WELLMAN'S PLANS TO
Reach POLE IN BALLOON
PROJECT ATTRACTING WIDE
SPREAD ATTENTION IN
PARIS.

To Establish a Base at Danes Island
VIII Make Ascent From Very Spot
Where Andre Made His Fatal Attempt
Balloon Rapidly Nearing Compile
tiOD in France.
Paris, May 12.-The early departure
of Walter Wellman, the American ex-
plcrer, and his party for Spltzbergen,
IN accordance with his plan to endeavor
to reach the North Pole by means Of a
dirigible balloon, is attracting wide
spread attention here among aeronauts
and men of science. This attention has
been increased by Mr. Wellmans an
nouncement that he intends to establish
q base at Danes Island, and begin his
ascent on the very spot where Andre
inflated his balloon. The first section OF
his party under, Major Hersey, viii
leave Paris in few days, rendezvou-
ing at Tromsoe until June 1, and then
proceeding on the Arctic steamer FIRTH
jof to Spitzbergen, where Major Hersey
will direct the construction of head
quarters, machine shops, gas plant and
balloon she'd The balloon shed will be
the largest ever constructed, owing to
the enormous dimensions of Mr.. Well
mans dirigible machine. Major Her
sey's advance party will consist of
Alexander Liewantaal, chemist and gas
engineer; Dr. w. N. Fouler of Indiana,
surgeon; Felix Biesenberg, assistant
navigator, and Francis H. Buzzacott,
Commissary
Mr.. Wellman will follow June 23 with
the balloon, and the remainder of his
party, consisting of Maxwell Smith,
wireless telegraph expert, who will es-
tablish a wireless station at Spitzber-
gen; Castor Hervieu, aeronaut, and
John Colardo, and two assistant aero
nauts.
The balloon is rapidly nearing COM
pletion, and Mr.. Welman and Con-
structor Goddard will soon, invite aero
nautic engineers to inspect the motors
screws and mechanical parts Of the
machine. 1t will be impossible to in
fate 1t here as there is no shed large
enough to house such a monstrous air
ship.
MAYOR I1eTsey is AaephliS ud4ly pd1-
loon ascensions, and has had several
dangerous experiences, his ballon once
falling in the top OF q tree from which
it was dislodged with difficulty.
Professor Jannsen, director of the
Meudon observatory, who also is IA
1niliar with aeronautics, after having
examined into Mr.. Wellman's plans,
said:
TT is a practical project and you
have a good chance to succeed.
Andre visited Jannsen before his ILL
fated trip, and the professor is said
to have warned him that 1t was not
exploration he was undertaking but
suicide.

THE RELIGION WE NEED.
PRACTICAL SERM ON PREA CEED
REV, j. DE WOLF PERRY.

PerpIexing Issues Between Right and
Wrong Usages and True and False
Beliefs Ably Discussed---The Desire
of the World To-day IL for Religion
fPure and UndefiIeds---It is the Only
Authority which VIII Finally Com
vince Men of the Question Most Per-
sistently Pressed for an Answer.
Rev. J. DeWolf Perry at st. Poul's
church yesterday preached very in
teresting sermon, pertinent to the pres
ent discussion on church matters. He
spoke as follows from the text, James
1:27; Pure religion and undefled,
There come titrning points in the life
of nations and of churches when per-
picking issues between right and wrong
usages, or true and false beliefs, require
earnest men and women to look into the
foundations of religion Such a crisis
has been reached in our own time.
Problems have arisen which need some
thing more than the fine distinctions
of the casuist, They cannot be solved
by compromising between the course of
reason and the old paths of tradition.
Neither can they he set one side by the
confident assumption of authority. Men
are beginning to ask ultimate ques-
tions. These questions are occasioned
by the problems of the church, of labor,
and indeed of all our social life. Out
of all the ferment Of the present in
dustrial controversy there has been
heard, whispered family, but growing
clearer and more pressing every day,
the anxious query, what verdict, If any,
may be found for these conflicting
claims in the eternal law of God, Is
there q conception of religion which
will overcome selfiishness and blind
ambition, appealing to the noble in
stinets in the souls of men? So also in
the discussions that have arisen about
social Institutions handed down and
hallowed by the past, $**
Between these and countless more
contending claims no compromise will

TELEPHONES GALORE.
Nearly Three Million and Half in Use
Last Year.

Washington, May 2O.-In a special re-
port on telephones and telegraphs the
census bureau shows that on January
l, 1905, the number of telephones for the
United States was 100000 and the
number for Europe 1,4S5,7S4. The re-
port speaks of the effect Of the tele-
phone in reducing or checking the
amount of telegraph business. It says
that the rates Of the two systems for
medium distances do not differ greatly,
and for very long distances they are
overwhelmingly in favor Of the tele-
graph if the message be taken as a
unit; but if the number of WorGe ex-
changed be taken into account, as we'll
as the time required for getting into
communication, the telegraph is at a
disadvantage in case Of large amount
of traffic.
The report says the public employs
the telegraph at the rate Of only little
more than once year per capita,
whereas the number Of telephone mes
sages is already sixty-fve per capita.

GAMING HOUSE RAIDED.
Another Successful Haul by Sergeant
Gibson ON Commerce Street.

