WASHINGTON, May 12-The first public
statement regarding the flying machine ex-
periments conducted by Prof Samuel P.
Langley, the secretary of the Smithsonian in
stitution, were made today. Much secrecy
has been attached to these trials and the
little that has leaked out has excited intense
interest among scientists throughout the
world. The account of the attempt is en-
bodied in the following statement prepared
by Prof. Alexander Graham Bell Last
Wednesday / witnessed very remarkable
experiment with Prof Langley's aerondrome
on the Potomac river. Indeed it seemed to
me that the experiment was Of such histori-
cal Importance that it should be made public.
"The flying machine was Of steel, driven
by a steam engine. 1t resembled an enor-
nous bird soaring in the air. When the
steam gave out, the propellers which had
moved it stopped, and then to my surprise,
the whole instead of tumbling down, set
tied as slowly and gracefully as it is possi-
BILE for any bird to do, touched the water
without any damage and was Immediately
picked out and ready to be tried again.
second trial was like the first, except that
the machine went in different direction.
No one could have witnessed these expert
ments without being convinced that the prac-
ticability of mechanical flight had been DEM
onstrated.' -

ton. Some come in covered wagons, some in
buggies and some in light spring wagons. All
classes are represented; men locking for bust

claims. Locaters coming from the reserVa-
tion report the locality as suddenly swarming
with men. The highway for fifteen miles was
lined with outgoing people, and those parts
of the reserve adjacent to the line alive with
p1cspectors. The farm houses of Polk county
have given up a vast horde of young fellows,
who have been boarding in them for months
past, and the sunshine of four days makes
visible a population that but few suspected

DOUBTED IN LONDON.
Times Does Not Believe the Seizure
Story.

LONDON, May BIN an editorial regard
ing the reported seizure at Chee-Foo of land
situated within the British concession. the
Times says: 1T is inconceivable that the
land which China cedes to Russia at CheeFoo
forms part Of the British concession. Such
act would entail an immediate demand for
reparation. In any case the government will
see that Englshmen not wronged with
impunity. The moral OF the incident is that
the other powers dispense with preliminary
steps when they want anything from China
and threaten force. China knows that they
are In earnest and yields. Until we instill a
similar conviction into the mandarins we shall
always come off second best where France
and Russia are our rivals

A. p. A. COUNCIL.
Only Informal Sessions Were Held
Yesterday.

WSHINGTON, May 12.-The supreme coun-
Gil of the A. P. A. this morning held an in
formal session. the first of the convention.
No business was transacted except the ap-
pointment of commit on credentials This
committee at once began making up the roll
of the council. There are about 200 dele
gates on the scene. The consensus of opin-
ion among the Eastern delegates is that at
tempts to bring the financial question to the
front will be checked. The action of the ad-
visory board in blacklisting Mckinley will
be opposed by the Western men.
An afternoon session of several hours was
held, the time being consumed mainly in
the consideration of the report of the Gre
dentials committee Committees were ap-
pointed on ritual and paraphernalia, on the
report of the executive committee, on polit-
ical action, on the presidents message and on
educational work. Hereafter daily sessions
will be held from until o'clock, and the
remainder of the day will be devoted to COM
mittee work. Tomorrow morning it is ex-
pected that Supreme President j. w. Trainor,

Several Persons Injured by the Cy-
clOnic Storm.

LINCOLN, Neb. May 12.-Lincoln was
struck at 4:45 by a tornado. The general di-
rection of the wind was from the southwest,
and 1t was accompanied by cyclonlc features.
Buildings were unroofed and torn down, and
the residence portion of the city nearly de-
nuded of trees. The greatest damage was
at the state hospital for the insane, where
many Of the larger buildings were unroofed.
The damage in the city will probably reach
$4,000 and may be much heavier, as the
suburban districts are cut off from communi-
cation.

collapsed building; Mrs. ]. b. Abbott caught
beneath horse; Henry Meyer, J. T. Thorpe.

Indians Have the Edge

ST. CLOUD, Mimi. May 12-Capt. oscar
Taylor of this city, has lately been making
an effort to have Senator Nelson and Repre-
sentative Towne secure legislation which
would permit settlers upon the Mile Laos
reservation to make entries. This has re-
suited in an examination of the status of the
Mile Laos lands and the treaties and laws
pertaining to them. The result is that there
appears to be little hope that legislation per-
mitting settlers to make entries can be Sc
cured. 1t appears that should the Indians
elect to remain, as it is said they have set
tiers now there may be compelled to give
up their locations and improvements.

SETTLERS IN LINE.
VIII Keep Their Places Till the
Rush Begins.


CRoOKSTON, Mimi, May PA line was
formed early this morning by Register Dun
lava, Of the United States land office, which
promises to be memorable line in the his
tory of Minnesota. 1t was the line which
will be kept in position from now until the
end of the rush for the lands Of the Red
Lake Indian reservation.
Some of the men who composed the line
this morning were presumably prospective
settlers upon the reservation, though there
may be question to their being able TO
hold their claims against those who comply
strictly with the law and go upon the re-
servation after 8 o'clock next Friday morning
to begin permanent improvements, and then
come back to Crookston to make their filings.
In fact, Register Dunlava this morning ad-
mitted there were likely to be many contests
over such filings, but his position is that
priority of filing will be at the same time
and thereby priority of occupancy.
When urged that injustice would De done TO
man who strictly complied with the law
and then had some other man file upon the
land he had gone upon in good faith, after 8
o'clock Friday morning, Capt. Dunlava said
that it did not seem right. but that the only
thing to do under such circumstances would
be to settle the matter by a contest If
man went up on the reservation next Friday
morning and made his selection of land and,
commencing his improvements, came back
to Crookston and found a filing made by
some one else, the date of which was even one
minute after he began digging on his claim,
the filing would be no good
1t appears plain that there will be many
contests arising out of Fridays filings, as
there will probably be many hundreds, per-
haps thousands, of men in line here who will
not attempt to go upon the reservation that
day, but have already picked out choice
pieces Of land on which to file.
The trains from Crookston reservation
points are heavily laden today. United States
Inspector Andrews arrived this morning, and
in spirited speech to the crowd, which
formed in line and was being allotted num-
bers, said that he would arrest any man who
tried any Oklahoma boomer business here and
prosecute him to the end.

itated by a motion for the char to appoint a
committee on credentials. The Higgins peo-
pie fought for the naming of the committee
by the district caucuses THE motion for the
chair to appoint finally carried. Mr. Ad-
dicks, who sat as contestant, declared that
he had been prosecuted by the Higgins men,

was received here the people, regardless of

a paper, suitably and appropriately express

culated and numerously signed. 1t was yes
terday forwarded to the delegation in con-
gress. Senators Davis and Nelson concur in
the opinion that the curative act of March
last confirmed the title of all bona fide pur-
chasers here. Senator Davis, however. sug-
gests that 1t may be well for more perfect
record title to proceed as prescribed in sec
ton OF the same act by making application
to the secretary of the interior for certif-
cate OF title. The matter is now in the hands
OF Congressman Heatwole, who is making a
thorough investigation, and, if found ad
visable, will take such steps as may be neces-
sary to perfect the title.
