leEraphy are astonishing, as a ccnpari-
son of the two methods wiz show. An
lsordiuary telegraph operator. sending
messages by the Morse system, can
transmit from thirty to forty words a
minute BY the MILESTONE system.
where the messages are first prepared
on a punched strip of paper and then
transmitted automatically, speed is
attained of $50 to 200 words a minute.
By the sign wave system a speed of
1900 words a minute has been attained
over a single wire, and at the same
time the wire could be used for sending
other messages by the ordinary Morse
system without creating any interfer-
ence. 1t is also possible TO send two
entirely different messages over the
same line at one time at the rate of
5000 words minute, and in addition
to this the messages may be transmit
ted to and received at any number of
stations at the same instant and re-
corded automatically.
What may not be achieved yet in the
way of communication between differ
eut parts of the earth? 1t will not be
long, at the present rate, before a few
telegraph wires may take the place of
the postal service. Letter writing will
be done away with, and the wires will
be used by every one except, possibly,
engaged persons, and even they may
adopt a code.
Truly this old world is whirling along
at a rapid pace. What we regard as
an impossibility today may become the |
common use of tomorrow. Wonders /
never cease. About all one can say is
to asl-What next?

Students Will Take No
Immediate Action.
M'NAUGHTON'S UNPOPULARITY
SAID TO HAVE APPOINTED A
NUMBER OF SPIES.
Through Threats of Expulsion Trus-
tees Secure Copy of the Min
utes of the Students
Meeting.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 26.-The threatened
strike among State Normal School STU
dents has been averted for a time, but
the student body declare the matter will
come up again. The faculty and local
trustees were busy late into last night
and early this morning doing missionary
work among the students. and by threats
and bribes succeeded in allaying the
trouble The student body IS not salts
fed with this smoothing over and declare
that Professor Daily insulted them and
he must yet apologize. They assert that
they have always conducted themselves
as ladies and gentlemen and the vice
principal had no reason to rebuke them
as he did
ing as Man Friday to Principal Nc
Naughton and is simply carrying out the
orders Of his superior. Last night Prin-
cipal McNaughton and Chairman Brown
Of the trustees called upon the president
of the student body and demanded the
minutes of yesterdays meeting, but We're
secretary was then visited, and through
threats of expulsion q copy of the pro-
ceedingS was secured.
AT the meeting this afternoon 600 stu
dents were present The committee on
resolutions presented the following, which
had been prepared by Daily: THAT we,
the student body of the State Normal
School, agree to support the authorities
of this school in all methods of discipline
which they deem best" This caused a
groan, and about two-thirds Of the stu
dents refrained from voting 1t passed.
The committee states that through
threats and bribes they were compelled
to present this. There is Ill feeling among
the students and trouble is expected at
any time
Principal McNaughton has appointed a
couple of dozen spies among the teachers
and students to watch the scholars, and
this is causing trouble. Threats have also
been made that Otto Mouron, the leader
of yesterdays meeting will be expelled
II this is done fully 600 students will leave
the school
1t is reported that Principal Nc
Naughton realizes that he cannot man
age the school and has given Vice Prin-
cipal Daily full authority and that he
will remain principal in name only and
draw the salary.

