LONDON, Sept. 19.— Stanley Spencer, a well-known English aeronaut, to-day suc cessfully accomplished a"* remarkable flight over London in an airship of his own invention. It is estimated that his ship traveled nearly thirty miles. From observations of those on the ground Spencer seemed to have complete control of his vessel. He started from the Crystal Palace at a quarter after 4 o'clock this afternoon and descended three hours later near Harrow. The route taken by /the aeronaut was over Stratham, Clapham Common and tho smoky south side of the metropolis, across the Thames, over the populous Chelsea district, across Kensington and Earlscourt, out to Harrow, and then safely past the forest buildings. He ex ecuted an ea3y descent at the little vil lage of Kast Cole. bpencer has been experimenting re centlyvwith his vessel at the Crystal Pal ace. Finding the conditions suitable he suddenly decided to start off on his dan gerous voyage late this afternoon and the usual crowd of Palace spectators gave him. a hearty send-off. • The airship at once rose to a height ot about 300 feet. After traveling for about a mile with practically no deviation in. his course, Spencer made various detour3 and seemed able to stev his ship as easily as he might a torpedo boat. Near Clapham Common he came fairly close to the ground for the purpose of maneu vering. Tne appearance of the air craft created intense astonishment among the thousands of persons on the streets over whose head3 the aeronaut passed. ¦;- ~ Percival Spencer, referring to his brother's trip through the air, said it ex ceeded the longest trip of Santos Du mont, the Brazilian aeronaut, by nearly twenty miles. Spencer's airship has a blunt nose and tail and does not taper in a cigar iike point, like the airships of Santos Dumont. In general outline it has the appearance of a whale. The bag, which is seventy-five feet long, contains 20,000 cubic feet of hy drogen gas. The frame Is built of bamboo and the propeller is in front instead ot behind, as is the case with Santos Du mont's vessels. The motive power of Spencer's machine is a petroleum motor of about thirty horse-power and the ma chinery is controlled by electric buttons. The extreme speed of the new airship in calm weather ts about nf|een miles an hour. The machine accommodates only one person, and its entire weight is about 600 pounds. Special features of the air ship are devices to avoid pitching and dipping. : . .-.

LONDON, Sept. 19.— Secretary i Hay's note to the powers which were signatories of the Berlin treaty of 1878 on the subject of the . treatment of the Jews in Rouma nia, which was received in London about a fortnight ago, was welcomed in British official circles. The tone of the formal ac knowledgment of the receipt of the note here indicates British approval of Ameri can initiative In this matter, and confirms the idea that Great Britain welcomes the continued intervention of the United States in affairs in which Europe is more directly concerned, in the belief that such intervention tends fo indirectly strength en the hand of the British Government. Apart from this the question of the ex clusion of pauper aliens from Great Brit ain is growing more acute, and anti-im migration laws are demanded in many in fluential quarters, so the Government Is in sympathy with Hay's protest in the hope that the wholesale, export of unde sirable immigrants from Eastern Europe may be checked. The newspapers here- continue to com ment on the United States' note. The St James Gazette, in a semi-humorous refer ence to it says: . "The European Governments to whom it was addressed must have been disa greeably surprised, for the note furnished fresh evidence of the growing disposition of the United States to. take a seat in the orchestra of the European concert, which some other performers view with uneasiness."

