SAILING THROUGH SPACE.

Prof Campbell, of Air-Ship Fame, Makes
Some Statements - Confident He Has
Solved Problem That Has Knocked
Out All Others.
Prof. Peter Carmant Campbell, the gen.
tleman who claims to be the only man in
the world to construct an air-ship which is
in the least practicable, arrived in the city
last night from the West. He will remain
here for several days, and if possible will
give an exhibition of his invention during
the coming week, the intention being to
make public ascension.
The experience of sailing through the
space in an air-ship is not q new one to
Prof Campbell. He made successful as
cension in Buffalo, last July. The ship
was started at 4:15 in the afternoon, and
continued the journey until after 6 o'clock.
An attitude Of 5000 feet was reached, and
the ship was conducted in all directions,
both with and against the wind, and then
landed safely in the suburbs of the city. It
was the most successful ascension ever
made by the professor, and the clim az OF 30
years of study and experiment. In speak
ing of the subject last night, he said:
"I know that am the only man who has
solved the great problem of a successful air
ship. 1 have been. been working on the idea
for many years, and at last my efforts are
crowned with success. Men have encireled
the globe with railways; they navigate the
seas; the science of electricity has been won.
derfully developed during the last few
years, and why should not advancements be
made in orther lines?"
Mr.. Campbell's air-ship consists of a huge
egg-shaped balloon, so feet long and "a feet
high. 1t holds IL, 027 ieet or 800 pounds of
Al. Il
feet in length, secured by ropes. One end
is fitted out with a rudder and the other end
with propeiling wheel. while beneath the
car is second wheel, the same as used in
screw propeller. The two wheels are set in
motion by means of a crank.
In addition TO the Buffalo experiment. the
professors ship has undergone other tests of
a satisfactory character. The professor is
very enthusiastic over mis- invention.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
STRoUDsBURG, October 18.-City Splic-
itor Warwick and George B. Orladv left the
Delamater party at Scranton last night, but
the remainder of the campaigners made an
early start this morning and reached Homes
dale in good time. They were met at the
depot by a big crowd. and, headed by a
band, procession was at once formed and
the line of march taken up through the
main streets to the Court House.
The decorations were profuse and the can
didates were accorded an ovation all along
the route. Fully 500 people were crowded
into the Court House, when at 10 o'clock
the meeting was called to order. Addresses
were made by Delamater, Watres, Stewart
and Lyman D. Gilbert, all of which were
well received. Dinner was served at the
Allen Hotel, after which the party hurried
on to Carbondale, where the residents turned
out en- masse and another enthusiastic meet
ing was held.
Strcudsburg was reached shortly after
dark, and it seemed as though all the Re-
publicans in Monroe county had turned out
to greet the candidates. County Chairman
Walton was in charge of the reception, and
the Republican League, with three bands of
music, headed a brilliant torchlight pro-
cession, which escorted the party through
the gailv decorated streets to Court House

ANOTHER ATLANTIC CABLE.
CAPITALISTS MEET IN LONDON TO CON.
SIpER THE SCHEME.

Eight Hundred Thousand Pounds Capital
Behind the Undertaking-The Object
Said to be to Reduce the Rates-The
Plan Well Organized and Under Way.
rBY DUNLAP's CABLE CoMPANY.1
LONDON, October 1S-It has just leaked
out that a meeting of the utmost Importance
has taken place of n number of capitalists
headed by C. W. Bonynge, of San Fran
cisco, with the object of arranging for the
immediate putting into operation Of
scheme for the laying of a new cable
across the Atlantic ocean. The un-
dertaking is capitalized thus: Eight
hundred thousand pounds sterling
OF stock is to be taken by eight
men at e100, 900 each, to be fully paid up
and no debentures issued. The cable is to
be laid from Valentia Bay, on the west
coast OF Ireland. to point on the American
coast near New York, if possible.
Mr.. Bonynge was seen at his home In
Princes Gate. At first he expressed surprise
and annoyance that the secret had leaked
out, and refused to discuss the matter
Afterward he admitted that the statement
was correct, and said: 81 am one OF the peo-
pie interested, and have paid up e100,-
practically private enterprise, as we shall
not go to the public with debentures. We
can lay the cable complete and in working
order for $500, 900. and it will be odd if we
cannot pay a big dividend and give the
public an immense advantage besides.
Further than this l prefer to say nothing"
From another source it was learned TO-
night that the real object of this enterprise
is the reduction of cable rates between
America and England. All those interested
are of opinion, backed by strict calculation,
that the utmost public satisfaction can be
given and splendid service carried on at
rate of pence a word, and large dividend
paid into the bargain. The scheme is we'll
organized and thoroughly under way.
Mr.. Bonynge will sail for New York BY
the Teutonic on the 29th of this month to
make the American arrangements. As part
of the plan it is decided that the company
shall build and own its own wires from
New York to Chicago, st. Louis, Boston
and Philadelphia, and then control abso-
lutely and exclusively the greatest share of
all the American business. The scheme is
gigantic, and if carried out, as it seems GER
tain TO be, will revolutionize the system Of
communication between the two countries.

THANKS TO M'KINLEY.

