ALL BECORDS BROKEN FOR
DIRIGIBLES.
Count Returning from Bitterfeld to

Berlin. May CO. — Count Zeppelin, whose r?
taarkable performances in hie first airship
broug!' great honors to the inventor, accom

reer He guided his Zeppelin II from FHedrichs

rjjfcc. without landing carrying; two pngin^eia
tzi a crew of seven The journey lastfd nearly
t»-€i!ty-t' tro hours, and. s-o far as is known to-
Tirbt. Count Zeppelin is still in the ai- on 1> •■■
T*tum journey to Friedrichshafen. He has ai
j«ady beater, all records for dirigible balloons.
■Kith *^ c opportunity of greatly improving the
performance.
It was announced and widely distributed In
special edition? of the newspapers that th"
count would come »o Berlin and land at the
Tcopelhof parade ground. Hundreds of *ho-j
pinds gathered there this afternoon. The Em
peror a~d Empress, several of the princes and
the leading military" officials and officers were
present, and toward evening searchlights were
set to Trork. in expectation of vhe approach of.
tbe airship. Soldiers kept an enormous >pac
clear ur.ti! 10:30 o'clock to-night, when a Ji^-
M r from Bitterfeld announced that the ail -
ship was returning to the starting point nt
Friedrichshafen. This n<-ws caused intense dis
■point .
Count Zeppelin, whose hand was on the till
tiring the greater part of the Journey, had not
tHowed a word to be made pub'- relative to his
isentior? to undertake an endurance trip. It
us, however, common knowledge that he in
tended to seize the first favorable opportunity
to proceed to Berlin in his new craft, built to re
plice the on" destroyed near Echterdineren last
par
THE START MAL'B AT NIGHT.
The voyage began cndei rather unfavorable
ponfiitioiiE. There was b lowering sky. rain
r]ouos and p. strong side " l md when the airship
kit the floating hail, shortly after 9 o'clock last
Bight. The residents did not pay much atten
tion to this, as they wen? accustomed to night
Sights, and whtn the great ship took the air at
?:42 there was not a cheer to speed her on her
way. Sh^ ascended directly for a few hundred
feet ani passing.over the town of Friedrlchs-
Tjafen. started northward.
Early in the morning th<* people of Treucht
linren, a emn" 1 ] city In Central Bavaria. wer<?
awakened by the noise of the propelleni of the
craft, which was passing slowly at a low alti
tude. At th?? place the count dropped out a
rard, which announce^ his intention to proceM
further -north. This was his first trip over Ba
varia, and his arrival an hour and a half lat«r
at mn — - caused the greatest surprise* to
thousaads of pleasure seekers, who wore pre
paring for th holiday <?xcursionf-\
**~.Tfcfc ■»» manoeuvred cvr the city, ajid then a
card, was thrown out- saying that a greater
amount of water and benzine had leen used
than was expected a.nd that the craft would
des^nd to th« surface of ].aUe Dutzenteich to
replenish the water supply. This, however, iras
wit carried out. Count Z^pp*'lin continued hi«
crui«e onward without interruption in a direct
line toward Berlin, passinr over several towns
*t a low height, amid the cheers of the populace,
■until he reached the fror.xi-rs of Saxony, where
the airship ras headfd <trai^ht for LeiyTslc.
MAXCEUVP.ES OVER LEIPHI <- .
Telegrams received there had indicated that
Count Zeppelin •would make a landing; ami the
entire population Waited for several hours in
the streets open spaces to greet him. Th«
<-ounT. however, put his craft through a series
of mantpuvr^s for half an hour, coming at times
comparatively close to the tops of the building?.
He then went on. crossing Haile lo Bitterfeld.
Xo timr was wasted there, and to everybody's
j-'jrprise the airship, - describing a groat
UrcU'. turned again and sailed to tho south.
In tne. mean t'rne the military authorities at
Berlin -ocro absolutely without advices as to the
count's plans. Major Gross, commander of the.
army balloon corps, said that no arrangements
had r«?e.n made for th<? landing of the airship at
Tegel. the military balloon headquarters. The
local authorities, however, learned from private
dispatches that tlie airship was approaching,
and so Informed th» Emperor nd princes. Or
ders -were given »<• prepare a space, in the T« m
fJehof fkld. 1 his was surroundr-d by lines of
$Kiee and troop*, and almost all the population
of th<- capital twarmed thither and eagerly
■aafti the airship until long after dark. Then
* special newspaper spread the - ssing news
of the airship's return. Ibe crowds at first re
fused to give credence to this report, but finally
Aspersed. When 'Jie Enu^ror and Empn left
th* fielu the troops marched away.
Recent ditpatches from Berlin have indicated
*att the German Kmjrf-ror and l.ipii army officers
asfls been inclined to discard the Zeppelin airship
for the Gross ar.fi Parseval vemi-riKid types. It is

\n explosion in a Chinese lniin-iry belonging
to Lang Lee. at No. 204 East 23d street, last

The laundry v «- completely -wrecked within,
and the window, with its surrounding frame
work, was blown out into the street. Th*
demolition was so complete that the police are
mciin clc '1 to th« belief that a bomb was '' ft In
the store.
Added credence was given to the bomb theory
by the fact that children placing In front of th«
laundry had been warned by a Chinaman, for
whom th*> police are now searching to keep
away from the street in front of the place. The
police later arrested Frank Shiller. who. it Is al

he served the archduke in ■ hotel where he spent
much time. He visited Salvator at Palnesville. and
as soon as he saw the man he said it was the
archduke. "The tone of bis voice, his eyes and
his mannerisms convinced me." said Klein to-night.
"There could be. no mistake. No two men In the
world could be BO much alike."
"From what the newspapers have been saying. I
expected to see a small man. all bent over with
age and shrivelled up like an old man. Archduke
Johann is as tall as when he left Austria.
"It is in connection with this height that I re
member him quite distinctly. He had an affection

used to ceo. One say be bent over me and took
