F0ur Minutes.
New YORK, May 1S--It took the Post
al Telegraph Co. exactly four minutes
to send message from this city to
London and back, via Chicago, San
Francisco, Vancouver, Montreal and
Canso. The distance travelled was
more than Is. 600 miles. and the feat is
expected to prove the star feature of
the national electrical exposition being

equal in the history of telegraphy,
and was regarded by Chauncey NJ.
Depew as a magnificent illustra-
ton of the progress in electrical
science. This message was penned by
the celebrated orator, and after its
flight across the continent and its re-
turn to the eastern coast and its two
swishes under the Atlantic. it was re-
ceived and rewritten by Thomas A.
Edison. It was agreed that the same
message should also fly to the ends of
civilization, and after lapse of eX-
actly so minutes it dashed back from
the office to Toxic. 1t therefore took
less than an hour for it to whiz to

Egypt and the Indias, into the orient,

IRELAND A BANKRUPT.

Financial Difficulties.
New YORK, May 1s.-A Journal spe-

bishop Ireland, who three years ago
was worth 1880, 900, is almost bank
rupt- He admitted that he had been
caught on a large amount of real es-
tate at the end of the boom, and that
he had bought property at figures
which no one else would pay. In no
way will the church be affected di-
rectly, but indirectly it means a loss to
the church of a magnificent cathedral
or we'll endowed school, or both 1t
has been Ireland's life dream to be
able to erect with his own funds and
present to the church a cathedral equal
to. if not greater, than any in the
United States Up to the time of the
panic of 1898 everything appeared IA
vorable to the realization of his dream.
Since then his hopes have received a
severe shock with the impairment of
his fortunes. yet if there is anything
to be saved of the estate it will be