tion was conducted by District Attorney

macy with Walters wife; that Walters

DELAY ADVANTAGEOUS
FOR GREAT BRITAIN

LONDON, Sept. 26.-The general feel
ing, including that Of the pro- Beers, as
indicated by articles in the afternoon
papers to-day is that the published dis
patch of the Secretary of State for the
Colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain, TO the Brit
ish High Commissioner in South Africa,
Sir Alfred Miner, clears the way for
peace, if the Beers desire it. In any
event, it is pointed out, it affords
further delay, which, in the case of
Great Britain, is certainly advantage
, Gus, as ii gives time for the reinforce
ment of the garrsonS at the Cape. The
papers generally, however, express the
hope that President Kruger will now
see his way to meet Great Britain's
views, and the Westminster Gazette,
which is not an anti-Boer paper, says:
president Kruger and his advisors
still have a chance of securing peace
with independence"
In the meanwhile the dispatch of
troops to South Africa proceeds unin-
terruptedly. Three field batteries ar
rived at Birkenhead to-day and will
embark for Durham, Natal
A cablegram from Cape Town says:
Quantities Of stores and ammunition
are leaving here daily. The movement
of the troops to Natal is merely a pre-
cautionary measure to secure the coal
mines, and is in no wise in the nature
Of menace. There are no imperial troops
on the immediate border. Rumors of
collisions should be received with eau
tiOn.

GERMANY THINKS
ENGLAND SEEKS DELAY

BERLIN, Sept. 26.-The publication
of Mr.. Chamberlain's kilograms to Sir
Alfred Miner, British High Commits
siOner in South Africa, calls forth but
few comments from the German press
The optimistic views expressed yester-
day have given way to a general feeling
in many quarters that war is inevitable
and that the course of British policy is
merely ruse to gain time TO complete
the military preparations
The National Zeitung says: The
statements made in the TransvaaI
green book are a fat contradiction of
Mr.. Chamberlain's version of the five
years franchise offer and each Govern
ment taxes the other with perfdy re-
garding the rest"
The Neueste Nachrichten says: THE
turn given to the suzerainty question
is really nothing but play upon words
The Transvaal is. of course, not SOW
ereign, as England's veto restricts it
as treatymaking power. Nor has
this ever been denied by the Transvaal,
whose Government only wants a re-
striction of England's interference in
internal affairs

SWALLOWED CARBOLIC
ACID BY MISTAKE
Mrs. r. M. Donne Of San Rafael Has
Narrow Escape From
naoth

SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 26.-Mrs r. M
Donne, the wife of a popular local mer-
chant. nearly lost her life to-day as a re-
suit Of a mistake in swallowing a mix
ture of carbolic acid and glycerin. She
has been in Ill health and under the care
of a physician for several months past.
AT 6 o'clock this morning she arose from
bed and took the poison from q bottle on
the mantel instead of the medicine in
another bottle close to the mixture of
carboIc acid and glycerin, which had
been used in treating dog with the
mango.
An hour later she was discovered in an
unconscious condition by Mrs. Ennis the
nurse, who summoned Drs. Keck and
Wickman. After three hours labor. Mrs.
Donne was pronounced out of danger.
Her husband, who has been spending
vacation at Duncans and Vichy Springs,
arrived home just as his wife regained
consciousness.
Donne's troubles have not come singlN
for he returned on crutches as the result
of a bad sprain of the right ankle AS
he ascended the steps of his residence
the dog. whose affiiction was indirectly
responsible for Mrs. Donne's condition,
leaped joyfully upon its master and threw
him off his balance. He fell and severely
sprained the left wrist in addition to
wrenching the injured ankle

Forest Fires Raging in San

Counties.
MINES THREATENED
Gangs Of Men Are Working N ght
and Day to Prevent the Spread
of the Destroyer.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 26.-Forest fires
have been raging in the Cuyamaca
Mountains fifty miles west of here, for
over a week and have done immense
damage to the timber and watersheds.
The flames started about ten days ago
on the north peak of the Cuyamaca
range, known as Kelly's Mountain and
adjoining the Cuyamaca reservoir. How
the fire started no one seems to know.
1t has spread in a northerly direction,
burning over thousands of acres Of
timber lands, destroying the sawmill
on the Kelly ranch, and has rendered
the road impossible between Stonewall
and Julian. The house of James Tally
was only saved by heroic efforts as the
fire burned around it.
The fire has been checked toward the
north, but is now burning toward the
southern and main peak of the Cuya-
maca range, which is heavily timbered
1t is reported here that the Golden
Key mine in the path of the fire was
destroyed so far as buildings and ma
chinery are concerned.
PLACERVILLE, Sept. ga great
forest fire in the mountains twenty-five
miles northeast of this city threatens
to destroy the railroad and camps of
the American River Land and Lumber
Company, together with over ten mil
lion feet of logs lying in the woods.
Lack of water in the south fork of
the American River has prevented the
company making any drive to their
mills at Folsom for the past two years.
The fire is mile and a half in width
and If not subdued within the next
twenty-four hours the great plant of
the lumber company will undoubtedly
be destroyed.
Another fire is raging in the vicinity
of Grizzly Flats near the Mount Pleas
ant mine. A large force of men is kept
busy fighting it away from the build
ings of the mine. 1t is thought that
the fire is incendiary, as James Lyons
discovered some men setting fresh fires
the night before last. They ran as soon
as they found they were discovered and
he followed them on horseback for two
miles, but they finally disappeared in
the brush. He could not identify them.
1t is thought that they are trying to
destroy the Mount Pleasant property
A force of six men is kept on guard
constantly over the mine and if the
guilty parties are caught it will go
hard with them.

