he was ready to board the ship to-day but has cancelled his reserva tion thnt tlirip l anything unusual in miiuecllou with this sudden recall is denied by mr crane i am to go back for further instruc

plans for whiling away the time on the voyage to-night mr crane attended a banquet given in his honor by the cham ber of commerce later he was the host at a dinner given to mr o'brien and a number of prominent business men most of the guests at the dinner were with mr crane when he received a notice of his re call to washington they had been with the diplomat on a trip around the city and had goue to the hotel to bid him good by but a telegram awaiting mr crane changed his plaus and the adieus were not made Â„ Â» mr crane expcct6 to leave for washing ton to-morrow morning to close frieuds he said he did not anticipate a long star in washington and expected to return to san francisco in time to sail ou the steamer korea october 0 that this is his present plan is evidenced by the an nouncement that his family will reruaiu in san francisco china japan treaties cause crane's return washington oct 4 minister crane on leaving here had full instructions both as to the situation in manchuria and the firm establishment of the eastern bureau the object of which was to look afler the commercial rights of the united states in the east and more especially in mancburi-i where the disturbing anti-american com mercial factor is japan at the time mr crane had his interviews here the information at f*ie state depart ment was that china had compromised her differeuces with japan over the autung mukdcn railroad and in a manner that was satisfactory for the time being to the united states still mr crane's main pri vate instruction was to report on the com mercial status in manchurta while mr crane wan en route to the pa cific there were notable developments in japan and these too occurred after the president's reiteration tnat there was the most acceptable relation between japan and the united states refore mr crane reached the coast came the news that japan and china had en tered upon two new treaties one of which gave japan a controlling interest in cer tain manchurinn mines and the other prac tically made japan the arbitrator of any further extension in manchuria p>oth of th*ie treaties were in direct vio lation of the principle of the open door and the portsmouth treaty if they were not followed by supplementary treaties or writ ten understandings which made clear ja pan's attitude on the open door the comment at the state department on the chine-japan treaties was that they were wholly indefensible and demanded ex planation it is the opinion here that it would be useless for mr crane to proceed to china without new instructions which obviously ought not to be telegraphed or cabled i'ersoual instructions it is true might easily be given by president Taft on the coast but there are certain powers and special instructions which are only effective under the seal of the department lu order to hi . ach additional powers as are needed and the beuetit of inslruc tions from secretary of state knox it was necessary for mr crane to come here certainly in the opinion of state depart ment officials the new moves of japan in manchuria were regarded as of the high est importance and were to be handled by mr crane 465,000 in gifts to yale

