Some of them also attended tife in- ternational parliamentary union at Copenhagen. e Among the returning congressmen were Senator Joseph Robinson of Ar- kansas; Senator Kenneth McKellar of Tennessee; Scnator Willlam B. Me- Kinley of Illinois; Senator Claude Swanson of Virginia; Representatives Nicholas Longworth of Ohio and J. E. Raker of California. Senator Robinson, who was minor- ity leader of the senate, has been men- tioned as a presidential | possibility, when asked if he would accept the democratic nomination, said: “I want to render the best service of which I am capahle in the United States sen- ate. I am seeking no further advance- ment. I don't want to impair my use- fulness in the senate by, becoming a candidate for the presidency.” Senator Robinson said thaty while adjustment between Germany and France would not be immediate, nec- essity probably would soon force working agreemént which would be the forerunner of a complete adjust- ment bétween the two nations. Senator McKeller declared that an-| other war in Europe can not long be deferred. “All nations are either preparing for' it or planning to,” he sald. Hatred of each other is the dominant characteristic of all the na- tions I visited.” France is amply able to pay interest on her three billion American debt, according. to Senator McKellar, who ysaid the foreign debt commission should urge an immediate settlement. Senator Swanson said he had reach- ed the conclusion that there would be no war out of the present political chaos because the people are war- weary. He predicted a dictatorship for Germany as a result of the es- tablishment of dictatorships in Italy, Spain, Russia and Bulgaria. He said the people are foolishly throwing away: their parliamentary rights and the very institutions that gave them freedom. . Senator McKinley said Germany could pay a reasonable amount in reparations if the allies would agree en the sum. OUTING OF T. & H.

DIG UP PHOI ICIAN CITY San Lucar, Spain, Sept. 26.—While digging for the ancient district of Tar- tessus a group of archaeologists have discovered a Phoenician Necropolis. Human remains were unearthed and also a number of stones inscribed with fllegible characters. Tartessus, believed to be the Tar- hish mentioned in the Old Testament, is supposed to have extended on both sides of the Guadalquivir river in what is now southern Spain. It was colonized by the Phoenicians for trad- ing purposes, the country being rich in all kinds of metais. ag rifles, &1 Hours Brusels, Sept, 26—Helgium appears to have won the international balloon race for the Gordon Bennett cup again this year, either with Demupter, the landing of whose balloon Helgica at 1 o'elock Monday night about the center of Bweden, gives him a dis- tance of about 600 miles, or with Veenstra, piloting the Prince leopold, whose fate at the moment is still un- known, Demuyter's when he won miles, and his time hours, as compared with 21 this year, The tragle race Sunday from the broad plain of Holbosch, outside of Brussels, caused the death of five pllots or aides, the grave injury of one and less serious injuries to four others, the destrue- tion of several of the balloons and the fall of twe of them into the sta—all of which may lead to the race rules being changed for future contes Dubals, who had a miraculous ecscape when the French balloon Savole fell mass like, owing to the snow which collected on it, wants the race in June or July. Others are strongly of the opinion that a more favorable season of the year for the contest would mean less danger to the lives of the contestants. President Jacobs of the Belglan Aero-club is against changing the regulations so far as concerns post- poning the start, The date was chosen, he says, because cyclonic conditions existed which were necessary for dis- tance, and desired by the pilots; anti- cyclonic conditions would give no in- teresting results. The equinoctial per- fod was chosen because then the pre- valling winds in Belglum carry the balloons toward central and southern Europe, not towards England and the ocean. The Gordon Bennett cup, he added, was always competed for at this time of year. Capt. Dunville of the British Ban- shee III suffered a sprained ankle in landing. ‘He said the trip was ex- ceptionally trying. After rising more than 600 feet the Banshee III ray into a snowstorm, and dropped at a giddy speed, making a most abrupt and vio- lent landing. The Spapish pilot, Magdalena, of the Ferdnadez Duro, also encountered snow. His craft also whirled down- ward, but landed without damage.
