L AERONAUTS MIKE REMARKABLE FLIGHT III Almost Mile-a-Minute for 145 Mile&, Landing in Water and Sailing RETURN TOMORROW FOfcT MONROE, Va., Oct. 25. Af ter a flight In a hydro aeroplane 112 miles down the roast from Annapolis, Md., lieutenants Gordon Ellyeon, and John G. Towers. V. S. N., landed late today on the broad reach of Btickroe Beach, Va., one-half mile from here. The officers were suffering from the bitter cold when they landed and hur ried to shelter. They left Annapolis at J:J5 and dew-ended here at 4:30. Lieutenant T. G. Ellyson. in charge of the naval aeronautic school at An napolis, and J. H. Towers, made their descent after the mom remarkable time ' ot two hours and twenty-seven minutes. Tha flight today waa the second at tempt In as many weeks, the plucky avlafers being forced to return to An napolis on the former attempt owing to engine trouble; after covering half the distance. When they sighted Old Point Comfort today the aviators be gan to look for a place to alight. At the point of the landing the shore is practically uninhabited and before the lieutenants could get Into communication with Washington to Impart the news of their successful flight they were forced to travel to a telegraph office, seven miles. Lieutenant Ellyson said that the start from Annapolis 'was made In a strong east wind which continued throughout the trip. How ever, he said, the machine had little i difficulty in keeping Its course and they steered a straight course down the west shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The speed of the machine averaged nearly, sixty miles on hour. ' Tomorrow morning, after selecting a landiiisr na-,' the avidtors will fly with tl slr rrach:.i to Old Point.

PEKING. Oct. 25. Further defec tion to the rebels. Including Nan Chang, capital of the province pt Ktang 81, and Kwel Lin, capital of Kwanr SI, have served to increase the tension here of the' revolution. To add to the seriousness of tho situa tion, the Tu Cheng Tuan, China's first national assembly, today gave to tha Manchus what tho legations con sider an ultlnSatum, The assembly Impeached Sheng Hsuan Hual, presi dent of the ministry of posts. ; and communications and demanded ' hit dismissal with severe punishment. A reply is required from tho gov ernment by tomorrow, falling which the assembly will dissolve and tho members return to their respective provinces. From the temper shewn, it is believed the assembly wfll carry out the threat. ,The only course open to the government Is olthsr to sacri fice a man who Is considered by for eigners the strongest member of the cabinet, or retaining him, declare war on the assembly, as well as tho vast majority of Chines. . Opposition to Railway The movements against Bheng Hsu an Hual were formulated by tho peo ple of Sie Chuen. Hua Pen and Nu Nan.

The laha-bltant of these provinces have shown strong op1, position to tho proposed railway. , At tho meeting of the assembly today members urged that they woro not against foreign loans, hut against tho methods employed , and the , results which were tantamount to robbing Chinese, who had arready begun the railways, and selling them out to (or signers.. ,. ...,.-, V.v;:'-.: An opposite view Is Uksn by th le gallons ot , tho . four Interested pow ers, who consider that the loan and tho Hu Kwaag railway- and currency reform, projects ' would . have serve!
