Wright brothers, made a short flight
with Orville Wright at the wheel at KH1

about 200 feet the machine was put back
in the hangar.
"We want a small hurricane to go up In
this machine," said Orvlllc. "Nothing
less than a thirty-mile blow wrill satisfy
me. We expect this machine to not only
soar aloft like a bird, but to alight like a
bird, thug overcoming the present danger
In coming to earth."
Orville Wright states that if the wind
is strong enough the first Ipng flight will
be made to-morrow.

Pekin. Oct 14 To gle China, as the
rebel viceroy. Tang, said to-dav. "a
government like that of America," the
antl-Manchus are waging a reoiutlon
which, unless it is checked or is soon
successful, will actually become a war
fare of extinction.
The situation to-night is still more
serious than it was yesterday or last
night. The Imperial government is
drawing on its every source to put
down a revolt that Is growing hourly.
The rebels are perfecting their organ
ization as they conquer now territory,
with the aid of thousands of troops
who have deserted the imperial ranks.
Meantime the country is a seething
cauldron of red revolution, with mur
der and arson the chief weapons of the
fiendishly determined insurgents.
Wu-Chang and Pekin are the pivotal
points of the wai. China, at Wu-Chang.
Is a republic, proclaimed yesterday. In
Pekin the Manchu dynasty by countless
royal edicts is directing extermination
of the rebels. A condition of panic pre
vails within the Manchu court. Extraor
dinary precautions have been taken to
protect the prince regent In the fear of
an attempt at assassination. The impe
rial household is In complete disorder.
Hard to 3Iove Troops.
The war officials are encountering great
difficulty In moving troops to the revo
lutionary centers, owing to the precau
tions taken by thr rebels to cripple the
railroads except between points which
they wish to reach themselves.
Little sympathy is expressed for the
Manchu throne. The educated Chinese
are completely In accord 'with the revo
lution. Incoming dispatches that evade the
government censor indicate several new
uprisings. The viceroy of Nankin has
telegraphed for more troops, plainly ex
pressing his doubt that Imperial au
thority can be maintained in Ws province.
Similar advices have been received
from Canton, where an outbreak is ex
pected at any moment. Uprisings, with
massacres of Manchus, are reported from
Tientsin and Pao-Tlng-Fu.
Yuan Shl-Kal, China's "Iron man," for
merly commander-in-chief of the army
and navy, and who was banished three
years ago because his power here aroused
the jealousy of the Manchus, has been
recalled by royal edict and made vice
roy of Hu-Peh and Hunan provinces,
with orders to proceed to Wu-Chang and
re-establish royal authority In that city.
The decisive battle of the revolution
may be fought there.

Dy WILLIAM FEET.
&raal to The Wellington HrraM.
New York, Oct. 14 New York's victory over the Philadelphia
Athletics in the opening game here to-day shows the clubs more evenly
matched than most people supposed, and if Mathewson is able to pitch
the kind of ball he did to-day during the other games in which he ma
be called upon to work, the Giants should have little trouble winning"
the series, although it is doubtful if the peerless Christy will get off so
luckily next time.
The writer still believes that Connie Mack's tribe will eventually
come out with flying colors. Luck was the big factor in New York's
victory to-day. Collins made a miserable error of Herzog's grounder
in the fourth something unusual for the little whirlwind and Uun
slip-up cost the first run. Chief Meyers also got away with a luck
two-bagger in the seventh. Had Lord played in deep center for the
Indian, as he had been told to do, he would have gobbled up the fly-easily.
CREDIT DUE TO "BIG SIX."
Still, wlien nil Is said, you've got to
hifnd it to Mathewson. He was always
master of the situation and was given
real championship support
When the clubs meet in Philadelphia
Monday, in all probability Jack Coombs
will be pitted against Rube Marquard.
If Coombs Is steady, McGraw's men will
find him Just as hard a proposition as
