SYNOPSIS.

Professor Desmond OF the Peak observa-
tory causes a great sensation throughout
the country by announcing that what ap-
pears to be a satellite is approaching at
terrific speed. Destruction of the earth Is
feared. Panic prevails everywhere The
satellite barely misses the earth. The at
mospheric disturbance knocks people un-
conscious, but does no damage. A leaf
bearing a cabalistic design hutters down
among the guests at a lawn party. 1t is
Identical in design with a curious orna-
ment worn by Doris Fulton. A hideous
man-like being with huge wings descends
Doris ornament and starts toward her.
The men fear he intends some harm to
Doris and fierce battle ensues, in which
Tolliver and March. suitors of Doris, and
Professor Desmond are injured. The fly
ing man is wounded by a shot from Toll
liver, but escapes by flying away. A far
mer reports that the flying man carried
off his young daughter.

Sir Edward Grey. who, however. limited

said:
we have reached a stage at which the
concert Of Europe is so firmly established
that the adjournment of the ambassa-
dorial conference can raise no doubt re-
garding the health and well-beng ot the
concert We have reached an agreement
on the subjects Of Albania and the ISL
ands in the Aigean Sea"
An international commission OF con-
troll. Sir Edward Grey explained, will set

der prince TO be selected by the Eu-
ropean powers. while. regarding the
441gean Islands, the powers. including
Italy. have adopted the self-denylng ord
nance that none of the islands shall be

tiny, he said. is to be settled by the
concert Of Europe when Turkey carries
out her treaty with Italy and the Islands
now In the hands of Italy are all availa-
bic for distribution.
Dealing with the situation in Macedonia
and 1hrace Sir Edward Grey averred that
every state connected with the Balkan
war mad during the last few weeks disre-
garded treaties and agreements and tried
to take advantage OF the situation The
only really satisfactory feature. he said.
was the cessation OF hostilities and the
fact that oemobilization had commenced.
With regard To Thrace and the fortress
of Adrianople Sir Edward Grey bluntly
stated that If Turkey did not accept the
advice of the powers her action would
sooner or later. either by financial dis
tress or armed Intervention, bring her to
disaster. but he took some OF the sting
out of this declaration by saying that the
European powers would require some time
to examine the situation before deciding
on the final steps The Foreign Secretary
cor cluded:
IL 40 think that both Turkey and the
Balkan allies must nos count on the
belief that the abstinence of the powers
from forcitle Intervention during the last

When Smaller Sum
Was Decided Upon.

London. Aug. 12.-Willlam Redmond,
Nationalist member for Clare East,
and brother Of John +. Redmond, in
the House Of Commons to-day raised
the question Of the governments de-
cision not TO participate in the
Panama Pacific Exposition. Mr.. Red
mond said the refusal Of the govern
mcnt to exhibit at San Francisco had
caused great dissatisfaction among all
the English speaking peoples.
Francis Dyke Acland, Parliamentary
Under Secretary TO the Foreign ONCE,
replying to Mr.. Redmond, repeated IN
substance Sir Edward Grey's statement
in the chamber last Tuesday, in which
the Foreign Secretary said that under
the present circumstances the British
government would not be justified In
asking the country TO incur the heaNE
expenditure required for participation
in the exposition.
Mr.. Acland said the government was
anxious to cultivate in every way the
friendliest feelings Of the United States.
hut that the whole matter resolved it
self into the question whether an eX-
ransion of trade would be likely TO
result from participation sufficient TO
Justify the government in expending
81 10000 OF the taxpayers money.
Turning 10 Mr.. Redmond, Mr.. Ackland
said:
IF We were having an international
exhibition here do YOU think Congress
would be anxious 10 vote S1.250,0o0 in
order that the United States might par
ticipate? I believe Congress granted
only 100000 toward the San Fran
cisco exhibition, while this country is
asked TO appropriate two and a quarter
times as much"
