2 OVER THE ATLANTIC An Astonishing Feat Performed by Marconi. SIGNALS ACROSS THE OCEAN Italian Discoverer, in Newfoundland, Receiver Communications From ISnitl&ad. St. John's N. P., Dec. 16.—Signor Mar- coni announce* the most wonderful scien- tific discovery of modern times in stat- ing that he had received electric signals across the Atlantic ocean from his sta- tion in Cornwall; England. He explains that before leaving England . he made plans for accomplishing this re- sult, for while his primary object was to communicate with ocean liners in mid- ocean, he hoped also to succeed in at- taining the wonderful achievement of wireless telegraphy across the Atlantic. Signor Marconi's station in Cornwall is most powerful. He possesses an electric force, generated there, a hundred times greater than at his ordinary stations. Before he left England he arranged ' that the electrician in charge of the station, which is located at Poldhouse, should be- gin sending signals daily after a certain date which Siguor Marconi would cable . him after having perfected his arrange- ments here. Signor Marconi arrived here a week ago Friday, selected signal hill, at the entrance to the harbor, as an ex- periment station, and moved his equip- ment there. Last Monday he cabled to the Poldhouse station to begin sending signals at 3 p. m. daily and to continue • then until 6 p. m., these hours being re- spectively 11:80 a. m. to 2:30 p. m., St. Johns time. During these hours Wednesday Signor Marconi elevated a kite with an aerial wire, by means of which signals are sent or received. He remained at the recorder attached to his receiving aparatus and to his profound satisfaction signals were re- ceived by him at intervals, according to the program arranged previously with the operator at Poldhouse. Natnre of the Signals. These signals consisted of repeating at intervals the letter S, which in Marconi's code is made by three dots or quick strokes. This signal was repeated so fre- quently and so in accordance with the detailed plan arranged to provide safe- guards against possibility of mistake that Signor Marconi was satined that it was a genuine transmission from England. Again on Thursday, during the tame hours, the kite was elevated and the same signals were renewed. This made the as- surance so complete that Marconi cabled to his principal in England and also in- formed the governor of Newfoundland, Sir Cavendish Boyle, who apprised the Eng'- lisb. cabinet of the success of the experi- ments. Signor Marconi, though satisfied of the genuineness of the signals, and that he has succeeded in his attempts in estab- lishing communication across the Atlantic without the use of wires, emphasizes the fact that the system is yet only in an em- bryonic stage, and that the possibility of its ultimate development is demonstrated by the success of the present experiments with Incomplete and imperfect apparatus, us the signals can osly be received by the most sensitively adjusted apparatus, and Signor Marconi is working under great difficulties, owing to the conditions pre- vailing here. The Cornwall coast is 1,700 miles from St. Johns. Signor Marconi will return to England this week and conduct the experiments from Poldhouse himself. He explains that the greater electrical power there will enable him to send more effective signals. He will undertake this work himself, leaving assistants here to erect a mast and receive the signals as he forwards them. EARTH'S CURVATURE Prof. J'lipin Names Valuable Point in Marconi's Feat. New York, Dec. 16.—M. I. Pupin, pro- fessor of, electrical mechanics at Colum- bia University, in an interview Bays he fully believes that Marconi succeeded in signalling between the coasts of New Foundland and Cornwall, England, by his ayßtem of wireless telegraphy. The professor said: One point which ia of great value aad In- terest to th 9 scientific world is that Marconi has proved conclusively that the curvature of the earth is no obstacle to the system of wireless telegraphy. It still remains to be proved, however, that heavy banks of fog, low banging clouds and heavy showers along and in the path of the- transmitted wava will not entirely obstruct Its progress. The pre- sumption generally is that they will, as ex- periments thua far have proved. Atmospheric conditions have also much to do with, and strongly affect ttie electric wava. Orange, N. J. t Dec. 16.—The report that Marconi had received a wireless message from England is discredited by Thomas A Edison. Mr. Edison said that while he did •not cast any aspersions upon Signor Marcoui, yet he doubted the reliability of the pub- lished reports. Ediiton Doubt*. Steamers In Communication. , New York, Dec. 16.—The Cunarder Etruria, which has just arrived here, was In communi- cation for more than five hours in midocean •with her Bister ship, the Umbria. Long be- fore either ship sighted the other, their com- manders were conversing by the Marconi wireless system. The position of each ship was known to the other hours before their mala trucks showed above the horizon. When they were fully 100 miles apart the receiver on the Etruria began to click warningly The operator replied and then word Umbria was slowly spelled out on the Etruria instrument Then followed the Umbria'a location. The Etruria replied, giving her location. The I mbria sent-her number of passengers the fact that all was well and the latest news from New York. The Etruria sent recent news. OiuinuuN li; norhlire. London, Dec. 16.—The officials at Poldhu refuse to confirm or deny the truth of the reports from St. Johns that messages had been received there from Cornwall by wire- less telegraphy. They profess complete igno- rance of the success or failure or the experi- ments. HANNA VS. FORAKER Reported an Attempt Will Be Made to Adjust Differences. Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 16.—Much inter- est is taken in the expected trip of George B. Cox and other republican leaders to Washington this week. Owing to the contest between the friends of Senator Foraker and of Senator Hanna over the organization of the legislature, there is an unusual agitation all over the state. It Is reported that there may be an- other attempt at compromise by a con- « ference in Washington before the repub- lican caucuses are held at Columbus two weeks from next Saturday. The Hanna men claim the Foraker peo- ple proceeded after the election to form slates for the organization of both branches of the legislature with ulterior views, notably that of the defeat of Senator Hanna two years hence. About two weeks ago they broke out Into open conflict and now there are opposing tick- eta composed of Foraker and Hanna men. Humors They take possession of the body, and are Lords of Misrule. They are attended by pimples, boils, the itching tetter, salt rheum, and other cu- taneous eruptions; by feelings of weakness, languor, general debility and what not. They cause more suffering than anything else. Health, Strength, Peace and Pleasure require their expulsion, and this is posi- tively effected, according to thousands of grateful testimonials, by Hood's Sarsaparilla Which radically and permanently drives them oat and builds up the whole system. BOERS LOSE HOPE At Any Rate, British Reports Are to This Effect. BURGHERS MOVE TO NORTHEAST Discontent Reported Rife Among the Boer* of the 1,a«.«. ri> Transvaul. Pretoria, Dec' 16.—The recent British successes occur opportunely, at a moment when the Boers are showing signs of dis- content with the life on commando, but the British, instead of congratulating themselves, ought to put forth further efforts on a bigger scale. Since 800 Boers were killed north of Bethel under General Piet Viljoen, only two commandoes of a hundred men each remain In the neigh- borhood. The rest, including Viljoeu, have gone to the northeast, toward the Delagoa railway line. There seems no reason to doubt that Acting President Schalk-Burger and the "oßer government officials" have crossed the line north. After addressing a lurge meeting near Carolina, ai which he told the burghers that they must be steadfast, as foreign intervention was certain be- fore long, Schalk-Burger seems to have decided that the country north of the Delagoa railway line was more attractive than the high veldt, where the British columns are hustling the .Boers Inces- santly. He probably is now in the neigh- borhood of Pilgrims Rest, where some 400 Boers have settled for the summer. Piet Viljoen is the leading spirit among the Boers in the eastern Transvaal. After General Botha had been busy encourag- ing the burghers with tales of the with- drawal o-f British troops and of Boer suc- cesses in Cape Colony, his (Viljoen's) de- feat by General Bruce-Hamilton should materially increase the discontent which is very rife among the Boers in these dis- tricts. London, Dec. 16.—Eloff, Mr. Kruger's grandson, has sailed from Holland for Lourenzo Marquez, with intent to exam- ine the military situation in South Africa and, if it should be found advisable, to sue for peace on the broad lines of auton- omy under the British flag, similar to that enjoyed by Canada. SAID TO BE LOGAN Alleged. Montana. Train Robber Cap- tared in Tennessee. Knoxville, Term., Dec. 16.—A man who the police say is the one who shot two Knoxville policemen Thursday night, and who they first thought was Harry Long- baugh, but now believe is Harry Logan, alleged to have been concerned In the Montana train robbery, was captured with a companion last night, one mile from Jefferson City, Term., twenty miles from Knoxville. The escape of the man that shot the policeman was followed by the discovery of a flood of unsigned 20 Montana bank notes, and yesterday, on the person of the men arrested, was found over five thousand dollars of the stolen bills. A. B. Carey, a Jefferson City mer- chant, and four other men first caught a man who gives his name as John Drees of Louisville, Ky. The other one was found in a patch of woods one mile away. He gave his name as Wilson. Both men were brought here. Wilson fills Logan's description precisely, except he is now clean shaven instead of wearing a full beard. On his head are scars which the local officers say were made by the po- licemen's clubs. He refuses to talk, says he has no name and does not know how he received the scare on his head. Drees claims to be a molder by trade. May Sue for Peace. WAR CLOUDS VANISHING Belief That the Argentine-Chilean Danger Point la Panned. Valpariso, Dec. 16.—1n her latest reply ,to the Argentine proposal for the settle- ment of the dispute Chile endeavors to firmly establish the rights of both coun- tries and evade future controversies. Ar- gentina's minister, Senor Portela, ex- presses the opinion that all danger has passed and the same belief is entertained in official circles. Buenos Aires, Dec. 16. —The directors aid managers of English banks and finan- cial companies here have wired to London to urge the mediation of King Edward, who is the arbitrator of the boundary question.. The governor of Mendoza has sant word that two Germans were detected making surveys near Puenta Del Inca. V- -1s said that they are officers of the Chilean army. The government has instructed the governor to send them off to Chile or bring them to Mendoza. CLASS OF NINE Thirty-third Degree Work to Be Performed at Farg-o. Special to The Journal. Fargo, N. D., Dec. 16.—There will be a meeting in Fargo, Jan. 13 that will be of more than ordinary interest to the Ma- sonic fraternity of the northwest. It will be the conferring of the thirty-third degree on a class of nine, recently elect- ed at the biennial meeting of the Scottish Rite at Washington. Charles E.

