Beverly, Mass,, Aug. 26.-—Continuing Bis series of conferences with party leaders and government officials, before tarting on his long trip to the west and south, President Taft had a two hours and a half talk this afternoon with Senator Nelson W, Aldrich and { Secretary of the Treasury MacVeagh. Senator “Aldrich, having just emerged from the long tariff fight, is about to take up the important task of just- ing the monetary system of the €oun- try, and it was in connection with his work as chairman of the monetary commission that he was called in con- ference with. the president today. Monetary. Commission’s Report Delayed Mr. Taft, before framing up his own legislative plan for the coming cefin of congress, was anxious to ascertain whether or-not the monetary commis- sion will be ready to report its recom- mendations’ this winter, It is"under- stood that a definite answer was not given today, but the chances. are that the monetary commission will not be able to place its conclusions .beforg congress for several months to come. There has been talk of calling congress in extra session in the fall of 1910, to begin consideration of legislation look- ing to the enactment ¢f such changes in the monetary system as the com- missior. may deem expedient. Senator Aldrich said after the con- | ference with President Taft that mat- ters had been discussed only in a gen- eral way. The monetary commission had expected to devote tlie entire sum- mer to the subjects that have been mapped out for its consideration, but the long tariff fight in the senate ut- terly defeated this purpose. Senator Aldrich went to New York tonight and will sail for Europe Sat- urday. Asked as to when the com- uld be ready with its rec- ommendations, he sald the report was not in sight. Scope of the Work Outlined. Benator Aldrich outlined in a general way to the president the scope and plan of the work the commission has itself to accomplish..

The Bond Issue Question. The question of bond issués, authbr- ized in the new tariff bill, came up for consideration this afternoon. The sec- retary of the treasury was authorized by congress to issue bonds for NOI 000,000 to reimburse the general fund for the building of the canal up to the amount of the estimated cost, some $400,000,000. Mr, Aldrich is in favor of withhoulding any bond issues for the time being in order that the mone- tary commission.may have time to con- sider this subject specifically and pos- sibly to arrange for the placing of a governmicnt 1.an, 8o, far as funds may be immediately needed, in one lump sum. There is no idea of issuing the Panama. canal bonds. any farther, than the money may be in demand. Maf- ters affecting the reorganization of some branches of the treasury Jepart- ment for the administration of the new maximum and minimum features of the Payne tariff law were discussed at today's - conference, and Mr. Aldrich, who wrote these features of the bill, outlined’ in detail his ideas as to how the principle will operate, New Tariff Commission. Secretary MacVeagh said today that he had not progressed much further than when he last saw the president with reference to the selection of members of the new tariff board or commission which is to advise the pres- ident on all matters of thke ariff and especially as to the application of the maximumi and minimum principle to nations which favor or discriminate against the United States as the case may be, _ John Hays Hammond a Caller.

Will Add $1,000,000 a Year to Post- office Department Receipts.- ‘Washington, Aug. 26.—Experts of the postoffice départment . estimate that the proposed increase of the registry fee from 8 to 10 cents will result in an increase of about $1,000,- 000 A year in the receipts of the de- partment. This estimate is made on the assumptign that the volume of the registry business will not decrease under the higher rate. Even if the business should decretse a saving would be made, because it now is be- ing operated at a serious loss. The government itself, in its yari- ous departments, sends an immeunse amount of registered mail which, of course, is carried free. If the proposed fee .of ;ten cents were applied to all government registry matter the addi- tional increase would amount to nearly $60,000 annuall, P CRASHES INTO A CROWD.

NEW WORLD’S RECORD MADE With His Monoplane Mounted 300 Feet Against Storm of Wind and Rain— **Two Practice Spins by Curtiss. Betheny - Aviation -Fied nneims, Aug. 26.—Hubert Latham, the French aviator, today had glorious requita) for the hard luck which he experienced i his recent attempts to cross the Enz lish Channel and his indefatigable, but hitherto unsuccessful, -efforts to ac- complish some notable achievement during the present meeting, by estabe lishing & new world's record for dis- tance, 154 kilometres, 650 metres, or 95.88 ‘miles. Latham covered 15 laps or 150 kilometres, in 2 hours, 13 min- utes, 9 3-5 seconds, which also are world's records, the flight being at th rate of about 68 1 lometres an hour as compared with 53 1-2 made by Wright rat -.e Mans and a fraction under 60 made by Paulhan yesterday. Empty Gasolene Tank. Except the one lap speed records made by Bleriot and Curtiss this week and Paulhan's time record in, the air, Latham now holds eve record for distance _and speed. ike Paulhan he descended only when the gasolems tank was empty. Fought His Way Against Wind and Rain. Nothing could have exceeded the beauty and impressiveness of the pro- longed flight. In grace of lines no other aeroplane here compared with Latham’s monoplane. #or an hour with fluttering wings, like a living thing, it fought its way against the storm of rain and wind at an aver- age height of 150 feet, mounting high- er as the wind rose, until during the worse of the storm, it was up fully 300 feet. The contention of the advo- cates of the biplane has been amply refuted. Latham earlier in the day with “Ne. 13,” another aeroplane of’the same type, made a flight of more than 70 kilometres and, after he had finished in the afternoon Lambert covered 116 kilometres (70.3) miles in commanding fashion. Three flights, therefore In a simgle day totaed more than 210 miles. Two Practice Spins by the American. Glenn H. Curtiss, the American, had two practice spins but though his ma- chine behaved splendidly its speed was disappointing. An accident which Bleriot suffered about dusk may im- prove Curtiss’ chances for the inter- national cup. ~Narrowly Missed Killing Spectators. While trying to alight in fron 1 the tribune with a passenger aboard his big eighty horsepower machine, Bleriot crashed intp a fence, the wings and_propeller being broken. He nar- rowly missed killing several of thé spectators. Whether or not the motor was injured has not been definitely detérmined. It so, Curtiss' most dan- gerous rival has been put at a dis- advantage as Bleriot intended to use the wrecked mhachine in the interna- tional event, although he qualified with another. % Dropped Among Crowd at Lunch. Rougier, also giving an exhibition, landed among the crowd lunching on the grass, and slightly injured two women and a man. Bleriot insists that his accident was not due to reckless- ness, with which he was charged by the crowd. He asserts that a squad- ron of dragoons was moving across the field and crowded him toward the fence, compelling him to choose be- tween lanading among the horses or in the bafrier. 450 MILE FLIGHT STARTED. Aairship Zeppelin 111 Left Friedrich- shafen This ¥lorning for Berlin. Friedrichshaféen, Aug. 27.—Zeppelin III started at 4.30 o'clock this morning for Berlin.
