the success achieved by this method in trans
hitting messages without wires
Regarding the experiments on the voyage
over. Mr.. B1enheim said that he had received
messages at a distance Of 1000 miles sea, but

able TO transmit a message for a distance not
exceeding 300 miles.
While standing out to sea. nearly three hun
dred miles from Holyhead, England. the station
that point was picked up. he said, and for
several hours messages were received and trans
rnitted. The Morse alphabet is used in trans

Mr.. Blenheim declares that with the Muirhead
system he car intercept messages being sent be
tween any two given points, even though the

nate any trouble. for the powers that be- at
headquarters are. or should be, law abioihs
citizens. and will doubtless respect the law
Mr. Cookers intention is as it always has been,
10 maintain the discipline of the department al
lowing no personal differences to initiate

Commissioner Sturgis, when seen at his home
last night. spoke freely on the subject OF ChleI
Crcler's dismissal.

Then if Mr.. Croker comes to Fire Head
