ca o no scientific achievement Of re-
VI cent years has such general atten-
u ton been given as was induced by
the announcement that communication
had been established and messages sent
by wireless telegraphy between points
in England and Newfoundland. The dis
tance between the two points, st. Johns
and Cornwall, is 1900 miles, but signals
sent from Cornwall wrre repeatedly re-
ceived at st. Johns, 50 persons Interested
claim, and the initial step in what even
tually may prove to be the greatest tri-
umph of latter day science has thus been
taken. Guglielmo Marconi, who has per-
fected the system of telegraphing with
out wires over widely-separated dis
tances, is the one to whom the success of
the achievement is due. His idea is an
Cient, but the utilization of the generally
accepted principle has remained for the
Marconi laboratory to develop. The ap-
paratus for the most part appears simple
and the mechanism is known to every be-
ginner in electrical science. The vital

Regarded as an Evil in Austria.

As a result of a report submitted to
the Austrian council of agriculture, set
ting forth that suits cannot be brought
to recover losses in transactions for the
future delivery of grain, the council has
unanimously declared itself In favor of
prohibiting altogether transactions in
grain for future delivery. This lnfOr-
nation is conveyed in a communica-
ton to the State Department from
United States Consul Warner at Leip-
zig. Germany. Mr.. Warner states that
the council has petitiOned the govern
ment to use its influence to suppress
this practice altogether In Austro-Hun-
gary.

and slender, not to say fragile; the race
is delicate and refined, with LOOK Oh

woman" she has been called. The living
face, however, would kindle Win
strange luminousness in conversation
and the dark and steady eyes glow

WASHINGTON, January 31--Re-

King Edward in June next are annoy

No one in the White House will discuss
the subject, but it is known that while
the family have talked over such a
visit, no decision has been reached. 1t
is denied that Miss Roosevelt is anxious
10 attend the coronation, but that the
President is averSe to il. All talk about

London is as foolish as the report
that she therefore would wear robe

Diplomats in Washington are greatly
worried because the report is not de-
MED. According to their training they
cannot imagine that a rumor of this
sort should SO long go .uncontradicted.
one diplomat says: THE American
people may consider this matter sim
ply in the light of a girlish within which
should be gratihed. The British gov
eminent at this juncture would move

forts of the past year. The British

TOOK FLAG
At FL CANEY
COIOred Man Who
Captured 1t in
Town.

Lieutenant Butler, formerly private
in the Twenty-fifth United States in
fantry, the colored regiment command
ed by Colonel Andy" Burt, is aboard
the transport Thomas, en- route as
civilian passenger for Manila. Butler is
the man who captured the first Spanish
flag at the battle of Ell Caney, for
which gallant action he received COM
mission in the Forty-ninth infantry,
colored.
Butler has an honorable record as a
fighter in the United States army and
is quite a modest hero. AS private and
officer he exhibited the heroic traits
which won for him the appreciation of
his commanders, and his meritorious
services on the field of battle three
times got him deserved fame.
When the Twenty fifth regiment
started for Tampa to embark with the
army destined for Santiago, Butler was
a private soldier, one of a thousand
colored men. The Colonel was taken
from them when they reached Cuba,
he having been promoted to a Briga-
dier-General. The regiment, however,
was in General Burt's brigade, and
when the battle began the colored
fighters were near the front of the line.
When the famous charge up FL Caney
hill began many of the colored infant
rymen outran their white comrades,
but always in the direction of the
Spanish trenches. When at last the
soldiers had driven the Spanish back
Butler and several comrades were in
the line Of a heavy fire which came
from the blockhouse situated on the
very top OF the hill. Above it foated
the Spanish flag, and the sight of 1T
urged the brave band forward. The
men charged, several fell, but even
tually the few reached the entrance to
the blockhouse. The door was battered
down and again they were met by the
concentrated fire of the inmates. 1t
was a death struggle and when the
end Gains, no Spaniard lived to see his
flag hauled Gowi: It was Butler who
performed this act, after fighting his
way to the foot of the staff. When 1T
came down the army at the foot of the
hill and in the vicinity of the trenches
knew that the American troops had
won the day.
For his brave act Butler was COM
mended by his officers and the military
dispatches to Washington contained an
account of the deed. For such a serv-
ice Butler was rewarded with a COM
mission as lieutenant in the Forty
ninth infantry, one of the two new COL
ored regiments organized for service in
the Philippines. His regiment passed
through Honolulu in 1899. During the
time Butler was in the Philippines his
gallantry on the field of battle and in
the face of the enemy won him the dis !
tinction of being twice mentioned in
the dispatches to headquarters. Upon
his return to the United States Butler
again entered civil life. He waited in |
San Francisco for General Burt, de- |
claring that he would never again be |
separated from his old commander, and |
now accompanies Colonel Burt to the |
Philippines in civilian capacity
