AIR SHIP FEAT A An Ohio Man Alights orr a SfcyVa per and Returns to Starting Pitut Toledo, O., June 30. The most re markable flight ever made in an air ship was performed today by AT R. Kanbenshue, who sailed through the air a distance of three miles and landed- on top of a ten-story office build ing in , twenty-five minues from the time of starting, and then returned to the spot from which he started. The - "day was ideal for the daring feat.- A light wind was blowing from the east and Kanbenshue sailed his aerial craft directly in the fact of the wind. -Two days ago he declared he would sail down-town and alight on the top pf a ten-story building. When he left the. starting place he directed the ship straight for the city. When half the distance had been covered an upper current of air carried him up to a distance of 3,000 feet. But the nervy director did not lose control of his machine for a moment, and steered it directly for the heart o fthe city. Business was entirely suspended and the entire population gathered in the streets to watch the course of the ship. Wrhen directly over the sky scraper Kanbenshue directed his craft downward and alightfed on the build ing with the ease and grace of a bird. A round of applause greeted the dar ing narigator,. who was less excited than any of the spectators. After ex amining the ship to see that it was all right, and receiving the congratulations of his friends, he started on his trip back, and going with the wind he made the return voyage in fifteen minutes. He declares that his present ship is far superior to others he has navi gated. " ; - . Mt. Washington Timber Doomed Boston, June 30.

C, June 30. Special. The most talked of subject in Wash ington today was the severe castiga tion given the former chief engineer of the Panama project by Secretary Taft, which was made public last night. People generally regard Taft's severe denunciation of Wallace's action, as just, and they say Wallace, received exactly what he deserved. In fact not a voice is raised in his defence.

TRADE'S DULL SEASON M Much Doing at This ! Time of the Year " The Future Full oil Promise Busi ness Good in Seasonable Lines. . ' i Textile Manufactures in Satisfac tory Condition New York. June 30.-Dun's Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say : ! Commercial' conditions seldom change at midsummer, and quiet" markets pre vail unlesB there is a movement at the commodity exchanges in response to i -crop reports. The past .week has proved no exception to the general rule. Seasonable merchandise has gone into distribution freely at retail, dupli cate orders for summer lines are more numerous with jobbers now that the weather has become, settled, and travel ing salesmen send in substantial con tracts to wholesale dry goods houses for future delivery. Manufacturing tlants are well employed for this time tf year, in which it is customary t,o fnake inventories and repairs; but next fveek the idlerfess will be, further in creased, after which ' a general re sumption s of activity is anticipated. This confidence in the future and the increasing promptness ' of mercantile (collections are the best features of the bade situation. The least favorable is the speculative fever which has ap peared in grain and cotton, prices ris ing more than is apparently justified by the reports to this paper , regarding progress on the farms. ! Notwithstanding the gradual accum ulation of pig iron at valley furnaces, which has continued despite the closing of . many more plants, it does not ap pear that quotations have materially receded. This stability in the face of indifferent buying is obviously due to great confidence .in the future among producers. A large contract for billets was the feature of the week's business, and structural steel is still the most consistently active department. Many moderate-sized contracts have appear ed and a single bridge order for 50,000 tons is 'under negotiation; Merchant steel and- agricultural implement ma terials are fairly strong features of. the market but in almost all lines the placing of .contracts is being deferred in ,the hope of better terms. As much new business is being held back, it would seem that producers would ulti mately be in a commanding position. Textile manufacturing conditions are most : satisfactory. Primary markets for cotton goods are strengthened by the sensational rise in the raw ma terial, and purchasers are less re luctant to provide for remote require ments, although business of this nature is still .far below what might be ex pected. Efforts to secure Immediate delivery comprise the major part of daily inquiries, and an enormous volume of business would be consum mated if the mills were able to fill spot orders. , Improvement continues in leather trading. No large sales are reported,' but the aggregate of small orders is considerable. Some confusion as to price is caused by the attractive rates prevailing for leather made from hides taken off during the packers' strike, but there is no depression on standard tannages. Calves' skins and harness leather are both firmer and in better demand. , ; Commercial failures this week in the United States are 24D against 195 last week, 229 the preceding week and- 249 the corresponding week last year. Failures in Canada number 16 against 29 last week, 25 the preceding, week and H last 'years WELCOMED TO FRANCE Admiral Sigsbee's Squadron Arrives at Cherbourg - Artillery Salutes Exchanged and AH Flags I in the Harbor Dipped to the American Ensign Fine Scene on the Water " ' Cherbourg, June SO.

