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. '

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

tha Manchus what tho legations con

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. Sheng neiotlated the loans for
the nationalisation of the railways
and has been a leading advocate 'of
tho anti-provincial policy which I Is
regarded as largely, responsible for
tho revolution. 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;:'-.:
