AT yesterdays meeting Of the cham

Mex. Mcclellan, the chamber Of com.
mercc representative In Washington,
was read, bearing upon the proposed
coastwise suspension measure, the writ
or declaring that there was no hope
for its passage this year, but excellent
chances in the next session. His letter,
dated February 20, says:
Confirming my previous letter would
state that all possibility Of securing
action on the Coastwise Suspension Bill
at this session of congress has now van.
ished.
"There has not been short session
of congress for the past ten years in
which the business of both houses has
been so badly delayed and congested
as at the present session.
The serious question of whether or
not the Canadian reciprocity measure
can be put to vote in the senate, even
with the entire pressure of the admins
tration back of it, is one of a half
dozen examples Of the congestion which
makes it impossible to put through any
ordinary bill If it is objected to by
even single senator.
Conditions in the Sixty-second Con-
gress will be widely different from those
now obtaining and believe there will
be good possibility of passing that
measure at the long session. In this
connection I wish to call your atten-
tion to the Importance of your preserv-
ing data in regard 80 the infregnency of
sailings and of particular cases OF pas

Another letter concerning the Pan
American conference had special inter
| est for the chamber, as Mr.. Mcclellan
represented the chamber. His letter fol-
lows:
s'In accordance with your instruc-
tions / attended the sessions of the Pan
American Convention held here during
the past week as the representative of
your chamber
81 have mailed you copy of the
program which indicates quite fully the
general nature of the convention and
of the representation and actual attend
ance.
''The discussions for the most part
centered around the fact that for the
promotion of South American trade the
chief needs are increased steamer facil-
titles, American banks in the trade cen
tiers of South America and finally in
creasing tariff concessions by treaties
of reciprocity.
'eThe sentiment Of the convention
was undoubtedly strong for Legislation
to develop our merchant marine el
though much of that sentiment took
the form of advocating the American
registry of foreign built ships"

ming in six minutes. The engines of the
biplane were cut off at Hyattsville, and
not until the machine was ready to land
was the power again turned on.
Lieut.. Kennedy, during the trip to
Benning and return, manipulated a NOV
ing picture machine furnished by an
agent of the War Department. The pic
lures of the flight will be demonstrated
to the chief signal officer and are ex-
pected to be successful.
The Burgess-Wright machine, with
Lieut.. Kirkland as pilot and Private
James w. Whalen as passenger, followed
the Wright aeroplane. Lieut.a Kirkland
landed the machine at 6:42 o'clock.
Whalen is the first enlisted man to be
passenger on a cross-country flight.
With three smokestacks as his land
mark, Capt. Beck, flying at an altitude
of 1000 feet, returned to the aviation
field, and by the light Of a full moon
and two small bonfires made a perfect
landing. Averaging ninety miles an
hour Capt. Beck made the fastest time
in his Curtiss racer that has ever been
made in this city. AS a result of the
successful after-dark trip, Capt. Beck
will practice night work soon.
The army aviators will attempt q more
difficult flight this afternoon at I O'Clock,
when they may fly to Annapolis. The
machines which make the trip will be
landed at a country home on the Severn
River, where Lieut.. Kirkland and his
brother officers will be entertained.

Attend the Congress.

Since The Washington Herald, the
other day. urged the wisdom of proper
representation upon the part of WASH
ington at the international municipal
congress and exhibition at Chicago. Sep
tember IS to 80, the Commissioners have
appointed an excellent committee OF
delegates. II is also gratifying to learn
that Washington is to be represented on
the programme of speakers by four of
our citizens.
Business men of this city frequently
are appointed delegates to conventions,
but they forget that they are delegates
as soon as they lay aside the letter which
brings the information Of their appoint
ment. In this case. the Commissioners
have appointed thirteen representative
citizens to the municipal congress.
Washington hopes that all of them will
60, attend the sessions of the conven-
ton. see the civic exhibits, and bring
back the useful information which they
are sure to find at so great gathering
of people interested in municipal de-
velopment and betterment Unfortu-
nately, We have no expense fund for
such delegations Washington must de-
pend upon the public spiritedness of her
business men to accept such assignments
and carry them out

Garry Union Labor Cards.

