this to say about our Candidate
. for senator:
w. F. Street, the Beltrami
county candidate for the SEN
ate, declares himself in favor
of the railroad merger on the
ground that these big mergers
are a step in the direction OF
government ownership Of rail
roads. John King, of the Red
Lake Falls Courier, in reply,
SAYS he can't understand why
Street should befooling around
with the republican party; that
the supporter of government
ownership will have a long
and tedious wait before the
business interests will see the
necessity of such a sweeping
reform. The Courier might
have added that it will be
long time before any consider
able proportion of the people
in this country take up with
government ownership.
Street will never have to 60 to
the free trade editor Of the Dis
patch for pointers on what con-
sstitutes republicanism. He was
"a republican before the Dispatch
editor became a democratic
writer on a quasi republican
newspaper, and proves his loyal
ty to his party by supporting
Van SAINT for governor after the
party has nominated him, al
though the governor was not his
choice.
Perhaps the Van SAINT hurrah-
ers have no such hurricane of
success ahead of them that they
can afford to "go after" other
good men in the party because
they do not happen to agree with
the governor in his railroad fight.

NEW YORK, March 1-SkeptIcs who
doubted the truth of Marconis recent
statement that he had succeeded in dis
patching messages between Newfound-
land and his Cornwall station We're to-
day furnished with proofs of a still more
marvellous achievement on the part of
the versatile Italian electrician, who ar
rived from Southampton on the PhiIa-
delphia. He announced, and his testi-
mony was corroborated by that of the
captain of the vessel that he had been
in communication with his Podhue sta,
tion for almost the entire distance
across the ocean Day after day on the
voyage the inventor sat at his post on
the steamer and kept up an uninterrupted
succession of messages with the home
station. For 2010 miles not the slightest
difficulty was experienced, but after that
the connection was not perfect. AS 1t
was, he succeeded in practically bridging
the ocean with his messag ages, and the
feat is regarded by experts as even more
wonderful than telegraphing a few iso-
lated words from the Newfoundland sta
ton to the British shore.
Sig. Marconi is enthusiastic over the
complete success which has attended his
last experiments, but in an interview
says that his plans for establishing a
regular service across the Atlantic are
too indefinite for him to be able to- say
anything about them: He has in mind
the starting of a system between the
United States and Cuba, but of this, also.
he was reticent.
In the past year the Marconi system
has made marvellous strides. Twelve
months ago even the inventor was I'M
able to convey messages more than
few miles, thirty or forty being consid-
cred a creditable achievement Today it
is admitted by even the most Fonserva-
tive that the possibilities of the system
are almost limitless, and it would not
surprise anyone to learn that a regular
transatlantic service was TO be put in
operation Immediately.
