NAYIGAII ::!' The AIR
Emil Berliner Turns Out an Airship
Which, It Is Said, Really
..--
Flies.

Washington, Aug, 31.--Emil Berliner,
an inventor, has successfully tested an
aeroplane flying machine. The expert
ments have been conducted with small
machine which is unlike the Langley in
vention.7 Two skyrockets, supplied the
motive power,tand the Berliner aeroplane
lifted and maintained itself for a consid-
cradle time in the air at a distance OF
eight feet from the ground. The present
model Is capable of lifting while flying a
weight Of more than a pound for each
square foot of horizontal area, and main
tanning a speed of something less than
twenty miles an hour. The machine is
constructed Of aluminium and tin plate,
and has a weight Of thirty -four pounds,
excluding ballast. It's main body is made
up Of four arches, open below and slipping
down in the rear to wide tail ends. In
moving forward the arches produce q, cur
rent of compressed air, exerting at the
same time a parachute action, thus serv-
ing to support the structure. The actual
lifting is done by the tail pieces, which
carry the air current. .s..a. 49,. .-.

CALLS AT STATE DEPARTMENT
chel<lb Bey, the Turkish Minister, Con
suits With Secretary Hay.

suits With Secretary Hay.
Washington, Aug 31.-Chekib Bey the
Turkish minister, had a long interview to-
day with Secretary Hay. After the inter-
view, Secretary Hay visited the navy de-
partment
II the Turkish minister requested that
the European squadron be kept away from
Turkish waters, his request probably can
not be granted even should the depart
ment desire to accede to it, as the navy
department states that it will be impossi-
BILE to communicate with either the
Brooklyn or San Francisco until they ar
rive at Beirut.
Chelxib Bey assured Secretary Hay that
the Turkish government had done moth
ing wrong and would use every endeavor
to protect American citizens residing in
Turkey. He also discussed the conditions
of the instruction in Turkey and said the
Turkish government was not RESPONSE
BILE for any of the disasters that had oc-
Cured.
Secretary Hays call upon Acting secre-
tary Darling was for the purpose of as
pertaining the whereabouts of the Euro
pean squadron and also what their orders
are. There is no intention of changing
any orders at present, especially as the
ships cannot be reached until they arrive
at Beirut. No messages of Importance
have been received from Minister Leish-
man to-day.
Late dispatches from Minister Leish-
man do not differ materially in tone from
those previously sent Minister Leish-
man does not, as reported in some quar-
ters, request the withdrawal of the Amer
lean ships from Turkish waters. While
reports by way Of London state that no
attempt was made upon the life of Vice
Consul Magelssen, official advices show
that such an attempt was made.
The present status was known before
the ships left Genoa and this government

1t Breaks Out Anew In the German PRESS
Over Magelssen incident.
Berlin, Aug. 31.-The advent Of the
United States as a factor in the Turkish
problem has aroused dissatisfaction, to
which the German press gives free ex-
preston. ...--s
The feeling is unquestionably due to the
knowledge tl9t If the American govern
ment once legitimately interferes, respect
for the status quo will not be allowed to
interfere with the course Of justice and
the political calculations Of Germany,
Austria and Russia may be rudely upset
Moreover, there is the strongest desire
in Germany to maintain the integrity Of
the Ottoman empire in the interest of
German trade, which needs an outlet in
eastern Europe.
Commenting on the action Of the United
States, the Berliner Tageblatt says the
situation is certainly complicated anew
by the smart policy Of the United States.
America desired to vie with Russia and,
therefore, likewise arranged for herself the
| murder Of consul, altho this was done
4 only by means Of erroneous reading OF a
cipher dispatch. But" the paper con-
tinues, " lies in Europe have short legs,
and even the bullet which Kisses by the
American consul at Beirut will not avail

rision. But If the United States really

Sofia, Aug. 31.-Nine hundred refugees
from Malkotirnovo and surrounding viii
lagos have arrived at Urumku, Bulgaria.
The refugees say the Turkish garrison
fired upon the Bulgarian part of Mako
tirnoyo with the object of creating an
impression that a revolution was in
progress.
The project, Aug. 81, summoned the
Bulgarian notables of Malkotirnovo and
endeavored to force them to sign a state
ment that the insurgents were the ag-
gressors. The notables refused to do so
and the first man who refused was
hanged the following day.

The Dneivnik publishes a report that one
section of the town Of Adrianople is in
ashes and that three other sections are
burning. The inhabitants are panic
stricken and the authorities have lost all
control. The Turks are committing whole
sale massacres. An unsuccessful attempt
was made, the Dneivnil1s advices add, to
blow up the west-bound Oriental express
between Hsunkistri and Tchernkeskia.
Only the locomotive, however, was de-
rallied.

station at Ekshi was blown up, num-

600 RuioarIane Killed,
The Bulgarian insurgents sustained a
severe reverse at Smilovo Friday, 1000 Of
them being killed.
The insurgents to the number of 5000
occupied a position a height. which
was stormed by six battalions of Turkish
troops, commanded by Servet Pasha. At

garians fed in the face Of the heavy Turk

insignificant.
1t appears that the record by the Aus
trian consul at Uskub that a detachment
of troops discharged their rifles at the
Austrian consulate there arose from the
simple circumstance that a party of AL

custom on joining the colors, and the Aus

New York, Aug 31.-Valentine Dillon, ex'
lord mayor Of Dublin, who arrived on the
Arabic yesterday has this to say Of the po-
litical ituation in Ireland to-day:
ireland has not been more prosperous in
three decades than she is. While the
landlord problem is far -om being settled
finally, the situation IS exceedingly comfort
able now. One happy circumstance is that
the land bill has at least for the present
pleased both sides.
s'There is no great poverty in Ireland to-
day. Neither is there great wealth-such as il
to be found in America or in England. But
the dire suffering which was felt there a few
years ago is now known now. The visit Of
the king his democratic ways, his attitude
toward the church and his respect for the
death Of its temporal head have all won fol
him loyalty and love unprecedented.

will rapidly decrease and that is an unde.
niable evidence Of growing prosperity. Ire
