In diacumeing this phase of the sit-

took occasion to explain that his idea
is not to reduce duties to the point of

important to what, frm the republican
standpoint, would be unfair competi-

president is represented as regarding I
downward revision as a means of pro-

excessively high prices. s‛
Even with hides on the free list, the
president has not admitted in any of

■Washington, July 25.—On the eve of
making an aeroplane flight involving
greater dangers than Berfot risked in
crossing the English channel early to-
day, Qrville Wright expressed great
pleasure when he learned of the suc-
cess of the Frenchman.
•1 have said all along that Bleriot
would be the first to make the flight
acrosg the channel once he decided to
attempt it,” said Mr. Wright, It was a
great flight, he added.
That it was a persona! triumph for
Bleriot, however, rather than any indi-
cation of advancement in tho art of
flying, was Wright’s idea of the sig-
nificance of the accomplishment.
He spoke admiringly of Bleriot, say-
ing that he was on of the most daring
aviators. Mr. Wright is famillar with
the Bleriot monoplane, which he said
is of the Antlonette type used by Hu-
bert Latham, hut antedats the latters
form of construction.
"I believe Bleriot has added mova-
blo wing tips tn his machine since I
saw it," said Mr. Wright. "His type
pf.monoplane is based on the principles
of the old type of models used by Pe-
naud. The monoplane, however, has
not as good a method of control as the
plane which we use.”
Phe Wrights are loathe to discuss
the comparative merits of the work
of the aeroplanes of others. They, take
great pride in their own machine and
believe that it surpasses all others. In
speaking of Blerfot‛9 flight and while
praising the work of that aviator, Or-
ville Wright said today:

San Antonio, July 25.—The $50,000
bonus required of Ran Antonio in con-
nection with the building of the new
road to Ferdericksburg has been raised
and the contract with J. P. Nelson win
be sgned next week. There is yet $50,-
000 to be raised for the purchase of
bonds, but it is thought that this will
meet with little difficulty. The first
work to be undertaken will be the
borng of the tunnel north of Waring.
This will cost $110,000 and wUl be

