MARVELLOUS rELEaRApHv.
vs..sls Easily Communicate with
Each Other While Far Apart.

New York, Jan. 16.-Through the
wireless telegraph system the Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse, just arrived from
Bremen, Southampton and Cherbourg,
was for half the trip to the eastward
and a large part Of her westward voy-
age In almost constant communication
with other vessels or the shore. The
ship was practically floating tele-
graph station. Captain HOgemann
thus told of the telegraphic marvels:
"It was the most complete test Of
the Marconla system that We have
ever had. Herr Kronkent, operator Of
the Kaiser Wilhelm. was formerly the
Marconi expert and familiar with the
latters Instruments. December 10th,
Off the banks Of Newfoundland, the
KAISER ran into heavy fog. Late
Monday night the Kaiser ran into clear
weather again. Herr Kronkent flashed
to the Lucania this message:
".We are twenty-five miles east Of
the banks and in clear weather. to
which the Lucania replied: We are
still in the fog, sixty miles astern.
Many thanks
Communication between the two
vessels ceased December 18th, when
we were eighty-five miles apart, or
practically half way across the ocean.
and after we had conversed nearly six
ty-sIx hours"
When off the Lizard the record Of
Herr Kronkent shows that twelve mes
sages from the Lucania were flashed
and reply stated that all Of them had
been correctly caught on shore. OF the
Marconl successes on the eastward
trip Captain Hagerman said:
I'VE passed the KrOn Prinz Wilhelm,
bound east, almost in mid-ocean, when
the two vessels were forty-one miles
apart. Greetings were exchanged be-
tween the passengers and positions
given.
"Off Nantucket llghtship soon after
midnight twelve dispatches were sent
ashore and all received. The Marconi
system is a most valuable attachment
to ship in case of accident or ship
wreck. AS an example Of Its value in
locating positions, l refer to a recent
trip of the Kaiser, during which
should have picked up the revolving
light of the Nantucket lightship. 1t
failed to show up and the lookout pick
ed up instead two fixed white lights.
"'Have you two fixed white lights?'
I asked through the air. The answer
was flashed back: Yes. Our other light
Is out of ORDER"

EARTHQUAKE IN MEXICO.
II Alarms the Members Of the Pan
American Conference.

American Conference.
Mexico City, Jan. 1.-THE event OF
the day in the Pan-American confer
ence, was, 1t may be said, the earth
quake this afternoon. The Chileans
had prolonged throughout the entire
morning their dilatory tactics. The
burden Of their speeches was always
the same: 1--WE are all in favor Of The
Hague convention, but 1t must not pass
through the conference without discus
sion."
Mr.. Buchanan of the United States,
Senior Macedoo OF Mexico, and Senior
Bermejo Of Argentine, made speeches
asking In turn ''if we are all agreed,
what is there to discuss"
At the afternoon session the Chilean
delegates resumed their speech-making.
Senior Alzamora Of Peru had just risen
to reply, when Il premonitory trepiua-
ton spread CONSERVATION through the
assembly, and for nearly one minute
afterward the gifden hall OF sessions
swayed and groaned like the saloon of
an ocean liner. The delegates sprnng
from their chairs and grabbed their
desks In alarm, but were reassured by
the calmness of the MeXicans. The
proceedings Were lhteirupteu AoA A"A's
ten minutes.
When Senior AlZamora resumed his
speech he alluded in temperate though
unmistakable terms to the difhculties
which Chile had put in the way OF the
convention Of the conference, and the
obstacles she Is now making to the
transaction Of business. Blestanga OF
Chile had an effective answer.
The session terminated at $50
o'clock without coming to n vote on
the plan of accepting The Hague
articles.

Think soer Blew Up Transport.

New Orleans, Jan. 16.-It Is believed
In shipping circles here that British
transport, laden with American mules
bound for South Africa, has been
either intercepted and blown up by a
Boer spy In the gulf Of Mexico or has
fOundered.
A schooner arriving on the lower
coast reports hundreds of dead mules
floating for a distance of thirty miles.
This news has greatly stirred shippers
here, who fear that further desperate
attempts will be made to stop the ex-
port of mules to Cape Town.
The more conservative element at
tributes the floating carcasses to a dis

Denver, Jan. ia special to the

A revolver duel at close range In alb

Stratton's Independence mine was
fought at o'clock this morning be-
tween four officials and employees Of
the big mine and us many ore thieves
who had been discovered in the act OF
taking out ore from a rich streak. Lee
Glockner, one of the attacking party,
received a bullet in either arm and
was internally injured by fall. The
thieves escaped In the darkness.
The ore thieves were discovered at
their work by a night watchman who
Immediately reported to the mine office
when Manager Shipman, calling to his
aid Assistant Manager Grant, Superin-
tendent Leod and the boss ore sorter,
Lee Glockner, descended to the fourth
level to surprise the robbers at their
work and arrest and hold them until
officers could be summoned. The four
men were all armed, but contemplated
no serious trouble in taking the ore
pirates.
The thieves were at work well up In
the wall Of stope, where an unus-
ually rich sand seam would render
them handsome returns for few min
utes' diligent effort. By their side were
the ore sacks which were being rap
idly filed with the gold and sand.
When Manager Shipman and party
had approached to within a few yards
of the thieves, Shipman ordered them
to throw up their hands. Instantly
the candles, by the light Of which tle
men had been working, were e1tin-

HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY.

A good idea for mending a hole in
an umbrella is to stick on very firm
ly black court plaster inside the
cover. This is not as much seen as a
darn.
Economical women are making
bags to wear at the side of velvet,
brocaded or plain silk, and some
times of cloth to match the skirt.
They are very simply made and fas-
tened on the belt with black ribbon.
An excellent way to use again a
little left of a vegetable like peas,
beans or corn is to add to one cupful
of leftover cupful of hot water
and neat. Wash, strain and reheat.
Blend half tablespoonful each of
butter and flour, season, and stir in
the vegetable liquor. Add half cup
full of hot milk and serve.
Wallpapers that have become
bruised or have been slightly torn,
and which cannot be matched, are
not necessarily ruined. They can be
touched up with water-color paints,
so that at very little distance no
damage is perceptible. The paints

enough, but you must mix the colors
to get the right shades and then
touch in the broken pattern.
