new AIRSH|P
THE SlGNET LAUNCHED ON LAKE
AT BADDEck, in NOVA
SCOTIA.
IN FORM OF GREAT KITE
DISTINGUISHED INVENTOR HOPES
TO SOLVE PROBLEM OF
AERIAL NAVIGATION.

Baddeck, N. S.-After many years of
experimental work, the contrivance
with which DR.. Alexander Graham Bell
hopes to solve the problem of aerial
navigation was successfully launched
Wednesday IN the presence of intimate
friends of the inventor and few of the
more prominent citizens of the place
The launching took place at the Bell
laboratory, the ceremony of christen
ing being attended to by Mrs. Bell, who
in breaking the bottle of champagne
over the bow of the ship, declared it's
name to be THE Signet."

shop were thrown open and the kite
was conveyed to a float upon which It
was towed out on the waters of Brasa.
dor lake.
Owing to the adverse weather con
ditions, however, a flight was not at
tempted.
The kite, or ship, is in itself section
OF tetrahedron, 13 metres long on
top, 10 metres along the bottom by 8
metres deep.
1t is composed of 1886 units, or
small tetrahedrons, two faces of which
are covered with silk, thus forming a
two-winged cell. These cells, so ar

of many tests, the maximum stability
with the lightest weight.
A hole is cut through the center OF
the contrivance to furnish accommoda-
ton for the motor and visitor. The
ship is also provided with bow for
sailing purposes.
Three floats are used as part of its
construction to support it while float
ing on the lake.
A Curtis motor is used. 1t is of four
cylinders, twenty-horse power, and
weighs 129 pounds; it drives two solid
screw propellers on the same shaft but
in opposite directions. These are en-
ployed to reduce the turning movement
which results in tendency to overturn
the ship when only one propeller is
used, or two are driven in the same di.
rection.

Buried Miner Rescued.

Mahanoy City, Pa.-The Draper
mine at Gilbertor has given up its
prisoner, Michael McCabe, not dead,
but alive and well, except for the
shock sustained by his narrowing ex-
perience.
After being imprisoned for eighty
seven hours, several hundred feetll
derground, almost directly under his
own house, where his family mourned
for him as dead, McCabe was taken
from his living tomb at $50 o'clock
Wednesday morning, barely alive.
He threw his arms about his res
cuers with burst of tears, then sank
to his knees and offered prayer of
thanks for his deliyerance.
That day all GIlbertOn enjoyed a
holiday.
Pushing, shoveling and digging in
a fever of energy, the early shift of
rescuers, Who were part of the band
of thirty fighting their way through
the headings, at five o'clock Tuesday
broke through into breast No. A, down
which the culm from the washery
swept when McCabe's last shot weak
ened the surface and brought it tumb-
ling into the mine.
The breast was choked with culm,
but there was a single chance that
McCabe was alive in the heading be-
yond, and the three men worked with
energy and at exactly $50 o'clock an
opening was driven into the heading,
from which in p moment there issued
a single cry
McCabe was alive and knew his
rescuers were at hand.
A few moments more and he was
in their arms.
Although his system is severely
shocked by his awful experience, no
serious results are expected by the
attending physicians.
McCabe says that he subsisted on
tobacco, coal oil and by chewing wood
from the mine timbers.

Burdette's Big Potatoes.

Greeley.-In answer to a promise
made to Robert j. Burdette, the
preacher-humorist of Pasadena, Cali.
fornia, Frank Frost, 4 former parish
ioner. sent him three potatoes weigh
ing together fourteen pounds, and a
photograph of them. Burdette's
friends thought it was one of his Jokes
when he told of the size of Greeley
potatoes, and he wanted to verify his
statements. Mr.. Frost has just re-
ceived the following letter from Bur
dette:
Dear Brother Frank-The spuds
have arrived, following right on the
heels of the photographs. AS is the
case with all distinguished creatures
the photographs do not do the spuds
half justice. We do not know whether
to eat them or have them vanished
and preserve them. 1 am going to
take your letter to the prayer meet
ing Wednesday night and don't think
it would be wicked to take in the big
potato"

