A NEW AIRsHIP.


An Italian Will Attempt to Fly Over
the Adriatic Sea-New Prestige for
i France-old World Notes.
\ London, Nov 1S.--The Italian Coun,
4 Amerigo di Schil, who was incorrectly
iannounced as preapraing for an aerial
trip from Venice to Rome, claims to
! have invented machine for aerial nav
ligation which is already assured of
commercial success, and a strong syn
! dictate has put up money to finance it.
The count is now in Venice. and pro-
poses to fly from there over the Adrlatic
/ to Trieste in about months time. The
| trial has been successful, according to
yet been publicly displayed, and good
deal about it has to be taken on trust.
| All that appears certain is that the
count has devised twelve horse power
electrical motor made of aluminium.
| that the car will hold three persons, that

| been constructed without much in the
way of novelty, and that it has para
chute attachments and. If it should fall
into the sea, will float like boat. But
the count has prudently arranged to be
accompanied by a steamer on the sea.
The settlement of the Franco Turkish
dispute came with unexpected prompt
ness. The reason for Its suddenneas
most likely may be sought in the action
of other powers, especially of the triple
alliance.
The French foreign minister. Delcasse,
has scored distinct triumph. but at the
same time he has gone back on the def
mite declaration Of France to accept
nothing less than satisfactory guaran-
tees that the sultan would grant her de-
mands before she would leave Mitylene.
for the sultans promises can not rea-
sonably be regarded as the most salts
factory kind of guarantees
Admiral Caillard, however, is still
with his squadron in Turkish waters.
The powers, there is good reason for
sta ting, have secured from Delcasse
binding pledges, to abandon the reten-
ton of material guarantee from Tur-
key and to withdraw Caillard as soon as
the porte has publicly promised to con-
cede all the French demands.
AT the same time the powers under
took to bring every pressure to bear up
on the sultan who, finding himself
abandoned by everybody and unable to
trust Germany any more than Russia or
Great Britain. was forced to yield.
The result of all this will undoubtedly
be TO reduce Germapy's influence at
which for some time has
been predominant. and to exalt French
influence, which has been practically
nil. thus restoring more or less the old
position in Turkey as regards external
affairs.
For France the result is distinctly
beneficial 1t will remove one of the
weakest points in the republic IN the
eyes of Frenchmen-viz: the lack of
external repute and prestige in Europe.
Thus the present government and the
republican party have been greatly
strengthened for the coming election.
An infiuentially supported petition
has recently been presented to the COM
mittee of the stock exchange praying
for the establishment and mainten-
ance of a black book to serve as rec
ord of the names of individuals who
have victimized brokers by not full
filling their engagements.
The suggestion was simply to have |
the name and address of the defaulter
recorded in book kept in the secre-
tary's office together with the name of |
the member or firm lodging the COM I
plant.
1t was hoped that the committee
would regard this absence of details as
sufficient protection against the law
of libel. The committees legal advis-
ers. however, have rendered an opin-
ion that the proposition is fraught with
danger to them collectively and indi-
yidually. Therefore no steps in the
desired direction are possible.
,rhe cult of the Christian Scientists
s spreading so comparatively rapidly
= the eastern counties of England that
the Dean of Norwich has found II
necessary to announce publicly that he
intends soon to address himself in
spirit to the whole sub
ect. Lord Dunmore. who married the
daughter of the Earl of Leicester, is the
ord Lieutenant of Norfolk. which
will influence socially the
spread of the cult in that county.
Anarchists are grieved to learn of the
ieath of one, greatly loved and adj
nired. The deceased was Alessandrlo
Angiolillio, brother of Senior Canovas
and himself a most promis-
ng criminal and chief of the band OF

ng in the District of Foggia. Alessan-
Trio had wronged Costanza Nicola, and
