After the tragedy of RED Sunday
Gorky is alleged to have been with
Nine. Andreiva when he was taken into
custody and brought to the fortress OF
ST. Peter and St. Paul.
Nine Gorky then bent her entire en-
ergy to secure his release. She jour-
neyed from official to official. suppli-
eating ON bended knees the release OF
the novelist. whose life she insisted
would be 5eopardized if he remained in
the damp dungeons Of the fortress. The
night he was released Nine. Gorky saw
him only for a few moments. and 1t is
said he then returned to Riga. where
he met Nine. Andreiva- In justice to
Gorky, however. it should be stated
that the police insisted that he should
leave ST. Petersburg Immediately.

TALKS ON PROGRESS
OF WIRELESS.

NEW YORK, April 13.-In an inter-
view with a representative of the New
York World. at Menlo Park, Mr.. Edi-
son, the wizard of electricity and the
persistent deliver after new miracles,
said, in answer to the following ques-
ton:
What do you think the most won
derful thing in the scientific world at
PRESENT."
Wireless telegraphy, without any
question. The fact that transatlantic
steamers are never out of communica
tion with both sides of the Atlantic
Ocean during their entire trip is GER
tainly a remarkable performance. II Is
ing to. Marconi is all right, and we
shall soon have the oceans securely
bridged with his wireless telegraphy.
Il am confident that within short
time there will be no more difficulty in
using ii from New York to London than
there is now in using the cable. In fact,
1t will be a very much simpler and
more effective and comprehensive
method of sending messages than by
cable. You see, In sending a message
by cable, there are hundreds of thou
sands of pounds of gutta percha to be
charged with electricity before the
wave can be transmitted from one end
to the other. That puts restriction
upon the capacity of the cable. With
striction at all. 1t is just as easy to
send twenty messages at once over the
wireless as 1t is now to send one over
the cable. I have no doubt that it will
soon be possible to send a hundred
words a minute by wireless telegraphy.
This, of course, requires special auto
matte instruments, which have been de-
vised. for the purpose and are being
perfected The results already attained
assure us of its success. Marconi will
girdie the globe by his system. Wireless
teIegraphy has a field to itSelf-the
ocean-a field that cannot be touched
by any other method. AS a matter of
fact wireless telegraphy is now being
used all over the world. Time is corn~
ing when any one on the maritime ex-
change can send out a wireless mes
sage and catch any vessel afioat in any
par. of the world, and change her route
ing 1t will be a great advantage to
change the routefng Of merchant yes
sci to the highest market. Every craft
that floats the seas will eventually De
equipped with the Marconi wireless tel
egraph.
THE ELECTRIC REVIEW SAYS:
There is no other system than the
Marconi, which regularly accepts COM
rnercial business for ship-to-shore
transmission There is no other system
than the Marconi which can communi-
cate with the large fleet of steamers
which enters and leaves New York har-
bor There is no other system than the
Marconi that has evidenced its faith in
wireless teIegraphy by installing three
expensive stations for transoceantc ser

Gaylord Wiltshire. whose apartments at

II am responsible for the telegram.
1t was not a matter of deliberatiOn, but
it occurred to me when L saw Gorky at

asked him If he would approve a mes
sage of sympathy to Haywood and

New Tunnel Assured.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col. December
2O.-With one million dollars pledged and
every dividend-paying mining company in
the Cripple Creek district, together with
the mills, smelters and railroads, heartily
supporting the project, the long-talked-of
deep-drainage tunnel for the camp Is as
sured. Work On the tunnel will begin be-
tween January l and January 10, ac-
cordng to s. Bernard Of this city, who
was yesterday elected president of the tun-
mel company.
The construction of a deep-drainage tun-

of water in the deep and UNEMPLOYED por-
lions of the property. The directors of the
tunnel company will meet next week to
determine definitely whether the interme-
date or deep-drainage tunnel shall be
built.
The intermediate bore would cost $500, 900
and would require thirty months to con-
struct. 1t would cut the camp at a depth
of $50 feet below the present tunnel. The
deep-drainage bore would require from
three and one-half to four years in con-
struction and would cost 100000. 1t
would cut the camp at depth of 1150 feet
below the present tunnel and would be 500
feet deeper than the deepest shaft in the
district. 1t would open up practically as
much virgin territory as has already been
worked.

Gasoline Motors for Sailing Ships.

The use of gasoline motors as auxiliary
motive power for sailing ships is spreading
to the large coasting schooners and it is
predicted that within the next year or two
large proportion of the coasting fleet will
have propellers and gasoline power engine
aboard to drive it. Gasoline engines are
now quite common among the small bay
craft employed in running oysters and other
cargoes, but as yet the use of that type of
motor has not extended to the larger cargo
carriers. The new four-masted schooner
Northland, recently built at Rockland Me-
for the coasting trade, is the first of the
large coasting schooners to be fitted with
a gasoline power engine and screw for use
in calm weather to aid her sails when
wanted The schooner Is a vessel of more
than 1,500 tons burden, and is 27O feet long
The engine is of 500 horsepower, and will,
1t is stated, give the schooner a speed of
six knots an hour. and she can c-rry suffi-
cient fuel in her tanks to travel 800 miles,
On recent trip when the Northland with
fleet of vessels bound to New York, lay
becalmed off Nantucket, the engine of the
schooner was started up, and she was in
port and discharging her cargo for two
days before the first of the vessels she had
left lying in the calm came into port.

Seeding Potomac Oyster Beds.

