PIONEER OF WIRELESS DEAD.
John Walker Williams Butt the
First Telegraph Line In the World.

lo"DOS, Jan. 23.-There passed away
last week at kingston-on-Thames at the
advanced uge of sc. the last surviving
p!oneer Of the telegraphs OF the world.
John Walker Williams. who was credited
with having built the first telegraph line
III the world
Williams devoted more than three
score Years of his life to telegraph work
and an account OF his researches In the
region OF wireless telegraphy when only
10 years old was published SO long ago
as March. 1879. In the Mining Journal
In the course Of his experiments ut that
time Williams had obtained actual sig
mails between lengths of elevated wire
about la0 feet apart which led him TO
draw attention TO a principle upon which
Geographic communication may be OBJ
'a'H"d between England and France with
cut wires"
This is probably the earliest recorded
prophecy as to the possibilities of wireless
te@graphy based upon actual facts. A
few Years later Williams took out two
patents, one for improvements in electric
Wlerraphs and the other for improve
m~nts In obtaining power by electro-mag-
ne'lsm, With these patents he went &c
INC United States and became the assis'
tant OF Henry O'Reilly Of New York
pRellly had n concession from the holders
o' the Morse patents for the erection Of
'e!esraphs at n royalty mile. Williams
and O'Reilly disagreed and the former
returned to Europe. Later no visited I'M
ohted States again on two occasions.

CoNsTANrINoPLE, Jan. lS.-One OF the
first acts of Enver hey. who was made
Enver Pasha Oh becoming Minister of
War recently. was to force into retirement
the famous defender of Adrlanop!c, Shukri
Pasha, whose name stands out above any
other In the Balkan wars. Shuhri, 4 will
be remembered. held out against the com
bined Bulgarian ana Servian forces at
Adrianople for about five months. until
his soldiers were SO emaCiated by famine
and Illness that further resistance would
be n useless waste of life. The Turks had
mighty few heroes IN the war. but OF them
Shukr! Pasha VAS a hero OF the first
water.
one Of the principal causes of the dis
grace of Shukri Pasha, 1; Is said. was his
sympathy for France. The defender OF
Adrianoplc. IN fact, began his military
training In French school. About 1860
at the request of the Sultan. about twenty
young men from the best Turkish families
were admitted az the Prytanee M!l!taire OF
La FIeche, In the Sarthe Department
where they remained three years.
Ten years later at the outbreak of the
Tranco-Prussian war. Shukri Pasha and
fourteen Of his compatriots presented
themselves AZ the French Consulate here
and asked to be enrolled under the French
flag. by some unexplainable indifference
they never even received reply to the!i
request.

PARIS, Jan. 3l.--The possibility OF the

ton from their inconprehensible torpor.
A very competent authority who Is neither

that his name was not used. He said
"Jf the value OF the collection was

LONDON, Jan. 31.---Sir George Paish.
editor of the Statist and a financial au-
thority. says in an interview that the boom
In stock values Is one OF the chief reasons
for the great increase in the gold reserve.
as bankers are coming with a diminished

With trade tending TO decline It Is ex-
pected that money will remain here
throughout tho year. People are buying
with much greater confidence in the ex-
pectation of n continuance of easier money
for long period.
Sir George says that 80 far as the bank
ing situation goes tho outlook is very
bright This IL due in tho main TO the
great accumulation OF gold. which arises
from the fact that tho output OF new gold
is very large. amounting to nearly $780,
00O, 900 year. For the time being there
is little demand for gold and therefore II
will remain In the international market.
With an excess of banking investment
