a French nying-machine corps has
landed at New York-from an ocean
steamer, not from the clouds-with the
object of reaching the Klondike by bal
loon or airship. and then proceeding to
the rescue of Andree. The members Of
the party are reported TO have left Paris
ten days ago. and to have gone. in the
airship they have along, to Fontalnebleau,
where they remained over night During
their voyage the airship attained the
height of 5000 feet when sailing over
the city of Paris. for the guiding ropes

airship is made of silk, and is now in
transit to Vancouver, b. c. It's capacity
is 1000 cubic meters. 1t carries $500 kilo-
grams about four tonsl The great
merit Of the ship is that 1t is impossible
for it to lose any gas When any of

into a separate chamber, where it is
kept for use when needed This flying

The Roston Herald, which, while Re
nubIican i'm its Earnings, is by no means
a champion of the administration, says
that il has good reason for knowing that
supported as the President is by the
great sober sense of the country, he feels
assured that if his hands were united,
and these onerous time limits were re-
moved, he could secure for Cuba and the
Cuban people. by entirely peaceful means,
better results that can by any pos
sibility be obtained as the out
come of war in which the
United States shall take part Our
Boston contemporary says further, that
the danger at the present moment is not
that the President could not b. peaceful
methods secure practically everything
that could be wished for in the case of
Cuba but that he has not, and, possibly.
will not have. the time given to him to
properly carry on this work
The Herald then proceeds to argue
vigorously against forcing the issue,
which course it declares Congress is
taking. If the Herald knows whereof it
speaks. for Congress to force the issue
would be one Of the greatest crimes Of
the nineteenth century-a crime against
Cuba and Spain and this country.

LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 3.-The fusion forces

Lieutenant Governor-E. A. Gilbert, of

Secretary of State-Wm. f. Porter, of Mer-

Attorney General-Constantine ]. Smythe,

All are Populists but the lieutenant gov
ernor, who Is Free Silver Republican, and
the attorney general, Democrat.
Mr.. Poynter may be regarded as a dark
horse, though his name had e.en mentioned
before the convention. The chief antagonism
to his nomination came from the Democrats
who held out against him as a Populist Of
the radical stripe for a time, but finding
that the Populists would not withdraw him
and that he professed to be lifelong Dem
ocrat of Kentucky Democratic parentage, they
finally acquiesced.
The Democrats sent the following telegram
to Col. w. j. Bryan, Jacksonville. Fla:
1.-THE Democrats of Nebraska in conven-
tion assembled, instruct me to send hearty
greetings and pledge the united efforts to
make the gallant colonel of the Third the
future commander-in-ohief."
The platform adopted by the Populists this
morning does not differ greatly on the lead
ing planks from that of the Democrats.

ONE ISLAND SUFFICIENT.
Senator Burrows Opposes AnneXa-

Senator Burrows Opposes AnneXa-
tion of All the Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Aug. g. = Senator
Burrows, of Michigan, was at the war
department today. The senator said
that he had no means of judging what
would be the prevailing sentiment Of
the senate as to the treaty Of peace,
as he had had no conversation with
any Of his colleagues on the subject.
"As for myself" he said, II don't
care to go very deeply into discus
sion of the subject at this time, but, in
general terms, I take this view of it:
We must have absolute possession Of
Porto Rico, and Spain must relinquish
completely her sovereignty over Cuba.
We should retain permanently the ISL
and of Porto Rico. Towards Cuba we
will act in good faith, and with perfect
justice, giving to the people Of the ISL
and a free and independent govern
ment, as soon as 1t can be established.
We must see to 1t that a good and sta
BILE government is established, and, Of
course, the future will depend upon the
ability of the people Of Cuba to govern
themselves, the United States giving
them all possible assistance and every
opportunity to maintain themselves as
a free and Independent people. AS to
the Philippines, do not believe that
we want the entire group Of islands,
with it's several millions of semi-bar-
barous people. In my opinion, we
should retain one entire island-the
best In the whole group for our pur-
poses-absolutely as our own for a ma
val station and commercial base. Our
ownership of the entire island should
be absolutely complete, with no vestige
of Spanish influence anywhere upon it.
This would give us all we want for
the development and protection of our
commerce. The rest of the group OF
islands must go back to Spain, or the
people might be left to work out their
own destiny The question of just how
far this government should exert is
self in the matter Of securing good
government for the islands which we
do not retain Is a matter Of detail fo1
the future; the only thing that I care
to say on that point Is that I do not
think this government should retain
control or interest in the rest of the
islands after having taken possession
of the one we want"