She was the author of the opera called "Wanda,' ou fa -Puissance de 1' Amour." \ .The* Queen was: very .fond of. horses and was a familiar figure to her people mounted on her favorite steed, galloping along the suburban roads, attended by a groom, or driving in her pony cart with some female relative or attendant In addition to .her grief at the loss of her son she had the further burden In her life of the indifference of her hus band for her society and, his attentions to other women.. This caused much sym pathy for— her and added to his unpopu larity with his people generally. . * The Queen was • one of the very few people who could exercise any influence over her demented sister-in-law, Carlotta to whom her kindness and devotion were most marked. Queen Marie Henriette was the daugh ter of the late Archduke Joseph of Aus tria and was born in Vienna, August 23, 1836, 'which made her just one year younger than her husband, to whom she was married August 22, 1853, about six years before his accession to the throne. Three children, two daughters and one son, resulted from this marriage. The. son the Duke of Brabant, died In January, 1869, when he was ten years of age. His loss was a great grief to his parents, especially his mother, who sor rowed for him to the day of her own death, shunning society and court func tions and giving her time to charity, her horses. and her favorite arts. ¦ • WIFE OF KING LEOPOLD, WHO DIED SUDDENLY WHILE SHE WAS" DINING. The police say they have learned that on Thursday morning: Young returned to the house about 7 o'clock and that he was seen carrying the same trunk he had taken away the night before. This time he had the trunk on his shoulder and was carrying it -up the stairway into the flat. In the evening between 7 and 8 o'clock Ycunjr. it is said, took the same trunk from the house to the office of the Wells-Fargro Express Company on Sixth, avenue, near Fifty-ninth street. There he asked that it be shipped to Philadelphia. He was told that the company did* not ship to that point, the police say, and he then said that it would do just as well if ft was shipped to Chicago. The trunk was accepted and was shipped to that point. The Chicago police have been notified and will watch for Us appearance. - After they had gathered this informa tion the police opened the door leading to the flat, which they found in great con fusion. There was every evidence of a struggle on the part of the occupants. In the small bedroom thev found a single bed, the sheet of which was spotted with btood. and other stains were fpund on a cupboard. Among a number of bottles stood a tiny vial half filled with hydrate of chloral. In the room were found one or two articles of woman's clothing, but they bore no stains. Young was seen about 9 o'clock Wednes day evening, when he appeared in the street in front of the house and asked Alfred Dabney, a lad about 16 years of age. to go into the house and help him carry out a trunk. The boy says he as sented and helped Young carry down a heavy trunk, which Young said was full of books. In front of the house was a horse attached to a light buggy, in which the trunk was placed. Young got in, ac cording- to Dabney, and drove rapidly down Sixth avenue. Late to-night the police gave out the etory cf the murder and the history of Young. f The keeper of the bridge over which he must have driven to reach the canal saw a buggy answering the description of that hired at the stable in Hoboken crossing the bridge between 11 and 12 o'clock on Wednesday night. He could get only a glimpse of the driver, but he says that a trunk was tied on behind the vehicle. The theory is borne out by facts now known concerning the woman's life. It has developed that this life was not a good one, a fact not denied by her husband. It Is now reasonably certain that the murderer kept the body in his rooms un til Wednesday night when he hired the horse and buggy in Hoboken and re turning to New York drove to the Morris Canal, where he threw his victim's bdy into the water. The murdered woman's husband says he saw her last on Tuesday night when she left their apartment for the purpose of purchasing some rolls and fruit. She did not return, and the theory is that she met her murderer, went with him to his apartments and that then as the result of a quarrel he killed her. Young has not been arrested and is be lieved to have lied from the city. He is # said to have shipped a trunk to Chicago* last, night. He formerly worked for tne Hoboken Crusader and the police found his picture taken with a group of em ployes. The apartment in which the murdered woman's clothing was found is situated within a stone's throw of some of the- most splendid apartment, houses in the vicinity of Central Park South*. - The first important evidence developed early. It was the identification of the hitching strap and the weight used as a tinker for the body by a livery stable keeper in Hobokea. These, he said, were placed by him :n a buggy at the special request of a man who hired the vehicle from him on Wednesday night and whose photograph he has identified. The horse and buggy were returned the following morning by the same man. This announcement was made late to night by Captain Titus of the detective bureau who connects directly with the murder a man named Hooper Young, who has recently been employed in a cheap restaurant. Titus has learned that the woman's body was kept for some time under the sink in the kitchen of the flat in. which ehe was killed. NEW YORK, Sept. 19.— The mystery of the murder of Mrs. Annie Pulitzer, whose nude body was found in the Morris Canal, near Jersey City, has been cleared up by the discovery that the woman was killed in a flat at 103 West Fifty -eighth -street, where her clothing was found to-night.

In rainy or misty weather the value of searchlights Is, I think, decreased from 25 to 50 per cent. I had, unfortunately, no op portunity to test the value of fog for running past batteries. I ¦wa.e, therefore, obliged in running past Fishers Island and into Newport to select clear nights, "army nights," where «-very chance was with the enemy, and I had little hope of a successful issue, but as my guiding motive was to help the army test their equipment rather than to gain points, I did not l.csitate to take the losing tide. The whole and only intention ifras to de velop, if possible, any weak potnts in the line of defense established by the army, but whether we have done so or not remains to be decided by the board of arbitration. The work has been arduous and trying, including much night navigation, and I cannot epeak toj highly 3f the way in which it has been carried out by the officers and men of the squadron. The admiral comments interestingly upon some of the lessons to be learned from the maneuvers. For instance, he says: Great credit Is awarded to. Captain Lyon of the Olympia for his cable cutting off land and no Captain Brownson of the Ala bama and Captain Manney of the Massa chusetts for their able work. In fact, nearly all the squadron officers receive their share of praise in the admiral's re port, wherein is noticed the particular service which each rendered. Touching the operations themselves Admiral Hig ginson says: WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.— In~ his report to the Secretary of the Navy upon the combined operations between the army and navy, Admiral Higginson is . most generous in his distribution 5^ praise among the officers of the squadron and especially does he commend Rear Ad miral Coghlan for his very able assist ance. His leading the squadron into New port at night through blinding search lights, smoke and against a strong cur rent is pronounced to have been a bril liant piece of navigation requiring : a steady and undaunted nerve. .
