Gen. Greedy Report on the Nome
st. Michael Line.

Washington, Oct. 31.-General A. W.
Greedy, chief signal officer of the army,
in his annual report says that upon an
hours notice the signal corps can fur
nish all equipment necessary for /, 600
miles of communications Studies of
war in South Africa and Manchuria
have shown deficiencies in the Ameri-
can army only IN connection with the
fire control of field artillery. Direct tel
egraphic communication is now estab-
Iished with five military posts in Alaska.
The commercial business has Melted
100000 during the past year and. it is
estimated Will be increased to 5000, coo
annually. The submarine cables of
southeastern Alaska are 1900 miles long
General Greedy says the gradients of
ocean depth were found abrupt, instead
of gradual, as was indicated by eXistant
souudings.
Speaking of the wireless work in
Alaska between Nome and st. Michael,
General Greedy says:
This is the only long wireless tele-
graph system in the world, it is believ-
ed, that is regularly operated as a part
of a telegraph system handling com
mercial business. On August 6. 1904, it
completed a year of uninterrupted ser
vice over its course of 107 miles. It has
handled and uninteFruptedIy the entire
Geographic business of Nome and the
Seward peninsula, which, together with
the official business, averages several
thouand words daily. More than a
million words were sent during the
year, many thousands being commercial

hour there have been transmitted over
this section 1000 words without error or

DUFFY IS EXPELLED.
The Georgetown Splinter No Longer a
Member of the A. A. U.

Kansas City, Mo, October 81
Fay r. Moulton of this city, who car
ried the blue of Yale to victory in
many track meets, received a letter
from James E. Sullivan, secretary of
the Amateur Athletic union. yesterday
stating that Arthur Duffy. the noted
Georgetown sprinter, had been expelled
from the A. A. u. Mr.. Sullivan also
said in his letter to Mr.. Moulton that
all the records made by Duffy would
be thrown out by the A. A. Z. and that
those who finished second to him in the
different events throughout the world
would be credited as winners.
The letter was especially interesting
to Mr.. Moulton as he finished second to
Duffy in the intercollegiate track meet
at Berkeley Oval in 1903 being beaten
only an inch in the 100-yard dash for
the championship. The distance was
covered in As seconds. Mr. Moulton
also finished second and third to Duffy
in other events. In case the records of
Duffy are thrown out by the governing
body of the A. A. u. Mr.. MoultOn's
name will be substituted as winner in
the championship sprint on Berkeley
Oval.

New York. Oct. 31.=High class
ends may be scarcer this year, but
there is one position that is well sup
piled with first class men, and that is
quarter back. The material in this

a rule. and it is not often that there
is such an array of men to link the
line with the back field and preserve
harmony of action between those two
attacking bodies.
The list includes Eekersan of Chi

ever played the game and wonder

CoRRIGAN IS HUFFY.

People Wonder Why.

Cincinnati, Oct. 31-With 50 horses in
his stable at Latonia, Ed Corrigan has
sent just two to the post during the
present meeting, and the Master of
Hawthorne hardly ever appears at the

Cincinnati, yet no one knows why nor

gan did some talking which was report

which seemed to be satisfactory. But
VIM is close-mouthed. and so is Cor
rigan. It was expected that he would
have many entries during the present
meeting, as his horses are all in cOndi-
ton, and their absence from the track
is lessening the interest, which appears
to be his motive, whatever the reason
may be.

sANDOW HAS VARIED CLASS.
Strong Man Brings Natives of Many
Countries Back

London, Oct 31.-Eugene sandow, the
champion of physical culture and fam
GUS man of muscle, has arrived here af-
ter a tour of Africa and the east and
has brought back a native from every
country he visited 30 in all. They in
clude Chinese, Hindus. Hottentots.
Kaff1rs and natives OF Punjab. These
he has Systematically trained.
Sandow conducted d mission during
his tour, the gospel he has preached
being the duty a man owes to his own
BODY.
"One Of my objects was to study the
methods of physical culture adopted by
different races, but did not see much
that commended itself to me. Another
and perhaps my greatest object was to
prove that my own methods of physical
training are equally applicable to all
nations on earth.
This consider I have done effec-
lively. I have chosen and brought back
with me a native of every country I
visited. The men chosen, in the ma
jority of cases, were Weaklings, and
some of these were very poor specimens
indeed. They Travelled with me and I
trained them as I went"
