A REVOLUTION
In TELEGRAPHY Y
TEN MESSAGES ON ONE WIRE
Test OF the Rowland Machine to He
Made Between baltimore
and PittsburE.

Baltimore. Dec 27.-Prof. Henry T.
Rowland OF Johns Hopkins University.
viii test his multiplex telegraph appara-
tus this week, endeavoring 10 send four
messages simultans oUsIy to Pittsburg AID
to receive at the same time here four
messages from that city.
The instrument may be called printing
telegraph instrument II enables several
messages to be sent and received at the
same time from the same or separate
points over the same wire; it renders
wire -tapping" an impossibility and is not
affected by the weather.
Sending instruments are fitted with key
boards, like typewriters. Their number is
the same as that of the messages that il
may be desirable TO send simultaneously
Eight is the regular number of messages
that the instrument is designed to hand e
at once. but ten could be taken without
inconvenience. Each keyboard must have
an operator.
At the receiving station the Rowland
receiver performs its work without hu-
man aid. The eight messages are auto
matically separated and distributed to six
instruments. These print out the mes
sages as fast as received.
AT present DIR. Rowland's instruments
are fitted TO print on ribbons of paper.
such as those used in the familiar tick
er,'' but his perfected machine will print
the messages on sheets of paper of any
desirable shape and size. Hitherto there
never has been a successful attempt to at
tain this result.
The only attention necessary at the re-
ceiving station is to supply the instrument
with paper and take away the printed
sheets. 1t would seem as though the eight
dispatches switched on 10 a single wire
would produce hopeless confusion. but one
of the devices of Prof. Rowland's instru-
nlent adjusts the words in such a way
that the separate letters of the respective
messages cannot start on the main wire

1t seems to be about settled that the
war with Spain is over beyond a reas-
enable doubt. Word has been receiv-
ed this week that Spain will accept the
500, 900, 900 offered for all the Spanish
rights in the PHILIPPINES. This is
about S2, 80 per head for the inhabi-
tanss. OF course in this transaction
Sprin does not deliver the goods
She simply let's go and leaves to US
the task of collecting. If the eight
millions of Inhabitants accept the stu
alton, the incident may be considered
closed as far as the conquest of the
islands is concerned. If on the other
hand, this beniEhted people decline tt
accept our ownership we will still hav.
to reckon with a people who have it il
their power to give us much trouble.
aud the price of subjugating them will
bring the price of the islands up to Al
enormous amount. It Is a curious
fact to consider in this connection thai
we are practically buying something
without knowing anything about tn,
value. Reports as to the people ane
the country differ very widely. Th,
people are being described by some a,
being barbarians and by others a:
being highly civiliEed, and the descrip.
tiOns of the country differ as widely.
