Speak- ling of the tariff and reciprocity con- ference he said: “l am not in favor of reciprocity i that gives up -any part of our market in the hope of getting other markets. i Reciprocity on competing articles will pot be provided during the next con- gress. The reciprocity movement now {going on in some states has done a ! vast deal of harm. i “Who can point to-a man crying for reciprocity who hopes to have the {duty lowered on his own product? | Manufacturers of New England aslk i for reciprocity with Canada, knowing | that the farmers of the West would ibe compelled to bear the burdé.. i There is not a single argument ad- i vanced by the leaders of this move- ment at is not founded on the Dem- ocratic docirine.

AERONAUT BLOWN TO PIECES, Dynamite in Bailoon Explodes in Midair. Greenville, 0., Sept. 2.—Professor John Baldwin, the first American to invent an airship that could be made to fly against the wind, was literally blown to atoms at a height of 2,000 faet before the eyes of several thou- sand persons.

The dynamite, through some unaccount- able accident, had exploded and the man and his monster craft had been torn to shreds by the powerful ex- plosive. | Roosevelt received during the day an | ‘Washington, Sept. 2—Eminent engi- neers of America and Europe met here during the day on the call of Presi- dent Roosevelt to investigate and make recommendations as to the type of canal that is to connect the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. ‘The members were met by Chairman Shonts, who, in a few words appro- priate to the occasion, expressed the belief that good results would follow their deliberations. The board of consulting engineers will have referred to it all the data that has been collected by the com- mission bearing on the subject of a type of canal. This data may be suffi- cient for the. board to determine whether the' canal should be construct- ed with locks or should be a sea level canal and it the former should be rec- ommerided then details as to the char- acter of locks will be taken under dis- cussion. The recommendations of the consulting engineers will not be final, but will be made to the isth- mian canal commission, which in turn will use its own judgment in a re- port and recommendations to the pres- ident. The final conclusion as to the iype of canal will be settled by the president and congress. In calling the board of consulting engineers to- gether the president directed that in case there was a difference of opinion among members of the board there should be minority reports. It was also stated that the board might visit the isthmus before making its final report if it should be deemed neces- sary. * The board of consulting engineers will not have referred to it detailed questions of engineering connected with the construction of the canal | after the type has been determined. | Beyond making recommendations as | to the Lype of canal, whether locks or sea level, together with suggestions as to the method of constructing the lock canal, its duty as at present de- fined and understood by the commis- sion will cease. ¢ BIG DEPEW DEBT IS PAID.
