A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
BETWEEN THE COMMITTEE AND
THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.
The Aeronaut Protested Against tho

PARIS, October 19.--The Santos Du-

2:3S o'clock this afternoon. and five
minutes afterwards began to round the
Eifel tower.
Santos Dumont started for the first

his guide rope caught in tree and he
was obliged to descend. He started
again at PAP D. m, rose $50 yards and

broad sweep over the Aero club
grounds, with the result that another
minute and twenty five seconds were
consumed before tae workmen seized
the guide rope. Thus technically, San

40 seconds.
The enormous crowd which had
gathered inside and outside the
grounds gave the aeronaut tremend-

A number OF ladies who were present
threw flowers over the aeronaut. others
offered him bouquets, and one admiref.

even presented him with little white
rabbit.
At this moment NJ. Deutseh himself
arrived at the club grounds. having only
shortly before that moment reached
Paris from Biarritz. He advanced, en-

with him and said:

BROUGHT CONTEMPLATION.

LONDON. Oct. f9.-Lord Roseberry's
speech at Birmingham October Is on
the Sin of National self complacency"
has ELECTED many concentrations in
the serious weeklies. One of the most
interesting of these is the appeal of a
would-be patentee for revision of the
British patent laws. He declares that
the British authorities issue a dozen
so-cGlled patents for practically the
same invention and then leave all the
applicants to fight out their rights in
the courts.
Let our government" he says. "give
US American patent laws. Let us en-
courage inventors to stay at home. We
need all the brains we can get hold of.
let not America drain away too much
of our best.
The Outlook, commenting on the
above, says:
England thus complacently allows
the United States by superior patent
laws to drain away inventive skill so
much needed in England"

HALL GAME,
The Well Known Author. Is Going
Into Politics.

The We'll known AuthOr. - Going
Into Politics.
LONDON. October 19.-Hall Game
has consented to become a candidate
for the Manx Parliament in behalf of
the town of Ramsey. His opponent is
a local lawyer Mr.. Gaines address
has created CONSERVATION even among
his own supporters, for he advocates
sweeping changes that might well be
planks in a national platform OF some
great reform party. First of all Mr..
Game wants to nationalize the steam
ship service connecting the Isle of Man
with England, running it without
profit.
Then he applies himself to the Manx
steam and street railroads, and would
furnish the same radical system to
them. \ Land must be treated in a
somewhat similar manner. the Manx
parliament controlling the drainage.
cultivation and tree planting. The
banks. of course, are includedi in this
naturalization scheme, by which Mr..
Game believes that such financial
scandals as occurred in the Isle OF
Man last year would be avoided.
Mr.. Game justifies these apparently
improbable national undertakings by
pointing out that the primary factor
in Manx prosperity is the islands popu-
larty as a holiday resort, and that II
must prosper or decline as It meets the
needs of the visitors.
With a parting reference for the ne
cessity of a reform OF the system OF
representation and Kidding the legal
system of its anachronistic superfiuities,
tTae author commits himself and his
programme into the hands OF the intel
ligent citizens of Ramsay.