ACTIVE VOLCANO
ON JAMES ISLAND
Leander'S Grew Get a
Good View of 1t.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 26.-When H.
NJ. S. Leander, which returned to EsQui-
malt to-day, was cruising in the waters
of South America her officers were given
a fireworks exhibition by dame nature.
When the warship called at the Gala
pagos Islands, a group of five large and
ten small islands belonging TO Ecquador,
a volcano was found to be going in full
blast, throwing huge fountains of sparks,
rocks and molten earth high into the air
and sending streams of lava rolling down
the island slopes to explode with q roar
like hundreds of batteries as they Joined
the sea. The volcano, which is said to
have become active about three months
ago, is on James Island, which attains
an elevation of about 5000 feet above the
sea level. 1t is a mass of volcanoes of
varied sorts and sizes, most Of which
have been extinct for some years.
The Leander went in as close as she
could with safety and those on board
spent day. and night making obser,-
vations Of the pyrotechnical display and
age, the officers say. There is nothing
there to be damaged, for the island is

BOERS VERY ANXIOUS
TO COMMENCE FIGHTING

LONDON, Sept. 26.-The Times has
dispatch from Johannesburg which as
serts that the delay is creating the
worst possible impression in the minds
of the burghers, who tauntingly boast
that While Great Britain deprecateS de-
lay upon the part of the Beers, she in
tentionally and unnecessarily prolongs
the controversy because she is afraid
to follow up her own game of bluff with
the arguments of force.
Reports are heard on all sides of the
eagerness of the Beers to start hostili-
ties, and their postponement is said to
be wholly due to the restraining in
f1uence Of General Joubert. 1t is added
that it is believed that this influence
cannot be exercised much longer. There
is a circumstantial rumor that General
Joubert has received imperative orders
from the armed burghers that unless
he is prepared TO take the initiative
within a brief period he must relinquish
his command of the army. This is
looked upon as an instructive indica-
ton of Boer feeling.

SPAN|ARD TRIED
To KILL HIS WIFE
Pursued Her With Re-
VOlVer and Knife.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HANFORD, Sept. 26.-Francisco Santa
Maria, prominent Spaniard at Lemoore,
attempted to kill his wife last night.
He accused the woman of infidelity a
few days ago and drove her from the
house. Last night she returned to pack
up her clothing, and he again attacked
her. The woman fled from the house, and
her infuriated husband followed her He
fired at her twice, but neither shot took
effect. The woman stumbled and fell,
and Francisco was about to fire again
when Constable Furnish arrived.
He at once attacked the Spaniard and
attempted to disarm him. Francisco
drew a knife and slashed wildly at his
captor but failed to injure him.
Francisco was taken to the Jail and
locked up on a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon and attempted murder.
He was released on bail to-day.
The preliminary examination will be
held Thursday and some interesting de-
velopments are expected. Mrs. Santa
Maria is a handsome woman and leader
in Spanish society in Lemoore.
