TO FLY TO NEW YORK.
Aeronaut Gustave Whitehead. ~ Con.
necticut, Encouraged by His
Recent Success,

Gustave Whitehead, the inventor of
the flying machine, OF Bridgeport,
Conn.,. who recently flew half mile
successfully, is now engaged in con-
structing new machine, in which he
proposes to fly to New York. he said
the other day: "My success in flying
with the first model, which IL rough
and cumbersome, has induced me to
build another machine, which will be
larger and strong enough to carry two
men. I shall fly to New York on nv
next trial. am confident that I can
fly that distance with my new machine.
l will then have my new acetylene-
chemical pressure generator ready. I
can carry enough calcium carbide,
which is the fuel used, to fly for 20
hours. That is more than enough to
fly to New York with. My present ma
chine ON going to tnikc to Atlantic
City to exhibit. and shall demonstrate
Its practicability there as being able to
carry man."
Inventor Whitehead has received
scores Of letters since the articles on
his successful fight were published
from scientific men in all parts of the
country asking all sorts of questions
and for descriptions of the machine.
He has two expert machinists now
working on the new machine and
money will not be spared in making it
the acme OF lightness and strength.

U. s. AGAINST THE WORLD.
Prof. suess, Eminent PubIicist ana
PaleontoloEist, Discusses Our In.
dustrtal Preponderance.

Prof. Edward suess, the eminent
publicist and palaeontologist, has
given an interview respecting the in
dustrial and political preponderance
OF the United States that attracts
much attention, especially as it con-
firms the anti-American views Of con-
tinentsl manufacturers and econo-
mists.
The professor, surveying intsrna-
tional relations from the standpoint
OF political philosopher, observes
that while the French revolution was
pccasioned by the abuses Of the privi-
legged classes the present situation has
been caused by revolution of material
conditions. The declining national
sentiment should be replaced by q
movement for the common defense of
the central European states against
the American trusts which are moving
to conquer the foreign markets more
surely than they could be conquered
by battlsships. The American balance
OF trade has reached an unparalleled
figure. It wss serious question II the
RolltACol OLl1b8 Oh CeuLr0l tu-
rope were strong enough to make an
effective defense, taking into account
the physical conditions. The present
shifting Of the center OF gravity of the
worlds forces would create three
great units-China, Russia and Amer
lea. When China was equipped with
railroads the people would find that
she had the most capable merchants
and the cheapest labor. Russia would
have the largest army and be the great
est peasant state. European capital
would how to the United States and
would be an important increase of
her economic prosperity. OF the three
the United States had decidedly the
lead. Its policy was commercial ag-
erosion, beyond doubt, and states like
the American union and Russia had
gained far more in the way of the mo-
bilizatdon Of their powers from the
construction Of railroads than such
countries as Germany and France.

NEW ELECTRIC SYSTEM.
Test Of Railroad In Italy ON Which
Speed of Forty-Five Miles an
Hour IL Attained,

The first test Of new system OF
electric traction is reported in the
Electrical Review as having surpassed
the expectations of the installing en-
gineers. This is the system that re-
Gently attracted SO much attention in
London. on account of its low bid for
the electric traction work in that city.
A correspondent In Italy, where the
installation has just been completed,
says that speed Of As miles an hour
was secured without any serious jar
ring, and that trains of five cars were
easily transported at this speed even
on decided grades. The dynamos work
perfectly at $1,000 volts on line 81
miles in length. The engineers are par
ticularly we'll pleased with the be-
havior of the electric automatic an.

This new method of electric traction
Is what is known as the high-tension

these tests have been awaited with
much interest by electric railway in

MUST OBEY THE Law OF THE
LAND.
AND HEATHER
Alike Must Keep the Peace OF
Be Dealt with By Mag
istrates.