The shorter creed makes no change in theology of the church, but seeks to make plain the faith held by the church in those points that have been criticized and at- tacked. So far as it was possible to do so this statement was made in the lan- guage of the Scriptures. When the com- mittee meets in February it will finally pass all these subjects for presentation to the general assembly at its session the May following. FAILURE AT CLINTON i Department Store Proprietor Sched- ules Liabilities of 943,776. Special to The Journal. Clinton, lowa, Dec. 16.—Max Bernsten, who came here a year ago from Marion, Ind., and opened a department store, has filed a petition in bankruptcy. His assets are $52,907, and liabilities $43,776. Inabili- ty to turn the goods into cash caused the embarrassment. Bernsten had been in business in Marion for many years. NORTHWEST WEDDINGS.

WORST FLOOD FOR MANY YEARS Wat-iii Weather and Rains, Followed by HiKli Wind. Do Their Work. Kmw YorkSun Somolmt Servioa New York, Dec. 16.—The entire eastern section of the country is under water, and one of the worst Hoods in years pre- vails. The floods extend from Pennsyl- vania and Western New York south into the Virginias and Maryland, and to the eastward through Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and the lower part of New England. Damage to the extent of mil- lions of doljara has been done, but thus far few lives have been reported lost. Warm weather and rain, followed by high winds, resulted in fearful damage. On Saturday the snows in the northern sections of New York thawed rapidly, causing the rivers and creeks to rise and the valleys were inundated. Heavy rain followed during the night, accompanied by winds of great velocity. Trains were blockaded for many hours, landslides were frequent, and in the lowlands and valleys hundreds of dwellings'were flood- ed, while the damage to farm lands and buildings is very great. In and around New York city the wind reached a ve- locity of forty-eight miles an hour, but beyond minor incidents no great damage is reported so far to property on land or shipping. Many towns in the interior ; of the state a"re inundated. At Ithaca the damage is estimated at $200,000. The flood was the most disas- trous experienced since 1857. The nearby creeka became raging torrents by raid- night. A dwelling house was swept away, and no trace of it could be found. The power and lighting plant was washed out and two trolley cars swallowed up In the flood. All street car traffic is suspended, and the city is in darkness. Syracuse Waverly, Binghamton, Oneida, Troy, Au- burn, Rome and other towns report great damage. Traffic of all kinds is prac- tically suspended. Considerable damage has been done throughout northern New York by the ex- tremely high wind, which prevailed for twenty-four hours, reaching the velocity of a tornado. The warm weather Satur- day sent the enow out of the Adirondacks like magic any many houses on the lower levels are flooded. Tfew England and Pennsylvania. In New England the floods are not as great as they are in New York, but much damage has been done. Reports from Pittsburg, Allentown, Susquehanna, Bas- ton and other points in Pennsylvania re- port one of the most destructive flooda for nearly forty years. Traction company powerhouses are flooded, no trolley cars have been run at many points since 10 o'clock this morning, and many towns are in darkness. Trestles on a number of roads have been washed away and rail- road traffic Is suspended. The storm was accompanied by a high wind, which at a number of points wrecked buildings. Many towns report losses of from $50 000 to $200,000. ' The havoc in the coal region Is enor- mous, and the loss to railroad and mining companies will amount to millions of dol- lars. In the Schuylkill valley, forty-eight mines were flooded, and in the Lehigb and Lackawanna regions the destruction is equally great. Hundreds of mules were drowned in the collieries, and It will be weeks before many of the mines can re- sume operations. In some sections the water reached the second stories of dwellings, and the town of Westmore, near Wilkesbarre, Is sub- merged. Many residents have left their homes In boats. Similar conditions exist along the Juniata river, farmers being compelled by the steadily rising water to abandon their homes. The flood was ren- dered more disastrous by the melting of the snow on the mountain sides. The storm broke with great severity Saturday, after the rain had been falling incessant- ly for several days. niVKRS FALLING Portions of Pittsbnrgr and Allegheny : Suffer Severely. ' ' Pittsburg, Dec. 16.—The crest of the flood and the lowest . point touched this winter by the mercury were both regis- tered at the same hour, 8 a. m., when the Smithfleld street bridge marks showed 25 feet 8 inches of water in the Monbnga- hela river, and the government ther- mometer indicated 5 degrees above zero. The rivers are now falling here and at the head waters and the temperature is stead- ily rising. Only the sudden drop in the temperature averted a disastrous inunda- tion. As it was the lower parts of the | Point district and Duquesne way and low- lands along the Monongahela' river, South Side, were submerged. In Allegheny the river front was entirely under water. The cellars in many houses were flooded and people were compelled to move. The damage in the two cities probably will reach $60,000. In addition to this many mills and factories along both rivers were i forced to close down temporarily and thousands of men and women will be out of work. FRESH COLD WAVE Subzero Temperature Lets Up Only for a Firmer Grip. Chicago, Dec. 16.— Southwest winds have modified the extreme cold throughout the west and northwest, the official ther- mometers shortly before noon registering 3 degrees above zero at Chicago, 20 at Kansas City .and zero at Omaha. The official forecaster at Chicago predicts a rise of 10 degrees to-night, attended by snow, but another cold wave is develop- ing in the northwest that will send the mercury below zero by Tuesday night. South Getting Nipped. Atlanta. Ga., Dec. 16.—The lowest tempera- ture recorded last night broke all records for i December. In Atlanta there were two deaths ' attributed to cold. .The temperature at 4 o'clock this morning was 9 above zero. Freez- ing temperatures were reported this mor- ning in northern Florida, as far south'as Jacksonville, and from 6 to 8 degrees below freezing in Southern Alabama, Georgia and i Louisiana. -" .::'".': \u25a0'\u25a0\u25a0': v V! * ;. :; Damage Half n Million. ?.