It is thought that the Frisco will as-

Dover. July 25.—Thia sleepy seaport
town experienced the keerest thrill
known in a generation when at sun-
rise this morning a white-winged,
bird-like machine with humming mo-
tors swept out over the bea from the
distant Fiench coast, and, circling
twice above the chlk cliffs of Dover,
alighted on English soll. A calm
Frenchman, Louis Bleriot, a portly and
red-moustached man of 37, descended
from the saddle, limping on a ban-
daged foot which had been burned on
his previous overland flight. Imme-
diately two compatriots who had been
waving a big tri-colored Gag as a sig-
nal for the landing place, fell upon him,
enthusiastically embracing him, shout-
ing and pounding him on the back.
They, with a few 9oldiere and others
who happened by chance to be on the
scene, were the only persons to wit-
ness the finish of a most remarkable
feat.
Bleriot left Les Basiques, three miles
from Calais, about 4:36 a. m. on one
of the smallest monoplanes ever used.
He croesed the channel iA a little less
than half an hour, twice as swiftly as
the fastest mail boat. His speed av-
eraged more than forty-five miles an
hour, sometimes approximating sixty
miles. He kept about 250 feet above
the sea level and for ten minutes, while
about mid-channel, was out of sight
of both coaste and the French torpedo
boat in the, vicinity, whch was fol-
lowing him with hundreds on board.
The machine was sailing about twenty
miles an hour. The aviator was
swathed in a single garment of drill-
ing. impervious to wind, which cov-
ered him from the top of his head
to his feet, only his face showing. ' He
wore also a life belt. An eye witness
of the landing thue describes it:
"Very early in the morning a wire-
less message was received from Calais
that Bleriot intended to make the
flight. Then in quick succession came
the news that he had left land, that
he was flying high and was fast mak-
ing Dover. It was expected that he
would land west of Dover, but from
the direction taken it was soon evi-
dent that he would alight to the eaet-
ward. Only a few minutes after the
wireless annodneing the start, the la-
conic message, ’out of sight’ was re-
ceived at Dover. Hardly had this been
transcribed when the keen-eyed coast
guard, scanning the sea with his tele-
scope, shouted that Bleriot was within
eight. A
"Hastening to the cliff east of the
bay. I was fortunate enough to arrive
just a moment before the airship,
which was flying fast like a gigantic
hawk. The craft approached the cliff,
growing larger every instant. The
noise of the engine was audible in a
moment, so swiftly did it come. Ble-
riot swooped overhead, glancing from
right to left, and then turned his ma-
chine to the east and came to the
ground in the meadow. It circled with
consummate ease and made the land-
ing gracefully, but even though it
touched the land lightly, it was slight-
ly damaged.”
By his achievement today, Bleriot
1 won the prize of 15000 offered by the
i London Dally Mall for the first fMght
1 across the English channel and stole
। a march on his rivals. Herbert Latham
land Count de Lambert, both of whop
had, hoped to make the attempt tode.
[ Bleriot, who speaks a little Enlish.
described his remarkable flight very
modestly.
"I arose at 3 o’clock,” he said, "and
went to the aeroplane shed. Finding
everything in order for the trial epin.
I decided to make the flight. The
French torpedo boat was signaled and
it put out about four miles. Then I
rose in the air and pointed directly to
Dover. After ten minutes T was out
of sight of land and had left the war-
ship well behind. For a few minutea
T could not see either coast nor anv
boat. I kept at an average height of
250 feet. I might easily have gon©
higher, but it would have served no
purpose. This was about the right
height I thought to clear the Dover
cliff safely.
"The machine dipped toward the
water several times. T put on more
petroleum once. I estimate that the
propellers were going from 1200 to
1400 revolutfons a minute. The first
objects T saw were ships off the Eng-
lish coast, then I observed Deal and I
discovered that the wind, which was
southwest, was carrynp me thither. I
continued southward towarde Dover,
and then friends flagged me from here
terday. The contracting parties are
natives of Mexico, ©peak no English
and had to be married through the aid
tact with the ground sooner than I
expected. Both the machine and my-
self were badly shaken un.
"A few persons quickly assemble
and I was helped out, a my in hired
foot was painful. I am exceedingly
P Ead‛ to be here."
M. Bleriot’s friends took him gufckly
in an automobile to the old Iord War-
den hotel by the pier, from where the
boats depart. His wife arrived on the
torpedo boat. . She embraced him,
weeping, but they were sitting at
breakfast, the center of a proud gath-
ering of French people. The mayor
and other Dover officials called early
and welcomed M. Bierlot in the name
of the city and nation, as the pioneer
of international flight.
The townspeople of Dover, who for
three weeks had been on the alert for
the signal announcing that one of the
flying men had started, were caught
napping. A gale was blowing last
night, and the weather forecast- prom-
ped a strong wind and squalls in the
morning. Hence the operators of the
sirens on the steamers which were to
announce the approach were absent.
Captain Lafontaine, a friend of the
aviator, arrived at the Lord Warden
hotel from Clals at midnight. He de-
clined a bed room with the remark
hat he had an appointment with M.
BleHot at 5 o’clock. The hotel people
thought the mysterious stranger was
Joking.,
M. Lafontatne came to the signal
landing, the epot which the newspaper
under whose auspices the flight was
made, had chosen on the high groirnd
back of the clff. but he selected a cup-
shaped hollow, two mihs east of Dover,
where the airship woul be sheltered
from the wind in settling. There he
placed the French flag.

