only dug up two clippings roasting
Bob Dunn. Must be getting tired.
In 1893 the journals of "public
virtue and purity' in the twin cities
opposed Van SAINT because he was
too close to jim HILL" Now they
yell for him as the ''enemy OF Jim
Hill: Why not stand for man once
who is neither the .enemy'' or the

A1RsHIp TEST CALLED SUCCESSFUL.
Another Attempt to Fly To Be Made in Two
or Three Weeks.
[FRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU. !

Washington Aug. 1.-THE pneumatic experts OF
the Smithsonian Institution maintain that the trial
made recently with the Langley airship model was
entirely successful Judged from scientific point OF
view. The fact that the model failed to make
prolonged flight they regard as an Insignificant de-
tail compared with the demonstration Of the fact
that when the motor performed its function the
model maintained its fight.
It is explained that from the first difficulties have
been encountered with the small gasolene motor
with which the model equipped and to this fact
was due much Of the previous delay. This motor,
which is only two and one-half horsepower has, to
properly On the day of the fight OF the model 1t
Is explained, the motor started soon the flight
began but soon stopped and the ship naturally lost
impetus. Then the motor started again and the
model lifted, but dipped again when the motor
stopped This course, it is contended was repeated
three times, and from the fact that when the motor
was in operation the model oVercame the laws of
graVttation it is argued that demonstration of the
correctness of the Langley principle obtained.
AS soon as is practicable further test will be
made with a model and then probably two or three
weeks hence. Mr.. Manley, the assistant in charge
will make an attempt to fly with the full sized air
ship.
The secrecy with which it has been attempted to
surround the tests IS maintained by direction the
officers of the Board Of OrdanCe and Fortiications
which board has furnished the "Snews of war
with which the present experiments are being con-
Quoted. 1t Is further insisted by Professor Lang
leys representatives that the newspaper accounts
of the model test contained many inaccuracies due
to the fact that the newspaper men were too far

MAY HUNT TIN IN PHILIPPINES.
Three-fourths of the Worlds Tin Comes
from Places Near There.
lrRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU


Washington Aug 14-Interesting facts about the
remarkable development Of the use of Tin In the
United States the last thirteen years following
the enactment OF the Mckinley tariff law, and
suggesting the possibility of a new source OF ma
tional wealth through the acquisition of the Philip
pines are presented by the Department of Com
merce and Labor through its bureau OF statistics
1t appears that the imports of tin for the last fiscal
year aggregated sS.oOO0o0 pounds valued at more
than s23 OOO while in 1890 the importations were
81, 1000 pounds, worth about $l,000,OO
These figures Of the years importation of tin, and
the growth in the importation since 1890 are es-
peciay interesting in view of the recent imposltlon
of a duty expectations OF TN ore from the
British colonies of the Malayan peninsula. The
rapid growth in the of tin in the United States
coupled with the fact that practically none OF that
article is produced in this country suggested the
importation of tin in the form OF ore and the
rmelting of the and manufacture OF the pig I'm
at home. A plant for this purpose has been oullt
here and the shipment of from the Malayan
peninsula was about 10 begin, when the Depart
ment of State received word through the reports
Of the United States consul at Straits settlements
that an export duty of $50 a picul Q33 pounds had
been levied on tin exported the purpose OF
this tax being to prevent the expectation of the ore

P1P4L SECRET4RYSHIP.
Cardinal SatoM Again Mentioned
The POpc's Visitors.

Rome, Aug. 14.-The appointment of Secre-
taTy of State continues to be the engrOssinS
topic at the Vatican. There has been a sugges-
tion that Cardinal Gotti should be appointed to
this post. on the ground that such appoint
ment would please Germany and Austria, and
that Cardinal Rampolla should replace Cardinal
Gotti as Prefect of the Propaganda, thus insur-
ing the protection of Frances interests in the
Far East. 1t is not believed. however. that the
suggestion will prove acceptable to the Pope.
Others believe that the Pope is trying to over
come the excessive modesty of Cardinal SatOli
in order to induce him to accept the office, while
others still believe that Plus Y will end by con-
ferring the red hat upon his Intimate friend.
Monsgnor Callegari Bishop of Padua, and sub
sequently nominating him as Secretary of State
Plus Y has signif1ed his intention of occupy
ing the apartment in which the late Pope lived,
and the furniture is now being removed.
The Pope to-day received in private audience
several cardinals, archbishops and bishops. He
also received Sir Thomas Esmonde the repre-
sentative of the Irish Parliamentary party, who
presented the congratulations of the Irish party
upon the Pope's accession. The POntiff was
loyal people. and that he wished to them all
prosperity and happiness.

