MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE.
British Foreign Secretary Surprises
Powers by Declaring q "Brit-
ish Monroe Doctrine"

The British foreign Office is con-
sidered the most conservative diplo-
matte machine in the world; hence,
when it gives utterance to any de-
cided opinion, it commands respect.
The warning recently given by the
Marquis of Lansdown, in formal
statement to the house of lords, has
therefore set the old world states
men to guessing. The warning. is
nothing more nor les than the enun-
citation of British Monroe doc
trine' and conveys the information
that any attempt on the part of any
power to establish a naval base or
fortified port on the shores of the
Persian gulf will be resisted to the
utmost strength of the British army
and navy.
Lord Lansdown. who issued this
challenge, is secretary of state for
foreign affairs in the British cabinet
and was secretary OF war during the
thick OF the Anglo-Boer war. He was
yiceroy in Canada from 1883 to 1888,
and is a representative Of the highest
nobility of England.

her honor, is handsome woman of 60,
who has lately laid aside one crown,
who should be the wearer by right of
dscent of another crown, and who but
for the Intervention of Russia would
have had another crown.
She is Queen Carolina of Saxony,
widow of the king whose death some
two years ago brought to the throne
his brother, chiefly distinguished as
the father-in-law of the lately exiled
Crown Princess Louise of Saxony. 1t
is probably an unhappy thing for Sax
ony that the charming Queen Carolina
or Garcia, as she is usually called
never had any children.
She is the last representative Of the
Swedish royal house of Wasa founded
by the great King Gustavus Adolphus,
and if the French Gen. BernadotteI had
not been thrust upon the Swedish
throne by Napoleon, the gracious
Garcia would doubtless be queen of
Sweden to-day. Furthermore her
grandmother, Stephania Beauharnais,
was the adopted daughter of Napoleon
/. and Princess Garcia was the bride
picked out for himself by Napoleon
III. when he became emperor of the
French. Russia, however, wouldn't
listen to the idea, and, without having
any choice in the affair herself, the
beautiful girl was hastily welded to
the crown prince of Saxony, who sue
ceeded to the throne in 1878.

A REAL BOY WONDER
Four-Year-Old Telegraph Operator
Out in Oklahoma.
Went to Work When He Was Two,
Says His Father-NOv He Has
Fun ON the Wires with
Other Operators.

There is a child at Watonga, Okla,
that makes the conventional prodigy
seem ordinary. Compared with this
boy wonder the precocious youngsters
who Whistle patriotic songs at three
and play dance music on the piano six
months later, are backward. In Wa
tonga no mother who has heard of
Glenn B. Peck says anything about her
own four-year-old who mayrecite four
prayers or the multiplication table
through the twos. Glenn is the up-to-
GATE child wonder, he is born teleg-
rapher. He has been a telegrapher
about two years, having taken up the
work when he was two years of age.
This is what Glenn's father, agent for
the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
railway at Watonga, says about the
young lightning jerker:
Glenn was four years old the Esd of
last January. 1 am an old telegrapher,
having worked at telegraphing for the
last IL years. Glenn's mother has
worked as telegrapher for the last
eight years, and is at present employed
Dy the ROCK Island company in the ca
pacity OF operator at this place, and
receives and sends all train orders and
transacts all of the business over the
wire from this station.
"Glenn began to learn telegraphy at
the age of two years. The first time we
noticed it was when central Office was
beating time at noon. He was play
ing in the Office and ran into another
room calling to his mother that Her
ington was giving time Always
after he was able to tell when time
was given and eagerly watched for it.
He kept right at it and frequently be
would call out some word he heard on
the wire, and all this time, understand,
he had not learned the Morse alpha bet.
We had never as yet taught him to
send nor had we the slightest idea
that he could do so, but one day he

