CROWDS AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Late Hour Does Not Interfere With
Demonstration.

Though it was understood that Prince
Henry of Prussia would spend but twenty
minutes in indianapolis. the people of that
city accorded him most gc nervous recep-
ton tonight, when more than 5000 citi-
zens assembled at the Union Station.
Greeted With Cheers.
The train bearing the royal guest ar
rived from Louisville at Hos and was
welcomed by enthusiastic demonstrations
from the crowds on either side. The train
drew slowly into the station and the
rumbling of the wheels was drowned in
the shouts of the people as It passed.
AS soon as 1t was inside the ropes were
removed by the police and strung across
the end of the station and the crowd
surged into the vacant. space, within full
view of the rear platform of the car on
which the prince was to appear and from
which he was to make his response to the
greeting of the mayor.

expressed regret that conditions were
such that the prince could not make
more extended visit. Mayor Bookwalter
followed in minute address.
Prince Henry replied that he greatly
appreciated the presence OF so many peo-
pie at SO late an hour. and recognized
it as a part of that generous ovation
which has been extended at every place
in this country.
He then came out on the rear platform
and surveyed the people with whom the
police were constantly struggling to keep
them from a nearer approach While the
struggle was going on the rope suddenly
gave way. and the crowd surged into the
open space, and several persons were
trampIed upon and seriously but not fatal
ly hurt. After a twenty minute stay the
train pulled out on its way to st. Louis.

Prince Henry's Leap Cheered by Louis
Vile Crowd

From $4,000 to 5000 persons throngeG
the Tenth Street station at Louisville this
evening. Every nationality was repre-
scented in the crowd. and the cheers were
hearty.
The royal train drew in the station at
7:47 and remained until s. After the train
was brought to a stand. a gangplank was
thrown from the platform of the princes
coach to the platform. The train was
started again and the plank tore through
the platform, greatly frightening those
upon it. .r..

One of the car doors was torn off. but
no one was injured. The gangplank was
splintered, and it seemed for a time as
If it would be impossible fer the prince
to get upon the platform. He pluckily
overcame the obstacle however by jump
ing the chasm. which caused tremen-
dous outburst OF cheering by the crowd.
The prince landed in Mayor Grainger's
arms, and for minute or two they re-
manned il embrace.
Then Consul Pollier introduced the
mayor, who was still holding the prince
by the arms. The mayor delivered an ad-
dress of welcome and presented his high
ness with an album osouvenir of the city.
The prince thanked the mayor Tor the
present and said he would make speech
but for the fact that he was hoarse.

A KENTUCKY CONTRIBUTION.
Distinctive Products of the Staten
Glass-Presented.

There was a telegram waiting for the
train at the Nashville station. 1t came
from Judge Simms. chairman of the Bowl
ing Green reception committee. 1t was
addressed TO Admiral Evans, and read as
follows:
Would it be proper to present Prince
Henry on his arrival at Bowling Green
with few bottles of Kentucky whiskey?"
Admiral Evans, without stopping to
consult the prince, instantly wrote the
following reply, with earnest instructions
to the messenger to be sure that it was
put on the wire as quickly as possible:
1T would be entirely proper and ap
propriate to make the present you men

dies in the City.

The reception committee had provided
carriages, which were drawn DIP by tine
railroad station prepared TO take Prince
Henry and his suite on a ten minutes
rapid transit through the city. This was
not in the original programme, but on
the return from Lookout Mountain the
prince and those with him entered the
carriages and got little glimpse of Chat
tanooga, which was much larger place
than they had looked for from their read
ipgs.
Cheered at Departure.
On the return to the railway station,
where a great mass OF cheering people
were assembled, the visitors quickly
boarded the train. which moved amid
vast deal of hurrahing. One of the most
satisfactory souvenirs which thus far have
been presented to the prince was given
by the Chattanooga Board of Trade. II
consists of superb album of Photographic
views of all the historical points about
Chattanooga.
1t was presented by Mr.. Newell Saun-
ders. chairman OF the Board of Trade, in
a brief speech. The album was received
by Prince Henry with every manifesto
ton of pleasure. In accepting 1t he said:
Il thank you very, very much for this
beautiful souvenir. | shall keep it as
remembrance of my day here with You
in this interesting historical locality"
A Furry Of Snow.
The sun was shining brightly when
Chattanooga was reached, but by the time
the visitors were on the point of rocks
on Lookout Mountain there was a little
furry Of snow. In Chattanooga the snow
stiil continued at intervals. as il did all
the way on the journey to Nashville,

A Souvenir Pamphlet.

General Boynton had also caused to be
prepared a neat little pamphlet, contain
ing an excellent map and concise and
spirited account of the military opera
lions about Chattanooga. On the return
to the train these pamphlets, in suitable
envelopes. were distributed among all of
the party. and are preserved by the Ger

few minutes spent in looking at the splen-

eur Prince Henry asked that the mill
tary movements on the field below be ex-
planned.
This General Boynton did with such
clearness and minute knowledge of every
detail of operations. that as his MARIA
tive continroS the group of German Of
fcers gathered closer and closer about
him, listening with intense interest to
what he said, and following with their
eyes the directions in which his finger
pointed as he indicated the maneuvre on
this or that portion of the field.

Interested in Description.

General Boynton's explanation of the
battle lasted, in all, something like ff-
teen minutes, and was interrupted now
and then with questions by Prince Henry
touching upon some point which he had
not quite grasped or on which he wished
further details. Among the German Of
ficers none was more interested in Cen
eral Boynton's description than General
Won Plessen, who followed every detail
with the closest attention.

Not Permitted by Rules.

There was some comment in Cincinnati
on this same subject. the critics as well
as the free and enlightened citizens of
Bowling Green being ignorant of the fact
that the rules of the German navy do
not permit an officer to lift his cap from
his head.
Prince Henry in the short time he was
in his company conceived great liking
for General Boynton, as also did General
Won Plessen. General Boynton accom-
panied the train to Nashville and was the
princes guest at dinner on the train.

He has had the whiskers on his cheeks
trimmed closely down, and the ends of his
mustache even more emphatically pointed

rather dropping, so that the chance OF
Captain Schwind being again mistaken
for his Royal Highness is more remote.
