INTERESTING EXPERIMENTS.
Wireless Telegraphy Along Carolina
and Virginia Coasts.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Secretary
Wilson of the agricultural department
is pushing the wireless telegraphy ex-
periments along the Virginia and North
Carolina coasts. The work is being
done by Secretary Wilson's direction
under the immediate supervision of
Prof. Willis L. Moore, chief of the
weather bureau. Prof. Moore made the
statement to the Associated Press today
regarding the results of the experiments
SO far conducted:
''The most efficient method of long
distance transmission has been found to
be from wire cylinders. The new coast
stations are being equipped with cylin-
ders of Is wires each and 40 feet in
length. From these cylinders 1T is ex-
peCted to cover magnetic field of not
less than 500 miles The stations now
in operation are at Hatteras and at
Roanoke island, Pamlico sound, N. Q.
Workmen are beginning the construc-
ton of tower at Cape May, which will
be the third station. When this is
finished the two remote stations will be
1877 miles apart. The three points now
are connected by a government tele-
graph line, but this line will be aband-
oned on the completion of the Cape
Henry station. This, incidentally, will
save the expense of maintenance of a
half dozen repair Stations

rived here this afternoon, and reports
that the negroes at II. f. Sears g. Co. s
still were fired upon last night. One
man was instantly killed and three 9th.
ers were seriously wounded.
number of negroes had gathered In
front of one of the shanUies and were
cooking supper on a ighVwood- knot fire
when the shooting commenced.
The parties who did the shooting
stepped up in the darkness till they
were in range and fired About IA shots
We're fired. The guns were loaded with
buckshot.
There were at least four men IN the
party that did the shooting. Tracks of
four persons were seen where they came
down the road and went up within 40
yards of the negroes and stopped Then
they turned and ran in the direction OF
the river.
The outrage is thought by some to be
the result of the strong prejudice aroused
over the killing of Sheriff Mathis by
negro, near Mayo, short time ago.
