WEST VIRGINIA is likely to be
one of the States lucky enough to
enjoy an Increase in her Congress
ionaI representation on the basis of
the twelfth Census. Ex-senator
Faulkner, speaking of this matter,
said that in his belief the popula-
ton OF West Virginia would be
100000 in 1900. Allowing a
ratio of one representative to every
200, 600 of the population, which
seems TO be the most reasonable
one to adopt, West Virginia would
be entitled to five congressman in
stead OF four as at present. The
appointments will be made at the
second session of the Fifty-sixth
Congress, but will not go into effect
until 1908, ut which time, should
West Virginia get the increase ex-
pected, a redistricting of the State
will be necessary.

MAPCON| WANTS TOO MUCH
EXorbitant Price Asked for
Imperfect Invention.
WILL BUILD ONE OF OUR OWN
Navy and Army Geniuses Will Begin
Work at Once on an Instrument for
Wireless TeIegraphy.

New York, Dec. 25.-A tpecial to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Rear-Admiral Bradford has asked au-
thority from the navy department to
establish bureau at the naval training
station at Newport for the develop
ment of naval system of wireless tel
egraphy. 1t is proposed to detail sew
eral officers having high electrical
knowledge at this station and to fur
nish facilities for study and expert
ment, in the belief that something bet
ter than Marconi's apparatus may be
devised.
The project to secure Marconi's sys-
TEN for the navy has been practically
abandoned. In the first place its range
was found to be exceedingly limited,
especially when vessels were rolling in
a seaway, and their topmasts continu-
ously varied in height above the water.
Then there was the insuperable ohjec-
lions of interference, two stations be-
ing unable to hold intelligent commun-
ication when third station within
their circle of sensitiveness undertook
to send Il message to eisher point. This
defect destroys the value of the system
where more than two ships cruised in
squadron or where an enemy chose to
send disturbing messages.
Finally, Marconi's terms of $40, 900
for the first year and $40, 900 annually
thereafter were regarded as exorhitant
for the use of his half-developed inven-
ton. He declined absolutely to modify
his proposition, which compelled the
navy to take 20 sets of apparatus or
more, and to pay $500 outright for each
set. and $500 year each as royalty
for their use. He refused to send two
or three sets for experimental pur-
poses, and gave American naval officers
to understand that he did not care to
do business on q small scale when Eu-
ropean navies were fighting for the ex-
elusive use of his coherer and other es-
sential features, in spite of the SYSTEMS
radical shortcomings, as discovered on
this side of the Atlantic. Marconi's
attitude toward the army was scarcely
different, and the signal corps is going
ahead on sytem of its own, which
avoids the Italians patents, and al.
ready is said to be producing better re.
suits.
Rear Admiral Bradford believes that
some of the electrical experts OF the
naval equipment bureau, ii the oppor-
tunity is given them, will produce APP
paratus to meet the peculiar conditions
of the navy without appreciable expen-
diture, and in all probability the ex-
periments he desires will be ordered
One station will be located at the
training station and the other at the
torpedo school, ON islands about mile
apart, and as progress is made other
stations will be set up at various points
in Newport harbor, where torpedo
boats are always available, with vessels
in motion or for miniature fleet evolu-
tons. Several forms of apparatus from
American inventors have already been
submitted for test and doubtless others
will be received when the work is act
ually started

Collided with IA Milk Train.

New York, Dec. PA wreck on
the New Jersey Central railroad at
Highbridge, n. j., late last night re-
suited in one death and the injury of
five persons.
Christopher V. Hutsider, grocer,
was killed. and Peter Eick. Miss Ella
Maxwell and Baggageman Frank
Grant were injured. A coal train was
descending the step grade, when the
engineer noticed a signal from a milk
train which was at the station. The
engineer of the coal train applied the
brakes, and detached his engine from
the train and approached the milk
train to find the cause of the delay and
receive orders. The coal cars were not
held by air brakes and came rushing
down the grade, striking the engine,
pushing it into the combination car of
the rear of the milk train. None of
the injured are seriously hurt.
