Last year quiet effort was made TO
induce the war department To remove from
Omaha to Kansas City the headquarters of
the department OF Missouri The old post
office building at Ninth and Walnut streets
will, some time, we hope. be vacated and
will make an ideal place for the head
quarters OF this department The purchas-
ing agents for the government in the past
have agreed with that at this point
is the most logical place for the purchase
Of supplies both for the war department
and the department of the interior. Last
year one of our members read most eX-
cellent paper on the subject of locating a
branch of the United States mint at Kan
SaS City. also branch of the bureau Of
engraving and printing and d subtreasury.
We may not get all Of these but a Wig
orous effort should be made; and eSpe-
cialiy directed toward securing the pur-
chasing agency of the government at this
point. Ry reason of its geographical lOca-
| ton, richness in natural resources of
tributary territory. and the design of its
founders. Kansas City was intended as Il

NO TALK OF TREASON.
Secretary of the Navy Long FIatly
Denies Sensational Story.

Secretary of the Navy Long FIatly
Denies a Sensational Story.
WASHINGTON, April PA cabinet
officer Is authority for an absolute de-
NAL of the story that the cabinet yester-
day discussed an alleged conspiracy in
this country to weaken the United States
in the Philippines.
Secretary Long, in answer to a direct
inquiry, said the statement was errone-
Gus that the cabinet had been charging
any person or set of persons in the United
States with treason. That was as far as
he cared to make any statement.
Inquiry develops that the probable ba-
sis for the story is some exchanges OF
opinions that have taken place, not only
among cabinet officers, but among the
close friends of the administration, ever
since the submission Of the peace treaty
to the senate for it's action to the general
effect that the delays that were being in
terposed to speedy action upon the treaty
were harmful. 1t was said that great en-
couragement had been given to Aguinaldo
by the attitude of the opponents of the
presidents policy among American pub
lie men,
Since the conclusion of the peace nego-
tiations and the exchange of ratifications
there have also been some expressions On
the part of adherents of the president g
policy as to the ill-effect upon the public
and soldiers not actually at the front, OF
frequent publication of letters from dis
satisfied volunteers In the Philippines.
1t may be said that the expressions
were rather In the nature of regrets than
complaints, but, as summed up by a cab
met officer, there has been no disposi-
ton to attach personal blame to indi-
viduals, but rather to note radical diff
ferences of opinion.

PRESIDENTS PLANS.
Will Go to Philadelphia and Later
to the West.

WASHINGTON. April 22.-The arrange
ments for the trip Of the president and
party to Philadelphia on the occasion of
the unveiling of the Grant statue on the
9th inst. are about completed. The par
ty will leave here early next Thursday
morning, and, arriving at Philadelphia,
will go to the Bellevue hotel AT o clock
they will attend the unveiling ceremonies,
and at 6 o'clock will dine at the Union
League club. At $ o'clock they will at
tend the exercises IN the Academy of Mu-
sic. On Friday morning the president will
GO aboard the Raleigh, lying in the har-
Dor. No time has been set for the return
to Washington.
During the third week in June the pres
ident will attend the commencement ex-
ercises at Mount Holyoke seminary,
South Hadley, Mass, from which his
niece, Miss Grace Mckinley, will grad
uate at that time. 1t is possible that the
presidents contemplated Western trip
may follow Immediately his visit to
Mount Holyoke, although tho plans have
not yet been perfected.

failure. Subsequent investigation dis
closed the fact that local disturbances at
the sending station probably were re-
sponsible. In the second experiment
signals were transmitted clearly and ac-
curately from one room to another.
through walls and three thick doors. The
second test sent the dots and dashes to
the sounder across Dearborn street to
the Hartford building, instantaneously
and without break. Then Prof. Green
consented to make the test over the
longer distance and the apparatus was
transferred to the Marquette building, a
distance Of about 100 yards. The verti-
cal wire was lowered from the sixteenth
floor and the receiver was placed on the
eighth floor. When all was ready for
the trial word was sent through the tel
ephone to the sending station, where the
professors assistant, Albert Kachur, was
awaiting the command. The trial was a
success. Further experiments will be
made on Monday.

