THAT BALLOON RACE.
mined.

The effort made by two competing aeronauts
Il few days ago 10 reach the vicinity of the ma
tiOnal capital from st. Louis resulted in n more
dismal failure than might have been 3ntici-
pated. 1t has been demonstrated repeatedly
that at certain elevation above the earth
strong current of air usually prevails, which
flows eastward at the rate of at least thirty
miles an hour. Had the balloons fairly entered
that stratum they would have been carried
nearly in the right direction. 1t might prob
ably have been necessary to make land
ing somewhere to the north of Washington, but
the proper distance-scarcely more than 700
miles-might easily have been traversed in
twenty-fOur hours. At the end of that period,
however, one of the airshipS had drifted only
about 200 miles, and the course which it had
taken would if sufficiently prolonged, have car
ried it into Wisconsin. The other balloon foated
TO the westward, and came down only thirty
miles or so from the starting point. 1t is hardly
supposable that the aeronauts were unfamiliar
with the atmospheric currents which have
served some of their professional brethren so
we'll hitherto. One is left TO conclude therefore,
that there was something wrong with their gas
supply, and that they were unable in conse-
quence TO rise as high they wished.
Few tears will be shed over the outcome of
the contest. The latter was simply childish in
conception. Had the airships been sef-pro-
peHed something OF Importance might have been
learned from keeping them afoat and in action
for several hours. Up TO the present time no
flying machine has made Il voyage lasting more
than an hour and three-quarters From a scien-
tific point Of view. the fate OF a balloon which
merely drifts is of no more consequence than
that Of an autumn leaf flying before a ten-knot
breeze. Again, no new records would have been
made had the aeronauts who engaged in this
recent race come anywhere near their objective
point, the Washington Monument. As long ago
as lSJ9 John Wise made Il continuous journey
in balloon from st. Louis to Jefferson County
y. \. The distance between these places in
straight line is not far from 900 miles-or near
ly 200 miles more than that between St Louis
and WashinSton-and owing TO the irregularity
of the course which he was obliged TO follow II
is believed that Wise travelled fully 1,15O miles
There Is reason to think that slightly more
brilliant feat was performed about four years
ago. The Count de In VaulX embarked at one
OF the suburbs Of Paris. Vincennes and landed
at kOrostichef Russia, almost 200 miles away

protected open. 1t may be that to let the Jap
anese surround Lao Yang would have been to
run the risk Of having the whole Russian army
captured. In that case it would seem to have
been better to retreat nOrthward some time
ago. 1t does not seem good policy TO estab-
lish an elaborate fertilization unless it is TO be
defended But certainly now TO abandon the
fortress and take TO the open plain is to run
fearful risk Of being Overtaken, surrounded
and destroyed there. The Russians concede
that 'the great issue" is likely to be decided
forthwith. If they prefer to fight it out in
the open. rather than behind some of the most
formidable Notifications in that part of the
world, they are welcome TO their choice. At
this distance it seems like a most disad-
vantaGeous choice which no army should make
save under inevitable necessity

VAR VIEUS OF EXPERTS.
No Conclusire Victory Yet for Jap
anese at Lao Yang.
LFRoM THE TRIBUNE RUREAu.


