Indianapolis, Special.?Prince Henry of Prussia went up Lookout Mountain Sunday and after viewing the ground where the Union and Confederate armies met in conflict and hearing afresh the story of the battles, resumed his journey to the North and West. Leaving Chattanooga over the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis Railroad, his train ran through a corner of Alabama, and then turning to the north hurried across Tennessee ? with a short stop at Nashville, through to Louisville aud Bowling Green, and up into Indiana to another brief halt at Indianapolis. At inaianapons me course was changed to the westward again and on the tracks of the Vanaalina Line, his train tonight is on the reach for St. Louis. Hi3 reception in the South was hospitable and demonstrative. The negroes manifested great curiosity as to the Prince and they amused him. He heard them sing at Nashville, and ^as greatly pleased at the experience. It wa3 the Glee Club of Fisk University that sang and at the close he asked the young woman who led them to come into his car. He shook hands with her and congratulated her. There was a great crowd at Chattanooga and the Prince was given a souvenir. Nashville also made a demonstration of friendliness, as did Louisville and Indianapolis. At every station along the route the people gathered to salute him with cheers. There was much enthusiasm over Admiral Evans as well. Brief though it was, Prince Henry was delighted with hi3 Southern tour and, as he was leav lng Nashville, he said: "The people have been very kind to me. Everywhere they have received mo in the kindliest manner, and 1 rrry deeply appreciate it. I wish they might all know how thankful I am." The Welcome at Nashville. Nashville, Special.?Prince Henry of Prussia spent 15 minutes in Nashville Sunday afternoon, arriving here over the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis road, at 2:00 o'clock, and departing over the Louisville & Nashville for Louisville at 2:45. Ten thousand men, women and children crowded the union station and railroad yards foe a sight of the royal visitor and accorded him a most cordial reception. The Prince did not leave his car, but frcra the back platform smiled his acknowledgments of the demonstrations in his honor. He made no speech, a hearty 'Thank you!" "Thank you!" being the substance of his reply to the welcoming address of Mayor I. M. Head. During the stop herp the desire expressed by the Prince to hear some cf the old plantation negro sones of the South was c-atifled. the I negro jubilee singers from Fish University singing three of those tuneful melodies to the manifest enjoyment'of the Prince. One of the singingers was a member of the organlration when it made a tour of Europe some years ago and having been told that, Prince Henry, after the first song, reached over and shook hands with him, making reference to the visit t2 Berlin. His Royal Higne&s asked Governor McMillin, who wa3 standing by him, what the purport of the songs was. "They are revival songs," replied the Governor. "What are revival songs" queried the Prince, and the Governor entered into an explanatory remark concerning the old-time negro's picturesque faith and customs. A large committee of distinguished citizens, State, city and county officials, headed by Governor McMillin ana Mayor Head, was on hand to welcome the royal visitor formally. As the special pulled in a band struck up. but the loud cheers of the crowd almost drowned its notes. The Prince appeared touching his cap in recognition, and th9 special committee boarded the ear. After the usual formalities, Mayor Head delivered his welcoming speech, during which he presented a hickory cane from "The Hermitage," Andrew Jackson's old home. The cane is silver mounted. On the top of the handle is engraved a front view of "The Hermitage" and lower down this inscription: "Presented to His Royal Highness. Prince Henry of Prussia, as a souvenir from The Hermitage, the home of Andrew Jackson, March 2d. 1902." - A handsome floral design was also presented on behalf of the German American society of Nashville. In addition. the mayor's address enrolled on pachmcnt, was presented as a souvenir. It is illustrated in German colors. bears the German seal in one corner and the seal of the United States in another, the whole surmounted by the German standard and the United States intertwined. The Prince said but few words in reply, expressing himself as highly gratified over his reception. He said he regretted that he could not meet and shake hands with all the people and asked the mayor to thank them for him. The musical programme followed and promptly on time the train plied out for Louisville, the Prince and othbr members of the party standing on the rear platform.

"Well,'' came a voice from the aud ence, "If you're not aa orator, you'r a good fighter." A littlo later he said: "I was afrai I would have to postpone my visit b< cause of an incident you all probabl recently read about, that occurred t me in Washington, but one of you committee came to Washington an with his Irish eloquence made m promise to be on hand unless I wa in jail. Now, here I am, so take a goo look at me, for I am going to tal plainly." The Senator launched into an a tack upon England for trampling ui der the Irish. "For long centuries th Irish have been trampled upon an murdered by the English," said hi " '1 ~ i/v Knr "ana it may not ue amiss c?j uci state that bickerings and pett squabbles among Ireland's own son have been responsible for her cond tions today. They make grand soldiei for her away from home, but fail t show their qualities in her own bi half." Turning from this subject, he sai in strenuous tones: "If being flunkey and aping nobility and estal llshing a system that is akin to Eni land's policy is making Tories of u; then I think we are there at last, c at least the Government at Washin; ton has got there. England," coi tinued the Senator, "can squint an shake its thumbs at us and say 'Yoi work in the Philippine is as bad t ours in the Transvaal.' Why have w got such a Government? There Is tli rub. Why do you pass resolutions sue as you have tonight and on other O' casions, and then go out and vote fc those who are stifling liberty at Wasl ington? We are losing our love for 01 i-.nt,.i(AnD on/1 if W3 rnntiniie thl lUdlllUtlVUO, uuu ? ? V ~ we will go the way of other repul lies.''

TILLMAN, o Late Colonel First South Carolina Volir unteer Infantry and Lieutenant Govd ernor of South Carolina, e Tillman said:?"It is with much reis gret I am directed, rather required, to d have to send the telegram I did, espek dally in view of the fact that I am so closely related to one who but a few t- days ago was subjected to all affront a- which is seemingly, or the people who contributed to the purchase of the d sword think, unwarranted. As far as e. [ am personally concerned I care nothe ing, rather suspect Senator Tillman y would have enjoyed more the usual in13 formal meal with his family than catering to royalty at festive board where 's Booker Washington was a guest.' ' ? May Not Attend Exposition. Washington, Special.?The action of d Lieutenant Governor Tillman, of a South Carolina, in withdrawing the int,. vitation to President Roosevelt to r. present a sword to a South Carolina g officer for volunteer services in the Spanish-American war, has caused r. considerable doubt as to whether President Roosevelt will visit the 3 Charleston Exposition ,as he had inir tended to do. A number of telegrams ^3 on the subject were received from e South Carolina and other States. It ie can be stated that the telegram of b Lieutenant Governor Tillman has c. been received at the White House >r and that no attention whatever has b- been paid to it The President has 2r not yet considered what effect it may is have on his proposed visit to the exij. position at Charleston. ie Cruelty at Pon-Pon Mines.
