Wireless TelegraDhy.

Sydney, n. g., Oct. H. Press AID
commercial service between Port Morien
and Clifden, Ireland, will be begun by
the Marconi Wireless Telegraph Com
pany at this afternoon, when mes
ssge will be dispatched from Premier
Sir Wiltred Lsurier, congratulating Eng
land upon the establishment of the new
means of communication With the west
ern world. The initial Msrconigram
from the Esst-s communication from
London to New York newspaper will
not be fled until tomorrow. Inventor
Marcoui has cancelled all invitations to
his friends aud newspaper men TO be
present at the opening OF the service, on
account of The condition of his expert,
Mr.. Hankeey, who is dying.
Glace Bay, N. g., Oct. 17.-With a
series of flashes that filed the Msrconi
station with binding light and OF booms
that fairly rocked the station, William
Marconi launched the first commercial
message by wireless across the Atlantic
ocean today. Scarcely had the sending
instruments ceased their work before the
operators were ready to receive the
answering words from the East coast
station at CliideD, Ireland.
The two initial messages were an ex-
change of congratulations at the estab-
lishment of new link between the old
and new worlds. From Premier Wilfred
Laurer, of the Dominion of Canals,
went a few words to the London Stand
ard, from London Strachona, the Cs-
madam High Commissioner in London
came a similar communication TO eli
Wilfred.
The remainder of tCday's business
will consist slmtss wholly OF press dis
patches. Toe operators seek accuracy
rather than rapidiiy and the days worS
will not euceed 1000 or 3 600 words.

CONFEDERATE RELICS.

The application by J. Tsyor EllysoD,
president of the Confederate Memorial
Society, to erect the proposed battle
abbey in Monroe Park, Richmond, raises
an interesting question. The society
has 5000, 900 for the purpose, half Of
which was given by the late Charles
Broadway Rouss.
The Confederate relics which would
be wanted for the battle abbey are, how
ever, owned by the Confederate Memos
rial Literary Association, which desirsf
the battle abbey to be adjoining tFH
Museum, the old White HouIe Of q
Confederacy, which, in itself, is one
the greatest Confederate relics of ~

suited formally about the matter,
it is understood, will oppose RENT
the museum to another place.

"saoT UP" TOWN.

The little towp OF Wilson, on the
Monongahsla river, about 20 miles above
Pittsburg, Pa, was almost depopulsted
Yesterday, as result of an attack in
true Western fashion made on the Town
early in the morning by several hum
bred Italians. The Italians, all OF them
intoxicated literally "shot up the
town until the |, 500 inhabitants fled in
terror.
There was an Italian birthday party
Tuesday night, which was attended by
all the Italians in the neigbborhood.
Large quantities of bad whisky were
served. Each of lie Italians was armed
and, smarting under the threats that
have been made against the Italian colo
nv on account of the Blackbssd out
RACES, The foreigners started out for re-
venge.
The foreigners divided into squads
aud visited every house 10 town, shoot
ing through windows snd doors and
terrorizing the inmates. Everyone was
warned to keep of the streets. The
only thing that saved wholesale loss OF
life was the fact that the injunction was
obtyed.
Antonio Piggi, one of the more re-
spectacle of the Italians OF the town,
demonstrated with his counIrymen, aud
moment latter fell to the ground with
half dozen bullets in his body. He
is in the McKeespoft Hospital oying
High constable Ezra Smith and
county detective John S. Engbert sue
ceeded in dispensing the crowd at dawn.
Then the inhabitants fed from their
houses and declared that they will not
return until the eighborhood is lid of
the foreigners, as they fear another out
break.
" scores of charges we're pre-
ferred against the Italians, and more
trouble Is expected when an attempt
is made to serve the warrants.

in Richmond the suit of Heinz against
Walden was begun yesterday. Miss
Heinz, a Philadelphia stenogrspher,
sues to recover s., 900 and an annuity of
81, 200 from the defendant. She alleges
that she was employed by Walden, a
Fredericksburg capitalist, at 800 a
month as stenographer. IL WAS stipu'
lated, according to Miss Heirz, that the
defendant should give her life position,
aud that she should be a beneficiary in
bis will at his death to the extent iof
S., 900. After she had served in the
employ of the defendant for some years
he discharged her. She then brought
suit to compel him to live up to the all
legged agreement. Miss Heirz says sh9
gave up lucrative business in Pnils4
delphis to accept the position with

New York Stock Market.

