A LIQUID AIR AUTO.
Horseless Carriage Successfully
Run by the Chemical.
Test Takes Place Mt New Yorl-Ap-
paratus Is Practically Steam
Engine Using Compressed
Air Instead of Steam.

Something of sensation was created
at the automobile show at New York
the other night by the liquid-air run
about that has been an object of much
attention since the show opened, The
sensational feat that the automobile
did was really to run, thing of which
most persons seemed to think it in
capable. There has been a great deal
of real interest as well as skepticism
in regard to the liquid-air auto"
and the announcement that it would
go on the track drew an assorted col
lection of curious persons.
There were professors, mechanics,
women, investors and rival auto"
makers so tightly jammed about the
booth that many could not see the
process of charging. Only liquid air
was put in. 1t was forced under a
pressure from portable metal tank
to the copper storage cylinder in the
wagon. This is of double construc-
ton. with partial vacuum between
the inner and outer chambers. From
the storage chamber the air passes
through a valve and vaporizing tank
to another cylinder that is practical
ly the boiler, for the rest of the ma
chine is practically a steam engine,
that uses highly compressed air in
stead of steam in driving the pistons.
While the process of charging was
going on many comments, facetious
and otherwise, were heard. and sew
eral stung their fingers feeling the
ice on the pipes. IT took about IL
minutes to ''get up steam," and when
the machine really started to move
there was loud handclapping, Every
one wanted to ride in it, and many
were accommodated. A reporter went
several laps around the track and
found that there was little vibration
no smell, and just the least bit of &
puff from the exhaust. The distanc'
the machine win run is stated varl
ously. From seven to 80 miles hat
been stated by the exhibitors, but +
is explained that a special engine
must be built for it. and it will ther
run so miles.

FALSE ALARM
Caused a Panic Among a Large Number
OF Children.

By Associated Press.
Chicago, Dec. 11.-Fifteen hundred
children fought and struggled and
crushed to escape the fancied horror of
death by fire this evening in the West
Twelfth street Turner Hall. There
was no spark or flame in the building,
but the cry started by youngster was
taken IN and instantly the gathering
of little ones was in panic.
Fully a hundred of the boys and
girls were swept from their feet and
trampled on and crushed against the
walls and balustrades of stairs. 9th
ers leaped from galleries in the hall
and fell in the midst of the struggling
mass below. Almost miraculously on
ly a few were hurt beyond severe
bruises.

BASEBALL MAGNATES
Were Brought TO Time by the Threat Of the
Players
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Hre5o,
New York. Dec 11.-The Players
Protective Ass ociation will be given a
hearing tomorrow by the National
League magnates now in session in
this city. This concession on the part
of the magnates came this afternoon
after the members of the Players COM
mittee made the announcement that
they were going over to PHILADELPHIA
to confer with Johnson and his Ameri-
can League associates.
Up to the time this announcement
was made the magnates of the big
league had shown no DISPOSITION to
treat with the players. The decision
10 confer caused hasty change in the
plans as to the Philadelphia confer
ence, end it was declared off for the
present The players, however, are
not satisfied with the announcement
of the committee to see them, and ask
ed to be granted a hearing before the
entire session of the league magnates.
Clark Griffith, of the Chicago Club,
said tonight: 1T is a case of do or
die with us now. If the magnates turn
us down tomorrow there will surely be
trouble. 1t will then be up to the play
ers to show what they are made Of and
l think the public will find US in the
right place. We have gone too far
now to turn back. All can say is,
that unless we get what we ask for
there will be trouble"
Just before the magnates went into
session, Col. Rogers said: 81 don't
see that the league can do anything
much in reference to the American
League. They failed to sign the agree
ment and as far as we are concerned
they have practically withdrawn from
the protection of the parent organiza-
tion. The are no longer a part of the
National body
This afternoon the Board of Direct
ors, consisting of Brush. Robinson,
Hart, Rogers and Young, went into
session. They completed their labors
ready to report to the regular meeting
of the league shortly after 5 D. m. and
the magnates promptly went into in
formal session.
President Young said: "The meet
ing was only informal and the regular
meeting of the league will not be call
ed tonight. We are simply looking
over the ground and discussing mat
ters that are to come u9."

NATURAL GAS
May be Pumped From One State 10 AnOth-

Indianapolis, Ind. Dec, 1.-THE Su
preme Court today held that transport
ing natural gas out of the state with a
high pressure by means of pumps,
when the gas is left to blow naturally
and free from the wells, and force is
used only to carry it to other places,
cannot be eniOined without showing
that some danger to plaintiffs proper
ty is threatened from the possible
bursting of pipes or otherwise, al
though such transportation might be a
violation of the criminal statute.
This opinion is considered of great
Importance, as Chicago and many cities
of western Ohio are being supplied By
natural gas from the Indiana fields.

HAD NO OPPOSITION
Platform for Gold Standard and
is Anti-ImperiaIistic.
SEVERAL SPEECHES WERE MADE
The Emblem of the National Party Will
be the Statue of Liberty on the
Capitol Dome at
Washington
SEVERAL SPEECHES WERE MADE

