TRIAL TRIP OF LANGLEY AiRSHiP
ENDS AT BOTTOM OF PO-
TOMAC RIVER.
SCIENTISTS HOPES SUDDENLY DASHED
MODEL SAFELY LAUNCHED But
COMES TO GRIEF WITHIN
A SHORT TIME.

Whitewater, Va, Aug. 10.-A partly
successful experiment with the fifteen
foot Langley airship was made during
the morning from the houseboat In the
Potomac river off this point. The air.
ship started well in straight line
south with a velocity OF seventy feet
per second and flew for distance
variously estimated at from l,40o TO
900 yards Some detection in the
wings soon after the launching caused
1t to take a downward course, which
she followed rapidly and was impelled
into the water under the full power
of her engine. There was sufficient
steam generated for rapid flight OF
half or three-quartcrs OF mile. IN
der the full pressure of this force the
machine struck the water and IN a
moment more had disappeared from
view. The machine was recovered,
siderably damaged. The machine was
removed to the houseboat. where ex-
tensive repairs will have to be made
before another test can be pulled off
The launching of the airship was
most successful. AT a given signal
the model was dispatched on Its Voy-
age The launching car was pulled
back to the leeward of the superstruc-
ture and
Sent Forward on Its Track
at a rapid velocity. When the windward
end was reached the machine shot
forth. A better launching could not
have been desired The Smithsonian
scientists believed that their highest
hopes were to be realized, but after
the first few seconds OF flight the
wings were detected and the lying
machine went downward until her
course was ended on the mud bottom
of the Potomac She was travelling at
a velocity OF about forty miles an hour
When the machine was raised from
the water a workman attempted TO
cover it with cloth, but for a long
time was unsuccessful. It's mechanism
and dimensions were painly seen from
the press boat, twenty feet away. 1t
was equipped with four wings, two on
each side about four by six feet, made
of the finest oil silk and held upon
delicate wooden rods. The wings
were shaped like tent. The body
consisted OF an intricate arrangement
of fine steel rods with cylinders, motor
and boilers carefully balanced. Be
tween the two sets of wings We're stu
atcd the propellels, two In number,
equipped with two blades. The steer
ing gear was situated at the rear and
was constructed from material ike
the wings.

Here are straightforward provi-

characterized as q travesty. except
by gross perversion of the true in

We enumerated at come length,
in our last issue, the various

place in such election, which are

The great aud only 9illmsn OF
Pitchfork fame has been among us
and the only expression made Is
that of a dark threatening shadow,
full of dire events happily ending
in nothing but bombsstic vspor-
incs. Mr.. Tillman was q decided
disappointment to many Iberians.
Owing to the exalted position as
South Csrolina's Senior Senator,
we had a right to expect some
thing that would reflect credit up
on that commonwealth and edify
and entertain Iberiana His TO
ference to Louisians's delegation
in Congress fell fiat on an au-
dience composed of Hon. X. +.
Broussard's friends, whose innate
refinement and courtesy prevented
q pronounced rebuke.-New lbe-
ria Enterprise.
Senator Tillman's remarks re-
garding the peculiar Democracy
of the Louisiana protectionist-De-
mocrat did not reflect particularly
upon Congressman Broussard, but
there was more truth than poetry
| in what be said. Though We may
question the propriety of Till
mans reference to the Louisiana
delegation in his New Iberia
speech we can not altogether fail
to appreciate the inconsistency OF
Democratic representatives voting
for measures which are conceded
ly and unquestionably Republican.
While We may be willing to for
give our representatives for occa-
sioual incursions into the enemy'e
camp for the sake of placating oul
sugar-teat friends, we cannot al
ford to be too touchy on the sub
Lafayette Gazette.

strict and searching it is, by de-
ltai'iug how many imsg!neble,

review the law from another point

v ,itice! perties which invoke it.
Political parties are not con.
+ strained by this law to resort to g
2 primary election to select theil

When are they going to start

of the questions that We have put
to us almost daily, and one which
can not be answered with any cer-
tainty by ourselves, nor we believe
by any other person at the present
time. pretty sooh' is about the
most definite answer that we have
heard 30 far, and even that lie inf
nitely indefinite to the minds of

we believe, that some powerful in

so.-Iberville South.

JUNKET
MEMBERS AND STATE Of
FlCERS IN RENO
They are Wined and Dined to
the Full Limit

Yesterday morning the members of
the Legislature and the State officers
returned from Reno<and they all had
the appearance of having been influ-
enced more or less by the lavish hos
pitality of Reno.
A member thus tells of the trip:
First we were steared up against
a Knights of Pythias ball and ban
quet We danced until nearly morn
ing and were stuffed up to our chins
with all kinds of good grub. The
dance was hot mix-up, and there
was more fun than barrel of mon
keys. Everybody was there and it
was just like a big family affair. Ev-
cry body was brother and sister. 1t
! was regular romp, just as free and
easy as you ever saw. We got to bed
in the morning. Then they routed us
up and we took in the Asylum. We
| went all over the place, and had some
refreshments and cigars with DIR. Pat
terson. Then we hit the race track
and looked at the buildings. but there
was no racing, and we bought no polls
Next we fell in on the University
and were there several hours. An
other big feed and speeches by Gov
ernor Sparks, Marion Wilson, Senator
Jackson and Tom Bell. Old Bell made
all hands laugh, and we had a gooG
time. Then at night we had a spread
and big feed at the Riverside
Oh, but this was a hot time. The
bill Of fare was yard long, and W,
had to eat it through. There were
lot of pretty waiter girls and thre'
kinds of wine Oscar Smith was run
ming the feed
The bill of fare had on plenty O
French, but the waiter girls talke
in English. Gosse was on the jumr