CHASE GIVES TERMS Proposition to Towns on Proposed } Mankato-St. Cloud Trolley. A BONUS OF $100,000 IS ASKED In Addition, Land fur Station*, Pow- erliouses and the t suui Right of Way. Hutchinson, Minn., Dec. 16.— W. H. Chase, who is promoting an electric rail- way line from Mankato to St. Cloud by the way of Hutchinson, has made a trip over the prepared route and in a com- munication from Sioux Falls, his present headquarters, says he was highly pleased with the country and the reception every- where given his proposition. The coun- try, he says, is probably the garden of Minnesota, and the line can»be construct- ed on easy grades. He contends that the freight traffic would make the road a pay- ing one from the start. Continuing h<j says: I shall take the matter up with my eastern associates, a copy of this letter going to them, and shall urgently recommend that the push the lint through to an early com- pletion, provided the people from Maukato to St. Cloud show interest sufficient to warrant us in making the necessary invest- ment. Upon another sheet I have Indicated what would be asked of the towns and cities along the line. This matter should be ar- ranged for immediately, 'so that we may know just what we can depend upon. There is also a preliminary expense which must be arranged for by your people, as follows: Survey ?;J,OdO Engraving (steel) and printing bonds... 2,500 Engraving and printing stock 1,500 Prospectus 1,000 Incidentals ...* 2,000 Totstl $12,000 Bonus—How Divided. The company should be incorporated at once for two million, with power to increase the capital. As soon as incorporated, officer the company among yourselves', except that I will furnish three directors in case you have five; four in case you have seven, and my bind people will insist that I be made vice president and general manager of the com- pany. The stock should be equal to the amount of the bond issue; bonds to be issued from time to time ae' the road is built. The bonus of $109,000 that I hare asked along the route can be taken by private.subscrip- tion for stock, say at 50 cents, $200,000, pay- able only as road is built, equipped and operated from point to point, say $10,000 pro rate foe each ten miles built. You can do this, or you can have bonuses voted by your towns and cities, just as you prefer. If the latter, it strikes me that the following would be a fair basis: Mankata $25,000 New Sweden 7,500 Gaylord 10,000 New Auburn 7,500 Hutcbinson 15,000 Dassel 5,000 Kimball Prairie 5,000 St. Cloud 25,000 Total $100,000 I would suggest that you take this matter up with your people at once and let me know the result. If they meet the reqiureemnts I promise to build for them a first-class line capable of handling both passenger and freight traffic, the passenger service to be not less rapid than your steam lines, the fare to be from one-fourth to one-half less; freight rates In proportion. You will notice that I have distinctly speci- fied that no charges are to be made until work is done. This holds' good in reference to everything except the matter of printing and engraving and prospectus and inci- dentals, but in that matter the company will Itself have the handling of those funds. I make no charges for my necessary work and expenses in placing bonds and dealing with the contractors, in purchasing supplies,build- ing material, etc. There will be Of neces- sity three power houses on the line and pos- sibly four. Franchises and Lands. In case the line should be built we should require the following from the towus along the line: Mankato—City franchise, both for right-of- way to our terminals in the city and for the construction of"a-local street car line. Man- kato should also furnish the right-of-way to Oshawa in fee simple, sixty feet; also site for power house, switches, car sheds, etc., twenty acres, either in the suburbs or im- mediately outside of the city, but contiguous to the proposed line. New Sweden—Right-of-way sixty feet fee- simple, Oshawa to Gaylord, two acres for station at Onhawa and two acres for station at New Sweden. Gaylord—Right-of-way to New Auburn, two acres for station, etc. New Auburu—Right-of-way to Hutchinson, two acres for station. Hutchinson—Right-of-way to Kimball Prai- rie, four acres for station and power house, Dat'del—Two acres for station. Kimball Prairie —Two acres for station. St. Cloud —Right of way from Kimball ! Prairie, sixty feet in fee simple, and fran- chise to terminals through the city, together with twenty acres for power house, in the suburbs or without city limits, but contiguous t oproposed line. This to be in addition to proposed bonus suggested herein. Chief Whlteboy Found. | Special to The Journal. La Crosse, Wis., Dec. 16.—Chief Whiteboy of the Winnebago tribe of Indians, whose mysterious disappearance caused much com- -1 ment some time ago, has been found In Nte- braska. He is living on his land in the heart j of the big Indian reservation and with him are his capricious daughter and his faithful squaw. It was thought he had met with foul play. Members of his tribe knew nothing of his whereabouts, and all hopes of ever seeing him alive had been given u;\ Infant Scalded to Death. I Special to The Journal.

