WIRELESS PROGRESS.

The picking up of the Solace by the
wireless, 14O miles off shore. lends spe-
cial interest TO experiments on the At
lantic which go to show that there
ought to be no trouble. with improved
apparatus, about keeping in touch with
vessels from 1000 to 1000 miles distant
from this port. The following is takei.
from recent account of the crossing
Of the Cunarder Etruria, vessel which
did not miss wireless connections for a
day:
ION Wednesday at midnight the wire
less receiver gathered in a message
from Cape Cod. 1000 miles away. A few
hours before there came aboard, when
the ship was 2.O50 miles from Liverpool
a message from the Poldhu station, on
the English coast, telling that an Amer
lean submarine boat had remained sub
merged twelve hours with nine men
aboard. There was no time that the
liner was not in touch with either
America or England. and most of the
way she received messages from both
sides of the water.
MIR. Marconi was aboard, but he did
not attend personally to receiving mes
sages, which were taken by his cleo
tricians. Woodward and Bullock
"Lieuts. Yeates Brown and Loring of
the British Navy accompanied Mr.. Mar
conf to observe the working of the re-
ceiving apparatus. They said: The
tests have been supremacy successful
The operators never at any time had
any difficulty translating the messages.
Mr.. Marconi said he was entirely salts
fed with the results.
This was not an experiment, he
said, but a demonstration. / selected
from four receiving apparatuses the best
adapted for the work l call it the inn
proved Marconi receiver. You might
call IL also a magnetic detector. 1t
takes the place of the original coherer.
There was no effort made to do any
long distance sending. To install long
distance sender aboard ship at pres
ent would cost the company about S25,-
900 for each ship. The Lucania will be
the next Cunard boat to be equipped
with long distance receiving apparatus.
Later the line will have also the long
distance senders.'

EXCURSIONS. TO HONOLULU.

The local shriners did good thing
fraternity at large. A small delega-
ton was drawn down and 1t was soon
followed by a much larger one. Now
a third pilgrimage is about to leave
Cleveland and 1t is not improbable
that Hawaii may become the favorite
stamping ground of Shriners from
all over the United states.
1t is time that other organizations
undertook to draw mainland members
here: and in that respect the Adver-
tiser is not sure, If the Chamber of
Commerce and the Merchants Associa-
ton would help. but that the local
newspaper writers could induce the
California Press Association to make
its next annual excursion to Honolulu.
The resultant advertising, in all the
journals of the State, would be well
worth the trouble and expense In
Cured.
There are some three or four hum
dred men In the California Naval Re
serve and the Federal Government
takes them on an annual cruise. the
Reserves are young fellows of the same
type as those in the California militia,
well-to-do and respectable. 1t might
be. If the Governor interested himself
in the matter, that the next cruise
would be made to Honolulu.
The Elks are a travelling crowd and
might. with little effort, be brought
here in herds.
Large bodies OF Christian Endeavor-
ers, Epworth Lacquer etc, meet every
year at central points In California;
and twice within a few years, the
bodies have sent thousands of
delegates to a San Francisco conven-
ton. Is 1t unlikely that If proper
were made from here,
a shipload of such visitors could be
had for fortnights stay in these is
lands?
On all the railroads special rates are
had for large parties and we suppose
that the Oceanic line, which Is always
liberal in such matters. could be in
duced to make favorable terms.

NO COAL NEEDED.

1t is gather surprising, in all the ex-
pert talk about coaling difficulties for
the Russian Baltic fleet, that no one
has thought, until now, of fuel oil
Russia has an abundance of Caspian
oil and, as a Hongkong paper points
out, probably intends to use it instead
of coal which, as is recalled, she has
herself from getting at
neutral points by declaring it contra
band of war BY using oil. the Baltic
fleet could steam right along, taking
on supplies at sea through flexible
pipes connected at any reasonable dis
lance with oil tenders.
Russia has been busy for three
months putting the Baltic fleet in a
state of preparation. Early in the war
she purchased eighteen merchant
steamers from Denmark and others
from Germany, vessels that could east
ly be converted into oil-carriers. Late
ly she has sent squadron to sea for
an experimental cruise Is 1t unlikely
that these ships are out trying new OIL
burning apparatus? Considering how
practical the use of fuel oil has be-
come in the merchant marine, what is
there to interfere with its use In the
war marine?

WITHIN PORT ARTHUR.

