CoLoRs SENT BY TELEGRAPH.
A Remarkable Invention Perfected
by New York Engineer.

NEW YORK, May Phillip K. Stearn.
a mechanical and electrical engineer at 130
Fulton Street, said today that he has per-
fected and now has patents pending for
an apparatus for the transmission Of op-
tical images in cOlOrs. The device will be
known as the teloptoscOpe-
The principle upon which the thing
works is this" Mr.. Stearn said The
transmission is first used upon the optical
image TO be sent. The luminous rays are
transformed into electric currents and
sent 70 the receiving end over an ordinary
electric circuit. One additional wire is
necessary, however, for manipulating the
receiving apparatus
The electric currents are again en-
ployed at the distant end to vary the in
tensity of the ray of light which is thrown
onto the receiving instrument. The picture
so received will be in one color, but by
an arrangement of three cOlored screens

the proper tints. If it is desired to photo

MUST BUY MORE PANTS.
Trousers Taken From the Yankton
Sioux to Be Returned.

On or about the 1st day of June, 1896,
the Government purchased 435 pairs of
boys pants paid for out of the regular
appropriation of 100000 made available
that fiscal year for educating the Yank-
ton Sioux Indians. The Indian Office had
been doing this since 1871, in accordance
with a treaty made the year before with
the red men, by which the Government
undertook to provide subsistence and civ
ilization' for the Yankton Sioux. These
pants were paid for out of this "subsist-
ence and civilization fund for the year
1896, and in their purchase, the Govern
ment presumed. according to the act of
Congress making the appropriation, to
cover the nakedness of 435 Indian boys of
the Yankton Sioux tribe to more or less
extent.
But the Government did not do this. 1t
bought the pants. but finding that this
particular lot of 435 pants could not be
used by the boys of the Yankton Sioux,
for the reason that they were already well
provided for in this sort of civilization"
and that there were 495 boys of the Pine
Ridge Agency who needed trousers very
badly, the Secretary of the Interior au-
thorized their transfer to the Pine Ridge
Agency. The pants were transferred.

in Washington began in March 1899, when
the Auditor for the Interior Department
asked what appropriation those pants
should be charged to. Il had come to his
attention that by the action of the depart
ment, 435 pairs of boys pants that should
have goneT toward the education of the
Yankton Sioux, had been in fact worn by
435 Pine Ridge boys, thus robbing the
Yankton Sioux youths of just that many
pants, which they were entitled to by act

yesterday Comptroller Tracewell rendered
a decision thai the Government must now

work and the men whom he has in
training, there will be narrowing and
not a broadening influence in college
life.
A great deal depends upon the age of
the students. In the old days the boy
entered Harvard at fourteen and was
graduated at eighteen; thus the college
training was merely an addition of four
years to his school life. Now he is
more likely to begin at eighteen or
twenty and finish his course perhaps as
late as twenty-five. In that case he is
thrown upon the world with all its les
sons yet to learn, when his comrade
who has not been to college is doing
his life work There has already been
a change in the spirit of some American
universities. The students call them
selves men, and learn the world along
with the tasks of the classroom. AS a
matter Of fact, they are neither man
nor boy. They retain the Irresponsible
ty of the urchin with the impulses and
temptations of the man; they study les
sons whose usefulness they have not
proved, and in many cases hardly
understand; they cannot easily be con-
trolled by faculty which is expected
at the same time to be devoted to study
and research and to the duties of the
classroom. The effect on youth with
out much thoughtfulness or strength of
character is generally bad. If thrown
into the world and obliged to earn his
own living, he might be sobered; kept
in tutelage he is reckless, irresponsible,
and often vicious. In short, the college
should be place for men or for boys,
not a combination of the two. The boy
cannot be trusted to guide himself; the
man must take his risks. It is futile to
expect either to do well under a regime
intended for the other. When the boy
becomes a man he should be saddied
with the RESPONSIBILITIES of one.

