POLLAK-VIRAG SYSTEM.
Experimental Tests Made From
New York to Chicago.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Experimental
tests of the Pollak-Virag rapid teleg-
raphy system were made on Sunday
over 1,039 miles Of wire between city
and Chicago. Signals, consisting Of the
letters of the alphabet from A to G
were sent at the rate of $4,000 an hour,
but, owing to the great amount of in
duction to be overcome and interference
and interruptions with the WIRE no
actual messages We're transmitted. 1t
is asserted that the system, which has
been successfully operated up to 700
miles, will work at 1000 miles or more
when a good wire is obtained and a
sufficient battery power provided.
In the experiments here two ordinary
telegraph wires were used to form
complete metallic circuit, and the
ground connections commonly en-
ployed in telegraphing were dispensed
with. Josef Virag, one of the in
ventors, was at this end of the wire,
while Herr Pollak was in Chicago.
When the wires were finally found
to besclear the signals were sent. They
had previously been punched in a roll
of tape by a perforator similar to that
used in the Wheatstone system. The
tape was passed through transmitter
containing a metal cylinder revolving
at a high rate of speed Bearing down
upon the tape were two needles. At
each perforation needle completed the
circuit and made dot and dash at the
ether end oft he line. A small electric
motor operated the transmitter. In
order to carry the signals through to
Chicago, it was found that a current Of
Is volts was necessary.
After the signals had been sent
through the apparatus to Chicago an
operator, using the ordinary key, tele-
graphed back that they had been re-
ceived all right. At this juncture the
time for changing from day to night
wires arrived and the circuit was inter-
rupted at Buffalo. The experiments
were then postponed to another Gay.

SENATOR sHoUP's ONION.
Time is Ripe for Action With Re-
spect to Hawaii and Porto Rico.

BOISE Qdaho), Nov. ~. = Senator
Shoup and family left to-day for Wash
ington, but will stop a day in Salt
Lake. In an interview before leaving
the Senator said the time was ripe, in
his opinion, for Congress to take action
with respect to Hawaii and Porto Rico.
He said we know as much now about
the needs of those islands as we could
know after another year, and he
favored the enactment of such legis-
lation as shall appear to be necessary.
He did not think it would be practicable
to legislate for the Philippines or for
Cuba at this time.
Speaking of Cuba, the Senator sale
he was in favor of continuing the oc-
cupation until the leading people of the
island shall have had full opportunity
to determine what they desire for the
future. After they have had this op-
portunity to make up their minds in
telligently on the subject the question
of the future of the islands should be
put to a vote among them. If they
then desire annexation to the United
States they will so declare at the ballot
box, "and," the Senator added, IF they
decide lin favor of annexation every
body in the United States will be glad
of it,"
Referring particularly to the Philip
pines, the Senator said he favored the
policy Of crushing the rebellion. He
was of the opinion that the war proper
was at an end, but there would prob
ably be a guerrilla campaign main
tanned for a year.
sOur particular business now" he
said, sis to put down the rebellion. 1t
will be time enough after that to talk
about the future of the islands,

DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE.
Another Story as to How the War
ship Was DESTROYED.

NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-The "World'
tomorrow will publish letter from
Havana stating that United States Off
cials, after months of secret inyestiga-
tion, have discovered that the battle
ship Maine was blown up by guncotton
torpedoes placed in the bay for the
purpose. The guncotton, seven hundred
pounds of which was used, was sent
from Barcelona to Admiral Manterola,
commanding the port of Havana, was
either stolen from the magazine where
the stuff was stored or taken away
with the knowledge of the officials in
charge.
Admiral Manterolas records will un-
ordinates who had direct control of the
explosives, and in that way the identity
of the authors and the executioners of
the plot to destroy the Maine may be
discovered.
Two or three men were engaged in
the destruction of the Maine. A steam
launch of Spanish make, now used by
the United States Government in Ha-
vana harbor, conveyed the two tor
pedoss, according to the new evidence,
to a point with few feet of the berth
torpedoes were kept in position by
means of buoys fioated eleven feet un-
der water, ten feet above the anchors
used to prevent them from being swept
away. The torpedoes were exploded by
contact with the keel of the Maine as
she swung at anchor.

