BERLIN, October S. 1910
The formation of a South American
triple alliance is presaged by the Rio de
Jsneiro correspondent OF the Hamburger
Nachrichten.
The visit of the future president of the
Argentine, DR.. Rogue Saenz Pena to Rio
can be regarded, the correspondent says,
as a victory for Brazilian diplomacy At
the outset the idea was bitterly opposed
in Buenos Aires.
The majority of the Argentine nation
and all Brazil are. he states, overjoyed
at the visit. II is a sure guarantee that
the two countries. which, owing 10 all
kinds OF misunderstanding, have been
inimieally inclined 10 each other for years
past, will now live in peace and friend
ship.
When passing through Rio a year ago
DIR. Saenz Pena advocated d rapproche-
ment between the two countries. The
right moment for this seems now to have
arrived. The new Brazilian president,
Marshal Hermes da Fonseca, and Baron
Rio BraDce, who will probably be his
minister for foreign affairs. are both ami
mated by the same wish.

thas d continuation of the voyage with
the British Isles as the objective point
was hopeless. So, summoning aid by
wireless. the difficult and dramatic
transfer to the Trent was accomplish

fate of the winds.
Meager Details by Wireless.
For a, incident without parallel in
history the transfer of passengers
from an airship to a steamship, mea-
ger were the details obtainable by
wireless during the day. Wireless, at
all times more or less uncertain, was
rendered more so by the tropical storm
which swept northward, but tonight
wireless stations in the vicinity of New
York picked up from the Trent word
here and word there, amplifying on
the earlier dispatches.
Obliged to Throw Over the Fuel.
1t was learned that Wellman had
found it necessary to rid the a1rShip
OF the burden of most of it's gasoline,
retaining only enough to reach land
in the event that the Trent had not
come to the rescue. When the steam
ship needed the calls of distress Well

from the dirigible. AS a precaution
the Trent lowered her lifeboats, which
stood by until the transfer was effect
ed, and Wellman and his companions,
even down to the frightened kitten,
were safe on board the liner surround
ed by excited passengers.
Two Continents Waited Breathiessly.
The rescue was accomplished at
time when two continents awaited
breatfllessly the fate of the dirigible
and her crew. a feeling that had be-
come so acute here that President Taft
had authorized the navy department
and the revenue cut er service to send
out vessels in scar In of the missing
airship which, prior to the rescue, was
last in communication by wireless with
the Marconi station at Siasconset,

Location of the America Great Sur

Having been spoken by wireless, pre-
sumably in the vicinity Of Nantucket
at 1245 p. m, on Sunday, it was q
that the America had encountered the
Trent, 400 miles southwark and only
$50 miles northwest of Bermuda.
Captain Down of the Trent flashed
first news of the rescue in a message
to the New York Times, which. with
the Chicago Record-H Herald and the
London Daily Telegraph, contributed

tion.

PUBLIC UTILITIES BILL
DEBATE AT MERiDEN
Before an AssembIage in the Center
Congregational Church.

Meriden. Conn, Oct. 1S.-Much pub
lie interest was manifested in the de-
bate Tuesday night on the public utili-
ties bill at the Center Congrega tional
church. The speaker for the affirma-
tive was r. Q. Wells of Hartford, sec
retary of the legislative committee of
the State Business Mems association,
and the negative was taken by Attor-
ney Arthur G. Graves of New Haven.
Mr. Wells explained the purpose of
the commission and claimed that it's
appointment would serve to give ade-
qu;tre adjustment Of the various public
utilities, wherein the public would have
much to gain and the honest corpora
tons nothing to- lose.
Mr. Graves maintained that the real
question was in the method of doing
away with the evils, claiming that the
proper commission to be had was sole
ly a judicial one, and cited several
striking instances where public ser
vice commissions did not bring forth
the results expected.
No judges We're appointed. hence no
decision was made. The members OF
the Meriden Business Mems associa-
ticn v ere present by invitation
4 short public discussion followed

HARMONY IN SIGHT
FOR BAY STATE DEMOCRATS,
Deadlock Broken by Formal With
drawai of Charles HamIin as Claim
ant for tho GubernatorjaI Nonin alton

Boston, Oct. 1s.-But one man stands
between the democrats of Massachu-
setts and harmony after twelve days of
bitter controversy over state ticket
for the November election. If that
man, Frederick w. Mansfield, of Bos-
ton, carries out the alleged agreement
made in the last minutes of the famous
F'aneull Hall convention and with
draws his name as candidate for gov
ernor before 5 p. m. on Thursday, the
state ticket will be as follows:
Governor-Eugene n. Foss of Boston
Lieutenant Governor-Thomas F.
Cassidy of North Adams.
Secretary of State-Charles J. Mar
tell of Boston.
reasurer-Benjamin F. Peach of
Lynn.
Auditor-Charles c. Paine of Barn
stable.
Attorney General-John Ratigan of
Worcester.
The deadlock was broken today by
the formal withdrawal of Charles S.
Hamlin as a claimant for the guber-
material nomination, and within few
hours the committee of four appointed
by the convention had voted unani-
mously in favor of Mr.. Foss. The sit
uat1on was further cleared when the
Foss representatives on the committee
F. J. Mcleod and Joseph A Maynard
persuaded Thomas P. Riley of Maiden
who had filed papers for nomination
for lieutenant governor as a demo-
cratic citizen, to follow Mr. Hamlin
and Withdraw in favor of Mr.. Cassidy
Mr. Cassidy's name however. must
appear on the ballot as a democratic
Independent candidate for lieutenant
governor. as the secretary of state has
decided that as the convention failed
to make any nomination for that office
no committee has the power to fill
vacancy.
Mr.. Mansfield is an ardent labor ad-
vocate and one of the attorneys for the
state federation. He fought Mr. Foss
en- the primary stump and has repeat
edly declared since the convention that
he would not withdraw in favor of Mr.
Foss. The law gives Mr.. Mansfield
until Thursday night to withdraw. and
the committee until next Monday night
to fill the vacancy.
Early tonight Mr. Mansfield had
made no effort to Withdraw his name
In fact. his whereabouts during the
past three days was q matter of con-
lecture among the party leaders.
The state committee, however. will
enter at once upon the campaign. and
1t is expected that Mr. Fess will ap-
pear nightly on the stump, with de-
nunciation Of the republican admins
tration of state affairs as the battle
cry.
Boston. Oct 1s-Frederick w. Mans
Held was IOunQ at a. downtown hotel
tonight by members Of the committee
of four, who endeavored to have him
make some statement as to what stand
he intended to take. Mr.. Mansfield
refused to commit himself and told the
committee that he wished to wait un-
til tomorrow before making a definite
answer. After the conference with Mr.
Mansfield the committeeman seemed
hopeful that he would withdraw in
recognition of the unanimous vote of
the committee naming Foss for gov
ernOr.
