Should Justice Field live until the l6th
day of next August, and the present
state of his health indicates that he will
live much longer. he will have served
longer on the bench of the U. S. Su-
preme Court than any other man ever
did. This it has been his ambition to
do, and it has kept MIN at work some
years after he was eligible to retirement
on full pay. When that date has been
passed he expects to retire.

ADELEGATE MEETING
Strikers Hold an Important Ses-
sion at Montgomery, w. Va.
An ADDRESS BY ORGANIZER MAHON.
Resolutions Passed Demanding 80 Cent
Rate and Check weighman on Each
Tipple-Agree to Rema' n Idle Until
Universal Scale Is Adopted.

Charleston, w. va. Aug. IA dele
gate meeting OF miners has been held
at Montgomery, 25 miles east Of here
There We're 30 delegates present, and 20
mines were represented. The meeting
was addressed by w. d. Mahon Of De-
troit, who is in charge Of the work Of
organizing miners in West Virginia,
Chris Evans, one Of his assistants, and
number Of local leaders.
Resolutions were passed demanding
a 80 cent rate and a check weighman on
each tipple. An agreement to quit work
and remain idle till a scale of prices
was agreed upon for coal diggers OF all
states was also adopted
Referring to the injunction issued by
Judge Mason, Mr. Mahon said he would
pay no attention to it. He had been
accustomed to being enjoined in various
strikes for the last fiveiyears He had
never paid any attention to injunctions
and had never been arrested. He knew
his rights as an American citizen. and
he proposed to maintain them. He has
been teaching his men their rights and
was urging them to fight for them He
had two grandfathers in the Revolu-
tionary war, and the only legacy they
had left him was the liberty of speech
and action. No petty Judge should de-
prive him of the liberty purchased for
him by the blood Of his fathers.

PROTEST AGAINST TARIFF.
The First Domestic Complaint Received
From Memphis.

New York Aug. S-The first domestic
protest received by the board of United
States general appraisers against the
operation of the new tariff law comes
from Memphis, which is officially known
as an immediate transportation" port
of entry. The protest is filed by Nor
riss Bros. of Memphis, and 1t relates to
a single piece of marble statuary from
Carrara, which under the old law would
have come in duty free.
The import arrived on the Sarnia July
IS and was shipped in bond to Memphis
where final entry was made. 1t was In
transit therefore when the new law be-
came operative, but upon arrival at
Memphis on July &C. was marked by
the collector for entry under the new
law.
The contention of Morriss Bros is
that the statuary reached this country
before the law was passed. but the
Memphis collector holds that a manda-
tory clause in the law compelled him to
levy duty on all dutiable goods pre-
viously entered without payment Of
duty"

The gold seekers act as If there were

Asked If there were many claims left
in Klondike, Mr.. Coolidge replied.
There is none. They have all beer

probably the hardest task II has ever

WIRELESS rEleeRAPAY.
wiiiiam A. Eddy says That the PrcjeC,
Is Feasible.

New York. Aug. S.-William A. Eddy
says that his experiments in atmos-
pheric electricity for the purpose of tel
esraphlng without wires We're begun by
him in July last at Bayonne. n. j.,
with two lines of kites supporting two
lines Of copper wire separated By dis
tance Of several hundred feet.
Marconi Of Italy has announced that
the power to telegraph without wires
depends 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 tel
egraphing without wire connection for
a distance Of 10 miles.
Mr. Eddy believes that with kite sup
ported wires messages can be sent from
New York to Chicago by means Of three
or four intermediate kite stations. each
kite station having it's wire projected
to height Of 1900 or 1000 feet
He says he has been defeated by light
winds. but that the experiment Of tel
egraphing without wires will be car
ried out as soon as possible. He made
repeated attempts on Saturday last to
carry upward a duplicate line of wire
with two lines Of kites. but the wind

could be established in the air.
Marconi heretofore has not used kites,
but has supported his perpendicular
wire by other means. Mr.. Eddys OBJ
ject is to vastly increase the distance
telegraphed by extending Marconi's per-
pendicular wire TO a great height and
substituting atmospheric electricity Of
tremendous tension for the artificial
electricity of a coil or oscillator.
