Saratoga, N. Y. September I5.--I
A highly dramatic feature Of yes
terday's session OF the Republican
State convention was the introduction
by Hon. Charles w. Anderson, Of
New York, the colored member at
large of the State committee and who
IS making such an enviable record as
Collector of Internal Revenue for the
second district, of an extended reso-
luton paying a glowing tribute to the
character and public service of Judge
Taft and more particularly extend
ing to the presidential nominee the
congratulations of the convention
upon his ffty-frst birthday, which
was to occur on the morrow
The resolution was adopted with a
shout that lasted for several minutes,
and the secretary was instructed to
telegraph the full text to Judge TAFT.
The speech of Mr.. Anderson prefac-
ing the resolution was frequently in
terrupted by applause long and hearty,
and is pronounced one of his very
ablest forensic efforts.
The voice of Mr., Anderson is ac-
cepted by the citizens of the state as
the united voice of the colored voters,
with whom he is Justly popular and
recognized from Buffalo to Far Rock
away as their natural leader. The

AERoNAUT WANTS
ROOSEVELT THERE
Farfnan to Invite Him to Witness
Flight of His Aeroplane.


Washington, July 20.--It is hoped
that President Roosevlt's interest in
aeronautics win lead him to accept ar
invitation to witness the flight Of Henry
Farman III his aeroplane at Brighton
Beach on Saturday.
A letter was sent to Secretary Loci
asking for an appointment for Henry
Farman Of France. and a committee Of
the Aero Club Of America to meet the
President at Oyster Bay. The appoint
ment will probably be made for Wed
nesday.
August Post, secretary of the Aero
Club of America, came here from New
York for the purpose Of making tive
propositions to Thomas Baldwin. who
delivered under a contract dirigibls
balloon to the United States army
pending its acceptance at trivial fights
to be held next week
The first proposition was that Mr.,
Baldwin should come to Brighton Beach
on Saturday and give joint exhibitions
with MIR. Farman. Mr.. Baldwin to use
bis diriaible named ''the Mustang Of
the Air" which he describes as a"run-
about"
This invitation was extended BY Mr..
Farman through Mr. Post. Mr.. Baldwin
was compelled to decline, as it would
take considerable time to get all parts
of his small dirigible together and
would also interfere with his prepare
tons for the final acceptance trials of
the dirigible now at Fort Myer.
