WIRELESS MESSAGE
Marconi Succeeds in Sending and Re-
ceivins Messages from Cape Cod and
EneIand-Roosevelt and King Ed
ward Exchange Greetings.

South Wellfieet, Mass, Jan. 20
Wireless communication between Mar
coni's Cape Cod station and England
has been established. and yesterday
messages were exchanged between
President Roosevelt and King Edward.
Very little difficulty was experienced.
and the return message of the king was
received in a comparatively short time
after the presidents was sent.
When everything was in readiness for
the test Marconi sent the following
message from President Roosevelt to
the king-the first from the new Cape
Cod station:
"His Majesty, Edward VII, London.
England: In taking advantage Of the
wonderful triumph of scientific re-
search and ingenuity which has been
achieved in perfecting system of
wireless telegraphy, extend, on be-
half of the American people, most cor
dial greetings and good wishes to you
and to all the people of the British en-
pire.
'IdEODORE ROOSEVIcLI. y
''Wellfleet, Mass, Jan. 10. 1903"
Message Is Transmitted.
Then the following was sent to Sec
retary Cortelyou at Washington by the
inventor:
Secretary to the President, Wash
ington, d. c.: Request you to have
kindness to inform the president that
his message to his majesty king of
England, has been duly transmitted by
wireless telegraph from my Cape Cod
station to Cornwall.
"MARcoNI."
The Kings Reply.
Later the, instruments at the station
showed that a message In reply from
the king was coming. and soon the fol-
lowing was registered:
"Sandringhan, Jan. 10, 1903-The
White House, Washington,
America: thank you most sincerely
for the kind message which have just
received from you thru Marconi's
trans Atlantic wireless telegraphy.
sincerely reciprocate, in the name of
the people of the British empire, the
cordial greetings and friendly senti-
ment expressed by you on behalf of the
American nation and I heartily wish
you and your country every possible
prosperity.
"EDWARD, r. and l."
Marconi is entirely satisfied with the
way his instruments worked yesterday.
and declared that everything went off
without a hitch.
Further tests will be made today.

mitted to reign as he did before. HIS
authority was recognized by the Phil
ippine commission and an allowance
OF $4,000 a year was made for his
support. Considerable opposition de-
syeloped to this arrangement, as 1T was
considered a legislation of polygamy by
the United States-the sultan, like
most oriental rulers, having super
fluity OF wives-but the conditions in
the islands were considered such that
no other course was believed pos

his subjects. He made less trouble
for the United States than any other
chief in the Philippines. despite the
fact that he was in rank the most I'M
portant OF all. He accepted the ine-
yitable with good grace and recog-
nized the authority of the Washington
government, only asking that he be
permitted to continue as before the
nominal head of the island, and that
the annuity paid him by Spain be
granted him.
The sultan, altho scarcely more than
q boy, commanded the respect OF all
who came In contact with him. Ad-
yised by his mother, he ruled wisely
and never forgot his dignity. He had
regular cabinet composed of subor-
sdinate chiefs called dattos, and lived
q life Of semi -barbaric splendor. When

always rode a pony, was preceded by

Not in castro's Pay.

Charleston, S. c., Jan. 2O.-United
States Minister Bowen, who will repre-
sent the government of Venezuela in
the settlements Of disputes with Great
Britain and Germany, arrived here
this morning aboard the dispatch
boat Dolphin from LaGuayra, and left
this afternoon for. Washington.
Minister Bowen said that the she'll
ing of Fort San Carlos by the German
cruiser Panther could have no effect
on the plans for arbitration. Concern
ing the newspaper report from Caracas
that he had been paid extraordinary
sums of money by President Castro
Mr.. Bowen declared that 1t was with
out foundation.
81 was treated with the utmost cour-
tesy," he said, "and before leaving
President Castro wanted to pay for
my services informed him that !
would accept nothing further than
was actually needed for expenses and
limited this to $4,000. The president
called and gave me $4,000 in gold l
took 1T with the understanding that
nothing more should be paid or Of
fered.
"Ordinarily this fact would not be
worthy of mentioning, but erroneous
reports have been sent out, as learned
today, and it is just as well for the
American people to know the facts
president Harrison was paid s15,-
900 by the Venezuelan government
and this was probably used as the
foundation for the story about my
self. certainly accepted no bills
from President Castro, and then had
trouble in turning them into gold as
has been stated"
Minister Bowen declined to make
public the nature of the report which
he will submit to the administration in
Washington today.

Philadelphia, Jan. 20.-The Delaware.
Lackawanna & Western Railroad Com
pany continued to call witnesses before
the coal strike commission today in op-
position to the demands OF striking
mine workers. John j. McAndrew.
hoisting engineers was the first witness
called. He said the engineers, firemen
and pumpmen of the Lackawanna dis
trict No. ! were unanimously opposed
to going on a strike. All the steam men
in this district, two-thirds OF whom
were members of the United Mine
Workers, held meeting, of which Nc
Andrew was chairman, and adopted q
resolution requesting Mitchell to re-
scind the order calling out the steam
men, because they had no grievances.
The committee saw Mitchell and he
said he could not recall the order. When
the strike order went into effect Sc per
cent OF the steam men of the district
remained at work.
Michael McHugh, engineer, who was
on the committee which called on Nit.
chell. corroborated McAndrews. Mich
olas said if the steam men did not
strike they would be ostracised and
their families annoyed. Mitchell told
the committee 1t was too late to recall
the strike order for the steam men.
The committee told him II they left
their work the company would surely
fill their places. Mitchell replied he
could not guarantee the men could get
back their places, and added no victory
was ever won without some loss. On
cross-examination the witness said the
steam men work twelve hours out of
twenty-four every other Sunday. These
men, he said, were satisfied with their
nOSitionS.

of some commercial Importance. There
are $50 square miles to the Sulu is
lands, and the sultan's subjects num-
Der about $4,000.
For three centuries the Spaniards
waged war on the Sulu sultans, but
it was not until 1877 that the sultan
acknowledged the protectorate of
Spain. Even then the other nations
of the world were slow to acknowledge
that the dominions of the sultan of
Sulu belonged to Spain. Finally, by
q protocol signed at Madrid on May q,
1856, the suzerainty of Spain over the
Sulu sultanate was acknowledged by
Great Britain and Germany. BY this
convention the claims of the sultan
to sovereignty over a part of Borneo
We're abrogated, but on the island of
Mindanao there are two native sultans
who still pay him tribute.
In the Sulu islands and on the island
of Mindanao the Spanish never held
much real power.
The court martial of Maj. Glenn was

horribly mutilated and sticks had been
thrust thru the nostrils.
Some former insurgents, who are
now enlisted men in the Philippine

against the American troops under
