Secretary Alger doesn't appear to
care any more about being consistent
than he did about the welfare Of the
soldiers during the war. Several days
before congress adjourned, Alger an
nounced that the junket he had intended
to conduct to Cuba and Porto Rico was
off, because his official duties would
prevent his leaving Washington OF
course, it was we'll known that Alger
abandoned the intended junket because
he failed to get sufficient number of
democratic enators and representa-
tives to accept invitations to accompany
him. But for consistency's sake, il
was supposed that Alger would remain
on duty and make abluff of being busy.
Not he. He left Immediately after Mr..
Mckinley did, for trip to New Eng
land, which was extended to Canada,
and this week he is going to start for
Cuba and Porto Rico, but he won't car
ry any congressman with him. He says
he is going to pay the expenses of him
self and the two men who will accom-.
pany him, but it would require the
vouchers for the payments to convince
the public.

According to War Department Off
Gals, General Gomez will not receive a
dollar of the $4,000, 900 about to be dis
tributed, entirely on his say so, among
Cuban soldiers, by this government.
This statement has caused everybody
to wish to know where Gomez got the
money to pay for his present very ex-
travagant mode of living in Havana.
1t is known that previous to his begin
ming the negotiations with r. P. Por-
ter, who acted as Mr.. McKinley's per-
sonal representative, which resulted IN
the agreement to pay SO, 900, 900 for the
disarmament of the Cuban army, Gen.
Gomez had no money, and that ever
since then he has apparently had plen-
ty. Did Portor make an individual
payment of money to Gomez? If so,
how much, and from what fund was ii
derived? These are some of the ques-
tions suggested by the situation and
asked on every hand. Congress did
not appropriate cent to pay Cuban
soldiers, but there was an item added
to the Sundry Civil Bill by the last
congress, appropriating 100000 900 as
an emergency fund to be expended al
the discretion of the President. That is
the money that will be used, but if the
claim that Gomez has got none Of il
be true, the source from which Gomez
extracted the wealth to pay his present
enormous expenses is left a mystery
But it will be solved. The acting Sec
rotary of War says that the admins
tration intends to make Cuba repay
from it's revenues, this money.

that, on the SLY, you were for Mccarthy

Sure enough sure enough. But why
should Mr. Nantes republican organ
seek thus to embarrass Mr.. Clark's re-

receiver. All electrical action is recip-
rocal. 1t is found that copper reduced
to powder resists the passage of a
current. A tube filled with the powder
receives the current and carries it, bG.
with measurable resistance which
gives the response necessary to register
a signal, So delicate is this response
or resistance that an electric current
sent for miles through the air operates
a bell or a sounder and produces the
Morse signals just as a wire does.
The question has been raised whether
the curvature of the earth will limit
the Marconi messages, as it has limited
all previous attempts, the messages be-
ing sent between fixed points on very
high towers. as the Marconi messages
are, in fact. Well-known electricians
have expressed the belief that it is not
necessary to have a receiver set in line
with the transmitter, and if that
should prove to be fact it would he

Wireless Telegraphy.

1~HE recent announcement that
Marconi has sent messages a
distance of thirty-five miles
across the English channel, in all sorts
of weather, has opened up a wide field
for speculation. The sending of tele-
graph signals without wires is no nov
city. Twenty years ago it was thought
to be possible to signal to moving
train from way stations, but for some
reason. probably the difficulty of over
coming the atmospheric vibrati the
operation never got beyond the expert
mental stage.
The first question that is raised in
connection with wireless telegraphy is
how can the current be guided The
atmosphere, as well as the earth, is full
of electric currents, and a. first thought
it would seem that these must divert
the messages. The answer is that Mar
conf does not turn his electrical signals
loose without guidance. He sends an
electric current in a straight line, eX-
actly as a ray of light is sent by refec-
ton from mirror. The electric current
is received DIT lne point OF destination
in "coherer" or a tube of powdered
metal. 1t is found that electricity
passes through the air in straight lines,
as light does. 1t refracts also, as light
does, but the main electric ray, not
light but electric energy, goes in a di-
rect line just as a light ray does to it's
limit of carrying power. Thus teleg-
raphing in the air is like flash signal
ing in the air, except that light is not
needed, and clouds and fogs do not
seem to be a bar When it reaches its
destination it must have a sympathetic

Which Did Most Toward Defeat ?

