upon an inspection of the car after

was the attempt made Tuesday night to
rout monster democratic meeting at
the Essex Troop armory, where Judge
Parker was the principal speaker. The
great building, with capacity said to
be more than two-thirds that of Madi-
son Square Garden in New York, was
filled, and at the first mention of the
present administration and the name of
President Roosevelt, hundreds broke
forth with terrific cheering and for sew
eral minutes it appeared as though the
democrats were in the minority. The
scene that followed was one of unimagin-
able confusion. Kisses and cheers were
mingled. Words in anger and threats
were heard and the police were power
less to control. Finally, the democrats
by sheer force of numbers and their
great volume of sound, drowned out
their adversaries. The disturbance oc-
Cured before Judge Parker reached the
hall.
When Judge Parker finally reached
the platform he was given an ovation
equal in intensity to that at Madison
Square Garden Monday night. Through.
out his speech he was accorded marked
attention. He discussed the tariff ant
the trusts, and strongly denounced tn,
campaign methods of the opponents O.

the cheering thousands, after flight
of SO minutes. On Monday Knaben-
shue took the airship up to an alti.
tude of 1000 feet and, circling around,
descended in the aerial concourse with
in 100 feet of his starting point. On
Tuesday he went up to an altitude of
about 900 feet and, after directing
the course of his aerial vessel at will,
descended on the exact spot upon
which he had decided to land. Owing
to the large crowd gathered with
in the concourse enclosure, Inventor
T. S. Baldwin admonished Knabenshue
at the start not to attempt to land in
the concourse, but to choose some spot
without and near by where he would
not be in danger of striking specta-
tors. Knabenshue chose the Stadium
enclosure and came down just as he
intended to do. Satisfied with the
demonstrations of the airship over
short courses during these two trials,
Inventor Baldwin announced at the
conclusion of the flight that Knaben-
shue will to-day undertake 15-mile
flight over a designated course, the
choice of the course to be left to news
paper men, and the flight to be made
regardless of the wind conditions
During the flight Knabenshue caused
the Arrow to perform series of ma
neuvers, shooting in one direction for a
short distance, ,turningquicklya and shoot
ing off in the opposite direction, traversed

down several hundred feet, tilted the
PROV and ascended again to the original
altitude, and completed the series by
turning the airship in such a short
space that it seemed the vessel swung
round on a pivot. The thousands OF
spectators looked on in silence, and
when Knabenshue again tackled to the
northwest they cheered him so Justify
that he waved back his acknowledg-
ment.

Washington, Nov. 2.-Secretary Hay

Satisfaction in France.
Paris, Nov. 2.-The news of the sign
ing Of the arbitration treaty between
France and the United States in Wash
ington is received here with the warm
est expressions of approval, particu-
larly in government circles, where the
treaty is regarded not as a strong bond
between the two republics, but also as
an important extension of Foreign
Minister Delcasses series Of peace
treaties. The initiative was taken over
a year ago when Baron d'Estournelles
de Constant, the leader of the French
arbitration movement, wrote to Presi-
dent Roosevelt expressing the hope
that the Anglo-French entente might
have as a sequel Franco American
entente. President Roosevelt ex-
pressed his hearty approval, saying
that Secretary Hay would take up the
question
In the meantime, Foreign Minister
Delcasse and Ambassador Porter went
over the subject here, and Secretary
Hay and Ambassador Jusserand
opened preliminary negotiations. The
French officials were favorable
throughout and regretted postpone
ment owing to the question over Span
ish ratification. When Ambassador
Jusserand was here recently M. Del
casse again conferred with him on the
subject. Since the ambassadors re-
turn to Washington reports indicated
that former difficulties had been re-
moved, and the news of the signing
of the treaty brings the realization of
what the officials had long desired.
