Test of Lifting Power Only.
AS Mr.. Ames explained, the whole the
DRY of his machine is that the force of the
driving power of the propeller causes the
ascension of the craft by the revolutions
Of the drums. This much of the capabii-
ties of the machine was strongly noted
in the test Yesterday afternoon. The
airship remained dashed to the platform
as it will be throughout all of the tests,
! and the lifting power was noted through the
tugging at the lashings. The machine not
only lifted its own weight in this way,
but also additional weights in the form OF
bars of lead which were attached to it.
Since the arrival of the airship here
many citizens of the town have been
stirred TO great enthusiasm and a num-
Der of persons gathered along the river
front, believing that the representatives

river, but they We're SOrely dKappOinte ed.
In the tests the motor of the airships
was controlled by the dynamo aboard the

only as to the lifting power. the size of
the propeller, motor and other minor de-
tails are to be worked out later.

On Distaf Side
He Is a Cecil

ter of the second Marquis of Salisbury
Mr.. Balfours mother, before her son
was out of kits, began to train him
for the public service in that practical
fashion practiced only by British wom-
en- of the ruling classes
From the time he could talk he was
made to take an interest in agricul-
ture, and his duties and responsibilities
as landlord were never forgotten.
When he was twelve years old, young
Balfour delivered his first speecn-an
address to his tenants.
He never has progressed beyond the
precepts of his mother. and his no
lions concerning the relation of land
owners to the nation are the same
which he expressed in that first speech
fact. in itself, is an indication of Mr..
Balfour's fitness to command the COM
plete and unquestioning loyalty of
every British tory.
His mother possessed the highest ideals
of her class and while insisting always
upon her peculiar privileges, she never
forgot, nor did she permit her son to
forget. the debt owed to the lower classes.
During the terrible cotton famine caused
by the civil war in the United States she
made her son Arthur do the work of the
house, black the boots and clean the
knives. This was to show her sympathy
for the starving laborers.
But only a British mind, tory at that.
can explain why, when half of England
was starving because there was no work
for the workmen, Lady Blanche Balfour
should have economical by making her
son do the work of the servants. Never
theless, the story is told to show the
keen sympathy of the Balfour tribe Tor
the unemployed.

Senator Albert B. Cummins of Iowa, in
Il speech before a Chautauqua audience
here last night asserted that the pledge
of the republican national platform for
revision of the tariff was not fulfilled,
and that Senator Aldrich and Speaker
Cannon and the others who took the
lead in framing the tariff bill had never
attempted and never intended to keep
the pledges of the party
Senator Cummins came into the home
of one of the KANSAS regular congress

to give this message. The senator was

in the house of lords. second in command
to Balfour in the tory ranks. At eighteen
Balfour entered Cambridge.
His health was delicate, and he took no
part in the college sports, this being the
only blot on the record Of his youth
which even tory enthusiasm cannot wipe
out. He became a recluse, and devoted
himself to the study of philosophy and
the writing Of sonnets.
When he became twenty-one, according
to ancient custom, he gave great feast
for his tenants at the manor of Whit
tinghame. At that festival the late Lord
Salisbury, Mr.. Balfour's uncle, was pres
ent. Young Balfour made a typical speech
to his tenants, and then, still according
to custom, the spokesman for the ten
antry humbly thanked the young squire
for his gracious words, and prayed that
the young man would follow in the foot
steps of his father, and take the first
opportunity of entering parliament.
This appeal of the tenantry was sec
onded by Lord Salisbury, still according
to custom. But young Balfour's tastes
were not political, and parliamentary life
held no charm for him.

LONDON. July 12.-Arthur James
Balfour. leader of the opposition in
parliament, captain of the conserv-
ative party, and the political head
of the Cecil family. is the incarna-
ton of all that one has been taught to
believe goes to make up an English
gentleman.
AS matter of fact, he is not English
at all, but Scotch He was born in
1S48, in house hard by Castle Doug
las, where the sad tragedy of Mary
Queen Of Scots was enacted.
On one side lies the picturesque slope
OF the Lamermoor. and on the other
the banks of the Firth of Forth, which
flows toward the North sea, to be seen
in the distance. 1t has been said that
this birthplace, with its historic and
aristocratic traditions. has had much
to do with shaping the intellectual per-
sonality of the great tory statesman.
Mr.. BalfOur is a strange combination
of strong man of action, positive and
determined. and d dreaming philosO-
pher, never quite sure of anything.
These traits may have come to him
when he breathed in the Scottish mists

strength, stories of mysticism and ia

England. He continued TO insist that
his nephew enter politics, and at last, IN
1873, Mr.. Balfour yielded and was return
ed without opposition as member for
Hartford.
During the first two years he rarely
attended the sittings of the house. and
spent most of his time in taking trip
around the world 1t was not until the
third session of his membership that he
made his maiden speech.
