NEW WIRELESS UNDERGROUND
TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE

London, Oct. 21.-A formidable rival
of the London MarcOni system prom
ises to invade the field of wireless tel
egraphy. This Is the Armoral system
for electrical transmission of energy,
by which effects similar TO Marconi's
system, with several additions. can be
transmitted without the aid of wires.
Ariel Orling. n Young Swede, is the dis
coverer of this novel development of
electrical science, and associated with
him is j. T. Armstrong, an English
electrician, at whose country residence
in Buckinghamshire experiments have
d en- iii progress for the past year, the
result of which is that they submitted
to a demonstration yesterday.
Briefly, the new system, besides
transmitting ordinary dot and dash
messages, will carry sound like the
telephone and will carry energy suffi-
cient to steer a torpedo, all the time
under control of the operator, besides
doing away with the necessity for the
tall poles used In the Mnrconi system.
The whole mechanism at each end is
not more bulky Than the ordinary telc-
graph instrument. while the only in
stallation required consists of sticking
two ends of ground wires into the
earth, wherein the apparatus Is ready
to receive or 10 transmit messages.
Perhaps the most unearthly expert
ment was telephOning to n distant tent

Atlanta. Ga. Oct. 2O.-.Iudge w. r.
Newman Of the United States District
Court has handed down an opinion of
Interest TO the mercantile community
ana the legal profession at large.
The supreme Court of the United
States has decided. under II section of
he bankruptcy law, that II payment
within four months preceding the i'll
ing of the petition in bankruptcy must
he surrendered before the creditor
shall he allowed to prove his claim in
bankruptcy.
Another section of the bankruptcy
act authorizes II preference for the
amount of goods which has been sold to
the bankrupt subsequent to the pay
mcnt received, If the goods entered into
and became Il part Of the bankrupt es-
ate.
The question before Judge Newman
was ne To whether such n set-Off would
he allowed in the ease of Il creditor
whose preference was not knowingly
received.
Judge Newman holds that the sct-off
should be allowed as well as in cases
where the payment va %innocently re-
Ceived, as in cases where II wus not.
Judge Newman subsequently passed
an order authorizing the trustee to take
the case to the Circuit Court of appeals
at New Orleans for review.

BISON KILLING CASE
AT LEADVILLE FAILS

Denver, Oct. 2O.-A Republicn spc-
Cial from Lcadvillo yesterday says:
State Game Warden Harris of Den
yer, who has been working SO faithful
ly on the case against the Bartlett
brothers and Others. for Strengthening
bison, received an unexpected shock
which resulted in the dismissal of the
ease in the District Court to-day.
Frank \. Bartlett. G. \. Bartlett. j.
T.. Webb and W. +. Mcclure were the
defendants in the case. The latter was
not supposed to have had anything To
do with the killing of the buffalo. but
ii was through him that the sale was
TO be made, and he was putting
through the sale when the arrests We're
made by Harris.
Much to the surprise of the prosecu-
ton. and also TO Judge Overs of the
District Court. the defendants after
hearing all the evidence of the state.
asked that the case be dismissed and
that they be discharged. on the
ground that the case was brought UNI
der the act of 1897. which made such
an offense Il misdemeanOr. and that
said act was now practically repealed.
for the reason that the Legislature i'm
1879 passed an act making such an of
Tense n felony, thus destroying the
previous act, ana In view of the fact
that the said bison Were captured pre-
viOus TO 1897 by the parties from
which they were purchased. that there
fore the defendants should be dis
charged.
The request came like n bomb in the
court room and Judge Overs censured
the defendants attorney severely for
allowing the case to proceed as far ms
IL did before making their motion. He
believed from the evidence Introduced
hat the state had Il very strong case.
and he wanted the defendants to con
time with the trial, but they pressed
their point, Introducing much law ON
their side, and both the district attor-
ncy and the judge finally admitted
that there was nothing 10 do but dis
charge the defendants.

in n fiye-acre field, whittier 4 group or
spectators plodded Over the marshy
ground. oblivious of their personal dis
comfort. in amaZcment at the wonder
full results. Fastened to a pole in the
middle of the tent was an ordinary
telephone receiver, connected with "A
small hoxed-up apparatus in a shed be
low the railway signal box. The tele-
phone m%outhpiece was fixed against
the wall. The telephone between these
two stations was therefore only capa-
BILE of transmitting messages one way.
This circumstance added perhaps 10
the mysterious character of the expert
ment.
To listen in the telephone receiver
and hear voices coming apparently
from the sodden grass field with no
sign of n wire or overhead apparatus
within sight, strained the belief of the
spectators in the marvellous. Nobody
could explain II.
A similar experiment was made
showing how sounds could be trans
mitted from ship to ship or from shore
to ship, without any apparent connec-
ton beyond the fact that at each end
one of those mysterious boxes was con-
nected with a battery OF one side with
two ground wires on the ather.
Everybody present is now prepared
to believe the new system is capable
of anything.