historic air trip swoops down over fighting vessels of half a dozen na tions just to give jackies better view of machine battles through treacherous air currents far above the streets of manhattan while thousands gaze in awe daring aviator gives matter of-fact account of sensa tional trip from governor's island past grant's tomb l y e'w york oct 4 after wilbur wright had made his sensa /\ j tional flight he was greeted by a crowd of eager questioners \ \ at first he replied to all with his whimsical smile and the two \. words flying some finally the story of his trip up the hudson and around grant's tomb was wormed out of him a sentence at a time it came in sections an answer to a question here a volunteered statement or impression there wright never told a story in his life and probably never will but that takes nothing from the interest of his account did you see many people was one of the first questions i saw a few on the piers on the tops of buildings and a few on the hillsides then there was a moment's silence he volunteered they looked like ants you went higher than the skyscrapers oh no i didn't he answered with assurance i kept away from the skyscrapers i tried to average about 200 feet about the height of an average new york building but no skyscrapers my brother flies high again the half smile and again the brotherly spirit of orville and wilbur showed itself have any trouble with the winds well drawled the human bird when i was off twenty-third street i knew there was something doing perhaps it was the metropoli tan tower and the flatiron sending greetings apyway the air was boiling ad.f 1 - i dipped down a little where the going was steadier didvou really circle grant's tomb i went in toward the shore when off fhe tomb but the wind cur rents were contrary and i decided to stay over the river what warship did you use as turning point i'm sure i don't know which one it was laughed wright i was busy with a ship of my own could the foreign ships have punctured you with their guns when i saw the jackies tumbling up on deck and heard their cheers arising i swooped down many feet to give them a better view said wright they could have reacted me then i suppose with their rapid-fire guns but they did not if there had been any danger of it i could have remained much higher very much higher by this time the official time had been figured and there was specu lation as to the reason for the quick trip back i bucked the wind going up the river said wright coming back i played the bird and did not run my motor at full force i could have made the return trip much faster had speed been particularly desired wilbur wright birdlike machine startles foreign navai officers as it swoops past new york oct 4 wilbur wright this morning accomplished the most spec tacular aeroplaue flight in america's his tory when he glided over governor's island passed the battery up the hudson river to a point a mile above grant's tomb and returned to a sand pile within three feet of his starting point without a single voluntary flatter his wonderful flight threw nlilinpresslble manhattan into a flutter and startled the nations of eu rope through the officers of the warship over which he passed when he was starting this afternoon to win the prize of 1,300 offered by the new york american for hurdling the east hiver bridges there caine an accident which ended the life of the victorious airship in a jiffy and narrowly escaped seriously injuring the bird inao himself the aeroplane was on the mono rail oiled and keyed and rady to start on what wright hoped would be an absolutely record-breaking flight of an hour the conditions he declared were ideal his audience the greatest and his desire most keen wright stood behind the machine trying to start the propellers his mechanician was pumping oil into the refractory en gine the motor missed fire repeatedly the propellers stuck bucked and grumbled aviator just misses death suddenly there was a slight explosion a flare-back they call it a chunk of brass flew out of the engine tore a jagged bole in the canvas top of the upper bi plane nii'i'owly missed the head of tlje viator and buried itself ln the sand wright shrugged his shoulders and threw up his arms with such significance that the women in the crowded newspaper pen who knew least about mechanics un derstood that the trial was all over then he smiled that weird philosophical smile that comes out of the side of his face and he kept on smiling the hudson-fulton aeroplane flight is over gentlemen he announced we are forced to miss the best weather conditions i have ever encountered disappointed as was the crowd they cheered the spirit of the man who wag able to smile ill the face of such adversity lle membei'iiig thjfcflight of the morning they cheered and jfl members of the aeronautic committee a^b-ed him that he bad earned and would receive the full con mmm tract price said to be 10.000 for the fly ing demonstrations he gave new york last weduesduy and this morning figures of wright's record here are the figures of wright's record breaking flight up the hudson u:o3 o'clock sailed governor's island turned grant's tomb 10:13:30 landed governor's island 10:116:30 time in the air 33 minutes and 33 sec onds distance almost 20 miles time going 20 minutes 30 stconds time returning 13 minutes 3 seconds then may be listed the matters in which the flight was unique superior record breaking iu the first place more people saw parts of the flight than ever before witnessed an aeroplane feat thanks to the skyscrapers and the deep canyons they make across manhattan island the aviator encountered more dangerous wind currents than any a biplane had ever be fore successfully contended against offi cials of half dozen nations including great britain france and germany watched the flight from the decks of their battleships and cruisers and perhaps wondered what would huppen to them if wilbur wright of dayton 0 should suddenly take it into his head to drop dynamite shells it was the most even flight that the wright bi plane has yet attempted at least in amer ica i'm going up anyway it was blowing some when wright reached governor's island shortly before 9 o'clock this morning lie sniffed at the wind tried his handkerchief and match testa and announced i'm going up any way the motor purred the twin propellors swished through the air and the aeroplane glided down the rail dipped as it always does then rose into the air with a gradual upward glide there was no circling about the island on this flight wright headed straight for the entrance to the hudson sailing a course slraighter than fulton ever could have gotten out of the urst steamboat those on the battery saw dm disappear in the indian summer haze further up the north river the crowds which rushed to the piers and the even grea'er crowds malsh strikes last blow to stave off verdict files new

manchuria and the firm establishment of the eastern bureau the object of which was to look afler the commercial rights of the united states in the east and more especially in mancburi-i where the disturbing anti-american com mercial factor is japan at the time mr crane had his interviews here the information at f*ie state depart ment was that china had compromised her differeuces with japan over the autung mukdcn railroad and in a manner that was satisfactory for the time being to the united states still mr crane's main pri vate instruction was to report on the com mercial status in manchurta while mr crane wan en route to the pa cific there were notable developments in japan and these too occurred after the president's reiteration tnat there was the most acceptable relation between japan and the united states refore mr crane reached the coast came the news that japan and china had en tered upon two new treaties one of which gave japan a controlling interest in cer tain manchurinn mines and the other prac tically made japan the arbitrator of any further extension in manchuria p>oth of th*ie treaties were in direct vio lation of the principle of the open door and the portsmouth treaty if they were not followed by supplementary treaties or writ ten understandings which made clear ja pan's attitude on the open door the comment at the state department on the chine-japan treaties was that they were wholly indefensible and demanded ex planation it is the opinion here that it would be useless for mr crane to proceed to china without new instructions which obviously ought not to be telegraphed or cabled i'ersoual instructions it is true might easily be given by president Taft on the coast but there are certain powers and special instructions which are only effective under the seal of the department lu order to hi . ach additional powers as are needed and the beuetit of inslruc tions from secretary of state knox it was necessary for mr crane to come
