General Smiths Case.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-It is announc.
ed at the war department that the case of
General j. II. Smith will not be acted on
finally before the end of next week at the
earliest. Judge Advocate General Davis
has completed his review of the proceed.
ings of the courtmartial and the papers
are now in the hands of Secretary Root,
who is so busy with other matters that he
has not yet had time to give the case the
attention it deservee. 1t has been
generally understood that General Smith
was acquitted by the court, but it trans
pired today that such was not the case,
the court, it is alleged, having found Cen
eral Smith guilty of violatiug the rules of
war and sentenced him to be reprimanded
by the reviewing authority, which in this
case is President Roosevelt. Inasmueh
as the case is considered strictly con-
fidental, until finally acted on by the
president, it is impossible to obtain any
official information regarding it.

BEYERIDGE REFUSES TO APOLOGIZE
The Attack Grew Out of Heated COntrO-
verSy Between The Two Senator'S
With Regard to the Com
potency of Judge
Penfleld.
Penfeld.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Hot words
passed between Mr. Baily, of Texas. and
Mr.. Beverldge, of Indiana, on the floor OF
the senate today, and after adjournment
were followed up by physical assault by
the Texas senator on the senator from
Indiana. Mr.. Bailey criticised the state
department for its handling of the case Of
an American citizen, DR.. Scott, and
refecling on the competency of Judge
Penfeld, solicitor of the department. Mr.,
Beveridge characterized the words of the
Texas senator as an "unwarranted attack"
This characterization, Mr.. Bailey regarded
as an insult and demanded that the In
diana senator withdraw the words. Mr.
Beveridge declined to withdraw them,
unless Mr.. Bailey first withdrew his Ian
guage in respect to Solicitor Penheld,
although he disclaimed any intention Of
insulting Mr.. Bailey,
The trouble grew out of resolution
offered by MIR. Bailey, calling for the
papers in Mexican mining case, in which
he maintained, DR., Scott had been un"
fairly treated, not only by the Mexican
courts, but also by the American am'
bassador, Mr.. Clayton, and the officials of
the state department. MIR. Bailey de-
clared Ambassador Clayton was either
incompetent or dishonest and his remarks
led to some tart rejoinders.

WIRELESS TELEPHONES.
Successful Test Of New System al
Roanoke Island.

NORFOLK, Va, June 2S.-Wireless tele.
phone communication is a fact. In.
struments invented by Prof. r. A. Fes.
sender have been installed in homes along
the coast near Cape Hatleras and Roanoke
Island and for a distance of fourteen miles
the ticks of the wireless telegraph in.
struments can be heard over the telephone.
Another strange feature in connection
with the experiment Is the ability TO hear
messages being sent over one line through
instruments connected with another line
at some distance from the wire on which
the message is being sent.
The experiments are being conducted
between Frisco and Buxton, N. c., and
instruments have been placed on the
houses of Mr.. ]. Davis, Of Buxton, with
a wire to Creeds Hill life saving station.
1t has no connection with the government
wire at that point, but messages over the
government wire can be heard over
the priv.te line. A. j. Fulcher, of Frisco,
has wire running from his home to the
same life saving station, but it also has
no connection with the government wire,
neither.Is it connected with the wire from
Mr.. Davis house. The extremties of the
two wires at the station Gre over twelve
feet apart.
Nevertheless, messages that are sent
oyer either Of them, or over the govern
ment wire, can BIZ easily heard over any of
the other two wires. Ticks from the
wireless telegraph instruments over four
teen miles away are also plainly audible.

young doctor brings to Sherlock Holmes
the ancient manuscript, to the final scene
where the great detectiYe is brought face

The United States Steel Corporation has

The Republican leaders are very conf

large percentage of denominations of the
present members of the House. Under
THE new apportionment the next House
will consist of 1856 instead of 357, as at
present. This is an increase OF twenty

nine the Democrats are likely to win ten

gsip of nine on the new membership. In
the present House the Republicans have
clear majority of forty.one, and If there

Audience.

LONDON, June 28.-Queen Alexandra re-
ceived Whitelaw Reid, the special am
bassador of the United States, and Mrs.
Reid, at Buckingham palace this after
neon in farewell audience. Her majesty
received MIR. and Mrs. Reid alone.
While the special ambassador does not
feel at liberty to make public what passed
at the audience, it is understood that the
queen received them with great cordiality
and emphasized the appreciation of the
sympathy and support of the United
States in the present crisis, which had
already been expressed to Mr.. Reid by
the prince of Wales and the foreign
secretary, the marquis of Lansdowne.
The queen showed evidence of relief
and, considering the great strain upon
her. looked remarkably well. The in
terview lasted some time and may well be
considered a great compliment to. both Mr.
aud Ilrs. Reid and the United States, as
the queen has received no one but her
own family since the king became ill.
The special embassy will now be Of
ficially closed, though Mr.. and Mrs. Reid
will not leave London before July l,

BONFIRES LIGHT ENGLISH SKIES.
Subjects of Sick King Rejoicing Over
His Improvement.

LONDON, June 30-The general feeling
of relief as a result of the favorable reports
of the condition of the King vented itself
tonight by the touching off of the 5000
bOnfres throughout the United Kingdom,
which were originally prepared to cele'
brate coronation night.
The signal to light the fires was given at
five minutes past O'Clock. A rocket was
sent up from the top of the gigantic wheel
in Earls' Court, and burst in cloud of
stars /, 900 feet overhead. In response to
this signal bonfres rose from Orkneys.
The celebrations were unfortunately some
what dampened by downfall of rain.
London was not officially Illuminated,
1t had been hoped that the Mansion
house, the Bank of England and MARI
borough house could join in the celebra-
ton, all their illuminating stands being
intact, but none of the official decorations
was lit up. The display in London in
this line was confined to the theatres,
hotels and business houses on the Strand,
Fleet street and other thoroughfares.
There was quite celebration at Spit
head today when the nearest approach to
a review of the great fleet there was seen
in the trip of several transports loaded
with volunteers and colonial troops and
number of distinguished persons, who in
apected the empires "arst line of de-
fense."