THIRTY-NINE HAVE DIED SUALM'OX MOWED DOWN I\DIAXS Scourge 'in Tuinu County' Almost , VVlilinied—Ti-in-ex and Cloth- ; .. j •;.; ... tmt_tO;Be Burned. , Special to The Journal. .Marshalltokn, lowa, Dec. 16.—The small- pox epidemic among Indians on the res- ervation in Tama county is waning and it is now believed the worst is over. There have been thirty-nine deaths, but no new cases have developed in the last week or ten days and the sick are recovering. The authorities were handicapped at the out- break of the- epidemic, as there was no fund available with which to combat the disease. When the situation became so deplorable Indian Commissioner Jones au- thorized the state authorities to take, whatever measures were deemed neces- sary to control the situation, guaranteeing the payment of $25 a day. A hospital was erected, the Indians all vaccinated, and the sick properly cared for, with the result that the disease began to abate! Congressman Cousins of the fifth con- gressional district has interested himself in the matter and will ask for the imme- diate appropriation, as an item in the urgency deficiency bill, of a sum suffi- cient and available for present and all future contingencies of a like nature among the Indians. When the disease shall have ran its course, a thorough "house cleaning" will take place. All the wickiups and tepees of the tribe will be destroyed, together with a large amount of clothing. The In- dian department will make restitution to the Indians by building them new houses i and buying blankets and clothing. BADGER SCHOOLS IN CLOVER They Will Have Over a Million and a Half to Spend. Special to The Journal. Madison, Win., Dec. 16.—The apportion- ment of the school fund income has been completed and certified to the secretary of state. The total, $1,639,625.01, is more than double the apportionment last year, owing to the increased assessment of property which is causing the political opponents of the administration sjo much anxiety, an anxiety not shared by the edu- cators of the state, who see in the in- crease in the apportionment the oppor- tunity to make long needed repairs and other improvements. When the tax commission last winter prepared the bill, which was passed by the legislature, requiring property to be assessed at its real value, it also, realiz- ing the large Increase which would result in the one-mill school tax, prepared a bill which provided that the school tax should not exceed $850,000. This bill was killed in the Benate, and the schools get the benefit. Added to the school tax in the appor- tionment is the interest on trust funds, which amounts this year to over $200,000. The rate of apportionment for each per- son of school age in the state, June 30, 1901, is $2,206. Milwaukee county, the most populous in the state, of course gets the biggest slice, $258,924.83, as compared with $121,761.08 last year. countrT*~phones Farmers of Ames and Kelley Are Building Them. Special to The Journal. Ames, lowa, Dec. 16.—The farmers south of Ames are going to put in tele- phones. Some time ago several near Hux- ley and Slater formed small independent companies, each having about fourteen or sixteen phones. Single lines carrying these fourteen phones were run into the towns and three or four lines were con- nected by switchboards. One line south of Ames runs straight east from Kelley, and it is intended Jo run a line nine miles long from Ames, connecting with the Kelley line. Fourteen farmers and eleven business men of Ames will take phones on this system if it can be put in at a reasonable cost. WOMAN SHOOTS Hita a Tea Company Manager Who Had Discharged Her. Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 16.—Mrs. Lulu W. Hocking shot at B. R. Andrus, mana- ger of a tea company, at his store to-day. Two bullets took effect, one In a hand and the other in a forearm. Neither is seri- ous. Mrs. Hocking, who is 35 years of age, was arrested. She and her husband had both worked for Andrus. It is said both had been discharged.

