PROF. LANGLEY ON AIRSHIPS.
Why He Thinks Zeppelin Has Not

NEW YORK. Oct. 2i.-Prof. Langley. of

rived here this morning. Prof. Langley
went abroad some months ago en- a va
cation, and while there transacted some
business with institutions looking toward
an exchange of specimens with the Smith
SOnian.
When asked his opinion CT the Zeppelin
airships trial at Lake Constance. he said:
while on the other side took some
interest in the movements Of airships,
but / did not see, nor do | intend to see.
the Zeppelin airship. l heard in France
that the trial was only partially sIccess-
full. Zeppelins airship is not an air
ship, hut dirisible balloon; and even If
the trials are entirely successful, it will
not solve the problem of air navigation.
as his machine is intended for observa-
tions. and not for passengers.
MY own experience is that an airship
must be one lifted by machinery. and not
by gas. l understand however, that since
I left the other side there has been
more satisfactory trial of Zeppelin's ship.
l will read about this trial later.

Maxim the inventor, and / suppose that
he is continuing his experiments with the

the final solution will come by the dirig-

CLARA BARTON SERIOUSLY Ill.
Prostrnted by the Eject of Her
Work In Galveston.

Work In Galveston.
GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. 24.-Clara Bar
ton is dangerously i'll at her apartments
at the fremont Hotel. Ever since her
arrival in the city about six weeks ago.
she has been compelled to remain in
doors. or late her illness has assumed
a serious phase. A trained nurse from
Washington City, one who has attended
her in previous sickness. has arrived here
and is ministering to her wants. Prior to
the nurses arrival it was with difficulty
that Miss Barton was induced to partake
even lightly of nourishment.
In the past two days there has been a
change in Miss Barton's condition for the
worse. She is daily growing weaker and
alarming symptoms have developed. To-
night it is given out that she is danger
ously i'll. Miss Barton's trip to Galveston
was attended by severe hardships. Upon
her arrival she broke down under Sc
we're nervous strain, but rallied few
days later and until her recent illness
worked energetically in the interests of
the flood sufferers. Through advice and
personal efforts she has done much for the
destitute of Galveston By her efforts
number of the homeless have found places
OF shelter and up to the time of her Illness
she was actively engaged in the work OF
establishing permanent homes for the
homeless.
Attending physicians say her illness is
the result of overwork. Nervous prostra-
tiOn is the diagnosis. Other Red Cross
people engaged with Miss Barton here are
alarmed at her condition. Tonight she is
growing weaker. and no c"s ts allowed
in the room except the nurse and attend
ing physician.

TROUBLE FOR MIR. STOWE.
The Consul General Beset by Needy
Citizens mt Cape Town.


The Department of State is in receipt
OF another despatch. No. 2S9 of Septem-
Der &c, 1900. from Mr.. Stowe, Consul Gen.
eral Of this Government at Cape Town,
South Africa, in which he refers to the
recent arrival there Of American citizens
who shipped on board of British trans
ports in charge of mules and horses from
New Orleans. Mr.. Stowe remarks that
through his Instructions to the consular
and Durham, many of these citiz ms who
reshipped to the United States. but he
adds: Ships still continue to arrive. and
I am still burdened with this extra duty.
All, or nearly all, need money. VIII CHI I
am unable to give ea<ssE ~sSst.
In many instances these persons are
under the impression that the Consul
General is required under the law to send
them back to the United States. and they
endeavor 10 make trouble for Mr.. Stowe
and his agents when Informed that there
are no funds from which to give them
relief or pay their return passage to he
United States. Mr.. Stowe accordingly
hopes that some action will be tax n
this country to the end that Americans
who may ship on board of transports for
South Africa as nlUleteers will b. madB
to understand that they must net expect
the consular representatives of the
United States to assist them en- arrival
by providing them with money. Under
the law only distressed American SEA uen
can be given relief to the extent tf their
transportation back to the United s ates.

THE NEW CUP DEFENDER.
Some RumOrs Regarding the Con.
struction of the Yacht.