Washington, Aug 4.-Recommendations Of far
reaching Importance to the Naval Academy are
contained in the annual report of the board OF
visitors of that institution which, by order OF the
Acting Secretary of the Navy, was made public
to-day
The board recommends that candidates be ad-
mitted to Annapolis on certificates from certain
schools approved by the academic board. the board
believing the studies of the better class OF State
universities could be modified to meet the peculiar
needs of the Naval Academy that candidates
be nominated one year in advance of the entrance
examination; that graduation at the end OF four
years be final, relieving midshpmen of the neces-
sity of returning two years after graduation for
further examination; that graduates be commls-
stoned as soon as graduated; that the teaching
force of the academy be increased in view OF the
recent great increase in numbers of midshipmen
and that department of physical training be es,
tablished thereby placing this matter under tne
special supervision of a highly quallned expert.
The board regrets the eXpedient recently ADOPT
ed of graduating the first class III tebruary IN
stead Of in June and recommends that the hrst
class hereafter be permitted to carry It's course
to the end of the school year
Keen satisfaction is expressed by the board with
the conduct of the academy under the Supern-
tendency of Captain Brownson The suggestion
is made that some continuity Of existence be given

were seriously wounded by falling houses, trees

TRv TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

oyster Bay. Aug. 14-No information could
be obtained here to-day regarding last nights
dispatch from Yokohama, declaring that Prince
Ching had obtained Russia's consent to the en-
ployment of President Roosevelt's good offices
in connection with arbitration of the Manchu-
rian difficulty. At the executive offices it was
stated that no representations on the subject
had been received. and that until the President
had been formally approached the subject
and had arrived at decision no statement could
be given out. Those in touch with the admins
tration here. when asked concerning the re-
port expressed doubt that there any ques-
ton now pending with China which called for
such good offices on the part Of the Chief Exec
utive.
1t was pointed out that the establishment of
a viceroyalty for the Amoor District and
Quang-Tung Province will not necessarily in
any wise effect the evacuation Of Manchuria in
October. The appointment of Vice-Admiral
Alexieff as Viceroy is regarded here as indicat-
ing rather the triumph of the peaceful policy of
NJ. de Witte, the Russian Finance Minister, over
General Kuropatkin. the Minister of War. and
is considered in itself a significant step toward
the settlement of existing differences with both
China and Japan.
London Aug. 14.-Nether at the American
at the sother interested embassies is any
thing known regarding the statement made IN
last nights dispatch from Yokohama that Prince
Ching had secured Russia's consent to the use
Of President Roosevet's good offices in connec-
ton with the Manchurian difficulty.
Well informed Russians here do not under
stand that there is any question pending with
China in which the good offices Of President
Roosevelt are needed or have been offered.
Washington, Aug. 1f.--At the Japanese Legation

Is directly interested in Manchuria and has taken
an active part in tho diplomatic game in the Far

RAMPoLLA CONTESTS A WILL.
Decision Reserved in Case of Priest Who
Left Fortune to Reigning Pontiff

Naples, Aug. IA parish priest named
Milone wiled his whole fortune of $4,000 to
the reigning Pontiff when Leo XIII was at the
point Of death The priest has since died and
his family now set up the claim that the will is
invalid. Cardinal Rampolla, Papal Secretary
of State, has directed a local attorney to repre-
sent him, alleging that the priest collected the
money in virtue of his Office, and that it should
go to the Church. and that Leo XIII, being the
Sovereign Pontiff at the time, could be repre-
sented in the action by his Secretary OF state.
Trial of the action occurred to-day and the
judge reserved his decision.
