WIRELESS TE1EGRApHY TESTS.
Continued by Navy Department-Ex-
cellent Result Obtained.

New York, Oct. 27.--The navy depart
ment continued it's tests of the Marconi
system of wireless telegraphy to-day.
The demonstrations are being made on
the flagship New York and the battle
ship Massachusetts off the foot of Thir-
ty-fourth street. The ships lay 44S yards
apart and the demonstration was of
speed and accuracy. Code messages
using both the navy and international
Morse code were sent. The largest con-
tinuouS message was newspaper arti-
Gle Of two hundred words In all there
were six demonstrations and the work
was continued for about two hours.
Signor Marconi said he paid no atten-
tion to the speed attained, as the navy
department was mort particular as to
accuracy.
The equipment overhead consisted
only of wires strung from the cross
beams Of both vessels. On the New
York the apparatus was in the main
cabin and on the Massachusetts in the
lower quarters. The system worked ap-
parently to perfection. Further tests
viii be made and full report made
to the department On Monday the New
York and Massachusetts, will cruise off
Sandy Hook in order to make long
distance test of the system. At times
the vessels will be forty miles from an
other and this will be the crucial dem
onstration. If successful it will prove
how valuable the system would be dur
ing naval engagement or while fleet
is blockading on enemy's coast. During
Jietn f1lo
of the warships will be discharged as
a further test None of the members of
the naval board would give an opinion
of the work being done by Signor Mar
conf. Admiral Farquhar watched the
demonstration for time and seemed
greatly interested.

PULLMAN-W4GNER MERGER.
Exact Conditions Stated--There Has
Been No Absorption Yet

becn NO ADsofpsloN het.
New York, Oct 27.--In view of con-
flicting statements and various conclu-
sions as to the primacy of either COM
pany in the recent Pullman Wagner
merger, the Associated Press states the
exact conditions, which are as follows:
Neither has the Pullman company alb
sorbed the Wagner nor has the Wagner
company absorbed the Pullman. The
two companies have simply amalgamat-
ed, retaining the Pullman organization,
however in preference to the Wagner,
as the Pullman is a stock company and
the Wagner merely business associa-
tion with no charter. The Wagner COM
pany has four directors in the new Pull
man company and although the new
company may have the name of Pull
man, it will be equally as much Wagner
as Pullman and will operate on all the
Vanderbilt lines

Conservative Overwhelmingly Defeats
Antt-War Candidate.

London, Oct 27.-The parliamentary
bye-eection for the Bow and Bromley
division of Tower Hamlets, London,
held to-day to replace Hon. Lionel r.
Roland, conservative, was fought on the
governments Transvaal policy and re-
suited in a big victory for the govern
ment, the conservat tive candidate, Will
liam Guthrie, being elected by 4,32S
votes, against 2123 votes cast for his
liberal and radical opponent, Harold
Spender. The conservative majority
was practically twice that secured at
the election of Mr.. Holland. Through
out the campaign Mr.. Spender opposed
the war in South Africa and Mr.. Cham
berlain's conduct of the negotiations
with the Transvaal government. His
opposition was so persistent that he
was dubbed by the conservatives
throughout the canvass as ''Boer Spen-
der"

BIG STRIK q IN MERIDEN.
some 500 to 700 Hands Leave Work ut
r., MILLER 81 Co.'s.


Meriden Conn, Oct 27-The strike
which started among the polishers and
buffers employed by e. Miller & Co.,
yesterday afternoon when about sixty
employees went out, has increased until
about 500 of the 700 hands employed in
the factory have left their work The
polishers and buffers struck because
they were denied the privilege of taxi
ing five minutes to wash up before 10
o'clock. The employees of the other de-
partments have struck out of sympa
thy for those men and the business of
the company Is practically closed. The
officers of the company refuse to state
what they propose to do about the mat
ter, but an unsuccessful attempt was
made to get some men from New Ha-
ven to go to work this morning. The
strikers are very orderly and no dis
turbance of any kind Is expected. This
is very busy time at Millers factory
and it is probable that the matter will
be satisfactorily adjusted in a very
short time.