New York. Oct. 1.-THE market was fai
steadier during the first hour tn IN any one
on the street expected it would be. Fright
ened liquidation and some forCel closing out
of long accounts caused irregular declines in
that period, but the losses were not large
compared with those suffered at intervals in
the preceding days of the week. The name
Of John D. Rockefeller wss freely used on
the floor in connection with purchases of
Reading and number Of other stocks and
there were indications Of banking buying in
Steel, Union Pacific and Pennsylvania. The
range of phi ,es was almos. form, including
early declines OF to abou, 2 points in the
first few minutes, followed by an advance on
which the Losses were recovered on many
stocks.
After the fret hour there was renewed
heayness in the market AMI general uneasi-
ness prevailed. At midday the course Of

JAPANESE EMIGRATION.

According TO advices received by tht
s Gamer Empress of China which has ar
rived at Victoris, B. O., the Japsne,t
government will orgsnizs a bureau Of
immigration and colonization. A recent
action on the part Oflbe government re-
suIting from the prJ'ts.s IN he Pacific
coast have forced iuto liquidation rs
immigration companies. The govern
ment raised the indemnify which each
company is compelled 10 furnish from
s.. 900 each to s25, 900, which they we're
unable to do. Another Circumstance
having to do with their failure is the re-
fusal OF the government to is'ue pass
ports TO Mexico and Peru. Emigration
to Canada and Hawaii averages only
about !, 900 a month, which is insignif-
cant when divided among so many COM
psuies. Many of the japanese news
papers com ment adversely on the new
bureau, which they deem a ladder on
which to back down from occidental

WAR PREPARATIONS.

A sensational dispatch from Washing
ton says: Preparation for a hostile
emergency in the Pacific ia occupying
the time and attention of the military and
naval authorities 10 such an extent that
all other work has been suspended in
some branches Of the two servicea. The
war fever i. spreading through the per-
scnnel of tbs army and the navy. MSny
officers are now aware of The circumstan-
ces which led to The decision to send the
5stlleship feet to the Pacific, and with
their eyes opened in that respect they
are watching the trend of events with
absorbing interest. The idea that wsr
is coming is apparently firmly fixed in
the minds of some OF those having supe-
rior means of obtaining information as
to the governments attitude. OtheTS,
while depreciatirg the talk Of war aud
inclined to the belief that there will be
no COD Aict, contend, however, that prep
arati rs now under way are justified
by the situation as they understand ii,
and commend President Roosevelt for
what they regard as admirable foresight
on his part.
Under orders from the Navy Depart
ment, the entire working force at navy
yards on the Atlantic coast is being en-
ployed in making ready the vessels OF
the baitleship feet for the sc-called
practice cruise to the Pacific. Every class
of l-bor that can be utilized in getting
the feet into condition for its long voyage
has been withdrawn from its duties at
the yards and put to work on the ships.
The authorities of the army signal corps
are devoting themselves exclusively TO
arrangements for the installation Of cleo
trio fire control apparatus In the forti-
fcations of Subig Bay, the new naval
station established in the Philippines.
The work is being conducted TO the
detriment of other projects, but the
orders 10 complete il, which are under
stood TO have come directly from Presi-
dent R)c sevelt, are imperative.
The official assertion that the fleets
voyage 10 The Pacific is practice cruise
is technical bubble. Present plans do
not contemplate the return Of the feet to
The Atlantic, or even its retention at
stations on the Pacific coast of this con-
tinent Unless the purpose now in the
minds of those who will have o large
part in determining its future movements
uudergoes a change the hset will proceed
to The Philippines and will remain there.
