mental stage and there is nothing to be
said about it for publication. In the
last year. however, the advances have
been much more rapid ana marked. You
know one never tells the secrets of the
laboratory, and there is nothing may
add.
DR.. Jacques experiments, since his
discovery, have been largely in the d.
rection of apparatus and machinery,
bringing into use such metals as gold,
silver, aluminium. corEer, lead. tin'
nickel, magnesium. iron end platinum,
all of which, together with the nacsssl-
ty of reducing the common coal of the
mines into carbon of convenient form
for handling. has required an enormous
outlay Of money. Mr.. is1ckefeller's Of
fer. therefore, is decidedly opportune.
Dr. jacques has had many or all OF
his inventions patented and has no
doubt their proper Development will
wholly revolutionize the present meth-
cd of heating and prorelling all rail-
road trains and transatlantic liners; OF
heating and lighting our houses and
cooking our dinners.
So enthusiastic is he that there is
hardly any direction in which he does
mot point an advantage 20 be obtained
by cheap electricity. His expectations
range from changes in the steel and
iron industries to the preventing OF
dust and dirt at the kitchen fire and the
absence of smoke in the city streets
that is sure to follow the universal use
of electricity.

yesterday on Secretary Hay. Mr.. Eddy
told the secretary that tho I.loney raised
in this country to pay the ransom de-
manded for Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, Amer
lean missionary, and Nine. Tsilka, had
been used by the Macedonian revolu-
tionary committee to buy arms and am
munition for their adherents, and that
the military activity of the Turkish
government was the result OF knowl-
edge that this had been done.
Mr.. Eddy reported that all American
claims of pecuniary nature against
Turkey had been settled and that the
questions remaining to be adjusted
We're largely technical. involving main
ly the extension of more liberal treat
ment to American schools in the sui
tans possessions.
Mr.. Eddy thinks the failure of Min
lister Leishman in his efforts to adjust
the claims fully is largely due to the
fact that Mr.. Leishman is only a min
lister and not an ambassador, with the
right to an audience with the sultan.
Mr.. Eddy will go to his home in Chi
capo in a day or two

Communication from Spirit World
Relative to Money Matters.
New York. April 3.--Fas spiritualism
a new convert in DIR. I. K. Funk. the
venerable writer on subjects religious
and head OF the publishing house of
Funk & Wagnalls? While DR.. Funk
does not admit in so many words that
he believes in communication with the
spirit world, he does not deny that he
recently received message from the
Rev. Henry Ward Beechsr. He said he
IS making investigations and later may
be prepared to talk mere intelligently
on the subject. Less than a week ago
DR.. Funk attended a spiritualistic
meeting in which a woman acted as a
medium and went into a trance. Soon
she said DR.. Funk's cid friend, DR..
Beecher, wanted to speak to him.
"Why don't you return that coin you
borrowed OF me thirty years ago?" the
medium. inspired by DIR. Beecher's
spirit, said in DR.. Beecher's well-known
and jovial manner
What coin?" DR.. Funk asked as
tonished.
why, tile WIDOWS mite, sald tne
medium, speaking for DIR. Beecher.
You used 1t as model illustration
in one of your books"
II returned it to you years ago" said
DR. Funk.
Pardon me- but you are mistaken
the spirit insisted. IF you will look in
your safe in the compartment in the
lower right hand corner you will find
my old coin under some papers"
Dr. Funk went to his Office the next
morning and asked clerk to look un-
der a bundle of papers in a small safe
III his Office. The coin was not there,
so he called in an old clerk, who was
with him when the coin was borrowed.
The clerk said he was sure DR.. Funk
returned II. Then they went together
to a larger safe and inexactly the spot
described by the medium they found

row OVER STRIKE REPORT.
Operators and Miners Disagree on tn
Interpretation.

Scranton, Pa, April 3..-Trouble has
already been experienced as result
of the operators and miners not agree-
ing in their Interpretation of the striks
commissions award. The commission
adjudged that the men should be paid
ION the basis of nine-ho day with
out reduction of wages, and with g
pro rata increase for overtime. This
the operators say, does not decree q
nine-hour day, but simply that they
are to get the old ten hours wages fcr
nine hours work and overtime for each
hour worked more than nine.
The men themselves are divided as
to the right Interpretation. At Provt-
dence, Carbondale, Olyphant, Plymouth
and Wilkesbarre collieries of the Della
ware & Hudson company the men quit
work today at the end of nine hours
work. All the other collieries OF the
company worked ten hours.

BRIGHT OUTLOOK IN JoLo.
Strong Post to be Established in Cen.
tor Of Island.

Manila, April 3.-The situation In
Jolo is more promising. Datto Pagli-
man Hassan, the most powerful native
leader, visited Colonel Wallace recently
and disclaimed any desire to fight. He
accepted the colonel's explanation Of
American policy and promised 10 be
peaceful.
There has heen considerable inter-
tribal trouble, but no demonstrations
have occurred lately in Jolo against the
Americans. General Davis has planned
to locate strong military post in the
center Of Jolo island. 1t Is believed
this will insure peace.
The general as representative OF the
Philippine government, will go to Jolo
shortly and have conference with the
sultan. The government is desirous of
abrogating the Bates treaty with the
sultan, which has proved unworkable,
and which conflicts with the American
laws. The government also wishes to
establish government for the Moros
and formulate definite Moro policy.

by Lord lveaqh.