Her Ambassador Seeks an Extension IT'S UP TO ROBLIN Temperance Men Clamor for Pro- hibition in Manitoba. OTHER SIDE ALSO DETERMINED A Plebiscite of the Province on the Troublenoine Issue May Be -Ordered. '.\u25a0., ihi ' Special to The Journal. Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 16.—The prohi- bition question is still in a slumbering state. A rumor gained currency to the effect that Colin H. Campbell, attorney general, had submitted his resignation to the premier, but this has been, in a manner, denied. Campbell is the temper- ance man in the cabinet, and if prohibi- tion does not come, as the temperance people expect, resignation would seem to be the only course open to .this minister. Premier Roblin spoke at a banquet given in honor of Nat Boyd, M. P., at Holland, Man., and while he went into a detailed criticism of the resolution passed at the liberal convention, held here last Wednes- day and Thursday,, he did not refer to the prohibition question, which is uppermost in the minds of the people. Roblin's posi- tion is looked upon as an unenviable one by both his political friends arid enemies. If he introduces prohibition he will set the liquor interests against him, and the experience of ex-Premier Hugh J. Mac- donald will cause him .to think twice be- fore he takes such a step. It will be remembered that Macdonald, who was one of the most popular, if not the most popular politician Manitoba ever produced, was simply "snowed under" after the passing of his liquor act, when he endeavored to win the Brandon seat for the dominion house. The liquor in- terests are solid and the temperance ranks are not. The latter are even now split on the question of prohibition. It is understood tha.t Roblin has been advised by professed prohibitionists to take a plebiscite of the province, making the distinct declaration that if the people want prohibition they must vote for it, and that a majority of the electors, not of the voters who poll their votes, must de- clare for the act before it can be brought- into force. This would appear to be Rob- lin's way out of a difficult situation. GRANT COUim SHRIEVALTY \V. B. Caldwell Elected From a. Field of Five Candidates. Special to The Journal.

COULDN'T MAKE A CASE Hanson Murder Trial at Grand Rap- id* Came to an Abrupt Und. Special, to The Journal. Grand Rapids, Minn., (Dec. 16.—The state failed to get to the jury in the case of Andrew Hanson, on trial for the killing of his wife last September. There was evidence to show the fact of death, and a motive was found for the homicide, but it was impossible to make much progress beyond this point. It was \u25a0 shown that Hansen, on the day of the killing, had been overtaken while on his way from Deer lake to the Rapids and that he had asked a rid© from the driver of the vehi- cle, saying his partner had been shot. Later, and before Grand Rapids was reached, he told the driver that it was his wife and not his partner who had been killed. But even at that time the claim was made that he shooting was accidental. There was thus nothing in the state's case to establish the death as the result of intent rather then accident. Senator C. C. McCarthy appeared for the defendant. A motion was made to dismiss at the close of the state's case, and after some animated argument wa6 granted by Judge MeClenahan.

OVER THE ATLANTICAn Astonishing Feat Performed by

Marconi.

SIGNALS ACROSS THE OCEAN

Italian Discoverer, in Newfoundland,

Receiver CommunicationsFrom ISnitl&ad.

St. John's N. P., Dec. 16.—Signor Mar-coni announce* the most wonderful scien-tific discovery of modern times in stat-ing that he had received electric signalsacross the Atlantic ocean from his sta-tion in Cornwall; England.

He explains that before leaving England. he made plans for accomplishing this re-sult, for while his primary object was tocommunicate with ocean liners in mid-ocean, he hoped also to succeed in at-taining the wonderful achievement ofwireless telegraphy across the Atlantic.Signor Marconi's station in Cornwall ismost powerful. He possesses an electricforce, generated there, a hundred timesgreater than at his ordinary stations.Before he left England he arranged 'thatthe electrician in charge of the station,which is located at Poldhouse, should be-gin sending signals daily after a certaindate which Siguor Marconi would cable. him after having perfected his arrange-ments here. Signor Marconi arrived herea week ago Friday, selected signal hill,at the entrance to the harbor, as an ex-periment station, and moved his equip-ment there. Last Monday he cabled tothe Poldhouse station to begin sendingsignals at 3 p. m. daily and to continue

• then until 6 p. m., these hours being re-spectively 11:80 a. m. to 2:30 p. m., St.Johns time.

During these hours Wednesday SignorMarconi elevated a kite with an aerialwire, by means of which signals are sent

or received. He remained at the recorderattached to his receiving aparatus and tohis profound satisfaction signals were re-ceived by him at intervals, according tothe program arranged previously with theoperator at Poldhouse.

Natnre of the Signals.

These signals consisted of repeating atintervals the letter S, which in Marconi'scode is made by three dots or quickstrokes. This signal was repeated so fre-quently and so in accordance with thedetailed plan arranged to provide safe-guards against possibility of mistake thatSignor Marconi was satined that it wasa genuine transmission from England.Again on Thursday, during the tamehours, the kite was elevated and the samesignals were renewed. This made the as-surance so complete that Marconi cabledto his principal in England and also in-formed the governor of Newfoundland, SirCavendish Boyle, who apprised the Eng'-lisb. cabinet of the success of the experi-ments.

Signor Marconi, though satisfied of thegenuineness of the signals, and that hehas succeeded in his attempts in estab-lishing communication across the Atlanticwithout the use of wires, emphasizes thefact that the system is yet only in an em-bryonic stage, and that the possibility ofits ultimate development is demonstratedby the success of the present experimentswith Incomplete and imperfect apparatus,us the signals can osly be received by themost sensitively adjusted apparatus, andSignor Marconi is working under greatdifficulties, owing to the conditions pre-vailing here. The Cornwall coast is 1,700miles from St. Johns. Signor Marconi willreturn to England this week and conductthe experiments from Poldhouse himself.He explains that the greater electricalpower there will enable him to send moreeffective signals. He will undertake thiswork himself, leaving assistants here toerect a mast and receive the signals ashe forwards them.

EARTH'S CURVATURE

Prof. J'lipin Names Valuable Point inMarconi's Feat.

New York, Dec. 16.—M. I. Pupin, pro-fessor of, electrical mechanics at Colum-bia University, in an interview Bays hefully believes that Marconi succeeded insignalling between the coasts of NewFoundland and Cornwall, England, byhis ayßtem of wireless telegraphy. Theprofessor said:

One point which ia of great value aad In-terest to th 9scientific world is that Marconihas proved conclusively that the curvature ofthe earth is no obstacle to the system ofwireless telegraphy. It still remains to beproved, however, that heavy banks of fog,low banging clouds and heavy showers alongand in the path of the- transmitted wava willnot entirely obstruct Its progress. The pre-sumption generally is that they will, as ex-periments thua far have proved. Atmosphericconditions have also much to do with, andstrongly affect ttie electric wava.

Orange, N. J. t Dec. 16.—The report thatMarconi had received a wireless messagefrom England is discredited by Thomas AEdison. Mr. Edison said that while he did•not cast any aspersions upon Signor Marcoui,yet he doubted the reliability of the pub-lished reports.

Ediiton Doubt*.

