Professor Langley's Big Airship About to Be Tested.
 Washington Special to New York Tribune.
 The big Smithsonian houseboat, with the first United States Government fly ing machine, developed under Professor Samuel P Langley. left Washington early this morning in tow of a tug, bound for the Potomac wide water below Quantico, where in the next few weeks the first test of a vapor driven aeroplane carrying men to control and steer 1t, will be con ducted by c.

TWO MORE PLEAD GUILTY Hardie and Todd Go to
 Jail. THEY PRACTICED PE0NAGE Will Serve Their Time in
 Dadevllle. Captain Dicley Leaves for Rome and No More Trials at This Term.
 Civil Docket Comes
 Next.

Anderson A. Hardie of Texas, and
 James H. Todd of Tallapoosa County.
 yesterday morning entered pleas of guilty
 in the cases in which they were Tsoaa charged Jones of the United States Court. Each of them was fined $i, 600 and thirty
 days in jaiA They requested that they
 be permitteT to serve out their jail sent ences in the Taliapoosa County jail. and this request endorsed by District Attor- ney Warren s. Reese. was granted by Judge Jones. The prisoners left yester- day evening for Dadeviile where they will serve out their sentences. They were in charge of Deputy Marshal A. b. Colquitt. Hardie and Todd were guards for J. M. Pace on his Tallapoosa County farm. The guards watched over the negroes who
 were held in peonage. For his connection
 with the peonage cases. Hardie, who Is a son-in-law of Pace, was twice indicted. He was arrested at Abilene Texas, and returned to Alabama.
 Todd was five times indicted for the peonage practice. Each of them yester-
 day pleaded guilty on one indictment The
 sentence of s1,000 fine and thirty days in jail was given each on his plea. There will be no sentence on the remaining in- dictments against Todd and Hardie. There were no formalities about the
 close of the cases against Hardie and Todd. They were arraigned before Judge Jones at noon. their pleas of guilty were entered and Judge Jones pronounced the
 sentence. The entire proceedings occupied
 only few minutes
 Capt. H. c. Dickey, the Secret Service agent, who has achieved considerable
 fame in his work In the peonage cases, left yesterday for his home in Memphis.
 Tenn. Captain Dickey has been the field superintendent of the Secret Service De- partment in working up the evidence in the peonage cases. In this work he was
 successful as the number of convictions
 and pleas of guilty show. Yet the de-
 fendants in the peonage cases have enter
 tained for him lively friendship. The departure of Captain Dickey for
 Memphis is taken to mean that there will
 be no more cases tried at this term of
 the Federal Court.
 Peonage indictments are outstanding
 against Pruet, Grogan, Haralson and oth-
 CT defendants. These cases will not be
 tried until the next term of the court,
 which begins in December. The petit jurors of the court were yesterday dis
 missed for the term.
 The civil docket of the Federal Court
 will be called late. Judge Jones said yes~ terday that the bar would receive due mo- tice as to the calling of the civil docket, When he is ready to call the civil docket
 Judge Jones said that all the lawyers
 would be notified.

The deeper a yachts keel. the more sta- ble she is in a high wind Ianxlev car- ries his ballast-that is, the machinery and live load-relatively lower than Max i'm did.
 As long ago as the autumn of lsas the Washington enthusiast began his attempts to fly model over secluded part Of ths Potomac. Nine secret excursions were made from the city without single sro- cess, the first trouble being with his launching system. Five more trials were made in the spring of 1894, with the same result. Tn October of that year he irn- proved the launching process, and then encountered new difficulties. The little aerodrome would either plunge O. rear fl, the most astonishing fashion. At length the inventor discovered that these freaks were due to the fiexlbility and bagginess of the cloth stretched on the wing frames. Even a momentary distortion of the level surface would make mischief.
 On May and November 2S, 1896, sue cessful trials were made with other light models On the first occasion the toy aerodrome travelled a minute and a half and covered about half a mile On the second trip 1t went a trifie further and achieved a speed of thirty miles an hour. Both times the model sank gently to the surface of the water and was unlnjured. The launch was effected from the ton oe a houseboat. which served the double purpose of transport and scanold
 The stretch of wings in the May model was 12 or 13 feet, the total length of the backbone 16 feet and the weight Of the machine only thirty pounds. The boiler and engine together weighed about seven pounds. the former contributing i've to that total and the engine only twenty six ounces. The latter was capable of developing one horsepower or more. Tt had two propellers, one on each side near ly amidships. The engine made from 800 to 1.200 revolutions.

SAYS HE MAKES GOLD
GOAL OF THE ALCHEMTsTs
 REACHED AT LAST.
Philadelphian Claims to Have Solved Prob-em-Finds Way to Change Silver Into Mellow Metal. Every Dollar of Bassr
 Metal Changed In-
 to Forty.

Philadelphia Special to Chicago Chronicle.
 Alchemy exists. Gold has been made the baser metals. The atom of science has been divided into its component ions and the ions reassembled in new combi- nations"
 The authority for these assertions is Rudolph Melville Hunter of West Phil adelphia, electrical expert and inventor.
 MT. Hunter asserts that he has trans- muted silver into gold 24 carats fine. He showed to a reporter last night a quantity of gold in the forms of grains. flakes and pellets that he said had been made from silver dollars.
 making gold in a secret workshop within the limits of Philadelphia. Hunter lives in luxuriously furnished home at 3710 Chestnut Street. He Is comparatively wealthy. has as his friends some of the wealthiest and most influential men in Philadelphia and Is well under the half century in years. Besides his numerous electrical inventions, he has been promi- nent in other fields of science.
 Associated with him in the transmuta- ton Of silver into gold are his sons and one outside assistant. A few wealthy and prominent Philadelphians are associated in financial way, but only for a small amount.
 Work of Transmutation Easy.
 AS ueSCFlDeu Dy MT. Hunter, SlLVer In Is treated by electrical and chemical ana mechanical processes The changing of silver into gold he asserts. Is compara- lively easy, because the metals are of the same group and resemble each other in atomic construction.
 The experiments of MT. Hunter have extended over period of eight years For many years he held to the theory that all matter Is constituted of the same units combined in varying numbers and under varying yelocitles. He set to work in 1895 to find the absolute unit of mat ter for the purpose of creating gold
 The discovery came about eighteen months ago, According to MT. Hunter he one day reduced a silver dollar to it's component ions. stilled their vibrations and by a succession of chemical electrical and mechanical treatments reassembled them into a new combination with a diff ferent synchronous vibration. The re- sultant metal was yellow. was affected only by aqua regia. in fact was gold with all of gold's reactions and values.
 One Dollar Makes Forty.
 When asked as to the relative values of the gold produced to the silver consumed he said: One dollar produces $40 of gold; that Is to say. an ounce of silver makes an ounce of gold. The weight of the gold is the same, but the specific gravity of the metal is changed from 10.4 to 1g.3 and
