EXPERIMENT NOT A SUCCESS.
hut the Brazilian Appears to Have
Remarkable Balloon.

Paris, July 13.-(M. Santos-Dumont, the
Brazilian aeronaut, made the official
trial Of his balloon in the attempt to
win the prize of 100000 francs offered by
Henry Deutsch for manageable balloon,
before committee of the Aero Club tc-
day. Starting from the Pare de Meu-
don, he reached the Eiffel in quarter Of
an hour. and after sailing around the
tower, started to return to the Pare de
Meudon, but lack of motive power ne
cessitated a descent at Boulogne-sur-
Seine. The trial will be resumed later.
The condition for the winning of the
prize is that the trip from St. Cloud to
the Eiffel Tower and back must be made
in half an hour. Santos Dumont started
at 1850 a. m. He reached the Eiffel Tow
er in fifteen minutes, turned around 1t
and had begun his return trip, when the
motor failed and the aeronaut ripped the
silk of his balloon, fearing disaster un-
less he could quickly reach the ground.
The balloon pitched forward, head fore
most. into a ciump of trees on the Roths-
child estate, near Boulogne. where it was
caught and suspended in the branches on
the opposite side of the Seine, from the
starting point The aeronaut was not
hurt.
A number of spectators had congregated
on the platform of the Eiffel Tower to
watch the trial. They cheered the bal
loonist as he rounded the tower.

ASTORY OF THE GULF
HORRIBLE SUFFERING OF SHIP.
WRECKED SAILORS.
CAPT. WATTS TELLS THE TALE
UP TO THEIR NECxs IN WATER,
BUT NONE TO DRINK.

Their Brig Battered to Pieces by n
Gulf Storm on sunday and the Life
Boat Lost-The Crew Chung to the
After House, Upon which They
FIOnted for Three Days, Half sub
merged Without Food or Water
and Followed by GIoating Sharks,
Their Clothes Lashed on by the
Waves and Their Naked Bodies
Exposed to the sun.
Tampa, Fla, July 13.--Capt. c. r. Watts
of the Inflated brig l.. f. Munson, Mo-
biel to Sagua lie Grande. is in the city
en- route to Mobile. He himself is a
physical wreck and tells a most thrilling
story of the wreck of his vessel. The
suffering of Capt Watts and his men is
something which is almost too horrible
to put into words. Wrecked upon a little
raft, without food or water under
blistering sun for three days. followed by
huge, coating sharks, seeing vessels pass
within hailing distance and then fade
into distance. was almost too much for
human beings to stand, he says.
The men, beaten and battered by the
wreckage, lay more dead than alive upon
the raft and many of them with wounds,
which had begun to mortify when they
were rescued.
Sunday while about two hundred miles
west of Tortugas, the vessel was literally
battered to pieces In a storm. Almost in
an instant all on board realized that the
vessel was sinking. The life boat had
been made ready, and provisioned for sew
eral days. All hands rushed to lower II.
and in their haste the boat was over
turned and rendered useless to them.
They but had time to climb upon the aft
er house when the vessel sank, and left
them twisting in the eddy of the water
where the vessel had been.
For three days the crew. lashed to the
top of the after-house, were upon the
tossing waters of the gulf, the improvised
raft upon which they sat being, covered a
foot or more with water, and keeping
that distance all the time. Thus for three
days their bodies were under the water,
| The lashing waves soon tore the clothing
| from the men and their naked bodies
were exposed to the tropical sun.
Vessels Passed Them by. r-
"rhey saw four vessels loom into view,
| and then disappear. When the nights
| came on, chilling winds made the men
| shiver and suffer, to be followed by the
| blistering heat of a tropical sun the next
day. With dry and parched lips and
throats they suffered only such agonies
as can be experienced but not described.
Monster sharks followed in their wake
and occasionally one more venturesome
than the rest would come and place his
snout against the little raft. These harb-
ingers of death were always with the un-
happy and helpless crew.
Beaten and battered in a storm of
few days before, three men were wounded.
They could do nothing for themselves ami
modification set III soon, and added to the
horror of their situation"
Capt. Watts says he does not believe
his men will recover from their terrible
exposure, as when he left them at Key
West they were in horrible shape.

READING STRIKE IS OVER.
Men Get Higher wages, But the
Union Not Recognized.

Reading Pa, July 13.-The strike of the
200 employees of the Reading Iron Com
pany, including the tube works, the Ninth
street and the Obey street mills, and the
sheet mill is ended after having lasted
ten weeks, since May 6. The men met this
afternoon when the proposition of Vice
President Smink was submitted to them
and 1t was unanimously decided TO accept
the offer. The men cheered as the motion
was passed ending the long strike and
giving them higher wages. They will now
return to work next week. as soon as
the various departments can be put into
readiness to resume operations The re-
sumption OF work at the plants in this
city will enable the Blandon and the Sey-
fert rolling mills to resume. They were
compelled to stop work shortly after the
strike began, as they are dependent on
the Reading Iron Works for their pro
duct.
The new scale of wages will be the same
as that paid by the company in August,
1899. which was the boom" period of iron
prices.
The men will go back TO work ON Mon
day In all departments which are able to
resume. The union is not recognized the
company reserving the right TO employ
any men, whether union or non-union. but
all OF the strikers will be taken back and
none will be Disseminated against.

of the United States Steel Corporation in
operation. 1t would include the mills Of
the Federal Steel Company, the mills of
the National Steel Company; the Nation
a Tube Company and wherever there
were organized men employed in nom
union plants of the first mentioned com
panies. He could not give the total num-
Der of men that would be idle, but esti-
mated them from the reports from the
other general officers of the organization
at least 10000. 1t was his intention to
nave the strike as general as possible at
the earliest possible moment so as to
force a settlement of the dispute the
quickest.
President Shaffer says a week will be
required to reach all the men that are
to be ordered out, and it will only be then
that 1t would be possible to tell how
effective the strike would be, and how
complete its effect on the business of the
country. As soon as the mills shut down
the shipment of raw material, of coal and
coke, the products of various plants will
cease, it is said. The depression in this
respect is looked upon as threatening
more serious results than the simple
closing of the mills of the United States
Steel Corporation

THE VESTS AWFUL DROUGHT.
Vegetation Burning Up-Air Too SUI
perheated for Rain-COrn Crop
Ruined and StOckmen in a bad
Fix.


Kansas City, Mo-, July 13.-Despite local
thunderstorms, accompanied by slight
rainfall in Western Missouri last night,
the drought that is burning up vegetation
in Missouri Kansas, Oklahoma and In.
dian Territory is still unbroken. The
Kansas City weather observer says:
THE atmosphere is so uniformly heated
to such a great altitude that it makes
precipitation almost impossible. Clouds
may gather and a few drops of rain may
fall. but the lower stratum of air is SO
hot that the rain drops would be trans
formed to vapor in passing through it,"
There is no relief in sight and the sit
uation becomes worse each hour. Several
days ago one-fourth of corn crop in
Kansas was hoped for. The estimate
now must be still further reduced.
Prayer for rain will be offered in
scores of churches in Missouri and
Kansas tomorrow.
The Kansas City live stock market Is
victim to the sun. Many feeders are
holding back in hope that the rain may
succor them. Each day brings them
nearer to the inevitable and commits
sion men are flooded with letters indi-
eating that next week is the longest they
can hold out.