New York, September 5.-The National
Party, the official name of the third party
met In convention today In Carnegie Hall,
this city, and nominated candidates for
President and Vice President of the United
States, platform was adopted and a
title and emblem chosen The candidates
are:
For President Donaldson Caffery of Lou
isiana.
For Vice President, Archibald M. Howe
of Cambridge, Mass.
There were no other candidates for the
positions and the nominations were re-
ceived with hearty applause
The platform adopted declares that this
country is threatened on one hand by
public opinion, misled by organized forces
that have perverted a war intended by
the people as a war of humanity into a
war of conquest and. on the other hand
oy public opinion swayed by demagogic
appeals to factional and class passions.
The platform declares for all constit,1-
uonal means to procure the renunciation
OF all imperial or colonial pretenslons and
for all constitutional means to secure a.
single gold standard and a sound banking
system, public service based on merit
only and the abolition of all corrupting
special privileges whether under the guise
of subsidies, bounties, undeserved pensions
or rust-breeding tariffs.
The convention was called to order by
Thomas NJ. Osborne of Auburn, n. Y, who
presided at the Indianapolis preliminary
meeting month ago. Everett v. Abbott
was secretary. There was roll CALL All
the delegates were volunteers who had re-
pied by their presence to the invitation
to all persons in sympathy with the objects
of the party.
Chairman Osborne's speech In calling the
meeting to order followed the lines which
are expressed in the platform Speeches
were also made by John ]. Chapman and
Archibald NJ Howe
1t was decided that the party be known
as national party and that it's emblem
be the statue of liberty on the capitol dome
at Washington.

WANT PEACE
Russia Desires to End the Dis
turbance

st. Petersburg, September 5.-The official
Journal De St. Petersburg, reiterating the
statement that Russas only desire is to
end the disturbances in China as speedily
as possible, preparatory to which the re-
establishment of the Chinese Government
is necessary" contends that military ac-
ton beyond Pekin would only arouse fresh
complications"
The paper adds: Nothing but the action
of the lawful government of China can
accomplish lasting, salutary results. There
fore it is necessary to re-establsh its au-
thority at Pekin, and the withdrawal OF
the representatives of the powers to Tien
Tsin will be helpful in this direction, as 1t
would be regarded in China as proof that
the powers have remained true to the spirit
which inspired the original programme"
The journal De st. Petersburg concludes:
However great may be the just indigna-
tion which events in China have provoked
in all civilized countries, the Russian Gov
ernment, while examining with necessary
calmness all the questions raised by the
recent occurrences, adhered unalterably to
tn principles forming the basis of her pol
icy, namely, the maintenance of peace with
all the powers who are solidly united for
the common good"

the evening. He was repeatedly cheered.
An overflow meeting was held in Monu-

addressed by Addison C. Harris, United

The meeting tonight, the Republican
managers say, is only preliminary to
much greater effort about the middle Of

MERELY MATTER.
OF FORMAL|TY
New York Republicans Met in
Convention and Nomi-
nate a Ticket.

Saratoga, N. Y, September 5.-The Re-
publican Convention which adjourned at
1890 today, while remarkable in some re-
spects was devoid of the interest engen-
dered by strife and uncertainty. The ap-
pearance of such men as former Governor
Black; Hon. Chauncey M. Depew and Gov
ernor Roosevelt, attracted an audience that
filled every available seat In the great con-
vention hall. A great majority of the spec
tators were women.
The principal features of the convention
were the return of former Governor Black
to the organization fold, the demonstration
accorded Abraham Gruber by his col
leagues of the New York delegation and
the general ovation given to those who
have at times opposed the organization
1t was rather a delicate task to impose
upon Governor Black the duty of naming
the man whom he defeated when an as
pirant for the same nomination four years
ago and of praisng the administration of
another whose nomination to the Governor
ship meant the retirement of Mr. Black
two years ago. Yet he performed both
tasks acceptably and was accorded a greet
ing which was exceled in enthusiasm only
by that given Governor Roosevelt.
Chancey M Depew's speech was thor
oughly characteristic. While the applause
throughout the convention had been gen.
eral 1t cannot be denied that there was
general apathy, occasioned no doubt by the
certainty of pre-arrangement of every de-
tail. 1t was not until Governor Roosevelt
entered the hall that anything approach
ing the usual convention demonstration
was witnessed. The greeting accorded him
today was in the same spirit manifested at
Philadelphia.
The ticket is made up as follows:
Governor-B. B. Odell, Orange.
Lieutenant-Governor-T L. Wood
ruff, Kings.
Secretary of State-John T. McDonough,
Albany.
Comptroler-William ]. Morgan of Erie.
State Treasurer-John P. Jacket OF
Cayuga.
Attorney-G G. Davies Of
Oneida.
State Engineer-Edward A. Bond of JEFF
ferson.

THE POPULATION OF BIRMINGHAM
IS OVER TH|RTY.E|CHT THOUSAND
But What is Really Birmingham Con-
tainS Close Upon One Hundred
Thousand Inhabitants.

the population column the Mayor modest
ly declining to make an estimate.
The enumerators ascertained the popula-
tion of Birmingham early in June, and
Supervisor R. B. Smyer mailed the COM
plete lists to the census office on the oath
of June. Mr.. Smyer's men completed the
enumeration of the other towns in Jeffer-
son and the county as a whole before the
limit, had expired and not single sheet
WAS returned to him for revision or ex-
PLANTATION.
OF more practical interest to the citizens
of Birmingham than the citys population
is the population of the county. For
Greater Birmingham includes the larger
part qf Jefferson. The population of the
county is believed to be between 139, 900 and
100000 against SS,501 in 1S90-a gain of nearly
60 per cent. If all the cities and villages In
Jefferson County which are parts of the real
Birmingham and connected with Birming-
ham by trolley lines, and the intermediate
popula ton, were annexed, this city's popu-
lation would be today not far from the
hundted thousand mark. Woodlawn, Gate
City, Avondale, East Lake, and Eyton
have doubled in population since 1890.
The population of Birmingham by wards
is as follows: First ward, 4,S42; Second
ward, $3.50; Third ward, 1885, Fourth ward,
2,O15; Fifth ward, 67SS; Sixth ward, 2,949;
Seventh ward, 5.O96; Eighth ward, $3.50;
would have shown much greater popula-
tion.
Had the consolidation act proposed to the
last Legislature been suffered to pass and
Birmingham thereby given its own, the city
