REVOLT OF C0NVICTS
 IN A FRENCH PRISON
A Protest Against Bad Treatment and Insufficient Food.

Paris, Sept. 13.-After a rebellious manifestation which has lasted two nights and a day, the inmates of the Central prison of Riom, in the depart mont of the Puy de DOmo, have been obliged to capitulate. They were not overcome without considerable trouble.
 The revolt started at bedtime on Friday night, when a number of con- victs began to shout revolutionary cries, tore the bars from the cell win dows and threatened the warders and the prison surgeon. Next morning as the warders were incapable of restor- ing order, a company of infantry was sent for.
 The troops arrived with loaded rifles and surrounded the prison. It was de- cided to bring about the submission of the convicts by starvation After twenty-four hours fast the prison CTS on the top floor of the prison promised to cease rioting if they were given something to eat. Food and drink were distributed but as soon as the convicts received the rations they low cred half of the provisions by a cord to their comrades on the lower floors. When their hunger was satisfied all the convicts commenced their former tactics again. and the prison became a veritable Bedlam.
 Today, however, the revolt appears to be at an end. The authorities have decided to investigate the complaints of the convicts that they are badly treated and insufficiently fed.

 The president said the wage work CTS of the country have not a truer friend than Taft He will do wrong to no man, and therefore he can be trusted by all men," He says that injunctiOns were issued while Taft was on the bench, and while they have been attacked he was willing to rest his case on those very in functions. The letter calls attention to the fact that Judge Taft upheld and, for the first time, gave validity to the principle of the employers liability for injuries to workmen.
 Taft was the leader and pioneer while on the bench in the effort to get justice for the wage worker: in a jealous championship of his right, and all upright, far sighted laboring men should hold it to his credit that at the same time he stood against the abuses of capital. If elected, he has shown by his deeds that he will be the president of no class, but of the people as a whole. He can be trusted to stand against two real enemies of democracy-the man who to please one class would undermine the whole structure and the man who to secure business prosperity would sacrifice every right of the working people"

A BOOK ON AIRSHIPS
 BY SIR HIRAM MAXIM
Capitalists Will be Interested In Their Man.
 ufdCture In Two Years
The Inventor Believes That the Wright Brothers Are On the Right Track--The Machine Must Be Heavier Than Air.

London, Sept 13-A remarkable book on flying machines by Sir Hiram Maxim will appear here in a few days.
 It will contain 55,OOO words with more than 100 photographs and me chanical drawings All the illustra- tions have been produced by the author himself.
 "The hook" said Sir Hiram yester- day, "is the result of twenty-five years observation and study, but it is not a text book It has been written to read.
 Within two years from the present time" he said, "the flying mcahine in dustry will have reached a stage where capitalists will be willing to invest money"
 Count Zeppelin will never succeed in making practical airship on his present lines and the military people at Aldershot are simply wasting their time.
 When the publisher of my book asked me what I should say about Zeppelin, retorted that I saw no req son why should say anything about him at all. told him that before the book was published the Zeppelin air ship would have smashed itself up and I seem to have been right.
 Tt is impossible for him or the peO- pie at Aldershot or any one else to succeed so long as they stick to the balloon. The reason is obvious and incontrovertible.
 Anything on the balloon principle has to be lighter than air. It must, therefore, be extremely fragile, and is liable to be destroyed by any little gust of wind which may occur several times 9 dav.
 Tt is just as impossible to navigate balloon in a rolling and tumbling at mosphere, such as prevails almost everywhere. as it would be to get a jelly fish to swim across the rapids below Niagara falls.
 Zeppelin has the cleverest balloon makers in the world-the Spencers- to help him, and they are making his gasbags of the same material as that used for the Aldershot military air gOldbeater's skin. NulIi Secun- dus was made of that material. and it was the best possible balloon that could be made. But with everything in its favor it was impossible to re- turn to it's point of departure.
 "I have spent a good deal of money on airship experiments. or I might make another now. In those days I had to depend on a heavy steam en- zine, whereas now they have motors. But the successful men have all gone on my principle. and the Wright Bros. seem to have produced the best ma chine so far.
 You know. they come from Ohio" Sir Hiram said facetiously, "and in America they are saying that some men are born rich, some are born

tUCHARISTIG CONGRESS
 BROUGHT 10 AN END
The Greatest Crowd in London Since Queen Victoria's Funeral.