Steamers In Communication. ,New York, Dec. 16.—The Cunarder Etruria,

which has just arrived here, was In communi-cation for more than five hours in midocean•with her Bister ship, the Umbria. Long be-fore either ship sighted the other, their com-manders were conversing by the Marconiwireless system. The position of each shipwas known to the other hours before theirmala trucks showed above the horizon. Whenthey were fully 100 miles apart the receiveron the Etruria began to click warningly Theoperator replied and then word Umbria wasslowly spelled out on the Etruria instrumentThen followed the Umbria'a location. TheEtruria replied, giving her location. TheImbria sent-her number of passengers thefact that all was well and the latest newsfrom New York. The Etruria sent recentnews.

OiuinuuN li;norhlire.

London, Dec. 16.—The officials at Poldhurefuse to confirm or deny the truth of thereports from St. Johns that messages hadbeen received there from Cornwall by wire-less telegraphy. They profess complete igno-rance of the success or failure or the experi-ments.

HANNA VS. FORAKERReported an Attempt Will Be Made

to Adjust Differences.Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 16.—Much inter-

est is taken in the expected trip of GeorgeB. Cox and other republican leaders toWashington this week. Owing to thecontest between the friends of SenatorForaker and of Senator Hanna over theorganization of the legislature, there is anunusual agitation all over the state.

It Is reported that there may be an-other attempt at compromise by a con-

« ference in Washington before the repub-lican caucuses are held at Columbus twoweeks from next Saturday.

The Hanna men claim the Foraker peo-ple proceeded after the election to formslates for the organization of bothbranches of the legislature with ulteriorviews, notably that of the defeat ofSenator Hanna two years hence. Abouttwo weeks ago they broke out Into openconflict and now there are opposing tick-eta composed of Foraker and Hanna men.

HumorsThey take possession of the body, and

are Lords of Misrule.They are attended by pimples, boils, the

itching tetter, salt rheum, and other cu-taneous eruptions; by feelings of weakness,languor, general debility and what not.

They cause more suffering than anythingelse.

Health, Strength, Peace and Pleasurerequire their expulsion, and this is posi-tively effected, according to thousands ofgrateful testimonials, by

Hood's SarsaparillaWhich radically and permanently drivesthem oat and builds up the whole system.

BOERS LOSE HOPEAt Any Rate, British Reports Are to

This Effect.

BURGHERS MOVE TO NORTHEAST

Discontent Reported Rife Among theBoer* of the 1,a«.«. ri>

Transvaul.

Pretoria, Dec' 16.—The recent Britishsuccesses occur opportunely, at a momentwhen the Boers are showing signs of dis-content with the life on commando, butthe British, instead of congratulatingthemselves, ought to put forth furtherefforts on a bigger scale. Since 800 Boerswere killed north of Bethel under GeneralPiet Viljoen, only two commandoes of ahundred men each remain In the neigh-borhood. The rest, including Viljoeu,have gone to the northeast, toward theDelagoa railway line.

There seems no reason to doubt thatActing President Schalk-Burger and the"oßer government officials" have crossedthe line north. After addressing a lurgemeeting near Carolina, ai which he toldthe burghers that they must be steadfast,as foreign intervention was certain be-fore long, Schalk-Burger seems to havedecided that the country north of theDelagoa railway line was more attractivethan the high veldt, where the Britishcolumns are hustling the .Boers Inces-santly. He probably is now in the neigh-borhood of Pilgrims Rest, where some400 Boers have settled for the summer.

Piet Viljoen is the leading spirit amongthe Boers in the eastern Transvaal. AfterGeneral Botha had been busy encourag-ing the burghers with tales of the with-drawal o-f British troops and of Boer suc-cesses in Cape Colony, his (Viljoen's) de-feat by General Bruce-Hamilton shouldmaterially increase the discontent whichis very rife among the Boers in these dis-tricts.

London, Dec. 16.—Eloff, Mr. Kruger'sgrandson, has sailed from Holland forLourenzo Marquez, with intent to exam-ine the military situation in South Africaand, if it should be found advisable, tosue for peace on the broad lines of auton-omy under the British flag, similar tothat enjoyed by Canada.

SAID TO BE LOGANAlleged. Montana. Train Robber Cap-

tared in Tennessee.Knoxville, Term., Dec. 16.—A man who

the police say is the one who shot twoKnoxville policemen Thursday night, andwho they first thought was Harry Long-baugh, but now believe is Harry Logan,alleged to have been concerned In theMontana train robbery, was captured

with a companion last night, one milefrom Jefferson City, Term., twenty milesfrom Knoxville. The escape of the manthat shot the policeman was followed bythe discovery of a flood of unsigned 20Montana bank notes, and yesterday, onthe person of the men arrested, was foundover five thousand dollars of the stolenbills. A. B. Carey, a Jefferson City mer-chant, and four other men first caughta man who gives his name as John Dreesof Louisville, Ky. The other one wasfound in a patch of woods one mile away.He gave his name as Wilson. Both menwere brought here. Wilson fills Logan'sdescription precisely, except he is nowclean shaven instead of wearing a fullbeard. On his head are scars which thelocal officers say were made by the po-licemen's clubs. He refuses to talk, sayshe has no name and does not know howhe received the scare on his head. Dreesclaims to be a molder by trade.

May Sue for Peace.

Ar-gentina's minister, Senor Portela, ex-presses the opinion that all danger haspassed and the same belief is entertainedin official circles.

Buenos Aires, Dec. 16.—The directorsaid managers of English banks and finan-cial companies here have wired to Londonto urge the mediation of King Edward,who is the arbitrator of the boundaryquestion.. The governor of Mendoza hassant word that two Germans were detectedmaking surveys near Puenta Del Inca. V--1s said that they are officers of the Chileanarmy.

Its work was completed :in : a,\ten,&tiveform, including a shorter creed for use inthe churches in connection with the ordi-nation of ministers and ruling elders; adeclaratory statement in the vernacularof the day for popular use informing thepublic generally of the faith held by thechurch, and the new articles are to be add-eft to the Westminster confession re-lating to the love of God for all men, thework of the Holy Spirit and missions.

