Never Writes His Speeches.

One of the Northern newspapers re-
Gently sent word to it's correspondent
here to procure an advance copy OF the
address that Senator Hanna intended to
deliver before certain non political So
ciety. The correspondent wired back 20
his paper: Hanna never writes out his
speeches.
And, as a matter OF fact, the junior
Senator from Ohio not only never writes
out his speeches in advance. but he never
even makes any notes worth mentioning
And he does not commit them to memory.
as some of the best of the ''extempora-
neous" speakers do. He talks as truly
ON the bat" as any other Senator in the
chamber. He1knows his subject thorough
ly. both his own side of 1t and the other
the one almost as well as the other, and
that is all the preparation he. makes.
There is hardly a man on either side of
the Senate that makes a better speech.
The man that hears him for the first time
is certain to be surprised, II one may not
say astounded. Mr.. Hanna had never made
speech In his life until a few years ago.
He was not supposed to have a speech in
him anywhere. Perhaps. and indeed 1t
has been said on good authority, that this
was his own opinion.
He began to talk for Mr.. Mckinley dur
ing his first campaign. Some Of the
newspaper correspondents said he talked
very we'll. and some OF them made fun
OF the speeches. None OF them really took

Mr.. Simmons Gets a Laugh.

The heartiest and most spontaneous out
burst Of laughter that has occurred in the
Senate this session greeted an impromp-
tu remark of Mr. Simmons of North Car
olina. And unfortunately for Mr.. Sim
mons, the great laugh was against him.
II was during the fight over State poll
ties between the two North Carolina SEN
ators. The Democratic organization known
as the Red Shirts was under discussion
and Mr. Simmons was defending II against
the attacks of his colleague. He was say
ing that it did not commit acts of vio-
lence, and did not intimidate voters.
And docs the Senator mean to say"
Mr.. Pritchard asked. that the Red Shirts
did not terrorize their section?"
Il mean TO say emphatically that the
Red Shirts were simply political asso-
citation, and that their object simply and
solely was the more effective organization
of the voters
II was this use Of the word "organiza-
toin" that caught everybody in the Senate
and in the galleries. Even Mr.. Simmons
himself joined in the fun after moment,
though his laugh developed no further
than a smile.

Information has been received here OF
wireless telegraphy experiments conduct
ed by the United States Weather Bureau
by direction and authority of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture that were more sue
cessful than any heretofore made.
According to Prof. Willis B. Moore. the
Superintendent of the Weather Bureau.
the experiments have demonstrated the
feasibility OF sending wireless telegraphic
messages at sea as quickly and as ac-
curately as over land wires.
The experiments are being made from
Cape Hatteras to Roanoke Island, a dis
tance of 81 miles. by an entire saltwater
route. Brig. Gen. A. W. Greedy. chief of
the Army Signal Service. returned last
night from witnessing them. and today
and Saturday there will be tests by a
naval board. which went to Hatteras for
the purpose.
Prof. Moore said last night that while
II was not believed by the Weather Bureau
that any system of wireless teiegraphy
would be thoroughly successful, the tests
between Hatteras and Roanoke Island had
shown that over a salt water route wire
less messages could be sent accurately and
quickly and more rapidly than messages
sent by wire. The great success that has
attended the tests is attributed by Prof.
Moore to an improvement in the naval
system of doing away with the Branley
coherer and substituting for 1t tele-
phone receiver which proceed to be far
superior.
A New Receiver.
I'VE have devised new wireless re-
ceiver which receives by telephone as ac-
curately as by wire" said Prof. Moore.
provided. Of course. that the message is
transmitted over salt water.
II don't care to make any statement
that may seem exaggerated, as to what
may be accomplished by this system. We
have no stock to sell and nothing to boom,
and what we say we have done may be
relied uoon as accurate.

him seriously at first. Most of them
thought he was making a great mistake.
In very short time he had warmed
up to his subject, and forgotten his diff
dence. He talked as IL he were ex-
pounding a business deal TO a board OF
tempts at oratory. And he was, sue
cessful.
Since that time he has made wonder
ful strides. The points about the Hanna
Of today as a speechmaker are these:
He has a good, strong voice. not with
out magnetism.
He sees the vital point OF an argument
quickly and clearly. and brings 1t out so
that his hearers see 1t, too, and are hit
by it hard.
He is quick at repartee, even witty at
times. with real and convincing wit.
He is persistent. He is passionately In
earnest.
And, perhaps, in addition to all this
he has an influence over nearly any hear
er because he is Hanna. the millionaire.
political leader. the winner Of campaigns.
In the Senate speech by Hanna has
come to be regarded as distinct event,
not to be missed. He always says some
thing worth hearing and in manner the
very reverse of tedious. He always con-
tributes salient and convincing and win
ming points to an argument.
But he is not only famous in the Sem
ate and on the stump. In the Gridiron
Club he stands fire like veteran and
has always a return fire that is distinct
ly successful.
As a maker Of speeches Mr.. Hanna has
less experience than almost any other
man in the Senate. He Is. one might al
most say, an infant. But he is undoubt-
edly and unqualifiedly most precocious

GOVERNMENT TESTS OF
WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY

less route at about the fastest rate OF
wire telegraphy over land wire. re-
ceived a telegraphic report that the trans
mission OF this message was eBnentiy
satisfactory, every thing expected beng
done"
The Signal Corps Of the army and the
Bureau OF Equipment OF the Navy De-
partment have been engaged for the past
two years in endeavors to find a system
Of wireless telegraphy that would prove
practical and feasible for the particular
uses of military expeditions in the field
and on warships at sea.
Unsatisfactory Results.
Rear Admiral Il. R. Bradford, Chief OF
the Naval Bureau. has been very active
in making inquiries and conducting ex-
periments. but so far he has not obtained
results which were entirely satisfactory.
Arrangements with Signor Mareoni were
suggested but the negotiations fell
through account of the high prices
asked for installing wireless system on
warships.
Admiral Bradford decided to have
ments are now being purchased abroad by
American naval attaches. The tests will
be made over a land route between tho
Washington Navy Yard and the Naval
Academy at Annapolis.
The success of the Weather Bureau ex-
periments between Hatteras and Roanoke
Island is particularly important to the
navy, as II shows the feasibility OF easy
and accurate communication between
naval vessels at sea.
General Greely has arranged to receive
bids for establishing wireless telegraph
routes in Alaska TO secure communication
in winter between military posts and
principal points in the Territory. One
route is to be established between st.
Michaels or Stewart Island to the gold
seeking colony of Nome.
General Greedy has been alive to the
Importance OF utilizing wireless telegra-
ply for military purposes. and his inter-
est was shown by his desire to attend the
Weather Bureau experiments.
Prof. Moore will submit an official re-
port of the tests to the Secretary of Ag-
riculture, and reports will be submitted
also by General Greedy and the naval
board to the Secretary Of War and the
Secretary Of the Navy respectively.