London, Sept. 13.-A great process sion of the Catholic clergyf which brought the Eucharistic congress to an end was held this afternoon. Cardinal Van Buttelli, the pope's legate, walked at the head of the procession. No such thrOngs of people have been seen in London since Queen Victoria's funeral, if then.
 A great majority of the spectators were attracted by curiosity and a small party was openly hostile.
 There was considerable cheering by the Catholics and "booing" by others. Cardinal Gibbons preached at pOntical mass. At one place where several streets converge the crowd was so great that the procession was broken up by the spectators, but the police cleared a lane, and the procession pro- ceeded in single file.

THE CRIME
 OF ORSINI Another Story Told After a Half Century
It is Denied That the WOuld-be Regicide Threw a Bomb.

Rome, Sept. 13.-Count Charles di Dudio. who was a companion of Felix Orsini in his attempt upon the life of Napoleon III on January IA, 1858, and was then sentenced to death, but par doned through the intercessiOn of Queen Victoria, has after fifty years silence thrown an altogether new light upon the affair in a letter to a well-known Italian notary, which Is published by the "Secolo'
 Rudio states that in 1857 he met at Charing Cross station, Mazzini, who asked him if he was still prepared to rid the world of Napoleon III. On RudiO replying in the affirmative, Mazzini replied that the moment had arrived. The question arose what would be the best arm to employ, a silent rifle to be used at a palace ball being the first thought of
 Ultimately it was decided to use bombs. and they were accordingly made in Birmingham foundry after the plans of an eX-colonel of the Austrian artillery.
 The statement continues that Rudio and Orsini met in Paris at the corner at the Rue de Pelletier with a stranger. who asked how the affair was getting on. Having regarded him closely, Ru- dio exclaimed. Tt is Francis Crispi" Orsini was much annoyed at his com panion having recognized the future prime minister of Italy.
 Several others, it Is alleged, took part in the plot and no less than twelve bombs were in the hands of different persons ready for use, of which only three were actually thrown. The first was that of Gomez. which wounded Orsini himself in the temple. As the blood was streaming in his eyes Orsini put his own bomb wrap ped in a handkerchief in the ground, where it was found the same night by a passer-by.
 Di Rudio then stated that the second bomb. the one which wounded the em- press, was thrown by himself No one knows who threw the third bomb Or sini, who was guillotined. certainly did not throw one; and the letter which Cavour published after Orsinis death, in which the latter was suppos- ed to confess, was fabrication.

President Roosevelt Set a Montana Cor

The Republican Candidate is Described the Friend of the Working Man and all Other Classes, Now Before the People.

Oyster Bay, Sept. fS.-In reply to of Helena, one of Montana's Dromi- nent citizens and an intimate friend of the president, on the candidacy of NIT. Taft, and calling attention to a statement of Bryan's that he (Bryan was the presidents heir and natural successor, tthe President Sep tember wrote:
 T have received your letter about the candidacy Of Taft, a man whom I feel is in an especial sense a rep resentative of all in which I most believe in political lire
 The president continues that the great reform of the last few years must go on, and must be led by a true friend of reform, a true foe Of abuses, a man who steadily perse- veres in fighting wrongs and warning against abuses; whose character and fame are such that he never prom ises what he can not perform. but always a little more than makes good what he promises. While stead fly advancing he never permits him self to be led into foolish excesses which damage the cause he cham pions.
 He says Taft combines all good qualities to a degree which no other man in our public life since the civil war has surpassed. He said that he naturally had a peculiar interest in the success of Taft and in seeing him backed by a majority in both houses of congress which will be par tial to his politics. He said that in the last ten years he and Taft had been thrown into the closest inti- macy, and in every essential point stood in the heartiest agreement.
 We have" writes the president, the same views as to what is de- manded by national interest and honor, both within borders and as regards our relations with other na- tions. He will not favor any ruinOus experiment like government owner ship of railways. He will stand against any kind of confiscation of honestly acquired property, but he will work effectively for the most efficient type of government super

The governments definite scheme with regard to this reform which long since has been asked for by the liberal and socialistic parties will be unfolded in the coming autumn.
 The armament of the forts in the lower Scheldt is also going to be rein forced. A new system of submarine mines has lately been experimented with in the presence of the war min ister, and would certainly prove very effective in the event of an attempt to invade Belgium by blocking up the Scheldt.

 Zeppelin will never produce a real flying machine" he declared emphati- caily. If he makes one flight and gets back he will be lucky. In making ten mile flights I reckon that he stands one chance of three in smashing his machine each time he flies. It is even chances that he makes three flights and gets back. It is two to one that he wrecks it if he makes six flights. That is in calm weather. In rough weather it is a dead certainty that his machine will be broken up"
