England Wants Americas Great AID.
miraI to Sit on North Sea
Settlement Board.

ST. Petersburg. Nov. 4.-The Associ-
lated Press can authoritatively an
snounce that the basis for q British-Rus-
isian agreement to submit the North
lsea incident to a commission, insures
IAN amicable settlement without a Sc
Quel. The understanding is complete.
Now that the smoke has cleared away
Ut is possible TO state that Great Britain
idisclaimed any intention Of trying to
sdetain the Russian squadron, which
could only be interpreted as a hostile
act. 1t was never intimated to Russia
that Rojestversky's recall would be de-
Emanded and Great Britain never asked
that Russia pledge herself to the pun
lishment Of any one. So far as future
complications are concerned, the incl
dent is regarded as closed.
1t is now regarded as lmost certain
the commission will sit in Paris and be
icomposed OF five naval officers, one
Russian and one British. each power
Ito choose another member. and the four
TO select the fifth. There is a strong In
Itimation that Great Britain will invite
admiral Dewey to be one of the COM
mjsSioners.

AlRSHlP ESCAPES.
After an Unsuccessful Trial Trip
Against Time Baidwin's "Arrow"
Takes French Leave.

ST. Louis, Nov. Awhile Captain
Baldwin of San Francisco, inventor of
the California Arrow" airship, n
several assistants were returning the
airship from the place Ii landed In St.
Louis county, after its unsuccessful
flight, to the worlds fair a~eronautic
the lead rope was dragged
through the hands OF Baldwin's as
sistants and the airship broke loose
and scared into the air. When last
seen h airship was drifting rapidly In
IA northwesterly direction.
The airship escaped at S:15 o'clock
last night just as the persons towing
Il into the concourse had reached the
immediate vicinity Of the place. There
was a trolley line TO be crossed and In
order to pass the prov Of the craft over
the trolley wire and catch the down
hanging rope and then release the rope
that hung from the ear In the dark
ness the men manipulating the ropes
miscalculated and both the front and
rear ropes were released at the same
time. In a twinkling the buoyant air.
ship, from which had been taken
twenty-five pounds of ballast, and
which was not even encountered with
Aeronaut Knabenshue, shot up and
was gone. In the dim light projected
by the nearby electric lamp the yellow
balloon doomed distinctly but for
enough space of time TO show that
the light wind was carrying 1t toward
the northwest.
There was absolutely nothing for
Baldwin, Knabenshue and the other
members OF the party to do but accept
the situation and make the best of 1t.
After some little discussion as to the
probable length of time that the supply
of gas would sustain the airship Bald
win stated that he believed the AR
row" would descend to the ground
within an hour. The party then pro-
ceeded to the ~concourse, where the an
nouncement that the airship had es-
capped caused general CONSERVATION
among the crowd that had remained
expecting to see the ARROW" brought
back.
At III o'clock nothing had been heard
regarding the probable location of the
airship, which Baldwin felt that by
that time had landed through con-
densation of the gas, and he decided
not to look further for N tidings. He
considered it probable that word would
be received during the early morning
that the airship had been found, In
which event 1t will be conveyed TO the
~concourse without delay and made
ready for anothe trip. The trip, how
ever, cannot be made until the end OF
the week, even If the airship is min
jured. as 1t will require some little
time to initiate the balloon.
What was to have been a speed dem
onstration around a prescribed quad
triangular course of about fifteen miles
developed into a drifting exhibition,
the Arrow" finally landing In a corn
field four miles west OF the a~eronautic
at the worlds fair after the
motor had been disabled by an exhaust
cap again blowing off when the vessel
had resumed It's fight after the first
breakdown had been repaired.

of District 5 Under Amusement.

The hearing of the petition Of ~
residents of school district No. ) to
divide the district was heard before
superintendent Myers yesterday after
noon. A remonstrance to the division

claimed the question was purely one of
taxation and that the division pro-
posed divided the taxable properly m
proportion to the school attendance.
In regard to the debt outstanding
against the district superintendent
Myers ruled that this would not be at
fected by any division, but would lay
against the property owners in the
original district No. ).
Superintendent Myers took the case
under advisement for ten days untli
