AIRSHIP GETS AWAY
BALDWIN'S CALIFORNIA ARROW
STARTS ON A JOURNEY WITH
OUT AN OPERATOR.

st. Louis, Nov. 1.-Two accidents
Wednesday prevented the long dis
lance trial flight arranged by Captain
Thomas S. Baldwin of San Francisco,
to test the staying powers of his air
ship, the California Arrow, and what
was to have been a speed demOnstra-
tion around prescribed quadrangular
course of about fifteen miles, develop
ed in drifting exhibition, the Arrow
finally landing in cornfield four
miles west of the aeronautic con-
course at the worlds fair after the
motor had been disabled by an exhaust
cap again blowing off when the YES
sci had resumed its flight after the
first breakdown had been repaired.
The first accident resulted in the
Arrow being brought to the ground
about a mile and half northeast of
the concourse. The airship was COM
manded by A. Roy Knabenshue of To-
ledo, @. When the repairs had been
made after the first mishap, Knaben-
shue drove the airship almost back to
the concourse, but again the cap blew
off and the helpless craft was carried
four miles away into cornfield.
While Captain Baldwin and several
assistants were returning the dlrSnp
from the place it landed in ST. Louis
county, after it's unsuccessful flight, to
the worlds fair aeronautic concourse,
the airship broke loose and drifted
away.
The airship escaped at SIS, just as
the persons were towing it into the
concourse with an automobile. There
was a trolley line to be crossed and it
was necessary to pass the PROV of the
craft over the trolley wire and catch
the down hanging rope and then re-
lease the rope that hung from the rear.
In the darkness those manipulating the
ropes miscalculated and both the
front and rear ropes were released at
the same time. In a twinkling the
buoyant airship, from which had been
taken Is pounds of ballast and which
was not even encountered with Aero
naut Knabenshue, shot up and was
gone.
Baldwin stated that he believed the
Arrow would descend to the ground
within a hour.

BOTH COUNTRIES SATISFIED.
Negotiations Between Britain and
Russia Progressing Smoothly.

London, Nov. 3.-The negotiations
between the British and Russian gov
ernments in regard to the international
commission which is to arbitrate the
North sea incident are apparently
progressing to the satisfaction of both
sides
At the foreign Office it was stated
that nothing had been decided on as
to the personnel or date of meeting 1t
was stated that several powers would
be asked to send representatives, but
what powers or how many representa-
tives could not be stated So far as
determined, Admiral Sir Cypian
Bridge would sit only at the board of
trades Hull inquiry.
The foreign Office further stated that
1t knows of no hitch in the proceed
ings. Both countries were elaborat-
ing the details of the commission, but
there was no hitch in the proceedings.

cPINn,N OF LONDON PAPERS.
Reason Why Russia Was Not Repre-
sented at the Hull Inquest.

Senteo at tne 0uIi inquest
London, Nov. 3.-Some of the morn
ing newspapers consider the facT that
Russia was not represented at the
coroner's inquest at Hull Wednesday
as a virtual admission of her inability
to controvert the fishermen's plain, un-
vanished story of the North sea af-
fair
The suggested composition of the
international commission is accepted
by the newspapers as satisfactory and
as likely to ensure the matter being
thoroughly investigated.
1t is announced from Gibraltar that
the experimental land and sea mobili-
cation is now concluded.
1t is reported that the Channel,
Mediterranean and East Indian squad
rons have received instructions to
shadow Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet
throughout its passage.

ON HER OFFICIAL TRIAL TRIP
Cruiser West Virginia Exceeds Speed
Called for In Contract.

Boston, Nov. 3.-With perfect wealth
er and sea conditions, the armored
cruiser West Cirginia Wednesday
went over the Cape Ann course for her
official four-hour speed trial, and de-
veloped an average speed of 22.14
knots per hour. The contract with
the United States government called
for sustained average speed for
four hours of % knots per hour.
The officials of the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Drydock company,
builders of the warship, had hoped the
ship would accomplish better time, but
the port engine could not reach the
highest speed attained by the star
board engine and this affected, in a
considerable degree, the, average.

RUSSIANS ARE UNEASY
MILITARY SITUATION IN MAN
CHURIA is THE CAUSE OF
THEIR WORRY.
SIEGE NEARING CONCLUSION
BELIEVED THAT FALL OF PORT
ARTHUR CANNOT BE VERY
FAR DISTANT.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 3.-There is
considerable uneasiness over the mill
tary situation. Nothing has been
heard from Mukden. General Sakaha-
roff's telegram of Oct. 81 stated that
everything was quiet on the Shakhe
river. The Japanese had made some
tentative moves on both tanks, which
were checked, but there are no signs
yet of general advance by their army.
Foreign reports from Port Arthur
are decidedly gloomy while the au-
thorities continue to profess conf
dence in General Stoesseps ability to
hold out, the popular feeling is that
the Port Arthur garrison, which has
made an heroic defense, must now be
near the limit of human endurance.

DESPERATE FIGHTING.
Toxic Reports Operations in Front of
Port Arthur.

Toxic Reports Operations in Front Of
Port Arthur.
Toxic, Nov. 3.-The official reports
of the Port Arthur operations since
Aug. l form a recital of almost contin-
uous fighting of a desperate nature.
The Russians first struggled desper-
ately to block every Japanese advance
and then met the concentrated artil-
lery fire of the Japanese with it's kind.
Latterly since the Japanese began run
ming parallels and traverses and ex-
tending mines the Russians have been
constantly making sorties. They
rushed into the Japanese trenches and
engaged in ferocious struggles with the
engineers and pioneers. With desper-
ate courage the Japanese continued to
close in upon the fortress, progressing
stage by stage. The Japanese infantry
never failed to respond when asked to
make an assault on almost impossible
positions and when the troops gained
a foothold they generally held it with
unflinching determination.
