Due to Proper Division Of Navy.

Washington, April 6.--It Is said here
that the change in the character of
the Asiatic squadron is due primarily
to what naval experts consider the
proper division of our navy, and was
decided some time ago. It is also felt
to be a good precautionary measure to
have a strong representation in the
Far East ready Tor service should the

Over Paris Races.)
the vessel to this truck, which will be
held in position by four men.
On the race days the doors will be
flung open and each truck with the air
ship attached, run out and made to
''toe the line" so that the vessels will
have equal chances of winning. At a
given signal the aeronauts will cast
off and the fight for the mastery of the
air will begin. There will be no crowd
ing, each vessel having plenty of room,
SO that the chances of false start will
be reduced. to minimum.
1t is at these Partisan races that NJ.
Santos-Dumont will compete with NJ.
Lebaudy in the fight for the 100, ooo-
franc prize. M. Lebaudy will sail his
famous yellow One," a large vessel ca
pable of carrying three people. His OPP
ponent however, intends to try a
smaller vessel, and will sail with one
assistant only. Both aeronauts are
confident of success, and the race is
looked forward to as one of the most
exciting in the annals of ba11ooning.
1t is not known yet how many air
ships will take part in these races, but
in Paris alone there are at present
building, or already built, no fewer
than ID frst-class vessels. NJ. Dumont
is now booking entries from all parts
of Europe, and he confidently expects
that the number of dirgible balloons
competing will amount to something
not far short of 40.
Among those vessels already entered
for the races are the Rose, the biggest
airship in the world; La Vile de Paris,
a vessel similar in construction and
shape to those built by NJ. Dumont;
the famous Firmin Bousson ssbottle-
shape" balloon; the General Tour, built
by the SON of the we'll known soldier:
and the National.
NJ. Santos-Dumont is also busy su-
perintending the building of what will
be the biggest airship in the world.
bigger even than the Rose. It is fur
nished with four wicker baskets each
Of which will hold three persons.
There are to be three decks and for
stability it will not have it's equal-in
the air. At least, that is what the in
ventor claims for it. The supposition
that NJ. Santos-Dumont would. have
found some difficulty in persuading a
dozen people to trust their lives in the
new ship would .be but natural, but
such is the craving for excit ement in
these days that he has already re-
ceived the names of over a hundred
volunteers who desire to make the first
trip in this monster balloon. -. i

portion of the palace just opposite the
gates, which commands an excellent
view of the whole proceedings, as we'll
as the sultan's yacht, the Izzedin,
which lies at anchor in the Bosphorus
far below. In solemn state and grand
eur the royal procession passes. The
sultan is dressed in a plain military
frock coat, with fez. His four little
sons, to all appearances of the same
age, mounted on Arab ponies, salute
as he passes the gates, the band at the
same time striking up the sultan's
march, which has smart, tip-tap air
about it. Officers and men alike salute,
and the service in the mosque COM
mences. - +"
