SIDERABLE BALLOON HAS
PROVED PERFECT SUCCESS.
Exciting Trip From London to the Con-

Gear Was Used.

NEW YORK, Dec "A dispatch to
the Times from London says;
The Chronicle will publish tomorrow
an account from its own correspondent
sent fT5G; 3 balloon trip across the chan
mel. showing chat the Andre steering
ear was tested with perfect success.
The sail used was Il feet square instead
Of l2 feet the one used in land expert
ment.
The aeronauts took their course when
the 2O0-foot trail rope was in water, and
found they had detected three points
or about double that obtained on land
In Essex several weeks ago. This was
not surprising, for the frictional resist
anco OF the trail rope in water was I'M
mense. Another test gave the same re-
suits, but this time the balloon descended
within two feet OF the waves.
To keep the balloon at an even altitude
was task OF the greatest difficulty, and
owing 10 the cold air on the water, the
sun heated gas cooled with lightning
rapldity, demanding constant expenditure
OF ballast to prevent falling into the sea,
The balloon again rose 300 feet but
dropped behind a thick cloud, The sud
den eclipse caused q rapid descent and
in few moments the balloon touched
the ocean. A wave struck the car. 1t
was an exciting moment for the aeron-
auts, their gum boots being filled with
water. Percival Spencer, the famous
aeronaut, in charge promptly threw out
ballast and saved himself from sinking,
The balloon then rose 700 feet and after
clearing the French cliffs landed safely
amid Norman peasants four miles east Of

NEW YORK. Dec. PA dispatch to

An order has been sent to the head
quarters OF the army directing that the
first class OF cadets at West Point be

following June. This was in accordance
with yecommen latlon made some time
ago by Major General Miles, and now
approved by Secre:lry k;ger.
A United States army officer and off,
cial OF the war department explained
that one object ot General Miles in maxi
ing the recommendation was to supply
the pressing need now OF young officers.
Many are III or on stan duty and from
other causes the line is detected. In
the Third cavalry there are only five
officers on duty.
The assignment OF the new second lieu
tenants who number about fifty will do
much to relieve the situation and keep out
Of the service many civilians who were
unfit but who might otherwise, through
political influence, be appointed tc second
lieutenants.
