WILL NOT DISCUSS
THE TARIFF

Washington, Nov. 6.-Oscar 8. Etraus,
secretary of commerce and labor. took
occasion yesterday 10 correct an erron-
eous impression concerning the subjects to
be discussed at the meeting to be held at

ways and means to promote the foreign
commerce OF the United States. He said
'In regard to the meeting of commit
tees from boards OF trades and chambers

labor In December next there seems to be
some misunderstanding growing out OF

has been reported that among the sub
jects that will come up for discussion at
the meeting will be tariff and reciprocity.
This Is mistake. II is not tho purpose
OF this meeting. which az stated In the

THIS GL|DOEh

Springfield, VT. Nov. 6.--The balloon IN

millionaire automobile enthusiast of Low

o'clock yesterday afternoon, having as
cended from Pittsheld. Mass, at iOa5 in
the morning. The distance covered was
about 40 miles, although between the two
places i'm an air line it is only 50 miles.

ported passing over Wilmington, VT, and

90 miles from the starting point.
The landing was accomplished safely In
field, the descent being so easys and
gradual that Mr.. Glidden declared an egg
would not have been broken by the jar
when the basket hit the ground.
Both the voyagers were enthusiastic
over their trip, but they said that a storm
which they had ran into just afSer they
had crossed the Massachusetts line near
Readsboro, VT, caused them some incon-
venience. To get out of the storm Mr..
Stevens allowed the balloon to go above
the clouds until II reached an elevation
OF $500 feet. During this upward flight
the changes I'm temperature were very
sudden. the air becoming colder with n
rapidity which surprised even Mr.. Stew
ems, who yesterday made his eleven hun
dredth ascension. After remaining at
this high altitude for some time the bal
loon was dropped nearer to the earth, and
on passing below the clouds the men
found that they had got beyond the path
OF the storm Having lost their bearings,
they dropped to within 25O feet OF the
ground, and from this height conversed
with people below.
