PROBLEMS OF PHILIPPINES.
Audience Voted Almost Unanimously
In Favor of independence.

New York, December H.-President
Jacob G. Schurman of Cornell university
delivered an address tonight on The
Problems of the Philippines to large
audience in the Peoples institute, Cooper
Union. He was heartily applauded when
he stated his belief that the United States
must ultimately give the Filipinos their
Independence A vote of the audience on
the question of endorsing President
Schurman's views was given almost
unanimously In their favor.
In the course of his address President
Schurman said that in his talk with
President Mckinley at the time of his ap-
pointment to the Philippine commission
he learned that the President had acted
with an idea of giving emancipation to
the Fflpinos as well as to the Cubans.
Asked by a member of the audience If
the Monroe doctrine had not been weak
ened by the acquisition of the Philip
pines, President Schurman remarked that
"Theodore Roosevelt is at this moment

SUCCESS COMES AFTER
EIGHT EXPERIMENTS.

Halifax, N. s., December H.-After
greatest secrecy Marconi announces that
he has solved the problem Of wireless
transatlantic transmission and has Sue
cessfully transmitted messages from the
shores of Canada to the coast of Eng
land. The formal announcement of this
achievement -Sas made by the inventor
wireless messages had been successfully
transmitted and forwarded from the gov-
ernor general of Canada to King Edward
VII of Great Britain and to the Fling
of Italy. DR.. George r. Perkin. principal
of Upper Canada college, trustee of
Rhodes scholarships was present when
one of the successful tests were made.
Prior to December 10. 1901. the greatest
distance covered by wireless telegraphy
scarcely exceeded 100 miles. Early in
that year Marconi visited New Found
land and from Signal Hill commenced
experiments with Cornwall, and on De-
cember 12 and 13 of that year, faint
signals of the letter 81 repeated several
times were caught by ear only with the
aid of telephones Later on Marconi. on
board the steamship Philadelphia, bound
for America, succeeded in establishing
communication with Cornwall a dis
tance of POO miles. Trans-oceanic mes
sages also were received on board the
Italian warship Carlo Alberto, while the
vessel lay at ;.nchor in Sydney harbor on
October 81 and since then Marconi has
been perfecting the apparatus at Table
Head. He met with innumerable diff
culties there but at last has succeeds
in sending a trans-oeeanic wireless M
sage from Canada to Cornwall.

The Carlo Alberto some days ago
ordered to proceed to Venezuela. bhp as
her immediate departure would seriously
delay Marconfs operations, the order was,
modified, and she was held at Sydney uni
