ELECTRICITYS NEW TRIUMPH.
A Practical Experience In Telegraphing
and Telephoning Without Wires.

A Practical Experience In Telegraphing
and TeIephoning Without Wires.
Genuine progress is being made to-
ward the next great electrical triumph
-telegIaphing and telephoning without
wires. The latest results of English ex-
periments were described in a lecture
before the Society of Arts on Thursday
by W. II. Preece. A copper wire half
mile long was hung on poles on the coast
near Cardiff, the earth completing the
circuit. Six hundred yards away an
other wire 900 yards long and parallel
with the original line was buried in the
sand at the low water mark. More than
three miles off on Flat Holme island
another wire, also 600 yards and par
allel, was laid down. An alternating
current, controlled by Morse key, was
sent through the first wire. The signals
We're reproduced in the wire on the is
lana and read by pair of telephones.
Messages were easily sent. Similar ex-
periments at 81 miles were partly sue
cessful. The human voice was easily
transmitted by the same means 1 "a
miles.
Preece's critics contend that the re-
suits were due to conduction through
the earth. He maintains that the re-
suits were due to electromagnetic in
duction OF the rapidly alternating cur
rent in the primary circuit, throwing
the surrounding ether into oscillations,
and the energy was radiated in electric
waves. These waves, he says, spread
out like waves of light, and if they fall
on conductors properly placed and SYM
pathetically prepared are reconverted
into an alternate current in the second
ary circuit. Enthusiasts on the subject
argue that we are fast getting on the
track of the secret which, when secured,
will enable us to communicate with
other planetS.-

Doubtless the Christian Endeavorers
of Colorado know their own business
best. They live in a queer State. Under
other circumstances we should say that
their resolution 10 go Into politics" was
a singularly Inappropriate and untimely
One.-PrOvidence Journal.
The Providence Journal continues to
dream of politics with the gsiety and

A ballot girl is a new term, and must
refer TO the Anna Dickinson type of

First time we had heard it.
The Prohibition party down in Rhode

spend $500 in the pending political cam
paign in that State. That isn't fieabite
to what is going to be put out by their
opponents. They might as we'll save
their money and give 1t TO the poor.-

MIR, Wetmore'S Critics.

There seems to be considerable anxiety
in some quarters, that is, with the DEM
ocratic and Prohibition press. lest the
welfare of the state of Rhode Island be
endangered by the election of New
Yorker" as United States Senator.
Among the solicitous ones is the West
erly Tribune, which deplores the alleged
going of the Republican party to NV
Such filings al Ex-Governor WetmOre are
not only unbecoming, but senseless In the
extreme. Mr.. WetmOre has served as
the Governor of Rhode Island with abil-
ity and dignity. While serving in that
capacity, he was, as he is at the present
time, beyond dispute a bona td- ctiz-n of
our state. His critics but display the weak
ness of their own cause when they stoop
to such petty and ridiculous argumen
a gainst candidate for high and honor
able office. True, Mr.. WetmOre is not a
native of Rhode Island, for which fact
be can hardly be blamed. If we are not
mistaken, the gifted editor of the Trlb-
une himself was not born in this state,
but is an adopted citizen. Then again, it
is rumored that Hon. Henry B. Metcalf,
the Prohibition candidate for Governor
this spring, is by birth a Massachusetts
man. But this in no wise initiates
against their claim to be good and true
citizens Ct Rhcde Island, fully entitled to
hold any office their fellow citizens may
see 6t to bestow upon them.-Hope Val

The political campaign in Rhode Island
is now well under way and indications
point to a Republican victory. The Dem
ocrats have "let up" somewhat on the

and con nviced that the distinguished ReD-
ublican senatorial candidate is prose
cutting his campaign work by purely leg
itimate means.-Pawtuxet Valley Times.
The Wexford Standard has the follow
ing to say of the Democratic nominee for
governor:
"We can unhesitatingly recommend
him as a conscientious, upright man, VIII"
has shown his ability in minor pos f1"n'
and one who possesses the confidence OF
all, Democrats aud Republicans alike IN

NEW YORK, September Slim
Corbett fought Peter Courtney, Of
New Jersey, six hot rounds yester-
day at the Edison Laboratory In
Orange, n. j. 1t was witnessed
by about fifteen and every move Of
the pugilists was reproduced on
MI. Edison's kinteoscope. There
was no ring, but the fight took
place in a room II feet square, the
walls of which were padded.
The rounds Naveraged about one
minute and thirty seconds each,
and there was a wait of from a
minute and a half to two minutes
between each. Courtney was full Of
business and he rushed COrbett
for all he was worth during the
first round. When it came to a
clinch Corbett would fight him
of, but a gamer man never faced
the champion. In the third round
Corbett knocked his man down
and could doubtless have put him
out If he had chosen. Every round
was fast and furious, and it was
not until the sixth round that Cor
bett put his man to sleep.

A CHARGES
To be Brought Against Archbishop
Corrlgan.

NEW YORK, Sept. S.-The World
today will say: "There is reason
to believe, despite the obstinate re-
verse of DR.. Burtswell on the sub
ject, that within the past few
months grave charges, accompa-
MED by documentary evidence,
have been brought against Arch.
bishop Corrigan, in Rome.
The New York archbishop has
been accused Of insiduous and per-
fidious opposition to the apostolic
delegate. The documents on which
the charges are based r under
stood to cover a period extending
from 1892 till some time after the
declaration of Difference to the Pope,
which Archbishop Corrigan read
last year in st. Patrick's Cathedral.
The evidence is alleged to be part
ly direct and partly i%nferential. 1t
is said that much of it had been
supplied by the archbishop's own
letters. Nothing positive appears
to have been settled in Rome as to
the course which will be adopted
in dealing with the question Of the
archbishop. tits highly probable,
| however, that in October or No
| vember next his grace will pay
Rome a visit.
