Beats Marconi's.

A dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pa,
says a wireless telegraph system in
vented by Father Joseph Murgas Of
the Sacred Heart Church, this city
has been perfected, and Tuesday he
was notified by the patent Office in
Washington that the sixth and
seventh patents on his apparatus had
been granted. The systsm, Father
M1sgas believes, is greatly superior to
that Of Marconi in that it is more
simple and speedy. This is as far as
Father Murgas will say, except to add
that exhaustive experiments made
with it have all been satisfactory. If
Father Murgas makes money out Of
it, he will devote it to the church.
For seven years Father Murgas has
been working upon his invention,
having established his workshop in
the rear OF the rectory. he has also
established a station two miles away
from his home, and from these two
messages have been sent and received
in all the stages Of the inventors de-
velopment. Father Murgas took de-
grees in electrical science in Vienna
eighteen years ago, and has kept
abreast Of the delopments in electric
ity ever since.

THE PRICE OF COTTON
Is Now Fixed in the House Markets
of the Staple.

The department Of agriculture will
shortly issue a comprehensive report
on the consumption Of cotton COM
piled by J. L. Watkins, the cottoa ey-
pert ct the bureau Of Statistics 1t
traces cotton manufacture in this
country from its inception to the pres
ent time and reviewing the industry
in the past 20 years says that not
withstanding the great increase IL
the worlds consumption OF cotton the
oVershadoWing feature Of the period
is the phenomenal increase in con-
sumption in the cotton States. This
consumption in the south increased
l ,607, 900 bales OF 500 per cent, the
consumption In the north has in
creased 10000 bales or SO per cent.
and In the whole country 1883. 600
bales OF nearly l4S per cent.
This, the report says, is OF immense
significance to the countries conSum-
ing American cotton because every ad-
ditional 10, 900 bales consumed In this
country means shorter time for some
foreign mill, perhaps its shutting
down, assuming, Of course, that no
further expansion of the American
crop will take place. During the past
20 years the United States has in
creased its cotton crop nearly $780,
900 or about 96 per CENT; India's crop
has increased 10000 bales Of 400
pounds each or 73 per cent; Egypt's
crop has increased $40, 900 bales OF 500
pounds each or 70 per cent; Rtssia,
which used to draw 50 largely upon
this country for her raw cotton, is
now supplying her own mills with
100000 bales grown in her trans Cas-
plan provinces; Brazil has almost
ceased exporting cotton on account Of
the home demand for her crop; and
the continent Of Europe has increased
its consumption OF cotton 2,4e2, ,00c
bales, or about IS per cent.
The consumption Of cotton in East
India, the report points out, has in
creased 100000 bales or about 200
per cent. in the last 20 years, and her
mills now use about half Of the crop
produced there; Japan has erected
mills equipped with !, ,333, 900 spindles
and is consuming from 600, 900 to 700,-
0G0 bales Of cotton annually, nearly
25 per cent. OF which is American;
the worlds consumption of cotton has
increased nearly 100000 bales or
about 81 per cent. and the Unit:d
States, the largest producer, alsn has
become the largest consumer Of cot
ton; hence the price OF It's staple is
now regulated In the home market in
stead of Liverpool. Every year since

number Of mills and spindles In opera.

to seize Pericalis and Varley. At the

THIRTEEN PERSONS PERI Il.
BY Disaster to Coal Laden Vessels on
the St. Lawrence.