NEW YORK. Oct. 24.-The new yacht
for the defence of the Americas Cup VIII
be built by syndicate composed Of yachts
men belonging to the New York Yacht
Club. For several days there have been
rumors to this effect in yachting circles
and now it is generally regarded as true.
1t is probable that a formal announcement
will be made to the members Of the club
at the meeting which is to be held tomor-
row evening.
Commodore Lewis Cass Ledyard is to be
the head Of the syndicate and with MN
will be associated Vice Commodore August
Belmont, Rear Commodore C. F. L. Rob-
inson. Cornelius Vanderbilt. John p. Dun
can, ex-Commodore E. NJ. Brown, and
few other well-known yachtsmen. All the
details of the syndicate are not yet ar
ranged. but it is understood that the MEM
bers want C. Butler Duncan. jr.. to have
charge of the boat and are trying to in
duce him to accept the responsibility.
Since the challenge was received there
have been various rumors about the de-
fence of the cup. and several yachtsmen
of prominence have been mentioned as
probable builders. 1t is possible that one
of these men may announce at the meet
ing tnat ne Is Wiling 10 DuIiu anu Ill tudl
event the syndicate may be abandoned.
but the members of the challenge commit
tee are prepared now to go ahead with their
plans to have boat built to meet the
Shamrock II.
When the Columbia was built last year
Harry Payne Whitney and Herman B
Duryea wanted to have a defender. but
they were induced to step aside and Com
modore J. Pierpont Morgan furnished the
necessary funds and c. Oliver Iselin man
aged the boat.
Messrs. Whitney and Duryea have de-
clined to discuss the matter of now car
rying out their project. and IL they intend
building yacht they are keeping 1t well
guarded.
About the Columbia nothing is known
yet. 1t is thought probable that ex-Com-
modore Morgan will put her in commits
sion for use as trial boat, and to defend
the cup il she can defeat the new boat.
She will probably be sailed by c. Oliver
ISelin.

The indecency of this sort of thing lies
largely in the fact that the people behind

White House the favors and patronage

previous experience with the same kind
of cattle. For example, when the ''scund
business and sound money" element in
Washington gees to him and demands the
control over District affairs and inter-
ests. that a small and rather pi iable
combination has exerted for years, we do
not fancy that it will get much comfort.
Unless all the signs are wrong. the next
National Administration will, in l-cal as
well as in national affairs, give some
weight to the personal integrity of is
agents. and to the interests Of the people.

Awarded Heavy Damages In His Suit
for Lfbe;.

PARIS, Oct. 24.-Judgment was given
today in the long-standing libel action of
Colonel Picquart, who was 50 prominently
identified with the Dreyfus case, against
the Journal" Paris newspaper. The
manager of the Journal was fined 1000
francs. NM. Possien and CALI, the
authors of the libelous articles, were
sentenced to six months and months
Imprisonment, respectively. The defend
ants were further jointly condemned to
pay 10000 francs damages and to pay for
the insertion of the judgment in sixty
newspapers.
Maitre Labori, who was Dreyfus' princi-
pal counsel and who was shot during the
court-martial proceedings at Rennes, rep
resented Colonel Picquart. The main libel
was an assertion that Colonel P.cquart
went to Carlsruhe and interviewed Colonel
Schwartzkoppen, formerly military at

70 HAVE REGULAR RAT1oNs.
Marines mt Cnvite Need Worry No
More About Food.


After a good deal of red tape. arrange
ments have been made whereby the Ma
rine Corps on shore duty at Cavite will
again be supplied regularly with rations.
The situation was getting to be serious
one for the marines. since the peculiar
character of the laws made it almost I'M
possible to get food supplies.
The trouble started because of differ
ence between the rltions supplied the
army and those supplied the navy. When
on shore duty the marines may receive
army rations and army rations alone.
When at sea they fare as do the sailors.
The marines at Cayite had been continuing
to receive naval rations, or communication
therefor. but the Auditor of the Navy De-
partment recently decided that this ar
rangement was illegal.
1t was impracticable for the marines to
obtain the army ration from the commits
sary branch in the Philippines. AT the
same time it was found impossible to de-
pend on getting food supplies from Fill
pinos. Ii is declared that the native deal
ers do not appreciate the force of agree
ments and contracts. They will promise.
say the marine officials. 10 undertake al
most anything. but they cannot be de-
pended upon to carry out their agreements.
Thus the marines were in a sad plight.
They could not get food from the commits
sary department of the army; they could
not depend upon buying it from the ma
tives. and 1t was not legal for them to
take it from the navy. There has been a
deal of official correspondence among off,
cals trying to find way out of the diff
Guilty.
Acting Comptroller Mitchell of the
Treasury Department has settled the mat
ter. He holds that the marines can buy
from the naval stores the bulk of their
supplies. such as beef. sugar. beans, and
coffee. and that they can supplement this
by purchasing fresh vegetables and bread
from Filipino dealers

