SEATTLE, Wash, Aug, AT n
meeting Of the chamber Of commerce in
junction with the merchants and ship
pers of this city, resolutions were
adopted demonstrating the secretary of
the treasury TO abolish the privilege
heretofore extended to Canadians of
bonding goods In shipment through
American territory, and also to rescind
the action establishing supports Of en-
try atoiDyIa. Skaguay and Circle City.
This action is taken In retaliation for
what is deemed the harsh and unjustfl-
able measure proposed by the Canadian
government to levy an import duty on
personal outfits OF miners and prospect
ors going from the United States into
the new Klondyke district.

NEW YORK. Aug, S-wm. A. Eddy
says that experiments in atmospheric
electricity for the purpose of tele-
graphing without wires were begun by
him in July last at Bayonne, N. j.,
with two lines OF kites, supporting two
lines of copper wire separated by a
distance OF several hundred feet, Mar
conf, OF Italy has announced that the
power to telegraph without wire de-
Ponds upon the perpendicular proJec-
tion OF the wires at each station, and
that with separated wires projecting to
a height OF 100 feet he succeeded in
telegraphlng without wire connection
to q distance OF twelve miles. Mr..
Eddy believes that with klte-supported
wires messages can be sent from New
York to Chicago by means of three or
four intermediate kite stations, each
kite station having its wire projected
TO a height Of 1900 or 1000 feet, He
says he has been defeated by light
winds, but the experiment OF his tele-
graphing without wires will be carried
out as soon as possible, He made re-
peated attempts on Saturday last to
carry upward a duplicate line OF wire
with the two lines of kites but the
wind declined to calm before the sec
ond line could be established In the air
MaronI heretofore has used kites but
has supported his perpendicular wires
by other means Mr. Eddy's object Is
TO vastly increase the distance tele-
graphed by extending Maroni's perpen-
dlcular wire to q great height and sub
shutting atmospheric electricity of tre-
mendous tensions for the artificial cleo
triclty of coil of osclllator

AN EARNEST INQUIRER.

The truth Of the doctrine that the
servants of God who go forth to preach
the Gospel should do so without purse
or scrip, and the moral or spiritual
power that attends the Elders who do
this, are well illustrated in the follow

gent and educated, as is plainly shown
by his letter. He has never heard a
sermon preached by Latter-day
Saint, but the silent yet eloquent tes-
timony expressed in the manner In

Brown of Chicago, and was written
for the Jubilee Prize Poem contest and
sent to Hon. II. G. Merrill of this city
for submission TO the Judges. The
poem, however. reached here too late
and was ruled out. Its author is well
known throughout the West where for
thirty years he has been engaged in
mining. In Montana he built and had
charge OF vast smelling works, and Is
the inventor, patentee and beneficiary
of some of the most valuable mining
machinery in the country. He is now
engaged in the installation of the mar
vellous roasting furnace that is being
put in Captain DeLamar's Golden
Gate property at Mercur. Mr.. Brown
has written n good deal of poetry for
amusement and his productions cover
wide range OF thought. He reached
SAT- Lake from Montana n week or so
before the Jubilee, and hearing of the
prize poem contest decided to try his
hand" He wrote his poem on the

mailed 1t to his friend Mr. Merrill,
with the result stated. Through the
