FOR WIRELESS CIRCUITS
The Government Has Contracted
With Telegraph Company.

The Government Has Contracted
With telegraph Company.
Washington, June 2S.-Admiral Man
ney, chief of the naval equipment bu-
reau, to-day entered into agreement
with Abraham White, president of the
American DeForrest Wireless Tele-
graph Company for the acquisition by
the navy of five of the longest wireless
telegraph circuits in the world up to
this date, two of them being 1000 miles
in length.
The contract provides for the supply
to the government of wireless instru-
ments guaranteed to maintain reliable
service on these circuits: Key West to
Panama, 1000 miles Porto Rico to Key
West, 1000 miles; South Cuban coast
to Panama, 720 miles; PENSACOLA to
Key West 450 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 considerable islands, such as Gu
ba and Hayti, 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 full responsibility for the work
ing of the system in such cases.
On its part the government agrees to
operate in harmony with such stations
and vessels as now use the DeForrest
system, and this is said to extend to
Panama,

Transatlantic Steamship Line left this
port June % for Reval Russia. via Sag

of which was recorded at the Custom
House as being for ships USE
The destination of this vessel, the
fact that she sailed less than an hour
after obtaining her clearance papers

SICK cow GAVE THE TIP.

Of the mining and manufacturing town
of Brinton, Va, and the establishing
portant industry.
1t all happened in this way: Seven
teen miles from Christiansburg, Va,
in a wild, and rugged section of the
country in the foothills of the Blue
Ridge Mountains, lived a farmer who
kept number of cows. These cows
were turned out to pasture in a new
ly cleared field, and ere long one was
taken sick. Soon after being removed
to another field she recovered, but it
was noticed that whenever she was
placed in that particular field she be-
came sick again. Observation con-
WINGED the farmer that the cause of
the cows disposition lay in the waters
of cool and sparkling spring that
dubbed up from the rocks, and that
appeared to be the very symbol of
crystal purity. Finally the COW died
and the owner concluded that an in
vestigation was in order. Taking a
sample bottle of the water, he had it
annalyzed and was informed by the
chemist that it contained arsenic in
such quantities that too liberal pota-
ton might easily cause death to either
man or beast.

From this investigation in after
years were destined to spring results
well worthy of record, the establish

kind not merely in the United States,
but on the Western hemisphere.
This is the mining of arsenic ores
and the manufacture of the white ar
senic, or arsenious oxide, of commerce,
for the supply of which the nation had
heretofore depended upon foreign mar
kets. This has not been owing to any
niggardliness on the part Of nature
but apparently to the failure of
those who explore her hidden treasure
to appreciate their opportunities. De-

ACCOUNT OF FIGHTS is
GIVEN BY KUR0PATKIN,

st. Petersburg, June 2S.-The EN-
peror has received the following dis
patch from Gen. Kuropatkin, dated
Lao Yang, June 81:
1.-THE Japanese attacked our forces
occupying Mo Tien, Fen Shut and Ia
passes, June 26. Our infantry and
cavalry retreated, persuaded that the
advancing divisions of the Japanese
army which were operating against
each of the three passes were stronger
than our detachments.
In the attack on Ia pass the jap
anese Guards, besides other regiments
participated. The Japanese made a
frontal and flank attack in consider
able force on both sides of this posi-
ton. The Japanese troops occupied Fen
Shut and Molten passes during the
morning of June 81.
Our forces which retreated from
Fen Shut pass were attacked by small
detachments of Japanese. They were,
however, easily repulsed.
After pushing back our advance
guard during the evening of June &c
from Vandiapudze Con the Stu YEN
Hal Cheng road to Ia pass, the jap
anese continued their advance move
ment against our position in a deile.
For some time the attack of the Jap
anese infantry brigade was repealed.
Three battalions were engaged in the
frontal attack. But being menaced by
other troops engaged in a thanking
movement, our forces retreated.
'Reconnoitering parties report that
one portion of the southern Japanese
army is moving northeastward with
the intention of joining Gen. Kuroki's
forces.
"At noon to-day our cavalry was
hotly engaged near Seu Yu Chen.
"All the reports of the last few days
state that the forces of Japanese ar
rayed against our Manchurian army
consist of eight or nine infantry di-
visions and several brigades of re-
serves, which also occupy positions in
the fighting line"

WILL NOT BE MILES.
Relieved the PrOhibitiOnists win
Not Nominate Him.

Indianapolis Ind, June 2S.-At the
leaders of the Prohibition party, which
will meet in national convention here
tomorrow, it was announced by those
who have opposed Gen. Nelson A.
Miles candidacy for the presidency.
that if Gen. Miles will declare the be-
lief that the liquor problem is the
greatest question before the people,
and that the Prohibition party offers
the only solution of the problem, and
will declare his intention to stand with
that party politically, he will be given
the nomination Thursday. If, how
ever. that declaration is not forthcom-
ing. it was announced that another
candidate would be decided upon.
A letter written by Gen. Nelson A
Miles to John G. Wooley of Chicago,
and dated from Washington City, June
20, which was made public tonight,
is believed by National Chairman Stew
art and others to be final and to elm
mate Gen. Miles from consideration
as presidential candidate, though the
Pennsylvania delegation and others
who insist upon Gen. Miles nominal
ton have made no statement.
A movement has been started to
make oliver w. Stewart the presi-
Dental nominee. Joseph Cheaney of
Dallas, Tex, said that many South
erners were opposed to Gen. Miles be-
cause Miles had put jefferson Davis in
irons.
Gen. Miles in his letter, repeated his
suggestion as to postponement of the
nomination, and said: THE nomination
at Indianapolis on June 30, although an
added and greatly valued token of APP
prevail and confidence, would not, in
my judgment, afford that opportunity
for efficient and public service which
would be the chief motive for my re-
Suming official life"
