The Standard Would Be Forced to Pay
Its Fine Promptly.

New York, Aug. 9.-The right hon
orable lord chief justice of Ireland,
Baron Palles, who has arrived here
for a visit to the Adirondacks and
Canada, in speaking of the big Stand
ard Oil company fine recently imposed,
said:
IF the Standard Oil fine had been
imposed in Ireland. the Standard Oil
company would either have to pay the
$29,0O0,0O0 fine at once. or, if they ap-
pealed the case, the appeal would have
to be heard and decided without any

CHANGES They WANT.
Industrial Corporations Offer Sugges-
lions to Interstate Commission.

New York, Aug. 9-The meeting
OF traffic managers of a number of
large Industrial corporations, which
has attracted attention in financial and
commercial circles. have appointed a
committee TO prepare resolutions for
presentation to the interstate COM
merce commission and to the railroads.
The resolutions will embody the
opinion of the companies on three sub
iects-that shippers be not forced to
bear the burden of proof of the legality
of a rate, as they have no means of
knowing whether the railroad has filed
the rate in Washington according to
the requirements of the interstate
commerce commission: that shippers
should be able to determine the rout-
Ing of freight between points and that

EARLY WOMAN AERoNAUrs.
Mime. PhibIe Was the First-NIrs.
Sage's Elaborate Costume.

BallooninE is a sport which has al
ways attracted women. Between 1873
and 1S49 fcrty-nine women made ball
loon ascents, half of whom were Eng
lish women. A quaint writer has ac-
counted for this by noting in most I'M
gallant language the likeness between
women and balloons.
Nine. Phible. the first woman aeronaut
in the world, assembled from Lyons
Nine. Blanchard was. however, the first
female professional balloonist, and she
assembled from Paris with her hus-
band, the famous aeronaut, in 1888. De
Fonvielle writes of her this not very
reassuringr epitaph: She was born an
aeronaut and died in q balloon" The
Comtesse Herr was another French
woman who made balloon ascents about
this period. She accompanied De
Gernerin on his second voyage In 1888.
The lovely Mrs. Sage was the first
Englishwoman to make q balloon as
cent. She went up with VIncento
Lunardi in 1854. a cat, a dog and a
pigeon also being of the party Mrs.
Sage was young and graceful. She
wore a plumed hat and feathers and
gossamer scarf lightly drawn about
her shoulders After a few hours aloft

NO HOUSE FOR NEGRO.
That's Why b. T. Washington Isn't
at UamdrOncck This Summer.

Maybe next year Booker T Washington will
be able to lease a house for the summer in the
best section Of Mamaroneck instead of at Oyster
Bay. But this year. though the summer was
somewhat backward and there are yet many fine
Colonial houses at Mamaroneck to rent, no ono
was apparently willing TO lease to Mr. Washing
ton his house in that town for this summer So
Mr.. Washington sought a summer house AT
Oyster Bay and Just the kind of house he
wanted was quickly found for him there
one OF the persons who politely refused TO
lease Mamaroneck house to Mr. Washington
was W L. G. Gaillard president Of one of the
largest realty companies Of this city. Mr. Call
lard IS an ardent admirer of the famous negro
teacher. He hopes he has not offended Mr
Washington or any Of his many admirers in
quickly returning the money paid TO q man who
signed for Mr. Washington a lease to a Mama
roneck house
am extremely sorry that this transaction
mas become public" said Mr.. Gaillard vester-
oay. The publicity hurts my feelings probably
more than II does the feelings Of the able head

and In this matter Mr.. Washington surely knows

for his representative and I parted in a most
friendly spirit"

not only great admirer of Mr.. Washington but

WORK ON CANAL SLOW.
Not Likely To BE Finished for
Many Years.
TBy Telegraph to The Tribune ]


AIDahy' July 1.-Despite the belief prevalent
IN New York City that the 1.OOO-ton barge canal
VIII be completed by 1911 It is ths opinion Of
ihe oHclals in the Department of Public Works
that several years beyond that date will give a
much safer time limit. Difficulties of various
sorts are attending the practical work on this
gigantic project. quite aside from the difficulty
which the state has experienced in floating the
bonds 10 finance the canal work Since 1903
when the legislation adopted only about
one-quarter of the work has been placed under
contract. Advertisements for bids for three
contracts amounting 10 between SSO0O.00O and
SScowO will be placed within a few days
These are for contracts No. 10. extending forty
three miles westerly from the western end OF
Oneida Lake; No IA, the Mohawk River
west of Cohoes to the lower Mohawk aqueduct;
near Schenectady, and No, 80 the Oswego canal
at the entrance TO Lake Ontario.
These contracts will, when placed. make
total Of work under contract amounting roughly
TO S16.00oOO0. Up 10 June ! n total Of 1885,
9O4 u had been actually spent for construction
work although the original scheme was TO
spend some $4,000 900 on canal work.
Deputy Superintendent Mead Of the Depart
rlent Of Public Works declared tonight that
instead Of 1911. which many Of the New York
City men interested in the canal project believed
would be the year for completion Of the work,
in his onnion a date much later than that
would witness the ending Of the big task Many
difficulties entirely unforeseen AT the beginning
If the enterprise had been encountered, he said,
which delayed work on many sections or the
canal The contract for Section 12 he went on,
called for its completion in 1911
