REPRESENTATIVES, PLANS.
Aerounut Enthusinstic Over Ills Pro-
 posed Visit to United states.

Paris, March 20.-M. Snntos-Dumont
 the aeronaut, in an interview here to-
 night with a representative of the As
 sociated Press, appeared very enthusi- astic concerning his approaching trip to the United States, whithar he will go on his own initiative. M Santos Dumont said:
 Yes, after some negotiations, I have | decided to go to St Louis and assist in drawing up the rules for the aerial con- tests of 1903 I will be accompanied by my secretary and my chief mechanic. I | will take with me, as far as New York. the 45-horse- power motor, the frame work and the two propellers of my bal loon No T. From New York I shall proceed to St Louis to confer with the exposition authorities regarding the contests.
 My idea is to make sort of aerial track, say fifteen miles In circumfer- ence, around St. Louis, marked by cap tive balloons and visible for the whole distance from the exposition grounds which are to form the starting and fin ishing points There should be series of races varying in distance from one to several times around the track, But l am strongly in favor of establishing one big race, sort of aerial Grand Prix, with a s1OO,OO0 prize. This would be a great stimulus to competition and should attract number of the inven- tors of the various systems of drigible balloons. I shall certainly participate in the contests, ard I hope to make many rivals.
 q have many other ideas which I be-
 ieve will contribute to the success of the tournament. but I reserve them for discussion with the authorities.
 q expect to spend altogether about fortnight in America, during which time the mechanical part of my balloons will be put together at New York I shall investigate the possibilities of contest at New York in the autumn, and if I find the prize offered to be a sufficient amount I will return and try to win it, as I did the Deutsch prize
 When asked how large this prize should be M. Dumont replied 'I think it ought to be about 300, GOO francs, because my expenses will be heavy; it will cost about 100000 francs to build a balloon shed. I will not re- turn to New York unless a prize be of- fered for competition. The expenses would be too heavy for me to go simply to give displays and I do not wish to go at the expense of anybody else. If no prize is offered I will leave the mechanical parts of my balloon at New York until the St. Louis exposition opens. If a prize is promised I shall re- turn to London to compete for the prize offered there for the race to Birmine- ham with my No. {. Then, at the end of July I will take the envelope of my No ' balloon to New York and remain there couple of months"

05 PER CENT. PACIFIED
Acting Governor of Philippines Takes
 Rosy View of Conditions.

Washington, March 20. - Judge Wright, acting civil governor of the Philippines, has written a letter to Gen. eral Marcus J. Wright of this city, in which he says:
 Tn 95 per cent. Of the territory of the islands there is no insurrection. and Americans go about singly and unarm- ed with about as much safety as they would in q large majority of the states at home There is fast dying insur- recton in two provinces Of the great island of Luzon and in the remote southern island of Samar. We arc dealing energetically with the lawless element. and the people, as a rule, are rebuilding their houses where they have been destroyed. tilling their fields and pursuing their ordinary vacations.
 "Of course telegraphic despatches generally deal alone in something sen sational. The fact is that the progress we have made in the last year is tre- mendous and to me, very encouraging
 T see no reason to doubt that Amer ican authority can be maintained with out more troops than indicated by Gov crnor Taft. Of course, we must utilize the native in policing his own coun- try, just as has been done by England in all her colonies from the beginning"
