Forty Miles apart.

New YORK, Oct. 2S.--The navy de-
partmcnt continued its tests of the
Marconi system of wireless telegraphy
Friday The demon strations are be-
ing made on the flagship New York
and the battle ship Massachusetts, in
fourth street The ships lay 44s yards
apart and the demonstration was one
of speed and accuracy. Code mes
sages, using both the navy and
the international Morse codes,
were sent, besides numbers and
letters selected at random. The larg-
est continuous message was a news
paper article of 200 words. In all,
there were six demonstrations and the
work continued with intervals Of pre-
paration for about two hours. Signor
Marconi said he paid no attention to
the speed attained as the navy depart
ment was more particular as to the ac-
curacy.
The equipment overhead consisted
only of wires strung from the cross
beams of both vessels. On the New
York the apparatus was in the
after gun room, and here Signor Mar
conf did his work. On the Massachu-
setts the receiving and sending was
done in the captains Office, where one
of Marconi's assistants was stationed.
The clicking Of the instruments is vi
brant and could be heard throughout
either ship.
Of the naval board which is super
vising the tests, Lieut.. Commander
Newton and Lieut.. Hill watched the
work on the flagship and Lieut.. Bliss
was on the Massachusetts, When the
tests were concluded they held con-
ference on the New York and COM
pared notes. They will make a final
report to the chief of the bureau
of equipment of the navy de-
partment. Signor Marconi does not
know whether these preliminary
tests will be continued on Saturday
but it is expected that on Monday the
New York and the Massachusetts, will

make long distance test of the sys-
tenn. They may be away from the
anchorage for several days. At times
the vessels will be 40 miles from each
other and this will be the crucial
demonstration. If successful it will
prove how valuable the sys-
TEN would be during naval
engagement, or while fleet is block
aiding an enemy's coast. During the
long distance test the great guns of
the war ships will be discharged as a
further test.
None of the mem bers of the naval
board would give an opinion of the
work done by Signor Marconi.
Adm. Farquhar watched the dem
onstrations for time and seemed
greatly interested.

report of Auditor Henry A. Castle, of
the post Office department. for the fis-
cal year ended June 30, 1899, has been

house of the entire postal service.
The report shows a volume of transac-
tions aggregatirg about S640, 600, 900
for the fiscal year. The revenues
of the postal service were S95, O21,- =
3s4; expenditures of the postal service
$10l, ,632, l61; volume of money order
transaction SAP, 4s3, 354. There has
been an increase in both of these items
and in each one of the various SUBJ
divisions thereof, showing, the auditor
says, that the postal service is increas-
ing in all of it's parts, even keeping in
advance of the development of the
country in other respects.
The deficit in postal revenues was
R6, $40, 776-the smallest since 1899, and
only half that of 1897.
The number of post offices in the
United States on June so was a, 3S4,
