but it was utterly useless. Prof. Manly,
who was in the navigator's car, at once
stopped the motor. He was much annoyed
by the accident and ordered the aerodrome
removed to the interior without attempting
any further tests.
His position was extremely per1lous, Tor
the machine vibrated frightfully while the
broken blade was cavorting against the

examination, when the clutch which held
the aerodrome on the launching ways,
and which should have released it at

to the launching ways, drew the aero
drome abruptly downward at the mo-
ment of release and cast it into the wa

that the machine failed for lack of power

engine, the frame and all the more i'm
portant parts were practically unin-

working order. The damage done was
confined to the slighter portions like the

sioners who negotiated the instrument.
An imperial decree by the Chinese gov
eminent has made the treaty effective
so far as that government is concerned,
but it must be ratified by the United
States senate before notifications can be
exchanged and the treaty put in opera
ton. Great satisfaction is expressed at
the state department at the outcome, as
it makes certain that the two ports in
Manchuria will be opened to the United
States no matter what the outcome as to
the negotiations for the evacuation Of
that territory by Russia may be. The
assurance that Russia has previously
given, and to which" this government
would insist upon adherence is that the
treaty arrangements made with China
covering Manchuria ports will be bind
ing upon the Russian government. "s
