CORNWALL TO NOVA SCOTIA
Wireless Messages Received by the
Morse Code.

Sidney N. S.. Nov. 6.-The success OF
wireless telegraphy as a means for trans
Atlantic communication is now practically
assured, according to the statement of
Commander Martin Of the Italian cruiser
Carlo Alberto, which Marconi is using in
his experiments.
Commander Martin stated that q wire
less message was received OF Sidney har-
Dor on Saturday from the station at Corn
wall, Eng.
This distance is by far the longest yet
covered by wireless telegraphy.
On board the warship are several mes
sages received from the Cornwall station
on the way, most Of them being messages
Of congratulation to Marconi from the
Car Of Russia and the King of Italy. The
Carlo Alberto can send messages but 15t
miles, but she receives any distance. The
messages were all received in the Morse
code, and without exception were com
pletely taken.

200 MILES ON FOOT
Dukhobors Have Travelled That Far
and Are Yet III Miles From
Winnipeg.
North Dakota Farmer, Who Is in
Manitoba to Buy Land, Has
a Strange Experience.

Special to The journal. s.;
Winnipeg, Man., Nov. 6.--The Dukhobor
craze has extended to Winnipeg and vi
cinity. Oscar Hanson, farmer from near
Bismarck n. D., drove out to Headingly
to look at some land in that vicinity which
he was thinking Of purchasing. He says:
II was driving toward Winnipeg and
had passed st. Charles. AS I crossed q
bridge just this side of the village
heard low, monotonous sound coming
out of the dusk some distance ahead. AS
l got nearer the point the sound seemed
to be coming from, my horse SHE'D at
something by the side Of the road.
pulled up, and got out and 1t proved to be
a man kneeling near the ditch in prayer.
II asked him what was the matter, but
he made no sign that he heard me for
several minutes, continuing his mo-
notonous prayer. At length he got up
and said in very broken English that he
was going to meet his brother and from
his appearance I judged he was Duk-
hobor. He was evidently warmly clad.
and wore heavy, long rubber boots. He
said he had just completed his evening
meal. and was giving thanks to God.
asked him what he had for his supper
and he said bread
II was turning to get into my rig again
| when he came around in front Of me and
said: Come, find Jesus. Turn away
horse and Walk-fnd Jesus He did not
seem in the least insane and had strik
ingly pleasant face, being seemingly very
Intelligent
HE smiled down at me. for he was a
very tall man and his voice was appeal
ing. When I said No he bowed his
head and STROBE off into the night. AS
started on my way to Winnipeg 1 heard
his strong voice singing. His song did
| not sound like hymn, but seemed more
| like a ballad with which he was cheering
| his loneliness.
II tell you.' said Mr.. Hanson. as he
finished his story. " it gave me queer
| sensation I don't take much stock in
| religion and that sort Of thing, but the
| look that man gave me when he asked me
| to Come, find Jesus has haunted me ever
| since. and the first thing I know I'll get
religion and go and hire out as an evan
gelist.''
1t Is evident from this story that the
Dukhobor is starting out to meet the army
which is on it's way to Winnipeg.
The pilgrims are at Shoal Lake, III
miles from Winnipeg. They have already
travelled over 200 miles on foot.
Saw a Big Fire.
A special from Gladstone says: 1.-THE
| train with the Dukhobor women and
children arrived at Gladstone at 10
o'clock last night, when a $4,000 fire was
In progress. The Dukhobors became
greatly excited on seeing the wooden
buildings burning in lively fashion. You
are taking us the wrong way, to the
wrong bad place; we want to 60 tc
Jesus they said, pointing at the fire and
trying to leave the train.

THROWS COLD WATER.
President Ripley Makes Another
Statement About Panama Canal.

President E. r. Ripley, of the Santa
Fe, discussing the immediate prospects
of the road, said:
I'VE are looking forward to a very
prosperous year. OF course, our earn
ingS for January and February will be
greater than for the same months last
year There is no real trouble to cut
our profits as there was then. In other
matters the road promises well-very
we'll. I may say we have made new
arrangements for our transpacific trade,
giving up our own line and using all the
Pacific lines that run into San Fran
cisco. The traffic will not be distrib-
uted among these lines on any settled
basis, but will go to whatever ships are
most convenient at the time. We think
the arrangement will result in more
prompt service and delivery across the
ocean. The canal is a question of the
future, and of the distant future, if
am correct in my opinion. The govern
ment estimates that it will consume ten
years in building, and cost 5000, 900.
1t is a notorious fact that it is safe to
double the government figures on such
undertakings. If that canal is finished
inside twenty years and for less than
$400, 10000 it will be a surprise to many
who should know. AS to its effect on
transcontinentar lines, that is too far
away to be considered. Great changes
can come in twenty. or even in ten
years, so the effect upon railways in
general, and Santa Fe in particular, is
problematicaL Just now the people at
large are very enthusiastic about the
matter, but l am content to be one of
the minority"

ANOTHER ATTEMPT.
Vandals Try to Wreck Train on Rock
Island Eel Paso Line.

