Langley Talks of His Airship.
nv the Associated Press.N

(By the Associated 1IeSS.J
Washington, August 19.-Prot. Langley,
secretary of the Smithsonian Institute,
whose experiments down the Potomac with
the aerodrome or flying machine devised
by him, have attracted wide public inter
est, in order to correct certain pubic mis-
apprehensions today issued the following
statement:
"The present experiments being made
in mechanical fight have been carried on
partly with funds provided by the Board
of Ordnance and Fortifcations and partly
from private sources, and from special
endowment of the Smithsonian Institution.
The experiments are carried on with the
approval of the board of regents of the
Smithsonian Institution.
ut is the practice of all scientific men,
indeed of all prudent men, not to make
public the results of their work till they
are certain This consideration, and not
any desire to withhold 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
experiments have for their object the de-
velopment of a machine for war purposes,
will be given to this work when 1T reaches
stage which warrants publication"

Japan's Press Again Boils Over.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, Aug. 19-Dispatches received
here from Yokohoma under todays date
say the leading newspapers of Toxic have
abandoned the silence which they have
hitherto observed regarding the situation
in Corea and publish articles strongly
denunciatory of the action of Russia. The
Fiji declares it is time to show Corea that
Japan's patience is exhausted while the
Shimbun urges the government to de
mand explanations of Russia.
Both the papers mentioned are news
papers of moderate tone.
An agencys interview with Viscount
Hayashi, the japanese minister, quotes
him as saying:
mot only l. but my government dis
claim all the panic stories of war be-
tween Russia and Japan. All fears of
a conflict are groundless. Both Russia
and Japan are really trying to be con-
cliatory. War would not be an advan-
tage to either. So far it has been
game of bluff. Japan has no warships
building in England and has not IN
creased the strength of her army IN
view of possible events

THE CANAL TREATY
NotReje but Disapproved'
A Treaty May Yet Go
Through.
CBy the Associated Press.)

BOgota, Columbia, Friday, Aug IA
bill is ready authorizing the government
to make a new canal treaty with the
United States upon fixed bases and also
providing for modifying the national con-
stitution.
Washington, Aug. 19.-Unoffcial, but
what is considered entirely reliable mfor-
nation, has been received by DIR. Herran
the Colombian Charge dAffaires, here,
indicating an intention on the part of the
Colombian Senate to resume consideration
of the subject OF a Panama Canal treaty
in place of the one disapproved by that
body on the 18th instant. This shows a
decided change in the turn Of affairs, and
leads DR.. Herran to hope that measure
yet will be passed by Congress which will
form the basis for the ratification of al
treaty between Colombia and the United
States for the construction of an isthmian
canal DR.. Herrans information is that
on the 18th instant, the day after the dis
approval of the treaty by the Senate, that
body voted to appoint a committee of
three members to act jointly with com
mittec from the House of Representatives
in the formation of a measure having for
its object the ratification oil treaty be-
tween the two countries by the executive
of Colombia, alter the two houses of the
Colombian Congress had passed an en-
aiding act outlining the terms and con
ditons on which treaty should be drawn
The president of Colombia by mis- act
would have full power in the premises
and the treaty would not have to be af-
forwards submitted to the Colombian Con-
gress.
The Associated Press dispatch from
Bogota, - is explained, would indicate
that perhaps the initiative taken by the
Colombian Senate according to DR.. Her
rams information already had borne fruit
and that committees from the two houses
of the Colombian Congress had agreed
on a measure-mal<ing possible the prepa-
ration and ratification of a treaty.
A more careful reading of the dispatch
which DR.. Herran received early in the
week announcing the action of the Sen
ate on the treaty shows that what that
body really did was to "disapprove" the
instrument and not reject" it. as has
been stated heretofore

solutely nothing on his person to prove
that he was not prisoner, the trainmen
would not release him. The railroad au
thorities telegraphed to Chicago for in
structions, and when the train reached
Sydney, Marsden was finally released from
his predicament. Tonight he passed

Acc dent Due to Rotten Timbers.
(By the Associated Press. J

Philadelphia, Pa, August 19.-The coro-
ner today concluded his investigation into
the accident at the Philadelphia National
League park on August Sth, which result
ed in the death of twelve persons.
The verdict of the coroners jury was
in part as follows:
1--WE find that the accident was due to
the rotten condition of the supporting
timbers of the balcony, and we further find
that the Philadelphia baseball club (limit-
ed) the former owners) was responsible
for not having a thorough examination
made of these timbers.'
This verdict absolves from blame
the present owners of the Philadelphia
National League baseball club.
