TURBINE ENGINES
 FOR NEW OREAOMAUGHTS
A Decision Reached As to the Mo-
 tive Power.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Both the new American Dreadnaughts of 26.O00 tons displacement, for which contracts were recently awarded, will be equipped with Parsons turbine en- zines. This decision was reached at a conference today between Sec retary Meyer and Admiral Cone, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, who had just returned to the United States from an extensive tour of European shipyards. The New York Shipbuilding company. which will construct the Arkansas, was notified some time ago that turbines would be installed.
 The decision as to the motive power for the Wyoming. to be con structed by the Cramps. was post poned temporarily. but Secretary Meyer and his associates today de- cided favorably for the Parsons tur- bine, feeling satisfied, as Secretary Meyer expressed it. that this will be more to the advantage of our government than the proposed com bination turbines and reciprocating engines which have been insistently urged by some naval officials.

WHAT HE MEANT

Baltimore, oct. 4-Before his lec- ture tonight Dr. Cook was shown the Associated Press dispatch from Cop enhagen relative to his reported in tention to request the university of that city to waive it's claim to the first examination of his records.
 After reading the dispatch carefully. he said: "A wrong impression has been received in Denmark as to just what I said in Washington last night. and this, too, seems not to have been perfectly understood in this country. In order that there may be no further misunderstanding, I shall be glad to have the Associated Press announce, as coming from me, that I shall ad- here to the original plan to have the University of Copenhagen make the first examination of my records, but that I shall ask the university to withhold the announcement of the re- suit of such examination until the re- cords have been examined simultan- eOusly by>all geographical societies.
 Immediately after they have been examined by the University of CopeI& hagen. duplicate copies of my records will be submitted to all geographical societies of the world and to any other scientific bodies desiring them

THE DANES
 DISTURBED. By a Misunderstanding of Dr. Cooks Statement CONCERNING HIS RECORDS.
He Hastens to Explain that

 He Wishes Announce
 ment of Result Withheld

Copenhagen, Oct. 4.-The announce ment of Dr. Cooks willingness to re- quest the University of Copenhagen to waive its claim to the first eXamina- tion of the records of his journey to the north pole caused keen disappoint- ment and, whatever may be the reply of the university to the explorers re- quest. present indications do not fore shadow graceful acquiescence on the part of the general public.
 The rector of the university today said: No such request has yet been received from Dr. Cook and it is i'm possible to say what attitude the uni- versity will take toward the sugges- ton that American and other scien- tific bodies first investigate the ex- plorer's data. The action of the uni- versfty will depend upon the reason pr. Cook gives"
 The general public is inclined to be annoyed at the suggestion that for eign scientific bodies first see the re- cords. The people consider the prom ise to give the university the first op portunity of passing or, records as nothing but justice in view of the honors heaped upon the explorer both by the university and the Danish pub lie and their ungrudging support and their belief in his exploits.

THERE ARE TEN V|C|MS
 OF RosLYN EXPLOSION
CAUSE OF DISASTER STILL UNI
 AScsRTAINED.
Deadly Black Damp Still Pervades
 the Mine.

Roslyn. oct. 4.-The number of dead as a result of yesterdays ex- plosion of fire damp in No. f shaft of the Northwestern Improvement company's mine is now ten, Otis NewhOuse, the foreman, having died today. J. J. Jones. an engineer. aged 60, who was supposed to be fatally burned, is recovering.
 Newhouse, who was 40 years of age. came from Streator. H., year ago, and his family arrived recently. At the time of the explosion New house was on the tipple laying a new floor. The explosion hurled him high aloft, and he fell on a pile of sawdust, 450 feet from the mouth of the shaft, with his clothing torn from him and his body frightfuIly burned
 At the shaft hole the situation is much improved today Strong streams of water were kept pouring down the shaft all night and this fore
  It is impossible to tell how seriously the mine is damaged and how long it will be closed. Last night a rescue party composed of Peter BagIey. Ar thur Hodder. William Harrington. John Graham, Harry Whiting and Frank Goode. entered the stope which is directly connected with the shaft. The party proceeded to with in 400 feet of the shaft level, when progress was cut off by cave in. They then entered the dip of the mine, hoping to enter the shaft by a circuitous route.
 They proceeded 5000 feet and sud- denly encountered black damp En- gineer Goode was overcome and was dragged to safety. The others man aged to escape The black damp is spreading, and it will require sev- eral days to pump it out. The ex- plosion has not been explained.

