it was authoritatively announced by a
friend of the family that the Thaws
have abandoned Pittsburg forever
Alice Thaw will return to New York
at once and with her mother and Mrs
Harry K. Thaw will take house near
the Matteawan asylum. If he is re-
leased, Harry and the three women
will at once go to Europe, where they
will live in retirement for a number
of years, probably never returning to
this country except for brief visits.
Mrs. William Thaw is now shaping up
her financial interests so they can be
safely left to her Pittsburg represen-
tative. Frank Semple. The magnifi-
cent residence of Mrs. Thaw in this
city is on the market and other smaller
pieces of real estate are being sold.
Mrs. Thaw is suffering greatly over

ANOTHER AIRSHIP JUST PATENTED
SAID TO BE BEST YET PRODUCED

New York, Feb. 6.-Letters of patent
have been granted to Alonzo Perry
Bliven of 1049 Bergen street, Brook
lyn, well known inventor of appli-
ances for steam generation, for an air
ship heavier than air, pronounced to
be perhaps the most promising con-
trivance for flying at will so far pro-
duced
Bliven has engaged in experiments
with mechanical devices for 40 years,
and has spent almost 100000 on vari-
Gus devices. Eighteen years ago he
set about devising a flying machine
that should not be dependent on a
balloon for sustaining it in air.
''In the construction of my machine"
said Mr.. Bliven, probably the great
est obstacle / found to overcome was
in the utilization of steam power.
Gasoline engines are heavy, and coal
is out of the question, so l figured out
an engine weighing 500 pounds, made
of aluminium, which develops a 1OC
horse power. l use Illuminating gas
for fuel, which is lighter than air."

YESTERDAY IN CONGRESS

Washington, Feb. 6.-Following are
in brief, the proceedings of the two
houses of congress yesterday as taken
from the official records:
SENATE-Senator Beveridge of Indi-
ana delivered an appeal to the senate
to adopt his bill providing for a nom
partisan tariff commission. plan which
he declared conformed to modern and
business ideas on this subject. Several
democratic senators spoke briefly on
the general subject of the tariff, and at
4:5I the senate adjourned until today.
HOUSE-Tariff revision and the pres
idents recent special message to con-
gress again were the main topics of
discussion in the house. As has been
the case for nearly a. week, the Indian
appropriation bill ostensibly was be-
fore the house, but no word was spoke
in regard to 1t. A long speech by
Serene Payne of New York. the major
ity leader, was considered important
because of his assurances that a tariff
revision plank would be incorporated
in the republican national platform of
this year. He credited Mr.. Bryan with
going about the country accusing MIR.
Roosevelt of grand or petty larceny In
purloining his ideas. Other speakers
were Messrs. Thomas of North Caro-
lima. Cox of Indiana, Hardy of Texas
and Nelson of Wisconsin. At 4:43 p
: m the house adjourned until today.
