c. C'Bud'D Mars, the well-known avi-
ator, is in Sacramento attempting to
finance an aeroplane flight of indeter
inmate length, with the main object
the crossing of the Sierra Nevada
mountains.
Mars recently met Herbert G. Fow-
Ter, who failed to cross the Sierrass
in a Wright biplane, and gained valu-
able information from his rival. Ac-
cording to Mars, Fowler started at the
wrong time, as the shifting air cur
rents which Fowler met are not pres

winter.
Mars hopes to fly from Sacramento
to Reno on Thanksgiving Day. The
aviator formerly lived at Marysville,
and his wife, who is with him here, is

AIDED EDUCATION

WASHINGTON, November "a re
port on education in China has been
made by Harry Edwin King 1t re
views extensively the modern move.
ment for Western methods in educa-
tional matters, which owes it's origin
largely to the awakening of the Dowa-
ger Empress after the Boxer rebellion.
Commenting on her part in this i'm
portant change, Mr.. King says:
Convinced of the need of institut-
ing reforms, that woman of indomita-
BILE will stayed not her hand until she
had annihilated the old competitive
examinations and established a sys-
TEN of government schools that
should be free to poor and rich, male
and female, alike. This educational
reform was the conception of her
nephew Emperor, but she it was who
possessed the power to carry to com
pletion the greatest revolution in edu.
cation that the world has ever wit
messed. She lived to see it firmly es-
tablished and to know that the great
est of her people approved the estab.
lishment of an educational system
that would make possible the carrying
out of her promise that the nation
should have a constitution, provincial
assemblies and a national parlia'
ment"
Despite many defects in the very
complete system of education, the re
port states that marvellous progress
has been made. 1t finds that the at
tempt to make a combined course OF
study that would contain all the class
ical learning of the old literati and al
the arts and sciences of the West has
proved a failure, but that suitable
courses will be worked out to meet
the special needs of the Chinese peo

LOYAL|ST ROLLS ALARM CLAIMANTS
OF REVOLUTIONARY ANCESTRY

PHILADELPHIA, November C.
Some alarm has been expressed by
some persons who are connected with
various patriotic ancestral societies,
lest the muster rolls of the British
American or loyalist troops raised
here during the American Revolution
be published, as had been already
said was possible. The fear, it was
explained arises from the fact that
some of the members of these soci-
cites may discover that their ancestors
had been allied with or in the British
service instead of on the Continental
side during the war.
The muster rolls, which have been
in Canada for the last century and
quarter, as has already been told in
these columns, are about to be copied
for the Historical Society, which was
unable to obtain them by purchase,
as it desired. These rolls, numbering
more than 5000, contain more than
$4,000 names of Americans who en-
listed under the Kings standard dur
ing those days of strife for the coun-
trys independence. For some of the
commands there are as many as 27S
rolls, the number containing the mus
tering information regarding the Loyal
American Regiment. which was COM
manded by Colonel Beverly Robinson.
Names Of Commanders.
Some idea of the comprehensive
character of these muster rolls may
be seen from the list of commands
included These are:

Benedict Arnold.
Armed Boatmen, Captain William

ROME, November 5.--Careful inves
tigation of the circumstances govern
ing the selection Of the new cardinals
brings prominently to the front the
failure to promote Archbishop Ire
land. This is due to the Bellamy
Storer incident and the fear that
Theodore Roosevelt might claim the
credit of the advancement of the arch.
bishop.
Roosevelt would have been capable
of saying that the Pope had made
Archbishop Ireland a cardinal with the
hope that out of gratitude the colonel,
upon his next visit to Rome, would
prefer the Vatican to the Methodists, D"
said member of the Popes entour.
age.
According to the best information
obtainable, the appointment of Arch-
bishop Farley and Archbishop O'Con-
nell was due to Cardinal Merry del
Val, the papal secretary of state. 1t is
likely that Archbishop James Edward
Quigley of Chicago will be the next
American cardinal. Outside of Storer
pushing Archbishop Ireland's claims
too persistently, the suspicion that his
Americanism resembled modernism,
the Pope's bugbear, is responsible for
the failure to promote him.
The Pope is reported upon good
authority never to have received a no.
table American who failed to ask for
the advancement of Archbishop Ire
land. Archbishop Ireland's superior
qualifications for the cardinalate are
acknowledged at the Vatican, but the
Roosevelt handicap Gas too great to
be overcome.

RESIGNATION OF BALFOUR
AFTER A BRILLIANT CAREER

LONDON, November S.-Arthur J..

the City of London Conservative As.
ISOLATION. today announced to his con.
stiuents his retirement from the
leadership OF the opposition. I'm
paired health, increasing age and the
desirability of the leadership passing
into younger hands were the reasons
which he gave for this step in a
speech which was marked by much
feeling. But no one doubts that the
increasing attacks against him by the
ambitious younger Conservatives, par.
ticularly the tariff reformers, were the
principal factor in inspiring his decis.
ion
While a number of influential Union
lists and would-be leaders, notably Aus
ten Chamberlain and F. +. Smith
have been demanding his retirement
from the leadership, few believed Mr.
Balfour would drop the helm in such
an important stage Of the party's for
tunes, practically on the eve of the
introduction of the Irish home rule
bill.
The announcement was sharp sur
prise to all parties and made an i'm
mense political sensation. No sooner
was Mr.. Balfour's withdrawal known
than reports were circulated that
Lord Lansdowne, leader of the opposi-
ton to the House OF Lords, who
shared in the attacks, would accom-
Dany his colleague to the background.
But Lord Lansdowne issued a denial
of this tonight.
Mr. Balfour will remain in the
House of Commons, although he would
he elevated to the peerage if he so
desired. While he. as ex.premier, was
recognized as the leader of the whole
party, the leadership will now be di-
vided. his successor sharing it with
Lord Lansdowne. That successor,
doubtless, will be the Rt Hon. Walter
Hume Long, who represents the
Strand. A caucus has been called for
Monday to choose a new leader. Mr..
Long commands the confidence of the

party.

statesman whose brilliant and pic.

ton in this county as well as Ia Great
Britain. Upon entering live" politics
in 1885, as the nephew of his uncle"
the famous Lord Salisbury, he fought
with many ups and downs until in
1902 he was chosen to the position in

When Mr.. Balfour was made chief
secretary for ireland, his first import
ant post, the members of his party
were Disguised with the choice of
Lord Salisbury's nephew for one Of
the most important positions in his
cabinet. The Liberals, opposing the
Conservatives, were delighted to think
that Balfour, the dreamer and phil
osopher, would help along the down.
fall of the Conservatives. The Par
nellites in ireland were wild with Joy.
But all except Lord Salisbury soon
learned their mistake. Young Balfour,
who had formerly been noted for his

strated that he would carry out the
governments policy of coercion. So
successfully and fearlessly did he &C
complish it that he was threatened
with the fate of assassination that had
overtaken previous chief secretary
for Ireland, Lord Frederick Caven-

power to control issues there led to

principles set forth in his most inn
