Is believed that it will not be until late in the
day that the Prince will walk down the gang
way and across the pier at West Thirty-fourth-
St to the HOhenzollern This Opision is based
partly on the reports of the weather encountered
by incoming steamers and particularly upon
the non appearance of the Teutonic, which was
due here on Wednesday from Queenstown and
had not been sighted o'clock last evening
The MaIlitou, which arrived here from Lon
don yesterday, was two and one-h half days be-
hind time. She encountered a severe snow
STERN about il p. M. Sunday. which vas fol-
lowed by gale of wind four or five hours later
This storm continued for twenty-four hours
Apparently, 1t was following the Gulf Stream
and would be met by the Kronprinz possibly on
Tuesday
The Kronprinz, by special permission is talk
Ing the short course, which is about ninety
miles, or four hours, shorter than the course
used at this time Of the year by transatlantic
steamers. AS her December record of > DAYS
10 hours and h minutes, was made over the
long course, If she equalled that performance
she would make the record four hours less on
this trip, and establish new westbound trans
atlantic record. The Deutschland's best time
IN this direction is days, II hours and % min

1t is expected that within the next twelve
hours communication with the Kronprinz will
be obtained by wireless telegraph from the Nan
tucket Lightship.

ANOTHER WOMAN LEAPS FROM SECOND
STORY WINDOw-A THIRD Is CAR
RIED DOWN A LADDER

In fire at No. 90 East Eighty-seventh-st-
last evening, Mrs. Martha Merten, forty years
old, OF No 1,21S First-ave.. lost her life in a
peculiar maner. When found, after the fire, she
sitting upright in chair, and II is supposed
that fright or heart disease caused her death
before ths' flames reached her. Her body was
badly burned. The fire abounded in thrilling
incidents One woman jumped from a second
story window and another was carried down
ladder
The house in which the fire was has three
stories and basement. The basement and the
rear Of the parlor floor were occupied by Mrs.
Angelica Reeves. the front Of the parlor floor
by the Shawnee Club of the XXIXth Assembly
District, a political organization; the second
floor by Mrs. Louisa Liebershultz, and the third
floor by Mrs. Mary Mclean The fire started
in lower hallway Of the house, and spread
rapidly. The alarm was given by Policeman
Hearn, of the East Eighfy-eighth-st. station.
who saw smoke pouring from the lower win
dows and doors. Nearly all the doors Of the
house were open. and THIS fact converted the
Railways into a great fiue. in which the flames
swept upward.
When the fremen arrived in front Of the
house Mrs. Liebershu1tz. who is fifty years Old
standing in a window shrieking and wildly
waving her arms. The members OF hook ana
ladder company dragged their 30-foot ladder
from the truck and started to raise II. tlre1len
ana others shouted TO the woman not 10 jump
Just a moment before the ladder was placed IN
position a wave of fla me reached the woman
ana. uttering a piercing scream, she threw her-
self from the window She was picked up uh-
conscious and hurried 10 the Presbyterian nos
pitaI- 1t was said she probably would die from
internal injuries.
Meanwhile Mrs. Mclean had appeared at one
Of her windows on the third floor and added her
screams to the general din of shouts and cries
She obeyed the iremen and stayed where she
was until the ladder was raised and had peen
mounted by Fireman Patrick Okeefe, OF HOOK
and Ladder Company No 49, He carried Mrs.
Mclean to the street while the crowd IN the
street cheered and yelled The woman was ut
lie the worse for her experience
The body of Mrs Merten was found by Lieu
tenant KratocheviI of Truck no. Is. On the
floor near the dead woman he found the life
less body Of her little pet dog. The chair which
contained the woman was near a window HAD
she opened the window closed the door Of the
room, which would have delayed the progress
OF the fire the firemen think she might have
saved her life. Mrs. Merten was visiting ner
friend Mrs. Liebershultz
The fremen soon had the fire under control.
The damage is estimated at $1,000. Three cats,
two of them belonging to Mrs. Mclean and one

London. Feb. 20.-At a general meeting OF the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company to-day.
Marconi. who present, referring to the
transatlantic experiments. announced that the
next series OF tests would include the transmits
sion OF words and messages He added that
there was nothing TO prevent the company from
undertaking commercial communications with
ships at sea. The system at present was in
permanent use on board seventy ships, and
there twenty-five land stations. His
transmission OF twenty-five words in minute
did not compare badly with the work of the
cables The defects with reference to secrecy
had been removed. After perfecting arrange
ments in Canada. he would challenge Sir Will
messages The monopoly claimed by the Brit
ish postal telegraph had hitherto inpeded the
establishment of a wireless service in England
and Ireland.
Marconi complained that distractions were
thrown in his way on this side Of the Atlantic.
which was in marked contrast with the gener-
Gus encouragement which he had received from
the government and press Of the United States
and Canada
In regard to the commercial side OF the sys-
TEN, Marconi said that on the recent arrival OF
an American steamer, upward of eight thou
sand words We're received within sixteen hours
The transmission of this number OF words daily
across the Atlantic would represent an annual
income or $4,000 for each pair of stations and
the company. in the first instance, was proceed
