TELEPHONING AT SEA.

An experiment made recently by the
naval authorities as to the possibility
of effecting telephone connection be-
tween ships at sea by means of kites
is said to have been quite satisfactory.
4 kite attached to a wire was sent up
from a ship, one end of the wire be
ing retained and the other left float
ing free. The wire was carried tow
ards II. 3. NJ. s. Dauntless, lying at a
considerable distance to leeward, ana
was easily secured on board and con-
nected with a telephone apparatus. 4
number of messages were exchanged
between the two ships without Difficult
ty. and it is believed the method might
prove very serviceable not only as a
means of communication between the
ships at sea but between vessels and
die coast in cases of distress or of
wreck off a lee shore.

The St. Petersburg correspondent Of
the Daily Mail says: Privy Councillor
Solomon of the prison administration
has Just returned here from "a five
months tour of the prisons and exile
colonies of the Russian government in
Siberia and the island of Saghalien, off
the east coast of Asia. He has fur
nished the chief points of his per-
sonal report to the car. Its leading
feature is Salomons conclusion that
Punishment is useless and undesirable
as a form of punishment, because it
produces the complete moral degra2a-
ton of the exile.
Solomon found the prisons in western
Siberia in a fair condition, with no
sign of overcrowding or art; but in
eastern Siberia, the conditions were
not quite the same. The prisons were
filthy and hospitals crowded like pig
stys. He dismissed two of the dlrec-
TORS of prisons for cruelty and embaz-
Element and eighty minor officials for
cruelty. He has drafted a Comprehen-
sive system of reform in prison treat
ment, greatly ameliorating existing
conditions, providing payment for pc
nal work and facilities for settling in
Siberia on the expiration of sentences.
He believes his suggested reforms will
be speedily adopted by the car.

ment as would apply to the speed Of au-
tomobiles. In his consideration of the
matter he became convinced that 1t would
be advisable to SO amend the regulations
as to make them applicable to all horse
less vehicles, including coasting sleds and
even baby carriages and wheelbarrows
Mr.. Pugh will therefore recommend that
section % of article 10 of the police regu-
lations be amended by inserting after the
word bicycle in the first line of said
section the words ''or other horseless yehi-
cle," so that the section shall read as fol-
lows: mo bicycle or other horseless We
hicle shall be propelled across any inter-
secting streets on which there are car
tracks in the city of Washington at a
greater rate of speed than six miles an
hour, nor at a greater rate of speed between
iHtersecting streets and avenues or cross
streets on which there are no car lines
than twelve miles an hour, nor at a greater
rate of speed on any public street or road
way outside of said city than fifteen miles
an hour" etc.
Mr.. Pugh does not contend that baby
carriages or wheeibarrows have been or
are likely to be propelled here at an I'M
lawful speed but he does contend that
coasting seds are very frequently propelled
at almost lightning speed down the streets
and roads and across them. when there is
sufficient snow or ice, and he has found
that until some such amendment is made
there will be no law to prevent such dam
gerous speed. The regulat tons have been
amended by the Commissioners as suggest
ed by Mr.. Pugh.

Green, although he commenced his studv
here, has had the advantage of four years
instruction abroad, three of which were
under that master of the violin. Ysaye
That he has improved his advantages was
evident from his playing His work
showed the results of careful train

this there was the manifest possession of
musical temperament. These qualities
give promise of future excellence that II is
somewhat nervous at first but this wore

instrument and himself. His selections were
Cesar Franck's Sonata which he played
with Mrs. Lent; Vieuxtemps' Reverie Mu-

Scotch Fantasy. Mrs. Lent played with
that artistic finish that is so characteristic
of all her work, and contributed q full
share in the enjoyment of the sonata Mr.
Green had also the assistance of Mrs

Settlement of Samoan Claims.

A separate treaty was negotiated to cover
the provisions for the settlement of claims
in Samoa. 1t sets forth that the three gov
ernments are "desirous of effecting a
prompt and satisfactory settlement CT the
claims of the citizens and subjects of their
respective countries resident in the Samoan
Islands on account Of recent military oper-
atoms conducted there, and have concluded
a convention for the accomplishment Of
this end by arbitration
The King of Sweden and Norway is made
arbitrator, and he is not only to determine
the amount of claims, but Is to decide to
what extent either of the three govern
ments is bound, alone or jointly with the
others, to make good these losses
The nature of the claims to be adjusted
is set forth in article l. of this treaty, as
follows:
"Ar claims put forward by American citi-
Zens or German or British subjects, re-
spectiVely, whether individuals or compa-
MES, for compensation on account of losses
which they allege that they have suffered
in consequence of unwarranted military &C
ton, if this be shown to have occurred, on
the part of Americans, German or British
officers, between the LIST of January last
and the arrival of the joint commission in
Samoa shall be decided by arbitration in
conformity with the principles of interna-
tional law or considerations of equity"
There is also provision to the effect that
"either of the three governments named
with the consent of the others, previously
obtained in every case, submit to the king
for arbitration similar claims of persons
not being natives. who are under the pro-
lection of that government, and who are
not included in the above mentioned cate
CORES.
The agreement provides for the exchange
of notifications four months from the date
of It's signature, which is the 7th of No
vember last, or earlier If possible.

Bradbury Warerooms.

The piano business is evidently very pros
porous, judging from the number Of fine
Instruments the Bradbury factory ware
rooms at 1925 Pennsylvania avenue are
sending out every day. This firms bus
mess is conducted on a broad and liberal
basis, MT only as regards low prices, but
easy terms Being manufacturers, and
making their own pianos, they are enabled
to sell them at first cost, thus saving the
dealers profits. and as they have unlim-
tied capital they can afford to give easier
terms than any other firm in the city. They
are now holding their annual Christmas
reduction sale, which bids fair to be the
most successful in their history. 1t is not
to be wondered at, for fine, high-grade
pianos of reliable makes were never Of
fered so cheaply before.
Those who have visited the warerooms
have been very much interested in the
splendid showing of Bradbury uprights in
the new style cases, including duplicates of
the Bradbury upright in the White House.
The Bradbury factory is in need of square
pianos for their country trade, and in order
to secure them at once make the very lib
eral offer to give the owners Bradbury up
rights in exchange for them and require no
cash payment until after Christmas.

Status of Married Women So EmpIOy-
ed Announced.
The status Of married women as post Of
flee clerks is announced in a statement
made today by First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath in response to inquiries as
to the effect of his recent ruling on the sub
ject. He says:
Il notice that some newspapers and vari-
Gus persons have made an effort to inter-
pret my ruling to mean that all married
women must leave the postal service: that
wherever married woman is now an en-
ploye in post Office she must Immediately
resign. No such meaning was ever in
tended.
The cases upon which l made ruling
were of two clerks in one post Office who
married. lie woman insisted upon re-
naming upon the pay roll, the same as be-
fore marriage.
Il held that, under the circumstances,
the presence of husband and wife as clerks
in the same office was, in the first place.
infmical to the service. and, in the second
place, that the woman should vacate and
permit her husband to support her, thus
allowing her position to go to some one
who had no means of support l intend,
however, to apply this ruling to female
clerks in post offices who in the future
marry.
When a woman gets married she Ger
tainlN must have some visible means of
support in the person of her husband
There are. 10000 competent and deserving
unmarried women in this country who will
be glad to take each position vacated by
the woman who marries, and who will have
a husband upon whom she should depend
for support. Women who are already mar
RED and are enjoying positions as post
office clerks, 3Dd whose employment under
their married names has been approved by
the department. will not be disturbed UNI
