 WINS THE RAGE

Berlin, October 17.-The balloon races that were started at Berlin on Sunday and Monday of this week have been char acterized by series of accidents and mis- haps but the Hergesell is the only air. ship to end its flight with death to its pilots. A total of 50 balloons started in the two races, the first for the interna- tional cup and the second an endurance contest Two of them, the American Con- queror and the Spanish Montaines, burst in the air and their occupants had mirac- ulous escapes from death. Shortly after these two mishaps the airships began to be reported from the North sea, and when it was seen that they undoubtedly would be driven out over this body of water, the German admiralty sent out fleet of tor- pedo boats to effect rescues, while the British government sent out two cruis- CTS
 Several of the balloons made success full landings on shore close to the beach, but five of them. the American St. Louis, the Swiss Helvetia, the Spanish Castillo, the German Bustey and the German Plauen, all came down in the water in the vicinity of Helgoland, and their oc- were picked up.

JUDGE TAFT ENDS
 SOUTHERN TOUR Will Have Conference With the
 President Today PLEASED WITH RECEPTION Repeats Assertion That Southern Peo. pie Are Still Errine-Would Wipe Out Sectional Lines With
 His Party.
PLEASED WITH RECEPTION

Richmond, Va, October 17.-Judge Taft today finished his campaign in the south. As he did in Kentucky and Tennessee on : Thursday and Friday. so today Judge Taft urged the application of business principles in politics through North Caro- lima and Virginia. As yesterday and the day before, there was no variance in the cordiality of the south in receiving it's first visit from a republican presidential candidate. This was a frequent express sion of the candidate during the day: "l am very glad to come down here and re- ceive so cordial a welcome, cordial not only from republican friends, but from my democratic friends, who are still erTing."
 Judge Taft has been told by republican leaders in every one of the southern states he has visited that his invasion of the south has been most opportune. and will be beneficial, not only in the present cam paign, but will mark the beginning of the real political awakening of the south. He has also been told that real hopes >-I entertained of carrying Kentucky ana North Carolina, and that republican senti- ment Is gaining ground rapidly in Ten nessee. When Judge Taft began to speak In Kentucky he frankly said he did not expect to get any electoral votes In the territory he was to visit south, and he has said nothing since to indicate a change in his expectations. although he expresses satisfaction as to the whole trip.
 Unlike the two preceding days, not a single republican city. town or com munity was within the radius of the Taft special today. He traversed North Carolina from west to east, beginning at Statesville before 8 O. clock. At Salisbury the candidate was driven through the town and spoke in the local theatre, while former Secretary Shaw addressed an open air meeting. Lexington and High Point were places of brief calls. J. Elwood Cox, a manufacturer of High Point, Is the republican nominee for governor. His fellow townsmen were urged by Judge Taft to give him cordial support.
 DeceIves Himself.
 New York, October 17-"In believing that he is making inroads in the solid south democracy, Candidate Taft is a victim of self-deception," said Josephus Daniels. national committeeman from North Carolina, today. at democratic na- tional headquarters, and he added;
 'He is falling into the error of his predecessors in the office to which he aspires, of mistaking the proverbal courtesy and hospitality of the south land for an expression of sympathy for him as an exponent of republican doc trines. Because of this he deludes him. self into the belief that the republican party is making inroads into the solid south. President Roosevelt and Presi- dent Mckinley, in their day, were simi- larly received on the occasion of their visits to the south. were also buoyed by false hopes until the votes were count ed ia subsequent elections. They were taught the lesson that MT Taft will have learned by heart on November next"

Reception TO 600 Negro Sailors
of Fleet Proves to Be a
Brilliant Affair

The reception to the enlisted men of
the fleet given by the colored citizens OF
California in the auditorium at Page and
Fillmore streets last night was the
most brilliant public affair ever given
by members of that race in this city.
The dance that followed the formal
program was as successful as 1t was
impromptu. The affair was in charge
of the Rev. A A Burleigh and the Rev.
J. H Kelley. The two pastors had not
planned for q dance, but had arranged
a special program to be followed by
q reception.
All went according to plan, however,
until within a few numbers Of the
end of a fine program. when the band
struck up a lively two step. In a
twinkling a big sailor seized the girl
nearest him and they whirled away
across the open space Of the hall to be
followed almost instantly by enough
couples to I'LL the floor.
The two committeeman and their
assistants appealed in vain for the
dancers TO resume their seats, for as
long as the enticing music continued
the sailors and their happy partners
forgot everything except the joys of
the dance.
Almost 1000 people listened TO the
excellent program rendered during the
evening The Rev. j. II. Kelley made
the speech OF welcome and the re-
sponse was made by Gunner's Mate
Morgan of the Vermont The Rev. A
A Burleigh delivered a patriotic ad-
dress on the American citizen soldier.
The musical numbers were Of unusual
excellence, especially the singing OF
John Payne.
Walter Macarthur was present as. the
representative of the general reception
committee, but the active conduct of
the affair was entirely IN the hands
of the colored people.
After the program the sailors and
other invited guests enjoyed refresh
ments About 500 sailors were the
guests OF their colored friends, and as
1t was the first official recognition
which the colored enlisted men have
received on the voyage they were de-
lighted beyond measure.

CHICAGO, May 1s.-Rear Admiral
Robley D. Evans, content to lay down
the title of Fighting Bob" in its active
sense, but cherishing it as a mark of
passed through Chicago today on his
way to his home in Washington.
Growing his naval career with the
IA, 900 mile voyage OF the battle fleet
around Cape Horn, the veteran COM
mander said in effect that he was con-
tent henceforth TO be known as Peace
ful Bob" for the rest of his life.
Admiral Evans stated that he would
not prepare any book of memoirs, and
that he intended to settle down in
Washington upon his retirement. The
admiral would not talk seriously about
his name being suggested for vice
president. declaring it a joke. When
asked, "How's the 1eet?" he said: It's
fine and fit. The men are all wool and
a yard wide. It's getting better every
day, but we need more battleships. We
should have a feet of 4S of them in
stead of %. as now. But take It from
me, there's no danger of any war with
Japan"
The veteran fighter begged to be ex-
cused from talking at any length on the
voyage of the battleships. His senti-
ments regarding the navy he said held
good as he expressed them in his ad-
dress at San Francisco last Saturday at
the review of the fleet by Secretary
Victor II. Metcalf, when he said: TT is
the men who can shoot the straightest
and stand the largest punishment who
win battles, and it is of such stuff that
the American navy is made"
