To THE question, Iss contribution 70
the national campaign fund Of a party
a violation of the Bsrksdale pure cleo
ton law? Mr.. L. Il. Mschen, Of tbis
city, in a letter to The Richmond Timts
Dispatch raises seversl interesting points.
Mr. Mschen personally fayors populsr
campaign contributions in national cleo
tious on the ground that a large fund is
needed to run a presidential campaign
and thinks the Barksdale law never in
tended to forbid such contributions, bot
he adds this supposed intent cannot con-
trayene the terms of the statute should
they be f.urd to apply to such ooDtribu-
tions. He quotes subsection 2, Of
Bsrksdale law which provides:
Tost no person shall expeud, pay,
promise, loan or become pecuniarlly
liable 10 any way for any money or
other valuable thing in behalf of any
candidate for Office at any election, prl-
mary or nominating convention held in
this commonwealth. Any person or
candidate violating any of the provisions
of this or the preceding section of this
act shall be subject to q fine of not less
than 500 nor more than 81 900, or con-
fined in jail not less than one nor more

TOday's Telegraphic News
Eucharist Congress.


London, Sept. 9.-Every Catholic
Church in London was crowded this
morning at the services preliminary to the
opening at 8 O'Clock of the 18th annual
International Eucharist Congress, the
first gathering of it's kind ever held 10
Protestant country. The more important
churches were occupied by prominent
bishops, but even the humblest chapel
bad some high functionsry in charge Of
its services.
OF the nine cardinals 10 attendance,
Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore is easily
the most prominent with the exception
Of Cardinal VannuieIIi, the papal dele
gate and president of the congress. Van
nutelli has been in conference with Glib
tons and 1t was reported today that he
contemplated visit to America soon.
Gibbons is the guest of the duke OF Nor
folk.
The anti-Oatholic feeling eugendered
by the protests OF the Protestant alliance
is msnifestipg itself on every hand.
Whenever any of the church digpiisrles
appear on the streets, there are kisses
and hooting from Protestant radicals.
The authorities are apprebeDsive lest
this feeling develop ioto q demonstra-
ton which will forever disgrace the en-
pirs. Heavy police guards have been
ordered for every outdoor feature OF the
congress. fd
Rain married the opening OF the
congress though it did not prevent
Westminster Cathedral from being
crowded by one OF the largest throngs
in its history. 10 conversations today
several OF the Catholic diguitaries ad-
milted that London was chosen foT the
convention on account Of the spread OF
Catholicism In England, which fact Is
urged by the Protestants 10 their oppo-
silion to the congress.
Archbishops and bishops are present
from every country In Europe except
Russia and Turkey, and from Algeria,
Central Africa, Cape Colony, Canada,
United States, Mexico, Brazil, India,
Burmah, Australia aud New Zsalapd.
The sectionsl meetings, two 10 Eng
lish and one in French, are set for to-
morrow, Friday aEd Saturday. A feature
Of the week will be Saturdays process
sion Of $4,000 children from the Lon
don aDd0 English provincial Roman
Catholic schools pact the archbishop OF
Loudon's residence where the high
iunctionsries will review them.
Intense interest has also been maDi-
tested In the Byzantine Liturgy to be
celebrated at the Cathedral. The rite,
sanctioned by the Holy See and still In
use In Atis Minor, Bulgaria and Mace
donis, has never been sxempli6ed in
the West.

FRENCH MANEuYERS

The French army maneuvers which
began yesterday in the Touraine rgicn
are considered the most important since
war play was insugurated under the re-
public in 1891.
As If in RESPONSE to the German ma
neuyers now being held across the French
fronli.r, the opening positions Of the
French armies will be somewhat anal
ogous to the situation existing on the
eve of the war Of 1870, which brought
about the overthrow Of Napoleon III
and the establishment Of the third re-
public, and caused the loss to France Of
Alssce and part of Lorraine.
The two French frmies are command
ed by Generals Millet and Tremeau, and
each is composed Of two corps, besides
special wireless telegraph and telephone
systems, snd balloon and bicycle brig
sdes. The whole msneuvers are under
The supreme commsnd Of General La
Cr0ix.

