TO ENGLAND IN 80 HOURS.
Inventor Holland Expects to Do 1t In
Airship.

New York, May 22.-Announcement
was made tonight by John P. Holland,
inventor of submarine boats, that he
is at work on an airship in which he
expects within five years to be able
to travel from this city to England in
80 hours.
81 fully expect my airship will be
capable of a speed OF 100 miles an
hour" said Mr.. Holland tonight,
land I expect also that this speed will
be attained within five years. I have
already built six airships, three of
which have been successful.
"The principal difficulty so far In
airship construction has been struc-
tural as the crafts have been unable
to contend successfully with the wind
currents. I have modelled my new
ship on a principle which is so simple
that it is strange others have not
thought of it's application before.
eff there comes that high develop
ment in airships that I confidently
expect steamships will be the things
of the past. We shall all travel in the
air

Born Blind, Boy Can See.

Lynn, Mass, May 26-After having
been blind for life, Herbert Martin, a
14-year-old boy, will be brought to his
home here next week from the Howard
Hospital, Philadelphia, with his sight
fully restored. Not until yesterday
had the boy ever known the difference
between light and darkness.
That Martin can see is due to a
marvelously delicate operation per-
formed by DIR. Campbell Posey, the
famous specialist at the Howard Hos
.pital, in Philadelphia, who laid the
eyes bare, uncovered the optic nerves
and removed from them, at the point
where they connect with the brain, a
soft growth which caused the blind
ness. -
This is said to be the only case re-
corded where q person born blind has
had the sight restored.

Stock Dealings Are Small, How
ever, and Business Moves
Sluggishly.

NEW YORK. April 20.-Prices Of
stocks moved sluggishly and irregu-

fact that the London stock market re-

Very few issues were traded in.

H COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, April 2O,-1The cotton
market opened steady but at a decline
of ? to 7 points in spite of reports OF
too much rain in the Western belt.
There was a little buying of new crop
months through commission houses, but
Wall Street was a seller, and shortly
after the opening heavy selling orders
were received from abroad, one house
with European connections being a par
tieularly heavy seller of July. Prices
broke sharply under this pressure with
the market weak at a net decline of
10 to 1S points during the middle of the
morning New low records were estab-
lished all along the line.
The market continued weak and un-
settled during the late forenoon, and
prices at midday were only a point or
two up from the lowest, or about IA to
10 points under the closing figures of
Thursday night.

TO FIGHT SYSTEM
Of HUGE BONUSES
TO STEEL HEADS
Favored Officers of Trust Re-
Ceived $1I,375,00O, Yet Div
idends Were Cut Down.

NEW YORK, April 20.-A determined
effort is to be made today at the annual
meeting of the United States Steel Cor
poration to do away with the bonus
system of reward under which favored
officials, from President w. e. Corey
down to superintendent, of the trust
have in the past five years been award
ed about 81, 375, 900, of which $4,000, 900
was paid in 1907.
The DIRECTORS to the system are the
holders of common stock, who, in 1904,
did not receive any interest on their
investment and since then have had
only . per cent. per annum. The stock
holders argue that the officials salaries
are sufficiently large without the bo-
muses. and hat those whose money is
invested in the corporation should re-
ceive the amount distributed.
