HONOR FOR SCHLEY.
Resolution in Congress to Tender Him the
Thanks Of the Nation.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 17.-When
the senate convened Monday morning,
a joint resolution was offered by the
Democratic leader, Jones of Arkansas,
rendering the thanks of congress to Adj
miral Schley for the victory achieved at
the battle of Santiago.
What action will be taken on it is
matter of surmise, although there fs
possibility that it will be passed. The
leading members of both houses are
somewhat 10th to take any steps which
will call the matter up again, but there
is undoubtedly predominant feeling
that the minority report of the court OF
inquiry, as represented by Admiral
Dewey, is one which should be perpet-
uated as the general feeling in the case.
The Resolution.
The text of the resolution is as follows:
"Be it resolved by the senate and house
of representatives that the thanks of
congress and the American people is
hereby rendered Admiral Schley, his
officers and the men under his command,
for highly distinguished conduct in the
conflict with the enemy as displayed by
them in the destruction of the Spanish
fleet off the harbor of Santiago July 3,
1898, and that the president of the
United States be requested to cause this
resolution to be communicated to Adj
miral Schley, and through him to the
men under his command" I

been completed. As soon as all the de-
tails of the community OF interest plan
have been worked out, it is understood
that Mr. Mellen will retire. He has re-
ceived flattering offer, which he is now
considering.

sidered for some time, and he and Mr..

law matters during the absence of his
own counsel The plan is to continue
the traffic and operating departments
under competent heads, with MIR. Bum,

DELEGATE FOR ALASKA.
Representative Lloyd Introduces Bill to That
Effect-Another Extends Land Laws.

Washington, Dec. 1s.-Representative
Lloyd has introduced bill to provide for
a delegate from the district of Alaska.
The bill appoints August 2, 1902, as cleo
ton day, and provides that the delegate
shall take his seat next session.
Senator Foster proposes to introduce
a bill to extend the land laws of the
United States to Alaska, and failing the
passage of this act, he will present a bill
to allow the interior department to lease
grazing lands in Alaska under the same
laws as in the United States. Growing
interest is taken in this subject as the
value OF the grazing lands in Alaska be-
comes recognized.
Many protests are being received by
members of the Washington delegation
from publishers of that state against the
action of Postmaster General Smith in
excluding from second-class mail privi-
leges number of publications. The pro-
testants claim to regard the action of
the postmaster general as an encroach-
ment on the rights of congress, which
they maintain has exclusive jurisdiction
over this subject.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE.
Conference in New York Looking to Better
Relations Between Capital and Labor.

New York, Dec. ia conference Of
the Industrial department. of the National
Civic Federation opened Monday morn
ing. The object is to devise a means to
bring labor and capital into closer rela-
tons with view to preventing strikes.
Senator Hanna, President Schwab OF
the Steel Trust, Samuel Gompers, Arch.
bishop Ireland and Bishop Potter will
address the conference.
Oscar Strauss, ex-minister to Turkey,
upon the opening OF the conference, made
an earnest plea for industrial peace. He
said that commercial wars were the result
of ignorance and passion and that it was
for the leaders OF industry and labor to
see better understanding arrived at
between them.
Bishop Potter and Archbishop Ireland
said that the trouble was due to lack
of brotherhood.
Senator Hanna was given great ap.
plause when he rose to speak. He said
in conclusion: "While life remains with
in me shall do my best to bring about
a closer relation between capital and
labor"
Several labor leaders followed Senator
Hanna, felcitating him for his senti-
ments.
Mr.. Schwab said he was opposed to
labor organizations as they now are, but

MIGHT END WAR.
Said the Way Is Being Paved for Conference
Between Kruger and Rosebery.

Amsterdam, Dec. 19.-The Beers are
moderating their demands. A promi-
nent adviser of President Kruger, when
asked if Kruger would agree to meet
Rosebery according to the latter's sug-
gestion in his Chesterfield speech, replied,
"Yes, if we were amicably approached. :"
Later, after long consultation with
Kruger and some local Beers, Kruger's
adviser officially announced that Kruger
was willing to discuss terms OF peace.
1t is thought, in view OF the extremely
liberal views of Lord Rosebery, his un.
questioned influence and popularity and
his strong desire for an end of the South
African trouble, that there is possi-
billy of the war being ended through a
conference. In the event of Lord Rose
bery's approaching Kruger in the ami
cable attitude which the latter suggests,
a meeting will probably be arranged
within the next few days which would
be Of great moment in the question.

