Rescue at Palisades Cliff.

NEW YORK, May 14. Standing helpless 200 feet below, a mother watched her little daughter as she chung for life to a crag that jutted from the side of the Palisades. The child, descending the cliff, had fallen and in her fall had grasped the sharp rock and hung there alternately crying for aid and reassuring her parent, who, half crazed, watched from below The little girl was Eileen Burns of Fort Lee. The Burns family lives in cot tage at the base of the Palisades. See ing the grief of her mother as rescue failed, the child called out to her par ent: Don't cry, mamma. have said a prayer, and God will help me- When William Huber, neighsor, appeared, he quickly climbed to the top of the Palisades by nearby footpath and at the risk of his own life descended to the point where the child was On hands and knees he made his way down the Palisades and with difficulty reached the little girl and bore her to safety.

Sheriff and Posse Will Capture or
 Shoot Outlaw Dfetx.
 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., May 14.- George 10th, deputy sheriff, has vol unteered to capture the outlaw Dietz, who is holding officers at bay near Hayward, Wis. He expects to get ar tillery from Madison and dislodge the outlaw without loss of life other than that possibly of Dietz himself.
 Encamped in a stone fort a short distance from his house on Apple creek, John F. Dietz holds control of the stream and the log drives. This stone fort he built when he determined to collect $14,OO0 which. he says, the Chippeway Lumber company owes him.
 All the men employed by the Chip peway Lumber and Boom company at the Cameron dam, on the Thornapple river, which Dietz is holding up, have returned, the drive being abandoned. Over 10,o0O,O00 feet of logs are lying high and dry, the dam being kept open by Dietz. Sixty armed men have start ed out with the deputy sheriff to cap ture Dietz dead or alive.

MARCONI'S SUCCESS.
Wireless Message From tho
 Oannpania While at Sea.
OCEAN VOYAGER TO HAVE DAILY NEWS

Heretofore Liners While In Mid Att
 For Two Days-WireIess Wiz-
 ard Will Overcome This.
 NEW YORK, May 14--The Tribune sent message yesterday by wireless telegraphy to William Marconi, in- ventor of the wireless telegraph, who was on the Campania off Nantucket lightship, asking him as to the success of his experiments on that vessel. He sailed from Liverpool with improved instruments and the hope to keep up continuous communication with both shores during the voyage, thus making it possible for daily newspaper to be published on the ocean liners that gould give a daily account of happen ings on both sides of the Atlantic. The following reply was received from the inventor last evening by way of Sias- consett (Nantucket):
 Thanks for message. Undertook voy age for purpose ascertaining require ments on shipboard for daily news message. Results satisfactory for im- mediate inauguration
 
 from Liverpool last Saturday instru- ments which Marconi had been at work for several months perfecting were placed in the shore stations at Poldhu and on the Irish coast. Dupli- cate instruments were installed at Sias- consett and aboard the Campania. To assist him in his experiments Marconi has with him on the Campania his chief technical assistant and private secretary, MT. Kemp, and special op- orator. The Cunard company, on whose boats Marconi has made many of his most important experiments in long distance wireless telegraphy, is much interested in his attempt on the present voyage to maintain continuous com munication, and if he is successful it will at once establish 8 daily news service for it's patrons.
 A news service has been furnished the patrons on the ocean liners for some time, but in mid sea there has generally been hiatus of about two l days before the shore station toward which the steamship was running has been picked up. The day after the sinking of the Petropavlovsk and the death of Admiral Makaroff the purser of the Kroonland got out in mid ocean an extra edition with the news of the disaster, the first ever printed at sea.

English Government Will Re-enforce
 Expedition to Tibet.
 LONDON, May 14.-Dispatches from S1mla India, say that half battalion of fusileers and half battalion of na- val infantry, with four ten-pounder guns, have been warned to prepare for Narvice in Tibet.
 The dispatches from Gyangtse say the Tibetans at Jong have been strong idently far more expert with the use of modern weapons than the Tibetans previously encountered and, having obtained the range, are pouring a hot fire into the British, whose position is becoming hourly one of increasing peril.
 The greater part of the garrison made descent upon the Jong monas- tery and on returning suffered from q hot fire from Jong, the elevation of which enables the Tibetans to pour a pIunging fire and adds greatly to the range of their weapons, which have been fairly accurate and effective since the Tibetans got the range of the mis- sion post exactly.
 The report that Captain Paris serv- ants were put to death with barbarity, being slowly cut to pieces, has been confirmed. Sung, Chinaman who was taken and released, admitted that the Chinese General Ma was responsi- ble for this outrage by deliberate in- action.

ROBERT R. HIT FOR VICE PRESIDENT

,.
 speaker Cannon Called Convention to Hearl&en and Keep order With a
 Megaphone-DeIegat CuI1om,
 Hopkins. Cannon and Yates.
 SPRINGFIELD, ILL, May IA Roosevelt and Hitt!'' is the slogan of the Republicans of Illinois, who in con- vention here have instructed their del egates to Chicago to work for the nom- ination of Theodore Roosevelt for pres ident and of Robert R. Hit of Illinois for vice president.
 Wild scenes marked the opening of the second session Speaker Cannon called the convention to order with great megaphone, through which he announced that unless order was main tained he would adjourn the meeting to the hall of representatives and ex- elude all except the delegates and rep resentatives of the press.
 The committee on delegates to the national convention reported as fol lows:
 Delegates at large-Senators Shelby NJ. Cullom and Albert B. Hopkins, Speaker Joseph G. Cannon and Gov ernor Richard Yates
 ternates-Lieutenan Governor W. A. Northcott, Hon. Asa Matthews, Paul Morton and Samuel Insull.
 Electors at large-Lot Brown and William J. Moxley.
 This report was adopted unanimous Iy, and the committee on resolutions then reported through Walter J. Reeves.
 The platform gives credit to the mon- ey policy of the national administra- ton in assisting to bring about present unexampled prosperity and pledges the party to the maintenance of the gold standard Loyalty to the protective tariff is reaf1rmed. Appropriations are favored to place the navy in point of strength and efficiency in its proper pc sition among the nayies of the world. The possession of the Philippine is- lands gives the United States the right to voice in the affairs in that part of the world, and the action of Secretary Hay in securing the open door policy of trade in the orient is recognized as the greatest diplomatic achievement of modern times.
  Roosevelt is praised and the delegates to the national convention are instruct ed for him and to use all honorable means to secure the nomination of Congressman Robert R. Hit of Illinois for vice president.
 Several attempts were made to stampede the convention in behalf of the leading candidates, as there is a deadlock on the gubernatorial nomina- ton. Seven factions, representing as many candidates, are standing almost in solid, immovable phalanxes.
 The first ballot was: Governor Rich ard Yates, 5O7 2-3; Frank o. Lowden, 354 2-3; Charles s. Deneen, 3S6 2-3; H. J. Harnlin, 121; Vespasian Warner, 45, and l.. Y Sherman, S7. Necessary to nominate, 750.
 The fourteenth ballot stood: Yates, 4S2; Lowden, APO; Deneen, 381; Ham lin, no; Sherman, 50; Warner, 36, and Pierce 21.
 After the fifteenth ballot, which showed practically no change, the con vention adjourned.
