A New System Successfully Tested
lndOOrs-It Is Different From
Marconi'S.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Prof. w. S. John
son and C. L. Fortier, of Milwaukee,
today made successful test in this city
of the wireless telegraph. They sue
ceeded in telegraphing without wires
through suite of seven rooms, with
/, all doors closed and through seven
walls. Another test was made
when the signals were conveyed
through three fire-proof vaults and an
ordinary telegraph switchboard in
which thirty wires were connected up
and about forty dead wires were To-
Gated.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
switchboard contained live wires, the
current passed through all of the
vaults and through this board. This is
one of the most severe tests that has
ever been given wireless telegraphy.
A third test was made, in which the
sending instrument was placed inside
of one of the steel vaults and both doors
were closed and the combination lock
turned. The signals were then trans.
mitted clearly from the inside of the
vault to an adjoining room.
The professor claims that his inven-
tion is materially different from that OF
Marconi and that instruments can be
constructed to be carried on horseback
and be ready for operation within fsw
moments after they have reached their
destination.

The BOERS DRIVEN FROM
THEIR POSITION
On MOdder River, South
of Kimberly,
By Lord Methuen's Forces
tuesday.

Dispatches from Cape Town, and from
Lord Methuen, state that, Tuesday, he
attacked the entire Boer force 5000
at Nodder River, 30 miles south of
Kimberly, and made them abandon
their position. The fighting lasted for
ten hours, and is said to have been
desperate, but no estimate is given of
losses, and the dispatches are so indeti-
mite that it cannot be told whether the
fighting was on the south or north side
of the river.
In London it is thought the Beers
we're on the south side of the river,
but Lord Methuen's dispatches indi-
cate that the British were on the south
side of the river and the Beers on the
north side. He says, ''there was no
means of out-fanking the Beers, the
river being full" This would be mean
ingless IL the Beers were on the south
side Of the river. Lord Methuen also
says, 'EGen. Carew was successful in get
ling q small party across the river, gal
lantly assisted by 300 sappers." This
would have been no trick at all, If the
Bosrs had been on the south side, but
have been dangerous with the Beers
holding the south side.
Il IL probable, therefore, that the
Boers had their line of works on the
north bank of the river, and were
driven from there by the artillery, first,
and the infantry, after the Boer artll-
iery was silenced. The Boer army, he
fore IL was driven back probably COM
rnauded the fords or bridges OF the
river. And after it was driven back
the small party under Gen. Carew
crossed.

A WAY TO DUST ROBERTS.
The Republican Program Is To Bar
Him for Having Committed
POIygamy. =

Washington. Nov. 26.-I'he program
for unseating Roberts, of Utah, has
been practically decided upon by Re-
publican House leaders, who held a
conference late tonight. Objections
will be offered when he appears at the
bar of the House to be sworn in. His
case will be referred to the Committee
on Privileges and Elections, of which
Mr.. Taylor, of Ohio, will be chairman.
That committee will report in favor of
declaring Roberts seat vacant because
he has violated the United States
statute of 1852, prohibiting polygamous
marriages. 1t is known that the sec
ond, if not the third, of Roberts wives
has been married since that date.
This IL the program which the House
leaders hope to carry out.
