HIGHEST ALTITUDE POINT Walter Brooking, Driving Wright Biplane, Makes Hour's Flight Over Ocean Beats Former Mark by Close to 3000 Feet. ATLANTIC CIT". July 9. Walter Prookins, driving a Wright biplane, reached an altitude estimated at 6000 feet .over the ocean this evening and broke the world's record for aeroplane altitude. 0 The exact official figures now being worked out by engineer who took ob servations for triangulation will be given out later. " The barograph, an altitude-recording i .Instrument carried on the machine, showed an altitude of 6100 feet. OfHcials, using an altitude gauge on the ground, -gave the height as 5680, and it is be lieved that the final official figures will show an altitude somewhere between the two. By his feat today ' Brookins wins the J5000 prize offered by the Atlantic City Aero Club for breaking the world's ecord. unless a higher altitude Is .'reached here before the end of the pres ent meet. Brookins spent one hour, two minutes and 35 15-100 seconds in the air, according to official timing. About 57 minutes of this time was made in a' circling ascent, the rush of over a mile to the ground jconsumlng less than seven minutes. 1 The former record was 4603 feet, made by Brookins at Indianapolis, on June 17. MILE-MIXUTE POIXT REACHED I'rench "Aviator Travels S.IO Miles la 2 Minutes 56 Seconds. BETHANY PLAIX3L Rheims, July 9. Many records have been broken at the aviation meeting here during the week, but the most sensational flights have been made by Leon Morane, the French avi ator, who in a new 100 horsepower Blerlot monoplane today covered five kilometers (about 3:10 miles) in 2 minutes, 56 seconds, and ten kilometers in 5 minutes and 47 seconds, and by M. La Bouchere, also a Frenchman, who broke the world's record for distance, flying 340 kilometers (211.14 miles) in a single flight In 4 hours, 31 tnlnutes and 46 seconds. The most remarkable achievement of a remarkable day was that of Morane, who made his flight of more than a mile a minute while three other machines were In th i air. As compared with him, they :-emed to be standing still. LeBlanc will use the same type of aero plane in the Gordon Bennett contest and French experts consider that he has a eplenxiid chance to capture the trophy, as he speed developed by Morane today was more than four minutes under the winning time of Glenn. H. Curtiss for the same distance last year. Olieslagers reduced the 100-kilometer record (62.27 miles) to one hour and eight minutes. Aubrum, in a monoplane, with a .single passenger, covered 135 kilometers (83.9 miles) in 2:09:07. La Bouchere was awarded a special prize of i 1000 for break ing Olieslagers' record of 250 kilometers. The constructor's prize for the greatest total distance covered by three machines of one design goes to the Antoinette monoplane, which covered 2744 kilometers (1706 miles). Mamet established a world's record for carrying two passengers. He flew for ' 62.75 kilometers (57.90 miles) at an altitude of 60 meters (164 feet). Auburn made a new distance record with a single passen ger, of So kilometers (62.78 miles) in one hour 27 minutes 33 seconds. Both used Bleriot aeroplanes. AIRSHIP WILL.

MEXICO WANTS BACKDOWN (Continued From Drat Pare-) Interest In the relation of the United States with Nicaragua, which is at present In a deplorable condition, and the well being, which, as well as that of other Republics of Central America, the Government of the United States and the government of Mexico did so much to promote during the period of the Washington convention. "As your excellency will have sur mised, the telegram which Dr. Madrlz ordered sent to you, as well as tele grams sent to a large number of other governments in which the continuation of the struggle In Nicaragua is at tributed to the policy of the United States, has evidently been transmitted under erroneous information with re spect to the actual facts and the prin ciples of International law applicable to the case. "As to the statements made in the information, I communicate the text of the declaration which the Secretary of State has ordered delivered to Mad rlz, through the American Consul at Managua, as well as to the Estrada faction, through the Consul at Blue lie Ids."

