Telegraphing Without Wires.

The Washington correspondent OF the Hartford
Times sends the following To his paper In these
days OF telephone wonders. nothing. if il is with
in the range Of anything like probability. surprises
us. Information has reached here recently that
Professor LOOMS who has been in the mountain
OILS regions of West Virginia for some months
conducting series of experiments with his pro
posed aerial tregraphy. has demonstrated finally
that teegraphlng without wires is practical. His
manner pt operating which has on a previous oc-
casion been described in this correspondence has
been endorsed by many scientists. 1t consists Of
running wire up to certain altitude reaching a
particular current of electricity, which according
to Professor loomiS, be found at various
heights. At any distance away this same current
can be reached by a similar wire and commuuica
ton can be had immediately.
The apparatus necessary to bring about this
wonder Is very simple and inexpensive. 1t has
been fully ascertancd that telegraphic communi
cation docs not take place over or through the
wires used but through the ground This same
communication continues when these electric cur
rents supplied by nature are used. Professor
LOOMS has, said before telegraphed TO parties
eleven miles distant by merely sending ZIP a kite
al each end OF the distance Il certain height ut
tachcd TO which in place OF the ordinary string
was tine copper wire. When both kites, though
eleven miles distant from each other. touched the
same current, communication had between
them both, and messages We're sent from end
TO the other by means OF the ordinary Morse in
strument in connection with the instrument in
vented by Professor LOOMS This showed that
the theory on which lie had worked for many
years was Tie correct one. and that by the proper
means. such as stationary wire arranged from nat
uTal or Artificial tlnlnencrS. could be operated sue
cesstully at all times 1t is true that aerial tcc
graphy may not be much of Il certainty during VIC

How Custer Died.

New YORK. Nov. l6. Sitting Bull has been
talking with a correspondent and telling the story
OF the Custer massacre. He says: The fight was
hell, thousand devils the Squaws were like fly
ing birds the bullets like hummng bees. We
thought we were whipped. not at first but by and
by. Afterwards, no. Your people Were killed. |

with the Long Hair" as good men as ever
fought.
when they rode up. their horses were tired and
they were tired. When they got off their horses
they could not stand firmly on their feet They
swayed to and fro, my young men have told me,
like limbs of expresses in great wind Some OF
them staggered under the weight Of their guns,
but they began to fight at once But by this
time. our camps We're aroused. and there were
plenty of warriors to meet them. They fired with
needle guns. We replied with magazine guns, re
peating rides.
Sitting Bull illustrated by putting his palms to-
geher with the rapidity of ttsade
Our young men raned lead across the river and
drove the white braves back, and then they rushed
across themselves, and then they found that they
had good deal to do. The trouble was with the
soldiers; they were so exhausted, and their horses
bothered them so much they could not take good
ann
Some Of their horses broke away from them and
left them to stand, and drop. and die. All the men
fell back lighting and dropping. They could not
fire fast enough, though they kept in pretty good
order. They would fail back across a couiie and
make a fresh stand beyond on higher grounds
There were a great many brave men in that
fight, and from time to time while it was going on
they were shot down like pigs They could not
help themselves. One by one the officers fell
Where the last fight took place, where the last
stand was made the Long Hair stood like sheat
of corn with all the ears fallen around him."

"No."
''How many stood by him."
"A few"

"Did he stand up after he first fell y
He rose up on his hands and tried another shot
but his pistol would not go off"

down."
Gone man was kneeling: that was all But he
died before the Long Hair"
Sitting Bull says there were only squaws, old
men and little children in front of Reno keeping
him in his strong position on the bluff and pre-
venting him giving aid to Custer.

Thier. Addres. to France.

Theirs address to the electors OF his dis
trict, found in his papers and now first
printed, cannot fail to have great effect on
the minds of voters throughout France.
Words SO temperate and exposition SO clear
of the relations of the government to the
national sovereignty and SO positive q
declaration of the absolute necessity of the
Republic to the welfare of France would
deeply impress every intelligent person by
their mere intellectual value but when to
this is added the moral weight that the doc
ument acquires from its authorship and
from the circumstances in which it is made
public; when it is considered that in
these words the man most distinguished in
the recent history of France for political
wisdom and patriotic purpose seems to adj
dress the nation from beyond the tomb-it
is difficult to avoid the conviction that the
influence the document will exert in favor
of the republican cause will be irresistible.
In simple words this address brands the
existing government as usurpation. These
words are far more distinct as an impeach-
ment of the motives and acts of the Min
istry and the President than those for which
Gambetta has been condemned; and to be
consistent with itself in its own defence the
government should now prosecute the jour-
nails that publish THEIRS address.

The Situation I'm Bulgaria.

If the Turks could rout the Russian
army by persistent claims of victory the
troops of the Gear would long since have
been driven over or into the Danube, and
the bashi-bazouks could serenely devote
themselves to the congenial work of exter-
minating the remaining Bulgarians But it
is one thing to claim victory and another
to win it, and as the Turks have claimed
victory which they did not win the war
must proceed. Thus the hopes of peace
raised in the hearts Of the Turcophiles are
dashed to pieces against the adamantine
fact that it was the Russian and not the
Turkish army that was victorious on
the Banica LON. The lines of the
Czarewitch confronting Mehemet Ali are
intact Radetzky still holds the Shipka
Pass against the repeated assaults of Sulei-
man Pacha and Russian cavalry is operating
on the road between Sofia and Plevna.
True, Plevna is still stoutly defended by
Osman Pacha and tho Grand Duke Nicholas
cannot occupy the town, ruined. as it is,
by his bombardment. but the stern fact
asserts itself that Mehemet Ais army can
not make any impression on the Russian
left wing and thus compel the raising Of the
siege. So far, therefore, the situation in
Bulgaria, remains unchanged. 1t Is now q
question Of endurance, with the chances in
favor of the Russians.
