New York, Jan. 23.-Lieut. Hugh D.
Wise, of the ninth infantry u g. A.,
ON Governors island, has Just made
the first kite ascension ever success
fully attempted in America
For six months the lieutenant, en-
tirely of his own responsibility, has
been studying and experimenting with
kites as means Of assisting armies
in warfare. The tandem system of es-
pecially constructed kites is intended
to supplant the use of balloons, which
can not live in gales.
The lieutenant's kites are cellular.
They consist of rectangular frames Of
specie.
Cotton string and cotton cloth in
strips are stretched around the end
of the frame, leaving both ends Of the
rectangular frame work open and also
an open strip in the center, Thus four
lifting surfaces and four guiding sur
faces are presented to the wind.
When the breeze freshened to If
teen-mile an hour gait the lieutenant
was safely hoisted forty-two feet. so
that he could safely see over the caves
of the officers quarters and down the
bay.
The force represented by the pulling
of four kites is estimated at 400 pounds.
1--WE studied the systems of Prof.
Langley of the Smithsonian institution,
Prof. Marvin of the weather bureaus
and Irving Chanute of Chicago, who
are making special experiments in ae-
rial locomotion with aeroulanes," said
Lieut. Wise 1.-THE success of my eX-
pertinent demonstrated that kites are
serviceable in gales, which would tear
balloon to pieces. where it is desired
to observe the surrounding country
and inspect the maneuvers Of an enc
my. | attribute my success to a close
following Of the methods Of those vino
have studied the subject rather to my
own efforts"
Capt. X. N. Baden-Powell assembled
nearly 100 feet in England, but he took
parachute with him. Lawrence Har-
grave was hoisted by kites forty feet
in Australia in 1885. There are only
three instances of aeroplane ascensions
On record.

Pierre, S. d. January 25.-The money
in the State treasury, amounting to
nearly $2S0,000, is struck in the snow
in charge of a guard of military, for Y
miles east of this city. Governor Lee
and the new State officials had insist
ed ON seeing and counting the State
cash, in order to see that 1t was actual
ly in eXistance, and the State treasurer
was ordered to call in all
funds from the various repositories.
This was done, n company of militia
being detailed for guard duty to escort
the express company's employees bring
ing the funds here. The money had
all arrived early Friday morning, and
the governor and his advisers counted
it carefully, not being satisfied with
the packages, but breaking all open
and counting them. This work having
been finished, and the funds being
found all on hand, the treasure was or
dered returned to the banks, and was
at once started off.
The snowstorm, however, started up.
and the train on which the money was
shipped is showed up forty miles east

The largest national debt is that of
France, which is $4,000, 0OO, 900, or near

with $996,141,952. Though Spain is
sixth, she is the only one of the lot
which may be said to be completely
bankrupt. Her debt is 1896, 900 ,0O0
AS far as lending power is concerned
the French are altogether the richest
people in the world, for 1t is an invaria-
BILE rule in France to lay aside certain
percentage of ones income, no matter
how small the income is. Following
is the comparative list of the debts of
all countries owing over $500,000,0 900 in
1896: France, $6000,000,000; England
$4,000, 900, 900; Austro-Hungary, So, $780,

ty years ago it was as much as 81 ,OO0,-
100000, in spite Of the fact of the pres
ent increase in the indebtedness of
more than $4,000, 100000. In 1875 Spain
and Mexico were paying as high as Is

amount of her Indebtedness, France
pays the lowest amount of interest. She
pays out $1S5,OOO,OOO a year in interest,
as against England's $125, 900, Rus

New York, Jan. 23.--George Dixon,
champion feather-welght pugilist of
the world, defeated Australian Billy
Murphy, OF Cincinnati in six rounds
last night at the Broadway Athletic
club.
Murphy, who arrived from the west
couple of days ago, was trained
rather fine, and when he stripped las.
night the general impression was that
he would never be able to go the stip-
ulated distance of twenty rounds. Dix
on, on the contrary, never looked in
better fettle, and he was made a pro-
nounced favorite, his friends backing
him literally at odds of to ].
During the first half of the fight
Murphy held his own. Whenever Dix
on would lead with his left Murphy in
variably swung his right on the back
of the head, and also sent home some
good body blows, but at all times he
Judged distances very poorly. Dixon's
double blows with the left puzzled
Murphy very much, and the colored
boy landed it half dozen times dur
ing the contest.
From the fourth round to the end
Of the contest Murphy grew visibly
weaker but Dixon showed no effects
from Murphy's blows, and at the open
ing Of the sixth round was by far the
fresher man.
The blow which knocked Murphy out
was a peculiar one. 1t was left swing.
combined with kind of upper cut,
and the butt of Dixon's left hand
caught Murphy in the pit of the stom-
ach. 1t doubled Billy up and he fell
on his hands and knees to the floor,
where he CROPPED about hopelessly un..l
he was counted out.