While the story that there are TO-
600 sick and wounded in Port Arthur
is from Shanghai sources, there Is
nothing improbable about 1t. There
have been many bombardments of the
Liaotong fortress and in the land
fights. beginning near Dalny and PITT
ze-Wo and including the capture of
Nanshan Hill, Russian casualties were
many. The Navy also has its toll of
wounded. Sickness may be counted
on, in such a place as Port Arthur,
to work great mischief. For two
months now the garrison must have
gone without any adequate supply of
fresh provisions, the usual food of a
besieged town being grain products
and canned goods. The latter, as a
steady diet, soon produces bad physi-
cal effects, particularly in hot weather.
Fresh vegetables, except a very limit
ed store for the hospitals, must be
scarce and high in price in the fort
ress; and 1t is not likely that cattle
were ever on hand in large numbers,
Manchuria not being a beef-raisng
country. We can conceive of the Port
Arthur garrison living largely on flour,
rice, canned meat and dried fish, the
supplies constantly deteriorating in
quality as well as diminishing in
volume.
Anxiety is common source of sick
ness in a besieged town. The fear of
sudden death is over all; the way of
escape, save at the risk of slaughter,
Is closed. Those who saw the surren-
40 al, a., ne lot hat, ITni
after a siege and bombardment of but
three weeks, noted that the Chinese
soldiers looked pale, nervous and weak
as If they had not slept. Many
sought the hospitals. With them scar
city of food had not made much i'm
preston, but even their Oriental stole
ism was not proof against the terrors
of dropping shells, the stroke out of
the dark, the unlocked for angle of
tragedy. Russian soldiers are less cap
able than they of enduring such vicis-
STUDIES; they need stout food and plen-
ty of it and they have the white mans
imagination and dread of that sudden
death from which the church prays
to be delivered. But no people of any
race stand a siege well. 1t is the hard
est experience of the soldier save that
of being under fire without the chance
to return the shots.
That the situation at Port Arthur is
not reassuring to the Russians from
the point of view of a long defence. is
indicated by the desperate attempt of
Gen. Stakelberg to relieve the garrison.
Had Port Arthur felt able to stanu
pat it is not likely that 10000 men
would have attempted, at great cost
in blood split, to reach and assist its
defenders.

RUSSIAN NAVAL MOVEMENTS.

1t hardly follows that the situation
Is desperate at Port Arthur be cause
the Russian fleet is trying to get cut.
AS things are Port Arthur is threaten
ed from all sides and will be lombard
ed by Togo as well as by Oyamas siege
guns when the time approaches for the
grand assault. But if the Russian feet
relieving Port Arthur from the peril
of a sea bombardment and so far rails
ing the blockade as to permit the COM
paratively free entrance of vessels with
supplies. Even now junks creep in with
military stores; but If Togo departs,
Port Arthur will he visited by fleets
of them and by steamers as WELL
1t would probably suit the Russian
naval commander to exchange Port Ar
thur for Nladivostok owing, not only
to the reasons stated but to the trou-
BILE 1t would give Togo to watch TWO
wide harbor entrances in a sea given
to storms and fogs. Nladivostok is
not an easy port to blockade and 1t is
than Port Arthur that it is better
base from which to direct raids. For
three months yet Nladivostok will be
free from ice and in that time the
Baltic fleet will come If ii intends to
come at all, And that fleet could
reach Vladivostok much more easily
than 1t could Port Arthur.

The Star is authority for the statement
that Admiral Terry declined to do the
shooting on the plea that the regula
tons only permit him to burn guberna-
torial powder once a year and that he
had done so earlier in the game. Act
ing Governor Atkinson has the matter
in hand-which is quite magnanimous
of him, conSidering-and as a second
recourse. he summoned Colonel Jones
of the militia. But Jones pointed out
that Uncle Sam had taken off all his
regimental cannon and the only way
he could salute the Governor would be
to stand on the wharf in full uniform
and touch his hat-or talk through it.
A compromise will be made, 1t is said,
by having Berger's band meet on the
wharf and play the new Carter March.
This noble anthem is much more thrill
ing than gunpowder or even than seid-
litZ powder. Its refrain runs this way:
Carter is coming, alretty yet,
He is a bully boy you bet,
Just the fellow, full of sand,
To keep 'em from busting
Der Berger band.
In the absence of cannon we know
of nothing that will tend TO give the
Governor more of that home feeling
than a blast from the Kappelmeister's

Russia and Japan's War Issue.
The Vance Literary Society, COM
posed of pupils of the ninth and

held a highly delightful public meet
ing in the Woman's Club room last
Friday night,
The program consisted of an in
strumental solo, "The Fountain

Miss Pearl Brinson; a song by the
society, GA Hunting We Will Co."
Then followed a debate upon the
query, "Resolved, That Russia was
right in making war upon Japan"
The debaters for the affirmative
were, MI. Mack Wilson and Miss
Annie Denmark; for the negative
Mr.. Frank Creech and Miss Annie
Rhodes Switzerland. This was a
very c%reditable feature of the enter
tainment, the arguments being good
and the presentation excellent. The
decision committee, composed of
Prof. FoNst, Mr.. Brinson and Rev.
MI. Horsield, reported in favor Of
the negative.
Following this was an instrument
tai solo, "Old Black Joe," by Miss
Mary Best.
The meeting closed with a vocal
duet, "Go Pretty Rose" by Misses
Matte Russell and Pearl Brinson.
This meeting was greatly pleasing
to all present. Every feature of it
