 Willis has just returned from a long visit to the Blue mountains, and the tale he tells Is remarkable, to say the least. With him he brought sack full of big nuggets, which have been exam dned by half the assayers, who pro- pounce them pure gold running nearly R22 per ounce
 The aged prospector has interested two of the bankers of this section in his find, and party of workmen will proceed at once to the claims of Willis bn the hills.
 Willis has always been man of mys- tery. He appeared on the streets of Pendleton many years ago, but as to his history he always has been silent That there was a romance in his life he had admitted, but the nature of 1t he never would disclose
 He has been regarded as eccentric in many ways, and when he announced Cn his return the other day that he had

p 5 {. CLEVELAND, Aug. s.-The first prac- tical test overland of the De Forest wireless telegraph has been made, Sig nals were received from Buffalo, dis tanee of 18O miles direct, three-fourths of this distance being overland. The tests were conducted personally by E. Lee De Forest, who came here for that purpose. VI
 The experiments extended over a period of several hours, the communi- cations received consisting of cipher and the wireless code messages. No attempt was made at sending replies, the Sending apparatus not being as yet properly adjusted.
 It is claimed that the messages re- ceived were sent longer distance overland than has ever before been ac- conplished.

in tho larger sizes the chief thing re-

London, Oct. 1.-Mr. Chamberlain
contributes to the Daily Telegraph this
morning a letter which is intended to
serve as a preface to the republication
in book form of series Of articles
which has appeared in the Daily Tclc.
graph on the fiscal problem.
The letter, however, is practically a
complete exposition of his proposed
policy.
Mr.. Chamberlain says:
ut Is not well with British trade.
After a long period Of success thu
policy of unrestricted foreign imports
has now shown evident signs OF fail
ure. Our exports are stationary in
amount and declining in character. We
receive from our competitors a larger
proportion Of manufactured goods and
we send them larger proportion Of
raw materials than We used to. Our
supremacy in what have always been
considered our standard industries has
been wrested from us or Is seriously
menaced. One by one our markets,
once profitable and expanding, arc
closed to us by hostile tariffs. We
have lost all power of bargaining sue
cessfully for the removal or rejection
of these barriers to our trade. Our
colonies alone continue to increase
their purchases. and even here we
must abandon all hope of expansion
and we are threatened with the loss
OF our existing trade IL we are unable
to meet their requests for reciprocal
preference.
Not Fair Competition.
Our competition, which is already
so acute, is not fair competition. II
Is supported by bounties, fostercd by
the operations of trusts and strength
ened by the economical advantages
which our opponents enjoy in the mat
ter of cheaper labor and In the absence
of all those regulations which we have
assented to in the interest OF the
working classes and in order to raise
their standard Of living. The case for
inquiry iG overwhelming and these
articles suggested in the cause of re
form will ne overwhelming also. The
supporter Of our antiluated policy
resort naturally 10 well worn devices
which hav" always been at the ser
vice of every opponent Of reform.
1T Is not easy to characterize such
pcrvcrsions OF tho truth in parliamcn
tary language. They are founded on
garbled and incomplete extracts from
speeches, selected without regard Ia
their tenor, and they attribute motives
and intentions which exist only IN the
imagination of the free food contro.
versialist. The line of argument, con.
cisely stated seems to be as follows:

but only a transfer Of an existing tax
from one article OF food to another
from tea and sugar. for instance, to
corn 50 that the cost OF living TO tn"
consumer will not be increased in the
slightest degree.
Partly Paid by Foreigner.
TO sum up, any duty on food i'm
posed to secure preferential trade with
our colonies will he small one. It
may probably be- wholly paid and
will certainly be partly paid 10y the
foreigner. The additional cost, It
any, to the working classes will bC
fully met 10y an equivalent reduction
in other articles Or food equally nee.

III reform may he considered on its
merits without any fear that the cost
of living will be increased to tn" poor.
On the other hand. our TARIFF may he
revised so as to secure the following
advantage:
First, an increase Of trade with our
fellow subjects and best customers,
who not only take mach more per
head from Ms than foreigners, but take
il in the shape of manufactured prod
ucts whose production involves tho
employment Of the greatest amount Of
labor.

competitors and thereby securing Ci'h'

productions Of our labor In exchange
for the products Of their labor or that
they shall leave tn" British market

"Third in either case this change
and the increased trade with our col.
Onics will provide more employment
for our own people aud a greater de-
mand for our own labor
Fourth, il the demand for labor In.
Creascs, the wages OF labor must rise
also and full work at fair prices will
enable our manufacturers TO pay high
or wages without loss TO themselves.
