the well known aeronaut of Ham-

(.09 feet to his (teeth. Among the
witnesses of the frightful plunge
were the man's wife and child, and
they were almost the first to reach
his side after the accident. The
aeronaut expired about an hour
and a half after the tragic event.
When the aeronaut reached a
height of more than 500 feet the
spectators were amazed to seo small
tongues of flame issuing from under
the gas bag in front of the motor.
At this time the balloon had passed

QUEENS AND BULLFIGHTING.
Victoria of Spain Hopes to Win
Even 11 Others Did Fail.
Queen Victoria, of Spain is, it is
said, anxious to abolish in her coun-
try the enormities of bullfighting ;
she has hitherto consented to at-
tend at this favorite national sport,
but the hast time she went, shortly
Lt•fure Don Jaime's birth, what she
witnessed filled her with horror
and grief.
So she has caused to be re%ived
the: memory of the fact that the
great Queen Isabella, when she re-
turned from conquering the Moors,
declared that it was her wish to
abolish bullfighting as a cruel short
which, she asserted, had been in-
troduced by the Pay nim Moors and
which was unworthy of a Christian
race. UNITED STATES MARKETS.

THE WORLD AGAIIZSTBRITAIN
Combined Crusade Will Proce3d on the
New Patent Law.
A despatch from Leaden says:
A despatch to the London Daily
Mail from Berlin says the great
manufacturing nations of the world
have taken preliminary steps in a
crusade against the new British pat-
ent law. The project originated with
the Trade and Pnte.it Congress,
which was in session at Stockholm.
from Aug. 20 to Aug. 30. All the
delegates to the congress, includ-
ing those from the United States,
expressed the opinion that radical
measures were necessary to bring
Great Britain to terms. It was de-
cided that this could be attained
by the various nations passing
mere restrictive patent laws, and
by "negotiating patent treaties be-
tween nations which will waive the
domestic patent laws so far as Cie
treaty power is concern.d.
Arrangements for a coalition
against Great Britain will proceed
without delay. It is expected that
the discussion in congress of the
proposed new American Patent Act
will give an impetus to the move-
ment, and it is hoped that the mat-
ter a ill by Spring have progressed
to a point where Great Britain will
be effectually isolated. It is believ-
ed that British manufacturers will
then bo compelled to press the Gov-
ernment to repeal the Act, or snake
treaties with other countries. Ger-
many intends to repeal her present
patent law, which is not enforced
rigidly. She will then be in a po-
sition to combire with other nations
against Groat Britain.
THE FUTURE BATTLESHIP
BRITAIN'S DREADNOL'GIITS
AND COMING DESIGNS.
Two Monster Ships Begun This
Year, One of 19,200 Tous With
Turbine Engines.
The coming of the Dreadnoughts,
aa all the world knows, has meant
a complete revolution in naval con-
struction. In the opinion of most
naval officers the future is to the
Power which possesses must of
those ships and can use them well,
writes H. W. Wilson in the Londua
Daily Mail.
It will be of interest, then, in
view of the pause which has been
niade during tho present year in
shipbuilding, to examine how the
British navy stands in this latest
tope of ship and what are the de-
signs likely to be adopted in the
near future. The Admiralty is com-
mitted to the large battleship and
it will scarcely go back. Nor would
it be wise to do so in view of the
feet that almost all foreign Powers
are fa thing,',:. -:piing British de-
signs. -•�...._
For the present year two mons 1'
ships -a battleship and a cruiser -
have been voted. The battleship,
contrary to the reports circulated,
will be similar in all important re-
spects to the St. Vincents. That
is to say, she will displace 19,200
tens or thereabouts, will carry ten
or twelve 12 -inch guns. and will be
propelled by turbine engines actu-
ated by steam. Thus she will make
up the group of four St. Vincents,
and when she is completed for sea
the British navy will possess two
groups, each four strong, of all big
gun battleships. The other vessel
will resemble the Invineibles, with
improvements, and will complete
the group of four 25 -knot cruiser
battleship'.
SO MUCH FOR THE PRESENT.
It will bo seen that there is no-
thing sensational in the design of
the ships for this year which aro
meant to fill gape in the existing
..rganizatinn. But next year it is
possible that there may be now and
startling departures. From hints
which Ministers and others have
dripped, the Admiralty will be coin -
pilled to ask for no fewer than
five monster battleships. More
may be needed, but this must nec-
essarily depend on the progress
which foreign ships make in tho
next few months.
Germany, it must be remember-
ed, has to -day building or sanction -
td seven battleships of Dread-
nought type (against the British
Dight) and two, or possibly three,
cruisers of the Invincible type
(against the British four). And un-
der her fixed programme she will
ray down three more monster bat-
tleships and one more monster crui-
ser next year, the battleships,
it is
Itlievcd, displacing 21,000 tows or
cu en more. :1 British programme
of five battleships and one cruiser
would bring the British total of
Dreadnoughts up to only eighteen,
s against the German total of
thirteen or fourteen. The British
margin of four or five ships. which
it would give. would be far less
than what the strict two Power
standard demands.
1f. then, we assume that the
British programme consists of fit e
battleships and one improved in-
vincible --and nethina less will sat-

barbettes and machinery will bo•

in even voted, and they may be,
placed in the summer or autumn of
the present year. Tho same course
was followed in the case of the
Dreadnought.
Tho new ship will not improbably
carry a new monster gun, the 13.5
inch, eight or ten of which may ho
mounted, and will thus carry out
the policy of 'but-Dreadoinighting
the Dreadnought." One or two of
these guns, according to report,
have been building for some months
and the employment of them in the
St. Vincent class is known to have
Feon considered and only reluctant-
ly abandoned. All the details are
confidential, but the German naval
handbooks will supply the public'
with what is certainly an intelligent
guess and possibly accurate infor-
mation. According to thein the new
13.5 inch gun will weigh 86 tons,
or nearly 30 tons more than the ex-
isting 12 inch weapon: will be about
52 feet long, and will fire a shell
weighing about 1,300 pounds or 1,-
.100 pounds, as against the 12 inch
shell's 850 pounds. Such huge pro-
jectiles would pierce five feet of
iron and tear their way through tho

The Belleville company is said to

and there is the bare possibility
that producer gas engines might he
adopted. The firm of Vickers -Max-
im has prepared designs for battle-
ships driven by producer gas. and
it is understood that it is ready to
turn out a Dreadnought using gas
forthwith if it finds any power ad-
senturous enough to try such an
experiment. The Admiralty, how-
ever, is not at all likely to install
the gas engine in battleships until
it has been thoroughly tried in
merchantmen arid smaller cruisers.
But that it will finally come may
be taken as certain.
The British battleship of 1910 may
thus be a vessel of 25,000 tons,
mounting eight or ten 86 ton guns,
which will he so arranged as to fire
