ering of New York and st. Louis men
who acted as helpers the big balloon

was filed In the fastest time they had
ever seen balloon inflated.
Expected Did Not Happen,
When cut loose the balloon rose
straight into the air for about 1000
! feet, and then took its course due west
ward. The aeronauts took with them
/ instruments for recording the atmOs-
! pheric conditions during the prelimin.
airy flight. They expected to remain
up about two hours, descending before
niehtfall, but they didn't. During the
evening word was received from Graf

Day of Inauguration of Govern
ments-EIect in Some of
the States.
HUGHES ON DECK IN NEW YORK
Salient Points from the Inaugural
Address He Made.
Laws Down the Rules That Shall Gov
ern His Action Legislatures
That Organized for the
Work Ahead.

Albany, n Y, Jan. 2.@Charles Ev-
ans Hughes has taken the oath of Of
flee as governor Of the state OF New
York, and with his Democratic col
lea CUES begun his two years term. The
retiring governor. Frank w. Higgins,
has formally surrendered the relns or
governor TO his successor and left for
his home a private citizen for the first
time since 1888, when he was first
elected senator. In his inaugural ad-
dress accepting the powers and respon-
sibilities of the great Office Governor
Hughes paid a marked tribute to Gov
ernor Higgins, commencing his pub
lie services and conscientious devotion
to the interests of the state. The in
aueural ceremonies were unusually
brilliant, and the attendance almost
unprecedented.
Cordial Welcome for Hughes.
Following the inaugural ceremonies
the new governor held reception III
the executive chamber, and later in the
day he and Mrs. Hughes received cor
dial welcome from a very large num-
Der of people from Albany and else
where at the usual public reception at
| the executive mansion. The ceremony
Of Inauguration occupied little more
than half an hour. Bishop Burke, Ro-
man Catholic, delivered q prayer at the
opening of the proceedings, which
closed with a benediction pronounced
| by Bishop Doane, Protestant Episcopal.
Law the Source of Many Evils.
In introducing Governor Hughes, the
retiring executive paid a high compli-
ment to him and closed with = Il
welcome you and wish you God-speed."
Hughes in his address said: Whether
or not we have laws enough we GER
tainly haveenough of ill-considered leg
islation, and the question is not as to
the quantity, but as to the quality of
our present and of our proposed Ell
actments. 1t must freely be recognized
that many of the evils of which we
complain have their source in the law
itself-in privileges carelessly granted
In opportunities for private aggrandize
ment at the expense of the people reck-
lessly created, in failure to safeguard
our public interests by providing means
for just regulation Of those enterprises
which depend upon the use of public
franchises.

deed, the least sign Of human habita-
ton.
The morning was fine. In the east
the sun had just risen and was food
ing the grim rock with a rosy light.
Except this rock no trace Of land
was visible as far as the eye could see.
Alongside the steamer was moored a
sailing boat with two masts, but pro-
vided also with thole pins and sweeps
for rowing. The sails were furled,
and she had evidently been brought to
the steamers side by means OF the
oars. Into this craft the crane was
lowering boxes, bags and whatnot,
which three or four men were stow
Ing away. The mate was superintend-
ing this transshipment, and the cap
tain, standing with his back against
the deckhouse, was handing one by one
certain papers, which Lermontoff took
to be bills of lading, to young man
who signed in a book for each he re-
ceived. When this transaction was
completed, the young man saluted the
captain and descended over the ships
side of the sailboat.
.Good morning. captain. At anchor,
/ see" said Lermontoff.
mo, not at anchor. Merely lying
here. The sea Is too deep and affords
no anchorage at this point"
"Where are all these goods going?"
The captain nodded his head at the
rock, and Lermontoff gazed at it again,
running his eyes from top to bottom
without seeing any vestige Of ciyiliza-
ton.
"Then you lie to the lee of this rock,
and the small boat takes the supplies
ashoreT
Exactly" said the captain.
''The settlement, take it, is on the
other side. What is TIA lighthouse? y
There's no lighthouse" said the cap
tain.

overcoat is on your back. Have you
left anything in your room?''
The prince laughed.
"No, captain; forgot to bring a
portmanteau with me-"
"Then must say farewell to you
here"
What, you are not going to maroon
me on this pebble in the ocean,"
''You will be well taken care Of,
highness."

ut is called the Trogzmondoff, high

4Is it Russian territory?'

captain, drawing deep breath. This
way, if your highness pleases. There
is rope ladder, which is sometimes a
little unsteady for landsman, so be
careful"
ooh, I'm accustomed to rope ladders.
Hyvasti, captain"
"Hyvasti, your highness."
And with this mutual goodby in
Finnish the prince went down the
ywaying ladder.
