SAN JOSE, Cal, Dec. 2.-John A. Heron,
an electrician, tells an airship story which
some believe and others credit to a fertile
imagination. Heron is the patentee Of an
electric platinum speaking apparatus. He
says he went to San Francisco last Thurs
day by appointment to see the inventor of
the airship. whose name he says he is
pledged to conceal. 1--WE went on horseback
to point on Sandy beach, where the air
ship was" he said. I'VE got aboard and
rose very high. The height was registered
by a meter on the ship. The inventor does
not count distance by miles. but by de-
grees. We travelled westward, and before
daybreak we saw lights, which the inven-
tor said were Honolulu lights. We then
turned east and at dusk Saturday evening
We finished our two days cruise and landed
the starting point. The airship rose
by means of two propellers The move
ment was noiseless and swift. 1t can be
stopped and held stationary in the air,
and descends light feather. The mo-
tive power is neither steam nor electricity"

Views of the vice President.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Vice President
and Mrs. Stevenson and their daughter,
Miss Letitia, returned to the city to-day for
the congressional season and took apart
ments at the Normandie.
In an interview tonight the Vice Presi-
dent expressed doubt of the enactment of
any legislation at the coming session that
would provoke much discussion or that was
in any sense of political character. His
judgment was that the Dingley revenue
bill would not pass the Senate. Concern
ing the Cuban question Mr.. Stevenson said
he did not know what action was contem-
plated. There is, he said, a very strong
feeling in the country in favor of inde-
pendence. The sympathies of the great
mass of people of the United States, in his
judgment, were with the Cubans.

FOR BOUNDARY DEFENSE.
$4,000 Appropriated by the High
Court of British Guiana.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Mail advices re-
ceived here from British Guiana state that
the high court has appropriated an addi-
tional $40, 900 for military defense. The reso-
luton recites that the sum is required to
carry out the armament begun about a
year ago when the Venezuelan boundary
trouble assumed an acute form and when
British Guiana-iI led in two quick-firing
guns and two Maxim machine guns. The
resolution was not passed without opposi-
ton, as one of the members, Mr.. Gaskin:
protested that the next thing they would
hear was that the government wanted to
provide a ship.
The question of abandoning the military
outpost at Uruan, where previous conflicts
with Venezuela have occurred, is being dis
cussed in British Guiana. 1t is not re-
suit of the prospective boundary settle
ment but because the outpost is sacrificing
many of the best officers in the British
colonial service. 1t Is the post farthest in
land where England keeps a force as a
means of continuing possession TO the ut
termost point of the boundary. The indi-
cations are that the post will be abandoned
or else a force OF black natives sent TO
garrison it.
