but quickly regained his feet ana ran.
His companion also ran away.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 26.-The
spherical balloon of the United States
signal corps was sent up today by gas
company in southeast Washington. The
graceful soaring of the big air craft
was witnessed by throngs of people,
among whom were skilled aeronauts
who wished to study the actions of the
big gas bag. In the basket" were
Lieutenants Lahm, Winter and Eaulois
of the aeronautical board. The voyage
was for experimental purposes to test
the efficiency of balloons for war pur-
poses.
1t Is expected that James G. Mccoy,
who was participant in the recent
races in Berlin, will be in this city
within a few days. Mr.. Mccoy is very
much interested in ballooning and is
making q study of the various kinds of
airships and air navigating apparatus
and will study further tests to be made
by the government.
Mr. McCoy's balloon in the Berlin

rBy Associated Press:

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-John ID.
Archbold of the Standard Oil company
made the following statement this aft
ernoon regarding the letters read by
William r. Hearst at the Carnegie hall
meeting Saturday night:
'I am very sure that until Hearst
read the letters neither Judge Morrison
nor Judge Henderson had any knoWl-
edge of my having written Governor
Stone in their behalf. Judge Henderson
was not appointed by Governor Stone
to the supreme court, but was three
years later appointed by Governor Pen
nypaeker to the superior court judge

could have Influenced in the slightest
degree the selection of those men for
their respective positions would be

company with which l am connected.
my letter to General Ellxin referring
to the accompanying drafts related en-
tirely to contributions, to the Republi-
can state committee then engaged in
the campaign preliminary to the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Mckinley, a subject
which think Hearst would be little
sensitive, for was it not the election
and the tragic death of Mr. Mckinley
that came near costing Hearst his
precious neck?
1.-THE statement regarding Judge
Haight Is in connection with an old IL
bel that has been explained. and ex-
ploded so many times it would be a
simple weariness to the public to go
over it again.
1.-THE intimation of Mr.. Hearst that he
has had any communication from me
or any of my associates In connection
with the stolen letters is lie.
THE only favor which l would ask or
hope ever to ask of Hearst is that he
return to me the letters handed him by
his larcenous gentleman friend which
we're written from japan relating to
the fatal illness of my daughter In that

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 26.-E. B.
Knox, formerly cashier of the Phoenix
National bank, shot and mortally
wounded his wire this morning in the
yard at the home of L. p. Hewlns at
1903 East Washington street.
Three shots went wild and the fourth
passed through the woman's body close
under the heart. Although wounded
fatally she ran into the house while
Knox, after swapping the revolver
vainly at his head, hacked at the veins
in his wrists with a penRnife. When
arrested he was found to be insane,
wildly talking of plots to kill him by
turning an electric current through his
body.
He is a hopeless consumptive and the
disease appears to have reached his
brain. He has been taken to hospital,
where his condition is believed to be
critical. In near room is the wife

Presidential Candidate Puts in Strenu=
Gus Day-Makes Five Speeches.
His Son an Admiring
Listener
IBy Associated Press.1

NEW YORK, Oct 26-Devoting the
day to a trip through Connecticut and
the evening speechmaking in Brooklyn,
William H. Tafts first day of active
campaigning on his present visit to
this section was carried on with Vigor
and earnestness.
While the day, despite its call for
speech of some length i'll New Haven
and a shorter one at Port Chester, on
the return trip to New York. was one
of comparative ease for the Republic
can candidate, the calls that were made
upon him in Brooklyn tonight were
such as to keep him actively occupied
every moment.
When he entered that portion of
greater New York late this afternoon
he found himself fairly overwhelmed
with engagements. Before the night
was over he had accomplished five
speeches, eaten dinner with a hundred
prominent Republicans as the guest of
Republican State Chairman Woodruff,
reviewing parade and then attended
a reception at the Union League club.
A deluge of rain which broke loose
just at about the time that Mr.. Taft
was entering Brooklyn threatened for
a time to interfere with the evenings
program.
Had Planned Big Time
1t had been planned to make the
parade one of the big features of the
Taft demonstration and the downpour,
the heaviest of the fall season thus
far, continued long enough to give
managers and participants some con-
cern. The rainfall ceased, however,
some time before the parade was
scheduled to start and the function was
carried out with all the elaborateness
planned
Similarly. successful were the meet
ings of the night, particularly those in
the Clermont rink and the Academy of
Music. where Mr., Taft made his princi-
pal addresses.
The feature of the trip into Connecti-
cut was the New Haven meeting where,
with football enthusiasm the candidate
was pledged the support of a large
portion of the student body of Yale,
through the presentation of a hand
somely bound memorial containing
any pages of signatures
Governor Woodruff sat ON the plat
form beside George l.. Lilly, candidate
for governor.
He Reviews IT.
Mr.. Taft delivered a pointed review
of the campaign issues, in which he
held uppermost the Importance of the
maintenance of the protective princi-
pie, and the rehabilitation of business
confidence.
When the candidate arrived at New
Haven he inquired at once for his son,
Robert. After the meeting, Robert,
who is Junior at Yale, and had been
making frantic efforts to get to his
father through the crowds, finally
reached him at the station.