Sigsbeeconsisting of the armor ed cruiser Brooklyn (flagship) and the protected Cruisers Chattanooga, Ta coma alna Galveston, which is to con vey, the body of Admiral Paul Jones to "the Uinted Statesv arrived here at 9 o'clock this morning and was greeted with! a roar of guns from the, land forls and warships and the dipping of flags on board all the vessels in the harbor. , ' A thick mist overhung ths sea, pre venting ttie semaphores from register ing the approach of the American ships until they were near the outer harbor. The squadron presented a handsome appearance as tt approach ed With the Brooklyn leading the line. The batteries at-the arsenal fired a welcoming salute of twenty-one guns, to which the four Americans answered gun for gun. The squadron anchored in the inner harbor at a point desig nated by Admiral Besson, commander of the port.- ! The aspect of the harbor was strik ingly beautiful as the sun came out and the many merchantmen, siteam yachts and other pleasure craft in these waters strung out their full complement of colors, in which the American flag predominated. Much regret, was felt at the fact that the division of the. French north ern squadron assigned to participate in the ceremonies of the transfer of the A'merncan admiral's body to the Brooklyn next week did not arrive here in time to participate in the welcome to the American ships.

The Men SorreflderWittiout - Firing a Gun ALL MAY BE EXECUTE The Collapse Came When Kruger'a. SquadronXgJeamed into the Har- ; bor New Version of the Outbreak Differs From the Stories Which Have Gained Currency Odessa," June 30. 8, p. m. The mutiny, has collapsed as suddenly as it. began. The crew of the battleship Knlaz Po tempkioi today surrendered to Admiral Krugerrs squadron without firing a shot,' Beyond this fact there is little to be said with absolute certainty, for , the approaches to the harbor and the sea front are still barred by impassa- i ble masses of troops nd. communica tion with the warships'- is impossible . It became generally known, early today' that two battleships fromr Sabastopol) had arrived a a point seventeen mllea' from Odessa over night and anchored. but no one knew whether the crews- of; the vessels were loyal or not. ' During the morning , the houseto; an windows at every view point the higher - parts of the town wero thronged with citizens looking anxiouss. ly seaward and awaiting developments. Presently news came"that other bat-, tleships, a cruiser and several torpedo boat destroyers' and torpedo boats had joined the first two battleships, and; that all were aijproaching at full speed, j In the course of a few hours the news' was verified by the appearance'- of the , squladroi. c It entered the bay 'and' steamed, towards the Kniaz Potemkin, ; from which the rebel flag was still! floating. Nobody could discern whether the squadron was hostile or friendly towards the rebel ship, and amid, ex-'. cited hopes and fears all manner " oil conflicting rumors spread.. At one time some excited citizens ran through the streets shouting that all the ships were mutinous and that a bombardment ot. the city was about to begin. - As time passed and the squadron, Jsteamied on. it could be seen with; glasses that the vesselsi were closing Irx a semi-circle around the Kniaz Potemi-.'' kin, which shifted shorewards. A lit-' tie. later ten boat loads of armed men. were seen to leave the squadron for tha rebel battleship, but their purposa could only be conjectured. It could bei seen, however, that the heavy gunsn of the squadron were all trained on the mutineers, and the hopes Of tha supporters of the government- revived! as the position showed that the Kniaw Potemkin was doomed to surrender orj . be sunk. The suspense was extreme &m time passed without the possibility . ot learning nic nuiuoa na,f iJtw... - lact tn the. intense relief of the watch- ers,'the red flag was hauled down. Not a aYtnt wn. fired, and so far as could be seen the surrender was absolutely unconditional. From . the subsequent. ; movements it seemed that the mutinous j crew, were being taken in the boats in small batches to the other vessel of tht squadron. . ( . . . '' i Story of the Outbreak London, July iT-The Standard Odessa correspondent says that tX noon Friday a boat from the Knla Potemkin landed nine officers, includ-U ing a lieutenant and a colonel. Theyi ,. stated that a surgeon, a s'ub-lleu tenant! and one ensign were killed, and that the remainder ef "the officers wero prisoners on the battleship. Thirty 1 sailors were killed. The following is; the story of one of the ;eye-witnesse3 1 of' the mutiny:. . " Last Tuesday at noon, when the bat- tleship was at sea, fome of the sailor j complained to the lieutenant ln com- I mand at the time 'that their food was,, bad. The lieutenant o.fdered the crew f to line up and commanded those who were satisfied with their food to go to the right and those who were dis-; satisfied to the left. s A majority de- ; clared themselves satisfied, whereupon, ; the -remainder made a dash for the;, armory and began to slaughter the of ficers, who were dining. They were not armed and were not aware of jhzt was happening. Many of the officers and- sailors, rushed to the side and jumped overboard to save their lives , Among these were the captain and . first lieutenant. The mutineers in the meantime had loaded a six-inch gujv with canister and rained a hall of. shot on the water, killing all who tried. , to escape, -except one sailor, who lived to tell the tale.
