FLIES FROM BATTLESHIP Drawing Aviator in Curtiss Biplane Flew Across Lower End ot Chesapeake Bay. RAIN AND HAIL GAME NEAR CAUSING A POSTPONEMENT One Propeller Blade Split When Ma chine Struck the Water Kly Won IVi.e of $."imo. Foil Monroe, Va., Nov. 15. Aerial navigation proved yesterday that It is a factor which must be dealt with In the naval tactics of the world's fu ture, it tlie successful flight made by Eugene II. Ely in a Curtiss biplane from the deck of the cruiser Birming ham can lie taken as a criterion. From Hampton Roads, the scene 15 years igo of another epoch in tlie hiatorv of naval warfare when an ironclad proved iis superiority over the former type of lighting vessels, tile aviator yesterday Hew across the lower end f Chtsipeake bay. lamlini: on the opposite side from this fort. In weather conditions unfavorable for Hying the daring birdman, after a o'clock yesterday afternoon, glided from the platform erected on the front of the big. black cruiser, swoon ed down like an immense bird of prey until be touched the water, thin rose rapidly into the misty air ol the lower bav and was off in the direc tion of the broad Atlantic. Five min utes after having taken his sudden .farewell of the Birmingham he was a lost speck on the eastern horizon and had landed safely on Wllloughby Spit. The impact with which the big machine struck the water alter its 31 i't,,- Iron from the front of the cruis er caused one of the propeller blades to be .lagged as tnougn a coarse saw had gone along its edge and a small niece was snllt from the blade, lint not for an instant wss the speed of the aeroplane lessened, and It darted nwny with express train rapidity on its victorious tilght. Itnil W oatber Conditions. Intermittent rain throughout the day. several small hall showers, and continuous fog almost compelled the aviator to postpone his night, nut ne was determined to prove, as ne saia after the flight, that he could accom plish more than had been expected of him. Furthermore, he did not wait for the Hirmiugham to get into mo tion, which would have added to his momentum and have been a greut help to him. but seizing an opportune moment between showers he was off before those who were on the ship with him and on the other vessels stationed at various points nearby to follow mid assist him In case of need, were uware that he was ready for his wonderful flight, the tlrst of its kind I he world has ever seen. Ely proved that It Is possible to fly sufclv from a ship, and after having done this, asserted with emphusta that it would be an easy matter for an aeroplane to alight on a vessel either while the latter was moving or hi a standstill. Aviation experts who wit nessed the flight expressed their be lief that the navies of the world In the future must take the aeroplane Into consideration when mapping out plans of action. Captain Washington I. Chambers, who has been detailed by the navy department as a chairman of a board for aeronautical Investigation, declar ed that the flight was more than he had anticipated, and he is convinced that the time Is near when all scout cruisers will be equipped with a num i...r f aeroplanes.

As the resit of a report that 3U0 armed Mexicans were marching upon this town cowboys and ranchmen from the surrounding country, armed with ri des und revolvers .are pouring into flock Springs this morning. The ranch people of tbis section nre so anxious for a combat with the Mexi can that they probably will start on a march this afternoon to meet nil iu vaders.

PRICES OF MEATS NOT LOWER HERE Except That Pork Is "Temporarily', Down, Market Men Have no Good News for Asheville People. Dispatches from New York. Boston and Chicago, are to tlie effect Unit the price, of meat, and poultry nre off from two to live cents a pound, beef about five cents, pork from two to three cents and poultry live cents. This is Interesting from the fact that 8 very mad, woman and child is at tbis time verv much concerned over the prices of these products, and any little reduction is always gladly re ceived. A few days ago also. Mr. Ar mour predicted a fall in these pro ducts. However, a visit to three or four of the local meat stalls brought nut the information that there was prnrtl cally no change In local prices with the exception of pork which was tem porarily off about two cents, due to the- cold wenther and the larg. amount of pork thrown on the market us u consequence. Rut at no stall was there a reduction in the price of beef sine- several days npn. At one stall the managers wire of the opinion that the local supply and demand governed the prices ill Ashe ville, ami that northern quotations had nothing to do with them. Another had lust bud prices from the Armour branch here and said that there was no reduction in tlie prices quoted, and slill another thought that It was a scheme to get southern meat dealers to handle western products and that, this accomplished, the price would immediately rise aguili. The conclusion drawn was that there Is a great deal of native meat sold here and local supply bus more to do with the local prices than the western quotations; that whereas pork might be off u couple of cents now compered with a few da. ago. It was likely to go back to where It was and perhaps higher, with a change In wenther or other conditions, and that If there should bo an ubunilauce of cattle tin own on the market, the pries of hoef would be lowered to some ex tent not to the consumer, however. If prices In the northern nnd west ern markets should continue low or go lower It might react on the local mar kets and In a measure govern the prices paid for tattle, but so far there Is n. effect on the local prices.