Washington, Aug. 31The state de-
partment has received a copy of a re-
markable proclamation by Governor
Yuan, of Shan Tung, on June Z, de-
fining the relations that must exist
between the magistrates and the
Christian natives. The proclamation
deals with the subject so engerticly
as to make it evident that the Chinese
magistrates will not alloy the mis-.
sionaries to exercise the same in
f1uence as heretofore in local affairs,
or in any other than religious matters
in the future.
Governor Yuan states he has receiv-
ed many reports from Chinese ofi1c-
ials that unworthy members Of the
Christian Chinese were practicing
their religion simply for the protec.
ton which is afforded them, and were
lightly setting aside the law of the
land and seeking occasion for quar-
rels and that such affairs were daily
increasing in numbers.
In reply to appeals to have the for
| eign consuls and missionaries devise
a method for checking the trouble,
Governor Yuan demands to know why
his sub-oficials have not obeyed HIS
previous instructions requiring them
to administer exact justice without
regard to whether the offenders were
Christians or not. He points out that
"the missionaries are merely preach
ers of religion. They have no author
ity whatever to interfere in the at
fairs of the Chinese people, or any
power to exercise official functions,
as everybody ought to know" There
fore the governor enjoins his mag
istrates to make no distinction be-.
tween church and other people and
let no one else presume to exercise
his authority for controlling the peo-
pie. Says he:
sThe most important matter is
that justice should be done to both
sides. 1t makes no difference whether
the people annoy the Christians OF
the Christians annoy the people, let
there be a clear distinction made be-
tween lue CIOOheu anu tAc 81
and it will then be impossible that
any occasion for interference should
arise"
He concludes that should the PEG
pie insult the Christians because they
practice their religion the officials
must suppress the disturbance, while
on the other hand should q member OF
the church drag in his religion, when
his suit is M that has nothing to
do with church matters and the mis-
sionary force himself into the case
then the magistrate should not hes
itate to controvert and reprove as
the facts of the s. may Justify anc
deal with the case according to righ1
to all.

BILLS OF LApING INDISPENSABLE
Decision Of Internal Revenue Com
missioner. -.

Washington, Aug. 3-Commissioner
Yerkes of the internal revenue bureau
has received a letter from a grain
company in the northwest asking
whether the memoranda of sales OF
farmers products on an exchange or
board Of trade are exempt from tax
by the amendment to paragraph two
of schedule A, of the ameded war
e act of March 2, 1901. In re:
ply the commissioner rules that grain
sold on a board of trade or exchange
'to arrive" may be exempt from tax
if at the time of sale the grain is on a
vessel, boat or car and in actual
course of transportation, but If the
sale is made before the grain has
been shipped, OF if the grain has ar.
rived at it's destination, the eNemp
ton does not apply. In order to de
termine the fact whether merchandise
sold is actually in course of trans
portation at the time of sale, a bill
of lading is indispensable. In case
a bill of lading cannot eb convenient
a bill of lading cannot be convientll
ly furnished to accompany the memo
randum of sale, a certified copy may

WINS BY SMALL
MARGIN.
STIFF SOUTHWEST WIND

Newport, Aug. 3-The Independ-
ence today sailed the greatest race of
her career. In a stiff southeaster
which raised a rather heavy sea, she
was beaten 40 seconds over a triangu
lar course of 80 miles boat for boat
Columbia 81 seconds over that dis
lance, she was defeated one minute
and II seconds, corrected time. This
is a better showing than Constitution
made against Columbia under similar
conditions Of wind and weather.
In the first leg of the triangle which
was a beat to windWard Columbia
gained more that three minutes. No
official time was taken at either first
or second mark, so these figures are
only approximately correct. Regatta
committee estimate that on the sec
ond leg of the course which was a
broad reach with wind abaft star
board beam the Independence gained
one minute and Is seconds OF her
opponent while on last leg of the
course which was sailed with wind on
port beam she gained 35 seconds.
The last leg was the most exciting.
The breeze was puffy and at times
had great weight in it. Being abaft
of beam, the yachts felt it's full
strength. Sometimes the lee rail of
the Independence was completely sub
merged and the water on the deck
rushed off in a torrent over the taft,
rail. Never before had she heeled TIC
such a pronounced extent in a public
performance. It was noticed that
when squalls were heaviest the In:
dependence steered very wild and
that two men at the wheel could not
keep her steady on her course. The
