AN OCEAN
Tesla Has an Electrical One-Pro-
poses to Supply Paris
EXPOSITION.

New York, Nov. 14.-Now Nikola Tesla
declares that he intends to run the ma
chinery of the Paris exposition with cleo
trio power sent instantly across the ocean
from Niagara falls.
This astonishing statement was made
by him Saturday.
lie has just patented his machine for
transmitting electricity with wires. He
says he can shoot thousands of millions
of volts around and through the globe
without metallic conductors.
IT is like a tale from the Arabian
Night y says the Electrical Review, and
If successful, it will open up unlimited re-
sources Of practically c~ostless power"
If successful it means that from the
great falls of Niagara, of the Yellowstone,
of Alaska and of the canyons of Colorado
power of millions of volts can be
delivered in New York, London, Paris,
st. Petersburg and Picking in a second of
time. Mountains, rivers and oceans would
thus be annihilated
Tesla says his machinery works perfect
~; that he has demonstrated the seeming
miracle beyond all possibility of failure.
Il can supply the Paris exhibition with
Niagara's power" he said Saturday. II
shall send il across the ocean without a
wire. My invention is the crowning sue
cess OF long years of thought and labor"

APPEAL.
Said He Received Some Assurance
from European Powers.

London, Nov. IA correspondent had
an opportunity to talk with u well-known
public man who has just returned from
Paris, where he was enabled to gather
much information and to form an impair
tial opinion as To the merits of the Spanish
and American contentious. He had met
and had c0nversed Familiarity with both
the American and the Spanish members of
the peace commission. The situation"
said he, seemed to me more serious a
week ago than it does nOW,a although | still
think it possible that the concerns which
center at Paris ma yet menace the peace
of the world. Sagasta, of course, for the
moment thinks that Spain can make a
stand against the United States in the
event Of hostiiities being reopened, but
he does not rely on the force of Spanish
arms.
Although Premier Sagasta may posi-
bly, be speaking the truth when he says
he is not about to send a note Of protest
to the European powers, yet it is a known
fact that about a month ago he unofficial
" consulted the representatives at Mad
rid of Austria, Russia and France. From
them he gathered that Spain would have
at least the moral support of those three
powers in refusing 30 transfer the Philip
pines to the United States. Once more,
however, England has c~heckmated the
Spanish game. The recent display of
Great Britaip's sea strength was meant
to impose on the powers a sense of Eng
lands might, in view of the proposed con-
certed action, rather than merely to over
awe France in respect to the FashOda dis
pute. The desired purpose it signally ac-
complished."

POPE AND KAISER.
Formers Action Practically Makes
Valueless the Sultan's Gift
to the Kaiser.

Berlin, Nov. 14.-The Pope has decided
son to canonize Catherine Emmerich, a
German nun who lived in the Seventeenth
century. She wrote a book setting forth
III detail her vision, in which she said the
exact site of the home of st. John and the
Virgin Mary, near Ephesus, had been
pointed out to her. The superior of the
College OF the Propaganda at Smyrna,
following the directions contained i'll
Catherine Emmerich's book, a few years
ago discovered the ruins of a house which
eyer since has been venerated by many
roman Catholics as the actual abode of
the virgin after the crUcifXion of her Son.
AS to the spot in Jerusalem recently
gwen by the Sultan to Emperor William
and by the latter given to the Pope to be
held IN trust for the Roman Catholics,
traditions have been at variance. By
some this has been held to have been the
dwelling place of the Virgin for the three
years OF Christ's ministry. BY others it
has been maintained that it was to the
Jerusalem house that st. John conducted
Mary after Christ committed her to his
care. In the eyes {. this latter section,
therefore, the Ephesian location was not
authentic, and German Catholics who
hold that view of the matter are much dis
turbed. They feel that the papal decision
to Canonize Catherine Emmerich virtually
brands the Jerusalem site as valueless.
The Pope has already appointed a postu-
lator tor Catherine Emmerich's canOniza-
tiOO.
