The compe !tltloa has not closed yet and the lit ierary lights of the national committee who are to shed the rays of their In telUgence upon the manuscripts are fearful that more tons of language are on the way. Francis Curtis, chief editorial ana lyst of the committee, sits In the midst of the stacked essays and contemplates them like fields of stacked hay that he has to pitch alone In a boiling sun. This is why Curtis Is wearing such a melancholy air these days. News of the wagon loads of litera ture on hand has not yet reached the judges who are to finally search it for prize qualities. When the news gets out vacancies on the board of Judges due to Illness and unavailable absence are expected to occur. To offset this anticipated defection the republican congressional campaign committee is thinking of offering a 53 or $3 prize in order to obtain literary gentlemen of great physical stamina with a record for endurance to act as judges of the competition.

Havana, July 27. Cuba's first step along the path which is expected to lead to the re-establiahmaaX next winter of the republic destroyed in the revolution of August, 1906, will be taken on Aug. 1. On that date will be held what has been called the "first real election the island has ever had." For months past Col. Crowder, the American head of the department of state and justice, and hJs assistants, Capt. Kreger and Lieut. Noreno, have been engaged incessantly in working out the general plan and an Infinitude of details so as to guard, as far as human intelligence can, against the possibility of fraud. On them has devolved the whole organization of the election from the verification of the lists of electors taken in the census of last year, the appointment and Instruction of the local boards of revision, the settlement of countless disputes growing out of the provisions of the new electoral law, the printing of the ballots and their distribution, down to arrangements for watching the polls and making the returns known at the earliest possible moment. Tho ballots are Of the Australian type, with the party emblemsand circles for marking the voter's tnark at the head of each column. Will Be Election Test. The present election is for municipal and provincial officials, but is especially important in that it will test the complex electoral machinery and put to proof the ability of the Cubans to hold a fair, square and absolute orderly election and abide loyally by the results. That this will be the case there is every reason to hope. While it Is inevitable that there should be partisan clashes here and there, at the polls, there does not appear to be the remotest reason to fear any serious disturbance and so far as order is compare well with any held in the United States.

PEOPLE WILL SAIL THROUGH AIR LIKE BIRDS Future of Aeroplane Assured Says Navigator. New York, July 27. That the future of the aeroplane as a safe means of conveyance is practically assured, was the confident declaration of Henry Farman, the aeroplanist inventor and navigator, who has arrived here on board the La Touraine from Europe for a series of flights at Brighton Beach In his new flying machine. Mr. Farman spoke freely of his plans and work, and , when asked what he contemplated attempting next said: "To do new things. We are all the time moving like birds. You can not explain these minute details, for they are of such an infinite variety. We are always changing more or less. Every day brings something new and I 6hall try something new right along."
