experiments to be made with it. is furnish some OF
the most important items OF the time
Dispatches from New York announce that naval
officials taking great interest in the tests with the
new system OF telegraphy which are being made
under the direction Of Marcon. The tests will be
continued for time, 50 that the system can be
tried in all sorts OF weather and under all sorts OF
conditions 1t is also announced from London that

the South African war and have already made prep

The experiments by our Government and the tests
made in actual war will give to wireless teegraphy
a prestige which yellow journalism can no

nails to fakes to match the accomplishments of
science and invention. The marvels of truth cannot
long be suppressed by the falsest OF Journalists
and long the very papers that mocked at the new
triumph OF human ingenuity will be giving up whole
pages to exploiting its achievements. It is to be
noted that the Examiner recently admitted to its
columns dispatch from New York giving an ac-
count Of the tests made by the Navy Department and

At the present time two important projects based

to arrange for communication among the islands OF

far reaching STILL is scheme for opening communi-
cation along the coast of Labrador
The latter enterprise is OF more than ordinary
interest Every year feet Of soops and small
steamers from Newfoundland go the coast OF Lab
rador, where they engage in fishing. 1t is said that
some $4,000 fishermen Of Newfoundland embark
every year in the venture, and there has long been

HOT ABOUT WATER.

Y still surprised by the heat shown by the
w National Irrigators against the coming water
storage convention.
snowstorm OF tracts, letters, papers periodicals
and pamphlets is falling all over the State in which
the supposed projectors OF the convention de-
nounced as lawyers and other things to be regarded
with suspicion.
These letters advise the people that national irri-
CATION irrigation without debt, for its plan is
Federal reservoirs for the storage OF food waters
to be built through appropriations under the river
and harbor bill. recommended in the Chittenden
report" We are not favored with copy OF the Chit
tenden report, but favor it The convention will
favor it If something can be had for nothing, Cali
iorna will be the last State to refuse it. But while
the promoters OF the convention feel that spirit toward
the national irrigators, the latter are making the wei
kin howl with attacks on the convention They have
issued circular which reads like penny dreadful
and is as urid OF Cobbett's lampoons, in which
they say to those who receive ii by mail: 'Wi you
the necessary appointment Gas delegate to
the convention) Immediately, that you may attend
this convention and write informing me whether you
can do so, and whether we may have your support
and cooperation in the national movement? Should
you be willing to attend the convention and not be
able secure an appointment under the call, please
advise Immediately and arrangement may be
possible which will for you the desired right
to attend delegate
This is a cod-blooded proposition to pack the con
vention with the nhexbe adherents of the national
plan Its improprety will be when it is known
that the convention is called to antagonize that
plan to indorse it, but consult upon a subject
OF vast interest to California leave open the right OF
way to all plans and whether the day OF storage
OF waste water be hastened by other than
the modes that have been long time in action with
out catching any water.
We desire to say that packed convention in the
interest OF Federal appropriations will harm only the
interest that is spending rhetoric denuncation and
cash to secure it.
The National Irrigators seem to be full jeweed
They maintain Offices in Chicago, Washington, St
Louis, San Francisco and Los Angeles They have
treasury that supports costly propaganda All
this honey may come out of the flowers which to
bloom the nationally irrigated lands in the future,
but its lavish use suggests inquiry TO its
source.

BRITISH WAR REPORTS.

c HORTLY after the publication Of official dis
patches announcing the success OF the British
- forces at Glencoe, near Dundee there came
from Pretoria a report giving the Boer version OF
the affair. The Pretoria account OF the results OF the
battle widely different from that by the
British, and The Call in commenting upon the dis
crepancy stated that the events to follow the next
few days would show which report was the more
accurate. There is now no longer any doubt on the
question The Beers were not defeated at Glencoe.
Their advance has been continuously forward, and
the British despite their claims OF victory have had
to fall back from every one OF their advanced posi-
tons
Notwithstanding the retreat of his army, notwith-
standing the imminent danger OF complete defeat
which threatens it at Ladysmith General White CON
tnues to send boastful dispatches to London an
nouncing victorious attacks on the Boer lines These
dispatches doubtless designed to be reassurng,
but they have ceased to have that effect. Reports
from London show that the people are in high state
OF anxiety concerning the situation, and compare
lively little trust is put the official assurances that
all is we'll

the floor OF the Commons it openly charged that
the Secretary of State for the Colonies was suppress

The charges were Indignantly repudiated but the re-
pudiaton only shifts the responsibility little further
back. Clearly the truth has not been told and if the
Ministers in London have not altered the dispatches
then the general the front has nisrcpresented the
facts.
Judged by the results, Weyler's dispatches OF vic
tories the Cubans were not more false and mis-
leading than those which the British authorities in
South Africa have sent concerning the battles OF

Over and over again British critics have denounced
