Langley AeroPlane
An Utter Failure
~ No Time Was There . Sem
blOnee Of Actual Flight

Whitewater, Va: The 6O.foot. steel
built flying machine, the climax OF
years of exhaustive study in the eff
forts of Professor Samuel p Langley,
secretary of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, to solve the problem of mechan-
zeal flight in midsir, was launched
Wednesday and the experiment, care
fully planned and delayed for months,
proved a complete failure.
The immense airship sped rapidly
along it's 70-foot track, was carried by
its own momentum for 100 yards, and
then fell gradually into the Potomac
River, when 1t emerged total wreck.
Professor Charles M. Manley, who
had been Professor Langley's chief as
sistsnt in the work preliminary to the
attempted fight, was on board the
aeroplane and escaped with ducking.
At no time was there any semblance
OF flight, the initial momentum, the
lightness of the machine and the sus-
tanning surface of the wings furnish
ing the conditions which account for
the 1O0-yard transit OF the air-bird
from it's 60-foot elevation to the water.
Professor Manley started the motor,
which worked well. the revolutions
reaching 1900 minute. The big ma
chine moved easily along the 70-foot
track, in the launching apparatus, and
took the air fairly well.
A five-mile breeze was blowing and
for moment the machine stood up
well, but its failure was Immediately
apparent. 1t turned gradually down
ward.
Just before the machine struck the
water Professor Manley shut off his
motor, which had worked admirably al
the outset.
The machine disappeared beneath
the waves, but only momentarily. The
five conicslshaped floats, which hat
been distributed about the machine tC
avert its sinking. performed their func
lions well and the bridges of the ma
chine almost Immediately reappearet
above the water.
An hour later Professor Manley
gave out the following statement tt
the newspapers;
ut must be understood that the ties
today was entirely an experiment ant
the first of it's kind ever made. TIL,
experiment was unsuccessful. Tit
balancing upon which depends the sue
cess of the flight was based upon tn,
tests of the models and proved to b.
incorrect, but only an actual trial o
the full-sized machine itself could de
termine this. My confidence in the FL
ture success Of the work is unchanged

China, has announced that the Man

The Manchurian convention between
Russia and China was signed April 8,
1902, and, according to II, the evacua-
tion of the three Manchurlan Pro
vinces was to be carried out in three
successive periods of six months from
the signing Of the convention.
A note from M. Lessar was append
ed to the convention, declaring that
"if the Chinese Government, notwith-
standing the assurances given by It,
violates any provision of the conven-
tion the Russian Government will not
hold itself bound by either the terms OF
the Manchurian agreement or by the
declarations previously made in con-
nection with the matter, and will be
compelled to repudiate any RESPONSE
bility and consequences that might
arise therefrom"
China was to be permitted to main
tain whatever force she thought neces.
sary in Manchuria after the evacuation
of that territory. Russia also agreed
if Tien-Tsin was restored to the Chin.
csc within the first six months to
evacuate New Chwang at the time this
restoration was made.

Tillman Gives His
Version Of Shooting
Says He Thought Gonzales Was
About TO Fire at Him

Lexington, s. c.: The examination OF
James H. Tillman, who went on the
stand during the last hour Thursday
as a witness in bis own behalf, was re-
sumed Friday. He was asked what Inn
preston was made upon him by the
editorials written by Mr. Gonzales.
He replied that they were intensely
bitter. In reply to questions, Tlllman
said he had been told In a dozen places
in South Carolina that he could not
come to Columbia and say what he
had said on the stump elsewhere
about Mr.. Gonzales. Also, he said, Il
had been reported to him that the
opera house in Columbia, where he
was to speak, was to be packed, and
he was not to be let out alive.
Mr.. Tillman, giving his version OF
the shooting, said he was walking
down from the statehouse after the
adjournment of the State Senate, jan
uary Is, in company with Senators Tai
bird and Brown. Before reaching the
transfer station, he said, he noticed
Mr.. Gonzales down the street. looking
at him very intently. He said Mr.. Con
zales had on an overcoat. tightly but
toned, with hands in his pockets,
thumbs sticking out Mr.. Gonzales cut
diagonally across in front of him, he
said. and the thumb of his right hand
disappeared in his pocket. He said he
thought Mr.. Gonzales was going to
draw a weapon, and he fired FIRST, say
ing: Il got your message"
The message, he said, referred to
the statements reported to him by Wit
nesses White and Holzenbach. These
statements were to the effect that Con.
zales had said he had made Tlllman
show the white feather twice before,
and would do it again. The defendant
said he did not fire a second shot, as
Mr.. Gonzales did not draw a pistol.
On cross-examination, the defendant
said he had reason to expect, from the
moment he saw Mr. Gonzales, that he
(Gonzales) would shoot when they
! met.
