MISS MORRISON IS
 HELD WITHOUT BAIL
The Young Woman Wept Bitterly When She Bade Her Father Goodbye
 and During Speeches

Eldorado, Kan, July 20. - Miss Jessie Morrison, whose preliminary trial tor the murder of Mrs. Olin Castle has been in progress for several days, was this even- ing held without bail to answer the charge of murder in the first degree before the next term of the district court
 Miss Morrison will be confined in the county jail at Wichita, as the jail here is not provided with apartments for women Just before the young prisoner was taken back to the jail she embraced her father, and both wept bitterly.
 When County Attorney Brumback, in his closing argument, related the story of the tragedy and declared that in the heart of Olin Castle, husband of the slain woman, there was an utter absence of love for Miss Morrison, the prisoner leaned her head on her brothers arm and wept Again when Attorney Cramer, speaking for the defense, referred to the deep sympathy felt for the two afflicted families, Miss Morrison covered her face and cried.

 He seconded MT Hays effort from the out set, and it Is due to the official machinery set in motion by him that the communi- cations were gotten through. It is appre- ciated by the officials, both American and Chinese, that there will be suspicion in some quarters.
 Against this is declared that message authenticated by the American cipher code and backed by the integrity of the officials through whom it has passed, must be &C., cepted as authentic until something bet ter than mere suspicion Is brought forth. Later in the day several messages were received from United States Consul Fowler at Che Foo, strongly confirmatory of the news that the foreigners were alive.
 The fact that the cablegram from Minis ter Cenger was given scan. credence in London official circles had no dampening effect on the optimism of the administra- ton officials
 Besides, there were the several strongly corroborative dispatches from Consul Goodnow and Consul Fowler. The fact that Minister Conger mentioned the bom- bardment of the British legation was con- sidered good evidence that the dispatch was written subsequent to the 9th, as the best information here is that the lombard ment of the legations did not begin prior to that date It was said at the State De partment that it was not thought expedi- ent to give out either the text or a para phrase of the message sent by the State Department on July Il to Minister Conger.

FIRST RAY OF HOPE
 TO BREAK THE GLOOM

Washington, July 20-I.ike flash of sun- light out of the dark sky came the intel ligence at an early hour today that United States Minister Conger had sent cipher cablegram from Pekin to the State Depart msnt at Washington, making known that two days ago he was alive and that the foreigners were fig-.,ing for safety. The Chinese Minister, Wu Ting Fang, received the message. Within an hour the welcome intelligence that MT. Conger had been heard from. after weeks of silence and evil re- port was flashed throughout the country and indeed throughout the world
 The dispatch was in reply to Secretary Hays cable inquiry to MT. Conger on July Il, and as both messages were in the Amer icans cipher code, they were regarded by the officials as above the suspicion of having been tampered with in the course of trans mission through Chinese channels. MT. Wu promptly communicated the dispatch to the State Department, where the transla- tion was made from the cipher figures, and 
 telligence.
 Ittwas telegraphed by Secretary Hay to the President, who responded with whole some expression of qualification, and word of it was sent to the various Cabinet off, cers They gathered in Secretary Hays office and an. impromptu Cabinet confer ence was. held in the Diplomatic chamber, mainly for the purpose of exchanging con- gratulations and of taking a survey of the situation to see if it had been materially changed by this important development. First of all, from the standpoint of the Ad- ministration, officials, the most important feature of the message was the assurance that the American Minister himself was alive two days ago. But with this cheer full news came the ominous statement of Minister Conger that the besieged foreign continued shot and shell from Chinese troops and that only quick relief could avert a general massacre. After the first flush of. thankfulness this graver feature Of the message began 10 impress ltSel1 upon the Cabinet officers most deeply.
 Appealing for Help
 As one of them remarked:
 "There are the poor creatures penned up under fire of shot and shell and appealing to us for help"
 The consultation brought about no pro- nounced change of policy. for 1t was felt that every energy had been bent toward meeting the situation and that there was absolutely nothing more that could be done. After all the cabinet officials felt, and so stated, that the message was an evidence of friendiiness and good faith of the pro- foreign element of the Chinese and that wisdom dictated course which would con- tinue to utilize this friendship. The gov ernment accepted the message as authentic and Secretary Hay transmitted it to all our ambassadors and ministers abroad with

Arabic Typewriters.

One of the most interesting Of recent
inventions is an Arabic typewriter,
which has just been patented. Inas-
much as Arabic writing has no fewer
than G3S distinct characters, the diff
cultiCs to be overcome are obvious.
There are, however, in Arabic only
twenty-nine letters, each letter hay.
ing many different forms. One letter,
for example, has sixty-four forms, the
purpose of this variety in forms being
that each letter shall join with the ad.
jacent letters. whatever their shape.
This condition Of affairs, obviously,
is hard on the typesetter, and for a
long time past Arabic scholars have
desired to contrive compromise charac.

well enough, and which would at the
same time be satisfactory TO the read.
ers Of the written language. This has
at length been accomplished, and ms
one of the results Of the chirographic
reform, an Arabic typewriter will soon
be placed on the market Thus Arab
merchants in this country and all over
the world will be able TO conduct their
correspondence much more easily than
hitherto. The Arabic language is IN
use to-day in Egypt, Persia and Ara
bin.
Such an achievement gives hope that
there may yet arrive a Chinese type

WIRELESS TELEPHoNING.

The development of wireless electric
service, made by Sir w. H. Preece in
the form of wireless telephoning is a
very interesting one. 1t seems so far to
attain its greatest success in commune
eating across considerable bodies of wa
ter. Though Sir William made some of
his earliest experiments by placing or
binary insulated wires in the ground at
both ends the more signal success was
in placing the terminal plates in the
sea water. By this means telephone
communication is now established be-
tween the Skerries and Anglesea, and
between Rathlin Island and the north
coast of Ireland, the distance of COM
munication having in some cases been
as great as twelve miles. One of the
most important applications of this dis
covery is that with its use ships at sea
can communicate with each other by
telephone at a distance of many miles
when they are placed in a parallel posi-
ton. The use of wireless telephoning
on land is however, of doubtful value as
yet-Pittsburg Dispatch.