Among the speakers at the Labor Day
celebration at Benning yesterday were
several members OF Congress- These
men were significantly entitled to make
such addresses. for in their pockets
was the union card. In the lower House
OF Congress there are fifteen men who
are in good standing in labor circles.
They are members OF some organization
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor. These men are:
Wilson. of Pennsylvania. coal miner
Lee, of PENNSYLVANIA. blacksmith
Martin, of Colorado. locomotive fire.
man.
Cary, of Wisconsin. telegrapher.
Berger. of Wisconsin, typographical
union.
Hughes. of New Jersey, textile worker
Buchanan, of Illinois, structural iron
worker.
McDermott, of Illinois, telegrapher.
Lewis, of Maryland. coal miner.
Smith, of New York, telegrapher.
Anderson. of Ohio. musician.
Sherwood. Of Ohio. typographical union
Roberts. of Nevada. metal miner.
Farr. of Pennsylvania, typographical
union.
Maher. of New York, halter.
1t speaks well for labor to have such
a body of men looking after its inter
ests in the National Legislature. Not
that other members do not do so, but
these men are particularly fitted to de-
fend the cause of labor.
Tariff legislation took up most of the
special session just closed, and there
was little opportunity for other bills,
but when the regular session begins,
labor need not fear for its interests
The workingman has friends who will
see that he gets fair treatment in Con-
gress.

Unrest in Mexico.

With the resignation of Diaz and the
assumption of power by De la Barra,
pending a national election, it was the
impression in this country that Mexico
would be peaceful. Our troops were
Withdrawn from the border and we
looked for the strong control of Ma
dero to keep the peace. Unfortunately,
recent events have shown the fallacy
of our hopes.
Mexico is a Latih-American state 1t
is not a reflection on the European
fatherlsnd that the Central and South
American countries are in continual un-
rest. 1t is due as much to conditions in
the western hemisphere as to the in
herited hot blood of the Latins. Mixed
with Indian blood, and with large per-
sentage of colored ancestry, no such sta
bility as have the Germanic races can
be expected. For that reason it is for
the best interests of all that the people
of those countries be protected against
themselves by such a dictator as was
Diaz,
Mexico will make progress, for its
natural resources will bring capital and
foreign genius to its shores. With the
physical development of the nation. there
should come more political freedom, and
for this it is necessary to give assur-

Housing of Our ENJOYS.

As the result of the authority grant
ed by Congress recently to provide at
foreign capitals embassies and legations
which are owned by the government, re-
quests have been sent to all our am
.bassadors and ministers plenipotentiary
to submit estimates of the cost of suit
able residences. There is no use dis
cusSing at this late day whether or not
our diplomatic representatives abroad
should be housed in a style in conform
ity with the dignity of their high Office
In many instances our representatives
have settled that question themselves,
and their establishments, in splendor of
appointments. compare favorably with
those Of any other diplomats with whom
they have to associate. The cost is so
enormous that it can be borne only by
very wealthy men. Hence the circle
from which our Presidents may choose
men able and willing to stand the ex-
pense of necessity is rather small.
This burden ought not to be imposed
upon individual citizens. Presidential
selections ought not to be limited to
those only who are able to crafty their
taste for show because they have the
necessary requisite in cash. Congress,
by its grant of authority to supply our
representatives abroad with Trapping"
which custom and. associations are
making indispensable, even for repre-
sentatives of republic, shows real
ization of the fact that. being in the
game, we must play it as well as the
rest.
Having decided to house our foreign
representatives at the cost of the gov
ernment, Congress now ought to make
adequate provision The cost of am
bassadorial residences has been limited
to $4,000. Some of the residences oc-
.cupied by our ambassadors, especially in
the larger capitals, could not be bought
for twice that amount. An an1bassa-

Aircraft in War Time.

