the assassination OF william ooebel.
The diplomatic appropriation bill was

OF Kentucky. fired both sides Of the
house by declaring that the Rough

message to congress favoring interna-
tionai extradltion treaties. when one
state could not get from another a fug-

TRIP FOR HORSE THIEVES
Long Islanders Organise to Save
Their Horses.

Horsemen of Nassau County and adjoining
Long Island towns are taking steps to protect
their animals against the epidemic of horse
stealing that has prevailed all around this city.
They have organized The Peoples Protective
Association" with headquarters at Hampstead.
They hope eventually to include all Long Island
in this organization. The methods employed
will include registration of horses a special
patrol, with system of alarm signals, and the
offering of liberal rewards for the apprehension
OF marauders.
At a meeting of the association at Hampstead
last Saturday night a set Of protective meas
ures was adopted. Scouts employed by the as
ISOLATION will be stationed at intervals frequent
enough to insure prompt assistance at any point
in the territory. For members who have not tele-
phonic connections with these scouts, alarm
to be sounded with a shotgun has been arranged
for All members required TO place lights
in front Of their barns, and scout passing an
unltghted lamp viii take it as sign that there
may be trouble within. The alarm signals are of
q bosterous character, calculated to arouse the
entire neighborhood and start a hue and cry at
once
To warn malicious persons, signs posted
throughout the territory with this inscription:
do Not Trespass on These Lands. P. P A.
N. c. This Means Me" reward Of 500 is
offered for the capture of horse thief, and less
er rewards for information leading to the ar
rest Of any committing depredations on the
property OF association member. Tramps
will be promptly locked up when found. De
scriptions OF all horses of members must be filed
at headquarters. On one hoof of each horse
so registered shall be branded "P. P. a"
Some of the principal towns that have suffered
from the raids OF the horse thieves and are in
cluded in the territory Of the association are
Hampstead. West Hampstead. Lynbrook and
Valley Stream. Oyster Bay is not included, as
II is believed to be already sufficiently protected
Members of the association believe they will be
able eventually 10 drive horse thieves from the
island.

WIRELESS FOR THE NAVY
4 PROBATION FOR VAR.
Contract for Use of the De Forest
System Signed.

washington. June 2S.-Admiral Manney. chief
OF the Naval Equipment Bureau, to-day entered
into agreement with Abraham White president
of the American De Forest Wireless Telegraph
Company. for the acquisition by the navy of
five Of the longest wireless telegraph circuits In
the world I'D to this date, two of them being
more than one thousand miles in length
The navy has felt keenly the necessity of a
wireless connection between its naval bases at
Guantanamo, Culebra and Key West, realizing
that in the event OF hostility with a foreign
power the existing cable system would be the
first point OF attack. The necessity of protect
ing the canal zone has enlarged the problem of
finding a secondary means for communication
and the general board has learned a lesson from
the isolation Of Port Arthur In the present war
Therefore, some time ago. the equipment bureau
began series of competitive tests under the
Immediate direction of Lieutenant Commander
Jayne. and the result was the ARRANGEMENT to-
day between Admiral Manney and Mr. White to
sign a contract for the supply to the govern
Tnent Of wireless instruments guaranteed to
maintain trustworthy service on these circuits:
Key West to Panama. 1000 miles; Porto Rico
20 Key West. 1000 miles: South Cuban coast
70 Panama. go miles: Pensacola to Key West
$50 miles; South Cuba to Porto Rico, 600 miles
The service proposed is exceptional. in that
the wireless currents must traverse not only
the ocean, but leap over islands, such as Cuba
Rnd Hayu, and in the latter case, and perhaps
IN others, run a risk of crossing currents set
up by apparatus on islands not a part Of the
United States The contracting company as
sumes fun responsibility for the working of
the system in such cases.
On its part the government agrees to operate
in harmony with such stations and vessels as
now the De Forest system, and this is said
10 extend to Panama. The governments in
Etruments will be attuned to harmonic with
those Of the company to prevent interference
two may work INTERCHANGEABLE without the pos
sbility of their messages being picked up, or
stolen. suppressed by vessels stations
equipped with other kinds of apparatus. The
enormous value Of wireless telegraphy in naval
operations. as revealed by Admiral Togo's last
exploit off Port Arthur. FASTENED the action or

VANDAL CUTS AIRSHIP.
Establishments Gas Bag SLaShed
at st. Louis.

St Louis. June 2S-Some time last night the
gas bag of Santos Dumont'e airship was cut
and slashed in such manner to preclude all
possibility Of its being repaired in time to allow
an ascension on July /. The work ap
pareutly done with .acknife. There are at
least twenty long rips in the bag. and Professor
Carl Meyers, who has charge of the aeronautio
contests, declared to-day that it will take at
least two weeks to repair the damage.
The big gas bag had not yet been taken from
the crate in which it came from Paris The
cover had been removed by q customs inspector,
and the crate was rolled into the centre Of the
big shed prepared for the airship. Being Of an
adhesive material the bag was hung in folds
from Stats nailed near the top of the crate, and
in this way prevented from becoming
solid mass because OF its own weight. There
were several folds OF the bag over each Stat. and
the vandal drew his knife across these. cutting
through from two TO four thicknesses of the
material with each slash. The work was evil
IDENTIFY done in haste, there were about
dozen Stats covered with folds of the Bag and
only four or five of them were cut. When the
damage was discovered messenger was sent
to Santos-Dumont at the Hamilton Hotel and
he hurried to the scene
We'll" he said after d critical examination
Of the damaged bag. 1T is just l told the
fair people This place is not secure enough
What will you DOR was asked
Il do not know" the reply. IT must first
see just how much damage has been done. II
will be impossible to get new bag, and if an
ascension is made this must be repaired. l
can think of no reason why any should want
10 destroy my airship."
Professor meyer made careful examination
Of the cuts ana said:
Il can repair the damage, but it will probably
take two weeks and possibly longer. l cannot
tell definitely until the bag is taken from the
crate and spread out To the cutting seems
TO have been done with dull jackknife. | be-
lieve the cutting was done with no other object
than malicious destruction OF property
Secretary Walter 3. Stevens of the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition Company said that as soon
as the fair officials could consult measures
would be taken for experimenting the vandal and
for the protection of the airship. When the
damage was done the shed that sheltered the
gas bag patrolled by a Jefferson Guard
and special Waterman who was one of Santos
Dumonts employees. Neither saw anything of
the vandal, and the damage was not discoy-
cred until the worknlen were about to take the
bag from the box
