DROPPED INTO SEA
Mea Ihsl Were ip Balloon Res cusd By . PsssIps Steamer
 -B,nshse Won.

. Berlin, Oct 15.-The German bal loon Busley came down yesterday morning at o'clock in the North sea. The two men on board were rescued by a passing steamer.
 This news was received in tele- gram from Edinburgh and caused the greatest relief. The Busley is one of the twenty-three balloons that started in the race for the interna- tional trophy last Sunday from a suburb of Berlin, and now all the contestants have been accounted for. There are still. however, two bal. looms, missing. These are the Plauen and the Hergesell, which started Monday in the endurance tests.
 The dispatch received by the Aero club from Edinburgh says that the Busley early yesterday got into com munication with a .coaling steamer bound for Edinburgh at a point In ,the. North sea to the northwes. of Heligoland The steamer signalled that she would. stand by. The aero nauts then opened their safety valve with the idea of bringing the bal loon down. In the meantime the steamer had launched small boat to pick the two men up. The balloon fell. to the sea, but 1t. was driven by a strong wind away from the steam CT. The men in the boat pulled their hardest and finally managed to get a line fast to the car. which was being dragged amid clouds of spray over the tops of the waves. They hung on until the two aernoauts had, been rescued. The transfer of the bal loonists to the small boat was at tended with the greatest difficulty. As soon as they were safe on board the connecting line was cut and the balloon, free of the weight of the boat, went careening away over the sea. .a
 The aeronauts were half naked and utterly exhausted. They were taken back to the steamer, where they re- ceiyed every attention and were given food and restoratives.
 E Although no award has been made officiaily. the English balloon. Ban ,shee. which came down on the coast of Denmark, is regarded as the win ner of the international cup contest.

Mayor Thoms and Engineer Cairna made trip to the Branch this morn- ing and found that the water Ia twenty-five feet below the dam, and 1t is going down at the rate of i've inches day. The mayor said this afternoon that unless 1t rains this week 1t will be necessary to shut oG the water certain portions of the day and continue on that plan for a time. He also notified the chief cE police to see that the order of tho board of public works regarding the matter of sprinkling is enforced in all parts of the city. so that people who have been using their hose should be on the lookout, for if any body is caught at the business he will be taken into court.
 Manager Judd of The Elton and exs Mayor John P. Elton have come to the rescue of the street department for water for sprinkling the streets. MT Judd has given the use of the well in the rear of the hotel and Mr Elton will allow the city to fill its sprinklers at the plant of the West Brass mill. This will help so far as sprinkling is concerned, and if the worst comes housekeepers will have to economize on water until 1t rains. The situation is growing serious and while 1t is rather hard to shut of for certain hours every day it would be much better than to run the reser- voirs dry and then leave the town at the mercy of fire. But perhaps 1t will not come to that

Lynn, Mass. Oct l5.--The lasters whose strike Tn this city began two weeks ago and resulted in pratical tie-up of the. shoe industry of this city, throwing out of employment about l5.000 men. met in Lasters' hall to-day to formally ratify by bal lot the voice vote of yesterday to ac- cept the agreement of the Manufac- turers' association and that of the Joseph Caunt Co. whereby they re- turn to work under the conditions in effect before the dispute arose.
 While the ballotting was in pro- eress at lasters hall under the Aus tralian system, Italian operatives said to be anarchists. raided the naii smashing the ballot box and tnrow- ing the ballots out of the window.
 The Italians entered the hall with out attracting particular attention. They gravitated toward a point at the rear of the hall and after mo- mentary consultation rushed across the floor to the platform. The movement was too sudden to be stopped and they had smashed the ballot box and gathered up the scattered votes before successful in. reference could be offered. Even then they succeeded In throwing many of the ballots out of the win dows and they defiea the officials to proceed with the voting unless cer- tain demands which they had to present were granted. They de- manded that the agents of the union should secure the signature of every manufacturer in the city to the man. ufacturers agreement which was the basis of settling the strike, They were assured that practically every manufacturer was willing to rein state the strikers and that the fac tory doors would be open to them whenever they wished to return. but they insisted on having signed guarantee from the manufacturers. They. also demanded that all differ. ences existing before the strike should be adjusted satisfactorily be- fore the unions should vote on the question of returning to work. ; |

The Republican party is rich in
candidates for the presidency, and can
didates who would do well in that
great office.
Not one of them is a candidate
whose aspiration would be laughed at
or regarded as a joke. With us, it is
not a question of "%anybody to beat
Bryan We expect to beat Bryan
with anybody whom we nominate. Our
embarrassment is in making a choice
among so many, all Of whom are
eligible, suitable. and popular. Fair
banks, Foraker, Cannon, Cortelyou
and others are named. Each has his
partisans, and each of them is in the
running. Very well, let them run their
best. However, at present there are
but two favorites in the raee-Taft
and Hughes. All the same, while
these two at present are the favorites
neither of them NAV win. In Repub-
liean national conventions the unex
pected often happens. During the
past fifty years the Republican nation
al convention has often done the very
thing not looked for. This was par
ticularly true in 1860. 1876. 1880,
1888, 1892 and 1896. The clark
horse was the winner. The like has
been true of the Democratic party for
a like number of years, and of both
parties in our preceding history. Many
times has it happened that great
party leaders and prominent candi-
dates nave killed one another off, and
some rather obscure man has won the
prize. To go further back, such men
as Clay, Calhoun, Crawford. Webster,
Seward, Douglas Chase, Blain, Col
fax and others, great party leaders
and popular idols, failed to reach the
great prize they strove for-saw men
whom they regarded as greatly their
interiors win the race, and in conse-
quence. died of hea .threak
AT present Taft and Hughes are the
candidates most before the public
Neither of them has anything to ex-
cite public enthusiasm. Neither of
them has a political or military career
which awakens public interest, or
which makes men throw up their hats
Neither of them is in the same class
with men like Grant or Blaine. Taft Is
