Under tbe original system of telegraphy, with a single wire, the speed with which messages could bo sent or tho number of words a minute was limited by the capac ity of the operators in sending and tak ing. If there were no reason why the telegraph lines could not bo multiplied TffVS 4 Dlairrnm of Pollnlt-VIrasr Circuits. P. perforated paper strip: D, drum; I. Induct . anee; M. concave mirror. indefinitely there would be no limit to the number of messages that could be sent In & day or in an hour, for as many differ ent llwo could be used with the instru ments and operators at each end as the desired speed called for. But the erec tion and maintenance of a telegraph line Is an expensive matter. There has been, therefore, a continuous effort to use ono Uno or two for as many messages as possible at the same time. By special arrangement of circuits and inetrumenta In the "duplex" and "quadruplex" sys tems it-is possible to end severed mes sages over the same wires at the same time without confusion, and various de vices have been brought forward from time to time for increasing the number that can be so eent. Speed is gained also by the use of machines for tending and receiving, instead of the hand work ot tho operators. The Hughes printing tele graph does this, and has been very widely used for many years. However, if several machines can be worked at the am time over one Une ther is ctlll further gain. Tho most recent system working on this prin?.ple -s that of Professor Henry A. Rowland. Rowland's Multiplex Printing Tele graph. Little more thiin a year ngo a pubhc test of th'o system wi made between Jtrucy City and Philadelphia. It has not yet gone into commercial use, and all the details have not been made public, but zs.

Note The English translation of this ex ercise will be given the following lesson, which will be onblished next Tuesday. tho main features of the system can be described. The lines can be duplexed In the usual way and beyond this point mult plexing is obtained in a manner that is not new, although It is said that the arrangement for the purpose is particularly efficient and successful. The general method re ferred to Is the use of a revolving com mutator at each end of the line, by means of which the line Is devoted successively for very brief intervals to different seta of instruments. The commutators must evidently synchronize exactly for suc cessful operation; that Is, at the moment that the commutator bruh at the sending end Is on the segment connected with ma chine A. the brush at the receiving end must be In contact with the segment for the corresponding receiving Instrument, A. Otherwise there will be confusion of mes sages or failure to receive. A synchroniz ing arrangement of this nature has been in use in the Delancy system for many years. The Rowland system is peculiar in that the line current employed is alternaUng In character, of a uniform frequency: for ex ample. SO alternations a second. The com mutator brueh is In connection with any one transmitter long enough for the trans mission of 10 complete cycles and the signals consist In the omission from thee 30 cycles of one or more half-wave lengths. By differently combining thesp ombWonp, therefore, a great number of different sig nals may be eent. The signals ,are re ceived by machines so constructed that a given combination causes the printing of a particular letter on a tape or an or dinary letter page. The transmission is by hand, and each transm'tting machine, therefore, require- an operator, each of whom has before- Irm a keyboard with 40 keys. These keys are so interlocked with the 10 contacts which give the 10 complete alternations that the depression of a particular key causes tho omission cf a certain definitely arrangtd aet of half-periods, and consequently tho printing of the correspond'n.g character by th machine at the- receiving end. At the receiving end a double-ended po- PolInU-Vlraer nnd Morse Characters. larlzed relay la actuated by the line cur rent. One armature connects with the ayn chronlzlng apparatus and regulates the driving motor; the other armature con nects through th commutator trtth the local selective relays. There are 10 of these for each combination instrument, so arranged that for each combination of half-wave omissions the typewheel Is caused to print a particular letter. The paper la then moved ahead, all tho relays are released and are ready for the next signal. The Pollalc-Vlrna: System. Thia system, perfected In Austria, la in many respects a contract to the Hol land sytnem. In principle. It 's extremely simple, depending for Its high speed upon the rapidity