New York, Dec. 14.-William A.
Eddy, who has just arrived in Bayonne,
N. j.. from Noank, Conn. has written
to Mr.. Marconi. inclosing diagrams of
an improved tandem kite system for
reaching a height Of 5000 feet with
Major Baden-Powell's system Of kites.
He thinks that system will enable Mar
conf to send messages at least 1000
miles, because every increase in height
has SO far enormously increased the
range of wireless kilograms.
Should the receiving vessel 1000
miles out at sea also send up receiv-
ing wire by means OF kite storm flyers
to a height of 5000 feet. Mr.. Eddy
thinks the 1O00-miles limit will be
more than doubled. Major Baden
Powell fastens one kite to the back Of
another when flying the kites tandem,
but Mr. Eddy says that the improved
system Of fastening radiating lines to
a main line the safety will be greater
than one kite. because If one kite gives
out the others will sustain the appa-

CHINESE TRADE.

Mr.. Webb Says tho Exclusion ACT Will

New York, Dec. IA movement is
taking shape among the export and i'm.
port houses engaged in trade with
China to secure more liberal treatment
for Chinese merchants and others Wis.
ting this country. under the new Chi.

president Of the China and Japan
Trading company, who has resided in
Shanghai for over Is years. and who
is thoroughly familiar with the condf.
tons affecting the development OF
American trade with the far east in an
interview said:
THE humiliating restrictions which
the Chinese exclusion act has placed
on the entry Of Chinese merchants,
travellers and students into this coun-
try seem likely to undo all the advant'
age we had gained through the friend
~ attitude Of our government during
the recent negotiations between the
powers and China. But for the re-
opening Of the Chinese markets and
the resumption OF the ordinary cur
rents of trade at the beginning Of this
year, we should have had very seri
GUS state Of things in the great cotton
industry Of the United States. Hall
the cotton mills Of the south are abso-
lutely dependent upon the Chinese con
sumner for the sale of their output OF
cloth, and in default Of orders from
China. nothing could prevent de-
structive competition between New
England and the south for possession
OF the home market. 1t will not be long
before our great iron and steel indus.
tries have as we'll defined an interest
in the Chinese market as the cotton
textile industry already possesses and
care should be taken not to prejudice
our Chinese customers against u.s.
