MlniilrH Ut4>r, (^vvrliig a 1Mb tnn?'? of KlKldy^KiRlit A dispatch from New York says Churlea K. Hamilton arose from Gov ernor's Inland In mi aeroplane Mon day morning and sped without a break 88 miles to Philadelphia in a suceeusfu| cross-crountry flight under the auspices of the New York Times and the Philadelphia Public Ledger, lie made tho trip In one hour and bl minutes, leaving Governor')* la lund at 7.30 and the lauding at Philadelphia at 9.36. Alighting at the aviation field, he delivered letters from Gov. Hughes and Mayor Ray nor to Gov. Stuart ^a^lirmr^meM kages 6/ \6dtigiatolatloh' "from them to bear In return and started , for New York again, with only brief In termission for food, fuel mid oil, .He had flown appoxlmately 70 miles of his return journey when a sluggish motor drove him to descend In o swamp near South Amltoy, N. J.f at 12.r,r> p. ni. The propeller was broken bhure In landing,. but after repairs had been made Hamilton re sumed his Ight at 6.20 and landed at Governor's Island 6.39. Thus the trip was made In one hour and 3 6 minutes at an estimated speed of f>4.96 miles an hour, which breaks the record made In the Curtlss flight from Albany to Now York. That Hafnllton did not make the return trip an easily an the outgo ing trip was due only to haste. He neglected to clean his spark plugs, they fouled, the engine balked, and he had to come down on the hanks of the Rarltan river, two miles above South Am hoy. Curtiss Kt 11 Is holds the ofllclal re cord for speed, hut Hamilton Monday took all American records for cross country distance and duration, and, using his own figures for the return, his average speed 1b a new figure. The broken propeHer was the se cond mishap of the kind during the day, but he secured a new propeller and with a new sot of apark plugs the aviator was able to Mulsh within 12 hours, although 24 hours were allowed In the terms of his contract. During tiie whole of his first lap! Hamilton never varied more than two minutes from his time card and came down on the handkerchief laid down to mark hit landing spot with th? precision of a homing pigeon settling on Its perch. It la an interesting coincidence that Hamilton won his honors with the same biplane that won the Inter natonal speed trophy for Glenn R. Curtiss at Rheims last year and that he was driven by the same propeller with which Curtiss recently made his historic flight from Albany to New York. The weather was Ideal for flight. Ab Hamilton wheeled his aeroplane from Its tent on Governor's Island a special train, chartered by the New York Times and the Philadelphia Public Ledger and carrying his moth er, bin wife, his chief nvechanlcan, Albert C. Doty and Mrs. Doty, stood on a siding of the Pennsylvania ter minal In Jersey City wailing for the word. PERILOUS TKIP. Hoy Aeronaut Severn Parachute aw) (?rat>M Clutch Rope. Clyde Heckle, eighteen years old, made a terrifying 6,0ft0-foot balloon ascension Sunday night, clinging for a part of the time to the clutch rope of the air craft. He landed a half hour after tJie start in the middle of a shallow lake at a summer resort, near Lincoln, Neb. Adolph Welberg, an aeronaut who gives exhibitions at the resort by as cending and dropping in a parachuto, had madf preparation for his regular trip. Young Hecklo with others was holding the-ropes. The boy had ask ed to be allowed to make the ascent, but was refused. Juai us the aeronaut seated in bis parachuto attachment cnlled to his assistants to let go, Heckle, with a knife severed the two ropes holding the aeronaut. The air bag leaped upward and Heckle grasped the clut ch rope of the balloon. Wei berg, with his parachute, was left on the ground -? For possibly a thousand feet Heck le w?>nt upward like a rocket, cling ing only with his hands. Then he managed to swing himself astride the clutch ropo and after an aacent of over a mile, came down without a mishap. Married by Sign language.

Will Have Nothing to Hay About Politic*. Theodore Roosevelt set foot on home Bhores for the first time In about fifteen month# and received a rousing welcome on Saturday as he landed at New York. The sharp crack of the familiar presidential) salute awakened Mr. lloos^velt at Beven o'clock as -his ship, the Kalserln Auguste Victoria, drew Into the harbor. From the mists of early morning emerged the drab .hull of the battleship South Carolina, two lean, swift destroyers and two torpedo boats behind her. Then spoke the guns. Iilue clad sailors lined the decks in' close packed ranks, whilo massed on the quarter deck of the South Carolina stood th<> marine band, a solid splash of scarlet coats, poundhig out "The Star Spangled Banner." It did not take the colonel long to got om the bridge, dressed for the formalities of the day in a frock coat and a top hat. For a moment toe stood bare-headed and waved to the men in sllemt answer to their cheers Then the sight of the South Carolina touched a heart string. "By Oeorgi', that's one of my ehifcpB, he exqlaimed, ["doesn't she look good. I built her and those torpedo boats, too." He bore with hlB usual boyancy a day of heavy fatigue, public duties and private emotions comlngled and at 4:40 o'clock that afternoon left tJie city he had surveyed the same morning from afloat, reviewed in parade ashore and greeted by ex plicit word of mouth to be welcome more Intimately by nis life-long ineighborB at Oyster Hay, L.

He had an expainslve smile for everybody, a cheery word for "the boys," hiB old friends the newspaper men, a pat anecdote for politicians, especial greetings of affection for hiR old command, the Rough Riders, and a (julck eye for absolutely every thing. "Roosevelt good luck" still fol lowed Its namesake.

His welcome brought men prom inent In all walks of life from all parts of the country?therefore it was national. The first zest of public curiosity satisfied, sprculatiou now turns on what &hare Roosevelt will take In an acute political situation within his own party. But on that score speculation must rest unsatisfied. The Col. has positively declared his intemtlons by wireless th<> night be fore: "1 shall .have nothing whatever to say in the immediate future about politics." He kept his word. Therefore ther<- was nothing in the only speech he made at New York Saturday that could be con strued ae. applying specifically to this or that phase of Immediate 8tate or national issues. That he will be Importuned to take a hand In the New York campaign this fall is a foregone conclusion, but by his own declaration he will not com mtt himself to any expression of opinion until ho has acquainted him self at first hand with JuBt how the political lamd shapes Itself. ?
