From the great number of applications for patents which have been received at the Patent Office in Washington for flying machines and dirigible bal loons of many sorts and shapes, it would seem that thousands and thousands of people in the United States are racking their brains to solve the problem of flying. Every day there are reports in the newspapers from some part of the country or other of more or less successful attempts to fly. Nor is there any lack of inventors who think they have hit upon the one and only practical solution of the difficulty. As a matter of fact, the interest shown in America in aerial navigation is very great, and the military authorities are beginning, after a long period of apathy, to pay serious attention to the subject. So much success has been attained,in one way or another in essaying “the conquest of the airy that an announcement has been made in all seriousness that aerial navigation will be taken up in the near future on a commercial basis. In Boston, for instance, the American Aerial Naviga tion Company has just been formed, and has issued a notice that within eighteen months a regular ser vice of airships for freight and passengers will be established between Boston and New York. More over, according to reports from Boston, the Com pany will build more airships and eventually carry on aerial services in various districts of the" United States,-Canada,-and-Mexico. The first experiments will be made with small airships to carry only two passengers besides the official in charge. The sta tions will be erected near the railroad lines on the town boundaries, and here gas-works will be estab lished for the supply of the balloons. Pending the opening ^of regular airship lines on a large scale, air traffic will be inaugurated and carried on be tween North Adams and Pittsfield in 'the State of Massachusetts, in order to familiarize the public with the new means of communication. At a Peace Congress recently held in North c ^°. lina . a new P eace agency was formed with the official title of “Peace and Arbitration League,” which differs ^ essentially from already existing peace so cieties in respect of its “practical peace programme.” The League aims at introducing an effective means of settling disputes by arbitration, but at the same i time advocates the maintenance of adequate national I ai maments. On this practical peace programme ' President Roosevelt, who only a short time ago developed his own views with regard to the strength of the United States fleet to a council of Admirals assembled at Newport, has expressed himself in a remarkable manner. The new League elected him its first Honorary President, and, in a letter ad dressed to the President of the League accepting the election, President Roosevelt in a measure re veals the character of his own peace policy, in asmuch as he declares his entire approval of the Teague’s programme. President Roosevelt writes : “I have received your tetter informing me of my election as the first Honorary President of the Peace League. I gladly accept the election, as I think that the whole American people should assent to what you term your practical peace programme—should assent, Jhat is to say, to the doctrine that we are bound to provide necessary armaments in order to defend ourselves against any attack, but that we should at the same time endeavour to have all kinds of disputes that may arise between us and foreign powers settled by the award of an Arbitration Court, that is possible. In other words, I agree with your views, to provide for the defence of the country and at the same time to make the most capxd progress possible in securing the lasting peace or the world. As you very rightly remark, we must naoubtedly have a predominating force in our own Possessions and the adjoining waters of the Atlantic Pacific oceans; and we should do all we can 0 conclude agreements with other nations for lutually guaranteeing each other’s territories and vereignty, and for referring all other questions 10 arbitration.” Thus President Roosevelt shows himself, in the oniain of national endeavours for peace as in other things, to be the purely practical statesman who begins with the actually attainable, while at the same time an ardent champion of the Roman principle Si vis pacem, para bellum. But some of the members of this practical Peace and Arbi tration League have high aims which they hope to be able to realize in the near future. They look, for instance, for a permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague with a supreme authority to keep the peace. For that post, they declare, only the King of England, the German Emperor, President Roosevelt, or Mr. Carnegie could come in question. GENERAL NEWS. NEWS FROM ENGLAND. THE NEW MILITARY AIRSHIP. (From our London correspondent.) London, August 6. The renovated “Nulli Secundus” of which great expectations are entertained continues to repose in deepest secrecy in her shed on Farnborough Com- * n< l u * s i t * ve spectators are warned off, but this did not prevent the assembly of a large crowd m the vicinity every day this week. They were drawn thither by the report that an ascent might be made any day of the week, but so far they have been disappointed. Hundreds of tents have been erected near the shed, these forming the camp of the Public Schools Volunteers. As the War Office is desirous of maintaining strict secrecy on the oc casion of the next ascent it is probable that this will not be made until the tents have been removed. The airship, moreover, is not yet ready for another trial as it now transpires that the damage sus tained during the last ascent was far more serious that was at first realised. Parts of the machinery were badly damaged, besides which several rods of the framework were bent. These repairs will take a few days to complete. It is expected, however, that an ascent will be made tomorrow or on Satur day. The news of the destruction of Count Zeppelin’s airship at Echterdingen has produced expressions of sincere sympathy in the Press here. Attention is drawn to the circumstance that the three great Powers foremost in aerial research have suffered grave disappointment within the space of twelve months. On October 10th of last year the original Nulli Secundus,” the first British airship, was wrecked while at anchor in the Crystal Palace grounds after a remarkably successful cruise from Aldershot. Shortly afterwards, the “Patrie” the famous French airship, met a similar fate/ The balloon was torn free by the wind and carried off in the direction of Ireland. She has never been heard of since. GERMAN VICTORY AT COWES REGATTA. (From our London correspondent.) . London, August 6. ihe principal event in Wednesday’s programme at the Cowes Regatta was the race for the German Emperor’s Cup, the course for which was from Cowes round the Bullock Patch and Lymington Buoys, a distance of 47 miles. The entries were: ~ _ Rig- „ Owner. Time allowance Germania . Schooner Herr Krupp Scratch Cicely.... Schooner Mr. Cecil Whitaker 14m. 6s Carina . . ; Cutter Mr. Pearce 30m. 33s Creole . . . Cutter Col. Bagot 43m. 5s. “Creole” secured a capital lead at the start, while Cic©ly and << C^0mlania ,, followed across neck and neck. “Carina” was last to enter the course. The wind was increasing in strength, but the yachts carried full sails. When the yachts returned from Lymington “Germania” was leading “Cicely” by 5min. and “Carina” by 27min. “Creole” had then given up. The German schooner maintained her lead and finished first, beating. “Cicely” by about a minute. AMERICAN VIEW OF OLD AGE PENSIONS. New York, August 6. Great difference of opinion is expressed in the American Press regarding the passage of the Old- Age Pensions Bill. Some writers describe the measure as inevitable, and the precursor of still more important Acts framed to help men whose wages are insufficient to enable them to make pro- vision for old age; while others attack the measure in aD = ‘The world now has the spectacle of the most ouf f W V r °J Civilised ” ations out a Socialistic measure in its most irresponsible^ unstable, and theoretical form, a measure which implies the tacit admission that the daily wao- e is insufficient to provide for individual life beyond the years of usefulness.” ' uu Other comments are in the same strain. This bill is considered a very serious matter indeed by bXrwhicHff 61,8 / b6CaUSe thGy enter *ain the K -ui f freely expressed, that England will probably be unable to find the money necesslrv toiff thfo e h tt” Si0nS W !‘!r t im P° si ”« “ import tariff, which it is expected would affect the United States more vitally than any other country.
