in the history of aerial navigation. It
left the Lake of Constance yesterday

its pilots and was navigated over the
Lake of Constance, down' the Valley
of the Rhine, over Strasburg and sev
eral other cities, and was expected

surface of the Rhine for repairs.
These, however, did not take long,
and the airship was soon on its way,

lifetime and his personal fortune to
the development of his airships. The

a diameter of about 45 feet It tap

frames used in steering.
It was fitted underneath with two
independent platforms, each carrying

korepower. As many as 16 pas
sengers had been taken aloft at one
time. Sleeping accommodations were
provided for the crew and an appa

Wellsby in the chair. Delegates were
present from the United States, Ger
many, t ranee, Holland, Belgium,
Denmark, Italy and Great Britain.
Lord Wellsby said the idea of pro
tection was advancing in an aggres
sive manner, but in spite of this the
policy of the free trade ultimately
must prevail.
Free trade and its bearings in in
ternational relations was discussed by
Winston Churchill, president of the
board of trade, who argued that
Great Britain was an object lesson.
She had mirsued the free trade policy,
yet she remained prosperous and
powerful and it has been found that
British goods entered all other coun
tries on as good terms as was se
cured by any nation by the most elab
orate of fiscal weapons.
Mr. Churchill was frequently in
terrupted by a party of suffragettes
who finally had to be ejected.
Harvey M. Sheppard of the Ameri
can free trade league, took part in
the discussion. ,

ANOTHER CHICAGO BOMB.
Dynamite is Exploded in Doorway
of a Saloon.
CHICAGO, Aug. 5. A dynamite
bomb was exploded today in the door
way of the saloon of Jacob Telser,
1750 Larrebe street, wrecking the in
terior and frightening Telser, who,
with his wife and three children, oc
cupies an apartment above the sa
loon. The police searched the alleys and
yards and the immediate neighbor
hood but no trace of the dynamiter
could be found. ?
Saloonkeeper Telser believes that
the explosion is the work of persons
who have been seeking to force him
to leave the neighborhood. He told
the police that recently he had re
ceived a number of threatening let
ters because he had refused to dis
post of his saloon to an Italian. The
saloon is situated in the center of the
Italian colony on the north side.
