Wright last evering attained the zen
it'll of hard earned success. In g ten
mile cross country flight in his aero
plane accompanied by Lieutenant
Foulois ne not only surpassed the re-
quirement of his contract with the
government, bat accomplished the
most difficult and daring flight ever
planned for heavier than an air fly
ing machine. incidentally he broke all
speed records over the measured
course and established beyond dispute
the practicability of the aeroplane in
time of peace and war. Wright's
speed was more than AZ miles an
hour. He made the ten-mile flight in
IA minutes and AZ seconds, including
turn beyond Shutter Hill, the southern
end of the course He attained a
height in crossing the valley of Four
Mile Run, nearly 500 feet, and the av-
erage altitude was 200 feet.
Pre- ident Taft arrived at Fort Myer
just in time to see the aeroplane land
and to participate in the demonstra-
ton which welcomed the triumphant
aviators. He sent Colonel Treat to
bear congratulations to the victors.
The usual preliminary tests COM
pleted, Lieutenant Foulois climbed in
to the machine, and as the motors
picked up the impetus OF the blades,
Orville epped aboard and the aero
plane rose.

Payne Analyses Bill.

Mr.. Payne's statement comprised an
analysis of the bill, showing both the
increases and decreases, but this de-
tailed presentation was preceded by a
general summary in which he under
took to show the extent of revenue in
creases and decreases according to
schedules.
According to this showing the total
increases were on importations valued
at 1852 ,512,525, and the total decreases
on importations amounting to $497S,-
122,124.
In this statement Mr.. Payne said
that he had made an investigation
based on the census revisions OF 1905,
showing the amount of domestic con-
sumption of articles upon which duties
have been raised and also the articles
upon which duties have been lowered
by the bill as finally reported from
the conference committee.
Duties have been lowered where
they have been too high under the
present tariff, sometimes prohibitive
in character, and for that reason the
importatisns were comparatively
small On the other hand they have
been raised in some instances where
the tariff was insufficient for protec-
ton and the importations were very
great
