served several years with us already.

PECK DECIDES TO Fly
FROM HERE WITH MAIL
Will Not Make Trip Until July
and Will Start From
Washington.

HEMPSTEAD, N. Y. May 25.-Paul
Peck, the Washington aviator, has de-
cided not to try until July to carry
the United States mail from New York
to Washington, d. c. Peck said today
that he has received word from the
United States weather bureau that
strong winds will prevail for some
weeks from the south, and in order to
have favorable conditions he will start
his trip from Washington and fly direct
to the post Office in New York.
Peck will leave tomorrow for WASH
ington.
Amid forked lightning and high above
the whirling storm clouds that rushed
over Nassau boulevard aviation field
last evening. Peck broke the American
endurance flight record. He remained
aloft hours % minutes and Is seconds.
Peck's finish was probably the. most
thrilling incident in American flight
800 o'clock in the afternoon under ideal
conditions. The wind was high, but 1t
blew steadily and the sun shone bril-
liant1y. His craft Travelled at a rate of
sixty miles an hour.
Aloft in Electric Storm.
:. From 7:10 o'clock until he landed Peck
gave his audience great anxiety The
thunder drowned the sound Of his motor.
For more than half hour he was abso-
lutely lost in the cloud ocean. 1t was
not until shortly before he began to
come down that the frightened watchers
caught sight of him high in the air. The
rain had begun to fall in torrents. The
wind blew at the rate OF sixty miles an
hour. Suddenly the fury Of the electric
storm broke. In the vivid illumination
the fascinated spectators beheld the little
aircraft speeding around at height OF
z, 600 feet. The aeroplane seemed to be
enveloped in the lightning.
As 1t became apparent that Peck was
steering the craft earthward the men
rushed out to build fires by pouring oil
on the ground and they waved their Ian
terms frantically. The beacons helped him
find his way.

Stevedores May Go Out.

Reports indicate that the present forces
at Banes and Nipe bay are inadequate to

POLL TAKEN IN THE SENATE
Forty Votes for Him, Opposed or
Doubtful, Fifty-Five.
SHERMAN GOES TO CHICAGO
Rumored That Vice President Will
Tell the Senator Of the
Situation.

Senator Lorimer Of illinois will receive
word direct from his friends in the Senate
that they cannot hope to save him in his
fight for the retention OF his seat Al
though It is not admitted that Lorimer
will be urged to resign, it was said he
might decide on that course
Vice President Sherman left Washing
ton last night for Chicago. 1t was said
that his mission was private business,
but 1t was rumored that he would see
Senator Lorimer and communicate to him
the result Of poll of the Senate. That
poll shows:
Certain for Lorimer 10; certain to op-
pose him, 50. doubtful, 16 There is one
vacancy.
The attitude Of the senators whose
votes are classed as doubtful has given
the friends of Senator Lorimer much
concern. Although nearly a week has
gone by since the poll was made the
Lorimer supporters have not been able
to add one name to their list. Those
classed as doubtful have refused to give
to the Lorimer men any indication of
their intentions.
LIorimer men were forced to the con-
clusion that the list of doubtful votes
was too large to give them any chance
to win IL the case were brought to vote.
1t was decided, therefore, to submit the
exact situation to Senator Lorimer.
Think Lorimer Should Resign.
o,, - =. -. of Oh, 7 or;rnor c,p-
porters authorized to speak for the junior
Illinois senator today. but it was argued
| that he should resign and not further
embarrass his friends in what they felt
| would be a futile battle. 1t was argued
further that Senator Lorimer should be
content to rest on his former victory, and
the fact that a majority of the commit-
| tee which investigated the charges the
second time had reported in his favor.
Finally it was agreed that the only
thing that could be done would be to pre-
sent the situation to the senator himself
His health has been impaired through
out most Of the present session, and ne
has been unable to remain here TO iooE
after his own interests. 1t was thought
that he might be Influenced to abandon
| the fight on that account.
Lorimer Loses Curtis.
| One severe blow to the Lorimer force:
was the knowledge that Senator Curti:
| of Kansas. who voted for Senator Lori
! mer last session, would be against him il
| the case again came to a vote. This off
| sets the gain by Lorimer of Senator Jone:
| of Washington, who last session voted
| against him.
Senator Curtis justifies his change by
| his friendship for Clarence S. Funk o,
| Chicago. general manager of the Interna
| tional Harvester Company. a lifelong
| friend. The kansas senator says the
| testimony given in the last investigation
| clearly raises a question of veracity be
tween Funk and Edward Hines, Chi
cago lumber dealer, charged with having
| said he helped put Lorimer over" MIR
Curtis says he believes Funk.

Every bridge between Rellano and Cor

stroted most of the railroad behind them.
Near the Rebel Front.
The federal cavalry today was within
two miles of Corralitos, the rebel front,
and Gen. Huerta has ordered his horse
men to hurry north to check the insur-
rectos engaged in destroying bridges.
The federal columns are in much better
condition to resume the campaign than
government were small. This was be-
cause the artillery of the federals kept
the rebel infantry back SO far that their
fire was ineffective.
Gen. Orozcos cannon were practically
useless The shells were Of poor manu-
facture and the range of guns short, most
of the shells exploding three hundred
yards short of the federal lines.
Much Ammunition. Used.
One and a half million rounds Of am
munition were used by the federal infan-
try and 400 shells were fired by the ar
tillery during eighteen hours of fighting.
according to a statement by Gen. Huerta
today. The artillery inflicted q terrible
punishment on the insurgent columns.
Some of the shells severed the fleeing
rebels troop trains, killing scores at
time.
More than 800 dead and wounded rebels
were found on the battlefield behind Rel
lano as the federal advance guard under
Gems. Rabago and Telles pressed north
ward in pursuit of the retreating insur-
rectos.
In all, Gen. Orozco is estimated to have
lost nearly 1900 of his force Of 5000
rebels. Two thousand are reported to
have fed in disorder, and the dead and
wounded ultimately will amount, 1t is be-
lieved, to a thousand.
We mean to press the campaign vigor-
ously, said Gen. Huerta today. THE
victory has once more shown the power
of the government. Our men are full Of
