Machine that Did EIy

DR.. August Greth. Of San Francisco,
accompanied by an assistant, started
in his airship on a trip to San Jose,
fifty miles south. The ascent was
made from the grounds in Eleventh
street, near Market, where the aerial
craft has been located for some time.
After reaching an elevation Of several
hundred feet, DR., Greth, the inventor,
who acted as %helmsman, caused the
vessel to circle about and move in va
rious directions, demonstrating that it
wa under his control. He hen headed
II south, almost directly against the
wind. and started on a Decline for San
Jose, at which city he hoped to make
a landing. The airship, obeying the
force OF its light motor, made good
progress and was soon out of sight.
After travelling about five miles some
slight arrangement Of the machinery
was discovered and the voyagers were
forced to make a landing.

III Y Reservoir IN wyoming

The secretary of the interior has set
aside, Professionally. the sum of ST.
O00,0 900 for the construction OF the
Pathfinder reservoir on the North
Platte river in Wyoming. Construc-
ton will proceed contingent upon ia
yorable reports from engineers in the
field as to various details still under
consideration and particularly as to
whether an adequate area of irrigable
land can be found In western Ne
ka. The reservoir will be of sufficient
capacity to supply all of the land I'M
der II in Wyoming, but 1t is consid-
cred necessary to increase this area
by utilizing water in western Nebras-
ka. where there are large areas OF
arid and semi-arid country to which
water probably can be brought.

The Japanese Make = Daylight Attack
and Succeed In Closing Up the
Fort Arthur Entrance

Russian losses at the battle of Kin
Lien Cheng were 1900 men and forty
officers, far greater than previous re-
ports indicated.
This is the official statement of Ma
jor General Kashtalinsky. who directly
commanded the division. that suffered
the brunt Of the attack and whose re-
port was received by the ear. Many
are inclined TO place the Russian
losses even higher. General Kashtalin-
sky mentions also that more than 700
wounded had arrived at Feng Wang
Cheng, and these may not he included
in his calculations. He made no at
tempt to estimate the Japanese losses
merely saying hat they must have
been colossal.
General Kashtalinsky's report estab-
fishes the fact that che Russians sus-
tanned the greatest loss in order to save
the two regiments which were occupy
ing An Tung.
The London Telegraph's correspond
ent declares that the entrance to Port
Arthur is absolutely sealed" and adds
that the japanese feet in effecting its
purpose steamed into the entrance at
full speed and that the naval officers
who made the two previous attempts
begged permission to carry out the
next attack by daylight, that being
easier, and their request vas granted.
80 determined were they to sue
ceed," adds the correspondent, that
they decided, if necessary. to lose half
their men. The number of casualties
sustained by the Japanese has not yet
been announced"
II Is pointed out that previous at
tempts had left the channel at Port
Arthur SO narrow that a couple of YES
sells sunk In the fairway would prob
ably suffice to seal up the entrance.
The reports which have been received
at Toxic Of the successful blocking of
the entrance to Port Arthur by the
japanese. coming on the heels of the
news Of the victory on the Yalu, has
stirred Toxic to another popular dem
} o%nstration.
