Professor Samuel Pierpont Lang
ley is almost rs great lion OF the
day as if he were Il leading presiden-
tial candidate with first ballot expec-
tations. Science has her victories no
less than politics. And if professor
Langley has really inaugurated the
new age of wings and found the key
to the long standing puzzle of aerial
locomotton, it is quite certain that his
name will live in history as long rs
that OF the next president OF the United
States. OF course the professor is
carefully guarding the secrets of his
new flying machine, but there
seems no doubt that he has
made II great advance upon all
previous inventors, or professor Alex
andcr Graham Bell would not vuucn
for it as he has done. The facts that
the Langley machine is built Of steel
and moved by steam power, and that
it has travelled through the air for hall
a mile Mt height of 100 feet, are
certified. And that is an achievement
never beIOIe equhleu.
1t is said that the professor has
been at work on his hying-machine
experiments for over five years, and
has already spent $50, 900 upon them,
part Of which, it is understood, was
furnished by his friend, professor Bell,
the remainder having been drawn from
fund left in charge of the Smithson-
ian institution for that purpose by II
wealthy man. The professor now pro-
poses to build larger machine, of
suf1icient power to make a continuous
Journey of many miles and carry n
party of passengers. The cost of
this large machine is variously esti-
mated ut from $75, 900 to 1925, 600.
and it is understood arrangements are
being made to provide the necessary
funds. Probably two years will be re-
quired for the construction of the ma
chine, and meanwhile professor Lang
leys friends are urging him to give the
public further information concerning
his great achievement. Naturally he
will be chary of making premature dis
closures. The inventive geniuses of
many nations have wrestled with this
problem long and patiently, and it
will be splendid addition to the list
of American achievements ii the hon
or of solving it is finally won for this
country. Prof. Langley is a native OF
Roxbury, Mass, and graduate of the
Boston Latin school.

HON. W. H. ENGLISH DEAD.
Was a Prominent American. Having Been
Candidate for Vice President.

Indianapolis, Ind. Feb. Hon. VIM.
h. English died here, at 1873, this after
noon, after an illness of six week He was
uncons cious for an hour before death.
Mr.. English was at first attacked by
grip. This was followed by Inflammation
of the air passages and membranes of the
threat. OF this he almost recovered, but,
two weeks ago he was seized with inflama-
tory rheumatism, which, with organic
disease Of the heart of several years stand
ing, completely exhausted him. He had
an estate estimated at from IS, 600, 600 to
IS, 900, 900. The funeral will OCCUR, Sun
day afternoon. The interment will be in
Clown Hill cemetery, this city
Mr.. English was born in Indiana Aug
81, 1922. In 1880, he was the Democratic

with Gen. Hancock. He served in Con-
gress, and before the late war had been
engaged in various business enterprises.

STILL IN DOUBT.
Neither New Mexico or Mexico Sure Of the
Big Fight.

FL Paso, Texas, Feb. THE kilograms
received, yesterday, from Mexico, have ap-
parently given the sports renewal of
confidence in Dan Stuart's ability to pull
off the fight on time, but the opposition
claims that the assurances OF Gov.
Ahmuda and President Diaz are such that
it is positive that the fight will not occur
in Mexico. The extreme activity, yester-
day, in getting ready to pull off the fight.
today, showed that New Mexico was the
only place that the managers Of the fight
had fully relied on in which to have the
great battle.
The Ministers Union and those who
oppose the pirze fight state that Dan
Stuart and the men who engineered the
matter here have played a straight bur co
game" on the entire sporting public of
the country, in giving out that they had
a place where the fight could be pulled off
without interference, when their action
shows that they arc in doubt.
1t seems certain that the passage of the
anti-prize fight bill las stopped the sale of
tickets and will stop those intending to
come to FL Paso to attend the carnival
from making the trip, unless Stuart can
announce, within a day or two, the place
where the fight will lie held, and back up
the announcing mt with a concession, duly
signed by the parties in authority, grant
ing the privilege Of conducting the fights