to effect electric sympathy-Wireless tele-
graphy-over great distances. So that at
present research in wireless telegraphy
is being prosecuted partly on what one
may call the Preece induction expert
ments; and, more lately, on the Lodge
earth-leakage experiments.
INDUCTIvE METHOD.
OF Mr.. Preeces inductive method 1t is
hardly necessary to say more-and one
cannot say less-than that it is the only
system actually and commercially at
work. Telegraphic communication by
means of induced currents is carried on
In the Bristol channel between the main
land ana two small islands, Flathom and
Steepholm, distances of three and a half
and four and a half miles, great leng tbs
of wire being stretched parallel to one
another along the islands and the main
Iand- Mf Preece once attempted an ex-
pertinent on far greater scale. One
Sunday night in 1895 the whole of the
telegraphic system of Great Britain was
suspended for two hours, while the trunk
lines running north and south down the
middle OF England were connected in ore
long circuit, and a similar circuit parallel
to tho first was connected up in Ireland.
1t was hoped that along these great par
alel lines Of wire currents might be in
duced to respond to one another. The
experiment, however owing to causes
not explained, failed; though many
strange, irrelevant signals and sounds
were heard along the wires. 1t would
be bold thing to say that nothing,
therefore, Is to be expected in the way of
long distance wireless telegraphy by in-
duction
CONDUCTIVE METHOD.
But 1t is DR.. Lodges opinion that no
great distances can be attained by meth
DDS of simple induction such as this
without the expenditure CT an enormous
and dispropcrtionate amount of electric
force and the use of great lengths OF
wire. Leaving alone the question wheth-
er the action and reaction between the
two copper hoops of our illustration are
due TO induction or "earth-leakage,'' he
proposes an alteration in the hoops them
selves. The two hoops must be made
electrically similar The electric cir
cults between which signals are to be
sent must be "syntonised''- which, at the
risk of being too technical, one may de-
fine as being made of the same natural
frequency of electric vibration One
cannot explain them more particularly
than this without entering on electrical
theories rather inappropriate to the col
umns of newspaper. But a comparison
which may help to a comprehension of
the "syntony" Of two circuits may be
taken from an experiment with two tun-
Ing forks. If violin bow is drawn
across one tuning fork so as to make it
emit musical note, then another tuning
fork of the same "syntony'' or period
of vibration-of the same note, in short
will. if placed in the neighborhood, echo
the note. The "syntonic" arrangement
of DR.. Lodges electric circuits, coupled
with new form Of detecting vibrations
transmitted from one to the other, con-
stitute what may be called the stock-in-
trade of the newest form of wireless te-
legraphy.

mandfng - An Investigation by
Is Necessary.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 22.-
Friends of Gen. Miles, who are supposed
to enjoy his confidence, say that should
the board of inquiry now investigating
his embalmed-beef charges render an ad-
verse decision he will ask that the mem
bers be court martialed on the grounds
that they did not well and truly inquire
into the charges preferred and render a
verdict In accordance with the testimony
and evidence. They represent that Gen.
Miles believes the evidence given before
tn court shows that the beef used by
the army was bad, and chemically treat
ed, and they say he holds that should the
court fail to render a verdict substantial
ing his charges and exculpating him the
members will be subject to trial them
selves.
This view is not taken by officials of
the judge advocate generals Office and
other authorities on military law. The
court that has been hearing the evidence
is only authorized to make an inquiry
and has no power to punish Gen. Miles
or any other officer. When it's investiga-
ton is completed 1t will report to the
president, who appointed it. The presi-
dent must decide whether the recon-
mendations will be accepted or rejected.
DEPENDS UPON PRESIDENT.
Should the court suggest the court
martial Of Gen. Miles on the ground that
he preferred charges which he could not
substantiate, the president can set aside
or order the court. No one, it Is con-
tended. has authority to submit the mem
bers of the court to trial for the conclu-
sions they may reach. The court is act
ing as an investigating committee, and
should it's decision be, unfavorable to
Gen. Miles, and should the president
sustain 1T, the commanding general could
then demand court martial to try him.
self, provided the president does not an
ticipate linn by ordering him before such
a body.
Gen. Miles friends claim that one Of
the members of the court of inquiry Is
personally unfriendly to the general and
used his influence to prevent the promo
ton Of Gen. Miles to the rank of lieu
tenant general There seems to be more
reason to accept the rumor in circula
ton that Gen. Miles friends in congress
will obtain for him a congressional in
vestigation should there be any suspic-
ion of withdrawing" in the report Of
the inquiry board
A committee authorized by act of con-
gress to examine the charges of Gen.
Miles could make a sweeping inquiry
that would in substance be an invesiga-
ton Of the management Of the war de-
partment during the war with Spain.
and an attempt will be made upon the
assembling Of congress to have such an
inquiry ordered, provided Gen. Miles in
the meantime does not succeed in vim
dicating himself.