London, April 3.-The details of the
transportation scheme for Ireland
which Lord Iveagh and Alderman Pr
RE have evolved have not yet been di-

pIscouRAeING TO PEDDLERs.

Enforcement Of the New Law Drives
Them Out Of State.
Sioux Falls, S. D., April 3.-The
legitimate business men of the state
those who are bona fide residents and
taxpayers of South Dakota-are deeply
interested in the action of sheriff Gun
derson, of Clay county, in preventing
number of steel range peddlers who
were operating in that county from
carrying on their business unless they
paid the license law.
The steel range peddlers were trav-
cling through Clay county with eight
wagons when the sheriff overhauled
them and demanded that they pay the
required license, or cease peddling
within the limits of the county.
The manager declined to pay the IL
cense, which would have aggregated
$40O for the eight wagons, and stated
to the sheriff that he would communi-
cate with his company and advise that
the new peddlers' license law be at
tackled in the courts with the object
Of having it, if possible, declared un-
constitutional.
Those interested in having the new
law enacted by the legislature be-
lieved the steel range men would take
advantage of the opportunity to insti-
tute test case in the courts.
However, information received from
Clay county today is to the effect that
the steel range men have departed
from the county and are now thought
to be in Nebraska.
II this is the case and the steel range
men nave decided to abandon South
Dakota as field of operations it is
taken to mean that after consulting at
torneys they have no hope of having
the new law declared unconstitutional
by the courts If a test case was insti-
tuted, and accordingly is cause for
rejoicing on the part of every South
Dakota business man.

ELECTRICITY FROM COAL.
Rockefeller Offers to Help Expert in
Scientific World.

Boston, Mass. April 3.--John u.
Rockefeller Is a prospective hacker of
DR.. William w. Jacques, an electrical
expert of the American Bell Telephone
Company, whose claim that electricity
can be obtained directly from coal,
has for the last eight years deeply in
terested the scientific world.
It's commercial value has never been
realized by any capitalist until the sub
ject was brought to Mr.. Rockefellers
attention. He at once saw the im-
mense advantages of a process which
would do away with the present clumsy
and expensive system of steam engines
and dynamos.
There is in every pound Of coal suf-
ficient energy to equal the whole days
labor of a strong man. BY the present
methods of generating electricity, much
of this energy is lost in smoke, heat and
steam, while by the direct conversion
Of coal into electricity all this loss is
avoided.
Mr.. Rockefeller learned thr ua friend
of his and of DR.. jacques that the lat
ter was carrying on experiments with
much success, not, however, without
out lay Of many thousands of dollars.
The great financier expressed his re-
gret that the research along these lines
should be allowed to languish because
Of the absence of funds, and further
offered to supply the necessary cap
ital.
"Yes, that report is true" said DR..
Jacques yesterday. Mr.. Rockefeller
did not make the offer in spirit of
commercialism. but as substantial evi-
dence of his interest in scientific re-
search.
I'VE have never met. but this man
who told Mr.. Rockefeller of my expert
ments is as warm a friend of mine as
he is of Mr.. Rockefeller. ! can only tell
you that the offer was made,

Madison, Wis, April 3.-The special
train carrying President Roosevelt and
party arrived here at i o'clock this

met by party of state legislators and
city officials headed by Governor La
Toilette and Mayor Groves and escorted
TO the capitol. The University Regi-
ment band and Company II. state mi-
litia, acted as a mounted guard. At

sembly hall, where he addressed the
state legislature in joint session, and
about 700 invited guests. The president
made second address to the large
crowd not able to gain admission from
a stand erected in front of the capitol
entrance. Following this the president
held reception to state officials and
members of the legislature in the ex-
ecutive office.
The president in speech in front OF
the capitol said he was glad to come to
Wisconsin for the fact that the people
had put in practice to q peculiar de-
gree the principle of "all men up rather
than some down." Continuing, he said:
I'VE are passing tk,u period Of
great material prosperity. There will
he ups and downs in that prosperity,
but in the. long run the tide will go up
If we prove true to ourselves and the
belief of our forefathers. To win we
must be able to combine in a. proper
degree the spirit of individualism and
cooperation. Each man must work for
himself. II he can not support himself
he will be drag on all mankind, but
each man must work tc the common
good. There is no man that does not at
some time need helping hand and
shame on the brother who will not ex-
tend that supporting hard"
AS the president entered the assem-
bly, chamber he was greeted with en-
thusiastic cheering. Governor David
son introduced him. AS the president
arose TO speak he was greeted with
{. tumult of applause and the uniyer-
sity yell later followed causing him to
break into hearty laughter. He said
It was good idea for the students to
be brought into close touch with
government affairs. The universities
must do more than to turn out scholars.
They must turn out men and women.
He spoke fifteen minutes and was loud
ly cheered as he concluded his adj