Washington. Sept. 2.-Oficers Of the general
staff continue to study with intense interest
news from the scene of the Russo-Japanese con-
fict about Lao Yang They are of the opinion
that it is still too early TO form any idea as
to the outcome OF the fighting there. and the
impression prevails that. while the Russians
may have met with reverse. this by no means
makes a conclusive victory for the Japanese
The best analysis of the news from both Rus
sian and japanese sources indicates that Gen
eraI Kuropatkin found it advisable to withdraw
from Liao-Yang to the right side OF the Tai-Tse
River. He had only three bridges across which
TO retreat. and there is doubt that they were
insufficient to accommodate the fleeing Rus
SLAMS SO closely were the Russians pursued by
the Japanese that they were unable 20 retire in
order. and the greatest confusion probably pre-
vailed among the troops unable to escape across
the river. The Japanese. flushed with success.
appear TO have been hurled upon the panic
stricken enemy. and it is the belief here that
later reports will show enormous Russian
ualties as the result of this movement
Russian reports make it appear that General
Kuropatkin fell back for the purpose OF draw
ing a part of the japanese force across the river
II his retirement was prearranged it seems to
have succeeded in dividing the Japanese forces,
as General Kuroki is reported to have crossed the
Tai-Tse to attack the Russian rear The mill
tary experts say that unless General Kuroki is
we'll supported by the main japanese forces. his
division consisting of artillery. cavalry and in
fantry. may have TO face the whole Russian
army the right bank of the river. IT, OH the
other hand the Japanese are able to cOncen-
trate their forces and continue vigorously 10
pursue the Russians they may completely rOut
General Kuropatkins forces and drive them TO
Moukden.
Army officers are particularly interested in the
reports that the ra;lr~id line from Lao Yang 10
MOukden has been cut, and they express the be-
lief that the most serious feature OF the enItre
operations is the absence of news from Lao
Yang and General KurOpatktn's army If a
sufficiently large Japanese force has been able
to interpOSe itself between the Tetreating RuS-
slams and Moukden. then, indeed, is the sttua-
tiOn intensely serious. and unless General Kuro-
patkin succeeded in cutting his way out he
might be forced to surrender.

CANADA AND AMERICAN TRADE

The Mail and Empire" of Toronto, has
been scanning trade returns for the last fiscal
year and is not little perturbed at the dis
coveries it has made in that field of figures.
1t finds that Canadian imports from the United
States for 10000 aggregate $150,S26,526. an
increase over the preceding year, in round
numbers, Of $13.G00O00. As shown also by
the following table this is merely part of a
line of advance in recent years which tells its
own story of the rapid increase of Canadian
imports from the United States:
New-York tribune., 1904-09-03

AS will he seen from "The Mai! and En-
pires" table, since 1895 Americans have nearly
trebled their exports to Canada
THE Montreal STAR has also been looking
over trade returns, and it also, like its To
rOntO contemporary, is much troubled over the
outlook. 1t finds that while trade with the
United States has rapidly increased in both
exports and imports, that with the mother
country has fallen off in the same proportion
Each, however, proposes its own remedy for
this situation, which both look upon as un-
satisfactory If not actually alarming as TO fut-
ure possibilities The Mail and Empire"
calls for a Canadian policy" or i'm other
words, an effective protective policy against
these trade encroachments of its southern
neighbor Especially does it call for protec-
tiOn for Canadian manufacturers as two-thirds
of Canada's entire imports from the United
States are manufactured articles "The Star"
on the other hand, sees the best security
against American trade invasion and the
dwindling British compared with growing
American trade in Mr. Chamberlaln's imperIal
ideas. 1t says: Nothing can stop this steady
Americanization of our trade except a franI,
and effective preference for our goods at
British ports That is to say, 'Dothan's
dreamer" must persuade his brethren to dream
with him of putting good English shillings
into Canadian. Australian, South African
and perhaps Egyptian and Indian pockets in
fulflment of his dreams THE Montreal
Star" while hoping for the realization of Jo-
seph's dream sees clearly some Of the diff
culdes In the way of realizing its imperial
programme and goes TO the root of the matter
when it says:
1t is not only easier for the American to shin
his goods 10 US, but he can more conveniently
study our tastes and can more quickly meet
any change in demand which may arise among
us. Then, the Americans mix very freely with
our people, and it is inevitable that we should
mutually influence each other. Further we
read American magazines. with their American
advertisements. and il is nonsense TO pretend
that these things do not have an effect
'"rhe Stars" presentment of the facts which
make for trade increase with the United
States needs neither addition nor comment.
