PRESIDENTIAL. SEA
WIRELESS MESSAGE REPORTS A
PLEASANT VOYAGE.
IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION
Wireless service Has Proven Success
ful-The President viii Give It
Close study.

st. Augustine, Fla, oct. 9O.-The
wireless station on Anastasla Island
has been in communication with the
cruiser West Virginia at intervals all
during Saturday night and yesterday.
Messages during the night conveyed
news that the president was well and
thoroughly enjoying the sea voyage
with fine weather up to that time.
The cruiser had not encountered
rough weather until shortly after
noon yesterday, when, nearing savan-
nah, It ran into the storm prevailing
alongs the coast.
Last night Admiral Brownson gave
banquet to the officers of the West
Virginia and her consorts in honor
Of the President. The usual Satur-
day evening band concert also was
an enjoyable feature to the President.
The cruiser and her consorts passed
by St Augustine shortly after o
o'clock this morning. The vessels
were nearly all one hundred miles off
the coast. Major Boice, in behalf of
the citizens of st. Augustine, sent a
message from this station offering
congratulations and best wishes for a
safe and pleasant voyage. The mes
cage was received and answered.
The station here picked up num-
Der of messages which were being
transmitted to the President, most of
which were words of congratulation
and best wishes from high officers all
over the country.
The presidential fleet was reported
off Savannah about o'clock yester-
day afternoon. The ships were well
out to sea and making remarkable
speed notwithstanding winds.
Chief Electrician Elkns in charge
of the station here states that the
weather while cloudy and blustery, has
been ideal for transmitting and re-
ceiving the wireless messages. He
has had no difficulty in receiving and
sending messages at distances rang
ing from 10 to nearly 1000 miles.
The Presidents voyage is proving an
excellent test for the wireless ser
vice along the coast. From all re-
ports 1t has proven most successful
and is being studied by the President
at his leisure afloat
The West Virginia at 9 o'clock last
night was almost direactly opposite
or east Of Savannah and between 1SC
and 200 miles out at sea.
At that time the operator aboard
the cruiser reported there was a strong
northeast wind blowing and a very
choppy sea. All aboard were well.

New York, Oct. 3O.-on the eve OF
the. beginning of the last week OF the
municipal election the managers OF

preparations for the most energetic
canvass New York City has known in
many years. Tammany, now thorough

turned the batteries Of 10000 eight
sheet posters depicting William r.

and the arch-color sergeant of anarchy,

nored by its orators. The Republicans
have at last awakened to the fact that

Tracey did in 1897 when he was the

County Committee has obtained money
and 1000 Republican speakers will
advocate the cause for Wins nightly.
The municipal ownership league will
make the city fairly hum from now