Maurice Farman, whose knowledge of
airships is admitted by all, comes out
strongly in favor of the bipIane for use
in military work He may be pref
udiced by the fact that his is prob
ably the best double plane machine
made in Europe and the holder Of many
records. but his words, nevertheless,
carry weight.
The chief advantage of the biplane
over the monoplane lies in the ability
of both pilot and observers to see ahead.
In the recent French maneuvers this
was demonstrated to the satisfaction OF
the French government. Another
marked advantage is in the ability of
the biplane to alight on all sorts of
ground, owing to solidity of the runners
and supporting wheels.
First of ALL" said Mr.. Farman, Il
am not an adversary of the monoplane.
consider it is the best aeroplane for
speed 1t is the ideal racing machine,
but it is not solid enough for alighting
abruptly. If it comes down on unprc-
pared ground, there are many chances
that it will turn turtle. This fact is
proved by the number of mOnoplanes
which have been smashed in alighting
during recent cross-country races.
From a military point of view the
aerOplane must be able to carry an OBJ
server. Besides being free for OBJ
servations without having to bother
about the handling of the machine, the
passenger must be able to take photo
graphs. This last point is most i'm
pOrtant. have seen many photographs
taken by officers during their flights,
and these are documents of the great
est importance to control their obser-
vations Experiments are now being
carried out in the east of France and
will be continued during the maneuvers
by the officers carried as passengers
in the biplanes 1t is idle to discuss the
position of inferiority OF the single
handed pilot of an aeroplane to do the
same work
The monoplane, which is a marvellous
machine when constructed to carry a
single person, becomes very fragile
when made for two The wings must
be enlarged considerably, and this rem
ders them too frail to support a hard
contact with the ground.
For scouting purposes, the mono
plane may be of great use; but the real
military aeroplane is a strongly con-
structed biplane, which can alight with
out danger on any ground. 1t comes
to earth gently, avoiding accidents.
Furthermore, it has the advantage when
starting of rising after very short
run Those who elaborated the condi-
tions of the coming military aeroplane
competition knew well what was want
ed, as they showed when they insisted
on the point that all the aeroplanes en-
tered for the competition were to be
able to carry two or three persons"

Ovation as They Are Wheeled About Track

three daring aviators who between them
made history at Benning race track were
given the greatest ovation Washington
has yet accorded an airman by the
throng that saw them fly yesterday after
noon.

track in the car which The Washington
Herald had sent to meet them. As the
big automobile, with its white streamers
and banners whirled around the course
the army officers first blushed in keen
embarrassment and mumbled confusedly
Of dinner and home. But the cheers
were beyond the power of man to with
stand, and when the car stopped at the
end of the second mile and the cOncouTse
clambered to the car rail. the army men
arose and bowed their thanks to those
who had welcomed them.
The Washington Herald car, a model
q Buick driven by r. II. Martin, with
three representatives of the paper,
started for Benning long before the air
men had tuned up their machines pre-
paratory to making the big fight.
Reaching the grounds. the big, gayly
decorated car was escorted by Capt.
Daley, of the Ninth precinct, to the
green oval wherein the aviators were

mittee. headed by Chairman John

landed not 100 feet away from where

waited.
Then followed the successive arrivals

to the automobile the Marine Band
struck up the national anthem and a
thunder of applause broke from the
grand stand.
The motorcycle race completed. Chair
man Colpoys was invited to join the
army men in a little spin" around the
track. Little expecting what was in store
for them, the aviators climbed aboard
and the big car Circled out of theoval
and on to the track. Once on the sanded
back stretch the car was started at full
speed.
Men and women from all parts of the
field crowded to the ropes beside the
track and waved acknowledgment as the
aviatOrs sped by.

Bowing right and left the aviators an
swered the plaudits of the onlookers
until the track was cleared and they
were allowed to return to their biplanes.
For five minutes the cheering was con-
tinuous. and even after the officers had
left the grandstand the multitude con-

ever received" said Capt. Beck as the
