Another Aeeldent to Ilii Airship Tliurxda Maneuvers. I'AItIS, Oct. 11. M. Santos-Dumont, the Drazillan aeronaut, made another attempt to-day to win the Deutsch prize, but, owing to an accident to the rudder of his llyin.tr niachino, h. was oblised to return to the startint; piace after goiiif; lifty yards. Yesterday M. Santos-Dumont Rave an exhibition that was regarded as remarkable. When the signal to start was given he shot ofi liko an arrow, and. in spite of a contrary wind, reached Long" Champ at a speed impossible to estimate on the actual btato of aeronautic science, but certainly as fast as a rapid automobile travels. T1i-j t peed cannot be estimated at less than sixty kilometers an hour. For more than fin hour the balloon maneuvered in nil directions abov the race course with perfect docility in the presence of numerous hpectators. An enormous crowd had assembled outside the inciosure waiting for tho aeronaut to venture out. The bailoon reached the. rendezvous in the twinkling of an eye, while the friends cf the aeronaut followed It with all speed. When tea was over M. Santos-Dumont returned in his atrial carnage to Long Champ, and, crossing the Seine at a height of about 'Jß meters, slightly overshot the Fare du Aerostation. With a sudden turn he came back to his goal, and, pasting with considerable speed over the telegraph wire which runs along the western side of the park, stopped In a few minutes between the two sheds. The difficulty of doing this Is extreme. It requires astonishing skill to descend In so narrow a space. At one instant it was feared that he was lost, for he passed within two meters of M. Deutsch'a balloon-house, which blocks the entrance to the house on the south Fide, but he escaped danger by a bold maneuver that Drought him exactly in front of his own construction, which he entered without waiting for the arrival of the workmen, who were coming ß in an automobile carriage at express speed.

Incident by incid nt. the wild and terrible story and tho tragedy of Ballngiga, on the Island of Saraar, comes out of the meager oihcial reports. Much detail is still lacking; but so grim and murderously dramatic are the circumstances that the story shapes itself more or less clearly In the mind. It is impossible not to be possessed and sadly moved by it. We see a little coast Philippine village, eastward-looking, its low huts and palm trees commanded by a church and convent, joined together. The church has its dome and bell tower; in this tower hangs a chime of bells, op-:n to the weather. The town is occupied by a company of American regular intantry, and the big fellows in blue snirts and slouch hats are quartered in buildings or sheds at the rear of the convent. No hostile band is known to be in the neighborhood. The sun has risen, and the mess call has sounded on the bugles. All the village knows that the soldiers and officers are at their somewhat boisterous breakfast. The soldiers' arms are stacked within the inciosure made by the ejuarters. The whole town wears an aspect of perfect peace. The presidente. or major, has hcen a very friendly visitor or the American captain, young Connell, and his people have been protuse in their ex-pre-ssions of loyalty. As the ollieers and men begin to breakfast, the people, dressed in their white, loose tunics and trousers, begin to arrive lor morning service in the church. Evidently some special service is taking place. Religious least days are rather more common than work days in the Philippines. The bills of the convent begin to ring clamorously and the people not a man of them apparently armed liock into the church in large numbers. The smiling presidente. the good fiicnd of the Americans, is prominent jimong them. They advance with genufiexious along t lie open lloor, for there are no such things as seats in Philippine churches. Doors give from the back of the church and convent to the space occupied by tho troops. All at once, to the surprise of the unsuspecting otheers and men, the bland worshipers bein swarmiiiK out of the church and convent Into this space. Out from under their tunics they whip their bolos tierce sword-knives which they know very well how to handle. Before a command can be uttered a hundred of these natives rush in between the breakfasting soldiers and their guns. A hundred others swarm out of the convent. At the same time a smaller body has fallen upon the three officers captain and Lis two lieutenantswhom they cut down Instantly. Tho soldiers, dropping their cups and mess kits, are rushing for their guns and fighting madly with their hands and with such revolvers and knives as they have to regain the rifles. Meantime another force of natives, armed also with bolos, has poured in upon them from the rear. The bells havo been a signal for a general attack from all directions. Bettron, the old sergeant, has assumed command. The onslaught has been so sudden and so fierce that the majority of the soldiers have been already cut down. Bettron and twenty-five of his men regain as many rilies, and lor a time they beat back both bodies of the assailants. But it is a losing fight. The surviving Americans are assailed by a mass of savages climbing over the bodies of their comrades. In the little interval in which they are with the puns the sohiiers devote themselves, in addition to their desperate fighting, to drawing out the bolts of tho Krag-Jorgensens, thus rendering them useless. By and by, dragging with them such wounded men as they can move, they make their way, still lighting, to the shore, whence only thirteen sound men, having with them thirteen wnundd, escaped. This Is. in broad lines, the picture. It is a picture of Oriental savagery, of a bland and smiling murderous assault coming under the guise of solemn religious worship. In the genuineness of which under any circumstances it is the Instinct of an American to believe. Its central Incident strongly suggests that of one of De Quincey's romances of the thirty years' war, in which Foldiers, with concealed arm?, were masked under the guise of worshipers and sprang up at a signal. The tisjht at ISalnnglRa was a deed of savage treachery easily without a parallel in modern times. Accused of Killing u (Irl. ROCHESTER. Minn.. Oct. 11. The grand Jury of Podge county has indicted Charlta C. Hartley, of Dodge Center, for murder in the first degree. Hartley has been proprietor of the Doüe Center Transfer House, which was destroyed by fire one night Inst June.

