S L Obisp | GROSSING SEA IN A BALLOON Comte de la Vaulx En Route From France to Algeria. Carrier Pigeon Brings Word That All Goes Well With the Aeronaut. PARIS, Oct. 14—A dispatch from Tou- lon says a carrier pigeon arrived there at 5 o'clock last evening from the balloon of Comte de la Vaulx, bearing the report that the balloon was being driven by a northeast wind, going at a fair speed, the weather being very fine and all well. MARSEILLLES, Oct. 14—A steamer which has arrived here reports having sighted the balloon of Comte de la Vaulx yesterday (Sunday) about 12:30 p. m. The balloon was about fifty miles from Mar- | seilles and shaping its course for Algeria. ‘Ihe car was about sixty feet above ‘the sea. ‘The Comte de la Vaulx signaled that | a1l was_well. | PARIS, Oct. 14 ~Considerable interest | is manifested in the attempt of Comte de la Vaulx, the aeronaut, who left Les Sa- | blette: near Toulon, last night, on a bal- c i the Mediterranean, | with a view of testing the possibility of using baloons between IFrance, Corsica and Algeria in time of war. The success of the experiment has been frequently endangered of late by hitches in the arrangements. Comte de la Vaulx | has received semi-official support in the | way of subscriptions from the Ministers ' of Marine and War. The former had | romised a cruiser as a convoy and also | ent the inflating apparatus. A fortnight ! de Lassen decided that | s not propitious for the ex- | periment and withdrew the cruiser and | the apparatus, Comte de la Vaulx with difficulty re- placed the apparatus. Then a portion of | the balloon shed collapsed In a gale and | tore the balloon. This damage was re- paired. but a few days ago another acci- dent delayed his departure. Finally the aeronaut's lJuck changed. ! Weather and wind improved and at the | last moment M. de Lassen revoked his de- cision and ordered the French second | class cruiser Du Chayla to convoy the balloon, which is also convoved by a pri-| vate yacht. The aeronaut is accompanied by two other aeronauts and a naval lieutenant. | He expects to reach Algeria on Wednes- day night or Thursday morning. He took with him seventy-five carrier pigeons to be released in three batches daily. The balloon, which is decorated with the tri- color, carries accumulators for electric signal lamps and an electric pump to draw up sea water for ballast whenever necessary by tubes immersed in the sea. Comte de la Vaulx, by a system of floats, Intends to keep about 400 feet above the water.

The rate of discount outside the Bank of Eng- land last week did not go above 2 per cent. and settling day, thanks to generous Gov- ernment dividend disbusements, passed without a strain.

The recovery followed the upward turn in Wall street, which was the only bright spot on the horizon. There was but little of interest in the fluctuations of the week. Canadians were bought with some freedom. Mexican Na- tional improved slightly. The Speyer re- organization plans were responsible for this. The American section rose generally on the talk of a compromise of some sort which is believed to be imminent in con- nection with the Northwestern lines, thereby releasing large amounts of monéy heretofore tied up by the Northern Pacific di‘sp;‘ltle. . While the immediate conditions of th Stock Exchange are rather stagnant u‘ng negative, a look into the future shows but small cause for optimism. The Statist, in the course of a long article on the trade outlook, takes the Government severely to task for mismanagement and for not look- ing the South African situation squarely in the face. It predicts a further depre. clation in securities, owing to the decreas- ed earning capacity and the increased ex- pe'}_lgitxflres, o e fact that Russia is only factories going by Gnvernmén{“ceoprzgrgm‘:ltesr indicates, in the opinion of the Statist, a poor continental market for British prod- uts with increasingly keen competition, because continental manufacturers are forced to sell at most any prices they can get. On the other hand, the Government m apply for further funds, the Sta,?lt!t ggf lieves, to carry on the operations in Sout] Africa, while the mere fact that congr Britain has begun the third vear of a seemingly endless war adds to the gloom of an outlook already cheerless. BERLIN, Oct. 13—“After the brief re- | vival which marked the previous week." | begins the Frankfurter Zeitung's Bourde report, *‘there followed last week complete depressions and despondency, worse than had been thought possible.” The hopes which many had begun to cherish again proved deceptive.

