nothing to the general wealth of the
group. II the mineral laws Of the
United States are extended to them,
they will be opened up: employment will
be given to capital and labor. and new
source Of wealth will be added to the
resources Of N. islands.
It Is said that there are from 1900 to
1000 American miners in the archipelago
now. Most Of these are men who served
In the United States army and have
accepted their discharge at Manila.
Their future course will be shaped by
conditions. If they are unchanged they
will be SO badly handicapped as to be
practically helpless. Under such condi-
lions the mining industry there cannot
hope to flourish Congress is asked at
this session to give them relief by ex-
tending the operation of the mineral
lands act to the islands.
If the recent supreme court decision
In the diamond rings case does not al
ready extend the mining laws there
congress will undoubtedly have the
power. under the Downs and Dooley
decisions. to take favorable action and
relieve the situation. No one who
really desires to see the resources of
our new possessions opened up can for
minute doubt the wisdom of such a
course. No interest can be impaired by
1t. But an important interest in a vir-
gin field will undoubtedly be greatly
benefited by it. Congress should, there
fore. listen to the plea which has just
crossed the Pacific from the American
Miners association in the Philippines
and respond promptly.

A STRONG ATTACHMENT.

No man now living knew the late
President Mckinley so we'll as Senator
Hanna. The two men formed a close
and intimate attachment years ago.
During the early period of William Nc
Kinley's public career it was his good
fortune to have staunch supporters in
politics and friends whose answering
loyalty gave his private life unusual
charm. Chief among the ardent sup
porters of Major Mckinley in politics
was Marcus Hanna. The two men were
giants in the fields of activity in which
they moved. and the world has heard in
detail the triumphs of each in public
life. 1t is doubtful if two American citi-
zens were ever more misrepresented and
maligned than these two stalwart sons
of Ohio. Certain it is that detraction
never harmed either. Senator Hanna,
something of the personal relations that
existed between the two. and the Incl
dents which marked the hour when the
bonds of close companionship were being
loosened by the hand Of death. In every
chapter of American political history
are pages devoted to a recital of the
friendships between men in public life,
but not among them all is there a story
which matches in pure and honest senti-
ment the attachment between these two
strangely contrasted citizens of the
Buckeye state. 1t Is said to be the mis-
fortune of greatness to be misunder-
stood. The average reader will find
nothing difficult about understanding
William Mckinley and Marcus Hanna
after reading the latter's tribute to the
late president in the current number OF
the National Magazine. Against the
dark background of the president
tragic end the incidents portrayed show
how intensely human was each in the
presence of death. After a lifetime OF
triumphs, the dearest possession of both
in the last hour was the friendship which
renders glorious the career of the AmeTi
can citizen in politics.

Again, one great essential to increasing
the range of Hertz waves is to use more
power in generating them. Like light
and heat these vibrations diminish rap
idly in intensity as they spread out from
the point at which they emanate. If
after message has been transmitted
two miles it is sought to send one five,
the energy required for the second test
would bear the numerical relation of
25 to four to that employed in the first.
In other words, the strength of the i'm
pulse decreases as "the square of the
distance. Early in the years Marconi

or some one else may simplify the re-
quisite apparatus and reduce the ex-'
pense. But Hertz wave biography will
hardly compete with land lines, If what
is saved in wire is lost in the equip
ment of station. Besides. it must be
remembered that 1t present fewer words
a minute can be sent by the new system
than the old. The chief advantage to
be derived. apparently, will be the
transoceanic messages. Submarine cables
are costly affairs. They may remain in
service for many years yet. But It
is doubtful whether they can do their
work as cheaply as the apparatus ON
the perfecting OF which Marconi. Tesla.
Fessenden and others have recently been
engaged.

GAME PROTECTION.

Montana's game warden has said that
he and his deputies are as efficient and
reliable as could be wished. There arc
complai nts to the effect that the total
penalties collected by the men employed
to protect Montana wild game is far
below that brought to the state treas
uries in adjacent states where conditions
similar to those in this state exist. If
the state warden and the seven deputies
discharge their duties as well as men
similarly employed in neighboring COM
monwealths there will be no cause for
complaint. Criticism passed upon the
state warden has been principally in the
nature of comparison, and it seems to
be up to the official to explain away the
evidence which goes to show that Mon
tana is heavy loser without receiving
anything remarkable in the way Of game
protection.

The progress made in wireless teleg-
raphy within the last two or three years
has justified the hope that sooner or

And the world has almost unlimited con-

that result. 1t also believes in his hon.
esty. But the story of his experiments
last week is not absolutely convincing.
So shrewd and experienced an electrician

INTERNATIONAL CRICKET,
EnElishmen Make Good Score Against
PHILADELPHIA Eleven.