Window Glass Workers Pass Resolutions
Eulogistic of the Little Napoleon and
His Tariff Measure-How They Regard
the Latter-Hearty Words From the
Heart.
At the last regular meeting of L. A. 300,
Window Glass Workers, the following pre-
amble and resolutions were passed by unani-
nous vote:
To the Officers and Members of l.. A. 3OO K. off,:
WHEREAS. We. the Window Glass Workers
Of America, do believe that the measure passed
in the late session of the Fifty-frst Congress of
the United States, known as the Mckinley bill,
has been Of great benefit to the industrial in
terests of the county: and,
Whereas We realize that its passage was ac-
compished by the strenuous efforts Of such
members of the House of Representatives and
the Senate of the United States as recognized
the right of the workers-the voters-tO claim
the redempti on of pledges made by political
parties during political campaign, and which
are too often totally ignored when the contest
Is decided. And realizing further that to its
author, Major William Mckinley NJ. e.. is due,
above all others. the credit for the benefits that
have and are to accrue to American labor
through this legislation; be it. therefore,
Resolved, That we do hereby express our
hearty approval of the Mckinley bill. believ-
ing that it has vouchsafed to US continued and
increased prosperity IN the trades at which we
are employed, and We do commend the true,
manly principle which prompted its author,
Major Mckinley to SO earnestly, untirinRly
and effectively strive for the redemption of
those pledges his party had made TO the work
ing men of America and to secure for their
benefit protection to American industries,
thereby reviying in the breasts of the toilers
the hope that successful political parties may
yet be brought to recognize the right of the
voter TO claim the keeping of promises made to
secure election to power.
remember that in the light of past experience
that their only hope for progress and prosperity
lies in their keeping careful guard of their own
interests, and we suggest 10 them that this can
best be done by strenuously insisting on having
their rights respected by the lawmakers Of the
nation, and this can most effectively be done
by supporting for office only such men as show
a disposition to keep faith with them. And,
further, be it
Resolved, That we appeal to the constituents
of Major William Mckinley to be careful 20
see that every man who has the interests of
labor at heart and respect for true manliness
lends his hearty support to and casts his ballot
for the return of Major Mckinley to Congress
and thereby serve notice on politicians and
political parties that labor is apprecative of
man who will respects its rights. Let this be
done irrespective of party ties and we will have
paved the way to fairer treatment and real
representation.
Passed by unanimous vote October II, 1890.

Twas the pretty general opinion among
lookers-on in Vienna that the "New York
syndicate" was in reality the Pittsburg
Traction Company. The opinion was also
hazarded that Assignee Benney had learned
enough, during his term of service in the
City Hall, to know the strategetic advan-
tage of possession of the Squirrel Hill road,
both as a feeder and as an entrance way
to Schenley Park, which knowledge i'm

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.t
ScoTTDALE, October 18.-Politics is get.
ting warmer every day in the coke regions.
The appearance of the two h. of L. speakers,
Mcclure and Carney. has spurred each
party on to active and effectual work. Re-
publican circles in Fayette county are all
torn up over the probable disfranchisement
of 163 Republicans at ConnellsVille, from
the failure to remit their taxes in due time.
The Republican leaders are making every
effort to have the matter fixed, but so far
their efforts have been futile
Connellsvilie contains at least 500 Repup-
lican voters, and the subtraction of 1853
from that list will swell the Democratic
majority to at least 300. In addition to
this, it is conceded that Pattison will
secure at least 80 Republican votes IN that
town.
Charles H. Litchman, ex-General Secrs-
tary OF the Knights Of Labor, and James
Campbell, ex-Presidento OF the Giassworkers,
will stump the coke region next week for
Delamater. A big mass meeting is being
arranged for the Bessemer works next
Wednesday evening.

HALLE, October Is. The Socialist Con-
gress closed to-day, to the relief of both the
deputies and the public, who have been
swamped by the verbosity Of the Socialists.
To-dav's session of the congress was opened
by the election of officers. Or motion Of
Herr Grillenberger Herr Liebknecht was
confirmed as editor of the party organ.
Herr Kessler next moved that, whereas,
the opinion prevails among the party that
many of its former members have been un-
justifiably accused OF being in the pay OF
the police, the congress appoint COM
mittee to report on the subject.
Herr Singer replying, expressed regret
that suspicion should have so ANONYMOUSLY
fallen upon any one, adding that it was i'm
possible for the congress 70 do what was
asked, as the members could never fad out
who was the "Man with the iron mask.
The matter, after all, was only of ofindividual
lnteTest, duu party cousluerdtIous "oio iai
superior. The subject did not demand such
elucidation. 1t was the police that were
most concerned in clearing the matter.
Herr Kessler's motion was rejected.
Other resolutions call upon the Socialist
party in the Reichstag to seek to remove the
unsatisfactory conditions of the present sys-
TEN of emigration, and especially to request
the Federal Government to exercise a
stricter supervision at the different ports in
regard to the transportation and accommo-
dation OF emigrants. A motion made by
Herr Herbert, of Stettin, to the effect that
the party abstain from voting on second bal
lots in cases where the candidates are of the
middle class, was rejected.
The President announced that 25 con-
gratulatory kilograms and So addresses had
been received during the sitting OF the con-
gress. The congress, with three cheers, ad-
iourned.

He declares that commercial policy has
nothing to do yith historical "reminiscences,
