WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY
GENERAL GREELY DENIES STORIES

Says the Signal Service Has Had All
1t Can Do With Wires in
the Philippines.

Gen. A. W. Greedy. chief Of the United
States signal service declared with en-
phasis this afternoon that there was abso-
lutely and unqualifiedly no foundation for
the dispatch sent from Washington, and
which appeared in a New York newspaper
this morning, that his Office had succeeded
in establishing a wireless telegraphic COM
keys and the coast Of Cuba.
Several stories relating to wireless tel
egraphy and the work Of the signal corps
have been foated Of late. but they were
without any foundation whatever, Gen.
Greedy said. ''The stories. manufactured
out of whole cloth. have caused the signal
service office a great deal of unnecessary
work In the way of correspondence.
Among the stories was one that I
wanted name that would apply to a wire
less telegram. l can't tell you how many
letters the office has received on that sub
1ect. AS we make it rule to answer all
letters 1t added just SO much to our labors
1.-THE fact is the signal corps has not done
a single days experimental work for a
year or more.
I'VE are trying to keep our head above
water In the Philippines We have 6,4OO
there There are probably 1000 miles more
for military purposes that have been aban-
doned or recovered.
Extreme difficulty has been encountered
in enlisting telegraph operators because of
the reduced pay given the signal corps

This bill was introduced in the House

aid has been asked 1t has been promised,

to be the only government employees that
are not included in the bill now pending.
This neglect Is said to be due to the fact
that they are compensated by fees, and the
only way they can obtain relief is by act Of
Congress-. Nearly every internal revenue

DEMAND FOR OUR COAL.
Increasing Consumption of Gas in
Austria,


United States Consul Hossfeld at Trieste
has written to the State Department rela-
tive to the Increasing demand for American
gas coal in Austria. especially the high
grade product. The consul says that the
production of artificial gas is advancing In
Austria. and attributes It 20 two causes:
FIRST an incandescent gas burner an
Austrian invention, which is in general
use. has greatly increased the efficiency of
gaSlight, and in a measure re-established
the popularity of gas as an iluminant;
second, the relentless war which is being
waged against the smoke nuisance In
many cities has led a large portion OF the
smaller establishments to employ gas as
their motive power. The increased con-
sumption of gas has caused many new gas
works TO be constructed.
statement recently published in a Ger
man gas journal TO the effect that at a test
made IN London an American coal had
yielded 1890 cubic feet of gas per ton re-
suited in the receipt of the following mes
sage at the United States consulate from
the manager OF a gas works at Graz 2JO
miles north OF Trieste:
The statement is astounding If II be
true. 1t would pay even in Graz to use
American coal"
Consul Hossfeld concludes by saving
that with properly directed efforts a good
market can be established here (Trieste)
for superior grades of American gas coal
have not the least doubt"

George G. Ward. vice president of the
Postal Telegraph Cable Company. who ap-
peared before the naval affairs committee
of the Senate yesterday to further the in
terests of the cable which John w. Mackay
proposes to construct between the Pacific
coast and the Philippines, said to a Star re-
porter: I'VE do not want governmental
aid, but We do not want the government to
allow concessions to other companies that
1t will not grant us. There are now seven
companies who want to begin operations
We have let all our contracts, and the
cable is being manufactured for us in Eng
land.
Had We not given out our contracts and
made all arrangements for laying the cable
We would, In all probability, have worked
for the development of Marconfs invention
But we shall go on now with the work. ir-
respective of Marconis success or failure
to annihilate space without the aid of
wires. l don't believe his invention, If per-
fected, will ever be practical for COM
mercial purposes. The cable, as proposed
by Mr.. Mackay. will cost between S12,-

worse than the first although 1t would
unquestionably be a blessing to the con-
sumers of sugar In the United States, and
our fruit growing, cannino preserving
industries, wnIcn would greatly develop
and prosper with cheap sugar.
Proper Concessfons.
Now. as to what concessions should be
made to Cuba. 1 believe it would be to the
interest of the Cubans and American flour
and provision interests and American fruit
canning and preserving interests and the
interests Of all American consumers of
sugar If what the Cubans ask could be
granted, viz, free raw sugar and one-half
the present duties on tobacco and cigars.
But II In your wisdom you think we cannot
go as far as that at this time, then the
very least concession which should be made
shouid be 90 per cent on all her products;
ana with this, it should be remembered it
would still leave her products subject to
duty equal to the average on the dutiable
products received by US from all other coun-
tries
This would lower by one-half the high
tarlH wall which We have erected against
cur ward. And II she in return would es-
tablish tariff averaging 80 per cent on her
inportat1ons, she could reciprocally reduce
that one-half on her importationS from the
United States; and this would enable her
merchants to buy all of their supplies in
the United States, three-fifths of which
they now buy in Europe. This would not
violate the most favored nation clause in
treaties with other countries, because no
country could offer Cuba such inducements
as we would offer her by such an arrange
ment. And 1t would still give her sufficient
rev enue. because her present tariff, estab
lished by our War Department for Cuba,
only averages about 25 per cent
American products would still enter the
Cuban market at the present rate, but
those of other countries would have to pay
the higher rate; hence. we would get the
trade, and large and increasing trade
because with increased purchasing power
on the part of her people Cuba would be-
come one of our most important markets"