of act'on and sensitiveness of a diaphragm much like that of a tel ephone. The sIgna!o are transmitted by a ma chine which can be run at & high rate, and before It can be sent the meftmage must be recorded upon a atrip of paper by means of holes punched In It at suit able distances. This strip of prepared paper la then passed very rapidly under two small brushes so connected to batter ies and the line that the contact of one brush sends a current over the line In one direction, the contact of the other brush a current in the other direction. The capacity and inductance of the line find the influence of the natural period of vibration of the receiving diaphragm arc neutralized by the use of properly adjust id conden5ere and '.nductance colls. The receiving Instrument Is cft&ent'al'.y a telephone receiver, and Its diaphragm moves toward the magnet polo or away from it in accordance with the direction of the current Impulses sent over the line. These motions are recorded photograph ically. For this purpose a email concave mirror '.s flexibly connected to the dia phragm and pointed in ouch a manner that a turning movement Is produced which magnifies the diaphragm move ments and causes a small spot of Intense llghtto move back and forth over a strip of sendtlzed paper on a rapidly mov ing drum. The positive line Impulse thus produces an upward deflect'on of the spot of light and a negative impulse pro duces a downward deflection. The first corresponds to the Morsi dash and the necond to the dot. The corrcoondlng character. are shown In the cut. In a test between- New York and Chi cago, the longest distance over which the syrtcm has ben tried, ever 1(00 words a minute were sent, and at Budapest, over a shorter Hn, a speed of 39) wordo a minute has been reached. MINISTERS APPOINTED. CvnnKclicn.1 Association Conference Continues Its Senslona. After the very enthusiastic religious rer.cis of the different churches on Sun day, the Bvangetcal Association Con ference resume a us business tessions yes terday morning at 9 o'clock. Bishop Bow man cail:d for the roll, after which he read a portion of I The?. II, and the con ference enjoyed a very earnest session of prajer. Ihe work of the morning con sisted chiefly of the presentation of the reports of the different committees. Riv. H. E. Horncchuch and Kev. IL Plcrco were elected as conference trus tees. The afternoon passion opened at 3 o'ciock. the bishop leading in devotional service. The boundaries committee re ported and suggested that Mount Scott and Lents be taken from the Memorial mles.on and Lents be added to tbe First English and Mount Scott be added to Emmanuel; that Woodstock be taken from First English and bo added to the Me morial; that Milwaukle German and Eng lish form a mission. The evening preaching service was well attended, the sermon being by the new presiding elder. Rev. J. C Smith. In Ger man. Bishop Bowman preached In the Memorial Church.

U. and the"blty Fed eration of Union united their forces yes torday afternoon. Devotional exercises were conducted by Mm, M. E. Stone. Literature bearing on the suiTrage ques tion and Christian citizensh p was fur nished members for distribution. A motion prevailed to change Flower Mission day from June 9 to May 22 to ac commodate the roses. All Interested in the beautiful work of fending flowers to the sick and afflicted are .nvltcd to send flowers to the Noon Rt. 1074 Third Etreet. on Tuesday morning. May 22. The business of Central Union being dis posed of, Mrs. Rlggd wao called to the chair to pres.de over the deliberations ot the fed-ration, which was called to order to discusn plans for helping the starving ones of India. Several articles bearing on the distress prevailing were read in order to bring the matter before the meeting. Much enthusiasm was aroused by the statement that the Salvatlbn Army in the United States raleed JiO.OM during Its recent week of self-demal. A sketch of the life of Pundlta Ramabai, a native missionary and prcadent of the W. C T. U. of that country, was also read. Mrs. Carrie Sawyer, of Boston, Mass., made a stirring talk on the need of mis sionary effort. A motion prevailed that thlo federation formulate some plan, for sending funds to India. A committee was appointed from each union to formulate plans In their own union to raise funds which shall be sent through tho federation to Pundlta Rama bai, whoro work for the high-caste wid ows of India is so well known. Committees, were also appointed to bring the matter before the missionary socle ties of the varous churches. A fund was started among the women present. Mr. Iiynch and Hin Friends. ASTORIA. May 12.

