DECREASE IN IMPORTS.
Great Falling Off In Manufactures
From Great Britain.

washington, Dec. Interpretations of
manufactures from Great Britain into
the United States seem likely to show
an unusually small total in the year
1898. The November statement of ex-
ports from Great Britain to the United
States, which has just reached the
treasury bureau OF statistics shows in
nearly every case that the expectation
of manufactures in the eleven months
ended Nov 80 were less than in the
corresponding months of earlier years.
Imports Of manufactures in the early
part of the year 1897 We're abnormally
great and a comparison of the eleven
months OF 1898 with the corresponding
months of 1897 would in many cases be
misleading.
A comparison, however, with the cor
responding months of 1896 and 1898
shows in nearly all cases smaller inn
ports in 1898 than in either of the ear
lier years. The imports of the eleven
months Of 1896 were the smallest, with
a single exception, since 1890, and those
of 1893 were less than in the three
years which preceded it.
In nearly all classes of manufactured
articles the figures of the eleven months
of 1898 show a. reduction, as compared
with 1896 and 1898, and a very large
reduction as compared with 1897. In
jute manufactures the imports of the
eleven months of 1898 were So 2S7, 300
yards, against 143, 1884, 800 in the cores
ponding months of 1897. In wooden
yarns the drop was from $4,000 pounds
in 1897 to $500 in 1898; in worsted yarn
from GA, 800 pounds in eleven months of
1897 to 10000 in 1898; in wooden tissues
from $685. 100 yards in eleven months
of 1897 to 1,47S, 300 in eleven months of
1898, and in worsted tissues from 49,
667, 200 yards in eleven months of 1897
to 1906, 400 in the corresponding
months of 1898.

TELEGRAPHY WITHOUT WIRES
SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENTS BY
A FRENCH SCIENTIST.
Now Sending Messages Two and
Half Miles With the Atmosphere
AS Conductor.

Washington, Dec. PA report on the
French development of wireless tele-
graphy is submitted to the state de-
partment by commercial agent Atwell
at Roubaix. Mr.. AtweH quotes a French
scientific paper, giving briefly the pro-
gress of wireless electrical transmits
sion since the discovery of the Hertz
waves in 1889.
Practical work in this line is now
being done by M. Ducretet in his Paris
laboratory, where he has in successful
operation a wireless biography plant
sending messages four kilometres (24S
miles,. The success of NJ. Dueretet de-
ponds upon the use of a. special RADIO
conductor, generally known in this
country as the Brantley tube. This
takes the place of the soft iron magnet
in an ordinary Geographic instrument.
The special receiver is connected with
an ordinary Morse sounder and is OPP
Grated from the distant sending sta
ton without any other conductor than
the atmosphere. 1t is interesting to
note that the report mentions that the
message is written out with the old
paper tape and pencil receiver, al
though this device has been practically
discarded in telegraph offices in this
country for many years.
The sending station of M. Ducretet's
office is equipped with a mast 65 feet
high above the roof of his laboratory
This is said to be necessary to start
the current above the interference of
surrounding buildings, as the electric
waves will pass through an ordinary
wall, but are detected by iron con-
structions
NJ. Ducretet says the British govern
ment has been experimenting with a
practically identical apparatus for the
transmission of naval signals and has
sent messages between Bournemouth
and the. Isle of Wight. He says that
while his experiments do not indicate
that the Hertz telegraphy will in the
near future take the place of ordinary
wire lines, it has already been Demon
strated Impractical value for lighthouse
and naval signals. for exploring service
and like uses He further says that his
machine may be utilized, not only for
| sending messages, but that a series of
incandescent lights may be lighted at
q distance or mine charges may be ex-
ploded it being only a question of OBJ
tanning sufficient power.
In view of this report it may be in
tereSting to note the fact that during
the early days of the late war the navy
department gave serious consideration
to a scheme for the use of a system of
wireless biography to enable warships
to communicate with the shore This
was suggested by Tesla and his col
leagues, but with the retirement of Mr.
Roosevelt the negotiations were

SALE OF DON ATOMS.
Field Museum Involved In An In
teresting Lawsuit.

CSfSSC1nS Lawsuit.
Chicago, Dec PA question as to
the right of the Field Columbian mu-
scum to sell articles donated to it for
purposes of exhibition is the legal issue
involved in a case on hearing before
Judge Chetlan and a jury in the su-
perior court. The defendant, the Field
Columbian museum, maintains that it
has the right to sell or otherwise dis
pose of any donations which it has re-
ceived for exhibition purposes, without
making any return to the donator
The case is that of Nav & Co. of
London, England, who, in 1894, sent
mosaics and cases valued at 900 to
the museum as donation for eXhi-
bition. The greater part of the eXhi-
bition which could not be utilized on
account of want of space, was stored,
and the English firm notified that the
goods were subject to their order being
safe, but without insurance. Later a
fire broke out in the warehouse and the
exhibits were somewhat soiled Finally
the goods of Nav & Co., together with
some other property of the Field mu-
scum. were sold at auction for $780, 1t
is claimed that the price received was
ridiculously low.
The plaintiffs aver that they donated
the exhibit for educational purposes,
and that the museum had no right to
sell the goods They ask the jury TO
award them $4,000.
In defense the museum people main
tain that it is their right to exhibit ar
ticles donated for that purpose or sell
them, as they see fit.