SOME MONEY Is DISCOVERED
BOARD OF FTNANCE GIVES 4 LIT.
TIE TO DIRECTOR TROUP.
moVal of Snow In Case of a Big Storm
-Omly S525 Transfcrred-Though to
be Enough for Present Nccessities--
APartition in the Controllers Office.


The board of finance at it's meeting
last night held a special session to de-
wise IL possible some means of furnish
ing money to meet the urgent needs in
the department of public works Direc-
tor Troup submitted to the board
statement showing the following bal
anceS in his department: Crosswalks,
$92.2S; stone crusber and road roller,
S55.51; walks and curbs $4.32 grading
streets, $4l.2S; contingent fund, 1,A10.s0.
The finance board after considering the
matter decided to transfer $525 from the
contingent fund in the directors depart
1nent, as follows: $3.50 to repair Of
Barnesvlle and Kimberly avenue
bridges, S100 to removal of decayed
trees, SIS to repair of sidewalks.
The opinion of the members OF the
board was that this sum transferred
would be sufficient to tide over the pres
ent necessities. There was very evil
dent reluctance to now transfer from
the contingent fund in the controller's
department, the idea being that no
transfers should be made from one de-
partment to another unless urgent ne-
cessity should appear. In this case the
board of finance evidently did not think
that urgent necessity appeared, not
withstanding the statements Of Director
Troup, Mr. Kelly and Mr.. Brennan
Thursday evening.
The idea expressed was that the
money to share in the contingent fund
of the controllers department should
be left to draw upon in the event Of
a large snow storm coming next month
and necessitating the removal of snow
from the streets. Controller Rowe with
the approval of the board of finance,
will in few days begin to make con-
siderable changes in the area of his Of
flee. For some time there has been a
the department of the city clerk and
also to divide up the vault between the
needs of the two officers.
There will be erected a partition be-
tween the offices Of the controller and
the city clerk, now in the same room.
The vault will also be partitioned off
and part assigned to each of the two
city officials A plate glass partition
will separate City Clerk Norris front
office from Controller Rowe's front Of
flee and from the plate glass partition
of wire screen will extend back to the
vault The paying desk of the con-
troller will be extended back to the
vault and then door will be cut into
the vault from the controllers side,
thus making the offices of the controller
and city clerk distinct and separate in
every respect.

JEALOUSY OF THE NATIONS.


U
London, Oct. 27.-Lord Rosebery at

upon the unfriendliness of the foreign
press and foreign public opinion Lord
Rosebery said: This is no little war.
There are nations watching with eager
ness every trip, every stumble and
much more, every catastrophe and dis
aster that may overtake our arms. War
waged under these conditions, there
fore. is not little war l do not know
why we should attract so much i'll feel
ing. There is one simple test that Will
apply to the British empire as COM
pared with other empires who watch
her, with SO much, l wont say malevo-
lence, but candid feeling. Uaughter).
We would be only too glad at the pres
ent moment to strike a bargain with
the rest of the world that every from
tier should remain as now. OF what
other empire can that be said? Yet
we, who are not trying to gain Dut 10
maintain empire, we who in the best
and highest sense are the most conser-
vative force in the world, are the OBJ
ject of the concealed dislike of gov
ernments who, l think, are less single
minded than ourselves"
Lord Rosebery in an impassioned pc
roration, calling upon the nation to
maintain a uniform front after speak
ing of Great Britain as this lonely is
land in these northern seas, view with
such Jealousy, such hostility, such jar
red ambition by the great empires Of
the world, who count their armies with
embattled millions, concluded, amid
stormy applause, with Shakespeare
words:
Naught shall make us rue,
If England to herself remain but true.