THE RE0PENING E : 0F WALSH CASE
DECISION FROM APPELLATE
 COURT EXPECTED TODAY.
Defense Introduce Additional Au-
 thorities Against the Verdict.

Chicago, Oct. IA document con- taining additional citations of re- gently decided cases bearing upon the question of the inconsistency and repugnance alleged against the yer dict of guilty found against John R. Walsh was filed with the clerk of the federal court of appeals here to- day. Walsh was president of the Chicago National bank, and was con- victed of misapplying the banks fluids. He appealed. and a decision from the appellate bench is expected tomorrow.
 Among other things alleged by Walsh's counsel is that the counts of the indictments against him were contradictory.
 Mir Walsh rose from obscurity to the mastery of millions. His bank was one of the city's big financial institutions. He obtained control of railroads, coal mines, quarries. steam ships and the like to an extent which, had his luck held, would have made him one of the countrys rich- est men. He is alleged, however, to have misappropriated s16.o00,000 of the banks funds through memoranz dunn notes, signed with the names of clerks, in an endeavor to keep his vast interests afloat.
 December IS. 1905, the Chicago Ma tional bank failed. Walsh was found guilty on fifty-fOur counts, and was sentenced to five years imprison- ment in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kas.

TWENTY MILES, 8 MINUTES
Manhattan Suspended Bus mess to See it Done-An Accident to Motor Pre- vented a Later Attempt to Outdo Achievement

New York, Oct. 4.-An aeroplane flashed past the white dome of Grants tomb today, then turning gracefully in midair over the waters of the Hudson, shot like a falcon back to Governors Island, ten miles away
 Wilbur Wright thus made one of the most spectacular flights in the history of aerostatics. Over masses of warships Wright flew for twenty miles-ten miles up and ten miles back-remaining in the air B min utes and B seconds and alighting at the aerdome without a mishap.
 During the flight business was practically at a standstill in all that part of Manhattan from which a view of the remarkable performance could be had Harbor craft shrieked their applause. and cheer after cheer swept up from the banks of the Hudson and the lower bay. for the aviator had made good" crowning the avia- tlOn program UT lile huuSOn-r ulton celebration with record
 Wright started on his flight up the Hudson at S:5S a. m. and finished at 1O:29:33. He had intended to improve upon his achievement of - morning by making a longer and more hazardous flight at sunset. but the crippling of his motor just as he was about. to start on the evening attempt dashed his hopes, as we'll as those of thousands who had as- sembled on Governors Island and along the water front.
 The flight was a surprise to all. Throughout the celebration the crowds waited in vain for the flight up tlA Hudson, expecting spectacular per- formances from Wright and Curtiss. But with the exception of Wright's flights on Wednesday. when he en- circled the Statue of Liberty, the clements prevented any substantial demonstration.
 Wright was preparing for the sec ond flight when the accident that marred the day of achievement Oc- cured. As a result of excessive eX- plOsive pressure, a cylinder head blew loose, and shot through the canvas of the upper plane. ripping a large hole. As soon as the dam age was ascertained, Wright ordered the machine wheeled back to the shed.
 The Curtiss machine. which it had been hoped also would fly today, was taken apart and shipped to St. Louis Curtiss will leave for St Louis to- morrow to give exhibition flights

 MT. Taft tried several times to secure quiet. He appealed on the ground of hoarseness and sore throat, but it was of no avail, and after speaking briefly on the subject of conservation, arousing cheers by the mention of Roosevelt's name, and that he was heartily in fa- vor of the projected improvement of the Sacramento river. the president asked to be excused He had no censure for the crowd. only sympa- thy, he declared.
