The Japanese Minister has sent his
reply to SenStor Stanford ~ regard
20 the extradition of ~ Chinaman
who uanrslerea :. o. Wiekessham and
wife III s;ohona cS1ntyt The Minis
ter isays That he Mas Dommunicated
with Mis- fGpvsrnmsnt md has been
informed that the Japanese Govern
ment cannot return the fugitive.
The Japanese Government draws a
distinction between the extradition
Of Pratt and the request for the re-.
turn OF the Chinaman. Pratt was
an American, and Japan saw nothing
improper in the return of an Ameri-
can to his own country for trial for a
crime he had committed. l3ut the
murderer sof Wickersham and his
wife is Chinaman. Japsn has
treaty with China, SO Senator Stan
ford understood from Che Japanese
Minister, which would stop the extra
ditionof the fleeing Chinaman. The
Japanese Minister said he would
write to Secretary Bayard on the
matter. 1t is not probable that Bay
ard will be able to secure the return
Of the murderer.
A practical method of establishing
telegraphic communication between
moving trains and stations has been
devised in the East. A trial test
was made q few days ago on the Stat
en- Island IN. " Railroad, and it
was decided success. The battery
was in one of the passenger cars,
with ground wire connecting with
the axle of the wheel and track.
The other wire connected with the
tin roof Of the car. The car roofs
were connected by an insulated wire.
The common electric magnet, worked
by Morse key, was used. From
the car roofs messages were trans
mitted by induction to permanent
wires on the poles along the line of
the railroad, distance of twenty five
to thirty feet. Messages were sent
to and from New York and other
points with perfect facility, while the
train was running at thirty miles an
hour.
