Around Big abbey.

From Trafalgar Square the airship
moved rapidly and under complete con-
troll to the new war Office. II passed
over that building, then circled about
Westminster Abbey ant the houses Of
parliament, and then recrossed the
Thames.
The idea was apparently to return to
Marlborough, but the wind was too
strong and a slant was made souther-
ly to the Crystal Palace, where the
airship descended. The aeronauts were
entertained at luncheon there by the
American manager. George z. Starr,
who formerly was associated with
Barnum & Bailey's circus Mr.. Starr
conveyed his invitation to luncheon
through megaphone. Before descend

Militant England has watched
with enviouS and more or less fear
full eyes the remarkable successes
achieved by French and Germans
with aerial war vessels during the
two years it has taken her to enter
the field.
Great Britain long has felt that
she must be able to protect herself
in the event of an aerial invasion.
Now, the almost unparalleled
success her first war airShip has
achieved has made her military
jubilant.
Almost daily the British soldiery
can now be seen in practice with
war balloons, to be used as auxil-
iarieS to the war airships.

Walnut Hill, July 1S-United States Senator Jeff Davis failed to make good the promise he made in the Fourth of July speech at Camden and in other recent public addresses that he would, should the people of Lafayette county give barbecue and invite him to attend, go there and "camp on the trail" of former Speaker, of the House of Representatives Allen Hamiter,
 Senator Davis denounced MT. Ham, iter in unmeasured terms at Camden and on other stumps, making charges as to his conduct while speaker of the house. Yesterday at Walnut Hill 8 great barbecue, attended by between 4,00O and 5000 people, was given, but Senator Davis, who had been invited to be present, was conspicuous by his absence.
 Three addresses were made yester- day morning, the speakers being State Senator R, l.. Montgomery of the Twenty first district, Congressman Minor Wallace and former Speaker Hamiter.
 MT. Hamiter called attention to the fact that Senator Davis had been in- vited to be present and speak. He denied the charges made against him by Davis and said Davis was only run- ming one of his bluffs when he told the people of other sections of the state that he was coming to Lafayette after his (Hamiter's) scalp. He charg- ed that Davis was attempting to con- trol the Democratic party in Arkansas by the machine he used when he was governor of the state. He said he was sorry Davis was not present so he might hear what he had to say of him, and said that because Davis was not present he would consume no more of his time by talking about him.

TATTOO MAN !S
 OUT 0F PRISON Prince Oskazuma, Who Claims to Be of Royal Family, Turned Out of Jail Here This Morning.
CHARGES NOT GOOD
Oskazuma Attracting Much Attention Eats Fire With Ease and Is Handy With Tricks-Speaks Sever. al Languages.

Prince Oskazuma," who claims to be member of royal family and Who was arrested here tuesday and Jailed by the United States author itites on charge of sending obscene matter through the mails, was today given his freedom by jailer Tom Meeks. A letter was received here today from United States Marshall W. G. Whipple, of Little Rock, in which it is said, he ordered Oska zuma's mediate release, stating that the government authorities were unable to get sufficient testimony to substantiate their charge esainst lhim. Immediately upon receipt of the letter, United States Commissioner Burnett, of this city, instructed Jailer Meeks to re- lease him.
 Oskazuma threatens to bring a damage suit against the government authorities for false Imprisonment. He declared this afternoon that the charge against him was without foundation. OskaZuma says his home is in Cape Town, South Africa. He speaks Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, French German and other languages fiuently and is well informed on the geography of various foreign countries having travelled all over the world, he says.
 Oskazuma says his fainter was the execuefve ruler of the Kaffir tribe, who are now subjects to Great Britain. He is one of the most interesting and unique characters ever in this city and during his stay at Longley's Park here where he has been giving fire eating exhibi- tions, sleight of hand and other marvellous exhibitions for few days, has been attracting much at leltlOIl. HIS WuOlG OOuy dHu iihio" are covered with tattoo marks. Characters of all kinds including monkeys, giraffes, ostriches coats of arms, flags and various emblems common to members of the navies of the world are displayed on his skin. He is highly educated and though his features resemble those of the negro, he is light colored and has silky straight hair.e
 Oskazuma says he was member of Buffalo Bills Wild West but later joined wild west show in this section, being employed by C. w. Riggs, whom, he claims, still owes him money. He says he wrote postals to Riggs, but that there was no obscene matter on them. He deties tht United States authorities to prove that he has violated the pos tai laws. Oskazuma has been rather lucky in being arrested here, as his arrest has brought Aim into prominence among the negroes and has given him no little notorietS He will lecture at Longley's parry tonight and the places promises to be crowded with colored people.
 Uskazuma performs all kinds of tricks and as 2 slight of hand ar- tist is unusually clever. He eats fire with apparent ease and has many curios and documents to sub stan4iate his saaAea1eafts ne4atiss to his being a native of Africa and a mem Der of a royal family.
