M4RCONI'S APPARATUS.
Inspected by New FoundIand Officials Despite Objections of Cable Company.

l St. Johns, N. F., Dec. 17.-Marconi
 was visited officially at Signal Hill to-
 day by Governor Boyle, Premier Bond and the executive council They were
 shown the wireless apparatus which,
 was explained to them. No attempt
 was made to get signals from England 1 because of the hostility of the Anglo | American Cable company. The govern ment officials, before visiting Marconi,
 had to consider the protest against their going, made by the superinten- dent of the Anglo-American Cable com- pany, who claimed that the govern i ment should not identify itself with either party. The officials decided that the scientific aspect of the Marconi plan warranted their recognition
 The Marconi Wireless Telegraphy company, of London, and the Anglo American Cable company, also of Lon don, have opened negotiations for the settlement of the difficulty between them arising from MT Marconi's work here. In the meantime, as it is import ant that Marconi's operations be expe- dited, he will cease his experiments here and will leave next Sunday for Nova Scotia, where in the event of the failure of the present negotiations, he will select another site for a wireless telegraph station. The inventors work in Nova Scotia will occupy about a week; he then leaves for London via Halifax.
 Marconi expects that the negotiations between the two companies will be sat isfactorily terminated before he reaches England. In this case he will make his preparations for the erection of wire less telegraph station either at St. Johns or Canso, Nova Scotia. If Nova Scotia is selected the station there will probably be erected next spring.

STILL ANOTHER WAR LIKELY.
Active Hostiltties Between Venezuela
 and Colombia May Soon Begin.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Semi-o official advices received here indicate that &C., tive hostilities are about to begin be- twene Colombia and Venezuela. The delay in proceeding to extremes has been largely caused by the lack of a suitable stock of arms and ammuni- tion by the Colombian government. This is about to be remedied.
 The news that comes to-day is to the effect that the British tseamer Bam- reagh, which recently excited suspicion by loading a large cargo of arms in European waters supposedly intended for the Boers in South Africa, really was chartered by the Colombian gov ernment She is now very near Colon and the advice is to the effect that when her cargo is distributed among the Colombian troops hosilities will be- gin between Colombia and Venezuela.