THE BATTLE FOR CONTROL.
Tremendous Speculation in Union
Pacific Yesterday

NEW YORK, May 1.-The opening on
the stock exchange this morning was
again marked by enormous trading and
rapid fluctuations in price, especially in
Union Pacific, where the contest for con-
troll remains active Volume of sales in
the first few minutes fell somewhat short
of yesterdays astonishing totals, but in
some stocks ten to eighteen thousand
shares changed hands before the tape had
time to record the opening.
Union Pacific, however fairly surpassed
all it's wild movements of recent days.
At the start, S000 shares were bought at
prices running to 11SA, against il61s at
yesterdays close. For half an hour, prices
held around these opening figures. Then
came sudden rush OF heavy buying or
ders, and in hardly five minutes 32,000
shares had changed hands. running the
price up to 121. The tape then recorded
the following extraordinary series Of
transactions: LEGO shares at 1221k, 800 at
122&s. 1,O00 at 123, 500 at 123%4, 100 at 124.
1000 at 1241l 1000 at 1241z, 500 at 12424, 1,20o
at 125, 900 at 1251a, 1000 at 12611. 1000 at
123, 1000 at 1271k 500 at 127$4, 1,o00 at 12s.
$500 at 12S2s, 2,000 at 129.
At this figure the rise in Union Pacific
halted, and it was instantly followed by
immensely heavy selling. Sales of 15.7o0
shares broke the price from l29 to 121;
5000 more sent it to 1861, and quick sue
cessive sales, aggregating 500 shares,
forced it down to 12419. Sales were made
at the widest variations, and bidders on
more than one occasion had to pay full
point over the last quoted price to get
their stock
The shares of the steel consolidation led
at the opening in both activity and
strength. OF the common, 1900 shares
were sold before any quotations could be
sent out, at prices of !53A to 54A, against
5S1s at the closing yesterday. OF the pre-
ferred. 10000 shares were sold at 101 to
1913, against 101.
No one in official position would make
any comment today on the enormous buy
ing of Union Pacific shares, and none of
the directors or other interests connected
with the company would make any state
change in control. Chairman Z. II.
Hartman said he would not make any
statement of any character in relation to
the reports. and everyone else who could
speak by any official warrant was equally
non-communicative. Some interest was
aroused by a visit of President StiIlman
to the Union Pacific offices, but whether
this had any Significance could not be
learned. Mr. Stillman is a director of
President Hughitt of the Northwestern is
also on the Union Pacific board, and
Oliver Ames of Boston is also on both
boards. Zenos Crane, of Dalton, a di-
rector of the Union Pacific, was in the

MORE PORTO RICANs DEPART.
Greater Care Exercised in Selecting
Men for Hawaii

hth fuf faWdIts
NEW ORLEANS. May 1.-The steam
ship California, which arrived here from
Ponce. Porto Rico, brought only 522 native
immigrants en- route to Hawaii Mr. Min
vile. General Superintendent, who has
charge of this immigration, declares that
the smaller number of immigrants
brought this time-for the vessels have
heretofore been bringing from 500 to 1000
on each trip-was due not TO any opposi-
tion on the part of the natives and the
local authorities, but because the com
pany he is representing is more careful
in its selections and each applicant is
compelled to undergo a rigid examination
before a contract is made with him TO go
to Hawaii.
This assertion is supported by the fact
that the last party of Porto Ricans is of
a superior type physically to any yet
brought to New Orleans. Accompanying
the party was Antonio Lluveras, a large
coffee planter at Yauco. Porto Rico. who
is delegated by the natives to visit Homo
lulu for the express purpose of studying
the conditions in Hawaii.
Mr.. Liuveras says that much suffering
is experienced on the island, and that
the mortality is great. superinduced from
want OF nutritious food. These people
have never recovered from the ravages
OF the great storm and since then have
largely subsisted on piantains and other
fruit He stated that the vital statistics
show that the deaths exceeded by 1900
those of the year prior to the storm. The
coffee crop there was poor, much of the
yield rotting on the ground.
AS to the immigration, he thought it was
a godsend to the poor, and that Porto
Rico could well spare 100000 more for
Honolulu or any other country where the
condition of the men could be improved.
