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.

"the bridge of the 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.
The distance from steamer to tug
was too gieat for conversation , how
ever. 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. RicJiter , master of the
Kron Piinz , he and the prince met.
The prince came forward and taking
the hand of the naval officer shook it
. -warmly.

? -ed the prince. "I am very glad to be
' here on this splendid day. The em-
* peror directed me to convey his com-
plimeuts to you , admiral , and I do so
jrfwitb very great pleasure. "

tion at the thoughtfulness of the em-
peror. He presented the members of

Martini Jaw U Proclaimed for a Wido
District.
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. There is a general cessation
of work at Castellon de la Plana and
Grave , and much excitement prevails
at Batea. Forces of gendarmerie
have been dispatched to these places.
Dele ates from the labor societies
of Saragossa have visited the go\ern-
or and declared themselves opposed
to the strike.

failing and fhe distress is becoming
accentuated. The strikers are said
Co be receiving large sums of money
from ' London. ' t
In the neighboring towns the dis-

cleaning in gravity.
London , Feb. 21. Dispatches re-

between tro > ps and rioters in a subI1
urb of Barcelona , that the artillery
raked ; street after street and that 500

made a vigorous defense of the ac-
bions of the police and military at
Trieste during the recent riots , con-

trouble. The premier further asserted
b
that an investigation has resulted in

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

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
