Chicago, July IA New York special
to the'SRecord- Herald says: There is q
good deal Of politics in New York these
days, and the democratic situation Is par
ticularly interesting. Mr.. Cleveland has
emerged from six years. seclusion at
Princeton, and, while he has not as
sumed the role Of Moses and will not at
tempt to lead his people to the promised
land, he is willing to point out trail
and give them some good advice to re-
fleet upon while they are on the way.
His speech at the Tilden club has had a
much greater local effect than any one
expected, notwithstanding the ferocious
attacks it has drawn from Mr.. Bryan,
Mr.. Watterson, Clark Howell and other
members OF his party. t.e -
Bryan a. ssMountebank", Says Grover.
hear curious story that may account
for the rampagiousness of Colonel Bryan.
A gentleman Of unquestioned veracity
declares that Mr.. Cleveland wrote a let
ter to q man in Mississippi in which he
referred to Colonel Bryan as=a a "mounte-
bank" and that Colonel Bryan has seen
the letter, or at least a copy Of 1t. That
much interest IN the Ttlden club speech.
Mr.. Cleveland has promised to make
another speech in the interest OF har
mony and the future happiness and sue
cess Of the democratic party" It is pro-
posed that he shall address his former
fellow citizens Of New York from the
platform Of Madison Square Garden on
his way from his fishing grounds on Buz-
zaI@ Bay to his winter home in the
cranberry state. That will be about the
middle Of September or the 1rst OF
October, after the democratic candidates
for state offices have been nominated
and the platform proclaimed. He has
even agreed to go to Buffalo and make 3
provided, Of course, the, candidates and
the platform meet with his approval.
T: Pilsrimages to Princeton.
There have been several pilgrimages to
Princeton lately by democratic leaders Of
New York, who agree that the ex-presi-
dent is taking "a greater interest in polit-
ical affairs than he has shown since he
left the White House. He is confident
that with the 16 to ! business eliminated
the democrats have fair chance OF car
rying New York and several other of the
northern states and securing majority
in. congress, but he believes that in or
der to do this the campaign must be con-
1884 and 1892, with the tariff and the
trusts as the principal issues. and has
expressed his willingness to support any
clean candidate who may be nominated
upon such platform. ss SSs5 II
This Is, Of course, gratifying to dis
interested democrats in New York and
elsewhere, because a blast from Mr.
Cleveland's bugle horn is worth many
thousands Of men. sG58

Washington, July 4.-The secretary of the

Efforts, are being made by members Of con-

homes, but it is generally conceded that tho
site selected will be on Lake Michigan or

- There is objection to Lake Superior as
being too far north and to Lake Erie as too
far south. The object Of the board will be to
establish station at q point centrally located

the state had been few in number but
every one had done frightful execution,

shots left, and Al Smith, fired them re-
morse1essly and with a grim and unerring
aim. Two of Chief Ames' officers rather
shamefacedly told Of their experiences in
trying to arrest big mitt men only to have

s The counsel for the defense claim they
will be able to introduce witnesses enough
to shake the testimony-in part, at least
of the prosecution. Very little credence
is given this claim by those acquainted
with the situation. It is believed that the
state will place its main reliance for
conviction on what it believes to be the
most damaging testimony yet entered
against the defendant-the testimony OF
.,'Link'' Crossman, a leading "big mitter'
that he paid the chief s25. The defense
will undertake to show that at the time
this transaction is said to have taken
place, Chief Anes was not at his office,
as Crossman has testified, but that he
was, in, fact, at home. -. ..s

made shows that Mayor Ames was at

cifc information as to the whereabouts OF

states attorneys are positive that the

The alarm Of fire Monday at noon
was caused by a defective stove fue
in the residence of MI. Jack Vinson,
at 724 Slocumb street. The response
of the fire department was much
quicker than usual. The alarm was
turned in from box 81 just at the
time when the horses were in the
reel houses for dinner. The distance
from the reel houses to the fire was
something near a mile. The flames
were extinguished before much dam
age had been done.
The drivers had a splendid oppor-
tunity to test the speed of the new
horses which were recently purch-
ased and placed in training. Both
reel horses showed up well and each
company is well pleased at their be-
havior.

Messages Transmitted Over Two
Hundred Miles.

Hundred Miles.
Norfolk, Va, April 26.-The wire
less biography tests at Roanoke Is
land to-day were the most important
since the experiments began four
days ago. It was a test of an Ameri-
can system of wireless biography.
This system has been perfected by
Professor Reginald 4. Fessen9en,
working under the direction of Pro
fessor Willis L. Moore, chief of the
Weather Bureau.
These experiments have been go
ing on for two years at intervals, but
not until to-day was it established
beyond a doubt that wireless mes
sages can be sent to vessels at sea for
a distance Of over two hundred miles.
Fairly good results, YER obtained
months ago, but Professor Fessenden
did not wish to have any of the tests
witnessed until it could be proved
beyond question that his system
could be relied upon to work under
any and all conditions of@weather.
The tests to-day were witnessed by
General A. w. Greedy and Captain
Russell, of the Signal Corps of the
army. Both of these officers were
| very enthusiastic over the results.
The tests were rapid than those
of yesterday, and much faster time
| was made. Lieutenants Beecher and
Hudgins, who were present as repre-
sentatives of Admiral Bradford, chief
of the Bureau of Equipment of the
navy.
The Government has testing sta
| tions at Weer Point, on the northeast
shoals ofRoanoke Island, and another
about seven miles west of Cape Hat
! teras. The two stations are fifty
three miles distant from each other.
TheeXperiments to-day established
without a doubt that wireless mes
sages can be sent to vessels at sea,
notifying them of storms for a dis
lance of two hundred miles. The
experiments will be conducted from
time to time until absolute perfection
is attained.
