MOTOR WOULDN'T WORK
ON THE AER0DR0ME.
Another FruitIess Effort to Make
the Air Ship Sail.

Whitewater, Va, Sept efforts to-
siXty-foot man-carryiag aerodrome had
to be abandoned at o'clock this even
ing, owing to the failure of the gaso-
line motor to work properly.
For four hours Prof. Charles NJ. Man
ly, the inventors right-hand man, la
bored hard to get the machinery in
shade. He was unsuccessful. The trou-
BILE was caused by a broken valve in
the engine. When Prof. Langley at
last reluctantly called the experiment
off, the aerodrome was returned to the
interior of the house boat. The In
ventor then made the following state
ment:
The work of the afternoon has been
a great disappointment to us all. The
failure to have an experiment was
caused by the discovery of broken
valve in the motor. This can be re-
paired, think, during the forenoon to-
morrow"
When the signal was given by firing
a skyrocket from the house boat, to APP
ply the motive power to the machine,
Prof. Manly tried in vain to get his en-
CINE in opera ton. Several subsequent
'HP'9 NS1S iiduS- OIiCe lHe pro-
pellers were got going for five min
utes, but the revolutions, instead of
reaching 1000. did not exceed 500, and
work was very irregular.
Prof. Manly was attired in a light
costume when he entered the aero
nauts cabin. He wore a pair of white
duck trousers. His jacket was padded
with cork, to assist in keeping him
above water at the termina ton of the
flight. Attached to his left knee was
a watch to register the exact time of
starting and the duration of the flight.
throughout tine whole of the trying or
deal he appeared remarkably cool and
composed.

HILL AGAINST TRUSTS.
Their Defense, He Says. Cannot Be
Found in Holy Writ.

Nyack, N. Y, Sept. 3.-Former Sen
ator David B. Hill addressed 5000 per-
sons at the Rockland County Fair in
New city to-day. Regarding combina-
tions Mr. Hill said:
Il do not find anything in Holy
Writ which contemplates the accu-
mutation of wealth through the instru-
mentality of gigantic corporate trusts

mate competitions in trade, or the
creation of monopoly in business or
anything that authorizes the watering
of any stock, except live stock, upon
our farms, or anything that justifies
the enrichment of men except through
the old fashioned and scriptual meth
DDS of earning that which they shall
possess.

capital which have been formed IL re-

board, reached the petroleum tanks on
Sunday and caused a terrific explos-

took to the boats during a violent
storm. One boat with six occupants
drifted away, and was not seen after
wards. 1t is supposed that she was
swamped in the high seas.
The weather continued so bad that
the survivors in the other boats took
refuge again on the Klampenborg on
Monday evening. On Tuesday they had
to take to the boats again and were
at the point of exhaustion when they
were rescued.

NOTHING FROM THE EAST.
state Department Is Shy of News
From Turkey.

Washington, Sept. 3.-For two days
the State Department has been without
advices from Turkey, except a brief
dispatch from Minister Leishman, tell
ing of the Porte's warning to the en-
bassies The position Of the Washing
ton government continues unchanged
in regard to the Turkish questions.
1t is expected that the Brooklyn and
San Francisco will arrive off Beirut
tomorrow and the Machias off Port
Said. Upon arrival there their COM
manders will cable full reports about
the situation. Upon the character of
these advices and the expected report
of Minister Leishman will depend the
programme of the State Department.
AS there is ne intention on the part
of this government to become involved
in the Eastern question, 1t is desired
that the ships shall go their way as
soon as their mission is fulfilled.

ENGLAND HAS ENOUGH.
Seems to Understand She Cannot
Outsail the United States.

SechS 10 UnOersIanO She cannot
OutsaiI the United States.
London, Sept. S-The final defeat of
Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger,
Shamrock III, was received in London
with absolute listlessness. Most of the
afternoon papers published a special
edition, announcing the result of the
cup race, but the announcement had
already been discounted by the dis
patches giving the progress of the race.
The consensus of opinion is that Sir
Thomas Upton has done everything
that time and money could accom-
plish, and widespread sympathy for
him is shown. The chief hope ex-
pressed in the streets is that Canada
will enter the lists next year and pos
sibly succeed where the Mother Coun-
try has failed. 1t seems improbable
that, in view of the failure of Sham
rock Ill another challenger will soon
be dispatched from England.

RAIL WAY OFFICIALS
ARE HELD NOT GUILTY
They Were Not Responsible for the
Crossing Accident.

They Were Not Responsible for the
Crossing Accident.
Newark N. j., Sept. 3.-Chief JUS
tice Gummere. in the Essex County
Court of Oyer and Terminer, to-day
announced that he had decided to grant
the motion for the dismissal of the in
dictment for manslaughter against the
directors and officials of the North
Jersey Street Railway Company who
were accused of having, by alleged neg
lest of their duties, caused the death
of Ernestine Miller. Miss Miller, who
was high school pupil, was killed
with eight others in the Clifton avenue
crossing accident on Feb. 10.
The motion to dismiss the indictment
was made at the trial yesterday by
Richard V. Lindabury, of counsel for
the defendants. In instructing the
jury to find a verdict of not guilty the
chief justice said that in order to hold
the defendants criminally responsible
1T must be shown that they had failed
to perform some specific act. This.
the state had failed to do, he said
The chief Justice referred to the
rules of the North Jersey Street Rail-
way Company as laid down to it's EN-.
ployes as sufficient safeguards under
ordinary circumstances, if they had
been carried out. He said that from
the evidence it was apparent that if
sand had beeen used, as called for by
the rules. and had the car been stop
ped thirty feet from the crossing, as
the rules called for, and had the con-
ductor gone ahead to the crossing to
signal the motorman, the accident
would not have happened.
Justices Van SICKLE and Dixon both
concurred in the opinion of Chief JUS
tice Gummere.
The jurymen announced a verdict of
not guilty without leaving their seats.

London. Sept. 3.-The rate of discount
Of the Bank of England was increased
to-day from 8 to 4 per cent The rise
in the bank rate was attributed mainly
to the withdrawal of gold for the re-

loan, and, to a lesser degree, to the
demands for gold from Berlin.
The action of the bank officials was a
great surprise to the Stock Exchange

thought the rise in the bank rate
