Aerial Craft Sails Three Miles and
Alights on, skyscraper at
Toledo; o. : -,

Toledo, o. July 1.-The most re-
markable flight ever made in an air
ship was performed Friday by A. R.
Knabenshue, who sailed through the
air distance of three miles, landed on
top of ten-story Office building in rs
minutes from time to- starting, and
then returned to the depot from which
he started! & IL. y t s5 II 4:
The day was ideal for the "daring
feat. A light wind was blowing from
the east, and Knabenshue sailed his
aerial craft directly in the face of this
wind. Two days ago he declared he
would sail downtown and alight on the
top of ten-story building. When he
left the starting place he directed the
ship straight for the city. When half
the distance had been covered an up
per current of air carried him up to a
distance of 5000 feet. But the nervy
director did not lose control of his,
machine for moment, and steered it,
directly for the heart Of the city. Bust
ness was entirely suspended and the
entire population gathered in the
streets to watch the course of the
ship. s4T@

The Kniaz Potemkine, which had
weighed anchor, started in the direction
Of Langeron Point, near Odessa. Every
one expected the immediate opening Of
an engagement, but instead long inter
changes of signals were begun, the mu-
tineers apparently parleying to obtain
favorable terms. Finally the battleship
stood in closer to the squadron, the YES
sells of which formed a circle around
her. Later the squadron resumed for
nation and headed out to sea, the Kniaz
Potemkine returning to her anchorage,
accompanied by the Ekaternia H., which
placed prize crew on board. The terms
of surrender cannot be learned, as boats
from the shore were not allowed to ap-
proach, but it is thought that the mu-
tineers received promises that the pun
ishment prescribed by the naval rules
would be mitigated to some extent. The
Ekaterina II. remains in the harbor
The city is still in state of feverish
anxiety. All the hotels are guarded
by troops, and further reenforcements
have arrived. All reservations on out
going trains have been taken for days
ahead. ~

John D. Rockefeller Donates the Sum
of $1o,ooo,ooo for Advancement

New York, July lien million dol
lars, as an endowment for higher edu-
cation in the United States, has been
given the general education board by
John D. Rockefeller. The announce
ment was made by DR.. Wallace But
trick, of the board, at a meeting Fri
day. In his statement the lattersaAys
that the present gift differs from Mr..
Rockefeller's first gift of $1,000, 900 10
the board In the following particulars:
The principal sum of the gift of s., OOO,-
900 made ON the organization Of the
board could be distributed. The pres
ent gift of $1O,O0O,0O0 is held as en-
downment, the income only being
available for distribution. The first
gift was designed to be used exclusive
ly in the southern states. The present
gift is for use not only in the south
ern states, but throughout the United
States without distinction of section.
The first gift could be used for COM
mon schools and secondary education.
The second gift is confined to higher
education and is designed specially for
colleges as distinguished from the
great universities, although there is no
prohibition in the letter of gift against
making contributions to universities.
Both gifts are alike available for de-
nominational schools as we'll as for
those which are nonsectarian. White
the funds may be employed for de-
nominational schools, they will be en-
ployed without sectarian distinctions.
If the fund proves to be as useful as is
now anticipated Mr. Rockefeller will
undoubtedly make large additions to it
in future years.

Cruel Act Causes Mutiny.
Reports of the mutiny, which oc-
Cured while the battleship was at sea,
are difficult to obtain, as the mutineers
refuse to allow communication with the
shore; but it is ascertained that 1t

ing to one version this sailor, whose
name was Omiltchuk, objected to the
quality of the 'borchtcht" or soup and
was Immediately shot down by mess
officer. The crew then rose and seized
the ship and the officers, eight of whom
were spared on condition that they
would join the mutineers. The others
