About seventy five small punctures were
discovered yesterday afternoon in the en-
velope OF the Berry airship as IL was re-
ceiving its fna1 imitation preparatory 10
making its initial night tomorrow.
The envelope was being inflated on a
rude scahoidi"y built Of rough pine planks.
The punctur.S were caused by slivers of
wood from these pine planks working
through the canvas which had been spread
over the planks and through the compost
ton Of silk and rubber of which the en-
velope Is made.
As the gas hug became inflated il rubbed
strongly against the platform.
The peculiar lenticular shape OF the hal.
loon. supported on q rigid mast. made tha
erection OF the framework necessary and
the balloon was arranged In rolls which
unxrapped as the balloon was inHated
The escaping gas attracted the stten-
ton Of John Berry, owner of the ship
and upon examination he found these
punctures. ~

PRINCE FUSHIMI
COMPLIMENTS POLICE.

Prince FsishiIni vas impressed with the
perfect arrangement OF the Police Depart
ment for his protection yesterday. and
paid to Chief Kicly and Chief Desmond a
compliment on the excellence OF the plans
carried out.
Expecting A great crush At Union Sta
ton. the heads OF the Police and Detective
der ar.ments made special details for duty
at the station. In addition TO the regular
men. Sereeants Colestock and Field and
Captain Romer. drillriaSter. had a detail
OF twenty police to guard the gates and
keep the crowds beck, while Chlef Des-
mond sent several detectives to watch the
cTowd.
So perfect was the arrangement that
there was no delay. Notwithstanding the
crush and jam. both In the station and on
Twentieth and Olive streets. Therc was
not a single incident OF note. tho most per
feet order being maintained. except after
the Prince had passed out OF the station
and entered his carriage. when there was
confusion. But that was short-lived. as
the gates were quickly closed, and before
the crowd could get out through the main
entrance of the station the carriage con-
tanning the Prince had driven away.
The Prince remarked to President Fran
els and Mayor Wells as he walked through
the line of police and detectives from his
car TO the carriage that he was surprised
had been arranged by the Police Depart
Nent.
While the Prince was impressed with the
police ARRANGEMENT, he was not prepared
for the sight tina greeted him as he
walked put of the station gate to his car
risSe. On the vest side of Twentieth street
the cavalry stood at attention, their brown
uniforms being in striking contrast to the
throng of humanity lining the sidewalk
behind the soldiers. AS the Prince en-
tered his carriage the military salute was
given to him. which the Prince, while
standing. returned. The crowd had cheered
the royal visitor az he passed out OF the
station, and this return of the salutation
was the signal for another outburst of ap-
plause.
That the Prince was pleased with his re-
ception in st. Louis was readily seen, and
he made frequent illusions to the cordiali-
ty Of the people and precautions taken for
his protection.
