WIRELESS ON TRAINS
UNIQUE INNOVATION BY CHICAGO
 AND ALTON.
Experiment. Proved Entirely Successful and Railroad Announces Inten- ton of Equipping the
 System.

Chicago, June S.--As further pro- lection to their train service, the Chi cago and Alton Railroad announced to- day that the company had made all ar- engagements for the establishment of & wireless telegraph system on all trains running between Chicago and St. Louis. and that eventually the innovation would be extended to the entire sys- tenn.
 That the wireless telegraph can be used on fast moving trains with entire satisfaction are demonstrated today by the Alton road. when messages were sent from Chicago to the officials of the road travelling on the limited train run ming between Chicago and St. Louis. The observation car on the train was equipped with wireless apparatus and while running at the rate of fifty miles an hour messages were received from President Felton in the general offices in Chicago and replies sent back with out the slightest hitch. So successful was the experiment that 1t was decided to equip at once all trains running on the line between here and St. Louis with the wireless apparatus
 This is the first time that the wire less system has ever been used to com municate with persons on a moving train" said President Felton tonight. ''The experiment was sc successful that in a very short time we will be hand ling all our train orders over the wire less system. By this system the dis patcher will be able to reach any train on any part of his division whenever he pIeases Trains running in close proX- imity to each other will also be able to exchange messages as we will have telegraph operators on all freight trains as well as passenger trains. With this system on our trains, we believe that 1t will be absolutely impossibl etc have a collision on our road. no matter what the weather conditions are. as the ope- rators on every train will know the exact whereabouts of every train on the road"

Subject Discussed In Relation to Isth-
 mfan CnnaI Labor.
 Washington, June S--Attorney- General Moody has written a letter to the Sec retary of War giving his views on the subject of peonage which 1t is intended will assist the Executive committee of the isthmian canal commission in mak- ing contracts for the furnishing of la bor in digging the canal to avoid a condition of involuntary servitude un- der the authority of the United States. The attorney general quotes section 1 of the thirteenth amendment to the Constitution which inhibits slavery or involuntary servitude and then says United States extends there the pro- hibitions of this article accompany 1t. In the course of his discussion of the subject MT. Moody says.
 Tt Is stated that the commission pro- poses to import or control aliens under contracts to perform labor on the ca- nal. The condition of such laborers is not necessarily one of involuntary serv- itude, but 1t may be and in fact usually is condition of involuntary servitude limited in duration. This is clearly shown by an examination of the rela- tion of the laborer to his employer, which has come to be described as coolyism in the various parts of the world where 1t exists"
 After describing by way of illustra- tion the wondrous conditions imposed by the "coolie' laws prevailing in In- dia. the attorney-general says that he entertains no doubt that these condi- tions are those of involuntary servi- tude.

GRAND STILL RISING.
Flood Conditions Promise to Become
 Very Serious.


 Grand Rapiis. Mich., June s.-The Grand River is still steadily rising here. The only encouraging news comes from up river points, where the water IS re- ported to be stationary or falling. The water here has now gone over Front Street south of Bridge Street. Many residences in the south end are com pletely surrounded by deep and swift currents Workmen are struggIins frantically to keep the north end dyke from going to pieces and 1t seems 70 be about an even chance whether they will succeed.
 A special to The Evening Press says that communications have been partial ly re-established with Whitehall. which has been isolated for sixty hours. The conditions on White River above the town are worse than had been expected. The damage to crops, bridges and dams will reach hundreds of thousands. Threee large dams at White Cloud, Hesperia and Ferry were washed com pletely away.
 About 100 concerns, large and small are closed today because of the floods and 5000 men are out of employment. As yet, however, the damage to build ings is not great. In the business dis trict only Front Street, on the west side and North Canal Street. on the east side are thus far flooded. Streets south of Butterworth Avenue in the southwest portion of the city are food ed and mail deliveries have been sus- pended in that section of the city.
 The river reached stage of IA at 9:30 today as compared with 15.b at the same time yesterday. The water has almost reached the floors of the city bridges and the Leonard Street bridge has been closed to trafic because of the danger that it may give way. Every thing depends upon the protecting dyke at the north end. If that holds the principal and more wealthy portion of the west side of the city will be largely saved from heavy damage. The rail- road situation is improving.

Gunshu Pass. Manchuria, June B. According to reports received by Gen eraO Linevitch from naval officers who have arrived at Vladivostok the loss of Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet were from nine to ten thousand officers and men killed or drowned and about 5000 prisoners.
 General Batjanoff, commander of the third Manchurian army, addressing the troops on the occasion of the Elm press's birthday. told them he hoped soon to be able to telegraph the news of a Russian victory to Her Majesty Later in a conversation with the cor respondent of the Associated Press the General declared the defeat of the fleet was a sad and hard blow but 1t would not affect the morale of the troops who with doggedness of Russian sol diers were prepared to fight on as long as the Emperor gave the word. If the sea is lost,' he added, Russia can still be victorious on land. Peace, unless Japan Is reasonable, Is impos- sible."

A stronr nncnmenf.

St. Petersburg. June 9.-U:50 A. M.)-The voice of the delegates of the Zemstvos and municipalities demand ing in no uncertain tone the imm mediate convocation of a national assembly to pass upon the question of peace or war. to heal internal strife and to unite the people for the rejuvenation of Russia will be heard in the address adoptej by the All Russian ZemstVos congress at Moscow, which a deputa- tion headed by Count Hayden and M. Shipoff is bringing to present to the Emperor.
 The document bids fair to become historic. The customary pharses of respect at the opening and the clos unceremoniOus, employing the direct personal pronoun. The address ar raigns the bureaucracy and reminds the Emperor that his pledge to con- yoke a national assembly is slow of fulfillment. It says the country is on the verge of ciA.l war and even ventures to criticize d royal measure, contrasting the increase of the police power by the ukase issued last Sunday with d weakening of the adminlstra- tive process which the country had been led to expect. The address urges the summoning of a national assem- ply. that the war may become national or cease, and concludes with a sol emn reminder of the sovereign's duty so God and the Fatherland and prfR- Pr for action before it is too late.
 There is intense interest to learn whether the Emperor will receive the bearers of so hold a message in tones as never before have been used be- tween the Emperor and his subjects. The address is buttressed with stream of petitions from individual zemstvos and municipalities.
 The doumas of nearly all the prin- sipal cities have addressed the throne praying that the people be summoned at once.
