GREAT ENGLISH
EX-PREMIER DEAD

London, Aug. 22-Lord Salisbury
died peacefully at 9;O5 O'Clock last
night. Soon after the shadows had
crept up from the valley and enshroud-
ed the dull red walls of Hatfield house,
the distinguished statesman. making
the last effort OF his life. turned slight
ly toward his favorite daughter. Lady
Gwendoline Cecil, who was kneellng
beside him. and then quietly breathed
his last.
Viscount Cranborne, who now as
sumes the title OF marquis of Sails
bury. Immediately notified King Ed
ward and Queen Alexandria. the prince
and princess of Wales and others. in
Guiding Lord Edward Cecil. the sol
dlcr son of Lord Salisbury. who is now
in Egypt. and who was the only child
OF the marquis absent from the death
bed
Socn the messages OF coincidence be-
gan coming in. and the little telegraph
office at Hatfield was swamped with
unprecedented business.
The death of Lord Salisbury
occurred on the fiftieth anniversary of
his entry into public life as a member
Of the House OF Commons for Stan
ford.
The elevation of Lord Cranborne to
the House of Lords creates a vacancy
in the Rochester district and probably
will entail the selection OF a new under
secretary of foreign affairs.
The eX-premier. though retired from
political life, was an important
figure in many public ways.
He was warden of the Cinque ports,
high steward of Westminster and
chancellor of oxford university. His
death places an order OF Knight of the
Garter at the disposal Of King Edward.

The only fights made in the congress
were on the statehood question OF Ok

as originally introduced was against
the raising of sugar and tobacco in the
islands and dealt with the tariff Ques-

matter, after heated debate. Then

cember 18th. There were ffty-two other
citizens arrested Thursday on the same
charge. and they. too. waived exam
nation and were bound over.
When Judge Overs held District
Court at Georgetown last week he had
bench warrants issued for the defend
ants arrested Wednesday. but II is
claimed by the union men that the If
ty-two whose names were handed in
Thursday were also implicated. Among
the names handed in Thursday there
are some who were not in the city at
the time the men were driven from the
camp. II is expected that some other
arrests may be made upon the charge
of rioting. and District Attorney Thur
man says he will have all men arrested
against whom complaints are filed.
1t is not expected that Judge De
France will return before the middle
of September. and the civil cases set
for last week win probably be heard
by him upon his return. although Judge
Overs was asked by Judge De France
to preside at the hearing of these cases.

PROF. LANGLEY'S
FLYING MACHINE

Washington. d. c.. Aug. 22.-Profes-
sor Langley has issued the following
statement from the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition:
To the Press-The present expert
ments 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 an endowment of the
Smithsonian Institution. The expert
ments are carried on with the approval
of the board of regents of the Smith
sonian Institution.
THE public's interest in them may
lead to an unfounded expectation az to
their immediate results without an ex-
PLANTATION, which is here briefly given;
These trials. with some conducted
with steam-driven flying machines. are
believed to be the first in the history of
inventions where bodies far heavier
than the air itself have been sustained
in the air for more than n few seconds
by purely mechanical means.
In my previous trials success has
only been reached after initial failures
which alone have taught me the way to
1t, and know no reason why prospect
i've trials should be an exception.
1T is possible. rather than probable.
that 1t may be otherwise now, Dut.
judging them from the light of past
experience, 1t 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 un-
founded expectations.
''It is the practice of all scientific
men, indeed of all prudent men. not to
make public the results of their work
till these results 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 ma
tional interest (these recent expert
ments have for their object the devel-
opment of machine for war purposes)
will be given to this work IL 1t reaches
a stage which warrants publication"