Four police officers under the leader
ship of Sergeant Gibson descended upon
a gaming house at 224 Commerce street
about 10 oclock last evening and cap
tured six frequenters. Those arrested

Saturday evening Captain Woodruff,
at the central police station, received a
letter complaining Of the house above
mentioned Sergeant Gibson was as
signed to the case, and last evening,
taking officers Wrinn, Carton, Heenan
and Welch, two of them dressed in cit
liens clothing, he started to investi-
gate. Going to the rear of the house

GREAT extent OF THE
NICHIGAN FOREST Fires
ONE RACED FOR A DISTANCE
OF sIXTH-FOUR
MILES.

Also for Thirty Miles in Another Di-
rectiOn-TwO Thousand Persons Are
Homeless at One Place and 1000 Des-
titute ut AnOther-DOzens of Towns
Saved Only by the Most Desperate
Fighting--One Town Three Times
Threatened.
Milwaukee, May 2O-A correspondent
of the Sentinel, who to-day made tour
of the district in the upper peninsula
of Michigan covered by the forest
fires, in a special train, the first train
to go through the district since the ca
tastrophe, telegraphing to his paper
says that the fire appears to be prac-
tically out in all of the district The
fire ragged for a distance of sixty
miles along the line Of the Escanada
and Lake Superior railroad and for
thirty miles beyond Claiming, the
western terminus of the road
It seems certain now that 1000 per-
sons are homeless in that district and
that 1000 are destitute at Quinnesec.
The Quinnesec fire, however, was of
different origin from the Escanaba fire,
having started in field where men
were pulling stunps and burning de-
bris. This fire spread into the city,
wiped out all the buildings except three
residences and the paper mills. Then
the fire spread into the timber and run
ming north for forty miles finally join
ed the flames sweeping east on Escana-
ba. 1t was also learned to-day that
Woodlawn and Kingsley on the Esca-
naba and Lake Superior line, were de-
stroyed and Perkins on the northwest
ern. Stories of heroic battles against
the flames are numerous. Dozens Of
towns We're saved only by the most des-
perate fights. Northland, a town Of
1000 Inhabitants, was three times
threatened. The fire was checked each
time at distance of only ten years
from the houses on inu outskirts.

BOMB THROWN into
PARLIAMENTARY CArP
CZAR REFUSES TO RECEIVE A
DEPUTATION OF MEM
BERS.

Address in Reply to Speech from the
Throne Must be Presented Through
the Ministry of the Court-Leaders OF
the Majority Utterly Disconnected,
Call Meeting of Parliament for Ill
O'Clock This Morning--Deputies Red
with Rage at First but Finally De-
eide Not to Take Amy Precipitatc
Action.
st. Petersburg, May 20,-A bomb was
thrown into the parliamentary camp
this afternoon by note received by
President Mouromtseff, of the lower
house, from Peterhof which, instead of
making an appointment for an au-
dienee at which he and the deputation
could present the address in reply to
the speech from the throne, contained
the information that Emperor Nicholas
would not receive the deputation and
that the taddress must be presented
through the ministry of the court.
Disconnected utterly by this unex-
pected development the leaders of che
majority in the house hastily summon
ed a caucus of the constitutional dem
ocratic deputies. President Mouromt-
self, instead of sending the address to
Baron Fredericks, minister Of the i'm
perial bouse, Immediately issued call
for a meeting Of parliament at IL
o'clock tomorrow at which he will re-
port the occurrence and ask for further
instructions. A most heated meeting
is In prospect.
The first disposition of the caucus of
constitutional democrats, which was in
session all the afternoon and evening,
and at midnight had not been conclud-
ed, was to regard the refusal to re?
ceive the deputation as a challenge and
an open affront which only answerable
by counter declaration of war. The
deputies were red with rage, but after
the first passion had cooled, the leaders
realized the dangr Of too procipitate ac-
tion and set for themselves the tas of
bringing their enraged followers under
control
Outsiders were not admitted to the
caucus, but through the glass doors Of
the great hall of the Constitutional
club, where the session was held, it
could be seen that Professor Milukoff
Prince Peter Dolgoroukoff, vice presi-
dents of the lower house; Prince Lvoff,
Professor Kareieff and others We're on
their feet time and again, pleading with
one another, commanding their audit
ors to act deliberately and firm, and not
ruin all by 'unreasoning passion. The
cooler counsels seemed ultimately to
prevail, but it is almost certain that
the radical group, accompanied by a
portion Of the peasants, will break
away tomorrow, and endeavor to force
the house into some fiery declaration
against the emperor and the govern
mem, which will compel an immediate
rupture, entail dissolution and civil
war.
An interesting constitutional point is
involved in the refusal of a personal
audience by the emperor According
to the parliamentary law. the presi-
dent submits to the consideration OF
the emperor the transactions Of the
lower house, but it is not stated wleth-
er he does so personally; and deputa-
finn ID nowhere authorized

FATE OF RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT
In the Eyes of the Court Party 1t is
Already Dead,

London, May 21-The Daily TeIe-
graphs st. Petersbrg correspondent de-
clares that the days Of the Russian
parliament are numbered. He says:
In the eyes of the court party the
parliament is already dead, the only
question not solved being how and
when to arrange a decent burial. My
belief is that the crown will dissolve the
parliament, promulgate narrow elec-
toral law, and order new elections
which will result in the return of its
own partisans."
