HON. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN.
of England and her colonies This is
taken to mean that he will appeal to the
country on his demand for preferential
tariff policy
Chancellor of the Exchequer Ritchie
resigns because he is at variance with
Premier Balfour's policy Of retaliatory
tariffs, just as he disagreed with Cham
berlain's scheme for preferential duties.
1t is understood that the resigna-
lions of some other members of the
cabinet are imminent and that Lord
Balfour, of BurIeigh, secretary for
Scotland, has actually resigned, al
though the fact has not yet been
formally given out. Lord Landsdowne,
the foreign secretary, left London
Thursday night for Balmoral, whittier
Premier Balfour and his brother are
also expected to proceed Immediately.
In the conservative clubs the manner
in which the crisis was projected was
almost as great a surprise as in liberal
quarters. Curiosity centers on the at
titude of the Duke of Devonshire, whose
resignation has been fully expected. 1t
was supposed by some that he would
take the present opportunity of retiring
from politics on the ground of his ad-
vanced years.
AS to the reconstruction of the cab
net no great interest is excited, although
the political parties are already busy
appointing Austen Chamberlain chan
cellor of the exchequer,, the Earl of Sell
borne as secretary for the colonies,
etc., because it is recognized as impos-
sible that an appeal to the country can
be much longer delayed and the general
opinion is that in the present shattered
condition of the unionist party the lib
erals will be returned to power

INCIDENT OF STONE RIVER.
Battle in Which Guns Were Thrown
Aside and Fists Brought
Into Play,

In the battle of Stone river, the
Third Kentucky confederates charged
upon the Third Kentucky union, in
McCook's division. These two regi-
ments were raised in the same county
and were consequently old friends,
neighbors and schoolmates, and now
about to meet for the first time as
enemies, says the American Tribune.
AS soon as they came near enough for
recognition they mutually ceased fir
ing and began calling each other
names and swearing at each other in
way that would have made the chap
lain's hair stand on end could he have
heard it; and all this time the battle
was roaring around them without
great deal of attention from either
side. 1t was hard to tell which regi-
ment would come off victor in the
wordy contest.
At length, and as if by mutual con-
sent, they ceased swearing and, grasp
ing their muskets, they charged into

nTHE OLD MANI WAS RILED
His Sons Knew What to Expect and
That Ended a Civil War
Battle.

One of the battles Of the civil war
was fought just east of Lancaster,
Mo-, near the hamlet of Athens, on
August 5, 1861, and the people of
Clark county have annually celebrated
that greatest of events in their quiet
neighborhood.
Athens is between 80 and 70 miles
north of Gettysburg. 1t was garri
soned by about 500 federals under
Col. David Moore The federal sol
diers had been under fire before and
were well disciplined. Col Martin
Green and LOO confederates were ap-
preaching from the west. The confed-
crates were armed with shotguns, old
fashioned pistols, corn knives, pitch
forks and clubs. AT Edna they scat
tered a force of federals and became
so enthusiastic that they thought moth
ing could stop them. A confederate
flag was run up on the courthouse, and
these raw soldiers thought they had
saved Missouri to the southern cause.
There it was learned of the federal
force at Athens. The confederates
were keen for another scrap and de-
manded to be led against the enemy.
What happened is thus told by N T.
Roberts, of Lancaster, who carried
musket with the "Johnnies":
1--WE left Edna with nearly 1000
men, but about 1000 dropped out as
we got closer to the bear The attack
began little after daylight. We ap-
preached from the south and west.

our boys were Some of the officers,

public that many inventors and Sclen-
fists had been working along toward
The same results and on parallel lines
go that it was almost a matter of
chance which among them should sue
eeed in the first discovery
Et happens that Washington has
been q center for experiment in the
development Of the flying machine.
Prof. Bell and Prof. Langley are
SzEaown to have advanced far in the
direction Of the acceptance; and now
comes another inventor-Emile Ber-
finer, who obtained the first patents on
she telephone transmitter-with the
agnounceme Mt of successful test Of a
gylng machine model on a plan not
hitherto considered by anybody else
Berliner has constructed model of
Il flying machine which even at, this
early stage lifts in flying weight of
eyer one pound for every square foot
Of horizontal area at speed estimated
s1e 20 miles an hour. The inventor con-
efdently expects that with increased
speed the best performance of birds,
which is the flying of two pounds
weight for every square foot of hori-
z0ntal area, will be considerably sur
passed. IL this becomes true people
zefore long will be flying around like
Birds, because two wings each five by
"a feet would then carry a person of
j; average weight together with small
; propeller driven either by foot or by
machine
Mr.. Berliner has been at work on
The flying machine proposition at inter-
walls for 80 years and has only just
reached anything approaching success.
He analyses birds flight as having
two principal aetions-the production
al a current Of compressed air by the
beating Of wings and the lifting for
ward on this air current Of the body
OF the bird. This lifting forward kite
fashion, is greatly helped by the tail
or by back wings taking the place of
the tail. In his opinion therefore fly
ing machines will be possible with a
structure which when moved forward
E1orizontally will produce a current of
compressed air, with a tail surface for
Hitting the structure and combined
with these a sufficiently light motor
moving the whole rapidly forward. A
