A contemporary thinks the only strange thing about the Pennsylvania
 Capitol business is that the grafters didn't steal and carry of the building after 1t was finished. but we think there's nothing strange about 1t. To have torn down and taken away the building would have required the spending of some of the money that they had stolen, and they were not willing to be separted from any of 1t.

SUCCESSFUL FLYING MACHINE.

SUCCESSFUL FLYING MACHINE.
With their flying machine under per-
feet control, the Wright brothers yester-
dry sJs,td over the sand dunes at Kill
Devil Hill near Msnteo, N. o., with
The ease of q bird. They made as many
as ten ascensiOns, aud, although oil were
OF short duration aud distance, for the
purpose of continuing the experiments
with the new design Of steering gear,
the machine al all times responded TO lie
PILOTS will.
Not once was there serious trouble 10
launching the machine and its alighting,
heretofore one OF the serious problems in
seronsutics, was always accomplished
With ease and withou, accident. Not
once did the machine descend before it
was so directed by the sklIl'nl hand OF
the navigator.
The two Wrighls took turus about In
making ascents. They showed fqusl
skill 10 handling the machine. AT no
time did it appear necessary TO direct
the machine TO the ground. Apparent
ly, 1t could have continued lis fight for
many miles.
The longest fight yesterday WAS for a
distance of mile and half. II took
about two minutes to make that flight.
The speed Of the machine is calculated
at between forty aud sixty miles an
Il L t. Il
Of a,ing that would be governed by its
fuel capacity. The capacity of the pres
ent machine is easily great enough TO
carry it for several bundled Diles.
Its msnner of acting in the air is very
much like that of bird 10 fight. II
can be Turned to the right or 10 the left,
made to soar high or low at the will Of
the navigator, and can be directed over
any point.

TIE PRESIDENT DEFIANr.

Three members of the U. (. Sensie
have received letters from President
[, Roosevelt within the lest few days de-
claring his supremacy, as commander
in. chief, in Ill matters referring TO the
control of the army and navy. The
letters have created intense telling In
the Senate, and it is not unlikely that
they will precif ate conference OF
republican members. The letters in
every case are in defense OF his course
in discharging without honor the negro
soldiers he believed to be guilty OF
shooting up the town of Brownsville,
Texas, and his action in banishing Col.
William F. Steward to an abandoned
military post in desert section OF Ari'
zons
Senator Flint, of California, called on
the pre- ident last week 10 intercede for
Colonel Stewari, and was told that the
case was finally disposed Of. Then Sen
ator Briggs, o! New Jersey, and after
ward Senator Dupont, OF Delaware,
called on Mr.. Roosevelt. In each csse
they we @ told that the word had been
spoken.
Y In ms letter to Senator Raynor, Mr..
| Roosevelt has iGsisiG on absolute privacy
bu, Mr.. Riyner is determine d 10 push
his case. He believes that Mr.. R)oss'
Welt IS wholly and radically wrong in hi
a sumption that The Senate cannot d.rec
h m to give Colonel S ewsrt court o
II quiry. His fight in the Senate will b'
wholly on that point. He has stud &C
the law ard the preceden and hss found
more than score Of precedenIs, which
he believes, will sht W he president tina
the Senate has the power, and has re.
peatedly exercised the power, in cOnnec
tion with the House, TO compel so un
willing president to grant an officer
court OF inquiry.
1t is the purpose OF the senators who
ressnt MIR. .Roosevelt's defiant attitude
in the matter of right to control the
army TO make Mr.. RsyOer's rts1lution
the issne. They will line up behind
him in his fight, and they believe that
by passing the resolution which Mr..
Rsyper will Intro rtdlce next week TO com.
pei The president to give Colonel Stewart
chance to be heard before court they
will efiectuslls prove to the president bis
limitations.
Despite the intense irritation OF the
senators, it is not at all likely that any
Cf them will carry into execution threats
of impeachment or even the passage OF a
resolution of censure.
