The conference declared that the resig nation plot 1a a fraud upon the con fidence of a trusting people, and that Bailey was merely duping those who followed him so as to cover up his de fense of a man who Is ssld to have bought hia seat In the United States Senate. , Attention was directed to the fact that the only protests against his res Ignatlon from Washington came from Republicans who had voted with Bailey for Lorlmer. Jt was also observed that the message requesting; him to with draw his resignstlon did not come from the Legislature, but that a group of Bailey's friends assembled In the Leg islative Halls and summoned Governor Colquitt, who read his reply to Baileys resignation.

Lieutenant Bague accomplished a sensational and daring feat today by flying over the Mediterranean from Antibes to the lit tle Island of Gorgona oft the Italian coast. Ha covered more than 200 kilo meters 124.5 miles establishing a new record for over-sea flight. This he did without the assistance of tugs, tor pedoboats or any other craft to guide him or to add to his confidence. Bague started at 7:30 o'clock thl morning in a Bleriot monoplane, with the Intention of landing on Corsica and proceeding thence by way of Sardinia and Sicily to Tunis. The aviator left the ground, rising at once to a considerable height. He shaped his -course southward and soon vanished. Aided by a strong wind, his progress was rapid and a dispatch was finally received here that he had ar rived at Gorgona. This Island lies be tween Corsica and Leghorn. Bague landed there at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the descent being made with awkwardness and with danger on ac count Of the trees and rocks. The mo noplane struck heavily and was badly damaged, but Bague was not hurt; He had Intended landing at AJaclo, on the west coast of Corsica, but, losing his way, he shaped his course too far north, going further than he Intended. Bague'a over-sea flight breaks the previous record held by J. A. D. Mc Curdy, who, on January 30 last, flew from Key West to within ten miles of the Cuban shore, a distance of 91 miles.
