.Ther.e will be no issue of the Mail

that the power plant at Gold Ray
for the first timo In years will be
shut down. As power is absolutely
necessary to operate a newspapet
plant, there can be no Issue.
Tho power has been very weak dur

fact that a small amount of machin

plant to do the work of tho entiro

installed there will be plenty of pow

The machinery which is being in

may bo accomplished the water must
all be turned out of the power house.
It Is expected that by 3 o'clock

Tho Wellnmn dirigible America lias,

Tho last report was that tho weath
or was ideal nnd that the airship
was able to conserve its storo of
gasoline.
Tho speod nt which tho Amorica

Tho last word from Jnck Envin,
tho dirigiblo's wireless operator, was
"gooil.hvo" at noon yestorday. J
Atlantic liners nro expected to in
torcopt nnd relay messages from tho
America.
It is estimated that tho ballooir
has traveled 700 miles already, which
is a record flight for a diripblo. Tho
reason, it is bolioved, that Wollmun
sent u wiroloss messngo yesterday
saying that tho "outlook wits not hi
fiivnruliln" was that the drnuL'lnir
eouilihralor shook the airship ns tho
folating tanks leaped from wave r

Tho crow of tho airship is highly
praised by experts horo because of
thoir grit in undortnking to go on in

that a storm roportod last night off
Sable island may havo struck tho
