rebate may and actually do exist, and asserts
that the evils so created are constantly oecom-
ing more serious. Such conditions arise when
small terminal railroads are owned or con-
troIIed by shippers whose profits from the high
rates allowed for the use of their property
amount TO a heavy discrimination against
evervhodv else These practices, already harm
ful NAV grow TO unmanageable dimensions
unless Congress interferes. and the commission
believes that an adequate remedy needs TO be
found et once Similarly. the operation OF pri-
yateIy owned freight cars, though certain gen
eral benefits may result secures extraordinary
advantages 10 individuals, and In some in
stances has created practical monopoly.
remedy for determinations of this character
would be furnished in the opinion Of the
commission. by investing 1t or some other
tribunal with power TO ascertain ana nA a rea-
sonahIe rate for a special equipment service,
through making the common carriers RESPONSE
BILE. If they are not now, and bringing the car
line companies furnishing such special equip
ment service within the jurisdiction of the act
amended as proposed.
In thus giving emphasis to the leading propo-
sitions OF the commissions report we do not
mean to imply that its Judgment is conclusive.
There is on the contrary, need of just such an
illumination of the subject as railroad man
ayers taking different sides. shippers and Off
GERS of the government are supplying II Is reau-
ilv demonstra bic that the average of railroad
freight rates in the United States is extraor-
dinarily low. but that fact does not prove that
they are universally equitable There is indis-
putable evidence that devices exist which prac'
ticalIy establish an oppressive discrimination.
The question is how to get rid of them With
out doing more harm than good; but we have
little doubt that at this stage of the debate the
public is inclined to run the risk of bestowing
larger powers upon the Interstate Commerce
Commission.

fence General Stoessel and his men have sure
" won the title of heroes. It also speaks much
for the logged resolution of the Japanese, and
sends into eternal limbo all the oldtime talk
about their 'dashing initiative but lack Of per-
sistence" There can henceforth be no question
as TO their staying qualities The whole siege
is already well assured of fame by the side Of
the sieges of Syracuse, Jerusalem. Saragossa
and Londonderry, and others in which manhood
has come as nearly as possible to n realization
of the proverbal impact of an irresistible force
upon an immovabe body No fortress is quite
impregnable no defenders are unconquerable,
no attack is irresistible, unless we go TO ex-
tremes capable of only metaphysical conception.
But there can be no question that Port Arthur
has indicated its name of Gibraltar of the
East" and that both assailants and defenders
have shown TO the world in almost matchless
measure what long enduring hearts could do"

WIRELESS TELEGPAPHY.

In a discussion Of the future uses OF wireless
teegraphy THE Electrical World and Engineer"
expresses the opinion that apparatus having
long range is of less consequence than an ade-
Quate number of stations on the coast with
which passing ships may exchange signals. That
periodical adds that this country Is already
measurably near to the possession of such facili-
ties. At present few vessels provided with
instruments capable Of sending more than one
hundred or one hundred and fifty miles. If it
should be thought wise 10 give the land stations
a slightly greater range the equipment of ships
would doubtless be modified cOrrespOndingly.
The contour of the coast is particularly favor
able TO vessels bound for New-YOrk from North
European ports the Gulf of Mexico. For
long distance 1t is possible to run nearly parallel
with the shore and not more than two hundred
miles away from it. Transatlantic steamships
destined TO British or German ports some
what less favored in this respect but are after
all. happily circumstanced. Again, at few points
does the route from the English Channel to the
Mediterranean and the Suez Canal lie more
than two hundred miles from land. Great bene-
fits would result, therefore, If no greater range
than this were covered with certainty. Just
now communication between ship and shore
serves three different purposes Arrivals are
reported several hours in advance, news is re-
ceved from the outside world and business and
social messages are transmitted to ana from
passengers. In these three fields of usefulness
a great development must come in time. even if
wireless telegraphy should never prove rival
to the submarine cable
A number of technical problems must be
solved before the best results are secured 1t
is known that Hertz waves travel better In
darkness than in daylight-just why, nobody can
say. A message from Poldhu will sometimes be
read at Naples with greater ease than another
from the same source at Genoa. No doubt other
Inconsistencies which for a time will remain
inexplicable will be observed. None of these
difficulties, however should seriously retard the
utilization of such knowledge is already
available Such obstacles are not insurmount-
able It is possible 10 get around them in one
way if not in another. The most economical
method of doing so may not be found at hrst'
but it would be absurd to say that the world
must wait for perfection before fresh inven-
ton is adopted Material civilization would
make no Roadway whatever We're it hampered
nv such policy
