HOW MARcoNI WORKS.
Sits Near the Appartus and Holds a
 Telephone to His Ear.

Chicago, December 19.-A St. Johns ca ble to the Chronicle says:
 Signal Hill, from which Marconi is con- ducting his experiments, is at the top of a height rearing itself above the town to the left of the entrance as one looks sea- ward. It was formerly a fortress garri- soned by the British troops, who were withdrawn thirty-five years ago.
 Through one window the aerial wire Is brought in, thiclxly insulated for several feet along the ground and upward beyond a mans reach. The Insulation tapers like a cows tail, and is so niclz-named in the British navy. where thirty-seven ships carry the system. The apparatus on the table consists of a receiving instrument or recorder. Marconi patent. an im- provement on those used in cable offices A sensitive ink siphon traces the dots and dashes of the Morse alphabet in deli cate waves on a tape which Is reeled off by clockwork. A trained operator is able to read these readily
 The electrical force requisite to give vie tality to this apparatus Is generated from d Cd5htl CoHldilitiiB q uly pdStSIy ol Hiile cells placed on the table. The aerial wire is attached to one pole of this battery; the other pole holds another wire which runs to the earth. The earth. in electrical parlance, consists of six large plates of grate, three of them buried in the ground at the mouth of a well thirty feet deep, and the other three being submerged in the well water, make the best contact
 Marconi seats himself when the ap- paratus is working. Placing a telephone earpiece to his ear he receives the mes sages, the ear being vastly more sensitive than the recorder is. sThe latter is used when electrical waves of greater force are coming in, for the telephonic work IS very tiresome.
 Outside the station the balloons and kites were worked. The balloons were fourteen feet in diameter and of silk, well oiled, their cubic contents being 400 feet of hydrogen gas He brought with him 1o9 cylinders of this gas from Eng land, the one containing 60O0 cubic feet sufficient for four infiations He also or dered 5000 pounds of sulphuric acid and ton of Iron filings to enable him to gener- ate m ore gas.

DON'T LET DEWEY ESCAPE.

From the New York Journal.
 Now that the Schloy court of Inquiry has concluded its labors. let the Navy Department perform a duty that has been too long neglected. Let it convene court-martiaI to try George Dewey.
 Admiral Dewey is notoriously guilty of conduct that calls for stern apprehension.
 He cut the cable at Manila so that he could fight without the instructions of the board of literary experts at Washing ton.
 He fought at such long range that the Spanish guns were unable to reach him, thus detracting materially from the pict- uresqueness that is the principal object of a naval battle.s
 He tried to injure the enemy's ships and spare his own.
 He loopcd the loop. not only once but several times.
 Finally. he committed the unpardonabie fault of destroying hostile fleet without the loss of a single man in his own squa dron.

Rivers and narbors.

The committee on rivers and har- bors has adjourned to meet again January ', when three weeks will be devoted to hearings of the friends of needed improvements in rivers and harbors. The hearings are to be brought to an end January 25, in order that bill may be prepared and re- ported by February 10. This will give fiilibusters of the Carter sort little opportunity for mischief. Chairman Burton proposes to keep the total named in the bill to about $66,000, ,00O. This is large sum, but it is not large in view of the fact that Carterism prevented the passage of any bill last year.
 Congressman Underwood has pre- sented bill. asking for $1,800,000 in accordance with the estimate of Major Rossell, the government engineer, for he eight locks and dams now needed h the Warrior river. MT. Underwood's

MACHINiSTS STRIKE MAY
BE SETTLED IN COURT,
Sweeping Injunction Issued Against gtflk-
ers by Milwaukee Court.

ers by Milwaukee Court.
A sweeping injunction of widespread
scope and Importance relative to the
strike of niachinists was issued Satur-
day to the Vitter Manufacturing COM
pany of Milwaukee. The order pre-
vents the strikers from in any way
interfering with the work men that
are employed at the Vitter works, from
gathering about the works in any way,
from posting piclSets, from mbining
for the purpose of preventing trades
men selling to workmen who have re.
fused to quit and from doing anything
that will in any way operate or result
in damage to the Vitter company.
The injunction equals in it's effect
the combined strike order issued by
Judge Jenkins in the Northern Pacific
case, without embracing any of the de-
fects of that order which led to its re-
vocal in the court of appeals. There
Is not single reference to the strike
in the injunction-the men are not re.
strained from striking as they were in
the Northern Pacific order, but they
are simply restrained from taking any
action or doing anything that will in
any way tend to cause damage to the
Vitter company.
While the action is brought in the
name of the Vitter company it is really
the National Metal Trades association
that is the plaintiff, the Vitter com
pany having been selected to serve as
plaintiff because it is said the equities
existing were greater in it's favor and
Milwaukee was considered as the best
place in the country in which to fight
the battle in the courts