The shorter creed makes no change intheology of the church, but seeks to makeplain the faith held by the church in thosepoints that have been criticized and at-tacked. So far as it was possible to doso this statement was made in the lan-guage of the Scriptures. When the com-mittee meets in February it will finallypass all these subjects for presentation tothe general assembly at its session theMay following.

EAST IS INUNDATEDExtensive Damage Done in AllDi-

rections.

WORST FLOOD FOR MANY YEARS

Wat-iii Weather and Rains, Followedby HiKli Wind. Do Their

Work.

Kmw YorkSun Somolmt ServioaNew York, Dec. 16.—The entire eastern

section of the country is under water,and one of the worst Hoods in years pre-vails. The floods extend from Pennsyl-

vania and Western New York south intothe Virginias and Maryland, and to theeastward through Delaware, Maryland,New Jersey and the lower part of NewEngland. Damage to the extent of mil-lions of doljara has been done, but thusfar few lives have been reported lost.

Warm weather and rain, followed byhigh winds, resulted in fearful damage.On Saturday the snows in the northernsections of New York thawed rapidly,causing the rivers and creeks to rise andthe valleys were inundated. Heavy rainfollowed during the night, accompaniedby winds of great velocity. Trains wereblockaded for many hours, landslideswere frequent, and in the lowlands andvalleys hundreds of dwellings'were flood-ed, while the damage to farm lands andbuildings is very great. In and aroundNew York city the wind reached a ve-locity of forty-eight miles an hour, butbeyond minor incidents no great damageis reported so far to property on land orshipping. Many towns in the interior

; of the state a"re inundated.At Ithaca the damage is estimated at

$200,000. The flood was the most disas-trous experienced since 1857. The nearbycreeka became raging torrents by raid-night. A dwelling house was swept away,and no trace of it could be found. Thepower and lighting plant was washed outand two trolley cars swallowed up In theflood. All street car traffic is suspended,and the city is in darkness. SyracuseWaverly, Binghamton, Oneida, Troy, Au-burn, Rome and other towns report greatdamage. Traffic of all kinds is prac-tically suspended.

Considerable damage has been donethroughout northern New York by the ex-tremely high wind, which prevailed fortwenty-four hours, reaching the velocityof a tornado. The warm weather Satur-day sent the enow out of the Adirondackslike magic any many houses on the lowerlevels are flooded.

Tfew England and Pennsylvania.

In New England the floods are not asgreat as they are in New York, but muchdamage has been done. Reports fromPittsburg, Allentown, Susquehanna, Bas-ton and other points in Pennsylvania re-port one of the most destructive flooda fornearly forty years. Traction companypowerhouses are flooded, no trolley carshave been run at many points since 10o'clock this morning, and many towns arein darkness. Trestles on a number ofroads have been washed away and rail-road traffic Is suspended. The storm wasaccompanied by a high wind, which at anumber of points wrecked buildings.Many towns report losses of from $50 000to $200,000. '

The havoc in the coal region Is enor-mous, and the loss to railroad and miningcompanies will amount to millions of dol-lars. In the Schuylkill valley, forty-eightmines were flooded, and in the Lehigband Lackawanna regions the destructionis equally great. Hundreds of mules weredrowned in the collieries, and It will beweeks before many of the mines can re-sume operations.

In some sections the water reached thesecond stories of dwellings, and the townof Westmore, near Wilkesbarre, Is sub-merged. Many residents have left theirhomes In boats. Similar conditions existalong the Juniata river, farmers beingcompelled by the steadily rising water toabandon their homes. The flood was ren-dered more disastrous by the melting ofthe snow on the mountain sides. Thestorm broke with great severity Saturday,after the rain had been falling incessant-ly for several days.

niVKRS FALLING

Portions of Pittsbnrgr and Allegheny

: Suffer Severely. ' '

Pittsburg, Dec. 16.—The crest of theflood and the lowest . point touched thiswinter by the mercury were both regis-tered at the same hour, 8 a. m., whenthe Smithfleld street bridge marks showed25 feet 8 inches of water in the Monbnga-hela river, and the government ther-mometer indicated 5 degrees above zero.The rivers are now falling here and at thehead waters and the temperature is stead-ily rising.

CHASE GIVES TERMSProposition to Towns on Proposed }

Mankato-St. Cloud Trolley.

A BONUS OF $100,000 IS ASKED

In Addition, Land fur Station*, Pow-erliouses and the t suui

Right of Way.

Hutchinson, Minn., Dec. 16.—W. H.Chase, who is promoting an electric rail-way line from Mankato to St. Cloud bythe way of Hutchinson, has made a tripover the prepared route and in a com-munication from Sioux Falls, his presentheadquarters, says he was highly pleasedwith the country and the reception every-where given his proposition. The coun-try, he says, is probably the garden ofMinnesota, and the line can»be construct-ed on easy grades. He contends that thefreight traffic would make the road a pay-ing one from the start. Continuing h<jsays:I shall take the matter up with my eastern

associates, a copy of this letter going tothem, and shall urgently recommend thatthe push the lint through to an early com-pletion, provided the people from Maukatoto St. Cloud show interest sufficient towarrant us in making the necessary invest-ment. Upon another sheet I have Indicatedwhat would be asked of the towns and citiesalong the line. This matter should be ar-ranged for immediately, 'so that we mayknow just what we can depend upon. Thereis also a preliminary expense which must bearranged for by your people, as follows:Survey ?;J,OdOEngraving (steel) and printing bonds... 2,500Engraving and printing stock 1,500Prospectus 1,000Incidentals ...* 2,000

Totstl $12,000

Bonus—How Divided.The company should be incorporated at once

for two million, with power to increase thecapital. As soon as incorporated, officerthe company among yourselves', except that Iwill furnish three directors in case you havefive; four in case you have seven, and mybind people will insist that I be made vicepresident and general manager of the com-pany. The stock should be equal to theamount of the bond issue; bonds to be issuedfrom time to time ae' the road is built. Thebonus of $109,000 that I hare asked alongthe route can be taken by private.subscrip-tion for stock, say at 50 cents, $200,000, pay-able only as road is built, equipped andoperated from point to point, say $10,000 prorate foe each ten miles built. You can dothis, or you can have bonuses voted by yourtowns and cities, just as you prefer. If thelatter, it strikes me that the following wouldbe a fair basis:Mankata $25,000New Sweden 7,500Gaylord 10,000New Auburn 7,500Hutcbinson 15,000Dassel 5,000Kimball Prairie 5,000St. Cloud 25,000

Total $100,000

I would suggest that you take this matterup with your people at once and let me knowthe result. If they meet the reqiureemnts Ipromise to build for them a first-class linecapable of handling both passenger andfreight traffic, the passenger service to be notless rapid than your steam lines, the fareto be from one-fourth to one-half less; freightrates In proportion.