The reception given Mr. Bryan last night was
the most magnificent popular demonstration ever
witnessed in this city. The rain could not chill
the enthusiasm OF the immense multitude which
waited patiently for hours in the vicinity OF the
depot TO welcome him and which crowded Music
Hall and the vicinity to hear his addresses.
There can be no mistIking the meaning of such
a popular outpouring that of last night. |:
means that the people of this city are with and
for the cause which Mr.. Bryan represents. and
that the popular heart stil responds with en-
thusiasm to appeals TO its patriotism and its
love Of liberty. II means that the people un-
derstand the true Issues of this campaign and
not deceived By the shallow sophistry OF
seltsh interests. 1t means that they do not
gard Mr.. Bryan a. a demagosue or dreamer,
but honest and earnest patriot, who is
fighting for the Of popular government
against dangers which threaten its existence. 1t
means that they recognize this is a struggle De-
tween greed and gold side and popular
rights and free institutions the other. 1t
means last but not least, that Maryland will
cast its electoral vote for Mr.. Bryan.

THE rAcUA-AR1cA DISPUTE
This Government Will Take No Part

The State Department officials ycster-
day notified the Ministers from Bolivia,
Peru, and Chile that the United
States Government would not inter-
fere in the TacuaArica dispute in
which the three republics are at present
involved. The presentation OF the new
Bolivian Minister on Tuesday gave rise to
the rumor that the United States was ex-
pected to intervene in the matter and
this was strengthened by the re-estab-
lishment OF the Peruvian legation short
time ago.
Bolivia and Peru are united against
Chile in the matter which concerns dis
puted territory. Claims have been filed
with this Government. but these will not
he acted upon. In replying to the Minis
tiers from the South American republics
this Government states thar"ehe United
States is not the policeman of the West
ern Hemisphere and has no right to in
terfere in a dispute between three South
American countries and the latter must
decide the matter among themselves.

.. Ten Years.
The population of California in 1909 as
announced By the Census Bureau yester-
day is 1.4S5.lo3 as against 1,2GS. 1870 in 1890.
representing an increase since 1880 of
216,923. or 2a.9 per cent A small portion
OF this Increase is due to the fact that
there were 5.107 Indians and lei other
persons, or a total of 5,26S persons on
Indian reservations. ETC., in California
who were specially enumerated in 1880
under the provisions of the census act.
but were not included in the general popu-
lation of the State at that census. The
population of California in 1900 is more
than sixteen times as large as that given
for 1850, the first census in which the
population OF the State appears.
The total land surface of California is,
approximately, 155.9S0 square miles. the
| average number of persons to the square
mile at the censuses of 1890 and 1900 IS
follows: 1890, IL per cent; 1900. ?.5 per
cent. OF the 81 counties in the State all
but II have increased in population dur
ing the decade, the counties showing more
than so per cent of increase being Tuo-
lumne. S3.5 per cent; Kern. 6S per cent.
and Los Angeles. SIS per cent. Los An
geles County shows the largest numerical
increase (6S.S4D but more than three
fourths of this increase is due to the in
crease in the population OF the city of
Los Angeles.
The eleven counties showing decrease
in population are Alphine. Butte, Colusa.
Del Ncrte Eldorado. Lake, Plumas, Sierra.
Stanislaus, Tulare, and Yuba. OF the 116
incorporated cities and towns there are
as that have population in 1900 OF more

ton of over 5000, 10 have population
of over 10000, and have population OF
over $4,000, namely, San Francisco, with
342. 1872: Los Angeles. with 1O2.479; Oak
land, with $1,000, and Sacramento. with
29,2S2 inhabitants.
The population of San Francisco be-
ginning with 56,s02 in 1860, increased to
149, 472 in 1870, or 1881 per cent. For the
three succeeding decades there has been
a normal increase, and the present popu-
lation is 342,7S2. or more than six times
what 1t was in 1860. The population of
Sacramento increased from $500 in 1891
to 1875 in 1860, or 1921 per cent, and
at the present Is over four times as great
as it was in 1850. The population OF OAK
land, starting with only LAB in 1860, IN
creased to 10, 500 in 1870, or 1904 per cent,
and to 1855 in 1880. or 229 per cent; 1t
now has a population of $3.50. or more
than forty-three times as many inhabi-
tants as it had in 1860. The population
of Los Angeles was 1,610 in 1850: in 1851
it was II. 1888. but during the decade from
1880 to 1890 it increased to 5000. or S5V6

to 1900, to 1O2. 479 or 1898 per cent.
