FINE SHOWING MADE
BY WRIGHT
ORVlLLE WRIGHT ENCIRCLES
FORT MYER DRILL GROUNDS
TIME AFTER TIME.

Washington, July 1.-Calm and con-
fident, Orville Wright late today en-
circled the Fort Myer drill grounds
time after time in his aeroplane in
by thousands of persons.
Shortly before O'Clock the aero
plane was wheeled from it's shed to
the starting track, Previously the
field had been cleared by a troop of
cavalry After the motor had been
tested the propellers were crankcd
and Orvillc turned on the motor and
released the machine.
AS it ncared the end of the start
ing rail, Orville turned up the for
ward horizontal rudders and the ma
chine arose into the air. 1t was a
beautiful start. Down the field the
aeroplane sailed, curved gracefully
about the lower end of and back up
the east side of the field along the
edge of Arlington cemetery. The
first round was made in so seconds.
Five times the machine circled the
field, attaining d height which varied
from Is to 30 feet.
On the sixth round Mr.. Wright
came to earth within Il few hundred
feet of the starting. point, complet-
ing the flight in exactly five minutes
The landing was perfect the machine
sWooping down in successive glides
until within q few feet of the earth
when Orville pulled the string which
stops the motor and the aeroplane
glided smoothly over the grass on it's
skids until it came to a stop, Again
the aeroplane was placed in position
on the starting rail. the motor was
tested and again the machine en-
circled the field with ease and grace.
Mr.. Wright approached dangerously
near the starting tower and flew
within a few feet Of the stables which
line the field.

BRINGS MANY TONS
OF CURIOUS RELICS

Hong Kong, July 2.-The German
steamer Peiho, which has been en-
gagged in scientific research expedi-
tion for some months, arrived today
from the Bismarck archipelago with
many tons of curios and fifty cases
to tropical butterflies aboard After
traversing many of the waterways of
the Bismarck group, the Peiho head
ed toward New Guinea and made it's
way up the kaserin Augusta river,
a distance of 230 miles from the
mouth. Many of the curios were se-
cured on this trip.
The steamer stopped off Saint
Mathis island, one of the widest and
most outlying of the Bismarck group.
The natives of the island bear bad
reputation among sailors and are for
the most part given to cannibalism.
The Peiho will return to the archi-
pelago later in the year carrying an
other party of scientists to continue
the work.

OFFICIALS PLEASED
WITH SHOWING
DEFICIT IN GOVERNMENTS REV.
ENuES is CAUSE OF NO
CONCERN NOW.

Washington, July 1,-Treasury Off
cials are pleased at the pres
ent showing of the govern
ment finances. Ordinarily u de-
ficit in the government revenues of
sS9.s11, 1856, as shown by today's state
ment, would not be a matter of con-
graduation. Nevertheless, at the
close of the fiscal year 1909, the
treasury officials express much graf
ification that the official estimate OF
deficit of $114,0OO,000, made last
December, has not been verified.
The customs receipts for the year
aggregated 1901 ,209,S63 which is an in
crease as compared with the last year
of s15OO0,OoO
The Internal revenues produced
s246S29. .06s, a decrease of about $4,000
600. Miscellaneous receipts aggregat-
ed $50, ,893,919. which is falling off of
about $6,500,000. The receipts from all
sources during the year aggregated
1904, ,432, ,S46. which is an increase over
last year of $3.50, 900,

Washington, July l.-Destruction of

ditional working quarters for the ex-
ecutive clerical staff, began today
when the excavators marked off the
ground for pick and shovel
This is the beginning of the reno
walton of the White House and the
further improvements by President
Taft. Mrs. Taft and the young peo-
pie will leave Saturday evening for
their summer quarters at Beverly
Mass. and in the absence of. the fam
lily the task of covering with fresh
paint and new upholstery, the age of
the old mansion which sheltered every
presidential family since John Adams
day, will be undertaken. Each sue
ceeding administration orders a reno
walton of the executive residence.
Sometimes the changes are radical
and elaborate. Seven years ago, about
half a million dollars was spent in
remodeling the interior of the White
House proper and in the east and
west wings. President Taft will ex-
pend not more than s150,000 for i'm
provements in the main building and
$4,000 including his offices. The re-
modelling done during the Roosevelt,
term will be accepted by the pres
ent administration unaltered.
The presidents efforts at public
economy are approved by Mrs. Taft
So far in the direction of economy
is she willing to go that her present
intention is not to avail herself of

china of new design to he handed

PLOT AGAINST CAR
UNEARTHEO
ANARCHISTS WERE PLANNING
TO ASSASSlNATE ROYAL
RULER OF RUSSIA.

Stockholm, July 1.-Further evidence
of an anarchistic plot to assassinate
the Emperor of Russia some time
during his approaching European
trip, was unearthed here today.
Adolf Wang, the Swede who last week
shot and killed Major General Brek-
man, chief of the coast artillery and
then committed ,suicide, belonged to
d group of anarchists who have been
plotting the death of the Russian rul-
er. Eight Russian anarchists were
arrested previous to the killing of
General Brekman. but their appra-
hension was kept secret. Two of
them were found hiding in the palace
Wang left a letter saying that mas
much as his Russian comrades had
been arrested it was impossible for
him alone to kill the emperor and
consequently he assassinated the first
high official he met.
