TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1910. ( CHINA ON VERGE OF BIG REBELLION BIG DEMOCRATIC GAINS PREDICTED House Control Expected to Change Though West Stands Solid. 10 DISTRICTS IN DOUBT , w York Herald Forecast Show Republicans Most Carry All Doubtful Districts to Main tain Present Leadership. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Waah ' Ins-ton, Oct 10. Congressional election forecast compiled by the Washing-ton 1 correspondent of the New York Herald indicates very atrongrly that the next House of Representatives will be safe ly Democratic Nothing- short of a miracle. It la said, can bring about a Republican victory a week from next Tuesday. The tier aid's figures show that the Democrats are reasonably certain of 157 districts, leaving 40 districts In doubt. Repub licans must therefore carry every doubtful district In order to control the next House. If the Herald's figures are correct. In a tabulated statement the Herald predicts the re-election of solid Repub lican delegations from Oregon. Wash ington. Idaho. California. North and Houth Dakota. Wyoming. Montana. T'tah. and Colorado. Heretofore two California districts were regarded as doubtful and at least One in Colorado. The latter state is now represented by three Democrats. Nevada is the only far Western state listed as doubtful. Losses Heavy in East. Heavy Republican losses are Indicat ed in New York and Pennsylvania. At present the Republicans have 25 dis tricts in New York. They are conceded only 13. with four other districts In doubt. In Pennsylvania where 27 dis tricts are now Republican only II are conceded the Republicans and five are doubtful. Thirteen districts in Ohio are now Republican. The Herald shows only nine likely to be Republican with three in doubt, while In, Missouri, which now has six Republican Representatives, only one seems sure of re-election and two districts are doubtful. Three Re publican districts in Illinois are In donbt and In Iowa Democrats are con ceded a gain of three and possibly four seats in a delegation of eleven mem bers. BeTeridge May Lose Seat. - There is a possibility that Repub licans may gain one Congressional dis trict in Indiana where they now con trol but two out of It, but according to the Herald there is no doubt that the next Indiana Legislature will be heavily Democratic thus bringing about defeat of Senator Beverldge, In surgent. In Kansas Democrats are accredited with gaining two districts and are given one -sure district In Wisconsin with two others in doubt. Other changes are- Indicated but the princi pal Republican losses indicated by a preliminary canvass are as given, above. Commenting on the political situa tion the Herald says: "In perhaps CO Congressional dis tricts which are close, the result will be decided by -regulars' voting against 'insurgent' nominees and for Demo crats and ' by 'Insurgents' voting against 'regular nominees and for Democrats." $150,000 HOTEL BURNED tr Kims at Kxcelsior Springs Is Total Loss Visitors Saved.

Graiiame White was still gaining on Delsseps, but the Frenchman was first out across New York Bay and around the status, about 1000 feet above the big black bal loon that had showed him the course. The crowds along the Brooklyn water front, on Governor's Island and along the Battery shouted and waved hands and handkerchiefs. Lead Soon Overcome. Then Grahame-White sent the noee of his Bleriot around above the head of Miss Liberty and started back along the same course he had traveled. DeLeaaeps still hsd a slight lesd. but with the wind at his back, Grahame White put on full speed and began cut ting down his rival's advantage. Mid way over Brooklyn the aviators were on even terms, each at an altitude of be tween 3000 and 3000 feet, but reaching the outskirts of the city, Grahame White forged ahead and set sail In earn est for . Belmont Park. De Lesseps kept directly In the Eng lishman's wake and now and then could be seen working his control in sn en deavor to get greater eveed from his ma chine, which was fast falling behind. Both men continued to fly above the railroad track. Passing back over Jamaica. Grahame White had a lead of about two miles. Arriving at the aviation Held, the Eng lishman started his descent from a height of about 3000 feet. He came down in a graceful sweep over the tops of the great trees with the nose of his machine pointed downward at an angle of 40 de gree. As Qrahame-Whlte-had done, De Leseeps came down from a level of SOOO feet. Moissant Is Off. Molsrent was tuning up bis newly bought Bleriot preparatory to making a start. At first its motors did not sing true, but finally they became attuned and be was off over the grandstand. Fifty miles an hour was the speed the spectators reckoned he was making against the cold wind. whiwas blowing about 10 mites an 1' ?Ie crossed Brooklyn at an altitude or iuU feet. To those who bad seen Grahame-White and the Frenchman It did not appear that Moissant's machine whs as steady ns theirs. Now and then It seemed to dip or swing from one side to the other. If Moissant was having trouble he did not show it, for he kept winging shead. with never a let-up In speed. Reaching the East River, Moissant swept across to the NewYork shore and passed almost above the Battery. iyl tt-ttt "i--it- fi iTsa inr si i n n niTir v iisTWsiign tt i 4 , 1e1 Copyright by American Press Association.

