Friedrichshaven, July 3. — Count Zeppelin today outdistanced all world records for steerable balloons. He remained in the air for 12 hours, trav ersed the grater part of Northern Switzerland, and visited Zurich, Win terthur and Lucerne, attaining an av erage speed throughout of 34 miles an hour. His airship displayed splendid qual ities of dirigibility, and answered the slightest movement of the helm, while its stability was quite up to the great est expectations. In the most desirable weather con ditions, almost a dead calm, the air ship manned by a crew of four, under the leadership of Count Zeppelin, left its floating home on Lake Constance at 8:30 o'clock in the morning. Less than five minutes later the balloon rose about 1000 feet in the air and 'timed her bo.ws toward Constance. About 9 o’clock it had disappeared on the western horizon. Telephone messages from Frauden- feldt, Winderthur and other towns soon reported the appearance of the airship and her passage over the Can ton of Zurich. The giant craft re mained ten minutes hovering over tile town of Zurich and the lake, and then vanished from view at a rapid rate in the direction of L’.’.cerne. It was about 11 o'clock when the airship came into view at Lucerne, and the thousands of astonished tour ists from all parts of the world, in cluding hundreds of Americans, greet ed her with loud cheers as she sailed quickly over the waters of the lake With the greatest precision. Count Zeppelin guided his airship and pro ceeded to carry out a long series of evolutions which included complicated figures, circles, the figure 8. sharp turns, descents and ascents. He then undertook a tour of the whole lake, x ¡siting every bay and indentation along the shores. Finally he turned the nose of the ship homeward, cross ing the Albis range of mountains. HEARST WELL SATISFIED. Says His Fight for Recount Was Only for Principle. New York. July 3.-—The following cablegram was received from W. R Hearst in regard to the result of the New York mayoralty contest recount: London, July 1, 1908.—The result is more than satisfactory to me, and 1 hope it will sufficiently satisfy the citi zens for whom this long and arduous strngg'e had been carried on. 1 have said from the beginning that the fight was not to make me mayor, but to secure an honest count of the vote cast by the citizens. In the face of enormous and unnecessary difficulties that count has been secured, and here after it will not be possible for elec tion thieves to commit frauds in se crecy and security behind the barrier of the law. "Whatever election crime is com mitted, be it Teat or small, must be publicly accounted for. That has been accomplished and it means much for the safety of the republic “WM. RANDOLPH HEARST."

The monthly statement of the public debt shows that a the close of business June 30, 1908, the debt, less eash in the treasury, amounted to $938,132.409. which is a u increase as compared with Mav 31, 1908, of $1,793.794.

Washington, July 7.— Because they say the United States is interfering wantonly in the carrying out of her naval plans, Brazil, through her diplo matic agents here, is 'planning a sweeping system of retaliation, where by 20 per cent preferential tariff to Americans in Brazil will be abolished and Brazilian war craft disposed of in any way which the Brazilian gov eminent sees tit. “The movement will be begun by concerted agitation in the Brazilian newspapers." a Brazilion diplomat said to a United States nival officer "We consider it our right to do what we please with our ships. It is no body's business There is no reason why the United States should closely supervise our naval programme ami ferret out each informal agreement which may or may not have been reached.” • Proof that Brazil has already soi l one torpedo b >at to Japan prompted these statements It is said that Bra zil has ordered 26 battleships to be built in European shipyards, and that these vessels, when completed, will be turned over to Japan. Treasury Report. Washington, July 3,— From the treasury standpoint, the fiscal year just closed has been most satisfactory. Since about the middle of October last, when the period of money strin gency set in, and the consequent de pression in business began to be felt there has been a constant falling off in government revenues up to the month just closed. For June a stir plus is shown of nearly $4,000,000 This fact, however, is not significant, as June is unfailingly a surplus month largely due to the fact that it is the closing month of the fiscal year, when appropriations gradually reach the point of exhaustion. The month of June. 1907, showed a surplus of ap proximately $111,000,000, and every preceding June for many years past has shown a large surplus. Navy’ Yards Resume. New York.
