THE FEAT ASTOUXDS THE ENGLISH. The liitreplel French Aviator Circles Above The Clint Of Dover Before Alighting On English Soil Wins 5,OIM Prize Te Hist Aviator To Cross The Channel Welcomed At Dover A The Pioneer Of Inter iiutlemtil Flight Machine Filet Like A Gigantic Hawk. Dover (special). Th'.s sleepy seaport town experienced the keen est thrill known In a generation when at sunrise Sunday morning a white-winged birdlike machine, with loudly humming motor, swept, out from the haze obscuring the- sea to ward tho distant French coast, and, circling twice above the high chalky cliffs of Dover, alighted on English soil. A calm Frenchman, Louis Bleriot, a portly and red motistached man of 37, descended from the sad dle, limping on a bandaged foot, which had been burned on his previ ous overland (light. Immediately two compatriots, who had been waving a big tricolor flag as a signal for the landing place, fell upon him enthusiastically, cm bracing him, shouting and pounding htm on the back. They, with a few soldiers and others who happened by chance to be on the scene, were the only persons to witness the fin ish of a most remarkable feat, which has caused astonishment throughout England. Bleriot left Les Baraqties. three miles from Calais, about 4.30 A. M., on one of the smallest monoplanes ever used. He crossed tho Channel in a little less than half an hour, twice as swiftly as the fastest mall boat. His speed averaged more than 4 5 miles an hour, sometimes it ap proximated 60 miles. He kept about 250 feet Bbove the sea level and for 10 minutes, while about mid-channel, was out of sight of both coasts and the French torpedo destroyer which followed him with his wife and friends aboard. A Twenty-Mile Wind. The wind was blowing about 20 miles an hour and the sea was chop py. The aviator was swathed in a single garment of drilling, impervi ous to the wind, which covered him from the top of his head to his feet, only his face showing. He wore also a cork life belt. An eye witness of the landing thus describes it: "Very early In the morning a wireless message was received from Calais that Bleriot intended to make the flight. Then In quick succes sion came the news that he had left land, that he was flying high and was fast making Dover. It was ex pected that he would land west of Dover, but from the direction taken it was soon evident that he would alight to the eastward. Only a few minutes after the wireless announc ing the start, the laconic message: 'Out of sight' was received at Dov er. Hardly had this been transcribed when the keen-eyed coast guard, scanning the sea with his telescope, shouted that Bleriot was within sight." ALLEGED EMBEZZLER SI H IDE. School Treasurer De-fonted In Elee--Hon Shoots Himself. Now York (Special). Theodore Greenwald, tho missing treasurer of a New Lebanon (Conn.) school dis trict, blew out his brains In the New York Central Station In the Bronx. He had been missing for a week. At the recent election for school district treasurer Greenwald was de feated, but he refused to allow the books to be audited before they were turned over to his successor. When they were seized he disappeared. Checking up showed that there was a considerable shortage, and a war rant, charging him with embezzling $2,500, was issued. MOWED DOWN BY THE Heavy Losses By the Spaniards in Morocco. People In Mneliiel Clamoring For The Nam- Of The Dead, Which The Govciiime'iit Withholds As It Did During Spanish-American War. General Staff Admits The Losses. .May Be Heavier Thnn Repented, (en. Marina In Command. Madrid (Special). The General Staff Saturday published Its report of the casualties In the fighting In front of Melilla. It Bhows that the Spaniards lost heavily, A colonel and Ave other officers were killed and a colonel and 12 other officers wounded. The report says 260 sol diers were wounded, but the number of soldiers killed is withheld, on the ground that the reports are incom plete. The people that surround the bulletin boards are clamoring for the names of the dead. A later note Issued hy the Gen eral Staff says that the Spanish losses may be heavier owing to the con fusion In getting the disembarked reinforcements to the front. Official dispatches received from Melilla say the Spaniards continue to hold the railroad line, and that the retirement of the Spanisli troops ypsterdny after noon was due to General Marina's de sire not to held the troops In the advanced positions during the night. The governmental press Insists that the government should take the offensive in the war now going on between Spaniards and Kayble tribes men on the Riff Coast and clear the entire region from Cape Tres as far as the Algerian frontier. In order to guarantee security In the future for Spanish subjects. The Imparclal says the govern ment, in order to calm the agitation of the people, should allow the mar ried reservists to remain in the gar risons at home. Hehdaye (Special).

WOMEX OX POLICE FORCE. Urged By President Of National Woman's Protective Association. Minneapolis, Minn. (Special). That Minneapolis needs 100 women policemen is the opinion of Dr. An na Howard Shaw,, president of the National Woman's Suffrage Associa tion, who addressed the students in tho chapel of the University of Min nesota. She gave It as her opinion that should the demands of suffragists be granted, it would not be too much to expect that women should do their share in the police and fire departments. "One hundred women specialists put on the police force of any city would make for Improved civic con ditions," said Dr. Shaw. "The crimi nal needs 'mothering.' "If women were on the police force their walchf ulness, care and attention to people who need their wholesome influence, backed up by authority, would prove a most use ful and uplifting measure."