Fall meadow. Photographers and cin-
namotographers were crestfallen be-
cause they had missed the great event
for which they had waited so long.
Among the first to arrive were two
customs officers. Close upon their
heels were several police, and their
services were needed to restrain the
curio hunters, who immediatly began
to pull the machine to pieces for sou-
venirs.
The city officials conceived a happy
thought and with the consent of M.
Bierlot, raised a tent about the ma-
chine and charged six pence admission
to view it. The profits from this
source will go to the hospitals and the
police pension fund, and the exhibi-
tion did a big business all day. Many
persons were amazed at the size of
the machine.
Th© monoplane is no more than
twenty feet across the wings and its
weight is about 400 pounds, the motor
being twenty-five horsepower. In the
machine, M. Bleriot recently made a
cross-country trip of twenty-five miles
from Etmapes to Orleans.
The machine is equipped with air-
tight water bags'and would float if it
landed in the water.
The only difficulty experienced bv
Bleriot in his flight today was the force
of the wind, and the wind eddies which
twisted his machine about while near-
ing the English coast. >
Count De Lambert camo from Calais
todays by boat to congratulate his rival.
A telegram arrived from Hubert Lath-
am. who, a few days ago, failed in his
attempt to cross the channel, saying:
"I hope to follow you soon."
Bleriot announced that if Latham
crossed today he would share the prize
with him, but the heavy wind and rain
that came up dashed the hopes of
Latham attempting to follow.
The American consul at Calais, J.
B. Miller, who came here with Count
De Lamhrt, said on his arrival that
he had left I At ham sitting with his
head on his monoplane, weeping.
Bleriot returns to Calais on the do-
stroyer thi afternoon, but will cross
again tomorrow for the official recep-
tion to be tendered him at Dover by the
sentatrve Payne just before the closo of
an hour's session of the tariff confer-
ence are reported to have followed the
attempt of the latter to secure a Vote
on the motion to make hides dutialve
at 7 1-3 per rent, half of the existing
rate. The session was adjourned until
12:30 p. m. tomorrow.
From the variety of reports concern-
ing the incident, none of which can be
confirmed, it appears that the senate
leader, angered by a frequent statement
made by the house leader that the
country and the president were in sym-
pathy with the action of the house in
putting hides on the free list and
that ha did not propose to be governed
by what a majority of the onferees
thought about the question.
A formal vot for fixing 7,1-2 centa
as the fate to be fixed on hides was to
be made yeeterday. At that time Mr.
Payne is reported to have said he

Once an animal is Infected, there is
no known remedy, . but vaccination
seems effective in making them im-

Strict repressive measures were suc-
cessful in several parishes but in Cam-
eron cattle dead of the dsase were
allowed to lie unburled on the prairie
and in the marshes and swarms of flies
and mosquTtoee carried the germs to
other cattle. In this parish one-fourth
of tbs animals have died. Since the
govornment export has been in charge,
however, the nhetants hnve taken
heart and conMAklons are improving.
San Antonio, July 25.—The American
conductors and brakemen in Mexico
are reported to be greatly wrought up
over the second fatal wreck which oc-
curred in Mexico Saturday. It is
claimed that the accident was duo to
inefficient dispatchers. The accident
was at Las Palmas, on the Tampico
division, and Henry Volbrecht was
fatally injured. It was the first day
of the strike that an engineer was
killed at Aguascalientes. It Is claimed
here that, fearing their lives, that both
the conductors and engineer,** are seri-
ously considering joining in the strike.
Up until the last accident it looked as
if the dispatchers had lost out and that
they could hone for no assistance from
the other railway men in Mexico.
F
a deadly and loathsome disease which
affects cattle and which has killed
thousands of animals in Louisiana, has
attacked human beings.
At the county seat of Cameron
parishes, eight humans have been
stricken, although no deaths have re-
sulted.
Charbon has been afflicting cattle
for centuries, but hew seldom visited
this country. It was known to the an-
cients in Egypt and often scouraged
the Asiatic and Oriental countries. It
is caused by a germ which enters the
animals skin through an abrasion. It
multiplies and causes an Inflammation
which turns Into a tumorous or can-
cerous growth which terminates In
blood poisoning. The disease first made
its appearance about June 1 in two lo.
oaH ties in southwest Louisiana, along
the Mermentau river near Lake Arthur
and at Iola, near Lake Charles. It was
not detected in time and spread rapidly
