The following dis patch signed by Hans Gerlcke, pilot. and Samuel F. Terklns of the balloon Dusseldorf II, was received here early today. It Is dated Kisklslnk, Quebec, October 22. and reads: "After a very exciting trip balloon Dusseldorf II. containing Gerlcke and I'erklns. landed Wednesday noon, 17 miles north of Lake Kisklslnk, 150 miles from Quebec City. "Had IS bags ballast when we land cdf and could have stayed up 36 hours longer only that we had gone to end of all railroads and could never have got back to civilization. 7 5-Mile peed Made. "Our route was St. Louis to Wllwau kee. then about northeast to the end of the Journey. We had a good wind, un til across Michigan, when ve were be calmed Ave hours. Then "we struck a storm belt and flew across the conti nent at the rate of 75 miles an hour. Consequently the landing was very rough and we were lucky to get down with no broken bones. "Knowing that we were near the end of civilization, we chose Lake Kiskls lnk to land.- But the valve would not act, and as we were 10,000 feet too high to get a favorable wind, we did not "start to come down until well past the city, but when we did begin to lower, we came down In nine minutes, landing some distance beyond trie city aa stated above. Brush Retards Them. "Thinking we were but a few hours walk from the railroad we leisurely rolled up the balloon and started back at 3 P. M., but by 6 o'clock we had made only half a mile through the dense underbrush, where we slept In the open that night. "The next day we went back to the balloon for all extra provisions, as we knew we had a great task on our hands to get out alive. We left the balloon the second time Thursday afternoon and traveled as fast as we could till Saturday noon, when we were discov ered accidentally by. Theophyle Bolvln, guardian of the Tenn Fish and Game Club on their grounds. "He waa making his regular weekly trip up the Kisklslnk River when he saw our flag on the top of the hill upon which we landed. When he fired a shot from a gun we answered from some two miles away. That was all the distance we had made during Thursday, Friday and Saturday. ' AMERICA II THOUGHT LOST Scorch for Balloon Will Re'gln To day Unless Word Comes. ST. LOUIS. Oct. 22.

Wipe It Out I YOUNGSTER PROVES WORTH; CUBS III Fielder Jones Sees Dif ferent Teajn Play, VICTORY FROM NEAR DEFEAT Chicago Fans, Calling Team Quitters, Swallow Words. CHIEF BENDER HIT FREELY Chippewa Indian Falls to Deliver Goods as lie Did in First Game or World's Series and AVindy City Boys Take Great Game. BY FIELDER JONES. CHICAGO. Oct. 22. (Special.) With a pitcher capable of holding down the Ath letics" batters today, the Cubs showed a great reversal of form and won a well deserved victory over the Philadelphia? In the fourth game of the world's series. Chicago fans who have been calling the Cubs quitters were forced to swal low their woras. because the National League champions came from behind and won when they looked hopelessly beaten. There was no sign of quitting In the work of Schulte, . Chance. Archer ana Sheckard. They went after Bender aa if he were the easiest proposition in the world and they got results. Cubs Look Like New Team. The Cubs looked like a different ball club, principally because the Athletics could not hit Cole as they had been hit- tins: the men who pitched before. Chance's men played almost perfectly In the field. Their only slip was charged to Brown, who was given an error in the ninth inning on a ball he undoubtedly would have caught if Archer had not run Into him. The pitching of Bender was almost up to that of the opening game. But the Cubs hit the ball better. Tho Indian was not as effective against certain of the Cub batters, notably Schulte, Sheckara and Chance. Schulte scored two of the Chicago runs and was driven in twice by his manager after he had paid his way to third base. Bender appeared to be Just as fast as In the opening game. Furthermore ms curve seemed to break as wen ana no nsort lust s good Judgment, tut the Cubs were more determined and their dtermlnation won tho game. Yoniig Colo Shows Form. rv.10 who Ditched for the Cubs, was good in every Inning, but the third, and fourth. In the former he used bad Judg- . i nihinr a hisrh. fast one to Strunk after having him in a hole. Strunk hit the ball for two bases to center field driving in Bender, who had reached first on a rass. In the fourth he sent a fast one over to Murphy with men on second and third with two out. Cole should have tried a curve or at least a ball not right over the plate. Murphy hit out of Schekard's reach and scored the two runs. If Cole would have worked as well in these two crises as he did in other par's of the game, the Athletics might not have scored at all. Mordecai Brown was effective in the two innings he pitched. He looked so good that Chance