ALL PARTIES ARE HOPEFUL Settlement of Irish Question May Be Attained, King Desiring to See Imperial Parliament Relieved of Local Affairs. BY T. P. O'CONNOR. (Special cable to the Chicago Tribune, copy right. 1910, by the Tribune Company.) LONDON, July 9. The situation 1 greatly changed in the House of Com mons and the whole political world. John Redmond's success in getting the ministers to have November sittings and to postpone the final stages of the budget until then has produced equal delight and appeasement in the Liberal and Irish circles. The Liberals are pleased because the postponement of the budget leaves the fate of the government entirely in the hands of the House of Commons and thus prevents any chance of any such compromise by the Liberal negotiators as would imperil the Liberal principles. Hence that dangerous spirit of mis giving and revolt which threatened open rupture between the ministry and its supporters has been exercised and the whole political temper again is tranquil and even cheerful, so far as the Liberal and Irish ranks are con cerned. The Tories are equally pleased, their opinion being that all this cessation from the conflict helps them by sooth ing the popular passion against the House of Lords. Conference. May Agree. These facts account for the consider able change during the week in the at titude of all parties towards the con ference. The pessimism which looked for a-n early rupture or a final dis agreement, owing to the gulf between the two parties, has given place to a spirit of optimism and the general im pression that the .conference will eventuate in an agreement between the two parties. But, though this trans formation of temper may mean some thing, it cannot be taken too seriously. Never has a political secret been better kept than the proceedings of the con ference. Even to their colleagues the negotiators are dumb, Balfour's Illness besides enticing a new element of un certainty and delay. Another sure sign of the times Is the feeling among the more rational Conservatives that the conference. If it means a compromise on the constitu tional question of the Lords' veto, also means a compromise on the Irish ques tion. Evidently everybody feels the solution of the Irish, question cannot be much longer delayed. Irish Question to Be Settled. This feeling is aided greatly by the spectacle of the Irish party controlling all English politics at this moment. It was the Irish party which forced Pre mier Asqulth and the Cabinet into the announcement of the demand of guar antees from the late King. It was the Irish party that passed the budget and forced it down the throats of the House of Lords, and it was the Irish party which forced the November sitting. The Tories are thus driven to contemplate the desirability of removal from the Imperial Parliament of so disturbing an element. - Another factor Is the well-known opinion of the present King that lo cal questions should no longer occupy so much of the time and attention of the imperial Parliament and "that a system of home rule all around should leave the imperial Parliament to deal solely with imperial affairs. Ulster and the Orangemen are the only ob stacles left to settlement between the two parties on the home rule ques tion. "No Popery" Is Issue. In the meantime the uncertainty arid surprises of British politics are re vealed by the history of the accession bill. It seemed impossible that any person could object to the removal of the words of the royal oath insulting to millions of Catholic subjects, but the "no popery" feeling was being carefully machined by the ultra Protestant associations. Walter Long, formerly Chief Secretary for Ireland, and most of the old-fashioned Tories were not allowed to speak. Owing to the support of the accession bill, the parliamentary vacancy In Liverpool. Is likely to lead to a fierce fight, where the accession oath will rush to the front as the main issue. The ministry, after resolving to post pone the bill until November, now has resolved to bring It to a final de cisipn before the present sittings. In order to head off the "no popery" agitation. Redmond Scores Again. Redmond scored another big victory this week. Lloyd George, though he is hard pressed for money and though he failed to get $4,000,000 from the City of London at 3 per cent, has agreed to lend another million to Ire land for laborers' cottages at 2 per cent. ''- This new victory has provoked the Tory members of the rural con stituencies in England to explain that the Irish party is the most powerful factor in getting anything done in the present Parliament and they complain that members could not get for the agricultural laborers In England what they had won for the agricultural la borers in Ireland. ROAD BUILDING HIS STUDY Mayor Rodgers, of Salem, Will Go to Belgian Congress. SALEM, Or., July 9. (Special.) Mayor George F. Rodgers will leave Monday for Belgium, where he will attend the meet ing of the International Association of Road Congresses as the only representa tive from Oregon. He leaves New York In the steamer Carmanla and will land at Antwerp. The association meeting opens July 31 and will continue until August 3. During his absence the Mayor will make a spe cial study of road-making and municipal conditions. It Is probable he will be one of the most energetic and active delegates at the convention, as he has made almost a life study of good roads, has entered actively into the work in Oregon and is going for the express purpose of gaining ideas which he hopes will result in much good for Salem and the Willamette Val ley upon his return. , . The King of Belgium is president of the roads association and Mayor Rodgers will jta rnnwi, with, letters ta JUm, a.rHt tA msx. eral of the European monarchs. asking that the courtesy of various Continental realms be extended him to afford him the best opportunity possible to study road making conditions and the government of European cities. WILD MAN IS COMMITTED J. J. Kirby, Who Scared Brewster Valley, Found Insane. ROSEBURG, Or., July 9. (Special.) J. J. Kirby, the demented Individual who recently terrorized the residents of the Brewster Valley districts, and was later captured by Walter Laird and brought to this city, was committed to the Insane Asylum late today by County Judge Wonacott, and Acting County Physician Vincil. When Kirby first arrived here under guard the physicians entertained some hopes for his recovery, but this idea vanished yesterday when he became violent. He continues to entertain the delusion that his life Is being sought by a pursuing mob and emphatically refuses to accept medical assistance.