FoRrY-EIGHT HOUR RACE.
The Struggle at Kansas City Crow
ing Keener.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 26.-As the
great forty -eight-hour bicycle race at
Convention Hall draws to a close the
struggle between the five leaders grows
keener and interest among the spec
tators is likewise enhanced. To-day
one of the biggest crowds of the meet
witnessed the race. During the after

NO TRUTH IN THE REPORT.
Tutuila is More Valuable to Us
Than the Caroline Islands.

NEW YORK, Nov. ga special to
the Herald from Washington says:
1t is stated authoritatively that there
is no truth in the report from Berlin
that Secretary Hay proposed to sur
render American rights in the Samoan
group in exchange for the Caroline
Islands.
The matter has never been suggested
in the negotiations in progress between
the United States, Great Britain and
Germany, respecting the partition of
Samoa.
1t is no secret that the American
Peace Commission at Paris made a
determined effort to secure control of
the Carolines by the acquisition of
ITALIAN Island, particularly desired for a
cable station, but since then the Caro-
lines have not been discussed by this
Government, either with Spain or with
Germany.
As evidence that this Government has
never contemplated withdrawing from
Tutuila, an official called attention to
the continuance of the work on the
cealing station being established at the
harbor of that island. The great value
of the harbor of Pago Pago, in the fu-
ture when the Nicaragua canal is built
is generally admitted.
The Caroline Islands, situated in a
line between the Philippines and Ha-
waii are also naturally a very desira-
bic possession. But since the Amer
lean Commissioners failed to obtain
Ualan, the matter has not been before
the President.
Representative Hit Of Illinois, who
will be Chairman of the Foreign Com
mittee, speaking of the report, said: '.I
cannot conceive why we should seek
to relinquish Tutuila to Germany for
additional territory in the Caroline
group. We now have possession of
Guam, one of the richest and best of
the Caroline Islands, and it meets all
the requirements of the United States

FLAG FROM THE EMPEROR.
German Embassador Presents It to
United German Soldiera

CHICAGO, Nov 26-Dr. Won Holle-
ben, German ambassador to the Unit
ed States to-day in the presence Of
1000 Germans, presented a flag sent by
Emperor William to the United German
Soldiers societies in Chicago. In de-
livering the gift, Dr. von Holleben said:
II bring you greeting from the Ger
man Emperor. He commissioned me
to give you the flag that you have so
long wished for, with the request that
it be passed from one of your societies
to another to be kept by each for a
year at a time. 1t is sign of the
gracious favor of the Emperor and a
token of the friendliness and love which
he bears for you and which YOU have
deserved by your services to your coun-
try, for which many of you have fought
and bled on the battlefield. It is a sym-
boil of German truth and manhood. 1t
is the symbol of a German soldiers
honor. The United States is bound
close with Germany by racial ties and
intimate friendship. I beg of you to
take this flag as symbol of national
unity
AS the flag was unfurled the crowd
rose and cheered for several minutes
while the band played the German ma
tional air.
The German Embassador called for
three cheers for the Emperor. which
were heartily given. The spectators
rose and sang the Star Spangled Ban
ner"
DR.. Won Holleben refused to discuss
political matters, but said to a reporter:
Germany has the kindliest feeling
towards the United States and it
seems as if every year brings these two
great nations closer together"
AT the close of the meeting the fol-
lowing telegram was sent to the Ger
man Emperor:

A LETTER FROM JouBERr.

his Reasoning on the Procedure Of
the War.
BERLIN, Nov. 26. = The "Deutsche
zeitung" publishes a letter purporting
to come from General Joubert and
dated at Ladysmith, October 9th, IN
which the writer says:
Even If we do not succeed in pre-
venting the concentration of General
Buffers troops, the British army will
be weakened from natural causes to
such an extent that not more than
$4,000 effective troops, or 10000 at the
outside can take the field The others
must be employed to protect coinmuri-
cations. 1t is to be borne in mind that
not Only Natal, but Cape Colony, with
base Of operations covering 43J miles,
must b. considered.
Our bases of supplies are al home
and organized on the relay system in
three directions. To protect these does
not require 100 men. If one base
should be seriously threatened, the sup
plies will be destroyed. \ war Of de-
fense, Of which we need not think Of
a considerable time, would present far
greater advantages than an offensive
war. We are at home in the high
lands CT the Transvaal and the Orange
Ere. State. The British Will have 10
contest every step under great diff
culties, and must be prepared at every
moment to fight on two or three fronts.
Then will begin guerrilla warfare,
which the British will not be able 20
endure. Already we have .,O,uOO men
in the field, so we do not need to cal
culate upon a rising of the .5oers in
Cape clony and Natal. Nevertheless.
if the British stir up the nat.v and
employ them to fight us, a risl1s- of the
whole of Afrikanderdom will result"

THE PRESIDENT WILL NOT
Withdraw Any Troops Now Under
Orders for Manila.

