hundred and thirty miles from his
starting point, Harry ,N. Atwood, the
young Boston aviator, who is fast ap
proaching the world's long distance
record In his flight from St. Louis to
New York, landed in a field in Lyons
this afternoon, after flying 104 milts
from Buffalo without a stop.
Ascending in Buffalo at 3.20 p. m.,
Atwood, who has flown seven days
without a mishap, circled to a high
altitude, turned eastward, and, hit by
a brisk wind from the west, shot over
towns and villages at a speed which
kept railroad telegraph operators
busy reporting his progress. He
alighted In Lyons at 5. SI p. m., hav
ing covered the 104 miles In exactly
two hours and 11 minutes.

A train which left Buffalo at exactly
the same time that Atwood did, ran in
eight of the airship most air the way
to Rochester, but arrived there elgh'
teen minutes after the aviator had
pissed around the city and had dis
appeared In the east. The train,
however, had made a atop en route.
Atwood is now 335 miles from New
York, or almost three-fourths of his
1,285-mlle flight. By Tuesday night
he hopes to reach Albany and on
Wednesday In a one-day flight down
the. Hudson river he expects to break
the world's record for the distance
and finish his trip, landing at Coney
Island In New York before sundown.
For the 930 miles already covered he
has been In the air actually 19 hours

Memories of Kind and .

VIEWED NIAGARA
Niagara falls, ont., Aug. 20.
As Admiral Togo motored over the
upper steel arch bridge today gazing
intently at the misty cataract below,
he concluded his official tour of the
United States. He entered Canada
unofficially, being received only by
Japanese Consul General Nokumura,
of Ottawa. After a rest here the ad
miral will continue to Vancouver,
from which point he will re-enter the
United States by rail for a private
visit to Seattle, embarking there for
Japan.
Before leaving American territory
the distinguished Japanese, who has
been the guest of the United States
government for the last seventeen
days, sent the following message to
Washington:
"His Excellency, the Secretary of
State: On the eve of my departure
from the United States I beg to thank j
you, and through you the president, j
for the most cordial and warm recep- '
pie have accorded to mo during my
fislt. i
Pray be assured of my carrying I
ome with me a vivid .impression of I
the kind and friendly fellnRs which
have been demonstrated to me by the j
nation whose welfare and prosperity I
are my slncerest wish. (Signed) J
"ADMIRAL COUNT TOGO."
The admiral and his party reached
Niagara Falls, X. Y., early today and
spent the morning In viewing the
gorge. In a private trolley car, the
Japanese sea fighter rode around the
falls. His face, hitherto expression
less at the sights he has seen, lighted
tip with interest as he saw the solid
heeta of water glide over the preci
pice, the white mist blending with the
overhanging clouds.
The admiral listened attentively as
the objects of scenic interest were
pointed out along the route. He
asked about the dapth of the water,
the power of the falls and the effects
Of the eternal erosion. When he re
turned to his hotel he still was fas
cinated and for a long time stood on
the veranda watching the flow of the
Horse Shoe falls.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
LIMITED AT EXTRA
SESSION BY TAFT
Democrats" Valiant Efforts at Cer
tain Tariff Revisions Set at
Naught by Veto Prerogative-Adjourns
Today or Tomorrow
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. Congress
wll adourn Tuesday night possibly
tomorrow and the most strenuous
session of recent years will pass into
political history. The net results ot
the session 'in comparison with tho
ambitious program adopted at the
outset were, not large.
Canadian reciprocity was brought as
near reality as the executive and leg
islative departments could advance it.
statehood was assured for New Mex
ico and Arizona; campaign publicity
legislation was enacted In a form sat
isfactory to its most earnest advo
cates; a provision was made for an
enlarged house of representatives
based upon the last census, and a few
other measures of minor Importance
were passed.
A democratic house, the first sine
185, seized, upon this sesBlon as a ve
hicle to convey to tlje country the
views of tho democracy on the subject
of tariff revision, but executive dis
approval rendered futile all efforts to
Impress those views upon the statute
books.
Vctws of Tariff Bills
Two tariff bills, one materially re
ducing the existins duties on wool and
woolen goods of all classes, and the
other placing on the free list articles
of machinery and tools used by farm
ers, and amended to Include many
other items, were vetoed by President
Taft. He based his disapproval upon
the grounds that the bills had not
been "scientifically" prepared and
that tariff revision should wait until
reports on the different schedules had
been made by the tariff board. A
cotton revision WJ1 awaits a similar
fate.
The house, tinder the leadership of
Representative Underwood, of Ala
bama, chairman of the ways and
means committee, and Spfeaker Clark,
endeavored to pass the bills over tho
veto but the necessary two-third votes
could not be mustered. These fail
ures to overthrow President Taft's
veto messages were a strong factor in
determining leaders to bring the ses
sion to a close and it la not likely
that the congress, .will be in session.

