Zeppelin's Airship Flies Over Half of
Switzerland.
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

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.
