"And at present." rejoined Meredith,

Meredith had observed the change In
his companions mood. He had watched
him closely all day, looking for a re.

men rose. Meredith knew what was
happening there, and he began to be-
little excited. As he had said, there
were Eve people visible at Beaver, and
he wondered where they lived, as the
only building in sight was the station
and to satisfy his curiosity he walked
out to the vestibule. The Little station
stood in the woods, and brown Leaves
whirled along the platform. One of tue
five people was an old lady. and she er'

AS an instance Of the value of the
wireless system In facilitating military
or naval operations 1t may be stated
that the japanese bombaried Port Ar
thur with their warships seven miles
away from the point where the shells

the bombardment was much increased
by stationing two vessels several miles
on each side OF the warships, which
were able by the use OF wireless teleg

OF course 1t sometimes happens that

the Russians use the Popoff system,

system which is used in obtaining

the scale on which it has been applied

was installed while the Haimum was
en- route to Weihaiwei, on the Chinese

reporting have already been accom-

which very naturally would like to sup

out about the war, has undertaken to
interfere with the sending Of these
aerograms and has even threatened to
treat those sending them as spies, but
there is no likelihood of its being able

result that Davis total was cut down

more interesting is reported from

Senator Fairbanks Suits His Speech to
His Audience.

Big Timber, Mont, Sept. Ex-senator
Fairbanks discussed the wool tariff in
his speech of the day made at this point
this morning. A light rain was falling
and the air decidedly chilly. but despite
this fact the attendance was large. The
meeting appropriately was held in large
wool warehouse by the side of the rail-
road track, III which President Roosevelt
had also spoken. On the wool question
Senator Fair banks said:
1T is the policy of the Republican par
try throughout the United States. 1t has
sought to stimulate the establishment of
new industries by means of protection 1t
believes in encouraging sheep husbandry
and in stimulating the production of wool
en- goods in the United States
There is no good reason why the
American farmer should not be able to
produce the wool necessary to meet our
great and expanding domestic needs. We
should not turn over wool growing for our
uses to the farmers of Australia, the Cape
of Good Hope. the Argentine Republic or
elsewhere. We should not pursue policy
which destroys the American flock, but,
on the otehr hind. should, by the applica-
ton of the protective principle, encourage
is a radical difference between the par
ties upon this important subject. This diff
ference is not found only in the platforms
adopted by them, but in the legislation OF
congress.
During the last Democratic admins
tratlOn wool here was worth to cents
per pound. Now it is IL to 20 cents. We
stand face to face with the question as
to whether we shall overthrow the Re-
publican party under which the wool in
dustry has been put upon profitable
basis, or whether we shall return to
the Democratic policy which so great