Above the massive figure he seemed to stop momentarily, then shoot ahead for the return to the aerodrome. Like the two rivals who had preceded him, Moissant had the wind at his back and sped across Brooklyn at a mlle-a-min-ute clip. Lower Level Chosen. Once be deviated from his course and followed the elevated railroad struc ture, but. finding himself going wrong, he turned again toward the tracks of the Long Island Railroad and followed them back to Belmont Park. Moissant did not fly at the high alti tudes of Grahame-Whlte and Del.es seps. Probably 2000 feet was his aver age, but often he was below that. Cer tainly he was not much above 1500 feet when he reached the aerodrome. Ha was numb with cold when he alighted, but was as happy as a schoolboy when his time for the IS miles showed that he had accomplished the feat at better time in the aggregate than a mils a minute.

PATENT OFFICE RUSHED Inventors' Attention Turns to Prob lem of Slotors- and to Achiev ing Stability Rlectririty Is Receiving Study. ' WASHINGTON. Oct SO. Multifarious as are the new devices which are being applied to the navigation of the air, none is likely to be found to take the place of brains In the aviators. This is the opinion of James H. Colewell, the patent office expert, who has Im mediate charge of all flying machine inventions, and who has given personal attention to almost every application for a patent In that line. Summing up his views today, he said: "Ten per cent of the success of every aerial flight is due to the machine, 15 per cent to the motor and 75 per cent to the man. The man of indecision, poor Judgment, weak nerves or slow judgment is as much out of place In an airship as a defective motor. "Airship - Invention has received a stirring Impetus within the last few years, and there Is no more reliable Index to this activity .than that dis played by the records of the patent of fice. It began with the first exhibi tions of the Wright Brothers on the North Carolina coast and has Increased in geometric ratio since, with the con sequence that to date about 3000 pat ents have been Issued on these ma chines or on devices connected with them. Tbe bureau is now handling aa average of about 90 cases a month. "The Patent Office regards as estab lished the- principle of the plane In this method of transit, and the inventive genius of the world is now concentrat ing its attention largely upon the mo tive power. Electricity as a motive power Is being the subject of careful Inquiry. The weight of the electric motor is a bar to its use in aerial craft, and tt is feared that no progress can be made until a way It found of gath ering this force from ihe atmosphere. "Much attention also is being given by Inventors to stabilizing," by which is meant the keeping of an air car in the right position. In rase of accident, the machines have a tendency to turn turtle. Already vast Improvements have been made. "Inventors also are seeking for Im proved methods of rising and alighting. The air men want a machine which can lift Itself suddenly from the ground, like a bird, and which can' light any where. To satisfy this demand, the Inventors are turning their attention to the horizontal -screw, such as is used in water In connection with subma rine boats." Oh, My! Pumpkin Pie!

I say, therefore, calmly but emphati cally, that foreigners In China are dwell ing in a state of Imminent danger. The balance is so delicately set between p?ace and massacre that -x very little cause would turn it to the side of blood shed. Therefore. I warn as many as my views may reach to be prepared for serious happenings In China at any time. I have gone through one rebellion with in the past two months that caused but little stir among Western capitals. That outbreak was suppressed on the surface. But the spirit Is still there; it animates not merely southwest China, but almost every province of the Interior. The riots of Changsha are still the talk of the masses. The whole of the Yangtse Valley is more or less dis turbed; from north, south, east, west come tales of simmering discontent snd disapproval of the gentry and official classes. It is but a hairsbreadth from that to hatred of all foreigners. Even" in Yunnan, a province bordered by the British In Burma and the French in Tonkin, removed but a few days from the throbbing centers of civilization, riots and disorders are as rife ss any where in the Empire.
