WIRELESS PHONE
 BRIDGES A RIVER.
Successful Experiments at Hartford, Conn.

 Conn.
 Hartford Cconn.) Special to New York
 By means of his wireless telephone A. Frederick Collins today successfully transmitted speech between this city and East Hartford, with the Connecticut River intervening.
 Previous experiments by the inventor have been made from one Hudson River ferryboat to another and they have been fairly successful. The instruments which were employed today were used in trans hitting messages in experiments made at Rockland Lake, where articulate speech was communicated for the distance of a mile.
 The wireless telephone partakes of the nature both of the wireless telegraph and the ordinary telephone, although there are several differences in detail. The prin- ciple rests on a compromising of the low frequency alternations of the telephone and the highest frequency oscillations of the wireless telegraph.
 The distance over which the wireless telephone will work at present is limited, but the inventor is confident that in time this difficulty will be overcome. The ap- paratus operates in open air, but not to any appreciable distance. The most suc- cessful experiments have been made with water This new system Is said to be harbor craft, as by means of its messages may be readily sent from one to the other.
 As the energy from the wireless tele- phone is radiated in every direction this feature is not objectionable, as in the harbor the various vessels should be aware of the presence of each other. It Is the contention of the inventor that there has been no real improvement in the means of signalling craft since the in- troduction of the steam whistle.

 Stock market liquidation at the expense of industrials affected sentiment and 1g- nores, but does not conceal improvement in the corn and cotton crops. a change
 for the better industrial conditions at New l York and other disturbed centers and
 continued cheerful feeling in Western and Southwestern trade circles. The markets
 for the cereals also reflect selling. but here the moving feature Is the good crop advices at home and abroad and the pres | sure of the excellent quality or the new wheat arrivals The iron and steel mar kets and those for other metals feel the reflex action of depression in securities and buying is closely restricted even with dropping values, while the bulls in cot ton have given nearby months and spot cotton another twist on which record prices have been established. thus render ing the position of manufacturers still more unsatisfactory. Strike troubles are reported the cause of dullness in Eastern lumber markets and the embarrassment of some large building concerns The shoe trade East and West seems to be in an exceptionally good position. Railway earn ings are exceptionally good, showing a gain of 15 per cent. for the first half of July. Trade reports are in harmony with crop advices.
 The partial end of the building strike at New York leads to hopes of better bus mess while the strike at Philadelphia Is weakenings. Savings bank balances at New York are reported to have decreased by necessities of striking mechanics. Symptoms of improvement in textile de- mand are reported at New York. Wool is firmer at the East. Eastern shoe ship ments are 24 per cent. larger than this week a year ago. and IS per cent. for the season. Anthracite coal Is active and ship ments are large.

1 ntructIon of the Chinese Eastern Railway lhh4 Tad much the same effect upon Man fchdrM as the building of the Northern Pacific had on the Dakotas, Montana, Ore gon and Washington. While, of course. Manchuria has suffered in some portions from lawlessness, which has driven the population away or into the towns, the average appearance of the country. compared to what it was a few years ago, gives the impression to the visitor that the number of farmers and
 settlers Is growing apace.
 "It is interesting to note that the inhab- itants of Manchurit and Northern China seem not only. to have taken special liking to American cotton goods, but to
 have manifested a greater willingness to employ modern methods of life than the people of other portions of China. The rapid increase of the sales of cotton drills made largely by Southern mills is proof of the popularity of these exports, and further evidence that the market for them in the future will be much greater than 1t is now. When first visited New Chwang, some ten years ago, if remem- Der correctly, the import of American goods amounted approximately to only 15 per cent of the total, as shown by the records of the Imperial Customs. Wien
 I went there in 1898, only five years later,
 American imports had grown to nearly 60 per cent of the total. l regret that have
 not at hand the exact statistics of pres
 ent American trade win Manchuria, but
 the last report by United States Consul
 Miller at New Chwang gives details which
 the Manchurian manufacturers and ex-
 porters should carefully study. He says
 that the present value of cotton goods
 coming through that port is 2,1so. oo0 He
 brings out one salient point which must
 not be forgotten, and that is, that the
 Russian cotton manufacturers of Central
 and Southern Russia have their eyes on
 this wonderful market, and are going to make every effort to capture 1t, assisted
 by lowerates on the Trans-Sibirian Rail- way and on the subsidized Russian com
 rnercial steamers plying regularly between the Black Sea and the Gulf of Pechili It is doubtful if the Trans-Slberian Rail-
 way. with its long overland haul can
 ever give permanent rates that will com pete with all-water transportation from
 New York, New Orleans or San Francisco,
 but there is danger in the subsidized com-
 petition. It will be a long time before
 the mills of Russia can make goods that
 will equal the American product in both
 quality and price. but a low freight rate
 is always @ powerful leverage. In the
 meantime, however, before the cotton
 goods of Russia can be a great factor in
 the market, the American article should
 go on increasing its field of demand and
 its popularity, until 1t obtains a hold
 which cannot be taken away even by less
 cost of transportation. What have just
 stated in. regard to Russian manufac-
 turers and rates of Russian railroads and