the convention. After he had been on
the road for some time farmer drove
up behind him. 'Wanter git in an
rider he said to the young lawyer,
and Bailey accepted gladly.
"'Going to the convention" asked
Bailey, after awhile. Yep said the
farmer. Ever hear of a young lawyer
named Bailey round here?' asked
Bailey. Nope said the farmer. Good
speaker and bright fellow, l under
stand suggested Bailey. 'S'pose so,
said the farmer. Yes continued
Bailey, and he will be over there to-
day, and tell you what we'll do. Wen
call on him to make a speech. You see
all your friends, tell themabout Bailey,
and we'll call on him.
"The farmer said all right. No more
was said about the matter until there
was lapse in the convention during
the preliminary movements OF the
body. Suddenly the old farmer got
up and suggested that the convention
hear from Mr.. Bailey, "a risin' young
lawyer of these diggin's,' he said, an
a Teller who talks like putin out a
fire. Bailey! Bailey! Bailey!' more
than a dozen yells went up, and Bailey
came forth. Joe Bailey made one OF
the hottest speeches Of his life, and the
upshot of the whole thing was that the
'risin' young lawyer Of these diggin's'
got the nomination for congress, and
is now Senator Bailey, Of Texas"

headland that eliminates in Sugar
Loaf rock and is reached by we'll
built stage road. Here the mast was
erected and the Office built, the latter
being connected with a main Office on
Ocean avenue, Avalon. The instru-
ments used, notably the receiver, We're
designed by Mr.. Swenson, says the Sci
entific American.
The nearest mainland point is at San
Pedro, about 30 miles distant, and from
the time the office opened for business
to date, about {, 200 messages have been
sent without single error or mo-
ment's delay. The plat has been sub
iected to some severe tests. During
the last of March terrific storm of
wind and rain very nearly cut off boat
communication with the island; yet
the messages were sent across the
channel with directness and precision.
It is interesting to note that while
the London Times is experimenting
with 'marconigraphs," endeavoring to
test the accuracy Of the system, the
Pacific Wireless Telegraph company
has been for several weeks in business,
supplying Santa Catalina through a
daily paper, the Wireless, with all its
news. The Wireless is small news
paper containing the condensed news
of the day-a perfect busy mans pa
per. The Avalon Wireless publishes
every morning the news of Santa Cata-
lima, the latest catches of great game
fishes on the Isle Of Summer, as well
as the telegraphic news of the world

night, ytE5Y7l

NEWS PER WIRELESS
Unique journalistic Enterprise on
Santa Catalina Island.
System Has Worked Well In Most Adj
verse Circumstances and Is Ca
pable of Almost Unlimited
ExpansfOn.

The island of Santa Catalina is o
part of Los Angeles county, southern
California, lying about 20 miles off
shore, parallel with the mainland.
The principal settlement or town is
at Avalon, on the southeast, where one
of the quaintest hamlets of the coast
has grown up, having summer pop
ulation Of 5000 or more and a rapidly
growing one in winter. The locality
has much to recommend it-an almost
perfect climate the year around, and
sports anu pastimes which have given
it worldwide reputation.
There has been one drawback to
Santa Catalina, and that was the lack
of telegraphic communication. In
summer there are from two to three
boats daily; but in winter only one,
the steamer arriving at noon. For "a
hours the island was virtually without
communication with the mainland. 10
remedy this, the Banning company,
who own the island, established a pi-
geon route. Large focks of these birds
were trained, and kilograms or i'm
portant news were sent in this man
ner with success, the birds taking a
message from Avalon to Los Angeles,
a distance of IS miles, in about an hour.
The pigeon houses were so arranged
that when a bird arrived with mes
sage it rang an electric alarm in the
receivers home or office, thus calling
him up.
But there was an element of uncer-
tainty in this. Sportsmen who did not
know that the birds were tame shot
them en- route. Others died of over
exertion. In the main the service was
satisfactory, but SO many prominent
men visited The island that the need
of adequate means Of communication
became more and more urgent. Final
" Gen. A. L. New, vice president of the
Pacific Wireless Telegraph company,
suggested the installment of a wireless
Geographic plant. A point was selected

views have grown out of his belief
that all the people are essentially
equal and entitled to equal consider
alton. This is at the bottom of his
advocacy of the public ownership OF
monopolies. which, says the Outlook,
has marked his administration from

ZOE BA1LEY's START.
How the Senior United States Senator
from Texas Got His First Con-
xressiOnal Nomination.

The 100000 fee said to have been
earned in Wall street by Senator
Bailey, of Texas, gives point to a story
told by man from Texas upon the
manner in which Bailey got his start.
Bailey" said the Texas man, was a
struggling young lawyer in the new
section into which he had moved.
Time had rolled around to nominate
a democratic. candidate for congress.
The day of the convention had been
set. It was conceded that certain
old man in congress would be given
the nomination again.
Having much leisure and but little
money, he thought he would walk to
