the Press Representatives.
MACHINERY IS COMPLICATED
GREAT MASS OF WHEELS, RODS,
BOILERS AND PISTONS.
Wings Have an Area of 500 Square

big aerodrome was placed in position on
the superstructure of the houseboat late
this afternoon The whole airship force
worked on the body. arranging machinery
and adjusting the wings until sundown.
The flying machine then returned to
the interior. 1t was the first time that 1t

tives.
The machinery and dimensions were
plainly visible. Amidships there is great
mass of wheels, rods, boilers, pistons and
various other mechanical devices. 1t is ex-
ceedngly complicated. The body consists
of several long steel bars centrally sit
uated.
With bowsprit and rudder it will measure
sixty feet Close to the motor is the navi-
gators car This is built for a weight of
$50 pounds. 1t probably will carry Professor
Langley, who was in it repeatedly this

excess of twenty-seven horsepower. 1t is
connected by bars to the pr0pelers, which
are about six feet in diameter and capa-
BILE of revolving 100 times minute. The
motive power is sufficient to produce n
velocity of forty miles an hour.
Placed equally about the ship are five
empty conicaI bodies designed as floats to
keep the airship up when it strikes water.
Fore and aft are two strong platforms on
each side to support the wings. These are
of delicate but rigid construction, twenty
by ten feet, allowing sustaining capacity
of eight hundred square feet During the
work repeated photographs OF the machine

partments on the superstructure and re-
peatedly adjusted.

PLEADED FOR The CANAL
MARROQUIN'S ADDRESS TO THE con-
GREsS AT BOGOTA.
He Believed the Nation Should Make
Sacrifices to Secure the Compile
tiOn Of the Great Work.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Aug. 21.-The fol-
lowing dispatch has been received from
Bogota, overland. via Cucuta:
Before presenting the Panama canal
treaty to the Colombian Senate, President
Marroquin said:
My government is confronted with this
dilemma: Either our sovereignty must
suffer detriment or must renounce GER
tain pecunary advantages to which in
the opinion of many We have right; or we
must vigorously maintain our sovereignty
and claim in peremptory manner the pc
cuniary indemnity to which we consider
ourselve entitled.
In the first case, by consenting to the
diminishing of our authority and not as
piring 10 an important indemnity, if the
canal should be opened through the
Panama isthmus the just desire of the in
habtants of that department and of all
Colombia. and also the government, would
be satisfied. but the government would be
exposing itself to having the charge
brought against it later that il did not duly
defend our sovereignty, and that il sacri-
feed the interest of the nation
sin the second case, should the canal not
be opened through Panama, the govern
ment Will be reproached with not having
allowed Colombia to obtain that advantage
which is considered an essential condition
Of our ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Il have already expressed my desire that
the lnteroceanic canal be opened through
our territory. / think that even at the
cost of some sacrifices we ought not to
place obstacles in the way of so grand an
enterprise. both because IL will be a gigan-,
tic material Improvement to our country
and because once the canal is opened by
the North Americans we shall strengthen
and widen our relations with them, which
Will result In an immeasureable gain to our
industry, commerce and wealth. Happily
for me. the immense responsibility which
must weigh upon him who decides this
question must be assumed by Congress,
whose duty ii is TO definitely approve or dis
approve the agreement proposed by the
North American government
patriotic demonstration occurred in Bo-
gotta after the disapproval of the treaty
by the Senate.
