SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec s.
Turu Horsl, envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary from Japan to
the United States, was a passenger
from the Orient on the steamship City
of Pekin. He left tonight for Wash
ington, carrying with him important
instructions in reference to the Ha-
waiian treaty of annexation, which
will be considered by the United States
senate.
Several months ago he hurriedly left
Washington for Japan. He left just
after the publication Of his corre-
spondence with Secretary Sherman
with reference to the Hawaiian ques-
ton. Dispatches from Washington de-
clared that he was angry with Sher-
man and the administration for their
advocacy of annexation.

PICTURES SENT OVER A TELEGRAPH WIRE.
Wonder Success by a ST.. Fault Inven

Tests were made yesterday over the
wires of the Northern Pacific railroad
system of new device off local inven-
tion for the electrical reproduction of
pictures at a distance.
That the tests were successful is
shown by the work of the machines
reproduced in the columns of the
G o e herewith, these pictures have
ing been reproduced with current
traversing the greater part Of North
ern Minnesota.
For two years, Ernest A. Hummel, a
jeweler with Haman GtaCoi, of this city,
has been at work upon q mechanism

trcity and he has now,f lit was the
verdict of all who sawethei testes at the

day, accomplished his purpose.
Hereafter the transmission of pictures
will be as practicable as ffle transmits
sion of written or spoken words, and the
readers of the G o b e, perchance, be
presented with the next Wilkes Booth

in what part of the world that may oc-
cur. 1t is assumed that newspapers at
first, at least, will be the=ehief patrons
of the new invention, although a field
for real, and perhaps greater, utility to
mankind will be found in Its facilitation

1t was about IL o'clock yesterday
morning when Mr.. Hummel got his eX-
perimental machine connected to the
regular business wires of the road,
which are less crowded Sunday
than on other days of the week, and it
was two minutes after II when the
pointer began it's course over the shell

the Chicago murderer, as a part of an
electric circuit which embraced, be-
side the wire from st. Paul TO Staples

alent to an extra forty miles OF wire.
So through this circuit of 800 miles, or
its equivalent, the mechanism was set
to work. 1t was just sixteen minutes
later when the point reached the cor
ner Of the plate diagonally opposite its
starting point, and the features of the
sausage maker were reproduced at the
other end of the long wire perfectly.
The test was witnessed by a number
of officials of the Northern Pacific,
electricians, and others.

BERLIN, Dec. 5.-When the German
reinforcements consisting of four conf
panies of marines, numbering 23 officers
and 1,200 men, and company of naval
artillery, numbering 200 men, arrive at
Kiao-Chau bay, for which point, as al

they will bring the total German force

Germany has ever sent beyond Euro

The admiralty denies that other Euro
pean squadrons have entered the har
bor at Kiao-Chau to watch Germany's
proceedings, and it is believed that Ad-
miral Won Diederich would protest Wig
orously against such an attempt. The
Kolnische Zeitung regards the expedi
ton as having a twofold aim; first, to
obtain missionary reparation; and, sec
ond, to obtain the cession Of Kiao-Chau
as payment for past services rendered
China by Germany in connection with
the conclusion of peace with Japan.

seen that most careful adjustment of
clock work is necessary for harmonious
working to the instruments.
While the carriage is propelled by the
electric motor, the clock-work is nee
essary to control its velocity, and
this is accomplished with the assist
ance, in addition to the ordinary-look-
ing system of cogs, of a number Of
whirling fans not unlike the governor

Three weeks ago yesterday prelim
mary tests were had of the device, and
the pictures herewith reproduced were
then taken. At this time the chief diff
ficulty apparent was the slowness of
the apparatus, it requiring thirty-eight
minutes for the pointer to traverse the
inscribed area.
So Inventor Hummel took his contri-
vance back home, and by dint of de-
voting his spare time to it, and the

chanical parts Of the machine to a

and the triple series of ratchets, which,

After the machine is connected with
the electric circuit, and the platinum
