HohenIohe's Retirement.

When man is S years old, it is difficult to say what his retirement is due to. Prince von Hohenlohe is a man of rare culture and long diplomatic experience, but not at his age of great force The want of force on his part was not so much apparent in foreign affairs, as it was In domestic matters, and Chancellor von Beu- low is by age and natural temperament better fitted to carry through the latter.
 It should be remembered that the Reich stag is not divided between two parties as is Congress or the House of Commons In the present Reichstag there are at present los Clericals, 5S Social Democrats, 57 Con servatves, 49 National Liberals, 20 Free Conservatives, II Poles, 12 Extreme Radi- calls, Il South German Democrats, 10 Anti Semites Guelphs and 15 Independents. separately. Each is after a fashion, a party. Out of these groups a chancellor must by hook or crook secure POO votes in order to carry a bill through.
 Bismarck was a born fighter, and he de- lighted in a battle with the groups that make up German Parliament. He had every great quality including tact He was both masterful and adroit. Count Caprivi, who succeeded him, was skill ful debater, but he lacked Bismarcks pas sion for battle. Prince IIohenlohe, who followed Caprivl, was neither a skillful de- batter, nor a man of force
 What von Buelow will be able to accom- plish in the difficult Reichstag is uncer- tain. He is in the fullness of his strength he has been very successful in the Ger man Foreign Ofie; he is at home on the floor of the Reichstag, and he holds the confidence of the Emperor. He may suc- ceed where caprivi and Hohenlohe failed gifted as they were, although the new chancellor is by no means a Bismarck.

THE ANGLo-GERMAN ALLIANCE

From the Washington Times.
 As, since Mr. McKinleys precipitate bounce into the arms of Russia in the mat. ter of the proposition to cut and scuttle out of China, the United States has been generally ignored by the allied powers in Chinese affairs, 1t is not surprising that the news of an Anglo-German alliance in the far east should have struck the Han na-McKinley administration like bomb shell. MT. James Gordon Bennetts appeals to Mr. Mckinley to take Russia by the hand and, ignoring the inconsequental mas sacre of five thousand Chinese non-com- batants at Blagovestchensk by Russian sol diers, lead her into the ways of peace and piety, and, incidentally, to promote big Muscovite loan in Wall street, will now cease to be interesting.
 Great Britain and Germany have gone into partisanship for purposes which on the , face of things appear to be equitable and admirable. Their alliance has for its objec- tive the preservation of the treaty and com- mercial rights of all nations-the "open door," in fact The agreement also provides in guarded but significant language for joint action against any State which should violate it's principles and undertake to seize Mongolian territory. It is the first sensible movement toward a settlement of the Chi nese question that has come to our atten- tion. It is both wise and feasible. The union of he strongest naval with the strongest military power in the world for a just com- mon purpose will make the alliance invinci- ble especially as we have no doubt that Japan will promptly and gladly accede to its terms and add her force to the combina- tion.
 What the United States may do or re- frain from doing in the premises is an un- important consideration. When the Admin istration broke the concord of the powers by agreeing to retreat from Pekin and from China without notice to the allies, or any. request for their views on the subject, this country ceased to be factor in the equa- ton.

ZEPPELIN SATISFIED
Says His Air Ship is a Great
 Success

New York October 2S.-Count von Zep- pelin is satisfied with the performance of his air ship, says a Herald cablegram from Friedrichshafen. He says it has been proved that it was absolutely under the control of the steering apparatus. This apparatus, however, was not in the most perfect order on the first ascent. One of the rudders below the machine at the stern, would not work freely Thus, in stead of moving parallel with each other, the rudders frequently formed an. angle. This difficulty hampered Count von Zep- pelin very much indeed Opinion in gen eral is somewhat unsettled.
 The decisive trial has not yet been made for the machine is still in the experi- mental stage, though an undoubted step toward the achievement of aerial flight has been made. A nautical engineer of Geneva who is watching the trial-Liventhal, by name-expressed himself as being dubious of ultimate success
 "The prime condition of a navgahie nir ship" he said, "is that it must bs t5le to go to windward. This has T.ot been done in the present trials, at any rate nS. con- clusively, nor do I think it can bc done"
 The technical observations noted during the trial trip and other instructive details will not be available for several days yet. and until they are known it is impossible to do more than register Count von zep- pelin's summing up of the trial: Ut proved that my ship is absolutely under my eop- trol."