APPEAL BY SUFFRAGISTS OPEJf ADDRESS ISSUED TO VOTERS OF OREu THE Attention Celled to Fending; Consti tutional AmendmentDemand That It Be Voted for. To the Votero of All Political Parties of the State of Oregon and to You, Sir, Greeting: , The many adherents of the equal suffrage movement. for which a conetliutional amendment Is now pending, havo held their peace for many months, lest they might dmbarraee you in some way concerning the partisan and personal conflicts in which you have been striving with each other for the mastery. But, now that your nominations are all made and your plans adjusted for your various campaigns, wc desire to place be fore you our pica for our own enfran chisement. We feel that you cannot Just ly or honestly deprive us of our voice In the administration of the affairs of the Government, s'nee we are taxed to main tain its laws, to which, equa.ly wiih your selves, we are he"ld amenable. As we pro vide for the Government all in soldiers at the risk ot our liv:0, and, when you call our sons to battle; we bid them God. speed, even though our hearts be break ing, we surely perform duties equal wlh yours In the maintenance of Government. In respectfully demand ng your affirma tive votes upon a question we aro not per mlttrd to dec do ior ourselves, we are not asking for the adoption of any parliain Issue nor of any untried experiment. Directly to the east of us arc four sov ereign states. In which the women are en joying the free use of the ballot. The citizens of Wyoming, the pioneer state of this great movement, have from time to time uur ng the past 30 years an nounced, over tn.lr own rignature through the prers, her Lcgisla.ures, her Governor, Senators, clergymen. Judges, Representatives and chief educators, that good and only good has accrued to the people and the state from the enfranchise ment of women. They have often publicly challenged the anonymotv writcm from other states, who hav mlsr presented the facts, to find two men or women In all Wyoming who will assert, over their own names ard addresses, that equal suffrage has produced any bad rccults It Is need less to say that ho such opponent has yet responded. Governor Campbell, who was In office when the law was passed In ISO sa d. In his mceeage to the Leglskuure two years later: "It is simple Justice to say that the women, entering for the first time upon their new and untried duties, have conducted themselves In every rcepect with a much tact, sound Judgment and good sense as men." Similar test mony has come, unsolicited, from each succeed ing Governor of Wyoming and from all the highest ofllclaVs and educators of both oexes and all parties. The very leading men and women of Colorado, another state where women vote, have Issued circulars, saying: "We be lieve the greatest good to the home, the Siate and the Nation Is best advanced through the operation of woman suffrage. The evils predicted have not come to pass. The benefits claimed for It have been se cured, or are In process of development A very" large proportion of Colorado women have conscientiously accepted their responsibility as cltizenV This state ment was made in 1SD5, In answer to the misstatements of an anonymous "antl," a correspondent of the Eastern press, and was a"gned by the Governor, ex-Governor, Governor-elect, United States Sena tors and ex-Senatore, Representatives and ex-Representatives In Congress, the Chief Justice and Associate Justice of the Su preme Court, the presidents .of colleges and universities, the presidents of woman'a clubo, the heads of educational., religious and philanthropic institutions and by lead ing society women throughout the state. From Idaho, where women have been voters s'nee 1S36, have come to us many tcctimonlals, aleo unsolicited, highly In dorsing the movement, signed by men and women of unimpeachable integrity and standing, among whom are Chief Justice I. N. Sullivan. Associate Justices Hus ton and Quarlos, H. E. McElroy, of the State Normal School; William Baldcrston. editor of the Idaho Statesman, and a great many other prominent men, aa well as the very prominent women who lead in so ciety, education and philanthropy. Everybody knows that Jhe enfranchise ment of the women of all the states Is coming; that It Is inevitable. Oregon. today, is tho only state where an equal suffrage amendment is pending. She, and she alone. Is in a position to lead the van of progress in thlii Important movement In this dawn of the new century. Let her voters do their tVuty by marking their billots "Ted" for tho equal suffrago amendment, and she will go Into Imper ishable history as tho first state of the Pacific Coast to placo the lnslgn'a of liberty upon the brows of the mother.! of her soldiers and stateOTien. By this act of simple Justice you will place Ore gon In a position where she will adver tise her own greatness and thus enhance your prosperity without coat to your selves. It Is related of the poet Whlttler that, upon be'ng asked his opinion of a future rtate of existence, he replied by quoting from an epitaph he had read somewhere: Here He I. Michael Anglerod. Have mercy on my oul. Lord God. As I would do, wer- I Lord God And you were Michael Anclerod. It was the apt significance of this epi taph that appealed to the soions of the Legislature who eubmlttcd the equal suf frage amendment for which we ask your vote. We believe you also will see the point. A word to the wise Is sufficient OREGON STATE EQUAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION. Abigail Scott Dunlway. pre;'dent. Ada Cornish Hertsche. vice-president. Frances E.

