assumed such lively turn that the
other questions for the time being
have been overshadowed.

Mclean, will be accorded signal hon
ors. A special committee has found
a large number of charter members
who will escort Mrs. McLea nto the
platform. Following an address of
welcome by her. Vice President Sher-
man will speak and he will be fol-
lowed by Ambassador Jusserand of
France and Judge Henry Stockbridge.

Mercer, Pa, April 19.-That the
woman charged with the abduction Of

parents, whose character and stand
ing are above reproach, is what the

Their Benefit

Washington. April 19-Members of
congress are to be given a practical
demonstration of the progress that
has been made in aerial flight and of
its possibilities in warfare. The sig

its trials at Fort Meyer, has in view
the opportunity which these tests will

aeronautical division may make a be-

aerial fight, while the United States
has only one small dirigible and two
free balloons of practical value.
AS soon as a hydrogen gas gener-
ating plant is set up at Fort Meyer,
probably this week. the officers of the
signal corps will begin to train men
in the balloon squad by making nu-
merous flights in the signal corps
number eleven. This is a new spneri-
cal balloon having capacity Of 35,-
600 cubic feet of gas and carrying
three people. 1t has made several
successful trips.
AS soon as the tent for housing the
dirigible number one has been erect
ed, Lieutenants Frank P. Lahm and
BENJAMIN D. Fouliers will resume the
flights which were terminated last
October. One of the trips proposed is
to cross the Potomac from Fort Mey-

The dirigible. the only one in the pos
session of the government, was pur-

Thomas s. Baldwin, after he has COM

The sentiment of the troops in the

palace. The moving of troops loyal

Anzlegar says it will require two or
three weeks for the Young Turks to
transport the Third army corps to a
position in front of Constantinople,
but that the defeat of the Third corps
before its concentration is impossible.
The sultan will have no time to make
preparations to meet the Salonikians.
