Relief in Probable Develop

inquiry.
FOUR MEN ARE WOUNDED
TER WILL Be SETTLED WHEN
A SATISFACTORY SETTLEMENT
DECIDED ON.

st. Petersburg. June 19.-The British
embassy here has received a report
concerning the firing upon the British
steamer WOODBURY. Wednesday night
by vessel OF the Russian squadron
which was patroling the vicinity Of
Pithpas bay. where Emperor Nicholas
and Emperor William were to meet
the following day. The report came
from the British vice consul at Viborg
from whom the embassy asked for an
explanation of the incident. Its con-
tents have not been made public
The belief that any grave develop
ments would follow the affair has been
excluded. however. for it was evidently
due to some ones blunder for which
either or both sides are willing to ex-
press regret. No ofiicial statement of
the facts surrounding the case has yet
been given out. While private advices
from Viborg assert that the Wood
burn was steering in accordance with
directions given her by a conveying
torpedo boat, naval officers Of the
squadron declare the steamer was
haeding directly for the STANDARD and
that they could not afford to run the
risk Of having the imperial yacht run
down.

Items Gathered in
From Far and Near
Paris sets the Pace.

From the Baltimore American.-In
this country the movement for syste-
matte and carefully thought-out plans
for the adornment of cities is of COM
paratively recent development. Not
until within the last decade did the
Identification propaganda seem to
take firm hold upon the popular i'm
agination Of urban populations in the
United States. The genius Of munic-
ipal adornment has at last arrived,
however, In nearly every American
city. It was once remarked OF GER
tain inland city that IF she ever does
take to culture she will make culture
hum" American cities in general
have not exactly been making this
Identification proposition "hum," but
they have taken hold of the idea, and
concededly the most artistically beau
tiful city on the terrestrial globe. The
city on the Seine began to apply sys-
tematic plans Of adornment centuries
ago. Under the monarchies. uuring
the imperial. regime and later under
republican administration, the French
capital has been transformed in ac-
cord with ideals worked out by men
OF genius. And during the first de-
cade of this twentieth century the pol
icy OF identifying and adjoining the
French metropolis is being carried out
perhaps more systematically and up
on vaster scale than at any previous
period of the city's history.

West Point and the Boys.

From the New York Times.-The
lack of sufficient number of cadets
at West Point is an evil that can east
ly be remedied. There are surely
enough sturdy boys in our schools
anxious to go to the Military Academy
and get officers commissions in the
army. The idea Is general that to get
in West Point is very difficult, quite
beyond the power of the poor boy
without influence. The parents of poor
boys are generally too busy, often too
ignorant or careless to help them
much. To be sure, the exceptional
youth. determined to get in the army
through West Point. in spite OF all
hazards. will get there and do well.
We remember one who failed Of en-
trance, for one reason or another,
three successive years. but went
through the fourth. and is now facing
his brigadier generalship. But there
is no reason to believe that all the
officers in the army were quite such
obstinate and determined youngsters.
Luck counts at West Point as else
where, and there is such thing as in
fluence-not necessarily baleful or OBJ
jectionable.

LITERARY WORLD
THE WIRELESS AGE.

II the next decade brings as many
victories as the past, a wireless era
will have been established. 1t is lit
tie more than decade since Mar
coni's achievement astonished the
world-little more than year since
DeForrest demonstrated the practical
bility of the radiophone. Other wire
less scientists had been working along
similar lines for years without attract
ing attention. The great impulse
came with the first success. Hosts of
experimenters, professional and anna
teur, are working at the problems.
Wireless science is being taught in
public schools and colleges. and there
are now institutions which specially
fit students for the work.
That electrical power sufficient to
propel airships or furnish energy for
any purpose can bo transmitted
and again by different inventors.
Aside from driving vehicles and small
boats by wireless power, inventors
have run machinery, have cooked,
have lighted electric bulbs, in fact.
have accomplished everything they
could with power over the wires.
though in a smaller radius. Soon.
they promise. all energy will be dis
tributed In this way. No longer will
smoke stacks or reeking locomotives
and automobiles poison the air. Yes
sells will even churn the seas, propell-
ed by the invisible force. Coal, if used
at all, will be transformed directly to
energy at the fields. More important,
however, will be the natural sources
such at Niagara Falls, which could
supply most of America, provided the
electricity could be transmitted eco
nomical1y. ..
Perhaps the most convincing DEM
onstration of the theory was that first
made by the Union Pacific Railroad
about year ago. A motor car driv-
en- by electricity, transmitted wire
lessly from a central station In the
freight yards at Omaha, Neb.. hauled
strings of freight cars. day after day,
attaining speed of six miles an hour.

known as "selective Device" that

The Life Savers.

From the Providence Tribune
During late years. at least, when the
entire country has been making its
way to the seaboard and the volume
of passenger traffic on the ocean has
been rapidly increasing it has been
difficult, If not impossible, to under
stand the niggardliness Of the govern.
ment in dealing with the life-saving
service. The men engaged in it have
always had friends at court. surely,
and so far as known they have no en-
emies. Repeatedly have they demon
strated by the courageous sacrifices
which they have made that they are
deserving.