n rOT even the local-amateur per-
m Torrance of THE Triumph of
Love- in the Margaret theater,
admirable as it was in every respect,
can be deemed as sprtely a contribu-
ton to the gaiety of nations as the
jangle is into which our two Butte re-
publican contemporaries have fallen, as
the sequel of their. defeat at last Mon
days election.
Misguided by dishonest reports that
appear to have reached Miles City. Col.
Sam Gordon's Yellowstone Journal
which often tries to be truthful, arose,
one day last week to remark that the
result in Butte was a republican VIC
'tory-evdently Colonel Sam had been
reading the Miner: manifestly he took
that publication too seriously
OF course. the Yellowstone Journals
little slip was harmless, and the Min
er's right policy was to keep just as still
as it could But everybody knows what
the Miners weakness is-it was foolish
enough to take up Colonel Gordons re-
mark and to try to amend it by saying
that it, the Miner cannot entirely agree
with the Yellowstone Journal.
Thus the Miner is gradually getting
around to the Standards statement Of
last Mondays results Mccarthy, the
regular democratic nominee for mayer,
whom the Miner opposed, after order
ing him to get off the ticket was elected
with a good, round ma jority. Mccarthy
was the head of the ticket-hs election
confessedly carried with it Butte's en-
dorsement of the democratic conven-
TONS ringing resolution in denuncia.ion
Of Clark bribery.
The republicans, whom the Miner sup
ported, won some of the minor Offices
last Monday. The Yellowstone Journal
evidently took the Miners word for il
that the Butte election was in fact a
republican victory; and now presto, the
Miner says that the journal is wrong.
Therell be an accounting with some
body next time the Hon. Sam G. visits
Butte.
But this funny controversy has al
ready put on three cornered proper
lions. Inc Butte Inter Mountain, for
merry slver-republican newspaper,
made common cause with the Miner
in Butte, in advocacy of the gold-re-
publican ticket. The difference is that
the Inter Mountain apparently is proud
of what it did While the Miner-well. the
Miner hasn't Yet got around to a real
clear understanding of just how it does
feel.
But it is plain that the Inter Noun
tain looks with disdain on the Miners
officiousness in giving the republicans
credit for the splendid work they did"
Seeing how the Miner is trying to
crawl in under the Mccarthy tent, the
Inter Mountain shouted essentially this
at its recent ally, last evening: What
do you, the Miner, mean? You profess
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-04-09

at least as quarterly, the positive sale
of the Anaconda properties; for some
reason or other it has been the long
cherished hearts desire of the Miner to
have almost anybody else than the
present owners get possession of the
Anaconda mines and plant Why this
should have been, the Standard does
not undertake to say. All that need be
remarked just now is that during all
these years the Miner has periodically,
stuck with rare fidelity to what wasn't
true.
Since the democrats carried Butte
and elected Mccarthy mayor. the Inter
Mountains Anaconda correspondence
has been conducting a series of trans
actions in local business properties on
a regular Coal-Oil Johnnie scale. The
thing the Inter Mountain has up its
sleeve was not ripe for giving away as
recently as last Thursday: it might be
consummated within "a hours. but posi-
lively within 10 days" The promoters
of this mysterious scheme are Ana
conda men and Butte menEso the In
ter Mountain says. A leading industry
is involved. and the affair will cut an
important figure" in the business world
and it will carry with it "a damaging
effect on the future of Montana
This prediction was given out on the
afternoon of last Thursday. Enough
will be known in a day or two to make
the deal public" the Inter Mountain
then said. The day or two is up; the
public isn't any wiser up to the pres
ent writing than it was last Thursday.
Still, the Inter Mountain filed a caveat
by remarking that the "consummation''
of the big deal itself-,although not the
pubic's knowledge of it-might take
more time. Anyhow and anyway the
Inter Mountain promised that the whole
transaction will be consummated with
in ten days. By the clock, ten days
from last Thursday afternoon will be
the afternoon of next Sunday, April 16.
The Inter Mountain has time, and the
Montana business world has a week in
which to prepare for Damaging eff
feet"
L ne bHly Iedl News we kflOW Oh re-
lating to recent big deals in Montana
properties was printed in yesterday
mornings Standard. 1t was a summary
of items touching the reported sale of
the Heinze properties, sent by the
Standards New York correspondent
and based on statements that appeared
in the press of that city Friday night.
1t was an unusually interesting item of
news, for the printing of which there
was ample warrant-it was legitimate
news.
On inquiry at the Butte headquarters
of the HeinZe properties, the Standard
could obtain no information in con-
firmation or denial of the New York
story. That's natural enough; the mat
ter is one of so great significance that.
very properly, no attache of the HeinZe
company in Butte would feel at lib
erty to talk. If this big deal'' goes,
Mr.. Heinze will be open to merited con-
gratulations on his success in having
brought to successful conclusions a
transaction of proportions so large At
the same time they will be in luck who
become the owners of copper properties
of the sterling quality of those in which
Butte is singularly rich.
