PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE latest advance
In air navigation presents features that
differ radically from those of all pre-
vious experiments. It's present stage Of
progress is due to the persistent re-

selves in Tunis.
Both scientists recently came to Paris

prominent engineers in their expert
ments, with the result that they will be

vigor. They have also received Official
encouragement in their work.
M. Filippi, after dealing at length with

which makes it impossible to carry

for all true reformers to desire that

reorganize the reform forces. l must
saw I am one of the anxious ones, but

me that those who have been most
responsible for the demoralizing of the
reform forces (the fusionists) will either
desire to figure as leaders in any effort
at realizement or will do all in their
power to still further demoralize.
If these fusionists are honest they
must admit that so far as reform goes
it is political idiocy to fuse with old
parties who have had political CONTROL
while evils have grown that make re-
form necessary; such honest convictions
should cause them to realize that their

SPLIT IN THE PARTY
Republican, May Have q Civil War
Over the Ship Subsidy Bill-COm-
binatiOn Formed in the Senate to
Obstruct the Measure.

WASHINGTON, Sunday-Unless the
drift on the ship subsidy bill changes,
there is likely to be a wide split in
the Republican party, proceeded by a
row in the senate the like of which
has not been known during this admin
istration.
Senators Hanna and Frye are very
keenly awake to the combination that
has been formed to- obstruct the bill in
the senate. Senator Frye, at least,
shows evidence of losing his temper.
Senator Hanna will not admit for
publication that there is anything wrong
or that the ship subsidy bill has any
thing else than summer seas ahead of
1t. Both assert they will have clear
majority in the senate, but the trouble
is to get the bill to vote.
Circumstances all point to a very
determined effort to prevent final
consideration Of the subsidy bill, thus
killing it by obstruction. At the be-
ginning of the session Senators Hanna,
Frye and others succeeded in having
the subsidy bill taken up and it is now
unfinished business.
1t is the determination of the COM
mittee on order of business to keep
it before the senate continually, whether
the -Pauncefote- treaty is disposed of
or not.
Opposition to the shipping bill is four
fold. Some senators are opposing it be-
cause of their dislike of Senator Hanna
Senators like Allen, of Nebraska, Teller,
of Colorado, Wellington, of Maryland
and Pettigrew, Of South Dakota, have
grievances. Other senator's, like Butler,
of North Carolina, want to defeat any
thing that Republican leaders favor.
Opposition to the ELL has so far been
largely confined to obstructive tactics
This is the surest way of killing a
measure in the senate and, indeed, is
the only way of killing bill which has
the active support uf such powerful
men as Senators Frye and Hanna back
ed by the influence of the administra-
tion and the possible majority of senate
votes.

HIGHER PRICES FOR POTATOES
Supply Is Short and Demand Up to
the Average.

The lovers of that ever popular tuber,
the Irish potato, who were foresighted
enough to lay in sufficient supply last
fall at about 80 cents bushel, have good
cause to be thankful. The potato crop
in the Northwest this season was consid-
erably less than the usual yield, on ac-
count of the dry weather in the early
spring and summer and the excessive
moisture in the fall. The demand haa
been Of the usual proportions, both
locally and for shipment to outside
points, and farmers have shown dis
position to hold for better prices. The
result is that values have been tending
higher each week until now carlots are
commanding from 40 to 80 cents per
bushel.
The cold weather is retarding ship
ments at present and an active shipping
demand resulted in a sharp advance in
the price of all varieties of potatoes yes
terday. The advance amounted to five
cents bushel for Burbanks, three to five
cents for Rurals and Ohios. seven to-
eight cents for mixed white and 10 cents,
for mixed red.
The onion crop was also affected by
the drouth in the early summer and by
the wet weather in the fall, and prices.
have been high and will undoubtedly be
still higher. From a nominal figure the
price has steadily advanced until now
the different varieties are commanding
from IS cents to 81 per Dhshel.

WHOLE CITY Is STEALING GAS
Indianapolis Residents of All Classes
Are Accused of s'BOring Mixers,

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Charges of
wholesale fraud on the part of the peo-
pie of Indianapolis-hig and low, rich
and poor, official, clerical and lay-were
made today by the Indianapolis Gas
company, the directors of which declare
that by dishonorable practices they
that they have been compelled to defer
action on dividends for an indefinite
period.
In general terms they say this neces-
sity arises from "the most extraordinary
social conditions" that prevail at pres
ent in the capital of Hoosierdom
Specifically, they say that churches,
public institutions, professional men
and merchants, as we'll as the lowly
cottager, have by boring their mixers
secured more gas than they have paid
for, and that the consequent drain on
the company's fluid has borne heavily
upon it's finances.
Boring mixers" is a term peculiar
to the natural gas belt. In that region
meters are not used, but bills are rem
dered according to the number and size
of the burners used. The gas passes
through attachments in order that the
air may be mixed with it. These are
the holes that let the gas through,
which is the basis OF the company's S
complaint, is said to have been done by
"boring'
These charges were made today by
Frank S. Hastings, president of the In
dianapolis Gas company, by order of
the directors, whose views are embodied
| in the following statement:
I'm spite of existing prohibitory
statutes, a large peFeentage of our Gus
toners have unlawfutly increased their
supply by the practice known locally
as boring out their mixers.
Every effort has heen made by your
| managers to stop this unlawful wastage,
| but, although the best legal talent has
been employed, supported by indisput-
able proofs, it has been found utterly
impossible to secure conviction, be-
cause of the fact that this illegal prac-
! tice has been SO generally INDUCED in.

