Vienna, Dec. 27.-The New York
Journal correspondent has seen the
Kress flying machine. The model work
flew about the room guided by rud-
der. If fuii-sized ship works like
the model, success is assured.
Kress devised the boat twenty years
ago and made experiments with con-
siderable success. lie has since added
many improvements and now the ma
chine is complete except for the costly
motor which the Emperor's gift will
enable him to obtain. The trial of the
complete machine will be made in the
spring.
Kress calls his apparatus the Drag
on Filler" 1t is not a balloon like Yep
pelin's but works with wings; its base
is something like boat and has
two parallel floats of aluminium fixed
on sledges so that it can run on water,
ice, snow or grass.
The machinery is set in motion by n
benzine motor weighing 200 Kilograms
and of twenty horsepower This
starts two air screws in motion and
four large dragon wings begin to work.
AS the motion of the wings increases
the boat moves along the water or
snow, gradually lifting itself until 1t
clears the earth. and moves in mid-air,
steered by rudder.

Baltimore Bank Closed.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. 27.-Roger II.
Gill was to-day appointed receiver for
the Old Town Bank by consent of the
president and officers of the bank. Mr..
GIL was bonded in the sum og 1,5OO,-
600. the assets of the institution being
valued at half that amount.
George Schilling, n stakeholder and
depositor, and Robert l.. Gill, n deposi-
tor, We're the complainants. In their
statement to the court they say:
while the bank until recent per-
iod has done successful and profit
able business, 1t has recently incurred
heavy losses by the bad faith of its
cashier, Theodore Il. Wilcox, in that,
without authority, he wrongfully, with
out the knowledge of its president or
board of directors, permitted Isaac
Robinson and the United Milk Produc-
ers Association to draw from the bank
large sums of money, and incurred
losses thereby which the bank is un-
able to bear.
"Rumors affecting the financial con-
dition of the bank are in circulation.
in consequence of which large sums
of money have been withdrawn by de-
positors. and it is question of but 4
short time when the bank will be COM
PEELED to close its doors. The bank is
unable to pny its liabilities in the usual
course of business, and unless re-
ceiver is appointed 1t will result in a
struggle to keep the doors OF the bank
open and depositors will suffer loss"

more men We're recruited in New York
to take places of strikers of the Scran-
ton Railway company tonight, but be-
fore the train had come to n full stop
the strikers and their sympathizers
boarded the car, and by using argu-
ments and eXhortations induced all but
eighteen of them to agree to return to
New York. They are being cared for
at strikers headquarters and will be
furnished transportation home. There
was no violence and no angry words,
although not infrequently the com
pany's agents and the strikers mis-
sionaries would be working on the
same man at the same time.
The company had only twelve men
left to run the cars today. Five cars
were run, but there We're few passen-
gers carried.
The company is fitting up an impro-
vised hotel in the Linden street car
barn for the accommodation of the
imported men. The hotel refuses to
receive them and the merchants refuse
to furnish supplies. Three men were
coaxed off the cars this afternoon and
sent away by the strikers. General
Manager Stillman SAYS the company
will have cars running on all the lines

GERMANS DISLIKE
GROWTH OF AMERICA

Berlin, Dec 27.-In its yearly finan-
cial review, the Frankfurter Zeitung
points out that one of the most import
ant facts of the last twelve months has
been the growing influence of the
United States upon the economic situ-
alton of Europe.
"In the first months of the year,
says the writer, 'when German indus
tries had not the remotest fear Of re-
action, it was the report from America
regarding the iron market and the fear
of flooding the German market with
American manufactures that terrified
our markets and agitated our bourses.
wall street quotations frequently
breathe standards for all other ex-
changes. The entrance of the United
States into the ranks of creditor ma
tions signifies change in the times.
Ever since the war with Spain the
United States government has pur-
sued undeviatingly world policy of
world conquest. European states must
familiarize themselves with the
thought that the United States will have
a very weighty word in determining
the new political consultations among
the leading nations. American action
in undertaking the Nicaraguan canal
also proves that the military and still
more the diplomatic participation of
the United States in the chief troubles
shall bear fruit"

Trnst D.nies Purcha.e OF Me.ican smelters

New York, Dec. 27.-It was learned
to-day from official sources that the
reports of negotiations by the Amer
lean Smelling and Refining Company
for the purchase of six of the largest
smelters in Mexico are without foun-
dalton. The story, it is declared
arose from the long talked of consol-
idation of the American Smelling Com
pany's interests and those of NJ. Gug-
genheim's Sons. unquestionably,
when the union of these two silver re-
inning firms occurs, the Mexican smell

The heavy Spanish immigration to
Cuba now taking place is great COM
pliment to ''the American occupation"
Of that island. Spaniards are going
there faster than when it was under
their own government; they find the
advantage of similarity of language
without the abuses of the old Spanish
regime. 1t is to be hoped that indie
pendent Cuba will prove equally at
uactive to European immigrants.

throne, has just Joined the public
school in the Schotten district, at vi
emma, taking his place on the school
benches beside boys of the humblest
parentage. Indeed. lads from among
the poorer classes predominate in these
public schools, as people of wealth and
position are accustomed to have their
children educated either at home, by
tutors, or else at expensive private
