HIGH SOCIETY IN A BALLOON Archduke, Archduchess, Princess and Others Go Up a Mile or More. (Copyright, 1901, by Press Publishing Co.) VIENNA, June 1.—(New York World Ca- blegram — Special Telegram.) — Archduke Leopold Salvator, who has long studied aecronautics and who went to Constance es- pecially to witness the ascent of Zeppelin's alr ship, made an ascent last Monday from the side of the Danube, ten miles from here, His balloon, the Meteor, was one which he recently bought fn Berlin, where he made several ascents in connection with the Ger- man army aeronautic school. In his Monday's ascent he was accompa- nfed by his wife, the Archduchess Biancha, daughter of Don Carlos; his 7-year-old daughter and the Princess Therese of Ba- varla, who is deeply interested in scientific studies and Is a member of the Munich Academy of Sclence. The day was fine, with a light westerly breeze. The party ascended at noon. The management of the balloon was entircly in the hands of the | archduke. He claims to have reached an | altitude of £,000 feet. The wind must have | remely light, as the balloon cov- ered only thirty-two miles in three hours and a half. The descent was made in a fleld at Saxelechen, nine miles from Korn- enburg, on the Danube. All were delighted with their experfence, the Princess Therese especially declaring that no experience in her life equaled it. The archduke is arranging for another as- cent next week, but it is believed that he will not take his little daughter along then, | as he was subjected to some rather severe criticism for exvosing her to the danger of last Monday's ascent. FEARS ANOTHER DISASTER British Pubi. LONDON, June 1.—The reticence of the | government regarding the battle of Vlak- | fonteln and other military events of some | importance which have recently occurred at widely separated points in South Africa has led to considerable anxiety. This Is in no way allayed by the curlous auswer of the War office today to & question as to the accuracy or otherwise of the recent Boer report that the British were severely de- feated near Pretoriu May 2, losing forty-six Killed, elghty wounded, 600 prisoners and six guns. The reply which the War office vouchsafed, “We huve no officlal informa- tion,” has aroused some misglyings. BRIGAND IN GOOD SOCIETY cour Vills for Him | Aeyn in Chtef Jithes, ress Publighing Co.)

That the first child of the hand- some but sicikly Victor Emanuel and the robust mountain Princess Helene of Monte- negro would be a boy was the universal hope. But after the first faint disappolnt- ment of the announcement the people were enthusiastic in their celebrating. Salutes were fired throughout Italy as fast as the wires carried the news.

WASHINGTON L—(Special Tele- | gram.)—A hard-and-fast division of Ne- braska has been arranged between Senatora Dietrich and Miliard so far as senatorial Before Senator yesterday to pass Sunday with his daughter, who is in_her sophomore year at the Bryn Mawr school, he authorized the statement that all matters affecting postofices, rural fr delivery routes, pensions and other mat- ters requiring no combined action he would lock after the interests fm the South Platte section of the state, while Senator Millard | would do Ilkewise in the North Platte sec- tion. Al matters in which the braska district is interested, rural free de- live routes, postoffices, pensions, ete., will be referred to Congressman Burkett and all matters affecting the Second district will 2o to Congressman Mercer. In the re- maining four districts of the state Senator Dietrich will have a direct interest, the Fourth and Fifth, while Senator Millard will look after the Third and Sixth. The senators greed to divide the state along these lines and they ask their con stituents to help them by not sending mat- ters to elther outside the division as above indicated, as it will only result in need- less delay. In the matter of federal appointments the two senators ha ag 1 mutually to join in recommendations, as well as in the mat- ter of Indian agents. And it might as well be understood that changes will be made in all the branches of the public service so tar as Nebraska is concerned as the terms of present officials draw to a close. Slgnificance of Hastings Case. The removal of Leopold Hahn from the Hastings postoffice in favor of the present mayor of that clty is taken by the repre- sentatives of the Postoffice department here to mean that Senator Dietrich proposes to make a clean sweep of that bramch of tho government service in the South Platte country and his recommendations will therefore be watched with Interest, it may be indlcative of the senlor senator's determination to succeed himself at tho end of his term. The War department evidently recognizes that a vacancy exists at West Point from the Fourth congressional district of braska since the dismissal of Henry Ilirst Ne H. Bowlby for insubordination from the acad- emy, for Congressman Stark, at the sug- gestion of the War department, has nom- inated Hugo D. Schultz of Beatrice as prin- cipal and Jesse T. Lancaster of York as alternate for the vacancy. Young Schultz has been ordered to report for examina- tion in June, so that would seem to dispose effectually of Bowlby's case; who 1s seem- ingly outside hope for reappointment It is understood that both Senators Diet- rich and Millard are being importuned for appolntments to West Point by likely young | tellows from Nebracka. fact neither senator will of appointment until 1904 before he retired nominated Nicholas Be: ley of Columbus, while Senator did 1ikewiso for Roderlck Dew of Tecumseh, both boys now belng actively at work As a matter of e the power Senator take place until 1904.

The appointment of Robert §, Person of South Dakota to the auditorship of the Interior department in place of Mr. Young- blood, resigned, is regarded as a great triumph for Senator Gamble and Con- gressman Burke of that state.

WASHINGTON, June 1.—Secretary Cor- telyou at 11 o'clock this forenoon gave out the tollowing bulletin: McKinley's physicians report that well during the night and that tlon s somewhat more favor- | able this morning. The bulletin regarding Mrs. McKinley's condition issued this morning is the most encouraging statement given out since her return. Three physiclans were in consulta- tion only a short time and at 11 o'clock, immedlately after their departure, Secre- tary Cortelyou gave out the bulletin. The president appeared to be encouraged over the slight improvement shown and this morning took a stroll through the White House grounds in company with General Gillespie, chief of engineers. There were many inquiries at the Whito House today regarding Mrs. McKinley's con- dition. The gloomy character of the bulle- tin issued yesterday has revived the alarm felt when she was so low in San Fran- cisco and many telegrams have been re- celved asking about the state of her health, Several of the women of the cabinet called this morning to make personal i{nquirfes. They wero slightly relleved to learn that she had had a comfortable night. | The general public is showing much con- no disposition to intrude upom him during | the trial and strain he is undergolng.

The president saw the | chiet justice and senators for a few minutes, but excused himself to the representatives. Dr. Rixey was at the White House at |10 o'clock tonight and remained for a short time with Mrs. McKinley. He sald after leaving the sick room that the pa- tlent was, It anything, somewhat improved |and that she had a comparatively restful {day. The situation did not call for con- | sultation with the other physiclans, and no bulletin was fssued.