Is Speaker Henderson a Civil War veteran? Was he wounded during service? Does he receive a pen sion? If so. how much? These questions are suggested by his answer to Governor Gcer's request for him to aid the passage of the Oregon In dian War pension bill. Speaker Hender son says: "It is a bad time to urge this at present, with our tremendous burdens of appropriations." Why is it a bad time? It ought to be a good time The Speaker has Just allowed a bill to be introduced and passed to increase the pension of Civil War veterans, and also! one to pension a Confederate General: and a short time back, he allowed to be Introduced and passed a bill to pension Black Hawk War veterans. So the In dian War veterans of the Pacific States would like to know why it is not a good time to urge the passage of their pension bill. J. W. TATE. Mr. Henderson lost a leg la the war. What pension he draws. If any. The Ore gonlan does not know. GOING BACK TO ALASKA. J. rV. Iyct Will nesnme His Collec torshlp East Side Affairs. J. W. Ivey, Collector of Customs for the Alaskan district, arrived from Wash ington Saturday and was the guest of Judge P.ipes on the East Side. He left last night for Alaska, where he will re sume his duties. It will be remembered that Mr. Ivey went on to Washington some time ago, where he tendered his resignation as Collector of Alaska, but af.er remaining there for several months his successor was not appointed, and he is new on his way back to his po3t. The two days he spent in Portland were very busy ones, and it was not an easy mat ter to see him. Last evening he said: "Yes. I am on my way back to Sitka to resume my duties as Collector for" that dis.rict. You know that I fned my resig nation, but my successor has not been appointed, and I am still tbe Collector. 1 very mucn desired that 1 should be relieved, as 1 desired to go to Cape Nome, where I have mining Interests. i5ut un der present circumstances, I shall start this evening for Sitka with my family." a. Us was all that Mr. Ivey had to say rela.lve to the co.leciorsmp of Alaska. In speaking of the po.ltlcal outlook In the East, he said: "The prospects for a sweeping Republi can victory In the coming National cam paign were never better. I r.gara Picsi aent Mcxvinlcy as more popuiar with the great mouis than ever before, and I have no doubt he Is .monger with tne pt-op.e Cv present than when he first was a can didate for tho Presidency. His adminis tration, in my Judgment, has been wise, ana for the best inteiesis of tne whole country. The reason wny the Republi can party Is a sure winner is because of the extraoidinary prosperity that is found throughout the Eastern bta.es. I have traveled through New l'ork and many of tne Middle Statec. and wherever I have gone I have found prosperity and con tentment. The people have not forgot. en the great disasters of the Cleveland ad ministration, and have no wish to return to it. The little scheme that Eastern DemocraiS are undertaking to work to the cf.ect that in case Brjan be elected he could do nothing to disturb the gold standard now established will not deceive the people. They know that he might be elected the second time, and they do not propose to take any cnancea with him. No, that little deception will not win. They feel that Bryan might find a way to overthrow the gold standard, and the people of the East will not take the chances of risking It by voting for him. No, sir; with the success of the Republi can party, we have the gold standard es tablished, our Industries protected and now we have expanded. The great Re publican party stands for these great prin ciples. The people of this country will experience that degree of prosperity of which they have never dreamed, under Republican administration." East Side Bicycle Tax Collector. For the benefit and accommodation of the bicycle fraternity on the East Side Sheriff Frazler has appointed a tax col lector in that portion of the city. J. W. Slngletary, at 1C9 Grand avenue, has kind ly consented to act In that capacity. His place of business is convenient to every one on the East Side, and any one can step In and get a bicycle tax receipt from him without taking the time and trouble of going to the Courthouse. Mr. Stngle tary Is doing the work without compen sation, and for no other reason than to help along the cycle path construction. He Is very much interested in cycle paths and believes that every one who uses a wheel would be willing