SENSATIONAL RESCUE OF 1os
MADE AT SEA

Yarmouth, N. S., Jan. 15.-The
passengers and crew of the royal
mail packet Cobequid were rescued
last night in response to wireless sig
nails of distress sent out thtrty-six
hours before.
The rescue was effected as, the
CoPequid was being smashed to
pieces on Trinity rock, six miles off
Port Maitland. The steamers West
port and John L. Cam were first to
get boats into the water and were
aided by the government steamer
Lansdowne and the Rappahannock.
There were 108 passengers on the
Cobequid, and though they had been
almost two days exposed to zero
weather and the terror of death at
sea the rescue was so orderly that
the women were lowered into the
boats first, then the men passengers
and last the captain and his crew.
The delay of the rescuers in reach
ing the Cobequid was because the
wireless operator could not tell the
location of the ship and a heavy
vapor caused by the, intense cold on
the water shrouded the vessel, which
was coated with ice.

TELEPHONY.

If perchance there were any who were still in
doubt as to the claim that the world moves they
were probably convinced by the recent tidings
that wireless telephony had been accomplished.
1t was an interesting achievement to which we
intended to direct attention at the time, but by
oversight failed to do so. New York and Phila-
delphia talked without wires a short while ago
the first commercial message III the history of the
country being then effected.
One of the operators in the Marconi station in
Philadelphia, explaining how wireless telephony
is accomplished, said: Sending a wireless mes
sage by voice is like dropping a stone in a still
pool. The message leaves the wires of the instru-
ment in oscillations or waves and travels with
equal force in every direction. When the tele-
graphic sender is used this message is broken into
dots and dashes. That means that the receiving
station gets waves broken into varying lengths,
and these are translated into words. By using
the vocal sender, the words are sent off in waves
IN just the same manner
But it is not intended here to tell in detail how
this new wonder Of electricity is accomplished.
We merely draw attention to the feat as illus
trating the march OF science in. the electrical
sphere where vi doubtedlv there are still concealed
wonders that wIl still further ~astonish mankind.
An obvious objection 70 the use OF wireless tele-
phony for practical purposes is met in advance by
the promoters, for It Is announced By the inyen.

RALEIGH'S GREAT WEEK.

lhTee events, DeSlOeS many others, VIII Hlahe
this a great week in Raleigh. because Raleigh has
been selected as the place where events are to
occur which are Of Statewide Importance, one Of
nationwide importance.
There is to gather in this city on Tuesday,
June the ninth a remnant Of that great host Of
young men who went forth in all the gallantry Of
their sterling young manhood to do battle for the
rights of the South beneath the Stars and Bars.
1t was a gallant company in youth, it is a gallant
company in age, when time has brought silver
locks and faltering footsteps.
But, thank God, it has brought no halt il de
votion to the South, and so it is with hat off that
Raleigh is ready to give welcome and cheer to
the Confederate Veterans who hold their annual
reunion in this city beginning on Tuesday. Raj
eigh is glad to have the old Boys with it, in
deed. it is proud to have them, for it feels hon
ored that they are to walk its streets and be
guests in the homes Of its people.
Nationwide is the interest felt in the unveiing
in Raleigh this week of the Ashley Horne Monu-
ment to the North Carolina Women of the Con-
tederacy. That monument, now in position on
Capitol Square ready for the unveiling on We'd
nesday, is the splendid gift of the late Col Ashley
Horne. When he donated the money, $4,000, for
the monument, the State expected him to be
present when the monument was unveiled, but
the Master called, and that splendid gentleman
was taken from us. 1t had come so that the
people of North Carolina had learned to love
Ashley Horne, Of Clayton, and his memory IS
revered as one of the States truest sons, true in
war, true in peace.
The monument which he gives to the State is a
tribute of the devotion of the Women Of North
Carolina of the days of the War Between the
States. No truer, no nobler women ever lived.
They gave as much to The, Cause as did the men
on the tented field, the men who served while
cannon reared, and when Charge was the com
mand. Long ago North Carolina should have
done honor to the memory of those women who
have gone, to those women Of the sixties who are
yet with US. It was a splendid thing that it
came into the mind, into the heart, of Ashley
Horne, to do this fine thing, to provide the way
for the erection of a monument to the North
Carolina Women of the Confederacy.
And the third event is to be the unwilling of a
portrait of Col. Horne. Most happily, most ap-
propriately, it is the gift Of the North Carolina
Daughters Of the Confederacy to the State of
North Carolina. Col. Homes gift, in enduring
granite and bronze, is a memorial to the women
of North Carolina who served in dark days, and
to those of them who are with us yet. So those
women who are their descendants, do we'll to
honor the memory of that Gentleman of John
ston, whose record is that of a North Caroliniar
who loved his State, who had pride in it's grea'
history. And fttingly the events of the Tenth
of June will close with the presentation of hi
portrait to the State.
In truth, this is to be a great week in Raleigh
great for this city, great for this State.

The New York Herald plays up three repre-
sentative opinions on the administration trust
bills. Representative Carlin, Democrat. saws the
tuate prosperity. Representative Murdoch. Pro
gressive, says the bills do not meet the need COM
pletely, but are a move in the night direction.
Representative Mann, Republican, says the meas
ures are repressive of business. The circumstance
that the bills went through the House bv a prac-
ncahy unanimous vote is in their favor. for II
indicates that there IS a strong popular demand
Tor them. Certainly the Democratic party could
not go back on its promise to do something N
the direction OF the solution Of the trust evil.

NEEDED CHANGES IN DATES.

Former United States Senator Charles 4
Towne, of New York. wants the date OF the ~
sembIng Of Congress changed. If Coneres,
should vote 70 submit 70 the States a constltu-
tionai amendment he said in a recent interview,
changing the date of the assembling OF Congress
and making the term Of a member begin shortly
after his election, instead Of more than a ycar
afterward, it would not be opposed by a single
State"
We suspect that Mr.. Towne is right. The ooun-
try is beginning TO realize that some way must he
found to correct the defect Of the present system
whereby there is a long lapse from the time when
a Congress IS elected to the convening Of that
Congress in regular session.
Mr.. Towne's proposition is that the elections
shall be in September instead Of in November and
that Congress shall assemble in October following
its election in the preceding month. The matter
Of a change of some sort is under consideration
in the present Congress and acton Will come
either now or when Congress reassen3bles IN De
cember.
Congress should meet soon after its election, for
it is then fresh from the people and can better
thirteen months later. With a very much
shorter lapse of time between the election OF a
Congress and its assembling will come a change III
the Presidential inauguration date whereby a more
clement season of the year than March fourth Will
mark the beginning of the Presidential term.

And mediation may result in altering the whole

MUST RAISE OUR STANDARDS.

Since Louisiana's reputation abroad,
for both literacy and sanitation, is af
fected by the lapses of it's negro popu-
lation, would it not be the part of wis
dom to make greater efforts to raise
the standard among negroes in these
respects? The injury is incalculable
that is done by the statistical tables,
which show the states defects, with
out explaining their cause. The only
recourse is therefore to raise the av-
erages of knowledge and hygiene.
The task is stupendous one, par
ticularly as regards the teaching, and
requiring the observance, of sanitation
among negroes, but it must be done.
The greatest obstacle, in the way how
ever, is not the obduracy of the negro,
but the poorly equipped dwellings, that
the white landlord provides.
On the other hand, the latter can
hardly provide more, in return for the
low and precarious scale of rent paid.
These are but few of the many diff
ficulties that beset every phase of the
question, but the necessity, no less ex-
lists, to raise Louisianas standard
among the states or continue to suffer
the consequences.