NEW YORK, Nov. PA special tc
the Herald from Washington says:
Though confident that the end of the
insurrection is in sight, the President
will not withdraw any Of the troops
now under orders to proceed to Manila.
1t is recognized by the Administra-
ton that while Aguinaldo's army may
be disbanded, many Of his men will
be roaming about the island of LGzon
as banditti for months to come, and
and law that there should be strong
garrisons of troops stationed at i'm
portant strategic points to suppress
such bands or any latent spark of in
surrection which may be discovered.
Then, in addition to LuZon, there are
the islands to the south, insurgents In
which decline to acknowledge the SOW
ereignty of the United States. Strong
bodies of troops will be placed in these
Islands. and before the close of the dry
season it is believed that peace will
prevail throughout the entire archi-
pelago.
Only three weeks have passed since
General Otis inaugurated his active
campaign against Aguinaldo, and the
results of his operations are thus SUM-
married by an official:
"Aguinaldo's army is dispersed; men,
bers of his Cabinet and Congress and
the President of his Congress are pris-
oners, and Aguinaldo, with small
remnant of followers, is a fugitive The
railroad between Manila and Dagupan
is in American hands, and civil munlc-
ipal governments have been established
in towns along the line. The occupa-
ton of territory extending from Manila
to Lingayen Gulf, 146 miles from Ma
Mia. and the garrisoning of the prov
inces is complete. 1t is not meant that
these provinces are entirely pacified,
for this would not be the case, but the
insurgent force therein has been broken
and except for small bands has fed,
principally to the province of Zambalas,
to which General Macarthur will now
devote attention"
Considerable interest is being taken in
official circles as to the disposition of
Aguinaldo in case of capture. Some
persons say that the best solution
is not expected Should he be cap
JufeQ, OGu6Idl OllS Will
await instructions from Washington as
to the treatment he should accord him.
Should Aguinaldo escape to Hongkong
the United States will ask for his sur
render and the President would there
fore doubtless determine to leave the
insurgent leader alone.
In connection with the disposition of
Aguinaldo in case of capture the Pres
ident would have to consider the effect
of the policy upon the natives.
When the insurrection is finally sub
dued civilian or commission will be
sent to govern the Philippines. The
archipelago will be divided into four
military departments, the Island of
Luzon in two, over which Generals
Lawton and Macarthur will probably
preside. General Otis needs rest and
is expected to return to the United
States when he is satisfied there is no
longer any need of his remaining in
Manila

THE ROBERTS CASE.
Large Majority of House Members
Opposed to Seating Him

NEW YORK, Nov. PA special to
tne Herald from Washington saws:
Ihough comparatively few of the rem
Tesentatlves-elect have yet arrived in
washington, the expressions of those
VINO are here make it very apparent
that there will be a large majority Of
the members of the House opposed to
seating Brigham Roberts. Interviews
with those who have arrived lead ire
slsubly to the conclusion that either
Mr.. Roberts will not be allowed to take
his seat at all or that he will be ex-
PEELED from it after the House had 4he
report of committee and has heard
both sides of the case.
Mr.. Roberts will not be without some
supporters on the floor. The technical
defense which he sets up meets the ap-
proVal of some CT the members. and he
VIII not be without champions able and
ready to make a strong fight n his be-
half. The proceedings over his case bid
fair to overshadow IN interest the pro-
posed financial legislation, the Question
relating to the newly acquired terri
tory of the United States anG every
other matter that will come before the
House at the beginning of the session.
Just what the characters of those ,.lu-
ceedings will be no one at present
knows.
Whether or not Mr.. Roberts will be
prevented from taking his seat at all
when the other members of the House
are sworn in, will depend very largely
upon the action of Mr. Henderson as
Speaker. Mr.. Henderson has not yet
intimated what course ne will pursue.
The House has from TING to time re-
fused to allow men to be sworn in when
there We're conflicting credentials, but
there has never been a case, in which
there was a refusal to administer the
oath to a man who presented certifi-
cate Of election in due form ard ahso-
lutely uncontested by a rival applicant
for the seat.
