CARDINAL GIBBONS
RETURNS, BRINGING
PAPAL BLESSING
Prelate Has Entirely Recovered

itics and Religion.
Especial to the Evening star.1

NEW YORK, Oct. Swinging with
him a blessing from the Pope for the
American people. Cardinal Gibbons re-
turned yesterday from a three months
trip to Europe. Although he had been
i'll while abroad, the prelate declared
he was now in good health.
Cardinal Gibbons would not discuss
the political situation, as he stated
that he was not as yet in a position
to form an opinion. When a CORE
spondent from Baltimore said that all
of the newspapers of that city were
for Judge Taft he smiled and said:
There seems to be a great preference
for one candidate"
"Can you speak of modernism in the
Catholic Church, the cardinal was
asked.
Il can, but I prefer not to at the
present time" he answered.
In the party of the cardinal was his
secretary, the Rev. Louis O'Donovan,
and the Right Rev. John S. Foley.
bishop of Detroit, with DR.. Charles s.
Grindall. a Baltimore physician. On
the ship, returning from the Euchar-
istic Congress, vas the Right Rev. j.
H. Mclean. OF St. Peters Church, this
city. and nearly one hundred school
children from the parish school We're
at the pier to meet him.

WEAK MARKET

Political Troubles in London
Have Depressing Influence
on Stocks.

NEW YORK, Oct. S.-Opening prices
of stocks today were adjusted to the
levels established earlier in London,
where the troubled political outlook
again caused weakness in the market.
Northern Pacific ran off 1A, Louisville
and Nashville ~, Canadian Pacific and
Chesapeake and Ohio rs. Consolidated
Gas Ia, and Southern Pacific, Atchison,
st. Paul, Reading, Amalgamated Cop
per and American Smelling /. The
average losses In the rest of the list ran
to substantial fractions.
Indications of support and the will
ingness of the short interests to cover
at the opening prices caused a sharp
fractional rally. A later reaction In
which Union Pacific went to 1853 caused
the market to sag back again to about
the first prices, after which 1t became
steadier and very dull. Erie first pre-
ferred receded ~, the second preferred
l, and Southern Railway preferred 2
points.

Missouri Pacific, Great Northern pre-
ferred n Erie IA and many promi-
nent stocks a point. American Snuff
sold at an advance of 5A and Chicago

l p. m.-Liquidation was unrestrained
among the higher priced railroad stocks
and there was a steady fall In values.
While the railroad list was the brunt of
the selling, round amounts of various
~specialties were also let go at material
Declines. Union Pacific and st. Paul
ruled 8 points below yesterdays closing,

2 p. m.-Following a curtailment of
the selling pressure prices improved
slightly, but the advantage was not
long held. A decline of two points in
Amalgamated Copper unsettled the
market afresh.

COLLINS TELLS OF THE
WIRELESS PHONE WONDERS.
Inventor Gives Interesting Ad'
dress in New York.

NEW YORK. Oct. ga. F. Collins,
of Newark. who has been foremost
In developing wireless telephony, oelns
the man who devised the only instru-
ment capable of sending articuiale
spcecb over any distance without usins
wires as a medium, made an interest
ing address al the electrical snow III
Madison Square Garden last night.
Sound is d curious deceiver, SAID
Mir. Collins. THE man across new
York bay who sees a Puff of smoke
from, a gun at Fort Hamilton knows
that he will hear the boom a little later.
He hears It, but would be trouble II
he tiled to tell how it Travelled. Ihe
substance called ether carries the
sound. We have harnessed this energy
carrying capacity of the ether SO that
speech can be heard almost any dis
tance. It is the electrical counterpart
of the steam-wbistle.
1.-THE same etheric waves that were
first controlled and used by Hertz. then
by Marconi In wireless telegraphy are
now impressed anew by the oscillation
arc for wireless telephony. Wireless
telephony will be immensely adVan-
tageous for communication between
ships, liners in mid-ocean, between
men-of-war, from battleshlp TO fort, In
mines, In case of a breakdown in auto
MODELLING. for it Is inevitable that
garages will be equipped with wireless
telephones, the same as with tire
pumps and ignition plugs"
Numerous demonstrations OF the
practical use of wireless telephone
communications have recently been
held, the first being from the inventors
laboratory, in Newark, to the tower OF
the Singer building. in New York,
twelve miles away, and successive mes
sages nave been sent n received from
Newark and Congers, N. Y, thirty-five
miles away, and more recently from
Newark to Philadelphia, eighty-one
miles.
Collins sent a wireless telephone
message across the Delaware river as
far back as September, 1900. He pre-
diets that 1t will be only a matter OF
months before subscribers in New York
can call up Trenton, Newark. Philadel-
phia or Atlantic City and hold wireless
conversation, free from mechanical dis
turbances.

WHEAT SHORTAGE
OF 10000 900 BUSHELS

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-With a
worlds wheat crop for the second year
in succession much below the average,
says a European crop report of the De-
partment of Agriculture, the extent of
the probable European demand for for
eign wheat is a subject of special i'm
portance. The latest estimate of the
Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture in
dicates a shortage for Europe of 18,0OO.-
900 bushels. The heaviest decrease Is
shown for France, whose surplus from
last year may suffice, however, to rem
der France independent of foreign grain
for its bread supplies.
