BARSrA's PLANS FOR CROSSING THE OCEAN
| IN A BALLoON.-[ Letter in New York Times.
Now that that attempt seems to have failed
propose to take the matter into my own
hands. l am already in correspondence
with eminent acronauts in France and Eng,
land. l shall sail for Europe in the Scotia
next Wednesday. A cable dispatch has al.
ready been sent to the English press an
nouncing my errand, and on my arrival in
London I shall consult with the most emf
ncnt and successful navigators Of the air and
obtain their opinion rs to the best materials
and shape for the great balloon which l pro.
pose to construct. am at present uncer.
tain whether TO have it constructed in China,
where labor is cheap and silk is most penti-
ftll, or in Paris at the establishment Of N.
Nsdir, where were produced the balloons so
many Of which successfully passed the lines
of the Prussian army during the siege OF The
city. intend to have my monogram, Z. L.
B., together with the American eagle and
other patriotic devices, interviewer in the
fabric Of the silk.
AFTER the balloon is flushed I propose to
make An experimental ascension from tile
grounds OF the Sydenham Crystal Palace, In
order to see that everything is 10 proper
working order. Having done this, and hay
Ing taken the advice Of the most distin-
guishcd scientific men as to the best kind OF
gas for imitation and the most propitious
time for making The experiment, shall pack
up the balloon and bring it across to New
York. Ny idea is to have the ascension
made by three aeronauts Of different nation.
alities-one American, one Englishman, and
one from France or Germany.
In answer to questions from the reporter,
Mr.. Barnum stated that he was prepared to
expend any sum necessary for the proper
accomplishment of his purpose. Money will
he no object success is only what he desires.
EVERYTHING connected with the outfit is to be
OF the best quality, and $4,000 is the least
estimate Of The expense. The utmost care
will be taken to select none but the most
experienced and courageous naYiSators tol
| the expedition.
For forty years, said Mr.. Barnum, | have
been a Snowman, and in spite of all talE
| about humbug, the public have confidence
| in me, and know that always carry oul
what | undertake. firmly believe that this
experiment will be successful. AT my time
| of life I have but a few years lclt, anc
| in them intend to DO great things. L M'V'
reserved the SkyrockctS and the grand trans
formation scenes for the close OF the per
| formancc.
! Whatever the cost Of this undertaking ma!
| be, l expect that il will be repaid TO me four
| fold by the proceeds obtained from exhibit
| ing tho balloon after the TRANSATLANTIC voy
age has been successfully performed.

THE QUEENS SPEECH.

The general tenor Of the Queens speech
to Parliament yesterday Is exceedingly pa
ciac. Friendly relations arc declared to ex-
ist with the entire world, and the illusions
to Russia and the Asiatic question, which
may be said to be the only spark of trouble
on the British horizon, are extremely mild.
Ths San Juan boundary question and the
result of the Geneva tribunal discussions
under the treaty of Washington arc the only
points affecting the United States. Both are
acquicsccd in with the best grace possible.
The speech has nothing whatever about the
rather anomalous condition Of affairs In
France, and confines itself to single allu-
sion to the proposition for renewal of the
treaty of commerce, which was framed under
tho deceased Emperor hut which has since
expired.
So far as home Interests are concerned,
some very important measures aud reforms
are promised, which, II Is to be hoped, will
be carried out. These and q significant para.
graph In regard to the African slave trade
arc the only material points in the speech
The document is rather larger than usual, and
will be generally satisfactory to those immc.
diatcly concerned, as well a. to the world at
large.
National Republican., 1873-02-07

insignihcancc France, England Germany
all have outrun us in the race. The policy
which was initiated In the beginning Of our
Government by the statesmen Of the earlier
day, when the conditions of commerce were
different from what they arc now, has not
been pursued intclligently as ii should have
been pursued. They laid the ground work
upon which, In the short space Of seventy or
eighty years, we were enabled to build up
wooden marine equal to that Of England,
starting nearly five hundred years before. But
when iron supplantcd wood, we failcd to
adopt our policy to the new and altered con-
ditiOns and as q consequence, we are to-day
behind In the race, so that to-day Of the hur-
drcd and nine steamers that bear Immigrants

eially we are bankrupt people. Mr.. Cragln
yesterday showed how We can regain our lost
prestige and wealth upon the ocean. This
question cannot be smothercd and buried out
Of sight, and the sooner members Of Congress
come to Its consideration the better. Il
touches upon and affects almost every one Of
our interests and industries mechanical,
agricultural and Industrial, our power US u

Cragn has rendered a great public service in

pcnso, S2l ,2G!, ,4SJm. The apparent ex-
