A New Method of TeleRraphinc.

A mode of telegraphing was tried by the
military authorities of Belgium. 1t is a
combination of the electric and optic tele-
graph. The optic station is made up Of a
balloon held At any height above ground.
Inside of the boat f1oated by the balloon,
or on the bottom of the boat, six electric
lamps were attached, which were con-
nected with an electric battery on the
ground by means Of wires running along
the rope which held the balloon captive
On the ground there was a Morse tele-
graphic apparatus. An experienced
operator spelled message, the characters
of which are registered On common
Morse apparatus by shorter and longer
strokes upon q running band OF paper
The shorter or longer the line is on paper
the shorter or longer is the time CORE
spending TO il during which the electric
current is working.
Instead OF marking tine on paper. the
apparatus used at the experiments made
at Antwerp keeps the six lamps attached
to the balloon blazing in bright light
Any man understanding the Morse alpha
bet is able TO read the characters given
by the successive flashes OF light Of the
electric lamps. A number Of messages
were thus spelled and correctly read by
posts at distances of several miles. TIE
balloon was only some 300 feet above
ground The higher il is allowed to
ascend the greater is the distance 81 which
its characters can &c seen and understood.

THE LEAGUE SESSIONS ENDED.
The Kansas City Question Not Decided
Some Few Changes.

New YORK, March Sat this evening"
meeting of the National Base Ball league
the sessions were concluded The board OF
arbitration, which went into secret session
shortly before noon, finished its work at
$3.50 o'clock. The Kansas City club ques-
ton was the first thing considered. A long
debate ensued over the problem, whether
the association club should be granted an
exclusive franchise or not. The associa-
ton delegates, Barney, Phelps and Will
liams, were all for their club, while
Spaulding, Rogers and Reach, for the
league, refused to vote. The matter was
left undecided.
The rule committee then entered into a
conference with committee from the Ma
tional Reporters association comprising
Messrs. Chadwick, Stackhouse, milford,
Mandego and Morse. The audience con-
tinued over an hour, after which the re-
porters withdrew and the committee be-
gan the work of revising the rules. The
result was announced at ) p. IN. The rule
for scoring bases stolen was modified some
what. Under the head of base hits, as an
amendment to section 3, rule 80, the fol-
lowing was accepted: "That when a PLAYER
reaches first base through an error of iudg-
ment, such as two fielders allowing the
ball to drop between them, the batter
shall not be credited with n
base hit or the fielder charged with
an error, but it shall be scored as an unac-
cepted chance of the batter, shall be
charged with a time at the bat.
Other amendments to rule 60, reads as
follows: That in all cases when base
runner is retired by being hit by a batted
ball, the batsman shall be credited with q
base hit
New sectian No = IN rule tx SoyS. An
earned run shall be scored every time a
player reaches home base unaided by err
rors, before chances have been offered to
retire the side of three men, but bases
on balls through summarized as errors,
shall be credited as factors in earned runs
In rule &c, new section to No was in
serted TO read that the number of men
struck out shall be included in the sum-
mary.
Monday the American association will
meet at Brooklyn and prepare its schedule
for the coming season.

Epitome Of American History.

When Mr.. Sumner introduced the i'm
mortal resolution that nothing commem-
orative of civil strife be introduced into
the national buildings and monuments,
although the times were not ripe for the
great mans thought, he worked his Will
in the end by the force of public opinion.
Nothing of this kind would be tolerated in
the Capitol now, even, as the case is,
where it would be real boon to the artists
if they could 60 on and put few battles
and sieges in the frieZe of the rotunda. 1t
was determined to make this frieZe an
epitome of American history, as far as
could be, but it was not anticipated
that the history would give out before the
frieze got round. But such Is the case.
The artists started off famously, used
up all about Columbus, the early history
of the colonies, the revolution, the scrin-
mage Of 1912, and then began on the
Mexican war. But the space was large,
and eking out the history as they could,
there wasn't enough to so round. AT last
the point was reached where the civil war
began, and there was great stretch OF
wall before the other end of the frieZe
could be ''jined." They had used up all
the history they could use, and they
couldn't make any more-and a united
country would not permit family quarrel
to be perpetuated-so there stands the
workmen's scaffold, way up against the
ceiling of the rotunda, suggesting the
pleasing fiction that the work is still going
on. The artists and the architect con-
cluded it would look better to let the scat
fold stay, so that people wouldn't poke
fun at them for the awkward predicament
in which the paucity of national history
has left them, than to take it down and
puzzle folks by the sight of an unfinished
frieze upon which work had been stopped.