GREAT DISCOVERY.
Mareonl Flashes Signals Across the Ocean by
His Wireless Method.

st. Johns, N. F., Dec. 16.-William
Marconi announced the most wondrous
scientific discovery OF modern times in
stating that he had received electric sig
nails across the Atlantic ocean from his
station in Cornwall, England. He ex.
plains that before leaving England he
made plans for accomplishing this result,
for while his primary object was to COM
municate with ocean liners in mid ocean,
he hoped also to succeed in attaining the
wonderful scientific achievement of wire-
less telegraphy across the Atlantic.
Signor Marconi's station in Cornwall
is very powerful. He possesses an cleo
trio force, generated there, hundred
times greater than his ordinary stations.
Before he left England he arranged with
the electrician in charge of the station,
which is located at Poidhu, that signals
should be sent daily after certain date,
which Signor Marconi would cable him
after having perfected his arrangements
here. Signor Marconi arrived here on
December 6, selected Signal hill, at the
entrance to the harbor, as an expert
meeting station, and moved his equip
ment there. Last Monday he cabled to
the Pondhu station to begin sending
signals at 3 p. m. daily and to continue
them until 8 p. m, these hours being
respectively II 80 a. M, and 2 80 p. M,
st. Johns time.
During these hours Wednesday Signor
Marconi elevated kite with an aerial
wire by means of which signals are sent
and received. He remained at the re.
corder attached to the receiving appara-
tus and to his profound satisfaction sig.
nails were received by him at intervals,
according to the program arranged pre-
viously with the operator at Poldhu.
These signals consisted of repeating at
intervals the letter "S," which in Mar
coni's code is made by three dots or
quick strokes. This signal was repeated
so frequently and SO in accordance with
the detailed plan arranged to provide
safeguards against possibility of mistake,
that Signor MarcOni was satisfied that
it was genuine transmission from Eng
land.
Assurance Made Complete.
Again on Thursday, during the same
hours, the kite was elevated and the
same signals were received. This made

success Of the experiment.
New York, Dec. 16.-Saturday night
Edward H. Moeran, of this city, senior
counsel for the Marconi Wireless Tele-
graphy Company, confirmed the dispatch
from St. Johns conveying the informa-
ton that Marconi had received signals
from the coast of England. He said that
it means new era in the history of the
world.

PROTEST is FILED
ADMIRAL SCHLEY'S EXCEPTIONS
TO THE VERDICT
Found by the Majority Of the Court Of In.
quiry are Filed With Secretary Long
Asserted That the Majority Of the Court
Ignored Testimony Of schlsy and Of Wit.
nesses Favorable to Him.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Late in the
afternoon Admiral Schley through his
counsel, filed with the secretary Of the
navy his bill Of exceptions to the major
ity findings of the court of inquiry, and
also letter asking to be allowed to be
heard in connection with the objections
to be filed by attorneys for Admiral
Sampson to the individual opinion of
Admiral Dewey. This action was taken
after Mr.. Raynor, Mr.. league, and Capt.
Parker, of counsel, had held consulta-
ton throughout the day with their client.
Secretary Long almost Immediately
after the receipt of the communication
called Judge Advocate Lemly and the
solicitor for the department, Mr.. Hanna,
into conference. At it's conclusion the
secretary said that he had no statement
to make regarding any action that he
might take in the premises. He, how

the Judge advocate, that he would not
hear an oral argument by Mr.. Raynor
regarding Admiral SIMPSONS protest,

to the findings of Admiral Dewey in the
case today, but it is now stated that
such objections may not be offered be-
fore Friday.
The bill of exceptions declares that
the applicant COLLECTS to the approval Of

that the opinion rendered and the report
of facts made by the majority of the
court are in conflict with the overwhelm-
ing weight of evidence; and that the
majority OF the court in their said
opinion have ignored the testimony of
the applicant, and of the whole of the
applicants witnesses, and all portions of
the evidence given by witnesses for the
government which was favorable to the
applicant, and have thus deprived him
OF rights guaranteed to him by the laws
of the land and the constitution of the
United States.
