Zeppelin's s NeW AHShip
 Is Wonderful Machine

Friederich sh afen. Wurtemburs. June 16.-Representative army officers, 2 company of military aeronauts and many prominent foreign balloonists have arrived here to witness the experi- ments of Count Ferdinand Zeppelin with his new airship. Under favorable conditions, these will begin tomorrow. Although the government has issued the strictest injunctions that the de. tails of the construction of the air ship be kept secret. the following arc the approximate dimensions
 Length, AS feet; diameter, about 46 feet. The balloon Is fitted with two independent platforms. each carrying a motor capable of developing 140 horse power. These are extremely light, weighing only A pounds per horse power. Tn case one of these motors breaks down, the airship can continue, but at reduced speed.

It is hoped eventually attain with the full power speed of 46h miles an hour, compared with a maximum of 81 miles an hour hitherto attained. The radius of action Is estimated at 1430 miles,
 Sufficient fuel will be carried to en- able the airship to remain In the air 100 hours, sleeping accommodations be- ing provided for the crew. An appa- ratus has been installed for the dis patch and receipt of wireless tele- grams.
 One condition of the contract of con struction is the ability of the airshi p to maneuver at an altitude of 4000 feet. The lifting capacity of the ship is stated to be more than sixteen tons and 1t will carry two tons of ballast. Inflating gas is distributed among six teen separate interior compartments wh ich are contained within the outer rigid envelope of aluminium.

that a procurement on the subject 's to be included in the platform, has been determined upon. It will be a simple statement that the party believes tn. federal court procedure should be so amended as to provide against arbitrary orders being made by court, but at the same time, that nothing should be dons to interfere with the authority of the court over It's own orders.
 Those who are arguing for the elimi- nation or amendment of the provision maintain that their policy, if followed than to make an injunction declaration.
 .tor, no matter what the republican party declares on the subject the dem- ocratic party will surely go them one better" was the way it Is expressed.
 The trust plank. which at first aroused some opposition, is now un : derstood to be acceptable to all ele- ments In the party. The plank intends to pledge the party to establish af- firma lively the doctrine that a labor union, or farmers association, or in fact, any other duly organized aggre- gation of individuals Is not. from the simple fact of its organization and ex- istence, illegal.
 This declaration Is considered nee essary to avoid the conflict of opinion which Is said to now exist on this point. Opposition to the tariff plank seems to have disappeared absolutely on the ground that the party has ire vocably pledged itself to tariff revis- ion at a certain time and along indi :. cated lines.

would see to ii that at least enough
of the commission would be present
by II o'clock next Monday morning 10
pegin the New Haven hearing at that
time. The original time announced
for this hearing was 1890. This was
felt In many quarters to be too late
In the morning to be practical. for no
sooner would the meeting be under
way than operations would have to be
suspended for the dinner hour. The
general sentiment on this subject has
been communicated TO Judge IIolcomb

The commissioners will be nleased
