Why They Start Late.
The start of the race was placed as late
in the day as possible in order to meet
sired by all that the first and most i'm
portant stage of their fight should take
place at night. The heat of the sun ex-
pands ballooning gas to a marked extent,
and when the contraction comes at night
1t means a drop to lower level and the
loss of several bags of ballast. BY start
ing with the setting sun the first loss O..
gas is reached after nearly twenty-four
hours in the air, and In this period the
pilots expect to cover the greatest part
of their journey.
The start of the international cup con-
test today marks the beginning of an
aerial carnival which will continue until
Friday. All sorts of aeroplanes and dir
ig1ble balloons are here to compete for
valuable prizes offered for the various
classes.

THE PRESIDENT TO RETURN.
He Will Reach Washington Wee
nesday Afternoon.

President Roosevelt will reach Wash
ington from his southern trip Wednesday
afternoon. The schedule time of his arri-
val over the Southern road is o'clock
that afternoon, but 1t is expected that he
will be compelled to make some stops
for speeches not on his itinerary, and that
he will be delayed beyond that hour To-
day the President is at Vicksburg and to-
morrow morning he will be at Nashville
leaving the latter city for Washington.
There is no business of such formi-
dable nature as to require immediate
session of the cabinet, but it is certain
that the regular meeting will be held
Friday, as usual.
The Presidents message to Congress
has been practically completed for some
time, but he will make additions and al
terations to it during the next three or
four weeks. He will ask his cabinet Off
GERS to turn in early reports to him of
the business of the departments, and
these reports will probably include sub
Jects the President may want to talk to
Congress about.
The President will have little or no
leisure from now OF. with Congress IN
session and multtudirous reports, per-
sonal and otherwise, on the political stu
alton he will have his hands full. His
long vacation has, it is thought, put him
in prime physical condition to stand the
strain of the next eight or nine months.

TO MEET HERE DECEMBER 6
REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE TO
SELECT CONVENTION CITY.
Chairman New Says Eight Places
Have Applied for the Honor.
Conditions That Must Be Met.

Mr.. Harry s. New, acting chairman OF
the republican national committee, ar
rived in this city last night and met
Secretary Elmer Dover, who has been
here for week
The formal call for the meeting of the
national committee was issued today over
the signatures of Acting Chairman New
and Secretary Dover, AS follows:
THE members of the republican ma
tional committee are hereby called to
meet at the Shoreham Hotel, in the city
of Washington, D. c., at II o'clock am
Friday, December 6.
This meeting is called for the purpose
of fixing the time and place of holding
the next republican national convention
and to trasact such other business as
may properly be presented, and the ses-
sion will probably continue through Sat
urday, December l."
Mr.. New is of opinion that the convan-
ton viii probably be held early in June
of next year.
Mr.. New said that eight cities have ap-
piled for the convention-Chicaso. Kansas
City, st. Louis. Denver, Seattle, Atlantic
City, Pittsburg and Milwaukee.
THE next convention said Mr.. New,
will attract larger number of people
than have heretofore attended, and four
considerations must weigh in selecting
the city in which 1t is to be held. It must
be readily access ibie, possessing coed
transportation facilities. 1t must have
ample hotel accommodations. 1t must
provide a convention han Of suitable size.
1t must have telegrap phic facilities for the
distribution of news
Mr.. New added that, Of course, a pri-
mary consideration would be the willing
ness and ability of the applicant to put
up convention fund of acceptable size.
That is understood by all of the cities ap-
plying. The sum of 100000 is usually
the ante, but this time there is talk of
requiring the city to furnish certified
check in advance, as the committee has
had trouble in the past from cities not
cashing in their obligations to the full
amount.
1t is said that no significance whatever
attaches to the fact that the date for
calling the committee together falls in
the absence from the country of Secretary
Taft, candidate for the nomination. The
officers of the committee did not consult
Secretary Taft's friends, nor Candidate
Fairbanks, Candidate Knox's, Candidate
Cannon's or any other prospective candi-
dates friends, about & purely routine
matter sol2ly within the province of the
executive officers of the national commit

BOSTON, Mass, October 21.-Comment-
ing on the report that Mrs. Augusta E.
Stetson of Brooklyn, N. Y, had been Sc
lected as the successor to Mrs. Mary

sentative of the Christian Science Church
in this city, said today:
Il talked with Mrs. Stetson over the
telephone and she remarked that the re-
newal of this much-mooted question is
positively cruel"
Continuing, Mr. Farlow said: This talk
about a successor to Mrs. Eddy is pure
speculation, and is no more than a re-
hash of a manufactured rumor which has
gone the rounds for years. In the first
place, the well-preserved condition of
Mrs. Eddy as recently discovered by
the public. makes the question of sue
cessor out of time.
I'm the second place. one who is at all
familiar with Christian Science must know
the impracticability and impossibility of
a successor of Mrs. Eddy.
Christian Science is already discovered
and established. and Mrs. Eddy is al
ready succeeded in large measure by
the religio- science which she teaches, and
she will never have any other successor"
