MACHINE IN PEEFECT CONTROL It Soars Like Bird to New Heights, Traveling: at Rate of Thirty Six Miles an Hoar. LEMANS, France. Atig. U.r-Tills eren'ng Wilbur Wright of- Dayion; 6.,. made the longest and most successful flight of the series of aeroplane trials which he has been conducting here, remaining in the air three minute and forty-four seconds. The machine circled the field three times at the rate of thlrty-slx miles an hour. On pars ing a grandstand Mr. Wright gracefully descended until within speaking distance thA snertatnrs. who a.nnlauded the ex hibition of mastery of the aeroplane, after J which he soared like a bird to new heights and continued his flight until reaching the starting point, where he gently landed. PARIS, Aug. 11. The French papers and the aeronautic experts, besides extolling th; Wright Brothers' aeroplane, devote much space to picturing with French art the per sonality of Wilbur Wright. "This man," says Frarjx Relchel In the Figaro, "Is strange and cold, but of a cold ness that is smiling and sympathetic. He Is tall, thin, severe a man that Is tempered like steel. The countenance Is remarkable, curious, the head that of a bird, long and bony and with a long nose. The face Is smooth shaven and tanned by the winds and the country sun. The eye Is a superb blue-gray with tints of gold; honorable, gentle, resolute and Intelligent. Those golden glints bespeak an ardent flame, for Wilbur Wright Is a fanatic." As evident of the Interest that Is being taken In Mr. Wright's experiments a crowd of 3,000 persons. Including many women, patiently waited throughout the day until he should decide to take out his machine for a sail. The aeroplane soared down the course and then abruptly, almost recklessly. swooped and turned and came majestically down the field, following the lines of trees, after which it returned to the front of the grandstand. With admirable ease and pre clslpn the aeroplane here descended to a lower level, seemingly to drop the spec tators a polite aerial courtesy. Then It rose again and resmued Its trip, describing xlgzags here and there until It completed three circuits of the course. Finally It came to the ground at the starting point and Mr. Wright again was received with the plaud its of the delighted spectators. There was scarcely a vestige of breeze while the flight was taking place. After the demonstration Mr. Wright said to the Associated Press: "My Idea Is to make longer and possibly higher flights dally. I am feeling out my machine." Among the spectators today was J. C. Coey, the American aeronaut, who was en thusiastic over the performance. ARM V WILL HI V DIRIGIBLE Allen Will Take Ualdnln'a Balloon Regardless of Speed Test. WASHINGTON. Aug. 11. The military dirigible bulio'jn built for the signal corps of the army by Captain Thomas S. Bald win will be accepted. "We are going to buy Baldwin's machine; we need It," said General James Alldn, chief signal officer, and yesterday hi indicated that failure to comply with tho speed requirements will not prevent the purchase of the airship. It is generally understood, therefore, that the speed and endurance trials will merely determine the pries to be paid for the dirigible. Captain Baldwin is satisfied that he can make twenty-two miles an hour under the conditions prescribed by the signal corps. General Alk-n and the scientists who have been watching the Baldwin flights are of the same opinion. Colonel James Templer, former chief of the aeronautical division of the British army, said that he believed Caplaln Baldwin's dirigible could make twenty-five miles an hour In still air. Colonel Templer last night sent his re port to the British War office on his in spection of the Baldwin airship. He recom mended that several of Its features be In corporated in the new dirigible which the aTlnatlauad on, B-Oucd Page. - CHANGE IN TURKISH MINISTRY Recall of Mchmcd All Bey Part Plan to Replace the Old n earl me. of WASHINGTON, Aug. H. The recall of Mchmed All Bey, the Turkish minister at Washington,' announced In tha Associated Press dispatches from Iondon occasioned no great surprise to official Washington. Indeed, It has been confidently predicted that this would surely follow the change In the Turkish ministry as Mehmed All Bey was sent to Washington under the old regime. The general expectation Is that the porte will adopt the general prac llea of recalling all the mlnlsUca appointed before .the constitution was proclaimed and substitute in their places men known to be In sympathy with the new order of things In Turkey. Mehmed Al) Bey Is a comparatively young man, being only about J5 years of age. He, however, ranks high In the diplomatic corps and la a man of culture and learn ing. Before coming to Washington he oc cupied an important position in the foreign office, being one of the counsellors of the office. The minister authorizes a general denial of the stories which reflect upon the character and Integrity of his father. He has been represented as a reactionary, the minister says, whereas In fact he is liberal In his views and often has given advice of that character to the sultan. CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. ll.-The aultun haa made known his Intention of defraying the entire cost of building a new house of parliament and has given orders that plans be prepared. The general attitude of the sultan with regard to the new order of things in Tur key Is giving great satisfaction. In an In terview with one of his new ministers the sultan said: "Every man In Turkey Is a, member of the committee of union and progress, and I am their president Let us live together and make the country prosperous."

Travel sccom modallons are meager In Honduras and It may be several days befire Minister Dcdge, now on his way from Salvador to Tegu cigalpa may reach the latter place to con fer with the Honduran officials regarding the cases of the American consuls at Celba, whoie exequaturs have been cancelled by President Davlla. Mr. Dodge wlll make a thorough examination of the cases of the consular officers .nd on his report will depend In a large measure the future atti tude of the State department In dealing with Honduras. President Davlla's re fusal to suspend the cancellation of the exequaturs was a distinct disappointment and surprise to the State department.

FAV0RED KILLING OF SPANIARDS American Realdcnta of City Declare I Ills Selection Showa Incapacity of Katlvea to Govern . at Present. iiVTT a a,. 11 purnt frAm tha mu. nlclpal elections show that Simon Villa car- rled the southern district of the city, being elected alderman by a large plurality, while Ramon Dlokno was triumphant for the similar office In the northern district, do- featlng Dominator Gomes for the place. Justo Lukban was elected to the assem- bly from the northern district. Simon Villa Is an ex-offlcer of the Insur- gent army and only escaped trial for tho murder of a Spanish officer by the general amnesty proclamation. He Is the man whose Incendiary speeches during his tarn- palgn aroused the Americans and Spaniards of the city to such an extent that protest was made by the Spanish consul general to Governor General Smith as the result of Villa s public declaration that In the event of another revolution he would advocate the slaughter of all Spaniards on the Islanda. Governor Smith replied that these statements had no weight as Villa held no office, Dlokno Is a lawyer and the leader of the labor party of the city. It Is not thought by Americans here that the government wlll allow Villa to be seated, objections to his holding office being made on the grounds that he Is morally unfit to undertake the duties and responsibilities of a position such as that to which he has been elected. The American residents and others of the foreign population of Manila are opposed to the rapid extension of the ballot to the Flllpinos. declaring that the election of Villa and Dlokno clearly demonstrates the Incapacity of the natives for self-govern- ment at present.