STILL JUBILATlNG.
Pratt Happy to the Extreme Over Her
County Seat Victory.

Special Dispatch TO the Daily Eagle.
PRATT, March 3.-The people of Pratt
county are still jubilating over the results
of the county seat election held Wednes
day. The contest has lasted for nine
years, and at different times the feeling
was very strong. The election held two
years ago resulted in a victory for Pratt at
the polls, but an injunction was obtained
by Iuka and Saratoga parties restraining
the county commissioners from c2Tvass-
ing the vote, and the matter thuSstayed
in the courts until last December, when
the case was dismissed. This left the coast
clear for new election and petitions were at
once circulated calling it. Affairs in Pratt
county had undergone great change
since the election two years ago. The
Wichita & Western railroad had been
built through the county-running
through Pratt and missing Iuka. So had
the Rock Island, and it missed Saratoga as
well. Then this road had made Pratt the
end of a division, has built a brick round
house and two depots, and made this an
important point along its line. Two years
ago Saratoga township cast over 500 votes,
but at the election last week the total
vote in the township was 60.
The reason for this is that
for more than a year business men have
been coming to Pratt from Saratoga, and
during that time over hundred buildings
have been moved to Pratt. Pratt's rapid
business growth has absorbed all opposi-
ton, and buildings are being brought here
from Iuka at the rate of three day since
the election. The two banks at Iuka closed
their doors the day after the election and
have made arrangements to have their
paper collected here.
The people rejoice that the long contest
is at an end.

IN HONOR OF THE TREATY.
The Canadian Club of New York Gives a
Banquet to the Commissioners

NEW YORK, March 3-The Canadian
club of this city gave dinner at the Hotel
| Brunswick tonight to mark the compile.
ton of the labors of the British fish COM
missioners. Covers were laid for near 200
Erastus Wiman, president of the
club, presided. On his right
sat Mayor Hewitt and on his left
were the members of the fisheries COM
mission-the Rt. Hon. Joseph Chamber
lain, Sir Lionel Sackville West and their
associates. Among the guests were iona
than a. Lane, president of the Boston
merchants association: G. S Smith. presi-
dent of the New York chamber of COM
merce; Ex-Governor d. H. Chamberlain,
Gait, George q. Williams, president OF the
Chemical bank: c. n. Jordan, president,
and G. j. Canda, vice president of the
Western national bank and ex-Postmaster
General James
Letters of regret were received from Sec
rotary Bayard and Sir Charles Topper and
read Secretary Bayard in his letter saws.
Il hope the treaty now pending for ratfi-
cation may be Thoroughly comprehended on
both sides of the border and be tried upon
its merits. As its arrangements come to
be understood the more it will be ap-
proved by all fair minded and reason
able men as an honorable, prac-
llCdl SeIJlelGenb OF controversy
that for generations has baffled adj
Justment and threatened the friendly
status of two neighboring states who have
no just cause to be other than steadfast
friends. The treaty has been framed in a
spirit of just and mutual Cancellation and
advantage, and earnestly hope that the
blindness of partisanship or the influence
OF local selfishness or ignorance may not
be suffered to deprive the two countries of
its great benefits. It's defeat would be a
great public calamity which | hope patri-
otism may arrest"
President Wiman made the opening
speech. He said that the events which
were COMMUNICATED by the banquet pos
sessed peculiar interest and significance
Two leading nations of the earth were
setting to work TO settle a long standing
difference by arbitration The nations
which were parties to the difference were
OF the same lineage and had the same lit
erature, language and laws That a long
standing difference existed between them
was a circumstance greatly to be deplored
ana hence this movement to adjust it in
terested the whole world Canadians, de-
spite their kind treatment by the people of
the United States, had become impressed
with the idea that he Americans were not
TO be driven into anything To attempt
the policy OF pressure with this people was
amost serious. most fatal error Il was
true that government could not Weld
valuable rights without due consideration.