It is the theory of the State that Hartlev killed the girl and then set fire to the hotel. Robbery is alleged to have been his motive. Explosion In a Mine. FAIRMOUNT, W. Va., Oct. 11. Early today there was an explosion of gas in tho Fairnxount Coal Company's New England mines near here. The gas Ignited from a shot fired by one of the miners, and the loose coal at once taking fire a big blaze resulted, which tilled the mine with smoke at a point where it prevented the exit of the miners for four hours.

AT THE PAN -AMERICAN

ALL THE EXHIBITS AUK NOW AT THEIR VERY II EST. Till Month One of the Ilext for SluhtSecrft Mnny Convention AVIll Bring; Crowd to Buffalo. BUFFALO, Oct. ll.-mong the visitors to the Pan-American Exposition in these October days are many who saw the Rainbow City earlier in the season, and who liked it so much that they return for one more visit before the gates close next month. There is much that is new to such visitors, for many exhibits have been sent in since the early period of the exposition. This is especially true of the South American countries, many of which were belated in getting their exhibits here. Visitors to the exposition in May and June did not see the Cuban exhibit, which is one of the most Interesting, both on account of the excellence of the exhibit and on account of the interest pertaining to Cuba as the newest of the American Re publics, and because of its close connection with the United States. The Chile exhibit is another which was not arranged during the first six weeks of the exposition, and it is an exhibit none should miss seeing, both on account of the displays of industrial enterprises in Chile and tlie art collection which the exhibit includes. Brazil was one of the last of the LatinAmerican countries to Install its exhibit, and with the arrival of this exhibit, almost every one of the important Latin-American countries has some representation in the exposition. Rrazil's exhibit was not to be seen until the latter part of August, and the mines building, where it would have been placed, was filled at that time. It was. therefore, placed in the conservatory leading from that building to the horticulture building. The e-ollection of minerals, photographs illustrating mining in Rrazil and similar exhibits form quite a large display, and are well worth seeing. BROUGHT FROM JAMAICA. Another exhibit Installed not long ago Is that from the Island of Jamaica, which is to be seen In the north conservatory adJoining the horticulture building. Although not a large exhibit, it shows a surprising degree of progress in industrial matters in this colony of Great Britain. Specimens of coffee from crops that are now being consumed in Russia are shown. This is one of Jamaica's principal crops. Englishmen control the plantations there chiefly. An opportunity for Americans to find a profitable Investment is here eiven. The sugar crop of Jamaica Is also a very important crop. It has a large variety of fruit, and the tobacco industry is a leading one. All these Industries are represented in the exhibits at the exposition. The exhibits in some of the buildlnps have been changed also since the early part of the exposition, so as to give variety or for some other obvious reason. For Instance, in the horticulture building one may now see magnificent displays of grapes. th!3 being: the srrape feason, also fresh apples instead of cold storage apple, which were shown during the early part of the season. There are beautiful exhibits of dahlias, ladielas. and po forth, which furnish quite an ornamentation to this building. Every week since the exposition opened has witnessed the holding of various conventions of some kind or other. A larpe number of organizations have selected October as the month for holding their meetings at the Pan-American city. Four events of this character for the coming week are the conventions of the Medal of Honor Legion, the Federation of Women's Clubs, the National Grange day and the International Sunshine Society. Another great event of this week is the horse show. There are CM representatives of the finest blooded stock, and nineteen conspicuous classes are represented. All the breeds of the United States and Canada are seen here, and there are special importations of Releians. Percherons, French coaches and hackneys. FOREST EXTENSION. AA'Iint Has Deen Accomplished In Parts of the Middle West. William L. Hall, in Government Forestry Bulletin. The area for profitable tree planting ten years ago was thought to bo limited to the great plains. It extends now to sections in the entire Middle West. Since the profits of timber growing have become manifest, people have becom imbued with the treeplanting spirit. There will bo more trees planted in the spring of l'JOl than have ever been planted before in a single year, but the number to be planted will fall short of the number required. If tQO.OuO acres of timber should be planted annually, well distributed throughout the Middle West, the production would yet be Inadequate to mftet the requirements of the country, and the planters could still hope for liberal profits. Ultimately this figure will no doubt be reached. Tho area of planted timber in the Middle West aggregates many hundred thousand acres. Some of this timber is on the decline, some at its best, and some growing into greater value each year. To the last class belong most of the plantations made for profit. Notable among these are the large Catalpa plantations of central and eastern Kansas. Nearly all of these plantations were established and maintained at first by careful and buslnebs-like methods in the hands of skillful men. Such methods were continued three or four years, and the young lorest well established, the owners thought the battle won and remitted their attentions. Tho time came for thinning, but it was not done. The trees struggled with one another, and some of the most vigorous managed to thin for themselves by killing their neighbors, but at a great expense to their own growth and vitality. This is true ot several of the well-known plantations. They need Judicious thinning under the immediate direction of one who fully understands forest operations. Their management from this time on may make a difference of thousands of dollars in their returns. It would be an act of wisdom on the part of the owners to seek the advice of practical foresters in the future management of these plantations. A large number of plantations have been established within the last three years. From these excellent returns may be expected, for in almost every case they are in the hands of men who appreciate their Importance and know how to manage them properly for the object in view. Within the last year nearly one hundred plantations have been established in cooperation with the Division of Forestry under its plan of practical assistance to tree planters. In each case an expert of the division has made an examination of the land, and, after consulting the owner on the objects to be attained, has prepared a plan for the establishment and management of the plantation. Profit has not been the sole object In all cases, but it is a leading feature in nearly all. The division will direct the management of these plantations from year to year, and it is believed to be possible in this way to make them fully successful and profitable to their owner?. Most of them are small, ranging from live to fifty acres, but many will be extended over larger areas in the future. It may be expected that the plantations to be first established will be small. On Individual farms such tracts will be planted to timber as can be spared from annual crops, usually from five to twenty acres. Sometimes men of large farms and ample means will afforest 100 acres or more. Larger operations than can be handled with ease and thoroughness should not be. attempted. The main object of such plantations should be the production of materials required on the farm and in the Immediate locality. While operations will be carried on generally in small plantations the time has come when men of means can get large returns from the development of plantations on extended areas. There are reasons for believing that the work can be carried on more successfully by companies than by individuals. The long-time nature of the investment adapts it more espeially to company control. The life of a company is permanent, while the life of an individual may cease at any time and throw the investment into hands that fall to carry It out. Companies are al!o likely to operate on a larger scale than individuals, and large operations will give better returns than small ones. All plantations of this class should be extensive enough to warrant the permanent employment of a resident forester of skill and ability, and t n.uid tarried In sections most suitable to thH work. To lind fuch sections is the lirst fctiu. to fail ia which i tu full ulterlv.

