North Sydney. Cape Breton, Dec. a.-Mr
Marconi, who arrived here to-day on tn,
steamer Bruce on his way to Montrea

clusion Of his visit to the Canadian capi
tai he would proceed to Montreal anG
thence to Europe.

Of the Cornwall station quite sufficient fol
commercial purposes across the Atlantic.
II intend soon to Try to hold communica-
Cunard steamers and the Cornwall station,
and. II the Cape Cod station is ready for
work, between the Cunarders and that sta
ton.
Il shall. early in February. probably take
trip in one of the steamers from Liver
pool to New York, and continue experi-
ments all the way across. may not be
able to do more than 500 miles. but hope

'"TuninE" Prevents Interference.
''It has been thought that the signals
have been from Cunard steamers near the
Grand Banks at that time. This could not
be possible. The steamers that week
were expressly warned not to send such
signals Our receiving instruments. also
were tuned only SO as to receive messages
from the transmitter at Cornwall.
"a receiver will only take a message
when tuned to the same pitch as the trans
mitter. 1t is the perfection to which we
have already brought the system of tuning
that promises to make wireless telegraphy
of commercial value In the near future.
Ocean steamers fitted with our system
could in no way have interfered with the
experiments at st. Johns
Predicts Success In Six Months.
Gas an instance Of the perfection to which
tuning has already been brought. mention
the experiments between Avon Station, at
the mouth of Poole Harbor. Doretshire.
England, and st. GATHERINGS Station. Isle
Of Wight, when messages. sent both in
French and English, by different transmit
ters. were received distinctly by different
receivers, although the receivers were quite
close to each other. Both were connected
to the pole by the same aerial wire.
''Still better were the experiments be-
tween st. GATHERINGS and Lizard Station, q
distance Of 200 miles. when messages from
four transmitters were recorded by four
different receivers, all In the same room.
'The perfection already attained in tun-.
ing amply demonstrates that an instrument
can shut out messages not meant for It, and
take only those intended to be received by
that instrument. My own opinion Is that
six months hence wireless telegraphy win
begin to be commercially practicable"

FATHER CnowznY ATTENDS MASS.
Accommodated Priest Sits Through
 Services nt Chicago Cathedral.

Chicago, Nov. 10.--Rev. Father Jere- miah J. Crowley, the ex-Roman Cath ollie priest of Oregon H., whose severe criticism of the church authorities of the archdiocese of Chicago was follow ed by his communication, and whose presence. in Holy Name cathedral was the cause of dramatic scene there last Sunday, when solemn high mass was stopped and the lights put out, appear ed at the cathedral again to-day at the hour of solemn high mass. He was ad mitted after some parleying at the door, and in a rear seat he sat through the service.
 When Father Crowley appeared at the central entrance to the cathedral he met a number of ushers, who quickly placed two tables across the entrance, barring his way. When he demanded admlttance he was directed to a side en- trance and there he was admitted.
 When he started up the aisle, how ever, his way was blocked by another company of ushers and he was forced to accept a pew near the rear. There he sat undisturbed through the same service that was stopped when he en- tered the church last Sunday.

Cape Colony Com issioner's Report
 Great Britain Slow.

| Caps Colony Commissioners Neport- | Great Britain Slow.
 Cape Town, Nov. 10.-Dr. J. w. Smart,
 commissioner of public works of Cape Colony, in the course of letter to the
 papers here dealing with the mission of
 the general manager of the Cape gov ernment railways, Charles Bletterman
 Elliott, and his correspondence with the
 British press, says MT. Elliott has ca
 bled that his total purchases and the orders for the Cape railways placed sn America do not exceed R6,000. pr. Smart adds: ''The approximate value of the rolling stock ordered during the last two years is 91,050,000, of which British firms have supplied about e90O,- 00o Orders for railway stores, apart
 from rolling stock, from July, 1900, to
 September, 1901, aggregated 9sO5,9Oo, of which Great Britain supplied GS99,- 657''
 In statement accompanying the let ter the commissioner of public works compares at length the experience of the Cape government in connection with the cost and time of delivery In the case of orders placed In Great Britain with the experience in the case of or ders placed in the United States He shows that the Americans supplied To- comotives within ten months, whereas the British manufacturers required from twelve to eighteen months in spite of the offers of a premium for de- livery in advance of the contract time. He also shows that the American en- zines were satisfactory and the prices far below the British. An order for rails for light line was placed on the continent at G4 l3s 9d per ton, the low est British tender being G6 As 4d.
 Trucks to the value of G263O were obtained in Hungary at about one-half the price of the lowest British tender.
 The agent general was authorized to give the Britishers a preference of ten per cent, but not unless they were pre- pared to meet the requirements of prompt delivery and reasonable prices in comparison with others, and to adopt themselves to the colons needs and con- ditions as these were met in the United States and on the continent. 1t is sug- gested that the suppression of MT. FL liott will not maintain trade to the Bit ish.
