the country are valued at $514.000,000,
the other cattle foot up an aggregate
Of $6S9. 100000 in value. He said that
the opinion of stock-raisers was unani-
nous that the passage of the pending
bill would mean the destruction of the
oleomargarine industry, and that there
was little effort on the part Of the pro-
moters of the bill to conceal this pur-
pose.
Two gentlemen present, named Adams
and knight. interrupted Judge Springer
while he was quoting from reports Of
the house. to say that they had been
entirely misrepresented by those re-
ports. Mr. Knight said that letter
had been printed in the Congressional
Record which purported to have been
written by htn, which was an absolute
falsehood.
Mr.. Springer was also interrupted by
Governor Hoard. of Wisconsin. VINO re-
iterated his charge of attempted brib-
cry of merchants by oleomargarne
manufacturers.
Continuing, Mr.. Springer charged the
friends of the bill with interfering in
politics, sgld he quoted a letter from
Mr.. Knight, who is secretary for the
National Dairy union, with headCuar-
ters at Chicago, directed to a constitu-
ent of Congressman Wadsworth, saying
that his reelection, unless by a greatly
reduced majority would be triumph
Of the stockyards and oleomargarine
frauds
Mr. Knight, who was present said
that Mr.. Wadsworths majority had
been reduced 1000.

Southampton, Jan. 3.--A dense fog this
morning disarranged the programme here
for the reception of Field Marshal Lord
Roberts, and it was an hour after the ap-
pointed time when he arrived. The ell
thusiasm of the large concourse of peo-
pie, however, was in no way dampened by
the thick pail of mist, and amid scenes
of great jubiliation commingied with
cheering and the singing of patriotic
songs in accompaniment of the bands of
music. Lord Roberts landed and drove
through the decorated streets to the
Hartley Institute, where the mayor. sur
rounded by the members Of the corpora
ton in full robes of office, presented him
with the freedom of the city in a gold
casket. The institute was crowded to it's
capacity and there was a remarka BE

was greeted with continuous plaudits

MAY BE TRIED BY THE NAVY
NEW SYSTEM OF WIRELESS TE-
LEGRAPHY,
Remarkable Results Achieved With 1t
by Agricultural Department
Experts.

Since last fall the Navy Department has
suspended the experiments in the employ
ment of wireless telegraphy as a means of
communication between naval vessels. and
between vessels and the shore. What had
been achieved was the erection of small
apparatus at Newport giving communica-
lon between some of the islands in the
harbor belonging to the navy. This appa-
ratus has been of value in the instruction
OF officers in the principles of the art of
wireless telegraphy. But up TO this time
meme of the warships has been equipped
with a permanent plant.
While 1t may be. true that Marcon, is
coming to the United States, and that he
may, while here, communicate to the NAVY
Department some proposition looking to the
installation of his own system of telegraphy
on our naval vessels. the Navy Depa rtn,ent
has not yet engaged him to do SO. Rear
Admiral Bradford, the chief of the equip
ment bureau, which would naturally install
any such means of communication, has had
conferences with some of the most eminent
electricians IN the United States as to the
availability of the wireless telegraphy for
naval use, but so far nothing like the ideal
system has been found.
The latest proposition has been broached
Dy the Department of Agriculture. Secre-
tary Wilson, hearing that the navy was
casting about for a serviceabe system of
telegraphy, has written Admiral Bradford
to notify him that the Agricultural Depart
ment has been for some time experimenting
with wireless telegraphy, and has attained
remarkable results.
His experts assert with the greatest posi-
uveness that they have evolved a system
radically different from Marconis and of
far greater efficiency 1t was suggested
that this might be exactly what the navy
needs.
For obvious reasons the details Of the
process are kept secret, but it is probable
that within short time practical exhibi-
ton will be made on board a naval vessel.
The bureau of equipment fortunately has a
considerable appropriation made In lump
sum at its disposal to cover the expenses
of installing all kinds of electrical appli-
ances aside from those connected with the
mechanical department of the ship and
when Secretary Long gives the order a
part of this will be spent in tryipo Secre-
tary Wilson's experts devices.
The outcome will be watched with the
greatest interest by all naval men, par
tcularly in view of the announcement that
not only Great Britain, but Germany and
the other European maritime powers have
already ordered the installation of wireless
plants in their navies
