PROPOSED DISTRIBUTION OF
HANDBtLLs FAILS
Novel Method Of Propaganda Adopt
ed by the Militant Woman
Suffragists Of England.

LONDON, February 16.-Propaganda by
airship is the latest and the most ambi-
tious exploit of the militant woman SUI
fragists. An eighty-foot airship hired for
the occasion and manned by Percival
Spencer, the aeronaut, and Miss Muriel
Matters, one of the heroines of the Grill
incident in the house Of commons. went
up at Hendon this afternoon coincident
with the opening Of parliament. and head
ed toward London. The balloon was dec.
GRATED with flags and Miss Matters was
plentfully supplied with handbills favor
able to the cause. which she purposed
throwing out to be gathered up by the
people below.
1t was the intention Of Miss Matters to
pass over Westminster and distribute suf-
fragist literature to the crowds attracted
by the reassembling OF parliament. The
feeble motor on the balloon, however. was
not able to COPE with the adverse wind
and the airship never got within sight OF
the house Of commons After an erratic
flight it descended at Croydon.

Port for Rich Laden Gallons.

Acapulco, which has one of the finest
harbors in the world. was at one time a
busy and f1ourishing maritime city on
the Pacific coast of Mexico. 1t reached
the apogee of its fame and success when
the old Spanish galleons came out OF the
east laden with the wealth of the Spanish
colonies.
The name which was applied to the
harbor is contraction of the Latin
"Portus auuae pulchrae,' the port of
beautiful water. The water was clear
as crystal and so deep that 1t was pos
sible for ships Of great tonnage to come
up to the great granite rocks which lined
the shore. The harbor was almost en-
tirely landlocked.
Often only one galleon came in a year.
but so rich was the cargo that the dis
position or handling of 1t kept the in
habitants Of the little city busy until
the next arrival
1t was not unusual for consignments
valued at 100000 to be unloaded
from a single vessel. Part of it was
disposed of in Acapulco, for merchants
came from all along the western coast
Jewels. silks, embroideries, spices. tea
and the luxuries of China, India and
the Philippines were taken from Aca-
pulco to the city of Mexico, from which
the city is 231 miles In southwesterly
direction.
The Acapulco trail" famous in song
and story. which leads to the Mexican
capital. was nearly 300 miles long. and
1000 mules and pack horses were re-
quired frequently to transport what re-
manned Of the cargo Of a galleon to the
City Of Mexico. II any of the merchan-
disc remained unsold it was taken to
Vera Cruz and transshipped to Spain.
The building of railroads practically
ruined the commercial supremacy of Aca-
pulco, for the journey over the trail took
pack animals from eight to ten days. and
even the mails Travelled the distance in
four or five.
The Pacific mail steamships make Aca-
pulco a port of call and efforts have been
made to revive it's maritime glories. The
population Of Acapulco Is four thousand.
1t Is typical Mexican city in appearance
with It's narrow streets, 1t low houses and
its red tiled roofs

BASE BALL MEN IN SESSION
NO BOMBS THUS FAR EXPLODED
AT CHICAGO.
Joe Cantillon Much Sought After,
But Deity Declines to Let
Drop His Program.

CHICAGO. IT.. FEBRUARY 16.-No bombs
were exploded among the base ball mag
mates yesterday. as the whole force had
not arrived in town. but the big explo-
sons If there are any will come or to-
day. The big league meetings will begin
with due form and ceremonial this after
noon and then the shells will be pr1nned
and the fuses lighted. Maybe-Inaybe-
peace will orerhang the whole Joint and
the Annex will not see enough excitement
to scare the hackmen of the side porticos.
Harry Pulliam. who returned from
Notre Dame University today. said he
would not tell what was coming OF till
night. when he meets the assembled
scribes at a banquet. Garry Hermann
got in through the drifts. looking glum
and frosty. He thawed out under the
comforting influence Of a barrel of high
balls, but would not say what was coming
off. Neither would Ban johnson. and
everybody sat down to walt for Charlie
Murphy, the storm center
Chubby Cholle sent word that his wife
was better and that he would probably
come to the meeting.
One Of the most sought for men in the
annex was Joe Cantillon. Everybody
wanted to know how he was. how, many
red vests he had bought Tor the players
he proposed to trade and what he would
do about the fellows who were holding
out on him. Joe did great disappearing
speciality and was the hardest man to
locate in the bunch He explained when
he finally turned up at noon that he had
been out to see the old folks and that he
wasn't bit ratified about his club.
''If there are any trades to be made.
I'll be in on them quoth he. but where
can I better my team? Can I get a better
set of pitchers? Can find better catch

field or outfield? Maybe, but who's

some of them, though, before the evening

Alfonso of Spain Wants to Fly With
Wilbur Wright.

MADRID SPAIN February 16.-The pre-
mier, Senior Maura, declared today that
King Alfonsos visit to King Manuel Of
Portugal was Of private character and
that 1t had no bearing on the matrimonial
projects OF the Portuguese monarch

pressed himself several times recently as
being determined to make an aeropane
flight with Wilbur Wright, the American
aeroplanist, who is conducting a series
of flights at Pau. The whole court is
opposed to the idea. on the ground that it
would be a breach of etiquette. but the

ISSUES AN ULTIMATUM.
Senator Hale Threatens Insurgents
With Night Sessions.

~SSSASASs
In that gentle but oh. so misleading
way of his-the steel gauntlet hardly
visible meath the velvet glove-Senator
Hale laid down the law to the insurgents
in the Senate last evening. No man In
the Senate can deliver an unpaiatable
fact with more saccharine coating than
Senior Hale. However, the wise ones
know that 1t isn't the way he says it.
but what he means to imply. that counts.
Gently, almost bashfully. he promul-
gates a Suggestion which his auditors
know to be an ultimatum. 1t is delicious
the way he does 1t: in that deprecating
manner, as II he really hated to have to
do it. Kind of reminds of the woodshed
days Of youth. when Pa said 1T hurts
me worse than 1T does you, my SON."
So at the close Of business in the Senate
yesterday. Senator Hale in effect, though
not in words. announced to the insur-
with the progress Of the naval bill they'd
better be prepared to stand watch and
watch; this craft is not going to be taken
aback by any land-lubbers trihing with
the wheel. They will have to come early
and stay late II they want to discuss
things at length.
Senator Hale served notice on the in
surgents that II they delayed the naval
bill today they could expect night ses-
sions Of the Senate and earlier meetings.
VI course, we may De confronted with
some of the appropriation bills going
over" Senator Hale said ''If we do that,
1t will change the whole program for the
special session II that session IL open
to business generally, and appropria ton
bills and everything else. instead of get
ting off. as we hope. by the middle of
June, we will be here until August
II think the Senate generally has the
feeling that We will endure some pri-
vations and some hardships through the
remaining days in order to avoid that
which would be very irksome and bur-
densome to everybody.
