Use Wireless System.

New York. Nov. photographic COM
munication by Signor Marconi's wireless
system is to be esta blished between tive
of the Hawaiian islands by company
of Americans. Frederick j. Gross, OF
the firm of Cation, Neill L. CO.. engineers
of Honolulu, who is now in this city, mas
closed a contract for the American COM
pany in Hawaii. Although many enSl-
neers regarded the connection of the five
islands by cable as impracticable, be-
cause of coral reefs. on which cable
is soon covered with coral growth, breaks
are frequent and repairs extremely dlih-
cult, the American company has about
decided to attempt it as the need of tele-
graphic communication has grown most
urgent. Then they heard ~ SiSnor Mar
coni's achievements and Mr.. Cross was
sent to this country to view the workings
of his system. He found that the Mar
conf system would cost much less and se
more practicable in many ways than 4
cable. Regular telegraph business will
be done by the company installing the
wireless system. The distances over
which communication will be established
will vary from eight to 81 miles.

May Exchange Islands.

New York, Nov. IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: So far as
can be learned nothing is known in
Washington of the reported offer by
Great Britain to cede the Gilbert islands
and the Solomon islands in the Pacific to
Germany. Negotiations for the settle
ment of Samoan question have reached
stage where Great Britain is called up
on to make proposition of some kind
and the German foreign Office may have
been sounded to learn whether Germany
would be willing to turn over her inter-
est in Samoa to Great Britain in return
for the Gilbert and Solomon islands. If
the British foreign Office has this bargain
in view it would have to be approved by
the United States as the third power in
terested in the Samoan islands before i
could be formally agreed to by Great
Britain and Germany.

British Position Weak.

New York, Nov. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The fore
cast of defeat over which keen observers
We're brooding before midnight Monday
was finally confirmed before 10 o'clock
yesterday. 1t was the bluest and black
est day London has known since the first
ings that the Beers had completely out
maneuvered General White and while
Turing on the British center and right
had ambushed the left wing cut two bat
talions to pieces and forced it to sur
render, together with a mountain bat-
terry, filled the streets with dismay and
gloom.
John Bull is not accustomed to being
beaten by anybody, and he takes punish
ment, when it comes, with poor grace
and a sense of bewilderment, albeit with
self-command. Disaster was written
large in every newspaper placard during
the day, but the newsboys were sur
rounded with grim swarms of pur-
chasers, setting teeth together and deter
mined to know the worst. yet marveing
how SO overwhelming defeat had been
within the range of possibilities in the
queens dominons.
1t was not enough for General White
to declare that he alone had blundered,
nor for the Office to order out three addi-
tion1l battalions and a mounted battery
to replace the losses sustained "a Glencoe
and Ladysmith. What every English
man knew in his heart was the truth,
that the rustic Beers. whose strategy
and training had been d,spised by the

maneuver British generals and ensaare

PERAT|0NS
OF MONDAY
Are Described in a Late Dispatch Re-
Ceived in London From Gen.
eral White.
HIS MEN FOUGHT To THE LAST DITCH
When Their Ammunition Was Exhausted They Were
Compelled to Give ln--Gloom in London Over the
Late Reports is Relieved by the Heroic Stand rlade
by the Soldiers of the Queen--Loss Was Not Nearly
as Heavy as Reported -Troopship Lost.

he reported shortly. The latter are UNDER
stood to have been sent by rail to Pre-
toria. The security of Ladysmith is in
no way affected
The gloom caused by the British dis
aster at Ladysmith was in a measure re-
lieVed by today's story, giving an ac-
count Of the heroic stand made by the
decimated battalions until their last cart
ridges were gone. The British nerve was
momentarly shaken by General Whites
use of the word "capitulate' in his first
telegram, but now that it is known that
the Gloucesters and fusileers fought
against overwhelming odds and upheld
the best traditions of the British army,
the tension has been relieved since there
is no longer any ground to decide the
loss was accompanied by dishonor
Details today show the catastrophe in
brighter aspects. Four battalions were
not engaged and therefore the list of pris-
oners is materially reduced, while the dis
aster now appears to have heen not so
much the consequence of defects in plan
of action as to the misfortune whereby
the column was deprived of it's ammuni-
ton. Still it seems incOmprehensibe why
the plight of the luckless column was not
known at headquarters. as the surrender
was only about three miles northwest of
Ladysmth and Carleton must have ex-
pected relief to reach him or instead of
attempting to occupy a defensive posi-
ton he would have retraced his steps to
Ladysmith when he suffered the loss of
his ammunition.
Apart from Whites statement that the
losses are very numerous there is moth
ing to indicate the extent of them except
vague report that soldier who brought
news to Ladysmith said the British dead
and wounded We're lying in heaps and
that hundreds needed doctors. This.
however, is hardly borne out by the long
list Of captured officers.