probably will use him In the game tomorrow. Mack probably will send Coombs back, figuring that Jack gets better the more -he is worked. Baker Bright Star. Baker's catch of Steinfeldt's foul fly in the ninth inning was the fielding fea ture of the game. Baker also led the Athletics on attack with a- double, two singles and a walk in five chances. The fourth game was played under Ideal weather conditions. The day was rrlght and the field was fairly fast. Manager Chance placed his confidence In young "King" Cole, whom he sent to the firing line, with Jimmy Archer doing the catching. Connie Mack pinned his faith to Chief Bender, believing that the In dian would be able to duplicate his great (Concluded on Pane 2.) I'n-Hallonreen Gas Worked Too Often. CONCRETE BARGES TO BE BUILT SOON SACRAMENTO, CAL., HAS PLANT TO CONSTRUCT ODD CRAFT. . Work on First River Freighter to Begin Monday Wooden Scows to Be Replaced. SACRAMENTO, Cal., Oct. 22. (Spe cial.) Within the next few days the manufacture of concrete barges and boats will be commenced at Sacra mento shipyards. Work on the first barge Is expected to begin Monday. It will be the first concrete boat ever built In the United States. E. W. Hartman, who built 36 such vessels for use on Panama Canal work and who is the inventor of this type of boat, is here to begin work, having contracted to build nine for one of the river transportation companies. The sides and bottoms of barges will be of concrete six inchep thick. The barges will be 73 feet long by 32 feet wide and seven feet deep. They will be divided by concrete walls into 60 air-tight compartments, making them practically unslnkable. The cost of each barge will be J5500. Wooden barges cost $7-i00. Concrete barges are practically in destructible, it is said, and draw less water than wooden ones, while holding 190 tons greater load than a wooden barge of the same size. Many large barges are used in Sac ramento River freight traffic and all are of wood. Indications now are that those now in use will all be sup planted by craft made of concrete. Steps are being taken to have the city of Sacramento provide for the con struction of a wharf 200 feet long, to be built of concrete.

ACTION REGARDED AS RADICAL Legislative Body Has Been Promised for Year 1915. STIRRING SPEECHES MADE Japan's Action In Annexing Corea Stirs Feelings of Patriotism In Pckin Revolution Expect ed Unless Throne Yields. PEKIN, Oct. 22. A surprising revolt has taken place against the government. The Imperial Senate, not three weeks old, has voted to memorialize the throne for the early opening of a general par liament. This action appears to indicate that the new Senate will not be a submissive or mock institution, but one with which the grand council must reckon. As far back as last June a formal demand was made for the immediate convocation of a national parliament, the establish ment of which had been promised for the year 1915. An imperial decree was then issued, refusing the demand, which was adopt ed by delegates to the provincial as semblies and was supported by or ganizations of merchants throughout the country. Japan Hastens Action. The imperial Senate no sooner as sembled on October 3 than the provin cial delegates formed an opposition party and arrayed themselves against the throne The question of the par liament was brought up daily and the demand was made that it have execu tive power. The campaign culminated yesterday, when impassioned speeches were made, in which it was pointed out that a change was Imperative for the salvation of the country. This plea won over a large majority. The Kusso-Japanese agreement with reference to tho annexation of Corea by Japan has been employed eitectively by agitators and the press during the last few months to create a wave of patriotism, and this propaganda lias made considerable progress among th9 intelligent classes, the progressiva arty now showing a strong front against the united officials and the Manchu army. Prince Advised to Delay. It is generally recognized, however, that the Prince Regent is sincere in his desire that the best Interests of tha country be served, and that he has re sisted the change only becauso he lias been advised to do so by the venerable grand couucellors, who believe that the country Is not prepared for so sweep ing a change, and that the establish ment of liberal institutions might re sult in a. calamity. Following the action of the Senat3 there are intimations that many po litical leaders are determined to obtain their demands. In private conversations, educatol Chinese Epeak of a revolution within two years, unless the throne surrenders. A factor in the situation, -however. Is the garrison in Pekin and army di visions stationed .in neighboring dis tricts, which are all Mane' :. Theso troops are always kept at a distance from the capital.
