BADDECK. Cape Breton, Dec. THE
tetrahedral kite Cygnet. the airship in
vention of Prof. Alexander Graham Bell,
made a successful ascent yesterday above
the waters of the Bras dor lakes, where
Prof. Bells summer home and expert
mental labratory are located, carrying
Lieut.. Thomas e. Selfridge, u. s. A., the
kite soaring aloft with remarkable ease
and maintaining its poise without acci-
dent.
1t was towed along above the water by
a small steam launch. To the group of
experimenters assembled with Prof. Bell
this performance of the kite was regarded
as entirely satisfactory.
Thus far the Cygnet has not been fur
nished with a motor for self propulsion,
although u space for such a motor was
provided.
Prof. Bell desired to make practical
buoyancy and balance of the invention
before installing the motor, and the ascen-
sion was one of the first of those tests.
Lieut.. Selfridge occupied the place in
the machine arranged for it's operator.
He was able to manipulate the aeroplane
at will and to preserve it's poise with ap-
parent ease.

DENVER, Dec 7.--At a meeting of
the executive committee Of the FEEDER
alton Of Miners in this city it was
agreed to levy an assessment upon
members OF the Organization for the
benefit OF Goldheld strikers.
The possibility of securing con-
gressional Investigation of President
Roosevelt's action in sending troops to
Goldfeld at the request of Governor
ST. arks of Nevada was discussed and it
was practically decided to bring the
matter to the attention of congress.
s'rhe action OF the president in send
ing the troops to Goldheld was the
result OF prearranged conspiracy be-
tween wall street interests and Cover
nor Sparks" declared Acting President
Mahoney after the executive session.
"There was absolutely no need for
such action. 1t seems peculiar TO say
the 1-~st that the troops should be
hurried to Goldf1eld before the sheriff
ID made any request upon the gov
ernor for aid. The action is unpre-
cedented and Some ulterior motive is
undoubtedly responsible for the out
rage. The federation will render every
assistance in its power to the striking
miners"

the federation. declared that the mine
owners we're themselves responsible. for
the strike and any trouble that fol-

said that the owners had violated their

JAPAN MAKES
ONL Y VERBAL
AGREEMENT
EMIGRATION OF LABoRERS TO
BE RESTRICTED
Minister Hayashi Agrees to Limit
outpouring, but Refuses to
Give the United States
Written Note
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
TOXIC, Dec. 7.--There is reason to be-
lieve that the entire question of the emf
grafton of Japanese to America has been
satisfactorily settled. at least for the
present, after the series of conferences
which have been held between United
States Ambassador O'Brien and Minister
of Foreign Affairs Hayashi.
1t is understood that at their last meet
ing the representatives of the Japanese
government outlined a plan by which u is
agreed to limit emigration to students
and commercial men having known means
of support, and to entirely prevent Jap
anese laborers from going to America.
This arrangement will entail the closest
supervision on the part of the Japanese
authorities.
As>the agreement is verbal Ambassador
o'Brien accepted it Professionally, but
maintained that any violation of its terms
would seriously embarrass friendly gov
ernment.
1t is caid that Foreign Minister Hayashi
has determined to exercise absolute con-
troll in the matter.
Refuses TO Give Note
Lemieux. the Canadian minister off ia5c-,
will hold final conference with Minister
Hayashi and Baron Ishii on December o.
when he will receive the same assurances
in regard TO a limitation OF emigration
given to the United States-no more and
70 less-the japanese government being
determined not to give any written note
on the subject
The progressive party is preparing for
an active campaign in the diet in opposi-
ton to the governments policy to restrict
emigration to America and Canada. 1t is
improbable. however, that it will sue
ceed In mastering sufficient strength to
create serious situation. Meanwhile the
foreign Office remains firm in its deter
mination not to yield to the opportunities
of the emigration companies nor of others
who sympathize with them.
1t is understood that the appointment Of
Baron Takahira as ambassador to Wash
ington would be made shortly after Vis-
count Aoki leaves America. The foreign
Office still. declines officially to say that
Baron Takshira will be appointed, but
there is no reason to doubt that his selec-
tion is final.

At 10 o'clock this morning George
Horseman and James Sawyer, charged
with second and first degree murder
respectively, were brought before Cir
cult Judge Bean for arraignment.
However, delays were met with in
both cases. and as a result neither

have filed a motion asking that the
complaint against him be set aside.
Horseman will not plead to the charge
against him until that motion has been
disposed of.

'er of James Sawyer. and he appeared
for him I'm court this morning. A de-
murrer to the complaint had already
been filed by Mr.. Pruitt, but as he
was not ready to argue II this morn

afternoon.
Following the disposal OF the above
two cases this morning the court
docket was gone over to some extent
and several cases set for trial. The

TO TRY NEW BATTLEsHIP.
10000 Tons Displacement, 16,5OO
Horsepower.

Washington, Sept. NAVAL Off
GERS are looking forward with inter-
est to the final trial run of the bat
tleship Vermont, which is to take
place the first of the week. In ad-
dition to the test of the engines, the
battery of the vessel will be fired suf-
ficiently often TO enable the inspec-
tion board to determine whether the
guns. gun carriages and their fittings
work properly, and whether the ves-
sci is sufficiently strong to stand the
shock of firing.
The Vermont is of 10000 tons dis
placement and has 16,500 indicated
horsepower. She is one of the largest
battleships ever built for the Ameri-
can navy, and is up-to-date in every
particular. She was constructed at
the Fore River shipyards at a cost
exceeding $4,000,000.
Another battleship of the same
class as the Vermont which will be
tested soon is the Kansas. October
8 has been fixed as the date of the
commencement of the final trial run
of the Kansas. The third battleship
of the same class, the Minnesota,
was placed in commission a short
time ago. These three battleships are
the largest so far added to the Ameri-
can navy.
