PerilOus Experience Of Amer

IN INTERNATIONAL RACE
The Two Aeronauts in the st. Louis
Were Rescued by Crew Of Vessel
Which Had Seen Their
FAN.

Cuxhaven, Germany, Oct. 13.-The
balloon st. Louis one of the three Am
erican entries in the international race,
dropped into the North sea last night
between Heliboland and Wilhelmshaven,
thirty miles from the shore. The pilot,
n. II. Arnold, of North Adams, Mass,
and his assistant II. j. Hewath, were
picked up by the crew of German
steamer who saw the accident.
The aeronauts were brought to CuX-
haven. They did not know they were
over the sea until they heard the
waves, the waters being obscured by a
thick fog. The rapid fall in tempera-
ture caused shrinkage of the balloon
envelope which began TO descend, Snort
ly after midnight they saw the sea and
began throwing out ballast, but could
not check the descent. They were en-.
veloped in the folds of the gas bag and
about to be forced under the water
when the lightship Ausseniade, which
witnessed the accident signalled the
steamship Lanjeroog. Later it headed
for the scene and rescued the aero.
nauts with small boat after a hard
struggle.
The balloons still in the race arc
widely scattered. There is grave ap.
prehension that the Others have been
blown over the North sea as the wind
has been in that direction. A despatch
from Arnold received at Berlin this
morning says lost everything in the
North sea last night"

Great Britain Yields Under Russian En-
voy's Influence.

London, Oct. l3-Great Britain has
receded from her previously expressed
determination to contine the questions 20
be discussed at the proposed interna-
tional conference regarding the Balkans
to the recent events in Bulgaria and
Bosnia and herzegovina.
NJ Iswolsky, the Russian foreign min
lister, has succeeded in impressing upon
Sir Edward Grey, the British secretary
for foreign affairs, the necessity that not
only should a conference Of the powers
be held to settle the crisis in the near
east, but this conference should take
under advisement other questions besides
those involved in the annexation bv
Austria of Bosnia and Herzegovina and
the declaration OF Bulgarian indepen-
dence.
This change of front on the part of
Great Britain, which has caused great
surprise, was announced by the foreign
office at the conclusion of long confer
ence between Sir Edward Grey and NJ.
Iswolsky after a meeting OF the cabinet
in the morning, Mt which Sir Edward set
forth the position ne had taken and ex-
planned the views Of the Russian foreign
minister Sir Edwards secretary in
making the announcement said:
1T may be affirmed with certainty
that both ministers concur in the neces.
sity for a conference. and that the pour
parlers at the foreign office. following
as they do upon the Franco Russian ne.
gotiations on the same subject. have
smoothed away some Of the difficulties
which were in the way. 1t is now re-
garded as probable that the latest events
in the near east also necessitate the en-
larging Of the scope of the questions to
be discussed at the conference"