DECISION FO R GOVERNM ENT IN PHILIPPINE TARIFF CASE Supreme Court Will Sustain Legality of Collection of Duties on Goods From the Special Dispatch to The Call. ALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, The Pepke case differs materially from N. W., WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.— From trustworthy information that has been obtained within the last forty-eight hours concerning the judgment of members of the United States Supreme Court, it appears to be safe to make the prediction that the Pepke or fourteen diamond ring case, in- volving the legality of the collection of duties on goods imported from the Phil- ippines into the United States after the ratification of the Paris treaty of peace and before the prssage of the Spooner act will be decided by the Supercme Court in favor of the Government. This is the famous case which the Supreme Court failed to decide when it disposed of » other insular cases last May. the De Lima case, which was decided against the Government in the spring. The De Lima case involved the validity of the collection of duties on goods im- ported into the United States from Porto Rico after the ratification of the treaty | of peace, but before the operation of the Foraker act, by which Congress estab lished a tariff system between that isl. and and the United States proper. The most important difference between the Pepke and De Lima cases is_found in the fact, as was pointed out by Justice Brown, who held the balance of power in court when the other insuiar cases were decided, that the United States did not have actual possession of the Philip- pines and the government there was be- ing conducted under the war power of Islands. ‘thu nation, while in the case of Porto Rico, the United States was in actual and full possession of the island. A further distinction pointed out by Solicitor General Richards to-night was that immediately after the ratification of the treaty of peace the Senate adopied a resolution declaring that “it is not in- tended to incorporate the inhabitants of the Rpilippine Islands into citizenship of | the Uhited States, nor is it intended to | permanently annex them as an integral part of the territory of the United vas stated on Saturday, the Su- preme Court will be prepared to hand | down its deciston in the Pepke case early | in November. Members of the tribunal have devoted much time during recess to | a study of the case. D o e ] CONGRESS IS EXPECTED TO ORDER MANY NEW SHIPS Steel Strike and a Disagreement Over Respective Merits of Turrets Cause Delay. WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.—it is probable that a liberal building policy with respect to naval ships will be urged upon Con- gress at the approaching session. No authorization for new construction was given by Congress at the last session owing in part to a disagreement as to the respective merits of single and super- posed turrets. Congress contented itself with a direction to the Navy Department 1o submit full plans for two battleships and two armored cruisers to it at the ap- proaching session, so that the body could itself choose between the designs. Sec- retary Long, however, does not regard himself as estopped by this direction from recommending the construction of additional warships, and as a full year has been lost in the execution of the naval building scheme laid down by the policy board, and as more time has been lost through the great delay in construc- tion of the ships already authorized and contracted for, owing to the steel striKe, a considerable increase must be recom- mended in order to avoid falling hope- lessly behind in the erection of the ideal American navy. i MARK TWAIN'S VOTE MAY BE CHALLENGED Tammany Men of the Bronx Insin- uate That the Humorist Is a Colonizer. NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—Mark Twain is worrfed over the threat of Bronx Tam- | many men that when he attempts to vote on election day he will be challenged as a colonizer. Clemens rented a house at Riverdale-on-the-Hudson, which is the home of W. W. Appleton, head of the pub- lishing firm. . He took possession on Octo- ber 2, which entitles him to register and vote. Said he: 1 tried to convert a Tammany policeman out at my gate the other day. I used all the eio- quence of cart-tail paign oratory on him to show him how foolish he was. 1 tried to prove to his satisfaction that there was no rec- ord of any Tammany man ever getting to heaven. He did not sesm to get enthusiastic. He was a very judicious policeman—one of those fellows who never let you know what they are thinking about. T'll bet a_squirrel’s nest that if he is watched at the polls on election day he'll be found voting for Low. If I were a policeman I would do just what this Tammany cop did when I tried to get him over to my way of thinking | and then vote according to my consclence, but | never expose that conscience to public view. I must admit, though, that for the last/few days I have felt a cold chill run down my spinal cord whenever I think that I will only be a little more than thirty days in this dis- trict when election day comes, which subjects ' ]ENGLISH RAILROAD MEN | TO STUDY OUR METHODS | Will Particularly Investigate the | Handling of Freight and the | System of Sigmals. NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—The White Star liner Celtic, which arrived to-day,brought a party of English railroad men who come here to spend a month studying American railroad methods and inspect- ing systems. They are George S. Gibb, general manager of tne Northeastern Railroad: Norman D. MacDonald, T. M. Newell and E. Worsdell, directors of the line. Speaking of their plan Gibb said: “We intend to inspect American rail- roads and will go as far west as Chicago. | We will study the handling.of freight and the system of signals. Of course, until we have been about and seen things I can- not state whether we will adopt any of the features of the American systems. @il @ me to suspicion in the eyes of my fellow coun- | trymen that I am a colonizer just coming in here to register and vote.