PRESIDENT TAFT WILL
JISIT "ENEMY'S" LIS
THMWTHST
Will Spend Six Weeks and
Make 2C0 Speeches in
Insurgent States
RESTS THREE WEEKS
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20. Plans
for Taft's coming trip through the
West and to the Pacific coast practi
cally were completed today. The
Journey will be almost as extensive
as that taken by the president on his
famous "swing around the circle" In
1909, when he traveled more than
13,000 miles and visited S3 states. He
will break ground for the Panama ca
nal exposition at San Francisco, make
several score of addresses and attempt
to scale the 14,000 feet of Mt. Ra
nter's precipitous slope.
According to the present arrange
ment, the president will be gone six
weeks. In that time it is expected
that he will make close to two hun
dred speeches' from platforms, from
the rear end of his private car and at
other places not on the regular sched
ule. Republican leaders look upon
the trip as the most important politi
cally that the president has mapped
out since he entered the white house.
He will go through all the states in
the West In which they recognise the
domination of the progressive republi
cans who are counted on to oppose his
renomlnatlon next year.
With adjournment practically as
eurtd for this week, the president
feels that he can get three weeks'
rest at Beverly and be In trim then
to stand the admittedly hard grind of
forty days on a private car.
The president probably will leave
Beverly Sept. 17, returning East
about Nov. 1. He will go West
through Iowa. Kansas, Nebraska. Col
orado and Nevada to the coast. Most
of the big cities In these states. In
cluding Kansas City. Omaha. Denver
and Salt Lake will be visited but the
plans for the trip contemplate stops
at scores of smaller places as well.
From California the president will go
north to Portland snd Seattle. Three
days are to e spent In Washington
state and the route eastward will al
low him to stop in Idaho, Montana,
the Dakotas and Minnesota.
Topic for the president's addresses
will not be hard to And. the party
leaders say

are In progress. Constructive legis
lation to bear on federal regulation
of corporations is regarded aa cer
tain to come as a result of these In
quiries and plans already have been
Instituted to revise the anti-trust
laws.
Charges were revived that Senator
Lorlmer was elected by the Illinois
legislature through the medium of
bribery and a second Investigation
by the senate was gotten well under
way. A. senate Inquiry Into the elec
tion pf Senator Stephens of Wiscon
sin was ordered.
Cold Shoulder to Treaties
General arbitration treaties with
Great Britain and France were sent
to the senate by President Taft, but
they received a frigid welcome be
cause the upper house contended
that one provision of the treaties
usurped Its constitutional perogatlves.
Presentation of the treaties strained
hitherto cordial relations between the
foreign relations committee and the
state department and as a result,
President Taft has made plain that
an issue has been raised which he
will carry to the country, in the'hope
of procuring ratification when con
gress reconvenes.
Friction in the department of agri
culture over the enforcement of the
pure food laws has been aired by
one of many investigations originat
ing in the democratic house, and a

question whether the activities of Dr.