A" SERVANTS GUIDE"
New Plan for Solving the Domestic
Service Problem.

New York, Oct. e.-Several women Of
wealth and social prominence here have
started a movement for a Servant
Guide intended to benefit both the
sorely tried housekeeper and unappre-
ciative maid. The head of the house.
hold will get for a moderate fee girls
whose references have been investigated
and who must behave or be barred for
ever from the privileges intended fer
them, including a comfortable club
room and lectures and instruction on
practical lines.
Both mistresses and maids must SUBJ
scribe to certain rules and regulations,
presumably for their joint benefit. The
girls must be guaranteed their regular
days and evenings off and they must
pledge, among other things, to remain
at least one month where they are sent,
unless they should be discharged For
those who remain for one year in the
places obtained for them by the guild,
there will be various prizes which will
be increased on succeeding anniver-
SaFieS.
The title of the new organization is
the Women's Domestic Guild. The first
work being done is in the registry de-
partment, getting names and investi-
eating the references. Soon as possible
a training school for servants will be
established, under the management of
experienced housekeepers, with Compel
ent chefs in the culinary department.
There also will be a dressmakers'
branch.

Chicago Musicians Endeavor to
Secure Reinstatement.

Chicago. Oct. 9.-oficia1s of the Chicago
Federation of Musicians declare that the
services of the Marine band of Washing
ton D. c., at the Chicago centennial cell
ebration and the consequent boycott by
union musicians, resulting in the discharge
OF members of the various bands of the
Illinois National Guard, were secured
through a misinterpretation. The fedora
ton officials declare the course of the two
colonies of the national guard in recon-
mending the discharge of the regimental
band members is unjust, the centennial
arrangements committee instead of the
musicians deserving censure. The feder-
alton officials assert that when they found
the Marine band was TO play at the Au-
ditorium meeting they wrote Secretary
Moody of the navy department and asked
why the government permitted the band
to leave Washington In reply the secre-
tary stated that the centennial committee
notified him that the members of the Ma
rine band were TO be the guests of the
city of Chicago and were not to receive
compensation and that had he known the
Marine band was to compete with civilian
musicians he would not have allowed the
band to go west. This reply from Secre-
tary Moody, the federation officials as
sert, will bring about the reinstatement OF
the discharged members of the regimental
bands.

made an admirable choice in the person
OF f. D. COburn as the chief of the de-
partment of live stock for the exposi-
ton of 1904. In view of the fact so we'll
known that Mr.. Coburn was in no man
ner candidate or applicant for the APP
pointment, the honor thus conferred up
on the live stock industry is the. more
highly appreciated. The unanimous and
very cordial Endorsement given the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Coburn by all inter-
ested in the live stock show at St Louis
next year makes it unnecessary to more
than refer to our pleasure in his selec-
ton and to assure the live stock chief
of our hearty cooperation in all that
pertains to the success of the show of
stock to be held under the auspices of
the Louisiana Purchase exposition.
THE gentleman so well equipped for
the creditable discharge of the duties as
chief of live stock has been provided by
the management with a $3.50, 900 prize
fund, which from the first to the last
of the discussion with the board of di-
rectors was the least amount Mr.. Co
burn was willing to consider a basis for
a prize fund.-
