MESSAGES ACROSS THE OCEAN.
Marconi's Dispatches Cover Distance
of Over 1000 Miles.

New York, March 3.-The most amaZ-
ing triumph which wireless telegraphy
has yet achieved was told when the
steamer Philadelphia arrived with the
inventor Marconi aboard, he having
maintained communication with the
Cornwall signal station throughout
nearly all of the 3,OO0mile journey
from Cherbourg to New FORK.
Captain A. h. Mills. master of the
Philadelphia, bears witness to the fact
that six messages We're received during
the first'fou days of the run. these be-
ing when the steamship was $50 miles
distant from Poldhu. the Marconi sig.
nal station, and ending when the yes.
sci was 2,O99 miles from that point.
And the other officers of ship attest
with their signatures the accuracy OF
this statement.
Mr.. Marconi took these precautions
that the skeptical might be convinced
The young inventor Is very proud OF
the tape bearing the IS" signal, which
was received when 1000 miles distant
from the station, and which is signed
and certified by Captain Mills and
Chief officer Marsden.
The first of the messages was receiv.
ed ut n distance of $50 miles on Febru.
airy 23d. The signal only was received
February 26th. over 2099 miles of sea.
All the messages We're one way-all

cArTLEMEN MEET IN DENVER.
Speaker Montgomery Has Verbal
Tilt With the National Live
Stock President.

Denver, March 4.-President w.
Lloyd Grubb opened the Colorado
Stock and Horse Growers Association
Monday by introducing Governor Or
man, who officially welcomed the dele
gates.
Speaker Montgomery Of the House Of
Representatives and President John
w. Springer of the National Live Stock
Association furnished the sensation of
the afternoon session. Mr. MOntgom-
cry took exceptions to remarks made
by Mr.. Springer and the two had a
lively tilt over the fate of the stock
bill in the Thirteenth General Assem-
bly,.
Mr.. Springer declared, in the course
of speech on the cause of the defeat
of the bill asking for consolidation of
the sanitary and stock inspection
boards, that the stockmen in Colorado
believed that half the state legislators
should be wiped out" He said the
reason there was not sufficient money
in the treasury of the state Of Colorado
was that the Legislators and other state
servants had too much of 1t. He
closed his remarks by deriding the
Bucklin bill, saying stockmen had
brains enough to take care of their
own business.
Speaker Montgomery deprecated Mr..
Springer's criticism on the Legislature.
He explained that the bill in question
was not defeated in the House, as
Mr.. Springer had charged. ut simply
was not reached for final consideration
in the House when the time for ad-
journment had came" he said. Il be-
lieve that the House would have
passed that bill if it had come to a
vote"
He continued: 81 want to impress up
on this convention the propriety and
the wisdom of considering all the fun
damental interests within the state.
All our interests, mining, stock and
agricultural, are so interviewer, under
Tying the prosperity of the state, that
we cannot ignore either of them. They
must go hand in hand without preju-
dice dividing"
A resolution pledging the organiZa-
ton to lay side party politics in Sc
lecting members of the State Legisla-
ture and state officers was adopted.

however did the court consider the precedent
OF the case that the motion for a dissolution