Baseball in Birmingham.

When one considers the subject up one side and down the other there is no outdoor sport that is so satisfactory to so many people as baseball It is the American game. America plays baseball as England plays cricket, and other nations play their national games There is less gambling and larger enjoyment in a game of baseball than any recreation affords.
 The South is to be congratulated therefore upon the formation of Southern associa- ton. This town Is a member of the asso- citation, and it will enjoy next season a series of games that will be we'll up to the standard Of professional excellence. A com pact association in the central South has long been needed, and the long hot sea- son will be rendered much more endurabe by the games that will be provided. Bir- mingham will put a team in the field that will fittingly carry it's colors. The general public should do It's share towards an en- terprise that makes for wholesome recrea- ton and health.

New York City and State.

No matter how many other states MT. Bryan or MT. Mckinley may carry each of them needs the vote of New York. The great state that casts S8 electoral votes is absolutely pivotal. It will make one candi- date and unmake the other It will dictate the policy of the government through the coming four years.
 Mir Bryan's chance for carrying the state lies in the power of Tammany Hall to roll up a majority of 100000 for him in the city of New York-in Greater New York. MT. Cro1er says it can be done, while indepen- dent observers like those of the New York Herald, say that Mr. Bryan's majority in the city will be about 25,OOO.
 This difference is great enough to change the electoral vote of the state. The state above the Bronx cannot overcome 100000 Democratic plurality in the city, while 1t can readily overcome 25,OOO pIuraliay. It thus comes to pass that New York city is Ahe pivot. If MT. Croker and his co-work- CTS correctly estimate the vote of the great town, Mir Bryan will occupy the White House after March f. and the trusts and combines will have to face an Attorney General that knows not New Jersey.
 The trouble in the case Is that Greater New York does not know MT. Bryan as

TOO EXTENSIVE

From the Philadelphia Ledger
 It appears to be a fact that Count von Zeppelin has at last succeeded in perfect ing an airship or dirigible balloon, which can be kept afloat for an indefinite period and be- steered at will against or with the wind. It is however, an immense affair, as large many an ocean steamer, and as its success depends largely on the carrying of a large quantity of gas, there does not seem to be much hope that others can be built on the same principle of a size small enough for private conveyances, which will greatly diminish the usefulness of the inc vention. There is plenty of room in the air. but the machines must come down to earth occasionally, and then there will be dif- ficulty in finding berths for such unwieldly monsters, besides which, the cost of such enormous machines must be almost prohib itory.

 According to Detective Sergeant Thomas Adams, who has spent a busy lifetime in the detective service of New York. no known device can equal this innocent-look- ing piece of iron junk. An additional ad- vantage lies in the fact that 1t can be car ried in the pocket of an ordinary coat.

Travelling in the Air.

Count Zeppelin's flying machine seems to be skllful adaptation of well known means to aerea1 navigation. He offers no new or at least no daring discovery, but at great expense furnished by a company a machine has been constructed with rare skill that -dfiizes the best known methods, % znd the result is machine that can be guided and controlled as readily as a ship at sea can be- It goes against the wind; 1t rises or falls; it responds readily and quick ly to the will of the navigator, and it is brought to earth again as softly as sea gull alights on the water.
 Briefly speaking its features are these;
 l. It is built chiefly of aluminium, making it far lighter than any airship ever before built.
 ,. Its clgar-shaped framework is divided dnto seventeen compartments, each of them Independent of the other thus reproducing the separate air-tight compartment feature of the ocean liners.
 It's seventeen separate balloons are made of a new material called ''ballonin,'' capable of retaining charge of hydrogen gas for five weeks without sensible loss.
 | It has four screws or propellers, worked by Damlor motors, to drive 1t, against the wind just as a steamship is driven through the sea.
 5. It has four rudders, one forward and one aft working on vertical axles, to steer it exactly as ships are steered on the ocean.
 The old dying century is endeavoring to the last to rob the new century of great opportunities. If Zeppelin has solved the problem of aerial navigation or even laid the foundation for a solution, the best chance of the new century is taken away. But the glorious new century has after all enough to do on ethical and huma nitarian lines, and it can afford to ignore the me- chanieal and utilitarian