Reapportionment of representation
in Canada after a new census is a

States. When the Dominion vas
formed the rule was adopted that the
Province of Quebec should always
have sixty-iye members of the Lower

of Quebec. divided by s~ixty-ive, fur

DIOCESAN JUBILEE Day
MINNESOTA CATHOLICS WILL GEL
EBRATE IMPORTANT ANNI-
VERSARY ON JULY
FIFTY YEARS IN NORTHWEST
Bishop Cretin Arrived in st. Paul
July 2, 1881, and Firmly Es-
tabIished the Catholic
Faith.

July 2. 1901, will be an suspicious day
in the history of the Catholic church in
the Northwest. On that date all the
faithful under the jurisdiction of the 81.
Faul diocese will celebrate the golden
anniversary Of the permanent establish
ment of the Catholic church in the
Northwest.
The celebration marks the arrival just
fifty years ago of Rt. Rev. Bishop Cfetin,
who, armed with commission from the
pope, landed in ST. Paul and proceeded
to take charge of the diocese which then
included a territory that reached from
the St. Croix and the ST. Louis on the
east, to the Mississippi on the west, and
from Iowa to the British possessions on
the north. Bishop Cretin came to St.
Paul by boat and on his arrival here he
was the guest Of practically the only
priest in Minnesota at that time, Rev. A.
RaVouX, still a resident of this city. His
residence and temporary cathedral was
a log cabin which stood on Second street
between Cedar and Minnesota streets.
Later a cathedral was built at Sixth and
Wabasha streets and was followed by
the present edfice on the corner of Sixth
and st. Peter streets. With the death of
bishop Cretin came Bishop Grace, and
following him was the present prelate,
Archbishop Ireland.
While commemorative services will be
held in every parish in the diocese, the
principal celebration will probably be
held in st. Paul. and will be attended
by clergy from all over the state. Arch
bishop Ireland has directed a letter to
the priests of the diocese calling their
attention to the event and asking it's
proper observance. The plans for the
celebration to be held in st. Paul have
not yet been determined upon. though

Barrett & Zimmerman's Offer Seems
to Be Most Satisfactory for Good
HOrsex-Range Animals
Come Lower.

Unexpectedly high prices were revealed
In the tenders opened yesterday for horses
to supply the squadron of the Thirteenth
cavalry regiment, now being organized at
Fort Meade. The chief quartermaster
had expected to find the offers for really
good horses possibly run as high as $130
per animal, but, to his surprise, when the
bids were opened, it was seen that for
American horses all the way from $124 to
$l49 was asked. Several of the bidders
submitted prices considerably lower, but
they were for range animals, most of
which are branded and which the depart
ment at Washington will scarcely accept.
In all 1894 horsese were offered, the eX-
tremes in prices ranging from $1G3, to be
delivered at Fort Meade, to SAG delivered
at Miles City. Three of the competitors
are from ST. Paul: Barrett & thinner
man offered to supply the entire AIS in
St Paul for the following prices: Roans
$12450; light sorrels, $125.50; chestnut bays
and blacks, $12650 w H. Egan will sup
ply forty at $132.50, and James King ten
at s125
Charles Round, of Sheridan put in a bid
to supply twenty-five horses at so, at
Sheridan, and ]. D. Guyton, of Lathrop,
Mo-, offered the entire number required
at S149 This bid is for American horses,
and was the highest bid received. Clark
Anderson and H. Bunting, of Sturgis, S.
D., also offered to supply 426 horses each,
the former at $109 and the latter at $104.50.
Jones & Mclaughlin, of Sturgis, bid on
125 horses, asking 1922 and Messrs. Wyt-
tenbach and L. Cowdin rendered for fifty
each, the former asking $3.50 and the lat
ter 500, at Sturgis. All the bids from
Sturgis are for range animals, and hither-
