MARCONI SYSTEM TEST.
Successful Experiment by Prof. Je-
rome J. Greene at Chicago.

CHICAGO, April 22.-Prof Jerome j.
Green, the new disciple of Marconi, sat at
his receiving instrument placed on the
eighth floor of the Marquette building to-
night and received telegraphic signals sent
via the air line from the Tribune building,
two blocks away. 1t meant success for
his wireless telegraphy experiment for that
distance, and was triumph for the young
scientist over conditions which were ex-
ceedingly unfavorable. The first test OF the
day when an attempt was made TO COM
municate from the Dearborn Station at
Polk street TO the Tribune building. had
proved a failure. Subsequent investigation
disclosed the fact that local disturbances
at the sending station probably were re-
sponsibIc. In the second experiment sig
nails were transmitted clearly and accu-
rately from one room TO another through
walls and three thick doors. The second
test sent the dots and dashes TO the sound
er across Dearborn street TO the Hartford
building instantaneously and without a
break. Then Prof. Green consented 10 make
the test over the long distance and the ap-
paratus was transferred TO the Marquette
building. a distance of about 80 yards. The
vertical wire was lowered from the six
teenth floor and the receiver was placed on
the eighth floor. When all was ready for
the trial word was sent through the tele-
phone to the sending station. where the pro-
fessors assistant, Albert kachur, was wait
ing the command. The trial was success

PAPER TRUST DOOMED.
Opposition Mills Can Put on the Mar
ket 300 Tons n Day.

CHICAGO, April 22-According to the
statement of a Western newspaper dealer
the paper trust is meeting considerable op-
position in the East and will not be able TO
control all the paper used by the newspapers
in this country. A paper company of Chi
cago, which resisted the overtures of the
trust, controls the output of four large mills
in Wisconsin, with a capacity of 175 tons of
print paper a day and also that Of two
eastern mills which will be able in a short
time to turn out 125 tons day. new mill
equipped with the latest and most improved
machinery is being erected. The trust con-
trolls mills that produce 100 tons a day. AS
the opposition can put on the market 300 tons
a day. the dealer said, the trust will not be
able 10 control, and the newspapers of the
country will not be at its mercy. The West
ern dealers who handle the trust product are
said TO be not altogether satisfied with the
trusts methods of doing business and there
has been some talk of these dealers forming
a combination of their own and erecting
print paper mill at a central point large
enough to furnish all the paper required by
their newspaper customers.

CoGHLAN,s FIRST SPEECH.


NEW YORK, April 22.-At the Union
League Club last night, where the officers
of the United States cruiser Raleigh were
entertained Captain j. Il. Coghlan made
a speech in response 10 calls, in which ne
paid a glowing tribute 10 Admiral Dewey
Every day We were with him." he said.
1--WE learned more and more TO love him
and more and more how the cOuntry's in
terests were safe in his hands and how he
could do nothing but that which would
dOund 10 the country's credit. Through all
those long weary months of wait and the
most outrageous naGgng that anybody
could suffer. wearing him 10 the very bone,
he held himself and he held Us up with
him."
Then Captain Coghlan told the following
story OF his admiral: An officer OF our
friend Admiral Won Diedrich came down
one day to make complaint IL was my
pleasure TO step out on the quarter deck
just as he came aboard. 1t was partly by
accident and partly by design 1 heard him
tell the admiral about his complaint and
heard the admiral reply:
Tell your admiral those ships of his
must stop when / say 50. L wish to make
the blockade OF this harbor complete
The German officer replied: But we fly
the flag
THE reply OF the admiral was just like
Dewey He said: Those hags can be bought
at half a dollar yard anywhere
There was no fun in that expression OF
the admiral. He told the officer that any
one could fly a German flag. and that a
whole Spanish fleet might come upon him
with German flags up. Then he drew back
and stroked his mustache. lie has great
habit OF stroking his mustache when he
gets mad He said:
Tell your admiral / am blcckading here.
Now note carefully what / say. and tell your
admiral that i say IL. L have been making
this blockade as easy for everybody as

Chocolate King, did not acquire the Island
Of Anticosti from the government OF the
Province of Quebec as stated in the article
in the English press, to which the right

that inherent sovereign power which is pos
sessed by the crown over all land within her
Majesty's dominions.
