ANGLO-GERMAN
AGREEMENT SUITS

Washington. Oct 23.-It was authori-
tatively stated last night that the Unit
ed States government views with dis
tinct favor the principles enunciated
in the Anglo German agreement relat-
ing to China, and that formal re-
sponse TO that effect will be made at an
early day to the Invitation extended to
this government to accept the prin-
ciples of the agreement.
Berlin. Oct. 23-The Post contains a
semi-ofiicial communication to the ef-
feet that the powers have decided to
communicate to LII Hung Chang the
general lines OF their claims on China.
This will take place either by Identical
notes or by a collective note. The
powers insist on the punishment of
criminals as laid down in the German
circular note.
The Tageblatt learns that the Anglo
German agreement is the result of ne
gotiations which took place long before
the present conflict in China. 1t is a
kind of payment on account for Ger
man neutrality toward South Africa.
The further payment on account Is
represented by an agreement regarding
another part of the world. All this
is the result of the kaiser's visit to
Windsor some months ago.

T. New York, Oct. 23.--Count Won Yep

1t has been proved that it was abso-
lutely under the control of the steering
apparatus. This apparatus however
was not In most perfect order on the
first ascent. One OF the two rudders
below the machine at the stern would
not work freely. Thus. instead Of NOV
ing parallel with each other, the rud'
ders frequently formed an angle. This
defect hampered Count Won Zeppelin
very much, indeed.
Opinion in general is somewhat I'M
settled. The decisive trial has not ye,
been made. for the machine is still In
an experimental stage, though an un'
doubted step toward the achievement
of aerial flight has been made. A for.
mer nautical engineer OF Geneva, who
is watching the trials, expressed him
self as being dubious of the machines
ultimate success.
THE prime condition of n navigable