clude city and county buildings, city Of
ficals, lawyers, churches, ministers of

! some of the most prominent merchants
and business houses in the city of In

| The directors say that out of $4,000
| consumers more than three quarters use
more gas than they pay for. This con-
dition of affairs naturally brings about
a lowering of the gas pressure to the
point Of putting out the fires. The COM

as many as eight guards have been

extent than usual, two of the guards
left their posts and refused to serve
longer.

the meantime Sheriff Clemens, of Union
county, Kentucky, arrived with train

graphic summons.
When the dog was placed on the trail
he followed it until he reached the house
where Rowlands lived, six blocks from

stoutly refused to give up the keys or
tell where the prisoners were hidden.
Failing to get the keys, the mob made
an unsuccessful attempt to break in the
Jail door, BY this time the would-be
lynchers were in frenzy, and, procuring
a telegraph pole, they used it as bat
tering ram and broke in the side wall
of the Jail. The side door Of Rowlands'
cell was quickly broken in with sledges,
and he was dragged from the Jail to
the east side OF the court yard, where

begged piteously for mercy, but the mob
swiftly swung the confessed murderer

his body.
Leaving the body of Rowlands dang

rushed back to the Jail and burst open
the cell occupied by Henderson.
The negro, half dead, was dragged at

unScrupulOuS leaders!
No serious trouble comes under a
free representative government except
through the ignorance of the masses
and the only remedy for ignorance is
education. Education of the masses is
what is most needed at this time; to
educate we must have organizations; the
more thorough the organization, the
more rapid the education.
The power of the press and liberal
use OF money in my opinion is respon-
sible for the G. o. P. victory last No
vember, and / look for a reaction in
sentiment and opinions before four years
more roll around, SO thoroughly am
convinced Of this that 1 am now doing
all I can to prepare myself for the i'm
pending storm. Continuing wrong
will not bring right. Worshiping the
Golden Calf is just as much idoliter-
on the mount. Prosperity under free
government does not come from political
hoorah nor large standing army, but
from the success of the toiling masses
In securing the comforts of life as a

education along reform lines can be

oOout AoImlnS new pOlt1cal parties,
when it comes from the Middle-of-the-
Road Populists. True, we suggest the
name, Populists, as being more specific
| of what Populists are than the name
| Peoples party or Socialists. But even
| that change, IL it is ever made, should
be by a referendum vote. The talk
| about new presidential and vice-presi-
Dental candidates at this stage is all
labor misapplied. Rule of the Peoples
party sets that at rest. We already have
| candidates. Barker and Donnelly are
our nominees until their successors are
chosen by a referendum of the party,
and our platform is built until changed
in like manner. Everyone, however, In
the party or out of It, is at liberty to
commend what they WILL Now, to get
down to business the Peoples party ma
the presidents message is handed to
congress and they should cause a divi.
sion of the population to be made in
accordance with the plan adopted at
census. When the divisions have been
effected by states into seven approxi-
mately populous districts by the nation
al executive committee, then each Of
the seven districts should be required Oy
the executive committee to elect the or
ganization commissioner for their dis
trict. The districts should be known
as the Central, Northeast, East, South
east, Southwest, West and Northwest
district. Such elected commissioners
should receive at once commissions from
the chairman of the national executive
committee, bearing also the signature
tricts so created should proceed under
the assistance, If necessary, of the ma
tiOnal executive committee to subdivide
similarly by congressional districts. The
effort at propaganda should then be
made in those congressional districts
where congressional elections are to be
first held.
Following this plan of division and
candidate is needed for our party, if for
any reason we are not suited with those
we now have, or cannot have them, We
will be in shape to nominate by referen-
dunn vote the man who will suit the most
of us.
Keep right on with the party work.
Don't let the political death of Bryan or
the temporary elevation of Mckinley
draw your attention from the work in
hand. Yet don't forget that the Peoples
party is socialistic so far as it goes. Per-
sonally we favor united action of all
reformers along these lines; but would
be willing to meet all the elements of
reform by holding In allegiance every
issue except that of federal ownership
and operation Of adequate facilities for
transportation until that be won, pro-
vided each of the other reform parties
would hold their other issues in the
background till we got the transporta-
ton question settled right and in ac-
cordance with Socialistic, Populistic,
Democratic principles. And we advo-
cate this because it Is the one question
which we all at present agree upon.
Then by making the initiative, referen-
dunn and mandate our policy for party
government we would present solid
