ment in Rockies.
Winnipeg, Man., Jan 3.-Marconi
is preparing to install wireless trans
continental system through Canada.
Two of his experts have just passed
through here on their way west to ar
range for series of tests in the Rock
les.
1t is expected by the inventor that
the diverse electrical currents in the
rarefied atmosphere of the high alti-
tudes may interfere with the sending of
the messages, and it is to satisfy him
self that the tests will he made in the
winter when the conditions will be
more unfavorable. Winnipeg is to be
the halfway house of the system. 1t is
understood that the station will be To-
Gated at Stony mountain, an eminence
twelve miles from Winnipeg. 1t will
receive messages from Mountain Royal
at Montreal, and it is the work of these
experts to locate the next western STA

FLEE FROM, PLAGUE.
Disease at MazatIan, Mexico, De.
cIared to be of Asiatic
Variety.

Mazatlan, Mexico, Jan. 3.-There is
no longer the slightest doubt that the
disease now affecting this city is gen.
uine Asiatic plague, for microscopic in.
vestigation proves that bubonic pest
bacilli are in the blood of those afflict-
ed. The plague has grown virulent
within the past As hours, and the
alarm, which had in some measure be-
gun to abate, has returned with in
creased strength. The people are fee
ing from the city at the rate of 800 per
day, and some 5000 have already
gone.
1t is remarkable fact that more
than 80 per cent of the persons attacked
are women. The news of recrudescence
of the plague at this port has reached
the interior towns of the state and is
causing a panic. Cordons of armed
men have been placed around the towns
to prevent the entrance of any one from
this place.
Hermosillo, Mexico, Jan Sowing
to the scare caused by the epidemic at
Mazatlan strenuous measures are being
taken here TO improve the sanitary con-
iitions of the city. Streets are to be
kept scrupulously clean and the city
government has appointed an inspector
for each block.
