JAMES DOUGLAS REID DEAD.
s.s.United States Consul and "Father of the
Telegraph"

New York, May 1.-James Douglas
Reid, known to the telegraphers as
THE Father of the Telegraph" is
dead at his home in this city. He
was born in Edinburg, Scotland,
March %, 1909, and came to America
in 1884. He entered telegraphy in
1845, when he assisted in the oragniz-
alton of the Atlantic & Ohio telegraph
company for the construction of a
series of lines connecting Phialdel-
phia, Pittsburg, Buffalo, Detroit,
Cincinnati, St. Louis and New Or
leans, the most extensive service pro-
jected at that time. Becoming ac-
quainted with Prof. S. F. B. Morse,
a mutual attachment sprung up be-
tween them, which led to Mr.. Reid's
appointment as superintendent of the
Magnetic telegraph company, a line
extending from New York to Wash
ington. At the same time he re-
tanned his connection with the Allan
tic & Ohio company. He entered
the service of the Western Union tel
sgraph company in 1850, where he re-
mained until 1889, when he was ap-
pointed United States consul to Dun
fermlie, Scotland, thorugh the in
f1uence of Andrew Carnegie, who as a
boy serevd as messenger and telegraph
operator under Mr.. Reid at Pitts
burg. He relinquished this office in
1897. The statue of Prof. Morse in
Central park, this city, was erected
by the telegraph fraternity through
the efforts of Mr.. Reid.

MEXICAN MINISTERS.
Diplomatic Relations Resumed With Austria
and American Republics.

Washington, April 3O.-A complete
reapproachment between the govern
ments of Austria and Mexico has been
brought about, and as a result each
country is about to send minister to
the other. This terminates an inter
national estrangement dating back to
the days when young Maximi1lian Of
Austria sought to gain foothold in
Mexico, and lost his life in the ad-
venture. A bill has passed the Mexi-
can congress providing for minister
to Austria at a salary of $15, 600 an
nually. Austria will take similar ac-
tion by sending a minister to Mexico,
and this will close the long and his
toric separation.
The Mexican government has also
taken steps to resume diplomatic
communication with South American
countries, the first move in that di-
rection being the appointment of a
Mexican minister to the Argentine
republic. For many years there has
been no diplomatic intercourse be-
tween Mexico and her sister republics
on the southern continent, as there
was little commerce between them,
and few political questions requiring
diplomatic representations. Recent
", however, Argentina has made
friendly move by accrediting a min
lister both to Washington and Mexico
City, and Uruguay has taken similar
action. The selection of Mexico CITY
as the place for holding the congress
of American republics has had fur
ther influence in inducing Mexico to
extend her relations with South and
Central America.

WON BY AMERICANS.
Pittsburs Firm Will Build Locomotives 70,
India.

New York, April 29.-An American
concern has secured the contract for
locomotives recently ordered by the
Calcutta port commissioners, despite
active European competition.
The Indian authorities invited bids
in the open market for nine locomo-
tives. The lowest British bid was
that of Nelson, Reid & Company,
GLASGOW. Their price was 81, $40,
against the Pittsburg Locomotive
.Company's bid of 81, 379 for each
engine. The Pittsburg company also
offered quick delivery, undertaking
to fulfill its contract inside of six
months, while the shortest time given
by British builders was nine months.
The Calcutta officials accepted the
tender of the American company.
This is the first contract for loco
motives Americans have secured
abroad through lower prices. Pre-
vious contracts have come to this
country because of prompt delivery.

THE NEW COMET.
Brightest That Has Appeared to View for Over
Nineteen Years.

Elkhorn, Wis, April 30-The new
comet which was observed this morn
ing at the Yerkes observatory at Will
liams bay, is said by astronomers to
be the brightest that has appeared
for 10 years. Notice was received
yesterday by telegraph from Harvard
university that comet had been dis
covered at Queenstown April %, and
observed at Cape OF Good Hope on
the morning of April 25. Its position
at that time was about 16 degrees
southwest OF the sun. Its position
this morning was some Is degrees
north of the sun, indicating a very
rapid northeasterly movement.
Nothing could be seen of the celes-
tial visitor last evening at sunset, but
this morning Professor E. R. Frost,
assisted by F. R. Sulliavn, saw the
new comet appear above the horizon.
About 20 minutes before sunrise it
could be plainly seen, although the
sky was quite bright. 1t was of an
orange color, with two prominent
kits or streamers. 1t remained visz
ible until Is minutes or more after
sunrise, when it faded away in the
growing light. It was too low in the
sky to be observed by the 40 inch
telescope, and the sky was so bright
that nothing could be seen with the
IL inch instrument,
