wilbur and Orvflle Back at Fort Myer and Are sanEuine of Success With Their Air
 chip

Washington, July 1.-The progress made today toward the resumption of aights by the Wright aeroplane at Fort nyer was in marked contrast to the inactivity Of yesterday.
 wilbur Wright returned from New York, where he went to consult the manufacturers of the magneto, which has been causing the Wrights much trouble. Orryille also arrived from Dayton, brining with him the cloth Tor repairing the crippled wing.
 The brothers were in an optimistic mood today. They appeared to be par ticularIy enthusiastic about the glide which Orville made on Friday, when his motor stopped in the air. Orviiie figured that. the flying machine was sixty-five feet in the air when the mo- tor stopped and that the total distance covered in the glide was about 45o feet, or drop of one foot for about each seven feet travelled forward.
 Before e motor was installed the ma chine in gliding dropped one foot TOT every eight feet that 1t advanced ana the wrights had estimated that with the added weight of the motor and pro- pellers the drop would be much fas- ter.
 Speaking of his speed trial. Orvilie said he was confident that he would make forty miles an hour over the mile cross country course.
 As a result of his visit to the mag neto makers, Wilbur Wright holds the belief that the high voltage developed jumped the insulation of the magneto wires. The insulation, therefore. Is be- Ing increased and 1t is believed that no more trouble will be experienced with the motor.
 If everything goes smoothly and the material which Orville shipped from Dayton arrives promptly. the Wrights believe they will be ready to resume the preliminary trials by Friday or Safurdav

Remarkable Scene Enacted in German
 Court Room.

 Court Room.
 Berlin. July 7-Prince Philip Zu Eulenburg had an attack of heart fail ure in court today while undergoing an examination at the hands of phy- sicians to determine his physical fit- ness to stand trial on charges of per- jury alleged to have been committed during the Harden-Von Moltke case. which was an outgrowth of the round table" scandals of 1907.
 When the proceedins opened today the presiding judge asked whether ceedings. Zu Eulenburg, who seemed to be suffering. answered that he did not think so. The judge thereupon re- minded the Prince that the commission of physician upon arriving at the cas- tie of Liebenberg. had seen the Prince walking on the grounds. but hat he had at once entered the castle and gone to bed.
 The members of the commission de- clared that in their opinion the Prince was sufficiently strong to stand the trial. They declared that when they examined him he had simulated weak ness and checked his breathing to af- feet his pulse. thus endeayoring to deceive them.
 The Prince, who was sitting in an easy chair, arose al nebe romaTA6 ana stood trembling before his accusers Resting his hand on the railing in front of him. he said:
 That Is not true. That Is not true have never pretended. have an interest in being weyy. l want to gei through with this trial and what would be the sense of my pretending?" why did you hold your breath du. ring the medical examination?" asked | the nudge.
 T did no such thing" retorted the Prince. shaking with excitement.
 The public prosecutor thereupon de- manded that the Prince be placed un- der arrest and not permitted to give bail. Before ruling on this request the judge consulted with his colleagues on the bench and decided that Zu Eu- lenhurg should be examined by Profes- sor Kraus. who was present. The ination begun. While undergoing 1t. tho Prince was seized with cramps of the heart Ills pulse rose to 132 and he fainted away The Princess Zu Eulenburs and the Princes son were thereupor summoned from the witness room. Re- storativcs were applied and after thu Prince had partially reganed con- sciousness the court re-assembled. The Prince lay on an invalid chair with hi! ! eyes closed.
 Professor Kraus declared that ths Prince was not able to go on with the trial. whereupon the public prose. cutor withdrew his motion for arrest and the case was adjourned indefinite

Houston, Tex. July 7.-That the de- -struction of Houston's 317b.ooo labor headquarters which was destroyed by fire yesterday morning. was doubtless the work of an incendiary, to cover up the attempted murder and robbery of the Secretary of the Labor Council, E. P. Lord. has developed.

Monaxite Sand-One of the Petty
 Tariff Steals.

Philadelphia Times.
 The tarifG duty on mona2ite sand was substantially increased by the Senate the other day. Ever hear of it? Doesn't sound at all exciting. does 1t? And yet 1t is one of the finest illustrations of how the tarifr Is used. and how the dominattng forces in the Senate have assisted in having 1t used. to increase the cost of necessaries- of life to the people. for the benefit of special interests. It was one of the most excuseless eases the whole revision has developed; al- most as exouseless as the fixing of the duty on sleotric light cartoons in the interest of a single concern at Cleveland. It seems, indeed. that there Is a conspiracy to make light. in whatever way 1t is produced. aR expensive as possible. There was even a determined fight to save the Standard oil its duty on petroleum
 But as to monaEite sand. There are great deposits of 1t on the Bra zilian sea coast; 8 small deposit in North Carolina; and Senator Hepburn

French Paper Respects Our Naval
 Power.


 Paris, July 1.-The Temps takes is- sue with M Michel, who declared yes terday, in the Chamber of Deputies. during the debate on the naval inquiry commissions report that Germany stood second among the naval powers.
 The Temps points out that second place is held by the United States. which with a fleet of sixteen battle ships, accomplished an admirable feat In the circumnavigation of the globe.
 The paper adds that all English authorities class the United States second among the naval powers. Ger many.therefore would be third. and France fourth.
 Germany's advance is explained by the fact that Germany has been able to devote appropriations to the building of new ships. while France has been forced to expand her ap- propriations in the maintenance of an already large navy.