LIEUTENANT HoBSoN SAILS.
Tremendous Demonstration By Peo-
pie of San Francisco.

San Francisco, Dec. 24-Lieutenant
Richmond Pearson Hobson sailed for
the Philippines today, on the steamer
Gaelic. Lieutenant Hobson will report
to Admiral Dewey upon his arrival,
and. viii undertake the work of raising
and preparing for service under the
nag of the United States the vessels of
Admiral Montojo, which suffered so Sc.
verelMs from z1he attack of Admira1
Dewey's squadron.
An immense crowd of people gather
ed at the dock to witness the deDar-
ture. HobSon'S carriage had great diff
fculty in getting through the throngs
of people, who simply would not let
him pass in quiet. Cheers upon cheers
were given for him, and he was COM
PEELED at several points to say a few
words to the people. Escorted by a
number of friends, Hobson finally man
aged TO reach the vessels side, and as
he emerged from the carriage the
cheers We're renewed.
Cries for a speech were ignored for
some time, but they became so frequent
and prolonged that Hobson was again
compelled to speak to the people. His
remarks could hardly be heard, save
by a few people who stood very close
to him. He told of his sorrow at hav-
ing to leave his own country, but
spoke in glowing anticipation of the
work which required his presence in the
Philippines, and expressed his graft
tude to the people for the honors show
cred upon him. When the vessel got
under way all the steam whistles on
the water front were given full play,
and the noise was terrific. The vessels
in the harbor were decorated for the
occasion, and flags dipped in Hobson's
honor as the Gaelic passed up the har-
Dor to the Golden Gate.

they are taken, pass merely as the
equivalents of the Spanish pesos or sill
yer dollars.
The small shopkeepers and the labor
ing population are still ignorant of the
value of American silver coins. In the
cafes they are distrusted, and the cab
men will not accept them. When large
payments have been made to the sol
diers this silver is certain to be forced
into circulation, but the relation which
it will bear to the Spanish coins is a
puzzle. Though very large amounts of
silver have been taken back to Spain
by the officers and the officials, the fear
that no silver viii be left in Cuba has
not been realized. At present the
value is rising slightly, due to further
depletion by the departing Spaniards,
but enough remains to answer the pur-
pose of business and to add to the
complex problems which must be solved
by the treasury department at Wash
ington.

THIS CLUB MEET. AT MIDNIGHT.
Story Of An Organization Cosmopolitan In Its Character

Salt Lake City has several organiza-
tons known as clubs. Their name is
legion. Some are exclusively for men,
others for women, still others for both.
Some have permanent abiding places.
others meet in different localities. MANY
meet regularly, many irregularly. AT the
sessions of a number secrecy is observed;
when others gather, every one who wants
to come is admitted
But whenever any of them gather, there
IS sure to be something in the paper next
day concerning it. If the reporters are
not there. an enterprising member brings
in an account of the same.
There is one club, however. which, all
though it has held many sessions during
the year which is coming to a close. has
received no mention at the hands of the
press, although large portion of it's
membership is made up from the news
gathering, fraternity. No it isn't the
Press club. 1t meets without call and
adjourns when ''the table is clear" There
is never any unfinished business''-it is
all new. 1t has no fixed dues and never
levies an assessment. It pays no funeral
benefits, for its members never die. When

LYNCHING IN INDIANA.
Victim Had Attempted to Murder
His Wife.


Scottsburg, Ind, Dec. PA lynching
took place here early today, so quietly
that few Of the residents knew of the
occurrence until this morning.
Marion Tyler, the victim, had been
in Jail for several weeks, in consequence
of an attempt to kill his wife. Shortly
after midnight the mob was formed.
All were masked. They hurried to the
sheriff's residence in the Jail, called
him by name, and, ecovering him and
his sons with guns. the leader demand
ed: Turn over the keys to the jail
The demand was promptly refused,
but the mob became so threatening
and determined that the sheriff and his
family were frightened into telling
where the keys could be found. The
mob took them and went to the Jail,
where they secured the prisoner and
hanged him.,
On Nov. last Tyler shot and ser
iously wounded his wife, and then

Two nights later the dinner was put on
and since that time the club has met reg

the serenity of the proceedings was when
d new cook forgot TO make preparations
for the dinner IN time, and served a mess
which was. half cooked and the meat too
salty. It is-learned that since getting out