Washington, D. C. (Special). The tide of Immigration Into the I'nited States is on the wane. A falling off of 23,369, or approxi mately 20 per cent, in the number of imlmgrant aliens admitted lnt0 all ports for the month of June, as com pared with May last, is shown by statistics just made public at the Bureau of Immigration of the De partment of Commerce and Iabor. The total number of Immigrant aliens admired for June was 85,470, as against 107,839 during May. A marked increase, however, is noted In the number of aliens debarred for the month of June, as compared with May, the figures being 1,046 againBt l.Olt'.i. An Interesting feature of the sta tistics is, that while by far the larg est immigration came from Southern Italy and Poland during the month of June, these two countries show the greatest falling off in the number of aliens admitted during June, com pared with May last. THE DIRT IS FLYING. Ce. Gocthuls Experts To Have The Canal Opened By 1913. Washington, D. C. (Special).

KING ALFONSO'S TROOPS WINY A Whole Battalion Refuses to Em bark for Morocco. A MILITARY CRISIS IN SPAIN. Itiolom Manifestation Against The Departure Of Troops A IH7.cn Persons Wounded In Encounter With Police At Malaga Some Of The Moorish Leaders Preaching A Holy War Gen. Wcyler, Of Culm Noteulety, May Command Spanish Forres In Morocco. Madrid (Special). Riotous dem onstrations against the departure of troops to Morocco are increasing and King Alfonso and the government au thorities realize that a serious mili tary crisis confronts them, The King has cancelled all bis engagements to give his entire attention to the slua tlon. Parliament will be asked to vote further credits so that more rein forcements can be sent to Melilla. It Is possible that General Weiier. form erly Snnniuh will be placed in supreme command of the Spanish forceB in Morocco. The liberal press is Joining in the popular protest against sending sol diers to the Riff Coast, alleging that tho war is solely for the purpose of protecting private mining interests. The newspapers demand the convoca tion of the Cortes and a frank state ment of the government's Intentions. A riot broke out at Barcelona among the troops who were about to be embarked for Melilla. An en tire batallion revolted and threaten ed the colonel and other officers with their bayonets. Other troops were hastily summoned and the mutineers were disarmed. During the night while troops, which are to reinforce the Spanish garrison at Melilla were preparing here to leave for Malaga, the families of the soldiers surrounded the rail road station and charged the police, with the object of preventing the de parture of tliclr relatives. A des perate melee followed in which the police used their swords and revol vers. At least a dozen persons were wounded and many others arrested. Stringent measures will be taken to suppress similar popular disturbances in connection with the departure of troops in the future. In the numerous engagements that have taken place in the last few days the Spaniards sometimes held their iiwn with difficulty and had to fight desperately to protect their ar tillery from the furious attacks of the Kabyles. There bas been a great deal of hand-to-hand fighting, and the Spaniards fca e lost several offi cers and many men killed, besides numbers wounded. The tribesmen have lost severely, but their fanatical courage Is unqnenched. The main cause of the hostility of the Moorish tribes is the construction of a Spanish ra 'way from Melilla to tome mines about 12 miles inland. Repeated attacks on the Spanish troops guarding the works have ne cessitated the sending of strong re inforcements, and the presence of these, far from overawing the Moors, seems to have stiffened their oppo sition. Advices from Algeclras say that' the natives of the Louk region are preaching a holy war and are pre paring to Join the Moors in front of Melilla. VICE (Tll'SADE IX CHICAGO. Over One Hiinelreel .

Cuba May Issue Bonds. Havana (Special).