London, Sept. 9.-England's pride

that Of either America or France,
England's closest rivals. This est mate
Of Strength Is declared ridiculous by The
anti-government press. Many of the
vessels included 10 the list, 1T is declared,
are either obsolete or out of repair.
The real figures should read, these papers
say. as follows: Thirty nine battleships;
81 armvred cruisers, 124 completed

The Air Ship,

Washington, d. o.. Sept. 9.-To
America, and 10 OrvilIe Wright, q
modest young man from Dayton, o., go
the honor Of accomplishing the most
wonderful feat in aviation yet recorded.
The Wright seroplsne, operated By
the aviator, whose brother Wilbur has
been conducting successful tests 10
France, sailed today over and srouud
the parade grounds at Fort Myer, Va +,
for 81 minutes and 81 seconds, ex'
ceeding by more than rs minutes the
hitherto Withdrawing record made last
Monday by Delagrsnge near Paris.
During the flight the machine main
tanned an average speed OF about 80
uiles an nOur less than that required
under the government contract for speed
on a straightaWay course.
Upon slighlipg, Wright expressed the
utmost establishment that he had re-
NAMED in the air for so long a time,
and regrets that he had not made II an
hour. 81 could have remained up ten
or fifteen nlinut longer" he said. 81
still had some gasoline left. The motor
worked almost to perfection, There being
only 40 occasional slip. l shall try
another flight as soon as l can load up
the gasoline tank and look over the
engine"
This mornings fight started al S:l5,
the atroplsne being launched as usual
from track laid upon the ground and
by means Of counter balancing weights.
Weather conditions could not have been
more favorable. Attracted by the an
nouncement that Wright was to try for
record fight, a crowd OF army and
navy officers and citizens had gathered
on the parade grounds. When it be-
came known that Wright had broken
the worlds record of 81 minutes con-
tinued flight, and there WAS apparently
no desire on bis psit to return to earth,
rousibg cheer went up. From then
Oh, every person who owned watch
Kept tab and hurrahed as the minutes
sped by. Finally when the seroplane
gently descended and poised expectlnt.
ly above the ground, the crowd rushed
for ward, and as it came to standstlll
softly as a bird slightiDg, every person
present shouted congratulations to the
svist r. While reflling bis gasoline
tank, Wright announced thst he would
fly again this afternoon, and make aD
attempt to break this mornings record.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPT. 9. 1908.

Mr.. TAFT shoUll be taken In hand
and net be allowed TO make any more
extemporsueous speeches. In his ad-
dress al SaDdusky, Ohio, yesterday, he
made a fool of himself and offered
grstatious insult to fully one half the
uutrammeled yo;ers ofthe country when
he said "And want to say to the
men and women Of this country-for
want 10 interest the women on these
ouestiops--thst the election of Mr.. Bryan
would be menace to the confidence
which is necessary to the confidence on
which prosperity rests." Mr.. Bryas IS
IS fully deserving the confidence OF the
public as is Mr.. Taft. He has received
more votes than any democrat who ever
ran for the presidency and would have
won had the election not been bought
By the republican leaders. The election
of Mr.. Bryan would be no more q
nmenace to the confidence in which
prosperity rests" than would be the
electIon of Mr.. Taft. The latter in all
his speeches states that be believes i'm
plicibIy 10 tas Roosevelt policies, 3"
which have put prosperity at unrest and
have demoralized business throughout
the length and breadth of the land.
The republican, by their long contiOu'
suce In office have become arrogant
and such statements as that by Mr.
Taft, referred to above, should e resented
by all people of common sense. The
democrats have just as much interest in
the welfare of the country as have the
republicsns-prObsbly more.
