ALMOST A REALIZATION
In a Few Days Will Telegraph
Across the Atlantic With
out Aid of Wires.

New York, Feb. l6--If Nikola
Tesla keeps the promise made
Yesterday in Lis behalf, and per-
sonally subscribed to By himself
the world is on the eve OF seeing
one of the most marvellous ad-
va,ces in electric science ever
made.
Wirel rs selegrarby across the
oosan! This, s4ateace, is what
this man whom, Professor Slaby,
of Berlin, calls the "father: Of
wireless tslegraphy." says that ne
is prepared to give. The plans
for machinery have been perfect
cd, the sites for she terminals
selected, and work OH the great
wosld.stirring project is about to
be actively begun. So much Mr..
Tesla says. but where the sites are
to be or what financial backing
he has the inventor declines to
state.
Az intimate friend of his said
yesterday that the device which
h, will use 70, sending messages.
across the ocean IL the same, with
notifications, which be designed
and patented two years ago for
the transmission of power through
natural media. He has e1psr-
inented with mis- machine in the
Rocky mountains, and knows by
actual tests what be can do. He
expects that the time required to
perfect his apparatus will be about
eight months.
DESCRIBES THE APPARATUS.
IN describing this apparatus
Mr.. Tesla says that it has been
veil known heretofore that if the
air inclostd in vessel be rare6ed
lts insulating properties are
impaired to tuch al extent that it
becomes what may be considered
true conductor Of electrity, al
though of admittedly high re-
distance. This is the principle he
hasseizsl upon to make the proper
machinery for developing and re-
caiving the electrical energy, and
to GET that enegy up into q stratum
of air sufficiently rarcfed to con-
duct the current.

M. Cambon, II thank your Majesty

D1frsRs FROM MARcoN1 SYSTEM.

"second, that the conductivity
of tho air increases 70 materially
WITH the incersse of electrical
pressure and degree Of rarefaction
that it becomes possible to tran
emit through even moderately
raraRed strata of the atmosphere
electrical energy up to practically
any amount and any distance"
It would be difficult to describe
Mr.. Teela's apparatus 80 that the
lay mind could comprehend it.
Its main features are transmit
ing apparatus of great power a:
the sending station anda transfor-
mer at the receiving station Of
similar formation. The terminals
are to be elevated a! corresponding
heights. Mr.. Tesla mentions
bulloous as possible terminals,
but in his experimental station in
Colorado be used discs OF balls Oh
top of high poles.
His invention differs from the
Msrconi system in many ways,
one of which seems to be the
tremendous pnwer developed by
the Teela apparatu. While the
Marconl sytem is limited to com
paratvely short distances, the
Tesla sys tenn will practically
annihllste distance. and make it
as easy to telegraph from New
York to Paris as 1t is now from

Why Mr.. Taylor Will Not Sell
Fertilizers This Season.

Baltimore. Nd, Feb Is, 1901
Mr.. NJ. A. Taylor, Edgefeld, S. q.
Dear Sir: We beg to hand you
herewith three copies of contracts
made by yourself with our Mr. &c.
Everett, much to our regret on the
one hand and satisfaction on the
other hand, as We find We are 60
ing to be unable to furnish goods
to a large part of the customers
who have favored US with their
contracts, owing to the size of our
plant, and very unexpected de-
mand for our goods brought about
by the unusual quality which we
are able to put out this year, and
we have decided that it is better to
baud these contracts back to the
customer, where We know we cap-
not fill them, than to disappoint
him and not allow him ample
time to make arrangements else
where.
Trusting this will not disap-
point you seriously, we beg to re-
main, Yours truly,
TEE ARMOUR FERTILIZER. WORKS.
Owing to the above letter l Will
not try to coll guauo this season,
but will try and be on time next
season. NJ. A. TAYLOR.

BEN TILLMAN TELLS
ABOUT BAD BUTTER.
Edgefield Expert on Cows Re-
lates His Experience.

Washington, Feb. 16.--At the
conclusion of the morning hour
in the senate today, when the un-
finished business-the shipping
bill-was laid before the body, Mr..
Spooner of WISCONSIN moved to
proceed to the consideration of the
olemargaripe bill. By a practi-
cally unanimous vote-only sw"
senators voting in the negative
the motion prevailed. Thus the
subsidy bill was displaced IS the
unfinished business and the olec-
margarine bill was placed in that
order. After little over an hours
consideration of that measure it
was laid aside in order that unob-
iected bills on the calendar might
be conaidered. Nearly 800 bille,
including 1877 private pension bills
we're passed during the day.
In the absence of Mr.. Frye, pres
idept pro tenn, who is confined at
bis apartments by illness, Mr.. Per-
kins Of California occupied the
chair at the opening of today's
session.
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas offered q
resolution discharglng the COM
mittee on the judiciary from the
consideration of the so-called an
THRUST bill and providing that it
should be considered by the sem
ate. The resolution went over un.
til Monday.
On motion Of Mr.. Allison the
senate decided to consider until l
o'clock unobjected bills on the
calendar. Under that order the
following bills were passed:
Authorizing the Carolina North.
ern Railroad company to construct
bridge across the Lumber river
at Lum mberton, N. c.; to amend
the acts for the protection of bid:
and the preservation of game anc
fish and for the prevention of theil
sale during certain closed seasoi.s
in the District of Columbia; per.
mitting the transportation by
steam vessels Of gasoline and 9th
or products of petroleum when car
ried by automobiles; providing
that it shall be q misdemeanor TO,
a civilian to refuse to appear anc
testify before conrtmartial.
KILLING THE SHIP BILL.
At 1 o'clock the ship subsidy
bill,' as the unfinished business
was laid before the senate. In
stantly Mr., spooner of Wisconsin
demanded recognition and movet
that the senate proceed 10 the con
sideration of what is known as tn
oleomargarine bill. The motiol
was agreed to, As to 2, Senator

souri, casting the only votes in th'
negative.

Why did Judge Gear lower the

was 80 SICK" the answer will be.
Now, he was in Oahu Jail under
$1,000 bail, and if the High Sheriff
could have done it, he would have
had him there without bail. He was
not sick while in Jail, and il he
we're, there is very good hospital
right there, where he wonld have
had all the medical attendance he
needed. He became dangerously
ill, when Judge Gear lowered his
hail to $3.50 and was Immediately
released and packed to the Queens
Hospital, where DR.. Cooper treated
him-for what? Nervous prostra'
ton is very fine word and covers
multitudes of sins, but Winslow

girls, the criminal would never have
succesde in escaping from justice.
The girls we're HawaiiaDs and, in
the mind OF the abettors OF the es-

vial affair. The Hawaiians are
taking a different view OF the scand-
al, and in due time they will prove

If the outraged girls had been
white or had white fathers, the bail
demanded by. the High Sheriff
would never have been lowered by
Judge Gear. The escape OF the
beast, through the assistance of
certain haoles will not be forgotten,
because the Hawaiians feel that
they no longer can find protection
in our courts, and it will not ia ke
long, before they will make their
white brethren understand that, if
outrages of the Winslow kind can
go unpunished, they will take the
law in their own hands to protect
