Tho glare of red (ire that ctiuld bo seen for miles, tho blaze of hundreds of torches, tiro sparkle of myriads of electric lights and the cheers of thousands of peo ple made up I lie first taste of Chi cago's hospitality that was given Prince Henry of Prussia upon his ar rival in this city yesterday evening. A featuro of the procession from .the depot to the hotel was the great number of veteran Gorman sol diers who lined tho streets and who went fairly wild In their efforts to show their devotion to the prince. Only ao minutes was allotted on tho ; programme to reach tho hotel, and the first banquet to the prince waa to follow at seven o clock. Tho committee had miscalculated a trifle, however, and it was 20 minutes after that time when the dinner, which wap spread in the main banquet hall of tho Auditorium, began. It wiiB shortly after eight o'clock when the prince and his suite entered their carriages at the Auditorium hotel for their drive to the armory. Tho drive was almost an even mile in length, straight up Michigan ave nue, and for the entire distance the sidewalks were lined as closely as the people could be packed In with thou sands intent upon seeing the prince. A roar of cheers greeted him as ho left tho hotel and from there until ho passed within tho doors of tho armory there was one continuous shout. The greatest precautions had been taken in all the arrangements at tho armory and nothing could have been smoother in tho manner in which everything was carried out. Tho prince then left for the Auditorium hotel to take part in tho great ball arranged In his honor. It was per haps the most magnificent social event ever witnessed in this city, surpassing oven tho great ball given in honor of Admiral Dewey two years ago. WOULD SAVE $40,000,000.

The house Monday entered upon the considera tion of the bill to classify the rural free delivery servico and substitute tho contract for the salary system for rural carriers.

There has been no fight ing in any of the Philippine prov inces for nearly bix months. It has been said that I have opposed the reduction of our forces in the cast. That is ti mistake. In my opinion one-half of our troops might bo brought home now, and at the end of a year one-half of tiiose remaining might be returned. At the same time, too much latitude should not be given to the natives of the Philip pines. They are not ready for ficlf government and they belong to that class of people who look upon kind ness as a show of weakness." SPEAKS FOR SHIP SUBSIDY.

DISASTER BY FLOOD. In Paterson and Other Enstern Cities Hundreds Are Made Homeless. Iltidfton Itlvor Ovrrllmvrtl untl Part of Al bany Win SulimnrKiid Oviir a Million Dollar L.k Aliotit ritlnliiirc TraMlo on Jtiillroiidn Tied tip. Paterson, N. J., March 3. This city, so recently swept by fire in its busi ness section, is now overwhelmed by Hood and yesterday the quarter occu pied by the houses of the poorer class was Inundated. Hundreds of families have been made homeless by tho overflow of the I'asgaic river and tho country for miles around the city is under water. Tho fire of three weeks ago, while causing a damage to prop erty to the extent of nearly $8,000,000, did not create such sufi'ering nnd widespread desolation as the Hood of yesterday. The district for a mile along tho river front from Spruco street hill to Straight street, and two blocks north and five blocks south of the river, nearly half a mile in width, is covered with water which in many instances reached to the second story of the dwellings. In this dis trict aro situated the Rogers locomo tive works nnd several silk mills and dye works. Near by live fully COO families who have been driven from their tenements. Philadelphia, Marcli 3. The de struction wrought by the storm was so great that many industrial estab lishments along the Schuylkill river's banks will be unable to resume work for several days. Quite a number of buildings used for manufacturing pur poses had their foundations weak ened and machinery clogged with mud. The indications arc that not one conl mine in Schuylkill county will resume operations to-day. Most of the mines were Hooded by swollen mountain streams. At Pittsburg all day long great gangs of men have been at work pumping out cellars, carting away debris and cleaning up generally. An estimate of the damage done there by the ilood is hard to get at, but conservative men place the total at about $1,250,000. This includes tho loss to the thousands of workmen in wages as well as the actual property loss. All the railroads of the state have suffered severely. The water is over the banks of the river from Pittston to Nanticoko and resmbles ti vast lake. At West Moor, Firewood and Riverside near ly all residents vacated their houses. Albany, N. Y., Mnrch 3. The Hud son river overflowed its banks yester day and the entire southern portion of the city is under water and resi dents have to use rowboats to get to and from their homes. The New York Central tracks west of Albany are entirely under water and all trains are transferred to the West Shore railroad at Rotterdam junc tion. Many cities in the state report trains delayed by the tracks being submerged and immense damage done along tho rivers' banks. Wheeling, W. Vu., Marcli 3. In Wheeling, Dollaire, Benwood, Mar tin's Ferry and Bridgeport scores of factories have been entered by tho raging waters, fires extinguished nnd 20,000 men placed on the list of in voluntary Idleness that avIII continue until to-night or to-morrow morning.
