During a recent visit to the Isle of
Wight Lord Kelvin became so much in
terested in the apparatus there for wire
less telegraphy that he sent off three
messages. one to Sir George Stokes at
Cambridge, a second to his own assist
ant at Glasgow and a third to Lord
Rayleigh and Mr.. Preece in London.
These were transmitted by the Marconi
system from the island to Bournemouth
ON the mainland. a distance of is miles,
and then were repeated to their several
destinations by wire. Although the
Marconi apparatus is being used only
sxpeiimentally the distinguished scien-
list insisted ON paying for these messages
u the usual commercial rate.

INFANTRY TACTICS.

We give this week our first install
ment Of the United States infantry
tactics. These will be of the greatest
interest and value to our readers. There
is everywhere a great demand for books
OF military instruction, and these cannot
be obtained, because the supply of the
Government Printing Office was ex-
hausted weeks ago. The publication in
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE is the only way
in which they can be obtained. Even
where young men have no idea of going
to war the publication is valuable,
owing to its need for public schools
where military instruction is desired.
Then. too, the setting-up drill, which we
give in full this week, is the best posi-
BILE system of gymnastic instruction,
which every boy should be taught, and
required to practice.

An EXTINCT RACE.

The description Of the Rangers crew
in the story Of Paul Jones suggests the
picturesque race of sailors have, within
the memory Of men yet Of middle age,
passed utterly away, disappearing from
the face Of the sea. They are, or rather
were, the whalemen Of New England
and New York. In its zenith, say, from
1920 to 1860, the American whale
fishery employed not less than 700 ships
and about $4,000 seamen. In New
England the principal whaling ports
were New Bedford, Nantucket, New
London, and Provincetown in New
York, Sag Harbor, Greenpoint, Hudson,
and Newburg. Other ports contributed
scattering ships, but the ports named
were the great centers Of the industry,
and the fleets of Nantucket and New
Bedford embraced more than two-thirds
of the total at any time from the be-
ginning to the end of American whaling.
Prior to the Revolution no attempt
had been made to invade the Pacific
Ocean, but the Atlantic had for half a
century been secured from the Green
land coast OH the north to Desolation
Island in the Antarctic by the daring
Nimrods of the sea. At the outbreak
of the Revolutionary War the total num-
Der of vessels engaged in what was called
"blue- water whaling" was about 100
from all ports. and they gave employ
ment to about 5000 men. The fishery
being entirely stopped by the British
navy, the best Of the ships and most of
the men took to privateering, in which
they wrought havoc upon the commerce
of Great Britain. Those who did not
embark in privateering joined the Con-
tinental Navy; SO it may be safely
stated that no other class of men SO
universally gave their services to the
cause of Independence as the whalemen.
1t was then their boast, and it has been
! the pride of their descendants ever since,
that there was never Tory whaleman

WHAT HAS HE DONE WITH THEM:
More than one month ago Assistant
Secretary Davis, by single decision,
remanded to the Commissioner of Pen
sions some $4,000 appeals against the
injustice of Commissioner Lochren, who
had reduced or abolished the pensions
of the appellants. These much deserv-
ing men had confidently looked forward
to the incoming of the present Admin
istration to right the wrongs done them.
They had reason to do this. The in
justice to veterans and their depend
ent ones was leading political issue
of the campaign of 1896. The matter
of right dealing with the old soldiers
had been appealed to the people, who
decided in their favor. As soon as the
present Administration came in it was
reasonably expected that it would take
immediate steps to carry out this plain
mandate of the people. The injured
pensioners very properly appealed their
cases to the Secretary of the Interior,
that being the regular course Of pro-
cedure Thu Assistant Secretary of the
Interior, before whom all pension mat
tiers come, disposed Of these by remand
ing them to the Commissioner Of Pen
sions, who alone has the sclerical and
judicial machinery needed for the proper
handling of this vast volume of bust
ness.
The ewes of all friends of the veterans
have since been steadiastly fixed upon
him to see what steps he would take to
meet this crying emergency. A crying
it certainly was, and is, for
the men who were deprived of their
pensions or had them cut down have
suffered Individuality. In thousands of
instances their whole means of support
was taken away, or reduced to the
point. 1t brous hs them to
a condition in which humanity cried
loudly for their immediate relief
TIe weekly reports do not indicate
that the Commissioner of Pensions has
in the least awakened to the dire needs
of the emergency, and taken the steps
that are imperatively demanded by
mercy, humanity, and common justice.
Last week but 121 resiorations ap-
pear on the report of the work done by
the Pension Bureau.
We would earnestly inquire of the
Pension Commissioner what action he
has taken or proposes to take in the
matter of the $4,000 victims Of Loeb
ren's injustice. If he is going to undo
that work of monumental wrongs it is
time that he began it, before all the APP
pellants are dead.