Recently Mrs. Sutton lost a son and she has grieved over his death until. It la thought, ber mind was turned. Moelubj CJo Begging. Washington, D, C. (Special). A big box of medals la stored In tbe office of the Secretary of tbe Navy, largely because officers and enlisted men of tbe navy do not know that tbey axe entitled to re ceive them. Last March $2,600 was appropriated by Congress to pur chase medals for officers and enlisted men wbo participated In leading en gagements during tbe Spanish War. Apparently very few of those enti tled to these niedala are aware that they can get them. GALVESTON. TEXAS HIT CY HURRICANE Great Sea Wall Saves the City From Destruction. Barrier Built After Storm Of 1008 Withstands Pounding Of Moun tainous Waves Spray Leaps Across Sea Wall And Water In Streets Seven Feet Deep Barge Adrift Wrecks Bridge Connecting City And Mainland Pier And Fishermen Drop Into Sea. Galveston, Tex. (Special). Forti fied behind her 17-foot sea wall and elevated to a point above the danger line, Galveston passed safely through a hurricane that resembled the dis astrous' storm of 1900. Part of the lBland on which the city Is situated was again Inundated, the overflowing sea water reaching a height of seven feet or more. That portion of the island which bas been protected suf fered comparatively little harm. No lives were lost In GalveRton. but a late report says that 16 perish ed on the Tarpon fishing pier on the north Jetty, six miles from the city, across the bay. This was a new resort, two stories high and with 25 rooms furnished. It was erected early this season at a coat of $10,000. It is not exactly known how many were on the pier, but it Is estimated that there were between 12 and 14 guests besides Captain Bettison, the manager, and his wife and daughter. The structure was built to with stand a heavy gale, but collapsed and everyone was lost. The life saving crew, government boats and pilot boats made several attempts to reach the pier, which is out in the Gulf, but the sea was running too high. Sweeping westward the tropical storm, which had been central over the Gulf of Mexico for 24 hours, struck Galveston shortly after 11 o'clock. The wind attained a velo city of 68 miles an hour and shifted to the northeast, heaving tho wa ters of Galveston Bay up against the Island and flooding that quarter which had not been raised. The water backed up into the main streets of the city, but the principal damage was confined to the beach front, where bathhouses and pleas ure piers were swept away. Ship ping was undisturbed. A hurricane from East Texas was forecasted at the district weather bureau in New Orleans and warn ings were sent out. When wind and rain arrived, several hours later, they found Galveston prepared. Tbe inhabitants of the few scattered houses in the low part of the island had already sought safety, and the vessels that had cleared and pre pared to sail were riding at anchor in the bay. The fury of the storm soon abated, and the anxiety of those who enter tained fears of another tidal wave was soon relieved. Small boys pud dling around in the flooded streets, even before the heavy winds had died down, presented a scene which dispelled the alarm felt by the tim id. So short was the duration of the storm that the Mallory Line steamer, which was booked to sail for New York shortly after noon, left on schedule time. A heavy dredge, torn from its moorings, was blown against the single bridge that connects Galves ton Island with the mainland, breaking the telegraph cables that were carried by tho bridge. As a result all manner of rumors were soon rife throughout the country to the effect that Galveston had again suffered such a storm as that which partly destroyed the city nlio years ago. It was not until communication was established that these reports could be denied. HAIR TOXIC EXPI-ODEI). Mrs. J. J. Armour, Of Philadelphia, Dies Of Burns. Philadelphia (Special). Mrs. John J.

' "If the banks would not buy tbe proposed issue of 3 per cent. Panama Canal bonds, I believe that inves tors would take tbe whole Issue at better than par," remarked the presi dent of a big Philadelphia finan cial institution. Uncle 8am reports officially that the canal and river traffic of tbe United States Is rapidly falling, while or course that of the railroads Is rapidly Increasing. In 1880 the canals carried 16.000,000 tons, m 1906 they carried only 6,600.000 tons. It was announced that a very large part of Atchison's $29,000,000 of convertible bonds had been subscrib ed for by shareholders.

SECRETARY KNOX'S FIRM STAND. What It Means To This Country To Participate In The His; I,oan A Herlded Advance In The Policy Instituted By The Late Secretary Of State Hay Opens The Market For American Manufacturers And Secures A Prestige. Washington, D. C. (Special). American participation In the loan of $27,500,000, about to be negotiat ed by the Chinese government on the Hankow Sze Chuen Railroad and other enterprises will be arranged to the entire satisfaction of this gov ernment, thus assuring the main tenance of the "open door" in China. Assurances to this effect came to the State Department from Peking and gave great satisfaction to tho officials who have been patiently watching developments both In the financial centers of Europe and at Peking, and who have oeen Insisting to the Chinese government that the United States was fully entitled to share with foreign bankers in the allotment of the loan, American bankers are expected to be given a quarter part of the loan. To Secretary Knox, to whose firm stand in the matter success Is large ly due, the news was particularly agreeable. The issue has been re garded as an important question with the American government on account of the principles involved. It means much to the United States that American bankers should be allowed to participate In this loan as a prin cipal, and not In a subordinate ca pacity as would have been the case had the United States consented to take a portion of the loan from one of the Europeans financial groups. American Minister Conger was given the promise in 1904 that American and English money should be pre ferred in any future loans made by China to foreign countries on the Hankow Railroad. It has been in conformity with this promise that the United States has been so insistent in its demands that she be allowed to come in with the European financiers as an origi nal party to the loan. The question has been pending now for more than a month and Secretary Knox has stood firm for equal recognition. I Pressure has been brought to bear on China to withstand our demands, on tbe ground that to yield to the United States would be to open the door to other claimants for partici pation in the loan, and she was urged to give the privilege exclusive ly to the French, German and Eng lish bankers, in accordance with the agreement made in Peking on June 6 last. Undoubtedly this pressure will be continued, but it is believed that China will stand by her present de clared purpose. More or less American material undoubtedly will be used in the con struction of the railroad, and in all probability the building of a por tion of it will be under the super vision of American engineers. Origi nal American participation opens the market for American manufacturers, and the United States secures a po litical prestige which Is paramount. A satisfactory adjustment of the loan .means the application of the "open door" to China in its fullest aspect a decided advance In the policy Inaugurated by the late Secre tary of State Hay, and vigorously pushed by former Secretary Root and by Secretary Knox.
