said Santoa-Dumont today to the World
correspondent. "Now 1 am going to work

week. From then on, my experiments

It Is possible to get people to go up with me,

How about your understudy and pupil
Miss Ada PeCostaT' the correspondent
asked."
Oh she has sailed for her home In New
York," answered Santos.
A Cuban by birth, 19 year, old and beauti
ful, .he came to the aerodrome one day with
hor mother. I put her In a balloon basket
and drew her around the shed, showing
her how the apparatus worked. Later we
created a modest sensation tn the field
about the shed. After a' week of trial. I
allowed her to go Into the bagatelle in the
Boise da Boulogne, directing the balloon
herself. I had balanced It so she could not
rise higher than 100 feet and had drag
ropes trailing, though she had full manage
ment of the balloon and steering apparatus."
Though accustomed to public plaudits,
Santos had the ovation of his life this week
when he sailed over Longchamps during
the military review July It, France's In
dependence day.
At the same time the adventure wa. fol
lowed by a new experience for the Brazilian
aeronaut, for the next day for the first
time in his oareer disapprobation of his
conduct wa. printed in the press. The
Journal des Debate, the most conservative
daily newspaper In Paris said:
Not All Praise.
"Though he I. king of the air, Mr. Bantos-
Dumont highly appreciate the mortal, of
mere earth, and at the review his frail
balloon must have shivered in vibrating to
the sounds acclaiming him. From his lofty
position the little Brazilian evidently took
himself lor Jupiter, 'consequently It did not
occur to Illm that he was Indiscreet In dis
arranging by his sudden arrival a ceremony
to which he had not been Invited.
The gods sre heedless of such details.
It was g matter of Indifference to hfm if
he threw out ballast on the troops below
or knocked off their helmets with hi. guide
rope.
Then, recalling that' Jupiter always
thundered, and wishing to carry out the
similitude, he began firing revolvers with
both hands. How contented he, looked.

cared he If the nation's review was dis
turbed.
But General Andre (France's minister of
war) was not so pleased. How small ha
looked on his white horse compared with
Santo. In hi. balloon."
Santo, himself called the World corres
pondent's attention to the article, which
did not seem to annoy him, for he com
mented with a smile:
"It Is true that I was not invited, but
the papers had been saying for three
months that I would be there and that
other balloon would be present. Bo X felt
obliged to go."
Bantos took the World correspondent to
his bedroom to explode the popular notion
that he uses .mall balloons for pillows.
The 'correspondent can testify that his
pillows are "like those of ordinary
mortals."
PRISON REFORMS IN RUSSIA

CoaOdentlal Agent Sent by

ST. PETERSBURG. July 18.-(New York
World Cablegram Special Telegram.) The
csar sent a confidential official to the prin
cipal central prisons In European Russia
and In Siberia last February to get an ab
solutely Impartial, uncolored report about
the state of the prisons and the nature of
the punishments Inflicted on prisoner, for
refractory conduct.
This official, a former colonet In the I
Gusrds, named Zeablnikoff, has now re
turned to St. Petersburg and made a full
and fearless report t.his imperial master,
as a result of whly 1 Improvement In

obtained full reports of the circum
stances sent to St. Petersburg. The prac
tice of chaining refractionary convicts to
cars in mines or elsewhere has been abol
ished. The minor punishments, such as confining
a prisoner in a totally dark cell under
ground, have been much ...odlfled. No
prisoner is to suffer this punishment for
more than three days. The doctor who ac
companied Colonel Zabelnlkoff on his Jour
neys says a week's confinement in a to
tally dark, underground cell Injures the
eyes beyond recovery.
Colonel Zeablnlkoffs attention was espe
cially directed to complaints which had
reached his imperial master's ears that In
the military prisons Jewish soldiers suf
fered far worse treatment than Christians.
Zeablnlkoff found this to be the case in
only isolated instances, and that any dif
ference In the treatment of the two re-
Hglons was due to the attitude of the
lower ranka of wardens rather than to the
action of the prison directors.
A Russian traveler and llterateur named
Dormshevltch has Just returned from Sag
hallen, a penal Island off the east coast of
8lberla. While there he had on interview
with one Komleff, a man employed to flog
prisoners. Komleff Is an "artist" with the
whip. Dormshevitch asked him with how
many blows he could kill a man.
Komleff answered, "two." Then, reflect
ing, he said, "with one," explaining that he
thought he could break the backbone. Kom
leff distinguished between apparent blows
and real blows. He told Dormshevitch to
lay his thick notebook on the flogging
block. The traveler did so. and with one
whining blow Komleff shattered it into
fragments. "Now put your hand on the
block," said Komleff. Dormshevitch conv
plied and heard the same dreadful whtxzlng
sound, but his hand was only gently
touched by the whip. , It Is rptlonal
with Komleff what sort of a blow

