Accurate, Reliable and speedy over
Distance of Fifty Miles.
Washington, April 29.-Lieut. Beech
err, the naval expert on wireless teleg-
raphy, has returned to Washington
from his trip to the North Carolina
sounds, where he inspected the wealth
er bureau system of wireless teleg-
raphy installed between Roanoke ISL
and and a point on the mainland OPP
posite E1atteras, a distance of fifty
miles as the crow flies. The system
was found to work over that distance
with absolute accuracy, reliability and
high speed The latter is attained by
abandoning the troublesome "coherer,"
which is an indispensable part of al
most every other style of apparatus.
The new plant is extremely compact
and light and very strong point in
its favor is the small amount of bat
terry power required to operate 1t as
compared with other systems. This
makes for low cost of maintenance.
The eXperimenters are working on
selective device which is reported to
promise very we'll. Although Lieut.
Beecher has not yet made his formal
report to Admiral Bradford, there is no
doubt that he VIII recommend the in
stallation of an experimental set of

least one naval vessel.

Cities to Divide SI7.4O5,45O, of
Which Georgia and other South
ern States Get Their share.

cial order which allowed three hours
debate, but cut off all opportunity OF
amenoment, the House to-day passed
the omnibus public building bill which

buildings already authorized. 1t also
provides for the purchase of sixteen
sites. The majority for the bill was
SO overwhelming that only
nine members backed demand for the
ayes and nays on the passage of the

method by which it was proposed TO
pass the bill without opportunity for
amendment which Mr.. Mercer, chair
man OF the committee, answered by
stating that if the bill had been sub
Ject to amendment the appropriations
carried by it would have increased to
$50, O0O, 900.

the adoption of the special order, say
ing this method of legislation could not
be justified by any course of reason
ing.
Among those who spoke on the bill

Good showing, but south Needs

Washington, April 29.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is as follows:
Much needed and generally album
dant rains fell over a large part of
the Missouri, Upper Mississippi and
Lower Ohio valleys, but drought con-

Ohio Valley, Middle Atlantic states
and over the Southeastern Rocky
Mountain slope. Rain is now very gen.
orally needed over the greater part of
the Southern states, more particularly
in the eastern and western districts,
good showers having fallen over a por-
ton of the Central Gulf states.
Considerable corn has been planted
in Illinois, some in southern portions
or ONO and Iowa, and planting is well
advanced in Missouri. Kansas, Ken
lucky and Virginia In the Southern
states corn has made good growth and
is in various stages of cultivation. some
being ready to be laid by in Texas and
Louisiana.
Winter wheat has experienced inn
provement in Illinois and portions of
Missouri and is slightly improved in
Ohio and the Middle Atlantic states.
Inc crop is reported to have suffered
no injury as a result of temperature
extremes of this and last week in Kan

Oats have made favorable growth in
the Southern states and are generally
improved in Missouri and Illinois.
The cotton states have experienced
a very favorable week. and cotton
planting has made rapid progress in
all sections, being practically finished
in Texas. Much of the early planted
throughout the cotton belt is up to
good stands and cultivation is well ad-

Mile. Rhea IN April Century.
Shall l ever forget it? 1t was on a
Sunday, about o'clock. We were re-
hearsing a new play. Some of us
were in the green room, when the
Emperor passed, escorted by his Co.'S
sacks. We were standing at the win
dow, and with a smile he gave us the
military salute we knew so well. He
had hardly turned the corner when we
heard an explosion. We looked at one
another, and the same thought cross
ed each mind-an attempt on the EN-
perors life We rushed out. and ar
rived at the corner of the street just
in time to see, 200 yards from US, the
explosion of the second bomb, which
proved to be the fatal one. The first
had killed two Cossacks. While they
were arresting the assassin the Gar
deaf to the entreaties of his coach
man. who wanted to drive on with all
speed, carne out of his carriage to say
a word of sympathy to his dying SOL
diers. He took their hands, and, ad-
dressing their murderer, he said:
Wretch see what you have done in
your blind fury" After a last look of
pity at his faithful servants, he was
about to re-enter his carriage when a
man, standing at the door, dropped
another bomb. which he had kept
concealed in his handkerchief, and
that one not only killed the Nihilist
himself, but MORALLY wounded the
Emperor. In a moment the street.
before deserted, was crowded with
people coming from every direction.
Sleighs were going to and fro. and all
we heard was: Thank God, the EN-
peror lives" His carriage being dam
aged, he was placed in a sleigh and
driven to the palace. where he expired
a few hours later. His legs had been
shattered.

Prominent Southerners Oppose the
Lowering Bill as Unsuited to This
Section.
Washington, April pa delegation
of prominent men from the South,
mainly from South Carolina and Geor-
gia, were before the House Committee
on Judiciary to-day in opposition to
the proposed constitutional amendment
of Representative Lowering of Massa-
chusetts giving Congress power to es-
tablish uniform hours of labor
throughout the United States. The
speakers argued that it would be mex
pedient with such vast territory and
varying conditions for Congress to fix
hours of work to be observed in all
localities. The conditions in the
South were so different from those in
the East it was stated, that hours
suitable for one locality would not be
suitable in the other. 1t was stated
also that industrial development had
just begun in the South, and that al
ready care was being taken to ameli-
crate the condition of labor, some of
the large mills establishing schools,
churches and libraries to improve the
general condition.
