 Some interesting experiments have just been conducted at Bienne, France, for testing the practical utility of cap tive military balloons against infantry of machine gun fire. The Paris scorre- spondent of the Newcastle Chronicle states that at height of eight hundred yards a few rife volleys suffices to shatter the balloon, the range, it shoud be stated, being known in advance. At an unknown altitude varying from HOO to 1000 yards no fewer than twen- ty-two trial shots were needed to fix the range. It was only the sixty-fourth volley that hit the balloon, without, however, doing it any apparent dam age. The experiments are regarded as showing that rife fire is not very eff fective, even against captive balloons, at uncertain ranges, and still less so against balloons that are not captive.
 Governor Jeff Davis of Arkansas, who has just won a big victory over his democratic opponent, Judge Woods, is a very skillful campaigner in the hill country. Among the fred necks'' he is very popular. When he goes among the hills he travels behind yoke of oxen, the popular mode of locomotion there, and calls every fred neck by name. During the week immediately preceding the last election, Governor Davis, driving a yoke of spotted oxen, reached the metropolis of one of the hill counties. He went into the hotel, and there found letter from his wife at the executive mansion in Little Rock He was still reading the letter when a party of his ''red neck" constituents came into the hotel office to greet him.

BOTH FACTIONS
AFTER ADDICKS
Believed That Senator Alice,
Real Union Leader, Will
Succeed Gasman

Among the other troubles OF j. Ed
ward Addicks. Of Delaware. IS "a fight
for his political life says a Washington
special In the Philadelphia Record to-
day Men who have been leaders In his
faction in Delaware have turned on him
and win endoavor TO oust him from the
membership in the Republican Nation
al Committee he now holds.
The Dupont. or Regular, faction Is
hot on his tran, and is endeavoring to
get into the good graces OF the Roose-
Welt organization, with the idea Of hav-
Ing the convention managers recognize
that faction FOR the National Commit
teeship Despite valuable denials, the
Addlcks faction itself does not want
the gasman 10 succeed himself, and viii
put up some other man for the place
probably Senator Alice.
IL is generally accepted here that Al
lee is now the real leader OF the Ad-
dicks contingent OF Delaware, and that
from the time Of the convention his
leadership viii be acknowledged pub
licly At present he and AddicSs oc-
cupy the same relative position in fac
tional politics IN Delaware as senator
Platt and Governor Odell do in New
York. Addicks IS nominally boss, but
Alice is the power.
With Addicks out OF the reckoning,
Delaware Republicans assert that not
since the inception Of the party strife
over the Senatorship, which began six
years ago, have there been better PROS
poets for peace in the party ranks. It
is predicted that with the assurance
that Addicks viii not be recognized as
the Union Republican leader. and with
Senator Alice at the helm, there will be
disposition manifested by both sides
90 come together and reach an amic-
able agreement which viii prevent fac
tional fights in the future.
The power OF the President win be
exerted 10 this end. and his friends
in the convention viii engineer and en-
courage amy proposition looking TO a
peaceful settlement OF the situation.
They regard such settlement as prob
able II Addicks can be eliminated.
Speaking OF the situation, Senator Ball.
of the Regular Republican faction,
said.
II feel the main fight between fac
tions at Chicago win be 10 get Addicks
or the National Committee. This will
be necessary before there Is any chance
for an argument. our faction has no
candidate for this place at present. but
we viii no doubt have "a man for the
committeeship by the time the conven-
tion meets We hone to put Addicks
down and out. Everything points TO
success.
Delaware win have two delegations
to the convention-one representing the
Regular and the other the Union fac
tlons. Both however win favor the
nomination of Roosevelt. The proba-
bility is that al this convention both
will be seated We won at st. Louis in
1896, while the Unions won at Philadel-
phia four years ago. Now it is in
tended. / believe, TO seat both delesa-
tions and give each delegation a vote.
With an arrangement like that in
view we ought to be able to put Ad-
dicks out OF political business in Della
ware"

WINTER DETERMINED I'd
LINGER IN LAP OF SPRING
Left Over Blast of Real
Winter, Including Snow,
Let Loose

1t is we'll enough for the poet to war
BILE about winter lingeSing in the lap
of spring, but that lingering caused the
people Of Wilmington a rude shock
yesterday after the balmy breezes and
friendly rays Of Old Sol of the few pre-
eeding days.
1t was a leftover blast of real winter
weather that detected the populace
yesterday. At o'clock snow began to
fall and though it didn't amount to
anything it left in its wake chilling
winds and lowering skies. The sun did
peep forth in the afternoon. but his
rays We're not sufficiently effulgent to
counteract the effects of winters last
fiing-at least. it is hoped that it will
prove to be winters last fling.
The weather today is no improve
ment over that of yesterday-it is
worse, if anything. The skies are over
cast and leaden and there is a nasty,
raw wind that cuts through and
through. Everybody is becoming tired
of the long drawn out weather and says
so. The ground hog. Hicks. the Read-
ing goose bone and other prophets have
had their predictions more than veri-
fed and now the people are ready to
welcome spring OF the real old-fash-
toned sort.
