Prof. R. G. LeBurno arrived in
the city with his big balloon yes
terday afternoon and will make
that ascension on schedule time
this afternoon.
The balloon which the professor
uses in his skyward trip is one Of
the largest in the country, being
75x50 feet, with parachute which
measures 24 rect across. Instead
of having the parachute fastened
to the balloon, as is customary all
over the world, Processes LeBurno
has large cannon under his bal
loon, into which he crawls, pulling
the parachute after him, just before
releasing the buoyant monster.
When the desired height is reached
he pulls a string, which explodes a
quantity of powder in the cannon
and sends the man and parachute
out in the air. At first the pro.
fessor will descend very rapidly,
but as he comes downward the
parachute slowly unfolds itself,
and long before the ground is
reached the descent has become
very gradual.
Professor LeBurno is only 81
years of age, yet has made ovel
| 700 ascensions and never met with
an accident.
The ascension this afternoon
will take place at 4:15 o'clock. II
is expected that great crowds will
go out to East Lake to watch the
professor in his aerial journey, and
in anticipation of this the Biz
mingham Railway and Electric
Company has made unusual ar
rangements for handling their pa
irons, and little discomfort will be
experienced. Chattanooga Times

Lookout for Foreign Anarchists.
New York, Aug. IA. - Commissioner
General of Immigration Powderly has
requested the treasury department to
cable to United States consuls in Eu-
rope and principally to those in Spain,
France, Italy and Germany, requesting
them to keep sharp lookout for an
archist emigrants to America, and to
notify him by cable when any one of
them embarks for the United States.
They will be deported as fast as they ar
rive.
Washington, Aug. 14.-Commissioner
Powderly, of the immigration bureau,
has sent the following letter of instruc-
tons to immigration officials at New
York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore
and Quebec, Canada, relative to the an
ticipated arrival in this country of
Spanish anarchists:
Information has reached this bureau to
the effect that one Planas, a leader Of the
Spanish anarchists, has been expelled from
France, being conducted to Havre from
which port he will sail to the United States.
I am also advised that Tarrida Marmal,
another Spanish anarchist, is believed to
route to this country. A careful inspection
should be made of arriving passengers in
order that should any of this class be de-
tected a careful examination can be had
as to their right of admission into the
United States under existing laws. It Is
stated at the bureau of immigration that
there Is no law under which persons can
be excluded on the ground that they are
anarchists. Nor Is anarchy anywhere de-
clared to be crime, SO that if Planas and
Marmol are refused admission to the coun-
try the refusal must be based solely upon
the fact that they come within the reneral
immigration law as to paupers, contract
laborers. criminals, etc. This law express
ly provides, however. That nothing In this
act shall be construed to apply to or ex-
clude persons convicted of a political Of
tense, Notwithstanding said political Of
tense may be designated as felony, crime
infamous crime or misdemeanor, involving
moral turpitude, by the laws of the land

MAIL FOR ALASKA.

Scheme Proposed for Increasing
Postal Facilities to Klondilke.
Washington, Aug. 14.-The post office
department has written the postal au-
thorities of Canada concerning cooper
alton In carrying the mails to the Klon-
dixie country, but there is not much
hope of being able to reach an adjust
ment, as the American contractor may
not accept modification of his con-
tract. The proposition made is that ths
two governments should cooperate and
arrange for an interchange OF mail al
Circle City and Dawson City, the United
States to maintain II service once a
month and Canada the same. This
would give two mails every month. No
reply has been received from the Canu-
dian government, and even if 1t was ia
vorable, arrangements must be made
with the contractor who carries mail
to Circle City to carry the mail
destined for Dawson City in Can
ada. His representative in Washington
has intimated that he will not care to
modify his contract, and indicates that
In case there is to be an increase in the
service the contractor should have con-
siderable more compensation. The
post Office department cannot modify
the contract and impose more labor on
the contractor without his consent. II
isrccognizedatth the department that the
arrangement must be mutual one,
not only with the Canadian govern
ment, but with the Alaskan contractor.

man Stevens requiring Judge Wallber
to summon grand jury for the pur-
pose of investigating the charges OF
bribery that have been made in con-

It is believed the resolution will go
through the council without opposi-
ton. The legislature which convenes
next week, will be asked to pass an
amendment to the law authorizing the
city to erect and operate garbage
plant so as to do away with with its