flows through the town.
Navigation on the Delaware river below
this city was difficult and dangerous and
a panic occurred on the excursion steamer
Thomas Clyde. The boat, which carried
nearly 1.000 people from this city to Ches
ter, Eddystown and other contiguous
towns, attempted to land at Woodland
beach, but was prevented by the high wind
and rough water. One of the side wheels
caught up a floating log, and the noise
of the log revolving around the paddlebox
frightened the excursionists.. They rushed
to one side and the steamer Hated so badly
that her main deck wa awash.
Scores of women fainted and the greatest
excitement prevailed. Boats were lowered
by the crew and were quickly filled with
the panic-.tric.ken excursionists. Relieved
of its burden the boat righted Itself. The
passengers were prevailed on to return to
the boat and were brought safely back to
their home towns. Ths steamer was sent
to Camden tonight for repairs.

Hill said:
The eastern market Is, a. everybody

on thn market ln enormous quantities and
the public has stopped buying. The trouble

HOLY FATHER PASSES A QUIET DAY
Condition la Inrhaaged, Though Pa-
tleat Is Somewhat Restless,
and Liquid In Pleura Is
Growing Less.
PARIS, July 1S.-A special dispatch to
the Temps frcm Rome says Dr. Masiont
wss questioned at length and told the cor
respondent of that tpcr that the pope's Ill
ness must necessarily be fatal: that his
death waa only a question of time, but that
It might not occur for days, even a week.
On the other hand, . the Journal des
Debats publishes a dispatch from Rome
which quote. Dr. Rossonl as snying that
the condition of his holiness I better from
day to day and adding:
We see n little hope. If his holiness holds
out a ffw dnys longer wilhout fatigus and
takes a little nourishment, us he did last
night, we may definitely hope for a cure,
perhrp. more prompt than Rent-rally be
lieved. Pope's Condition I nehanged.
ROME, July 19. All dny yesterday and
Into this morning the pope wa. restless,
but otherwise his Condition Is unchanged
and the doctors consequently see no reason
to anticipate any sudden crisis.
During the morning the pontiff remained
comparatively quiet, getting some sleep and
seeing no one except the doctors and his
Immediate attendants. For three day. the
official bulletins have practically been un
changed, showing the patient's condition to
be almost stationary.
An Italian proverb says: "When the pa
tient does not get worse he Improves very
much." But with the pope, after ths last
two weeks' experlei.ee, everybody renounced
making any prediction. Undoubtedly symp
toms of amelioration exist, as, while on
Thursday morning, when the pleuritic
liquid regathered,' his respiration reached St;
today, when the liquid 1. lowering, It fell
to i&
Doctors More Hopeful.
In fact It Is known that Dr. Laponnt and
Dr. Massoni discussed the question whether
to announce an amelioration tn thl. morn
ing's bulletin, but abandoned the Idea, for
fear of raising excessive optimism.
The heat Is beginning to Increase. The
shutters of the pope', bedroom window are
almo.t closed, the window I. open ' and
the curtalna are drawn back. It la reported .
that steps will be taken to install an elee- -trtc
fan In the room.
The cabinet ministers have held several
meetings today to discuss the attitude of
the government on the death of
the pope. If the Vatican does not
notify the Italian government of
hi. death and does notify the other govern
ments, as It has done tn the case of the
death of other distinguished prelates, Italy
will not officially participate ln any mani
festations of mourning, but limit itself tt '
maintaining public order and Insuring full
liberty for the conclave, a. presort bed by
law.
Dignity of tko State.
In arriving at this decision tha ministers
declared that they had been guided by the
wish to protect the dignity of the state.
and by no lack of respect for the pontiff,
toward whom there have been the most
chivalrous manifestation, of sympathy
from ths king, who postponed his Journey
to Paris on account of the pope', health.
and from the whole people, who are partici
pating ln the universal feeling of regret at
the pontiffs Illness, thus forgetting the
traditional struggle between church and
state.
