Douglas & Doug las, and Conrad Symme appeared as att torneys for Machen, and the Lorenzes and Samuel Maddox for the Groffs. Assistant District Attorney Hugh T. Taggart. representing the prosecution, asked that, on account of the i'll health of District Attorney Beach, date after the first week in December be fixed for the trial of the cases. He explained that it had been the long and tiresome work performed by MT. Beach in pre- pairing the cases for trial which had made it imperative that he take rest MT Tagert also declared that there are now 50 persons accused in the postoffiee department, with five capital offenses, which require the attention of MT. Beach and consideration, therefore should be shown him by the court.
 Charles A. Douglas and Samuel Mad dox made pleas for early trials, the former offering a motion that Novem- Der Is be set as the date for the trial with the understanding that if MT. Beach is then unable to attend court continuance should be granted. Jus tice Pritchard announced that as compromise he would set the trials for November 23, and he urged the attorneys for both sides to be ready at that time
 In connection with fixing the time for the trials, Justice Pritchard asked Assistant District Attorney TaSgart whether he inten1ed to interpose any objections to the application of Maehen and the Groffs that they be permitted to examine certain records in the post office department in order to prepare for their defense, which application had been set for hearing on next Friday. Mir. Taggert said he considered the application absolutely indispensable, and attorneys for both sides an nounced their readiness to argue the question Friday.

WITHOUT WIRES.

Last week the London Times be-
gan to receive its New York news ly
wireless telegraph. The first mes
sage transmitted by this new service
comprised two hundred words and
was sent quickly and accurately.
The important feature Of this wiroless
transmission of news is it's small cost.
The expense of telegraphing across
the Atlantic by this system is much
less than the cable rates. This latest
Marconi achievement is a great tri-
umph for the Italian inventor and
demonstrates the entire practicability
of his system. In discussing it's ! ew
service, the Times says editorially:
They may rely upon it that con-
siderable interests are going to be
seriously affected by the new devel-
opments, and they would do we'll to
cultivate whatever scientific and eco
nomic lmaginations they may possess.
In the same way those who are
respon sible for national interests
ought to very carefully watch and
anticipate the bearing upon various
strategical problems of the agency
that more than ever before annihilates
space and time"

The present year promises to be a
record-breaker for new immigration.
eclipsing the year 1882 when almost
100000 new Corners landed on our
shores. After that year immigration
declined and reached its ebb in 1896.
Since then the tide has been rising
and last year was only 100000 below
1882. The number Of immigrants
that have arrived this year is phen-
omenal. March % saw 1859 arrivals
at New York, the greatest number
that ever landed in a single day.
Every month this year has shown a
gain over the corresponding month
of 1902. It is noticeable fact that
the European nations that formerly
furnished the bulk of our immigrants
are not contributing many this year.
Ireland, Germany, England and the
scandinavian nations have recently
supplied us with comparatively few
new citizens, whereas in former years
the great majority of our immigrants
came from their shores. Italy, Aus
tra-Hungary and Russia are now con-
tributing the larger part of the home-
seekers
