct as the first blow nnd no man could hold up his licnd in decent society should he, being nenr enough to answer the lie with a blow not to give. The president has no right to judge me guilty of conduct unbecoming a gentlemen unless he belies all his antecedents which led one to believe that ho would .have done just ns I did under the circum stances. As to which of us is the gentleman in this matter, in view of tho unsought invitation to dinner at the white house and its indecent withdrawal I nm willing to nbido by tlio judgment of nil brave and self respecting men."
