New York , Feb. 24. Prince Henr } of Prussia , representative of his brother , the emperor of Germany , at the launching of the hitter's Ameri can built yacht , reached New York today and was cordially welcomed a- a guest of the nation. The land bat teries that guard the outer harboi sounded the first greeting in a pon derous salute of twenty-line guns , tin rifles of a special naval squadron as sembled in his honor re-echoed tin sentiment , there was verbal greetings from the representatives of Presidenl Roosevelt the army , navy and th < city of New York and a great crowt lined the way into the city to sec am sheer the sailor prince of Germany. Tne great storm against which tin Kron Prinz Wilhelm had struggled for days , and which had glazed th ( Atl'tntio coast in an armor of ice ha < lost its force and resigned its sway t < warn. : s-mshine and cheery blue skies , $ o there were no regrets that tin - royal guest was a full day late for tin entertainment provided for him. The genius of Marconi reaching ou1 f' from the storm swept coast had defi nitely located the belated liner and made certain the hour that she would reach Sandy [ look. There was a cur tain off the hook early this morninp and it was after 9 o'clock before tin watchers caught the shadowy out lines of the cautioti-ly approachufj ! liner.

As tlif naval tug drew nearer to the side of the ste-imship , Prince Henry and .Admiral Evans causbr sight of each < other at..1 exchanged informal salutes.

As ihe two vessels with a ilocilla oi tugs aud official craft moved past Fort Wadsworth the first gun soui.ded , the prince advanced to the end of the bi ulge of the Kron Prinz . . . 'TVilhelni aud stood at attention. As he passed the big American flag over the fortifications he touched his . cap in salute and the members of his suite did likewise. The flag at the jackstafT of the Kron Prinz was dip ped and the German naval band played "The Star Spangled Banner. ' ' The guns of Fort W .dsworth were not silent before tln c acmss the Harrows at Fort Hamilton boomed out their salute. When that cere mony was over the Kron Prinz was , stopped aud the Nina hauled around * to her port side and Admiral Evans \ and his staff boarded her. The pas- seiigeis were gathered on the main deck and there was a hearty cheer as the admiral came up the gangway. Ad m rial Evans was escorted for ward at once and m Lhe quarters of Captain A.

According to Madrid advices from Barcelona the situation there is im proving , but it is still threatening. j An effort will be made today to re sume ordinary avocations. The must stringent measures have beep piepared to protect traffic and business. The strikers have few nlics , but are well supplied with re- volveis and daggers. The search of suspected houses con- tinues , resulting in the arrest of large numbers of anarchists and revolution ists of all kinds , who are considered to be the pri ne movers in the troubles. The cosmopolitan character nf P.arceloua makes it a resort for repe reseiitativcs of all the revolutionary elements in Euione , and the ranks . f the mal-oontent woikmen have been swelled by French and other foreign p'riiical ' agitators. The republicans i'a are busy among the troops , urging them to not use their arms against tlti inch own class in defense of pluto crats. The working people of Madrid . favor the strikers. Martial law has been proclaimed at Tarragonau. The strike is spread- jing ' in the Llobreugt and Cardona valleys.

In the richstrath today the premier , Dr. von Koerber. made a vigorous defense of the ac- bions of the police and military at Trieste during the recent riots , con- tending that anarchists and not c wo kinen were at the bottom of th trouble. The premier further asserted b that an investigation has resulted in establishing beyond a doubt the fact utl of ] the existence of a terrorist organ- elation whose creed was absolute law- less&ess , and against which the whole force of the defensive powers of the state must be directed. The govern or of Trieste , the premier said , acted In accordance with his duty in pro , claiming martial law and the police o and military authorities had shown ' Imuch tact and good will in perorm- ing their duties.

CITY SNUWFD IN Tork Be n tlir Itrunt of a rl r Snow Storm. New York , Feb. 18. New Tort City has borne the brunt of the fierc 0S 0C snow storm that has struck thU section ( of the country since the greal blizzard : of 1889. Beginning soon af ter < midnight the storm Incraesed rapidly : . until by daybreak the whole city J was completely snowed under. The rising force of the gale piled the snow in great drifts that for a time almost suspended traffic , except in the main thoroughfares , where the car tracks were only kept open by the constant use of snow plows and sweep ers. Communication between Manhat tin and Brooklyn was subject to long delay. ( The ferry boa's with difficulty made trips across the ice-choked riv ers , and the work of tugboats , light ers and shipping generally was almost eiaf af a standstill. So heavy was the snowfall that the loading of vessels was stopped , it being impossible to keep the hatches open. Two steamers which arrived during the night struggled as far as Quaran tine where they came to anchor. Sev eral steamers are supposed to be off Sandy Hook waiting for the storm to ibate before attempting to enter the port. BELIEVE WORST IS OVER. Tonight the local weather bureau reports that the worst of the sn iw fall , which began to abate in the af- eruoon , is probably over. The fall up to 3 o'clock this aternoon was line and 3-tenths inches. This afternoon hurricane warnings were hoisted al Sandy Hook and New York and many vessels are detained n por j. There was considerable de- ay in the arrival of the mails , trains on all roads being from one to five lours behind time. The congestion of traffic on the Manhattan street car lines was severe luring the morning , when many of the avenues were blocked with long ines of stalled cass. On Broadway wheel was confined to the narrow anes between high snow hills , and ilong these cabs , trucks and cars ; rawled at snail's pace. From other thor < ugh fares truck traffic disap peared almost entirely. In the shopping district the block- ide was so complete that several of \ the great department stores closed at o'clock. Four thousand men were set to work to clear the streets of Manhat tan early in the afternoon. Of these mlf were engaged in opening cross walks , while two thousand men iand 0 trucks'were employed to work-al' ' night clearirjfjihie main streets. On the efeffated lines there was jonaiderable ! delay iu the early hours , jut by the evening rush hours all Jlr rains were running on time , al though enormously overcrowded , ow- jt ug ] to the interruption on the sur face lines. BLOCKADE IN BKOOLYN. Thruoghout Brooklyn the blockade was even more general than in Man hattan , and little progress was made by the street-cleaning department be- vond opennig cross walks on tbeprin- ipil streets. Coney Island , Fort Hamilton and Canarsie were com pletely cut off from all communica tion over the Brighton Beach road , where half dozen trains w'ere hope- , | esslly stalled at one time. During , } he day not over 60 per cent of the ars of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit' ' system were in oper.-tion. and thous ands : were compelled to make their' ' { way on foot to Ue ferries. j Staten islanders suffered more that the residents of any of the boroughs * > f Greiter New York. The boats were all behind time and no effort w.i5 made to keep sfhelule time , the main trouble being due to the great nasses of ice packed in the slips at St. George. The island itself was completely snowed under , and the movement of trolleys or trains was brought to a halt. Even sleighs were unable to make their way through the great drifts. In the afternoon a few trains were got through on the . North Shores by using the big freight engines of the Baltimore & Ohio road" Derailed trains stopped all traffic on the south shore line. ! the few minoi k During day only a accidents to eqestrians resulted. The fleet of warships lying off quar- } antine to await the arriva. of Prince j Elenry was for hours cub oil by floatf ing ice from communication with the J shore. i Forty marines xvho were put off the hips in boats , from Staten island. weie compelled to put back and re- T turn to tue navy yard. c BUZZARD II , NEW JERSEY. s Advices received tonight fromI points in New Jersey show that the a great blizzard has been felt from Bei gen county to Cape May and frorr Atlantic City to Camden.
