aa the personal representative of ' his
brother, the present emperor, the president
and members of the administration have
taken lively personal laterest in tha
arrangement for his reception. The matter I
haa been the subject ot frequent discus-
olon' at the meeting of the cabinet and the
details of the plana for the entertainment
and comfort of the royal visitor, have con-
tahtly been referred to the president for
suggestion or approval. It will be the
president's wish that, avoiding all ostenta-
tlon, the prlnca be given a cordial wel-
coma. ' .
; So far as federal authority controls In the
matter, that plan haa been carried out.
Tha prlnca haa met tha prealdent and tha
welcome he received was genuinely hearty
and open-handed and be. in turn, showed