John 0. Carlisle and Perry Bel mont have pulled thel,hypocritical mask from the face of Wm. Goebel, candidate for Governor of Kentucky. It was charged ln the campaign that Goebel visited Carlisle at Washing ton with view of planning to car. ry Kentucky for sound money in 1856. This Goebers supporters de nied it but now Carlisle comes to the front with an interview and says it is true, and Perry Belmont also writes a letter in which he says he has seen letters from Goebel in 1896 planning with sound money men for the defeat of free silver in the Blue Grass State. Just now Goebel is very blatant silver man (for the office only) and it IS always pleasing to see the hypocrisy of a wiley and schemiug politician ex- posed.

suLTAN's GIFTS TO UNCLE SAM
sent to President Van Buren-Caused
 No End of Trouble.

NO LInQ or LfOuD1es
 On the seventh day of the month Of Schawwai in the year 1254 of the Hegira-which is the Arabian way of writing Dec. 25, 1939-the sultan of Oman, whose name was Seyyfd Saooid, bin sultan, bin ahmend, addressed a gracious letter to his excellency, Mar tin Van Buren, president of the United States of America" in which he in formed the president that he had sent him by the royal ship Sultanee a few trifies as token of friendship and good feeling, says the Ladies Home Journal. These trifles consisted of two Arabian horses and their groom, one bottle of altar of roses, two pieces of gold, five demijohns of rose water, one Persian carpet, one gold ornament with a silk tassel, four camePs-hair shawls, one gold-mounted sword. two large pearls, one bottle of diamonds, one gold snuffbox studded with prec- ious stones and one box of mixed pearls and diamonds. Under the con stitution the president Is prohibited from accepting a personal gift from any foreign state or power, and as the sultan's gifts had arrived in New York and the commander of the Sultanee would not leave the country without presenting his masters offerings, an embarrassing complication was the outcome. The matter was finally re- ferred to congress, and after three months of correspondence, red tape, diplomacy and legislation the sultan's Christmas presents were finally &C., cepted, and then the president was put to the trouble of selling the horses. the shawls and the rose-water, while Uncle Sam was given the further trouble of finding a suitable place to store the remaining gifts, and was af- terward put to great expense in cap turing the thief who carried off the en- tire collection in bag. and was only caught after long chase.

In the more inaccessible parts of the Sierra Madre mountains, in northern Mexico, live curious people called the Tarahumaris. Many of them dwell in caves, but they have also small villages, all of which are situated about 5000 feet above sea level. The Tarahumaris are small in body, but possessed of much endurance. Their only food is maize, and they manufac- ture drink called teshuin from the same cereal. Their language is lim- tied to about 300 words, and they can- not count beyond ten.

HOW A FILIPINO DIES.
Usually Stretches Himself Out and Meets
 His Death Easily.


 His Death Easily.
 The general, in a white hat, was marching in advance of the firing line, when the discharge of rife was heard in the yard of house next to the road. Several soldiers rushed into the yard. but not in time to prevent two more shots, which came whizzing in the di- rection of the general. At this moment I came to break in the hedge, where I could see what was going on. A young Filipino was about thirty yards off. He was turning this way and that like an animal at bay, thoroughly fright ened. He had a rife in his hand. It afterward turned out that this rife was choked. The soldiers were break, ing down the high hedge to get in Suddenly the Filipino made a run for life. He got through the hedge some way and dashed across an open lot. Three shots followed all of which took effect. The wounded man turned. ran sideways few paces, lay down on the ground and a second after was dOa0. SOI q SOOu o4Sul u Ju6 WuOL0 incident, and so naturally did the Fil~ ipino stretch himself along the ground and rest his head upon his arm that I thought he was shamming. An exam ination minute later proved that he was dead. There is this difference be- tween the manner in which American and Filipino soldiers die-the Ameri- can falls in a heap and dies hard; the Filipino stretches himself out, and when dead is always found in some easy attitude, generally with his head on his arms. They die the way wild animal dies-in just such a position as one finds deer or an antelope which one was shot in the wood.--Harper's Weekly.

The cane is split up into fbers and twisted together to form the cables Considering it's span, the ma- terial of the structure is quite remark able. The old tradition that almost anything can be made out of bamboo receives here good illustration in the field of engineering.

In 1870 he was sen- tenced to fifteen years penal seryitude, and released on ticket-of-leave seven years later; in 1881 he was sent back again to prison and released in the fol- lowing year. His period of liberty was short, however, for in 1883 he was again in prison for three months. It was as a convict in Portland prison ahat he was first elected as member of parliament, and that he wrote bis
