NOVEL BALLOON RAILWAY.
Successful Experiments by an Aus
TRAN Engineer.
Special Cabiegram to The Star.

Special Cabiegram TO The Star.
GENEVA, May 2S-An Austrian en-
gineer, Herr Balderauer Of Salzburg, has
been experimenting with much success
in the mountains near Salzburg with a
novel balloon railway.
1t consists of large captive balloon at
tached to single steel rail- which, in turn.
is fixed firmly to the side OF a steep noun
tain, whose precipitous slopes no other
form of railway could climb without maxi
Ing a series of serpentine detours and
passing through tunnels.
The balloon remains balanced in the air
about ten yards above the rail to which
1T is attached by a stout wire cable. and
ii is moved up and down the side of the
mountain at the will of the engineer
For an ascent the balloon itself fur
nishes the lifting force by means of
hydrogen; for the descent large reser-
voir attached to the balloon is filed with
water at the highest station, and serves
as ballast"
Under the balloon is a circular car. seat
ing ten persons The wire cable from the
balloon passes through the floor of the
car to speed regulator underneath
which is controlled by the engineer
Herr Balderauer has made dozens of
ascents, both alone and with the car
filled with people, and has never had an
accident
The inventor claims that the balloon
railway will replace the funicular rail-
way in the future. 1t is cheap to construct
and the sensation while travelling is de-
lightful.
The passengers are whirled up thou
sands OF feet in a few seconds, without
the slightest jar. The balloon can be in
manageable, and an automatic brake keeps
the car under control

TRIUMPHS OF PEACE
CARDINAL GIBBONS ADDRESSES
THE MoHoHK CONFERENCE.

LAKE MoHONK. N. Y. May 3t-The ad-
dress by Cardinal Gibbons OF The Tri-
umphs OF Peace was the leading feature
Of the third session of the Lake Mohonk
conference on international arbitration to-
day. Cardinal Gibbons said:
Address Of Cardinal Gibbons
1T is by comparisons and contrasts that
we can most effectuaily gauge the results
of Christian civilization. Let US compare
the military history of the Roman empire
with the military record of our American
republic"
In commenting on the comparison, he said:
Hence. we see that the United States has
enjoyed twelve years of peace for one year
Of war. while the Roman empire enjoyed
less than one year of tranquility for every
century of military engagements.
And now. friends and advocates of inter-
national arbitration. permit me to greet you
with words of good cheer and congratula-
ton.
You are engaged in the most noble and
benevolent mission that can engross the at
tention of mankind-a mission to which are
attached the most sublime title and the
most precious reward. Blessed are the
children of God
Il beg you to consider what progress has
already been made in the beneficent work
in which YOU enlisted
"A hundred years ago disputes between in
dividuals were commonly decided by duel
Thanks to the humanizing influence OF a
Christian public opinion. these disagree
ments are now usually adjusted by legisla-
ton or Cancellation. Have we not reason
to indulge the hope that the same pacific
agencies which have checked the duel be-
tween individuals will. in Gods own time,
check the duel between nations?
Let US cherish the hope that the day Is
not far off when the reign of the Prince of
Peace will be firmly established on the
earth. and the spirit of the Gospel will so
far sway the minds and hearts of rulers and
cabinets that international disputes will be
decided. not by standing armies, but by
permanent courts of arbitration-when they
will be secured not on the battlefield but
in the halls of Cancellation, and will be ad-
Justed. not by the sword, but by the pen,
which Is mightier than the sword"
A discussion of The Hague conference was
opened by ex-Minister to Russia Clifton r
Breckenridge of Arkansas
Judge William L. Penfield. who followed
spoke on the same subject
Representatives Granger of Rhode Island
and Bates of Pennsylvania and Charles s.
Hamlin of Boston, ex-assstant secretary of
the treasury. also discussed The Hague
conference.
The session tonight is to be devoted
wholly to three minutes speech of business
men and chamber of commerce representa-
tives from all over the country. showing the
work that is being done by business mems
associations in practical promotion of in
international arbitration.

WAvERERs AMONG REBELS.
Shell Fire Has Marked Effect in
Frightening Them.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
DURHAM. May 2s.-Bambata, Dunyana
and NDabaninga, Siganandrs principal
son, are each in command of impis. and
each has separate camp near Catewayo's
grave where they have erected tempo
rary huts.
The shell fire has had a marked moral
effect in frightening the waverers among
the rebels, and the older men are now
demonstrating with the young bloods. Re-
cent reports show that Siganandi was
very sanguine of obtaining Dinizulu's as
sistance. but now several of Siganandfs
headmen are urging him to abandoa
Bambata.
The rebels were all "doctored'' before
the fight, hence the desperate character
of their charge. as they believed them
selves invulnerable. The heavy losses
they sustained have greatly undermined
the prestige of the witch doctors who ac-
company Bambata, and on whom the
rebel leader has hitherto shown great re-
lance.
The rebels have looted the kraal of the
loyal native chief Tulwan. A column is
out to punish the rebels. A skirmfsh
with them took place. resulting in the re-
capture of the cattle of the loyal chief
and the burning of various kraals of the
rebels.

INCREASED COMMERCE.
Traffic on the Great Lakes This
Year.

bulletin issued by the Department OF
Commerce and Labor says that commerce
OF the great lakes during April and the
first four months OF 1906 exceeds that of
like periods In any eahier years. For the
month OF April shipments from all points
or the lakes amounted to 1885 sos net tons,
while for the year to April 80 they aggre-
gated 5.41s.4e1, gain for the month of L.
2T5. 042, and for the four months OF 1892.
G5G net tons. IL compared with correspond
ing movements of 1905. II should be noted.
however. says the bulletin. that the unusu-
ally heavy westbound movement or coal
was probably in some degree due to the
storing of vast quantities of this COM
modify at eastern ports prior TO the opening
of the lakes, In anticipation of coal
strike. while the general movement of near
ly all articles of commerce may have been
accelerated by fear of general strike
among steamship employees. OF which there
seemed to be probability during the en-
tire month.
OF the coal, iron ore and copper ship
ments. which for April, 1906 comprised
over 80 per cent of the total outbound
movements the coal moved almost entirely
from east to west while the movement OF
iron and copper was generally In the oppo-
site direction. OF the April coal movement,
sgS. 500 tons were shipped from Cleveland
and S2S, 524 tons from Buffalo.

BOOTBLACK LIFE SAVER.
Basso Jumps Into the Water at the battery
10 Rescue WOuld-De Suicide.

Matthew McLeravey is in the Hudson
street hospital recovering from the effects
of a jump into the bay at the Battery.
Giovanni Basso, a young bootblaok, who
lives at 81 Washington street, Is lodging
reporters and camera men because he
doesn't feel overproud that he jumped into
the water after Matthew MoLeravey.
Basso was seated on a bench near the sea
wall yesterday morning waiting for work
when McLeravey carne along and looked
into the water. Basso watched him. lie
had seen men look at the water in that way
before, and he thought something might
happen,
chain railing and divsd head foremost into
the bay. Basso ran TO the edge Of the wall
and dived into the water himself. By
ISLANDERS saw that a struggle was going on
under the surface, and when the pair came
up Basso seemed to be having all he could
do to keep McLeravey from overpowering
him.
Another bootblack got a rope and threw
II to Basso, who made it fast about Meier
ayey's waist and told those ashore to haul
him In. McLeravey had swallowed con-
siderable water before he was pulled out
and was hurried to the hospital.
When Basso got ashore he was cheered
by the crowd. But he wouldn't stay to
receive congratulations. He ran to his
home to change his clothes and soon was
back at work shining shoes.