CARRYING UP THE
CARTER LOAN BILL

The special House committee which
was appointed to consider the new
Loan Bill presented by the Governor,
through the Finance committee, didn't
do a thing to it. The original bill call
ed for the appropriation of 100000 for
various government works. among
these being the completion Of the Nuu-
anu dam. the dredging Of Kilauea slip,
the Honolulu harbor. various water
works improvements around Honolulu
and the repair of the Administration
buildings, Supreme Court and Judi
ciary building. In all the bill provided
for the spending of ssss,5OO in Oahu
and s16.5OO in the other Islands.
The special committee recommended
stricking out all these items and sub
stituting the following:
New School Buildings, Hawaii..S 36 $50
New School Buildings. Kauai. 1880
New School Buildings, Maui,
Lanai and Molokai.. ............ 10000
New School Buildings, Oahu.... 21,250
Thus instead of Oahu getting a big
share of the money it will have to be
satisfied with one fifth of the 100000
called for.
Rice, who presented the report ex-
planned that 1t was done to get the
matter before the House for a third
reading. He said that the appropria-
tion bills already passed more than
took up the estimated revenues and
the items provided for in the bill would
come out of the present surplus of the
Loan Fund on hand.
This bill thus serves a double pur-
pose, heads off the schemes of the
Executive for the spending of nearly
a million on contemplated improve
ments and also takes up the money
which the Executive has in view for
anu dam again.
While 1t was not SO stated last night
In the House. 1t is the idea OF the mem
bers from the other islands to take up
the available balance of the Loan Fund
and spend 1t on some OF the things
that were to have been provided for
out of current revenue. Then, II more
money is to be appropriated for new
works and for the completion of the
dam and the work in the Honolulu
harbor It will have to be raised from a
further loan.

MAUI BILL
GOES DOWN
SENATE rrrTY.THIRD DAY.

IL seems evident that while the Gov
ernor may consent to an increase II
the pay of the clerical force Of th'
Government he opposes any measure
that tends toward bringing the labor
ing classes to position in the fnancia
world that will permit their having
pie more than once week. And that
thought caused him to refuse to sign
House Bill No lsi, fixing the pay OF
laborers in Government employ at Sl.2I
day. The consideration of the veto
is set for this morning and there is Il
probability of the veto being sustained.
The road to the burial ground of the
Local Option bill was by devious ways
and the sign boards are visible to but
few. 1t is whispered that there were
several bits of trading done to ac-
complsh the defeat of that excellent
measure but if the truth was known
that much of the desire to kill it was
nursed in the breasts of the men who
play politics as a business. In several
instances it was stated that it would
be impossible to secure election next
time if there was no booze in sight.
Again it was pointed out that in sec
tions where booze is not now sold it
would be as plentiful as tules in Cali
fornia, if it was left entirely to the
will of the people.
The feature of the killing of the
bill in the Senate yesterday was the
clash between Smith, Makekau and
Coelho. The first named was anxious
that the bill pass and he was as strong
ly opposed by the other Senators named.
Senator Smith intimated cowardice in
the act of Makekau springing his ses-
sion-worn move 20 reconsider and thus
effectually kill the measure. There were
flashes of fire for a moment but the
senior Senator expressed no desire to
hurt the dignity of any member so
the incident closed with the adoption
of the motion to indefinitely postpone
made by Senator Makekau.
THE LAUNDRIES.
Senator Coelho, from the Health com
mittee, reported ON House Bill No. 2ll
as follows:
every person who shall carry on
the business of laundry keeping or
washing for hire, within the limits of
the city of Honolulu, except in such
buildings as shall be provided for such
purpose In accordance with the pro-
visions of Section 1868, shall be liable
to fine not to exceed fifty dollars
for each and every day or part of
a day during which he shall so carry
ON such business, and in default of pay
ment of such fine shall be imprisoned |
at hard labor until such fine is paid
The amendments proposed are as fol-
lows: insert after the figure "1063"

ings as may be approved and designat-
ed for such purpose by the Board of
Health, also by inserting the words

Senator Hayselden spoke in favor of
the bill, meeting all of the objections
of the Governor with explanations of
made a motion to defer action but
withdrew it on the request of Senator
Smith who wished to speak on the
bill. He explained the attitude of the
Senate Committee on Territories rela-
tive to franchises. In particular that
committee wanted nothing left undone
by the Senate and House in Hawaii but
in this bill there was much to be done
and he would not vote for the passage
Of it over the veto but for the fact
that it would be amended in Washing
ton or it would not pass at all. These
things could be attended to by a rep
resentative but he would be obliged
to go to Washington to do so.
Senator Woods said as much as he
disliked to sustain a veto he would
vote to sustain this one unless the Sem
ators would agree to defer action un-
til morning. He referred to the Rapid
Transit and the Gas company fran
chises, measures that were put through
with little or no returns to the Terri
tory.
Senator Smith said that was hardly
the case as the gas company paid a per-
centage of its gross receipts into the
Treasury of the Territory.

From the way he began his remarks it
would appear that he favored the bill
but his vote spoke the other way. Aft.
crwards he said he wanted the liquor
business controlled in some way but
he did not believe the Local Option
law was the way to do it. There was
trouble from cheap licenses and these
should be cut out: then the dlfficulty
would be remedied to great extent.
Senator Chillingworth seemed favor
able to the bill but did not consider
it timely as it might have bad effect
on the other liquor BILL The proposed
liquor law he believed would do away
with a number of the evils of the pres.
ent law. He moved to amend the mo-
tion of Senator Mccarthy by propos

this was not allowed and the motion
to indefinitely postpone was put by
the chair. This carried by vote of
8 to Z. The committee rose and re-
ported the motion to indefinitely post

was adopted. Senator Makekau then
made his reconsideration motion and

Senator Mccarthy said that such a

moved that the bill be read section by

Senator Smith took up the cause as