You will notice that I have distinctly speci-fied that no charges are to be made untilwork is done. This holds' good in referenceto everything except the matter of printingand engraving and prospectus and inci-dentals, but in that matter the company willItself have the handling of those funds. Imake no charges for my necessary work andexpenses in placing bonds and dealing withthe contractors, in purchasing supplies,build-ing material, etc. There will be Of neces-sity three power houses on the line and pos-sibly four.

Franchises and Lands.

In case the line should be built we shouldrequire the following from the towus alongthe line:

Scourge 'in Tuinu County' Almost, VVlilinied—Ti-in-ex and Cloth- ;.. j •;.; ... tmt_tO;Be Burned. ,

Special to The Journal..Marshalltokn, lowa, Dec. 16.—The small-

pox epidemic among Indians on the res-ervation in Tama county is waning and itis now believed the worst is over. Therehave been thirty-nine deaths, but no newcases have developed in the last week orten days and the sick are recovering. Theauthorities were handicapped at the out-

break of the- epidemic, as there was nofund available with which to combat thedisease. When the situation became sodeplorable Indian Commissioner Jones au-thorized the state authorities to take,whatever measures were deemed neces-sary to control the situation, guaranteeingthe payment of $25 a day. A hospital waserected, the Indians all vaccinated, andthe sick properly cared for, with theresult that the disease began to abate!

Congressman Cousins of the fifth con-gressional district has interested himselfin the matter and will ask for the imme-diate appropriation, as an item in theurgency deficiency bill, of a sum suffi-cient and available for present and allfuture contingencies of a like natureamong the Indians.

When the disease shall have ran itscourse, a thorough "house cleaning" willtake place. All the wickiups and tepeesof the tribe will be destroyed, togetherwith a large amount of clothing. The In-dian department will make restitution tothe Indians by building them new houses

i and buying blankets and clothing.

BADGER SCHOOLS IN CLOVERThey Will Have Over a Million and

a Half to Spend.Special to The Journal.

Madison, Win., Dec. 16.—The apportion-ment of the school fund income has beencompleted and certified to the secretaryof state. The total, $1,639,625.01, is morethan double the apportionment last year,owing to the increased assessment ofproperty which is causing the politicalopponents of the administration sjo muchanxiety, an anxiety not shared by the edu-cators of the state, who see in the in-crease in the apportionment the oppor-tunity to make long needed repairs andother improvements.

When the tax commission last winterprepared the bill, which was passed bythe legislature, requiring property to beassessed at its real value, it also, realiz-ing the large Increase which would resultin the one-mill school tax, prepared a billwhich provided that the school tax shouldnot exceed $850,000. This bill was killedin the Benate, and the schools get thebenefit.

Added to the school tax in the appor-tionment is the interest on trust funds,which amounts this year to over $200,000.The rate of apportionment for each per-son of school age in the state, June 30,1901, is $2,206. Milwaukee county, themost populous in the state, of course getsthe biggest slice, $258,924.83, as comparedwith $121,761.08 last year.

OTHER SIDE ALSO DETERMINED

A Plebiscite of the Province on the

Troublenoine Issue May Be

-Ordered. '.\u25a0., ihi '

Special to The Journal.Winnipeg, Man., Dec. 16.—The prohi-

bition question is still in a slumberingstate. A rumor gained currency to theeffect that Colin H. Campbell, attorneygeneral, had submitted his resignationto the premier, but this has been, in amanner, denied. Campbell is the temper-

ance man in the cabinet, and if prohibi-tion does not come, as the temperancepeople expect, resignation would seem tobe the only course open to .this minister.

Premier Roblin spoke at a banquet givenin honor of Nat Boyd, M. P., at Holland,Man., and while he went into a detailedcriticism of the resolution passed at theliberal convention, held here last Wednes-day and Thursday,, he did not refer to theprohibition question, which is uppermostin the minds of the people. Roblin's posi-tion is looked upon as an unenviable oneby both his political friends arid enemies.If he introduces prohibition he will setthe liquor interests against him, and theexperience of ex-Premier Hugh J. Mac-donald will cause him .to think twice be-fore he takes such a step.

It will be remembered that Macdonald,who was one of the most popular, if not

the most popular politician Manitoba everproduced, was simply "snowed under"after the passing of his liquor act, whenhe endeavored to win the Brandon seatfor the dominion house. The liquor in-terests are solid and the temperanceranks are not. The latter are even nowsplit on the question of prohibition.It is understood tha.t Roblin has been

advised by professed prohibitionists to

take a plebiscite of the province, makingthe distinct declaration that if the peoplewant prohibition they must vote for it,and that a majority of the electors, not ofthe voters who poll their votes, must de-clare for the act before it can be brought-into force. This would appear to be Rob-lin's way out of a difficult situation.

COULDN'T MAKE A CASE

Hanson Murder Trial at Grand Rap-

id* Came to an Abrupt Und.

Special, to The Journal.Grand Rapids, Minn., (Dec. 16.—The state

failed to get to the jury in the case ofAndrew Hanson, on trial for the killingof his wife last September. There wasevidence to show the fact of death, and amotive was found for the homicide, but itwas impossible to make much progressbeyond this point. It was \u25a0 shown thatHansen, on the day of the killing, hadbeen overtaken while on his way fromDeer lake to the Rapids and that he hadasked a rid© from the driver of the vehi-cle, saying his partner had been shot.Later, and before Grand Rapids wasreached, he told the driver that it washis wife and not his partner who had beenkilled. But even at that time the claimwas made that he shooting was accidental.There was thus nothing in the state'scase to establish the death as the resultof intent rather then accident.

Senator C. C. McCarthy appeared forthe defendant. A motion was made todismiss at the close of the state's case,and after some animated argument wa6granted by Judge MeClenahan.