to pay the tax. Most of the paths are built on the East Side and east of the city, and are gen erally In splendid condition. There is a vast difference between wheeling out on the county roads now than what it was a few years ago, when there were no paths. So every wheelman snould etep In and get a receipt from Mr. Slngletary. Death of a German Veteran. John Klinkman, a veteran of the Franco-Prussian War, and a well-known resi dent of the Sellwood district, died at hl3 home, which Is about two miles eastward from Sellwood, Thursday. His funeral took place Saturday, and the remains were burled In Multnomah Cemotery, under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, of which he was a member. There was a large attendance of the friends of de ceased. He leaves a wife and Ave chil dren. Mr. Klinkman was born In Ger many, and was 57 years old. For the past 15 years he had lived In his late home, highly respected. He was in the nurcery business. He had been In falling health for some time. Mr. Klinkman served In the German Army, and was in many of the hard-fought battles. From the hand of the German Emperor he re ceived the Iron Crocs for his gallantry on the field. Of this he was veiy proud and prized It very highly. Encampment Committee. The general committee of the Multno mah County ex-Soldiers' and Sailors' As sociation appointed to arrange for the annual encampment will be called to gether before the close of the month. Judge Mayo, president of the association, appointed a committee of eight, but has found it necessary to appoint two more to make the committee full. He will namo these two other committeemen be fore the call for a meeting Is made. This will give a committee of 12. Including President Mayo and Secretary Foss. As the entire responsibility of making up the programmes for each day of the encamp ment, selecting grounds, etc, rests on the members, they will have a conslderab.e amount of work to do. The time for holding the encampment is the last week in July. Matters tit Fnlrvlevr. Andrew Snover, farmer, from Falrview, was in the city yesterday. He said that the proposed road from the Sandy road to the Columbia River would prove a good thing, but that It wouid benefit the Wash ington side provided a ferry be estab lished. Mr. Snover further said that the people on the Washington side of the Columbia are very desirous of getting means of crossing over to the Oregon side. However, Mr. Snover doss not know how a free ferry could be established unless the counties on both the Oregon and Washington sides should pay the ex pense. It might pay for private parties to put a ferry on. connecting with the proposed road. Mr. Snover says that the country around Falrview was never more prosperous. Torpedoes vs. Vancouver Clnb. The Torpedoes, of the East Side, and the Twenty-fourth Infantry Club played a match game of baseball Sunday after noon at Vancouver. It was a 10-lnning game. The score was 7 to 11, in favor of the Torpedoes. It was a lively game and was witnessed by a large crowd. Laid the First Brlclc. T. W. Younger, master mechanic of the Southern Pacific carshops, yesterday laid the first brick for the walls of the ma chine shops There was no ceremony, no eneeches. and no display of any sort.

General Summers Post, No. 1, Spanish War Veterans, will scon be supplemented with an auxiliary similar to those In other portions of the city. The young women of Albina have taken the matter in hand, and they hope to have the organ ization brought about in a short time. It has been found that theso auxiliaries are very helpful In keeping up the interest In the meetings of the camps. The members of General Summers Camp hope that a good, strong auxiliary will result from the efforts that are malting. East Side Notes. John Simmons, a resident of the East Side, has moved to his country home near Troutdale. where he has a farm. He will remain there about four months, when he will return to the city. While Andrew Snover, farmer, of Fair view, was transacting some business In the East Side bank, on Grand avenue and East Alder street, his horse, attached to a buggy standing on the street outside, took fright and went plunging northward. The front wheel of the buggy hooked on to a delivery wagon and the buggy wheel was wrecked. The horse ran about 201 feet and was brought to a halt, the only damage being- a 'wrecked wheel. is thin blood. It causes pale faces, white lips, weak nerves and lack of vitality.
