A year ago it was known to the Colombian n

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia telegram has
been prepared at the Navy Department to
go forward to the Iowa Immediately upon
her arrival at San Francisco, ordering her
to prepare at once to go to sea. When she
advises the department that she is ready
an order will follow for her to proceed at
once to Panama. The little cruiser Ranger.
which is at San Diego. was ordered to sail
to-day. 1t is not believed that there will
be any delay in her departure. as she has
had several days notice in which to pre-
pare for sea- She is very slow, however,
making not more than six knots, and as
the distance to Panama is about 2700
miles. it would require almost fifteen days
for her to reach her destination. The de-
partment, therefore, decided to dispatch the
Iowa as soon as the battleship arrives at
San Francisco and can prepare for the trip.
SAN DIEGO, Cal, Aug. 16.-The Ranger.
ordered to Panama this morning, hastily
took on board supplies for her trip to-day
and will leave here at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. She has been fully coaled for
week in expectation of receiving orders for
her departure.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-The battle
ship Iowa arrived from Puget sound this

has been in Oriental waters for about two
years. arrived in port to-day after run of
ffty-two days from Hong-kong. thirty
seven from Shanghai, twenty-siX from
Yokohama and seven and one-half from
Honolulu The Bennington spent some
time at Manila and then returned to the
Chinese station. She will be repaired here.

JAPANESE SILK SEIZED
RESULT OF THE ALLEGED CUSTOMS
FRAUDS AT NEW YORK.
Selling Price of the Goods Was Ad-
vanced More Than Fifty Per Cent.
Beyond the Invoice Value.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The investigation
into alleged fraudulent practices in the i'm
portation of Japanese silks has thus far
resulted in the seizure of two invoices of
goods under the provision of the law that
all goods shall be seized If the value is ad-
vanced more than so per cent beyond the
invoice value. At the public stores the
name names of the consignees could not
be learned, that being matter entirely in
the discretion of the collector of the port.
Collector Bidwell, assisted by Deputy Col
lector Phelps, of the law division, spent the
greater part of to-day examining fifteen
cases shipped direct from Japan. In only
two instances out of the fifteen is the
weight of the silks said to have correspond
ed with the weight named in the invoices.
1t was said later at the custom house that
the authorities absolved Appraiser Wake
man of all blame. as his part in the exam
ination of these invoices was largely of a
nominal character. IL will be necessary
before the collector takes final action to
make a careful analysis of the silk con-
tanned in the fifteen cases, as the import
tax on this class of goods ranges from 30
cents to 50 per pound.

MARCONI SYSTEM TESTED
THE LUCANIA SPOKEN BY MEANS OF
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
UnbrOken Communication with the
Steamship for Nearly Four Hours
A Successful Experiment..

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The Cunard line
steamship Lucania Captain Mckay, which
sailed from Liverpool for New York on
Aug. TO- was spoken through the medium
of wireless telegraphy by the Nantucket
lightship shortly after o'clock this even
ing. The Herald shore station, to which
came the wireless message from the light
ship, is located at Siasconset a faVorite
summer resort on the island of Nantucket
On the highest part OF the village, known
as Bunker HILL is erected a mast built in
three sections, with its truck rising 165
feet I'm the air. At its upper end Is spar
known a spirit yard, which carries q
vertical wire of the Marconi system, $50
feet above the ground The instruments
which complete the installation are located
i'm a cottage one hundred feet distant from
the base of the mast, and between it
and the sea an uninterrupted moorland
stretches for a mile or more. Forty sea
miles away, bearing about south, the Nan
tucket lightship is moored as a safeguard
to vessels crossing the dangerous shoals of
this veXed area, and as a point of de-
parture and arrival for vessels crossing
the northern Atlantic or coasting along
the western seaboard. On board this vessCi I
a spar has been fitted to the original mast
ana from the tip OF this, 100 feet above the
sea plane, wire is suspended similar to
that on shore.
At the Siasconset wireless telegraph sta
tion the instruments near o'clock this
evening recorded signals that were being
sent out from the lightship searching for
the Lucania Finally at about o'clock
1t was demonstrated that the two vessels
were in communication. To make abso-
lutely certain their circuit was temporarily
broken TO ask the lightship If the Lucania
had been heard from. The answer came
back that the big Cunarder had been re-
ported. From that time until forty min
utes after o'clock messages were sent
In a stream from the Lucania There
were occasional Interruptions for adjust
ment. but in a general way 1t may be said
that the conditions were favorable and
that communication for nearly four hours
was unbrOken. From the Nantucket light
snip TO the Lucania was also sent sum-
mary or the news events of the world
that had happened since the steamship left
the other side.
The following message among those
received at the lightship from the Lucania
and then transmitted to the land station
Ii is signed by Captain Mckay, in com
mand OF the Lucania: "All well on board
We are PSI miles from Sandy Hook and
with clear weather expect TO reach New
York harbor Saturday. Please inform
Cunard agents"

CHICAGoANs WANT REBATES.
They Claim to Have Discovered the
New York Customs Frauds.

CHICAGO. Aug. 16.-As result of the
recent exposure Of alleged frauds in the
New York customs service several of the
big wholesale dry goods firms OF Chicago
have filed claims with the Board of APP
praisers asking for sums aggregating hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars as rebates.
''It through the watchfulness of Chi
cago importers that the government dis
covered a conspiracy in the New York GUS
tom-house," says the Chronicle. Last
May buyers for Chicago importers found
that goods bought i'm Toxic and shipped to
the United States cost more than the same
articles could be bought for from certain
firms in New York. So the Chicago men
got together and instituted quiet investi-
cation. They collected their evidence and
filed protests at Washington. The protests
contained disclosures that called for imme-
diate action, and government detectives
were set at work at once. The claims the
Chicago merchants have filed with the
Board of Appraisers are being considered
now. but official action probably will not be
taken until the investigation has been fin
iShed.' -

CARBONDALE, H., Aug. 16.-Among the
400 American teachers who sailed on the
transport Thomas from San Francisco to
Manila, sixty of them on reaching Homo
lulu were married. The teachers had been
chosen from the many normal universities
of the country and were all strangers to
each other. Their acqualntanceship and
courtship extended over period of less
than two weeks. The captain of the
