The actual problem of the navi.
cation of the air has already bee,
solved by the Wright brothers" ,s
DR.. Bells opinion. According to an
article in the American Magazine for
April, the brothers Wilbur and Or.
vile Wright, of Dayton, Ohio. have
constructed a motor-propelled glid.
ing machine that will fly close to the
ground with perfectly even keel
and under complete control. orvlIle
Wright is quoted as follows:
"All our earlier machines pers,st.
ed in bobbing up and down, as
though they were on waves Of air
We discovered the reason, and now
we can fly a thousand yards with the
ground not a foot beneath us. As
to the distance we can travel, we do
not regard twenty-four miles as the
limit. The new machines will carry
sufficient fuel for a 500-mile trim "
In an exhibition test of their 500.
pound machine in 1905, the Wright
brothers covered a distance of es
miles in six flights, flying and land
ing with almost the poise and self.
control of an albatross." This was
one of the many trips by which the
Wrights have demonstrated the prac.
ticability of flight. OF course, the
ability to guide so near the ground
eliminates the danger, and the prob
lem of learning to drive an earomo-
bile should be no greater than that
of mastering the quilibrium of a hi.
cycle. DR.. Bell constructed an air
vehicle last December, he says, that
supported itself and a man In a
ten-knot breeze" This summer he
will fly a machine of the heavier
than-air type that will operate at a
moderate speed.
"If I can accomplish this there Is
hope that the aviators, or the men
who are trying TO solve flight on the
bird plan, will be able to avoid fatal
accidents long enough to learn how
to fly, and, as with the bird, one OF
the first considerations is safety, so
man must learn to go slow before
he goes fast"
That was the counsel of Otto Lii
ienthal, who was dashed to death a
quarter of a century ago from one Of
the aeroplanes that "bobbed up and
down" Today. with the system of
control perfected by the Wright
brothers, many distinguished Euro
pean and American inventors are at
work devising to make Lilienthal's
advice safely practicable.

WARM SESSION IN BAILEY CASE
Texas Senator Says Statement by Mr.
Cooke Is a Downright Ma
liciOus Lie.

AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. 12.-Declaring ''all
this prattle is a lie,' and urging that the
committee interpose and stop these insults
offered, United States Senator Joseph w.
Bailey brought TO climax this afternoon
an exciting session Of the legislative COM
mittee investigating charges against Bailey
filed by Representative Cooke.
This was in reply to Representative
Cookies request that additional witnesses
be summoned by which he hoped 10 prove
that Senator Bailey had borrowed 1900 Of
]. D. suggs Of Iron county.
When It was suggested that the commit
tee leave at once for St. Louis, where ad-
ditional testimony is TO be taken, Senator
Bailey protested that he should not be
compelled TO go over the country as the
principal in an investigation o fthis nature.
Representative Cooke said he was anxious
to have ]. d. Suggs TESTIFY.
Mr.. Cooke says he expects to prove that
Suggs has destroyed a note for 1900 given
to him. or his dead brother, by Senator
Bailey
Senator Bailey Indignantly replied;
'Mr. Chairman. that is lie. II is IN
fanny 10 allow any man to stand here and
make a statement that is a downright mall
iclous lie and a lie made out of whole
cloth"
Mr. Cooke served notice on Senator Bailey
and his attorneys to produce the "Flato'
letter which had been previously referred
to by Senator Bailey as an attempt to
blackmail him
Senator Bailey stated that he had made
an unsuccessful search for the letter which
he had last In his possession when address
ing the house OF the Texas Legislature re-
Gently and had left it on the desk with
other papers which disappeared.

Naval Appropriated Bill ~ COnsid-
cred In Comnaittee of the whole.
WASHINGTON. FEB. 12-After the pas
sage Of number OF bills under unanimous
consent the house today resolved itself
into committee eof the whole TO consider
the naval appropriation bin A number Of
recommendations OF the naval appropria-
tions committee were eliminated on points
OF order.
The army appropriation BILL the fortifca-
tions appropriation bill and the omnibus
lighthouse appropriation bill were sent TO
conference.
The house adjourned at $50 p. m.
Representative Slayden of Texas during
the consideration OF the naval appropria-
ton bill in the house today addressed that
body on the subject Of the recent war talk
with Japan and the United States and
laughed the rumors OF war out of the
chamber.
A point of order was made and sustained
against the provision in the naval appro-
priation bill giving an additional grade TO
those officers who served with credit in the
regular or volunteer forces during the civil
war prior to April 9, 1865. and were retired
prior TO June 30, 1899, on account of wounds,
disability incident to the service or age,
or after forty years OF service.
Mr.. Kitchin OF North Carolina offered an
amendment providing that no part of the
appropriation in the bill shall be expended
for coal IN the Philippine islands or the
TRANSPORTATION of coal to the islands, ex-
cept TO the lowest bidder in either case.
Mr. Foss Of Illinois, chairman of the naval
affairs committee. stated that he was in
favor of the amendment, as 1t only applied
TO the present bill and did not enact any
permanent law. Messrs. LOudenslaser OF
New Jersey. Butler of Pennsylvania, Waldo
OF New York, Humphrey OF washington,
Hull Of Iowa and Grosvenor Of Ohio took
pronounced stands against the amendment
on the ground that 1t dealt a blow at Amer
lean shipping interests.
Mr.. Foss remarked that the matter was
taken too seriously and that in view OF
the fact that the navy could not purchase
coal enough carried in American bottoms
it was thought wise to try the experiment
The amendment was defeated, "a to 81.

Victoria Team of Montreal Defeats

Victoria Team of Montreal Defeats
 New York by Fast Play.
 NEW YORK. March 11.-By If goals to s the Victoria Hockey club of Mont real, occupying third place in the senior league. defeated the St. Nicholas Skat- ing club, champions of the Amateur Hockey league. in an international hockey match at St. Nicholas skating rink. The play, aside from the first five minutes. was all in St. Nicholas territory, with the Canadian men fore. ing the play all the time.
 The New York team was without the services of Souther, the brilliant for ward, who was unable to play owing to injuries received few weeks ago. This necessitated a change in the line up. and Marcus went to center, K Gordon played rover and Wagstaff took Marcus place at left wing.
 The Canadian defense was made up entirely of the intermediate players, but the forwards were all of the senior seven, and they gave wonderful ex- hibition of hockey and fast skating. The most noticeable feature of their play was the manner in which they fell back and helped out the defense The men were so much faster skaters that they could always reach their own goal before the New York men had chance to shoot.
