Wrl3ht's Claims.

New York, Aug. 1O.-Iu the sate-
ment made today by Orville Wright,
just before sailing on the Kronpriuzessin
Oecilie, that the aeroplaoe invented by
his brother and himself has nov been
perfected 10 the point that 1t can remain
In the air for IS hours and travel 1000
miles, men interested in aeronautics see
the dswniug OF new era 10 methods of
locomOtioD.
The only thing that has prevented the
Wright brothers from making one OF
these 1000 mile trips, 0rVille declared,
was the question OF the durability Of the
motor which has not yet reached the
state OF development attained by the
aerOplane itself.
1--WE can already carry fnel sufficient
for a rs hour fight" slid Wright to-
day, "but there has not yet been devised
sn engine which csn be thoroughly
trusted. What is needed mos. now in
he world OF seroDaulics is an engine
which will not stop until the aviator
stops it. When we have such an en-
CINE, aviation becomes practicable aud
saIe. speed is no longer the question. 3"

Is reported today from many count J
districts throughout Sseden where the
strikers are trying to get farm lsborers to
join The strike, IL is right in the heart
OF the hsrvest season aud general strike

Troops hurried from the capital today
to the most disturbed districts. Only
mesger details of the disturbances In The
country are known, owing to the suspen.
sion of newspapers. Several are reported
to have been killed. There is no sign oil
a break In the striking printers ranks,
and 1t 10 gness-wotk when The news
papers will appear again.
There Is little likelihood of the rail-
road employees walking out tomorrow, the
date originally determined upon. 10
many respects the life OF the city Is
normal aud 1t is believed that the strike
will be ended this week. The only thing
that bids fair to proloug the strike in
definitely is the hearty manner in which
he strike is being supported financially.
Lsbor organizations everywhere are re-
spending to the appeal for aid and II

lion of which side can hold out the long