The worst marine disaster in the
history Of the ST. Lawrens river coal
trade occurred Friday off Cape North,
the..northernmost poin Of Cape Breton,
Nova Scotia, when the steamer Turret
Bay laden with coal and bound from
Sydney to Montreal, struck on the
rocks off St. Paul's island, and sank
in deep water 20 minutes later, caus-
ing loss Of 13 lives Only nine men
from a crew Of % were saved.
The dead:
J. W. Hayden, captain.
M. a. McCara, first officer.
G. F. Gray, second officer.

b. S. Matthews, second engineer.
George johnson, boatsWain, to-
gether with the steward, name uu-
known, cook, mess room boy, two fire.
men, a seaman and helper.
According to the government agent
at St. Pauls island the steamer struck
near southwest light about $50 Fri
day morning. a dense fog prevailed
at the time and the sea was running
mountain high. Almost Immediately
the Turret Bay backed of into deep
water bat sank within 20 minutes.
The crew attempted to cut the
boats clear but While thus engaged the
vessel plunged Gown, bow first, carry.

and clu=g to hcating pieces OF wreck.
age. Fourteen persons were taken off
thu wreckage by the life saving crew
that put out from the islaud, cut FIVE
OF them died before reaching the is
land.
The survivors say that they did not
know that they were in danger until
the vessel struck. The fog was SO
thick that the shore could not be seen
and hearing the fog horn at the light
house they mist ook it for the whistle
Of another steamer.
The disaster occurred 19 miles cf
Cape North. There is lighthouse On
the northwest point Of St. Paul's is

point, and steam fog whist,d Is sit

was this whistl, that the crew Of the

The Turret Bay was owned by VIM.

Tyne, and under time charter to the

RUSSIANS CLAIM a VICTORY.
They Say Japanese Advance Has
Been Sharply Checked.

a dispatch from St. Petersburg
says following on the heels Of the
news CT the disaster to the japanese
fleet the general staff Friday received
official advices Of the defeat Of the
japanese force which was marching
from Feng Wang Cheng for the pur-
pose Of executing flank movement
on Mukden. Since Gen. Kurcki sent
his column northward to gain the
road leading directly west Of Mukden,
Gen. Kuropatkin has kept it under
the closest surveillance, awaiting the
moment when it should be so distant
from the main japanese army as to
prevent it's early reinforcement.
Observing this plan the Russians
withdrew and the japanese, not find
ing a strong force Of the enemy before
them, continued to advace.
When the time for action came
Gen. Kuropatkin let Gen. Rennen.
kampf loose from leash. Gen. Rem
nenkampf had under his command
only few regiments, but they were
the flower OF the Cossack cavalry. On
May 18 be fell upon the enemy, whose
number has not yet been revealed,
with such yigor as to compel the
Japanese retirement II mile toward
the base, near enough, tiS presumed,
to have received reinforcement from
Gen. Kuroki, who Immediately must
have been relieved Of an awkward
predicament. The operation is de-
scribed by the general staff as just
such move as it was expected Gen.
Kuropatkin would make and for which
Gen. Rennenkampf was fitted and
chosen.
The casualties sustained by the op-
posing forces have not yet been an
nounced.
Apprehension OF Reonenkampf's
Cossacks lowering north, the authori-
ties say, may explain the cautious ac-
tion Of Gen. Kuroki in establishing a
strong base at Feng Wang Cheng and
hating the column which was march
ing on Hal Cheng. It may also be a
solution of the mystery OF New
Chwang, which at first was reported
to have been evacuated and which is
now said 20 be reoccupied by the Rus
SLAMS, for if Kuroki has definitely
stopped bis westward movement kuro-
patkin could safely continue to hold
it without danger Of the occupying
force being cut of.
The general staff took occasion Fri
day to deny the report Of battle
having been fought at Kai Chou in
which 200 Russians we're killed. AS
a matter of fact the Russians quietly
withdrew from Kai Chou, being un-
willing tc expose their force at that
point to the attack Of column march
ing from the east-that landed in
southern Liao Tung. The report that
Kuropatkin had sent 10, 0t0 men to
relieve Port Arthur is declared by the
general staff to be incredible.
That the Japanese will strain every
nerve to take Port Arthur in view Of
the disaster to their fleet is not Ques-
toned in naval circles, and in spite of
the danger of Russian mines Admiral
Togo is expected to cooperate in the
assault upon Port Arthur.
