1.-The route is fairly clear as far as
Vienna, and after that the aviatOrs will
follow the course of the Danube as far

From Constantinople the Abatolia

sendino the Alien Insane Home.

New York, Aug H. - A conference
held by representatives Of the New
York steamship lines and the state in
sane hospitals will result in the send
ing 70 Europe Of about 1000 insane
aliens who would otherwise remain a
burden on the state.
These aliens if allowed to remain in
New York would cost the state $4,000
apiece, or $7,OOO,OO0, it has been esti-
mated. Their deportation could not
be legally demanded because they have
been in the United States over the
prescribed time limit when they be-
came public charges. 1t is estimated
that the action Of the steamship lines
will save the state hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars every year and will
render the erection of expensive build
ings for the care of these aliens I'M
necessary.
The passage money In each case is
paid by the state.
Some of the advocates Of the new
plan think that 1000 insane aliens can
be disposed of in six months. Others
believe they can be shipped at q rate
of thirty or forty a week, and all are
agreed that 1000 Is a fair estimate Of
the number that will be got rid of.

Oroanized TO Eioht Blindness,

Buffalo, Aug. 13.-There are more
than 100000 blind persons in the Unit
ed States, and it is estimated that in
10000 of these cases the loss of sight
was preventable. To combat this con-
dition the American Association For
the Conservation of Vision was organ
lied here. and this society is now car
rying on a campaign to raise funds for
it's work.
1t is the purpose Of the association
to endeavor to obtain through the
health boards Of the various cities eff
fective action for the control of these
infectious diseases Of the eye, especial
ly ophthalmia neonatorum.
The association is also endeavoring
to secure in factories and workshops
more adequate lighting and more gen
eral use of protective devices to pre-
vent accidents to the eyes. But, above
all, the association desires to extend
knowledge on the subject and enlist
the cooperation of all who through in
terest in the subject or through their
occupation can aid in preventing the
unnecessary loss of eyes through care
lessness or ignorance.

An Irish National Elao.

Dublin, Ireland, Aug. 11.-Ireland Is
busy planning a national flag Of her
own, so sanguine are the people, except
those of the north, that home rule is
on the way. The popular supposition
that the golden harp on a green ground
is the Irish emblem is erroneous, as it
is the flag Of Leinster, and objection
has been raised to 1t as the national
banner. Nine other flags have been
discussed in the press of Ireland, each
of which has it's adherents. The most
ancient of these is the spear and ser
pent," to indicate the recovery of
Gaedhal Glas from q snake bite by
the rod Of Moses.
Then there are the red hand on
white ground, which is the flag of the
O'Neills; the three crowns on a blue
field of Munster, the particolored coat
of Connaught and the king enthroned
of Meath.
1t was the green flag that few at
the battle Of the Boyne, and the color
is being supported by some on the
ground that blend of blue and orange
that produces green is typical Of the
union Of north and south. Charles
Stewart Parneli is said to have thought
the green flag i'll omened and to have
favored the golden harp on blue ground
as used by Grattan's parliament.

Russia Second Naval Power,


st. Petersburg, Aug. 13.-The third
duma voted $645 100000 to be expend-
ed over five years on the imperial
navy, which will place Russia next to
England in order of. expenditure and
ahead Of the United States, Germany,
France, Japan and Italy.
Such a tremendous vote of money
should, it is expected, have a signal
effect upon the naval policies of France
and England. and particularly on the
policy of Germany. At the present
moment Russia has four Dreadnoughts
completing in the Baltic and three on
the stocks in the Black sea, all build
ing from British designs. The first
four are to be ready during 1914, the
second three during 1915. Four more
large battle cruisers are apparently to
be laid down in the near future, which
will bring the Russian total of Dread
noughts to eleven.
A clear idea of the stupendous effort
which Russia is making may be OBJ
tanned by comparing her new program
with that laid down by the German
navy act of 1908. which has since been
expanded. The German act provided
for a total expenditure Of 81 .035, 600,
600 spread over ten years, giving an
annual expenditure Of $103, 600
The Russian act provides, as has been
shown, for an annual expenditure OF
$130.OOO,OOO in the next five years.
The action of thn Guma will in all
probability be followed by Il further
increase in the German naval propos

advanced toward the girl with out

She drew back from him, wondering
that he had not understood. Can

Suddenly a full realization Of what
the entire scene and the queens dec

nor's mind, and he saw that now in
deed was his own case hopeless.
The sound of chorus Of voices In
the outer hallway penetrated the room
voices which cried exultingly:

Anna Victoria fell on her knees,
buried her face in her hands and Sob
bed convulsively.
God save the king!" she cried.
"God save my king!'
The residence of the Laumanns pre-
scented a scene Of gayety, affording
striking contrast to the life which An

tie fat It. was evening, and the en-
bassy from Bosnia and Herzegovina
were, together with Stephen and Anna
Victoria, the guests Of the beef packer
at the reception which he was tender
ing as a farewell honor to .Trainor.
The members Of the embassy were
considerably impressed by the lavish
hospitality of Laumann. The dinner
which he spread for them was really
one at which court followers might sit
and feel perfectly at home. The wines
were numerous and select enough to
give entire satisfaction to even the ex-
acting Rumler
Late in the evening Anna Victoria
stood brooding in a dark corner of the
porch whence she had wandered to
gather her thoughts and to endeavor to
outline the course Of procedure which
she would follow in the future-after
Stephen ". had returned to Bosnia.
She started at the sound of footstep
beside her. She turned and saw that it
was Trainor.

at him sadly. Il used you very badly

RumIer now rudely broke into the
conversation. The duke silenced him
and continued:
Herzegovina decided to send these
gentlemen with our embassy. The
conditions upon which your majesty's
throne will be restored are three:

Second, that your majesty shall con-

1.-THE last condition we decided upon
this morning with the embassy from
Herzegovina" answered the duke.
Your majesty shall promise that there
will be no union of Bosnia and Here

At this denouement the unfortunate
fugitives from their native lands were
appalled,, for their minds readily grasp
ed the idea that the nature Of the re-
call would affect the relations between
Stephen and Anna Victoria.
Does that refer to our marriage to
the Queen?" asked Stephen ". quickly.

Anna Victoria stepped forward from
the chair she had occupied.
