TRIUMPH OF THE WIRELESS.
Human Progress IL MRstering the
Per1s of h Sen.

PerIIs of the Sea.
Springfield Republican.
1t is the boast Of the Cunard steamship
company that in the man years of it's
operations on the sea 1t has never lost a
passenger by shipwreck. Two or three
years ago several passengers on one OF its
vessels lost their lives or were injured
Through the falling OF a giant wave on
the upper decks, but there was no ship.
wreck and would have been no loss of life
but for the daring OF carelessness Of the
persons who suffered. The company ex-
perienoes it's usual good fortune in the
wreck of the Slavonia or a hidden reef
extending out from the westermost island
OF the Azores group, but as In the case OF
the steamer Republic of the White Star
line, we are left to c~onjure what would
have happened had wireless telegraphy
been nonexistent
The two cases appear TO be closely par
Hallel, so far at least as concerns the work
OF rescue. Urgency messages were scat
tered out upon the ocean from the Slav-
oniR as from the Republic, and they
were picked up by two ships in this case
as by several in the case OF the Republic,
which was wrecked in a more frequented
lane of the ocean. There is the same rush
to the assistance of the endangered people
now as then, and the same effective work
in removing them to the rescuning vessels.
The slavonia was close by liant when
wrecked, while the Republic was seventy
five miles or so away from the land; and
II there had been no wireless telegraphy
connected with the Slavonia to summon
help from the ocean, rescue would doubt-
less have been effected by way OF the land,
for a sea no heavier than to admit OF the
transfer of the passengers to other ships
would likely have permitted their landing
with the help of those on shore. But the
coast there is rocky and PERCEPTIONS and
landing in a fairly smooth sea would have
been attended by greater dangers than are
involved in transfer TO other vessels.
Again. therefore, II must be said that
wireless telegraphy has played an impor-
tant part in saving life from marine dis
aster, and demonstrated it's priceless value
in improving the safety OF ocean transpor-
tation. 1t is all very impressive OF human
progress in mastering the powers OF the
natural world for the protection OF life as
well as for the Industrial service OF men.
No vessel carrying passengers can longer
be excused for failure to be equipped with
wireless apparatus, and II is not 70 be sup
posed that many OF any vessels 50 lacking
have been going to sea since the Republic

Lively Fight in Prospect.

A senatorial contest upon a direct pri-

masterful seizures of high place formerly
attempted by the great democrat. Yet

is a good graft for the bonding COM

compete for these deposits by offering
the city the most advantageous inter-

whatever and the rate is the lowest
which they pay, on any of their inter-

this is that they have to pay an addi-

The dcporting Of a man and wife
and five small children is one of the
distressing features of the govern

become public charge within three
years after landing In this country
must be sent back To their homes.
