WILL TELEGRAPH
WITHOUT WIRES

New York, March 30.-Nicola Tesla,
while expressing interest in Signor Mar
coni's achievement of telegra phng across
the British channel without wires, shows
his admiration temperately, however
because he expects in a short time to go
the young Italian a great many better.
Marconi has tcleSra phed 80 miles with
out wires. Tesla expects to telegraph
5000 miles. Marconi's achievement
which caused so much amazement in
scientific as well popular circles, will,
according to Mr.. Tesla, be improved on
very soon.
.'Thirty-two miles," he said. that is
not far. Not far enough to give a hint
OF the real possibilities of wireless tele-
graphy. When l complete the work
which has absorbed me for the past two
wears | shall do much more than that"
"iiOw far do you expect to telegrap ph
Mr.. Tesla?"
From here to Europe" he replied.
"The necessary things is to protect these
conductors from outside influences, to in
SUI fn them completely. as it were. / be-
lieve / have done this"

Affair is Regretted

Washington, March 30.-The state de-
partment has not received official adVices
relating to the occurrences in Samoa. The
demonstration is regretted but the opin-
ion is expressed that kautz acted on
what was his best judgment and Informal
tion at the state department acknoW-
ledees no permanent agreement can be
reached under the treaty in which all
three powers do not agree and the hope
Is some settlement of the difficulty may
be brought about when it becomes appar-
ent the present conditions cannot exist
indefinitely. Kautz acted within his in
structions. There Is no doubt with the
facts now at hand kautz will be sustain
ed by the United States government. No
word has been received from Kautz al
though a cablegram is momentarily eX-
pected.