The FL Paso Times says: Another
attempt to wreck an En- Paso-R Rock
Island train was made Friday night, or
rather there were two simultaneous at
tempts made, as spikes were driven
between the ends of the rails at mile
posts 2O5 and 211, beyond Carrizoso.
There are mixed trains now running
between Carrizoso and Santa Rosa, the
same as between this city and Captain,
and it was the south-bound of these
that the attempt was made upon. In
cold weather the rails contract so that
quite a space is left between their ends
and in these spaces several spikes
were driven, but they failed to derail
the train.
Billy Smith, special officer of the
road, who was successful in catching
the vandals who made the attempt to
wreck the train near this city, left
yesterday morning for the scene of the
latest attempts and will probably soon
have the other fellows safe behind the

BUYS HrDALeo NORTHERN.
Stilwell Said to Have Invested in O
Railroad

Austin, Tex. Feb. Fit is reported in
Mexican railway circles on what is con-
sidered good authority, that the Hidalgo
Northern railroad has been sold to A f.
Stilwell and associates. 1t was reported
several weeks ago that this deal was
pending. Richard Honey. the principal
owner of the road. has just returned to
Mexico from a visit to New York, where
he is said to have been successful in con-
Summatins the deal.
This road runs from the City of Mexico
to a point north of Pachuca in the direc-
ton of the port of Tampico. 1t is further
stated that it is the plan of Mr.. Stilwell
and associates to extend the line north to
Brownsville, Tex. near the mouth of the
Rio Grande, passing through the ports of
Tuxpam and Tampico. The charter of the
Panhandle and Gulf Railway company.
which is the Texas corporation of the
Kansas City. Mexico and Orient enter
prise, provides for the building of a
branch line from some point near San
Angelo Tex, to Brownsville passing
through San Antonio.
1t is supposed that If Mr.. Stilwen and
associates have acqured the Hidalgo
Northern that it is their purpose to form
a new direct line between Kansas City
and intermediate points and the City of
Mexico by way of San Antonio Browns
vile and TaniDicO.

NEW SUMMER ATTRACTION.
Rock Island to Boom Camping For
Colorado Tourists.

Camping in the Rocky mountains will
be one of the inducements offered to
Colorado and Utah tourists this sum-
mer by the various western lines The
idea was suggested by the inability of
the Colorado resort hotels to care for the
business, and the popularity of some ex-
periments made in that direction by
tourists last year. This year railway
officials will attempt to have supply
depots established at Denver and other
junction points, where tourists can Sc
cure camp outfits and information re-
garding the best places to camp. The
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and
the Denver and Rio Grande have each
employed experienced campers to work
out the details and present the facts in
an attractive form. The rates this year
will probably be the same as those in
foice last year.

From Ell Paso.

EI Paso, Tex, Feb. 12.-The exten-

A in this city may be moved to Alfalfa,
about seven miles east OF town, new
city of 5000 people may arise at that
place and Ell Paso may be only a. way
station of the Southern Pacific.
The foregoing is one of the. stern pos
sibilities which El Paso now faces. Ac-
tuaI preparations for the move have
been under way for some time. This
may not necessarily mean that the
move will surely be made, but it is at
least indicative of the fact that the
company contemplates making a move.
The management of the road has said
that if the prosecutions which have
been made against the road in this city
are kept up the shops will be moved
away and they are evidently making
preparations to make their bluff good.
The G. H. & S. A. claims that the city
council of FL Paso is unfair to it.

for a job. You just ought to try it out
on the Southern Pacific for a while.
Why, there isn't enough freight NOV
ing over the line to keep the rails from
rusting. OF course, it's all on account
of the dull season, and the bunch of us
who got nicely canned there the other
day were all expecting it. I heard they
along, only to find that there was just
a little canning going on up here. But
you don't want to think you're the only
people having quiet days.

The germs of an ordinary cough only

Heretofore there was some excuse for
