SHOWING BAD FAITH.

The treaty with Spain by which all
sovereignty over the Philippines was
relinquished was ratified for. the sole
purpose Of formally terminating the
war, and not as Candidate Hammond
AYERS. for the purpose of obtaining pos
session OF the Philippines.
That treaty was not an expression
of unanimous sentiment, anyhow, for
there were those who mistrusted the
intentions Of the syndicate il control
Of our national affairs; the ratification
was secured by a majority Of only one
vote and the support it received was
conditional upon the passage Of a reso-
luton presented by Senator McEnery.
This resolution announced a policy
for the Philippines which all the ad-
ministration leaders subsequently re-
pudiated. Every speech made by the
president in his tour Of the east and
middle west last summer was an avow-
al of hostility to that pledge of the
nation. Every argument for forcible
and permanent retention Of the archi-
pelago has been a declaration Of bad
faith.
1t vas announced by the expressed
terms Of THIS resolution that it was
not the intention of the United States
Ito permanently annex said islands"
nor to hold out any inducements to the
inhabitants to become citizens of this
republic, for it was not the purpose Of
the government to admit them as such
And while the McEnery resolution
was characterized by one of the SEN
ators as "a cold-blooded declaration Of
purpose to buy and sell these people of
the Philippines while steadfastly ig-
noring their own wishes" it neverthe-
less passed. containing assurances
which in all his public utterances the
president has since renounced.
So far as the president and his party
leaders are concerned they still insist
that no rights of citizenship, no repre-
sentation shall be given these people,
but that their islands shall be held
permanently by this government
Thus the Tagals, many Of them cul-
tured and refined sople. as Senator
Beverage assures US, viii occupy the
anomalous position in this country Of

u.-WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
(Continued)
The Coherer.

The Coherer.
The spark gap detector used by
Hertz was extremely simple. but of
limited sensitiveness, failing to re-
spond at distances greater than about
200 feet The first requisite, therefore,
to make space telegraphy of practical
value was a detectOr which should be
reliable and sufficiently sensitive to re
spond at a distance of miles instead
of wards. This was found in the Co
herer," which has been ascribed TO
Brandy, although it was known and
used in one form or another Ions before
his work upon it.
Since the first use of the microphone
as a telephone transmitter the fact
was well known that a simple micro
phone contact, like the Blake, if the
prints were both made Of metal, be-
came family welded together under
the action of the current; and this, q
defect in telephone, was one OF the
principal reasons for the use OF car
bon. A single metallic contact of this
sort is the form OF coherer which has
been used by Lodge. Hughes noticed
this peculiar sensitiveness of mi
crophonic contact, either single or null
tiple, to discharge through 1t, and the
same effect appears to have been OBJ
served by others. Onesti, however,
seems to have been the first to make
use of this property, and Brandy in
creased the SenSitiveness of the coherer
by notifications in the design. As at
present used the coherer consists of a
small glass tube in which metallic pis-
tons fit tightly. The space between

Why even Bryan, if he had possessed
the courage, would have gone to the war
and fought for the same islands but he
was too busy-his political aspirations ran
ahead Of his patriotism.-Manti Mes
senger.
Inasmuch as William j. Bryan ten
dered his services in the war with
Spain the day that war was declared,
and did not leave the army until peace
was declared. the foregoing paragraph,
written by man who never even Of
fered to go to the front, is a fair sam
pie Of the assaults made by Republic
can editors upon volunteers who are
not of their political faith. That Colo
mel Bryan and his regiment were not
sent to Santiago was not his fault or
theirs. They asked to go. but it was
predicted that only administration IA
vorites would be given a chance to
distinguish themselves in the war with
Spain, while 10000 men as brave, as
patriotic and as willing to fight were
forced to remain in Ayers pest camps

with spark gap in the secondary and
battery and key in the primary. When
the key is closed a stream of sparks
passes across the gap, setting up cor
responding ether waves which radiate
in all directions and are detected by the
receiving apparatus.
The spark gap may be simple or a
Right oscillator may be used, in which
two larger brass balls, very close to-
gether, are placed between the termi-
nal balls Of the coil.
To send these waves in any particu-
lar direction a parabOHc reflector Of
metal is so placed that the spark gap
is at the focus and the open side Of
the reflector points in the desired di-
rection. So far as has yet been an
nOunced, no distance greater than two
miles has been covered by the use Of
reflectors. The receiver for directed
waves has a similar reflector with the
coheTer in the focus, and neither trans
mitter nor receiver is connected with a
vertical wire.
In the method by which the greatest
success has been attained, however,
Marconi uses a vertical wire of height
adjusted to the distance over which the
signals are to be sent. One side of the
spark gap is connected TO the vertical
wire, the other to earth.
The receiver circuit IS less simple
One side of the coherer is connected to
the vertical wire, the other side TO
earth; and the coherer is also included
in the circuit of a local battery and
sensitive relay.
When a discharge passes through
the coherer its resistance is so far low
cred that the local battery actuates the
relay. This, in turn, closes another
circuit in which is a Morse recorder or
other registering instrument. The tip
per is also connected in this second To-
cal circuit and keeps UP its hammer
ing on the coherer so long as the dis
charge is passing. Every contact is
shunted by a non-inductive resistance

The light armature of the relay is IN
more or less continuous vibration, but
the heavy armature Of the Morse in
Strument does not respond so quickly
and remains down as long as the trans
hitting key is closed, recording the
regular Morse characters.

tense at sharp points. Each individual
filing, therefore, is most intensely and
oppositely charged by induction at op-
poSite sharp points, and each positive
ly charged point is attracted to the
negatively charged point of a neigh
boring filing. AS soon as contact oc-
ours the charge passes and Yields the
points, the whole action being practi-
cally instantaneous.
To restore the coherer to its sensi-
tive condition these YIELDS must be
broken. This is actually accomplished
by causing the tongue of a vibrator
or buZzer to tap the tube and shake
Up the filings. The same thing may
be effected by rotating the coherer or
by placing it in q rapidly alternating
magnetic field.

voted to be exceedingly "snide." Not
to lose the evening or the price of adj

When a discharge of electricity
passes through the mass of filings,
which are ordinarily in no particular
arrangement, but lying in random po-
sitions, the filings at once marshal
themselves in regular order, point to
point, and the chains thus established
are made more perfect by the slight
welding action at the contact. The re-
sistance of the mass of filings, which
before was infinite, becomes finite
