LANGLEY'S STATEMENT
ABOUT AER0DR0ME.
Regrets Publicity Given to Initial
Experiments.


Washington. Aug. 1s.-Prof. Lang
ley, secretary of the Smithsonian In
stitution, whose experiments down the
Potomac with the aerodrome, or flying
machine, devised by hiIN. have attract
ed wide public interest, in order to
correct certain public misapprehen-
sions. to-day issued the following state
ment:
THE present experiments being made
in mechanical flight have been carried
on partly with funds provided by the
board of ordnance and Notifications
and partly from private sources, and
from a special endowment of the
Smithsonian Institution. The expert
ments are carried on with the APP
prevail of the board of regents of the
Smithsonian Institution.
I'm my previous trials success has
only been reached after initial fail
ure, which alone have taught the way
to it, and / know no reason why pros
pective trials should be an excep-
ton.
1T is possible, rather than probable.
that 1t may be otherwise now, but
judging them from the light of past
experience, IL Is to be regretted that
the enforced publicity which has been
given to these initial experiments,
which are essentially experiments and
nothing else, may lead to quite UNI
founded expectations.
ut is the practice of all scientific
men, indeed of all prudent men, not
to make public the results of their
work until these are certain. This con-
sideration, and not any desire to with
hold from the public matters in which
the public Is interested, has dictated
the policy thus far pursued here. The
fullest publicity, consistent with the
national interest (since these recent ex-
periments have for their object the de-
velopment of a machine for war pur-
poses) will be given to this work when
1t reaches a stage which warrants
notification"

London, Aug, 19.-The Italian am
bassador here to-day received a dis
patch from Rome announcing that an
Italian squadron had been ordered to
Macedonian waters to watch events
No explanation was given of the
reasons underlying the orders and the
embassy officials were unable to say
whether it was n result of Russia send
ing a squadron to Turkish waters. II
was regarded as probable that the for
eign Office at Rome had received adj
vices showing that Italian interests,
which are important at Salonica and in
it's neighborhood, are menaced.
The general consensus of opinion
among the diplomatists in London is
that there is nothing In the present
situation to warrant the belief that 1t
will develop into a general conhagra-
ton as the Powers are cooperating
generally to preserve the peace of Eu-
rope.
Japan Causes Uneasiness.
The situation in the Far East, es-
pecially the national agitation in ia
pan, is regarded by some diplomates
as being as threatening as the Balkan
situation. The Japanese officials hardly
attempt to conceal their belief that
their government will act in the Far
East should such an opportunity Of

the Balkans.

When asked for a prophecy of the
result of to-morrow's race Sir Thomas
said: Il am more confident of winning
than ever and my confidence is shared
by every man on the fleet and other ad-
mirers of the Shamrock III. Designer
Fife is thoroughly satisfied with the
tuning uD that Shamrock III has re-
ceived, and Capt. Wringe is confident"
In reply to question whether or not
there was any basis for suspicion that
the challenger had not been permitted
to show all her speed in her trials with
Shamrock III, Sir Thomas said: There
was never any jockeying. 1 do not
consider 1t an honest way of getting
people to bet their money. Except in
a few cases when Mr.. Fife has wanted
to sail alongside of Shamrock III, we
have always done the best we could,
and l have always wanted to see her

Sir Thomas added jokingly: SHAM
rock III will win the first race by
either six or seven minutes, I'm not
quite certain which: and the second
race by four minutes and a half. You
will have to ask me about the third
race later"
Good Wishes for Shamrock.

Diagrams reached the Erin to-day from

for the success of Sir Thomas and

Sofia, Bulgaria. Aug. 19.-The gen.
eral Macedonian situation is regarded
in official circles here as being dis
tinctly less dangerous than it was a
week ago. Now that unanimity of
action on the part of the most inter
ested Powers towards a speedier en-
forcement of the reforms in Macedonia
seems assured, there is a more hope
full feeling that the trouble will be
confined TO its present bounds.

Turks show Concern.

Constantinople, Tuesday, Aug. B.
The Russian squadron is expected this
afternoon. 1t will anchor in the bay
of Miada, off the coast of European
Turkey, between Burgas and the en-
trance of the Bosphorus, eighty miles
from the latter.
The attitude of indifference hitherto
assumed by the Turkish officials to-
ward Russia's action is giving way to
one of marked concern The Porte
fears that Russia contemplates max
ing still more important demands than
contained in the recent note of M. I'll
novieff, the Russian ambassador, such
as the appointment of Christian gov
ernor general of Macedonia. This idea,
however, does not find support in
diplomatic quarters, where the convic-
ton prevails that Russia is working
in full agreement with Austria.
The Russian demands on Turkey,
growing out of the recent murder OF
the Russian consul at Monasur, M
Rostkovski, were formally presented
at the Yildiz palace to-day.
May Encourage MacedOninns.
Notwithstanding the warning which
Russia addressed to the Bulgarian gov
eminent, it is generally believed here
that the Russian naval demonstration
in Turkish waters will dangerously
encourage the Macedonians, who, 1t is
asserted, will interpret Russia's action
as being the first step towards inter-
vention in their behalf.
The INSTRUMENTATION of the Turkish
troops is regarded as being one Of the
greatest dangers of the present Bal
kan crisis. The lack of discipline
among the soldiers is marked.
The ambassadors Of the Powers have

the Porte to the fears of massacres of
Salonica and have demanded the
adoption of immediate and effective
measures for the protection of the for
eign consulates and the subjects of the
various Powers.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE contro-
versy between the Bookbinders' Union
and William A. Miller, assistant fore
man in the government printing office,
has broken out afresh. At the close of
the days work Monday, Public Printer
Palmer handed to MIR. Miller a set of
charges which had been prepared by
the union. Miller sent them back to
the public printer, with the statement
that they were made by irresponsible
parties that they were based on hear
say, and were too absurd to seriously
consider. 1t was learned that the
charges were mainly directed against
Mr.. Miller's personal character, and
related to acts said to have been COM
mitted as far back as twenty-five years
ago. An official of the government
printing office stated that Millers status
in the office is not likely to be disturbed