have helped to create atmosphere for this

1t was a trivial incident that made postal
reformer of Rowland Hill. A brother and sister
agreed to send a letter with blank sheet of
paper once a quarter to each other a sign
that they were we'll and prospering. The shilling
postage was never paid. and the letter was re-
turned unopened, but the attempt TO deliver 1t
had conveyed the information which the cot
tagers wanted. That incident related by
Colerdge convinced Rowland Hill that postage
must be reduced to penny. Mr.. Heaton was
influenced by an equally pathetic episode in de-
voting the energies of lifetime to cheaper
ing postal communications throughout the world.
After roughing it in his youth in New South
Wales he returned to England with the convic
ton that pioneers in the colonies should not be
allowed to forget the old folks at home. Over
hearing old in village ask in
postofice what the postage to Australia would
be. he paid the sixpence for her, and subse-
quently learned that the letter had brought back
a remittance of five pounds and put helpless
mother in communication with a thrifty and

Rowland Hill and Henniker Heaton have been
the enthusiasts in the cause of penny postage.
Practical officials have followed them. and in
the course of seventy years the world has been
converted TO their views OF making the ex-
change of letters within and outside the empire
cheap possible. 1t was at the opening OF
Queen Victoria's reign that Rowland Hill worked
out his first comprehensive scheme of postal
form, and it will not be long before the penny

lected battleships and cruisers, and during ten
months (from November. 1908 to August, 1904)
ordered the construction of no less than seventy
two small torpedo boats of from ninety to a
hundred tons displacement. and of twenty-six
knot speed at cost of S6OO0000.
These vessels are now practically useless. be-
cause a torpedo boat TO be Of any value should
have speed greatly in excess Of the battleship or
cruiser which il is intended to destroy. The
latest type Of torpedo boat. the Swift. laid down
last year in England. is to have 800 tons dis

The Swift is the type of torpedo boat built TO
deal with battleshp OF the Dreadnought class.
The French naval estimates, handicapped with
payments for obsolete torpedo boats already un-
der construction, contemplate nothing approach

According 10 the statement of NJ Rousseau, a
leading authority who has recently published in
lie Temps an investigation concerning the
efficiency of the French navy which has at
tracted great attention in naval circles. there
are at present about sixty submarines, sub
mersibIes, in the French ports capable of rem
dering efficient service. In this respect France
is superior TO any other nation. There is con-
siderable conflict of opinion among French ex-
perts in regard to the two characteristic types
the submarine proper and the submersible. The
difference between the two is that the sub
marine is like fish that has its swimming
bladder inside its own body, while the sub
mersble is like fish with its swimming blad-
der outside the body. That is to say. the water
ballast chambers that must be filled when the
vessel is to dive are inside the hull of the sub
marine boat, while they placed outside the
hull in the submersible 1t is claimed that the

buoyancy when at the surface. is more quickly
handled and make longer and more rapid
passage at sea.
It is pointed out by NJ. Rousseau that the ma
ton that has made the most rapid progress In
oyertaking others in relative naval rank and
naval efficiency is the United States. which is
the very one that pays the least attention of all
to purely coast defence, while, on the other hand
the country that has made the least progress
and has lost its rank from the second 10 the

cisely the one that has concentrated its efforts
and resources upon "a navy for defence"