The owners of the private oyster-growing
farms along the lower Potomac are not
waiting until spring before starting the
work of seeding their beds from which the
oysters have been taken this winter. This
seeoing consists of covering the bottom Of
the river with a layer of oyster shells
foot or more thick and allowing them to
remain undisturbed for three or four years.
Oyster spat, as the embryonic bivalve is
called float about in the water until they
strike some hard substance to which they
attach themselves. There they remain and
grow, and under ordinary conditions be-
come of a marketable size in a few years.
Oyster shells are particularly liked by the
spat, and for that reason the shells are al
ways used when they are to be had. The
J. c. Graham left here yesterday
evening for the lower river with cargo
of shells aboard for the Potomac beds, and
other vessels will follow at once. A few
years ago shells were only used as a mate
rial for making lime and feeding chickens,
but now the supply at the local oyster mar
ket, where hundreds of bushels are shucked
each day, is much smaller than the demand.

HALF OF GOTHAM
MORE VAN HORN HEIRS CLAIM
BIG SLICE OF METROPOLIS.

NEW YORK, December 2O.-Louis p.
Kooken, real estate broker of Philadelphia,
served notice through his attorney, Ira Jay
Dutton, 220 Broadway, on the city of New
York yesterday that the Van Horn heirs
have a right to all of that part of the town
north of a diagonal line drawn from the
foot Of West 74th street to the foot Of
East 10th street
The same claim has been put in once
every new moon for the last thirty or forty
years, so Controller Metz and Corporation
Counsel Ellison did not get excited.
There are more Van Horn heirs than any
body has ever taken the trouble to count.
Mr.. Kooken and many Of the heirs have
taken the trouble to calculate how much
is due them from the land other folks are
squatting on, and the figures hover about
the $5CO.OOOCG0 mark. They claim slice
Of Central Park, the dog pound in 10th
street, Bronx Park. the water fronts Of the
East and North rivers and all the creeks In
the Bronx, besides all the surrounding prop
erty. Lawyer kooken iptmated yesterday
that Andrew Carnegie's land at 91st street
and 9Th avenue is liable to be seized by the
Van Horn heirs.
The revival of the ancient Van Horn
claim, that has given work to lawyers for
a century, is due to the alleged discovery
of the Bible of Abraham Van Horn, who
died some time about 100. In this Bible,
musty and rat-eaten, the heirs, through Mr..
Kooken, CLEAN to have the memoranda of
the original patents for the land. 1t was
made over to the original Abraham in 1866
by Richard Nicolls and Thomas Dongan,
governors of the colony.
I'VE have got glorious start in our fight
to get back what belongs to u.s. said Mr..
koOken, land never before in all the at
tempts that have been made have SO many
heirs been affiliated in the one understand
ing. There are thousands of us. and We
are going to get what we are after. We
are giving the city of New York thirty days
to make answer
Mr.. Kooken went on to name, in his en-
thusiasm, the Schools churches. streets,
parks and palaces that would be the prop
erty of himself and his relatives when they
win their suit.
And l am sorry to say thhat many of
the big surety companies will have to shut
up shop when we wn,' he said.
The family Bible on which the an Horn
heirs are pinning their faith is now in the
possession of DR.. S. w. Lammeraux of
Stroudsburg, Pa. He took it for debt
thirty years ago, having doctored Van
Horn. 1t was only recently that he dis
covered that the Bible is worth half bill
lion The Van Horn heirs found out about
it and began organizing. They wanted
peep at the Bible but the aged physician
said they could not have a peep until they
all got together and decided on something
definite. So they have been getting to-
gether by hundreds since last May, and
few have been permitted to inspect the
Bible. That is the cause of the papers
served on the city of New York yesterday.

CASE WORKERS CASE.
Temporarily Adjourned by the Inter
state Commerce Commission.

state Commerce Commission.
After hearing evidence all day offered by
the defense the interstate commerce COM
mission yesterday adjourned until next
Monday the complaint of the North Caro-
lima Case Workers Association against
various southern and western railroads do
ing a transcontinental business and in
volving the application of the $1.7O COM
modify rates on shipments of 10000 pounds.
The question of the readjustment of the
commodity rate with established mini
mum of freightS is to be taken up at the
meeting of the transcontinental freight bu-
read on the 10th of January, and at this con-
ference representatives of the Southern and
other railways are expected to be Present.
1t is hoped at this meeting that some
rangement may be arrived at whereby the
causes for the complaint of the case work
ers will be to some extent obviatcd.
This work will be finished by the 1st of
February. In view of this fact the COM
mission suggested to both parties to the
complaint that a temporary arrangement
be entered into pending further investga-
ton by which the present rate now allowed
only on carload minimum of 20, 600 pounds
will be applied to a carload minimum of
10000 pounds when loaded in a thirty six
foot car, when the larger cars that may be
asked for cannot be furnished by the rail-
road The attorneys representing the de-
PENDANTS asked that the commission give
them until Monday in order that they may
make inquiries of the companies they rep
resent as to whether this would be agree
able to them. This permission was grant
ed and the case adjourned.
During the day the Southern railway in
troduced evidence to show that it has
increased its rolling stock in proportion
to Its traffic, and that 1t has a suffi-
cient number of the class of cars demand
ed by the furniture shippers, but that most
of these cars are in the hands of western
railroads, having been sent loaded to the
Pacific coast. 1t was stated that the road
did not feel warranted in increasing the
number of cars of the class demanded by
the shippers in which the 10000 minimum
freight may be carried.
