face and skull mashed almost beyonC
recognition and his pockets rihed.
The body was found few hund-

and face were battered and bruised
by some weighty bludseon. after

rock. The body had been cold over
II hours when found and police have
not vet determined whether the man
was killed Friday or Thursday night.
Attempt to make II mystery out OF
the man Little have failed. IL was
at first asserted that he was on Il
secret mission to member OF the
Reno divorce colony" and that he
was killed by some one connected
with this person. Then 1t was claim

the motive for what is recognized as
a murder, was not robbery.
Little was seeking subscriptions to

Mr.. Crane hasn't done these things
yet. Of course. He has not even had
the chance to do them, since. as we
have noted, he has not yet even so
much as sailed away from his native
shores for the field of his appointed
service, but he seems not to have
deemed it an indiscreion to discuss
with a casual acquaintance, who, as ii
happened, was newspaper reporter,
the whole range of subjects the An

Grafton with the Chinese government
together with some commentary or
the attitude this government was
likely TO hold in regard TO various u

THE WIRELESS PROPOSITION.

Although wireless telegfsphy Is still
largely in a formative state. il mas
made steady and important progress
within the past few years. Pracacally
all the navies of the world have
striven 10 keep apace with the others.
while the leading commercial steam
ship lines have equipped nearly ali
their vessels with wireless outfits.
Still. for one reason or another. the
system has made much less rapid
progress as a commercial medium Of
transmitting news than its merits ap-
pear to have justified.
: The main reason for this compare
lively slow progress commercially is
the powerful competition of the or
binary telegraph and cable systems.
As these systems do not reach ship
ping or outlying points on the sea
coast, in these latter fields of use
.fulness wireless telegraphy, as already
stated, has made great progress. Still
there are not wanting indications that
the system is coming gradually more
into use for commercial purposes. A
few days ago the British government
concluded an arrangement by which
it took over the commercial wireless
stations in Great Britain and will in
future operate them through the
postofice department. just as the
telegraph system Of Great Britain is
operated. No such arrangement is
possible in this country unless con
gress decided TO permit the govern
ment to assume a practical monopoly
Of wireless telegraphy, which is NOT
liHely II is true that the government
owns a number of wireless stations,
but they are used for government bus
mess only and in the transmission Of
messages to and from commercial
shipping at sea. where no other means
are available.
According to the census bureau at
Washington its Investigations for the
past year show that wireless telegra-
ply is being rapidly put on sound
commercial basis. There are six com
mercial companies doing business, but
as one of them was formed only re-
Gently the report for the year includes
the fun statistics of only five.
There We're 1872 wireless telegraph
tower stations reported by the six
companies as In operation. They are
located at advantageous points and at
most of the large ports on the At
lanHc and Pacific oceans, the Gulf of
Mexico, the Great Lakes and in Ha-
wall, All six of the commercial wire
less systems were operated by incor-
porated companies, and their princi-
pal business for the year consisted in
the transmission of 1857 messages
While the total income of the wire
less telegraph companies was $122,-

Guiding taxes, was $l69.7S2, leaving a
net deficit OF s47,62S. Only three
companies reported a net income on

Are Learning Truth.

These rumors have been spread
broadcast, but the truth has at last
begun to filter through, and Mana
guans are learning through various
sources that the revolutionists have
won the battle around Rama, and are
soon to turn their guns in the direc.
tion of the capital.
The present government is in no
condition to oppose the advance of
Gen. Estrada's army. President Ma
driz has behind him a strong political
force. but few fighting men, and no
preparations have been made to repel
an attack. Gen. Vasquez is now here
on sick leave. Only a few days ago
he was at Rama, but left his forces
under command of Gonzales. Gen.
Toledo, who recently was at the head
of the Zelayan force at Graytown.
which was said to be surrounded by
the insurgents, also is here.

Story Following in Lower House
of Leeislature-Other Prominent
Public Men Mentioned.
Special to The Neios.

Special to The Net0S.
Jackson, Dec. 24.-The death of
United States Senator A. J. McLau-
rim occurring within ten days of the
biennial legislative session, giv,s
promise of one of the most spirited
political struggles in the history of
the commonwealth.
Regardless of whether or not Gov
Noel sees fit to appoint temporary
successor, the legislature must elect
al incumbent for the unexpired term
OF three years and three months,
and the indications are that the
! names of a half dozen or more aspir-
ants will be presented. Prominent
among those mentioned is ex-Gover-
nor J. X. Vardaman, who announced
his intention several months ago of
entering the contest for Senator
McLaurin's seat, at the primaries in
,9l1, and has since been busily en-
gagged in organizing forces for the
fight.
Ex-Governor Vardaman has a
strong political and personal follow
ing in the legislature, as is generally
conceded, it is stated. even by his
strongest opponents, and it is said he
will unquestionably be a formidable
factor in the fight. The Vardaman
following is especially strong in the
/, lower house, composed of 135 men,
G bers, and his friends assert that he

Athat body. In the senate, composed

being mentioned, among them being
