BALDWIN GETS
AIRSHIP PRIZE
Entirely Successful Flight of CAL
ifornian's Dirigible Balloon
Made at ST. Louis.
REACHES HEIGHT 1000 FEET
Guided With Ease and Makes HeadWay
Against Wind, Returning to
Starting Point.

St Louis, Mo, Nov. An airship
scared easily over the fence of the
aeronautic concourse at the worlds
fair grounds yesterday afternoon, and
then sailed in circles and figure eights
1000 feet above the cascades. At the
end of half an hour of evolutions it
went back TO the concOurse directly
against an eight-mile breeze, and
alighted nicely almost on the exact
spot from which it started.
The airship was that of Capt. Thorn
as S. Baldwin, and was operated by
a. Roy Knabenshue, of Toledo, Ohio,
who made a partially successful ascent
last week.
On this occasion the motor did its
duty, and at all times the craft was
under the complete control of the op-
orator.
Sails Back to Starting Place.
Knabenshue started from the aero
nautic concourse at 3:37 p. m. and re-
turned after his remarkable flight at
4:05 p. m. On the return trip the air
ship sailed slowly over the exact spot
from which it had risen 2S minutes
previously and glided about 100 feet
further west, where it settled grace
fully to the ground.
The descent of the Arrow was the
signal for a demonstration. and dozens
of eager hands were upstretched to
grasp the frame of the airship, and
the flying machine. with its daring nav
igator. were carried around the con-
course upon the shoulders of shouting
men.
Wins Prize of $500.
BY the successful flight of the Ar
row, Capt. Baldwin was the first man
to claim the $500 prize offered by the
exposition company to the airship
which makes a continuous trip to the
plaza St. Louis and return. The cas-
cades are considered part of the plaza

country" he declared: THAT cry
wells up from the throats of men whose
interest it is TO preserve untouched
statutes which permit them to collect
tribute from he people, or who are in
terested in combinations organized to
prevent competition" He discussed
the question of foreign trade at some
length. Our natural resources. the
industry, the enterprise and ingenuity
of our people. our ability to command
efficient labor from every quarter of
the globe and strength and flexibility
of institutions founded for us on strong
and right lines. all combine to fit us
for supplying an almost infinitely in
creased demand for our products.
VIII Not Win Trade.
But foreign trade cannot be won by
a people which consents to put itself
into the leading strings of second child
hood. 1t cannot become the heritage
of manufacturers who must be paid a
bounty, in order that they may mulct
their own countrymen. 1t is not TO be
won by selling at home at prOhivitive
prices which check consumption and
thus lessen production, merely that
products made by the same workman
in the same factories may be sold. with
freight paid. thousands of miles away,
for a fifth, a quarter. or third less.
The world does furnish a parallel
for the skill of our workmen. The in
ventive ingenuity of our people is I'M
equalled. 1t has so developed labor
saving machinery as to cheaper the
cost of production. What We need to
do is to cultivate foreign markets for
manufactured products. thus enabling
our mills to run to their full capacity,
thereby securing steady employment
for our workmen. That policy was
suggested in that last and great speech
of President Mckinley. which has trOu-
bled stand patters' ever since. Its de-
velopment requires that imported raw
materials required by our manufacture
ers shall be obtained on most favor
able terms. and ii demands that we
shall cultivate agreeable relations with
all foreign countries.
