NEW YORK, May IN. Santos, the
young Brazilian acronaut who has been
making short visit in this country,
sailed this morning for France on the

the only prize that has been offered for
aeronauts to compete for is the prize OF
scot, goo at the St. Louis exposition. I
shall come over for that. but I cannot
visit this country again unless have
some purpose IN the way of competing

MR. ROOT Asked TO
FURNISH INFORMATION
Both CuIbersOn and Bunes0n
Resolutions Adopted.
NO COMMENT on ETHER
Measure Calls Upon Secretary Of War
foT Facts Regarding the Reconceu-
trado and the Kill-azd-B Burn Order.
Democrats Expect Important Results.

The Senate this morning adopted the
Culberson resolution calling ca the Sec
retary OF War for information regarding
the Philippine orders OF Generals Bell and
Smith.
The resolution was introduced by Sen
ator CuIberson yesterday, but Senator
Lodge, the chairman Of the committee,
opposed its immediate consideration, and
it went over.
1t was thought then that It might be
killed, but there was no objection this
morning, and it went through without d
word on either side
The resolution calls upon Mr.. Root to
/ inform the Senate when the department
! or the commanding general OF the army
received information regarding both the
! orders referred to. and if either or both
of them have been countermanded, and
when.
Practically the resolution wishes to
know what the attitude and action of the
department has been with regard to the
orders and the policies they. represent.
The Democrats believe that the War
/ Department viii acknowledge having
known and sanctioned both the Bell re-
concentration order and the Smith kill
and-burn order from the time they were
issued.
This the Democrats would regard as a
distinct victory for than in view OF Sen
etor Lodges statement on Tuesday that
ne considers both abhorent.
In the House a similar resolution, OF
fered by Representative BurIeson, was
also adopted, and without comment.

Heard of New Office.

cIined to state whether or not he would
accept appointment as chief OF the newly
created bureau Of foreign laws. for which.
a Peking cablegram states he has been

ever, that in the event he was appointed
and did accept, he would necessarily
leave Washington He said.
Z have received no official eommunica-
ton as yet to the effect that I have been
recommended for the position. How can
tell whether or no I would accept until
the appointment has been offered me? /
know nothing more about it Ehan read
in The Times press dispatch this morn
ing.
Would it not be premature for me to
state whether or no / would accept a
position to which I have not been ap-
pointed as yet2
I am a lawyer. and know the laws of
my country said Mr. Wa in answer to
a question as to why he had been ad-
vocated by the viceroys as chief of the
new bureau They are very good laws,
but they were created to cover conditions
which do not now exist This is the rea-
son for the creation of a new bureau,
When the laws were made it was at a
time when the existence of other nations
was not recognized. Since>that time trade
with foreign nations has opened up, and
many new things have come in. The laws
were very good. and met exigencies for
which they were designed, but many Of
them save been outgrown
please say that do not know anything
