MESSAGES WITHOUT WIRES.
Inventor Marconi Talks Of His New
Telegraph.

New York, Aug. A special to the
World from London says: Marconi,
inventor of the wireless telegraph, :"
has just reached Soudan, where a trial
of the invention will be made. In an
interview Marconi said: 'The greatest
distance which we have been able to
transmit messages by telegraph with
out wires is 10 miles, but that by no
means is the limit of the instruments.
It simply signifies that existing appli-
ances are not perfect. At Spezzia I
sent messages without wires from the
San Bartholomew arsenal to the warship
San MARITIME, IL miles out in the har-
Dor without difficulty, and with abso-
lutte accuracy. It was done before the
royal commission. Official experiments
will be renewed when I return to Italy
in September. I have successfully ex-
perimented at the Italian ministry of
marine and at the Quirnai before the
king and queen.''

RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH.
Governor Atknson's Advice to thu
Miners Committee.

Miners Committee.
Charleston, w. Va, Aug. 5.-Gov-
ernor Atkinson has written to Messrs.
Gompers, Sovereign and Ratchford, a
committe on behalf of the striking
miners who called on him to inquire
concerning the injunction against them.
They asked what were their rights in
connection with addressing the miners.
The governor reminds them that his
office is executive, and that he cannot
interfere with the action of the courts,
but, he goes on to say, in his opinion
there is the utmost freedom allowed in
discussion in public places on any SUBJ
ject, the only restrictions being that
they must not trespass upon the prop
erty of others, nor incite to riot or un-
lawful violence. He assures the men
that he will protect all citizens in the
exercise of rights of free speech, warn
ing them at the same time that if they
abuse that right by interfering with
the rights or property of'others, he will
just as energetically use the power of
the state to repress all lawlessness and
preserve the peace.

HoROrS of the jersey CITY Touruu
ment Carried OFF by EGan Over
the Canadian.

TRENTON, n. J.. Jan S.-Amos Ru-
sic. the famous twirler of the New
Tork Base Ball club, today brought
suit in the United States circuit court
against the National Exhibition COM
rany, Of New Jersey, the corporate
title of the club, to have set aside as
illegal his reservation by the club as A
member of its team for 1897. In the
bill Rusie sets out the clause in the
constitution of the National league re-
garding the reservation of players bv
clubs. He says he played with the
New York club during the season Of
1885 at a salary of $4,000 and was re-
served for the season of 1896 For this
he was offered only 81, 400 which he re-
fused. He now seeks to have the or
lginaI contract set aside. so far as it
provides for his reservation as a PLAYER
on the New York team, on the ground
that the contract is void because the
club did not agree to pay him $4,000
for 1896, and, secondly, because it has
not paid him one cent for his services
in 1896.
He also makes the point that the
New York club is seeking to depriye
him Of an opportunity to make living
in his chosen calling, and maintains
that the provision for reserving ball
players by teams for following seasons
IS against public policy, and ought
therefore to be declared null and void.
He asks for a decree, so made that the
National league will be restricted from
imposing any penalty against any club
that may hereafter engage him.

ENGLAND'S NEW PRIMATE.
Enthroned at Canterbury With the
Usual Stately Ceremonies.

Usual stately Ceremonies.
CANTERBURY, Jan. S.-The Rt
Hon. and most Rev. Frederick Temple,
ID. D., was enthroned today at the ca
thedral here, as archbishop of Canter-
bury and primate of all England The
approaches to the cathedral were
thronged and the old edifice was filled
With spectators soon after the doors
were opened. The archbishop was at
tired in full archiepiscopal robes, his
long scarlet train being borne by two
boys, Q1ng'S scholars of the cathedral
school, They wore, according to i'm
memorial custom, surplices of pure
white linen, yellow sandals and little
purple caps. The order of installation
was read in Latin, and the archbishop
was conducted to the marble chair
accompanied by the archdeacons of
Canterbury, the venerable Benjamin
F. Smith, M. A, and the Rt Rev
George r. Eden, D. d., attended by
the dean of Canterbury, the Rev. F.
w. Farrar, and the vice dean. The
marble chair, known as the patriar-
chial throne, is said to have been used
by st. Augustine, and In it, during
many centuries the archbishops Of Can
terbury have been enthroned
Later in the afternoon, the dean and
chapter entertained the new archbishop
of Canterbury and a numerous COM
pany at luncheon In the library of the
cathedral The city was thronged with
sightseers.
There was dramatic incident as the
archbishop was traversing the nave at
the end of the procession A voice
shouted loudly: The whole proceed
ingS are a fraud, III
The interruption came from an elder
ly gentleman of clerical appearance. He
was speedily and forcibly elected, amid
considerable excitement. The lspecta-
tors at first thought that the disturber
was the Rev. Mr.. Brown John, the
clergyman who protested against the
confirmation Of the archbishop In the
church of St Mary lie Bow, London,
on Dec %, claiming Intellectually that
the archbishop should not be confirmed,
as ne was believer in Darwin"s
theory of evolution. But it developed
that the name of the interruptor today
is Greenwood, and he is not a clergy
man.