TaimuTdiy Hall Is only its nickname, bestowtd because, fcintö its foundation, it has met in the hall owned by the Columbian or Tammany Society. This society, over i-ne hundred yean old. is a social anil patriotic organization, from which th political urbanization vsas an offshoot. There are many men un the rolls of tne Tamany Society who uo not belong to Tammany Hall and vice versa. Since time out ef mind, however, the political organization has controlled the urganization of the patriotic society. The political Tammany Hall has on its rolls over '.".'"l members. It is governed by what is known as the Democratic-He-publican general committee of the county ef New York. Thi? general committee la made up of 2.STI members. Kach Assembly ellstrict is entitled to one nit jnb. r of this committee for every twenty-live Democratic votes cast at the preceding gubernatorial election. It is to chouse these members. amonK other tilings, that the primaries a.r held. When tho Democrats who are entitled to vote at the primaries present t hems 1 vthey lind prepared a regular ticket on which appear the names of the proposed general committee members. This list haa Inen prepared In each Assembly district, nominally by the1 nominating committee of tho regular district organization, but In reality these lists are carefully prepared ty the leaders themsrlve!. If there is no eppDsItion the primary election Is purely perfunctory. Kvcrything goes through In a cut-and-drled fashion.

A dispatch from Cleveland to the effect that some organization devoted to the interest of Senator Uanna is planning to hava Ohio's senior senator -le ttM president pr tempore of the 1'nitcd States Senate ha been read in Washington with much interest, for it is claimed from this Incident that Senator Hanna'? friends do not by any means agree with those who believe that with the death of President McKinley Senator Hanna's iover came to an end. it Is worthy of all prale that Senator Hanna'n friends In Cleveland remained loyal to him, but It 1 unfortunate that they fhould choose this method of raising tho issue of Senator JIanna's continuance of power. It Is an absolute certainty that Senator Frye, of Maine, will be re-elected president pro tempore of the Senate as fooii 01 that body meets. He was chosen to that otttco when the death of Vice President Hobart made a choice etf a temporary president necessary, and his courtesy and falrneus, together with his parliamentary skill, won for him tho regard and affection of senators regardless of party atnllatlons. Mr. Frye's prompt re-election, therefore, is a foregone conclusion, and Senator Hanna' friends are unwise In any action that woul-l for a moment place Mr. Hanna in an attitude of opposition to the senator from Mafi-e. Mr. Hanna will be a welcome visitor to the AVhite House, and hi advice, when asked, will be Riven great consideration; but Mr. Roosevelt, as well a th United States Senate, will In the futur regard Mr. Hanna with the grateful affection that is due to good men who have rendered valuable services In the past.