The ground Of the Merton Cricket Club,
at Haverford. near Philadelphia. was the
scene yesterday. of the first international
cricket match between B. J. T. Bosan-
quet's English cricketers and Philadelphia.
The weather conditions were favorable for
good cricket, but the wicket prepared for
the match was not by any means the best
that could have been obtained It was
lumpy and during the day was responsible
for two painful injuries sustained by the
visitors w. E. Harrison recovered quickly
from blow in the face which he received
while batting, but 1. V. Parkin, the Eng
lshmen's wicket keeper, had a more serious
blow on the temple, which caused his re-
tlrement from the game.
The Engiishmen gained the advantage of
batting first. They started in with the
most careful kind of play, and the first ten
runs took half an hour to make. E. r.
WILSON'S portion Of this was two. when he
was bowled by J. b. King. w. T.. Harrison
gave little trouble, but B. ]. T. BosanQuet
and F. Mitchell made short stand, which
was productive of twenty-six runs before
the former was well taken in the slips by
A. M. Wood. Mitchell played with extreme
patience for thfrty-tWo, which occupied him
almost an hour and a half V. F. s. Craw-
ford and R. E. More made their runs at a
livelier rate. but A. M Hollihs carried off
the palm for fast scoring. He hit in splen-
dld style. and put on forty-four in fifty
minutes He appeared to have particular
fancy for the bowling of ]. A. Lester, and
drove him over the ropes three times. The
last few men were easily disposed of, and
the innings came to an end at o'clock for
a total of 1913. The Philadelphians then as
sumed the defensive, but, without run on
the board. they lost. A. NJ. Wood. ]. A.
Lester and c. c. Morris made good stand
for the second wicket but after the latter
was retired for nineteen none Of the re-
naming batsmen helped Lester much.
Lester, however. batted with great conf
dence for forty-six. and was dismissed in
the last over of the day. r. e. More bowl
ed with great success for the English,nen
and captured three wiekets for thirteen
runs. while ]. B. King was equally sue
cessful for the Philadelphians with eight
wickets for seventy-eight runs.

merican League Clubs Standing.


Smarting under their disastrous expert
ence at Boston. the Chicagos went after
the Senators yesterday with a determina-
tion that would not be denied, and at the
end of the seven innings, when Umpire Hart
called the game on account of darkness,
the score stood 6 to in their favor. Sew
eral pretty plays were made in the game
by both sides, but good. hard, consistent
hitting won the day. Ex-senator Foster,
Hartman and Shugart drove out triples
when they would do the most good, and
although Grady and Coughlin each tore off
a home run, there no one on the bases
when these long drives were made Hoy
and Foster made six of the ten hits cred
tied to the White Sox, while DUNCAN and
Coughlin got four of the seven hits chalk
ed up for the Senators.
Carrick was on the rubber for the WASH
ingtons and he got bad start, d couple
of hits being made, and with an error two
runs resulted in the first inning. After
that inning Carrick did better, although his
bases on balls were costly.
The last time Wiley Piatt pitched in
Washington it was for the Athletics and
the Senators drove him to the bench with
a fusilade of hits. but yesterday he SEEM
ed to have regained his last years form,
the hits being widely scattered and for he
most part Ineffective.
The Chicagos didn't arrive in Washing
ton until 3:3O O'clock and, being driven to
the grounds in haste, left their bats at the
depot and dressed at the Senator's club
house. A short practice followed and then
the game started, with about 500 specta-
tors present, the Senators lending the viz
itors bats.
In the first inning Hoy tore off Il double
to left and scored on McFarland's single to
right. After Mertes had gone out Hartman
hit to Farrell, and on the latter's tumble
Mcfarland crossed the plate.
In the second the Senators chalked up one
run and the crowd felt better. Michael
Grady hitting over the left field fence for
nome run. In the third the Chicagos made
their third run. triple by Foster driving
Mertes over the plate the latter reaching
first when he forced out Mcfarland at sec
ond. =
In the fourth Coughlin slammed out a
home run to the right field fence scoring
the senators second run. In the fifth after
two were out, Mertes got his base on balls
and scored on Hartmans triple to the
right field fence. Fosters single sent Hart
man over the plate.
Washington also scored in this inning,
singles by Farrell and DUNCAN and a long
fly by Grady sending the first named home.
Shugart tripled to the club house in right
held in the sixth and scored on Sugdrus
single to left. This ended the White Sex,s
scoring, with a total of six. The Senators
ran their total up to four in the seventh
as a result of Isbell dropping Hartrnan's
assist of Farrelrs grounder, and a timely
single by Clarke scored the little second
baSeman. Score:
