MARCONI'S SYSTEM
Coming Experiments With Wireless
Telegraphy.
TESTS BY THE ARMY and TIE NAVY
Possible Fight With the Cuban
Cable Monopoly.
THE INVENTORS STATEMENT

The United States government is deeply
interested in the result of the experiments
now being made with the Marconi system
of wireless telegraphy in connection with
the reporting of the international yacht
races off Sandy Hook These tests are be-
ing closely watched by representatives Of
the government, and are, in fact, merely
preliminary to more severe and extensive
tests to be conducted by the inventor in
person under the supervision of military
and naval experts. The vast possibilities
of the system for the purposes of the gov
ernment are recognized and appreciated by
the federal officials, and they have ar
ranged for a practical demonstration of its
utility and merits.
Gen. Greedy, chief Of the signal service
of the army, and Admiral Bradford, chief
of the bureau Of equipment of the navy
are the leading representatives of the gov
ernment. In fact, it was largely through
the personal efforts of Gen. Greedy that
Prof. Marconi was induced to come to the
United States at this time to conduct the
proposed experiments AS already indi-
Gated, the reporting of the yacht races is
only preliminary to the more important
work which Mr.. Marconi will be called on
to perform for the government in the next
few weeks.

PREDICTS A LONG WAR.
Bertram Milford Discusses Impend-
ing South African Trouble.

LONDON, October 10.-The Daily News
this morning publishes the report of an in
terview with Bertram Milford, the South
African novelist, who spent twenty-five
years among the Cape Dutch in which Mr..
Milford predicts that victory will only be
attained by the British after a long, bloody
and costly war. He says:
1.-The Beers will fight like devils. The
Jameson raid reused them. and ever since
then they have been preparing for war.
and practicing shooting, and they will re-
sist to the bitter end. I don't believe the
Beers will incite the natives against Eng
land but 1t is impossible to say what the
natives will do. The Basutos are loyal to
the queen. but hate the Free State. Though
1t would be bad thing for white suprem-
acy if the Basutos were to rise and conquer
the Free State, yet it would be hardly pos
sib!e to prevent them.
The Swazis are equally bitter against
the Transvaal and it would need little en-
couragement to lead them to attack the re-

from the Zulus, but the Matabele and Ma
shonas might try to repeat the horrors of

proposed Naval mentS.
In addition to the Investigation now in
progress by board of naval officers, Ad-
| nral Bradford will endeavor to arrange
with the inventor to duplicate the British
fleet maneuvers of last summer, with a
view to the use of the system in block
aiding operations. In furtherance of this
plan it is probable that the cruiser New
York and the battle ship Texas will be
equipped with the necessary instruments
and a shore station established at Atlantic
Highlands, near New York. The naval ex-
periments will be made under the general
direction of Rear admiral Farquhar, who
will be in command of the North Atlantic
squadron after the 18th instant He is
thoroughly interested in the scheme and
will do all he can to contribute to It's sue

miral Bradford and the officers who have
One of these officers is quoted as saying
that the yacht race reports have shown
that the system is practicable for general
operation at sea, and that a practical test
Is all that is needed to demonstrate its
utility for naval and military purposes. If
the tests are successful the system will ur1-
doubtedly be adopted by the government
and the military and naval forces in the
Philippines will be speedily supplied with
the necessary instruments and apparatus.

1t vii also be found Of great advantage
in the operations of the lighthouse and life
saving establishments, and its use by mer-
Giant vessels for shore communication in
case of disaster and even under more ord-
nary circumstances would naturally follow.
According to one authority the establish
ment of the system on all ships and at all
lighthouse stations and dangerous points
along the coast would prevent shipWrecks;
the confused mariner could locate his ship
i'll a storm and distressed vessels could be
quickly aided. The English and Italian
governments have already adopted the
wireless apparatus and are using 1t with
great success. 1t is therefore not improba-
bic that the United States will follow their
example. The main advantage of the wire
less system in coast work Is said to be it's
ease of operation in motion in all kinds
of weather and in spite of such obstacles
as rock, cif, hill, wood or water. The
ordinary means Of communication are en-
tlrely unsuited to some of the important
kinds Of work which are said to be easy of

A MECHANICAL HOOTER.
A Shrek Which "a Genius Wanted the
Government to Buy.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
"All sorts of freak devices have been sub
mitted to the government since the begin
ming of the war" said an officer lately on
department duty at Washington, but the
uueerest Of the lot was undoubtedly the
mechanical hooter' You never heard of 1t,
of course, but you would if you had been
within half a mile of the war office about a
month ago. The hooter is the invention of
an Iowa gentleman and consists of a wood
en- tube about the size of a four-fnch Sec
ton of bologna sausage. Stretched across
the aperture Is piece of perforated raw
hide, and when blown into 1T emits a
strange and blood-chilling howl-something
absolutely indescribable IN Words-a sort Of
cross between the shrek of a buzz saw
when it strikes a nail and the lower regis
ter of an adult steam calliope. 1t is the
sort of noise 1 imagine hippopotamus
might make during an attack OF mem
branouS Group.
1;ut the scheme of the inventor was real
ly not so bad. He pointed out in his letter
that the yell played very prominent part
ing effect of the rebel yelB was freely ad-
mitted by all northern generals during the
civil and history has repeated itself
in the recent campaigns II was the yell of
the Rough Riders as they went up San
Juan hill that scared the Spaniards out Of
their trenches and the Kansas yell has
spread more terror among the Filipinos
than all the Gatling; guns put together.
From these facts he argued very logically
that a mechanical hooter. augmenting
magnifying and supplementing the natural
voice, would greatly Increase the efficiency
voice, would greatly increase the eff
ficiency of our troops. A company on a
charge, suddenly hooting IN chorus, would
strike dismay into the hearts of the
bravest foe. An American soldier hump
ing and hooting over rice field would
cause any Filipino aliye to Immediately lose
interest in the sacred, cause of freedom and

At least such was the claim Of the in
ventor, and after hearing the machine tried

was instructed to return the sample and
say that in the opinion of the department
