ORIENTAL SECRET TELEGRAPHY.
Strange Power of Communicating News
Over Great Distances.

The hope that the movement Of troops
against the Iakka Khes viii prove "a
regular surprise to these erring tribes
men leaves out of account the mystic
oriental power of rapidly and secretly
communicating news over vast distances
An instance Of this strange faculty was
furnished during the Indian frontier ex-
petition against the Waziris in 1895
Seventy-fve miles as the crow flies and
1870 miles by mountain rouds from their
base at Sheik Budin the British troops
defeated the Waziris, Heavy mist pre-
vented the news Of this success being
photographed until the following day.
when, communication being opened up,
the British officer nj Shoik Budin anti
cipated the news of the victory by stat
ing he had been Informed of il by natives
on the very evening Of its occurrence.
The most famous instance Of this sort
is associated with the assassination of
Lord Mayo by convict in the Andamau
islands. Within few hours of this muir
der an English official ut SiInla was told
by his Pathan servant that the yicerOy
was dead. kilograms announcing the
news did not arrive until the next day
How such messages are transmitted
are hidden from Europeans, but again
and again in India, as also in Egypt dur
ing the Sudanese campaigns, aud in
South Africa during the Boer war. the
authenticity aud speed in such native
telegraphy were proved Dundee Adver-
tleers.

said that the Salt Lake meeting would
