IIDEAS COME TOO HIGH
Marconi Wants the Earth for
His Invention.
WE WILL MAKE A BETTER 0X1?
VanUea Oenlus Will He Set to Work at
Ouc-a to liuild an Apparutua for
Wireless Telmaph.
New York, Deo. 25. A special to
tho Tribune from Washington says:
Rear-Admiral Bradford hns asked au
thority from the navy ;' department to
establish a bureau J,lio naval training
station at Newport for the develop
ment of a naval system of wireless tel
egraphy. It is proposod to detail sev
eral olfieers having high electrical
knowledge at this station and to fur
nish facilities for study and experi
ment, in tho boliof that something bet
ter than Marconi'n apparatus may be
devised.
The projoct to secure Marconi's sys
tem for the navy has been practical!
abandoned. Iu the first place its ratigo
was found to be exceedingly limited,
especially when vessels were rolling in
a seaway, and their topmasts continu
ously varied in height above the water.
Then there was the insuperable objec
tions of interference, two stations be
ing unable to hold intelligent commun
ication when a thira station within
their circle of sensitiveness undertook
to send a messago to either point. This
defect destroys the value of the system
whore more than two ships cruised iu
squadron or where an enemy choso to
Bi nd disturbing messages.
Finally, Marconi's terms of "$20,000
for the first year and $10,000 annually
thereafter were regarded as exorbitant
for the use of his half-developed inven
tion. He declined absolutely to modify
his proposition, which compelled the
navy to take 20 sets of apparatus or
more, and to pay $500 outright for each
set. and $500 a year each as royalty
for their use. He refused to send two
or three sets for experimental pur
poses, and gave American naval officers
to understand that he did not care to
do business on a small scale when Eu
ropean navies were fighting for the ex
clusive use of his coherer and other es
sential features, in spite of the system's
radical shortcomings, as discovered on
this side of the Atlantic. Marconi's
attitudo toward the army was scareely
different, and the Bigual corps is going
ahead on a sytem of its own, which
avoids the Italian's patents, and al
ready is said to be producing better re
sults. Rear-Admiral Bradford believes that
some of the eloctrical experts of the
naval equipment bureau, if the oppor
tunity is given them, will produce ap
paratus to meet the peculiar conditions
of tho navy without oppreciable expen
diture, and in all probability the ex
periments he desires will be ordered.
One station will be located at the
training station and the other at the
torpedo school, on islands about a mile
tpart, and as progress is made other
tations will be set up at various point p
a Newport harbor, where torpedo
boats are always available, with vessels
in motion or for miniature fleet evolu
tions. Several forms of apparatus from
American inventors have already been
submitted for test, and doubtless others
will be received when the work is act
ually started.
Ended In a Free Fight.
. Paris, Deo. 25. A pro-Boor demon
stration, convened this evening at the
Tivoli auxhall by the executive com
mittee of the Jeuness Royaliste, ended
iu a riot. The socialists entered in
force and broke up the meeting, amid
indescribable nproar and shouts of
Vive la social revolution, " and "A
has Deroulede," with counter cries of
Vive Deroulede" and "Vive l'armee."
Several nationalists who wore present
endeavored to speak, but they were
quite inaudible. A free fight ensued,
and the proprietor of the hall turned
off the gas. The combatants then
lighted newspapers and continued tlr
fight, smashing the fittings of the hal
and using them as weapons. Finally
the police cleared the room, but they
were compelled to charge several times
before order was re-established.

PROTECTED HER HOME.
foung Woman Shot anil Killed an In
truder.
Natick, Mass., Dec. 25. Lewis
Perry, aged 33, Spanish war veteran
was shot and killed today by Miss
Lizzie Morse, at her home in West
Natick. Four shota were fired, two of
them taking effect, one in tho heart
Miss Morse, who was placed under ar
rest, says that tho circumstances justi
!od her in shooting Perry. The Morse
family is one of the wealthiest and
best known in town. Miss Morso and
the members of her family claim that
Perry and Arnold Slaptien, on bicycles,
rode up to the Morse house, demanded
admittance without stating their busi
ness, and, upon being refused, smashed
several windows. Miss Morso went to
the bureau drawer and londod a 22-cal-
ibor revolver. She claims that the
men went around to the front of the
house, where Perry finished smashing
the glass in one of the windows, and
climbed in, in spite of her remon
strances. After gaining an entrance,
he grabbed Miss Elreta Morse and
wrenched from her a croquet mallet,
with which sho triod to protect herself
Lizzie rushed to her sister's assist
ance and informed Perry that she
would shoot him if ho did not leave
the house. He gave her a terriiio blow
with tho mallet and felled her to tho
floor. She managed to get up again,
and told Terry to get out of the house,
when he dared her to shoot. Sho then
fired four shots at Perry, who managed
to climb through the window and then
fell dead.
WANTED HIS PICTURE IN PRINT.
Nes
York Man Shot Ilia Wife anil
Killed llliiisi lf.
Binghampton, N. Y., Dec. 25. Joi n
Edgar Gardiner, in order to get his
picture into print, shot his young wife
and then killed himself toduy. Gardi
ner was 00 years of age, his wife 29.
They had been married but a short
time, and wore living apart on account
of his bad habits. On several occasions
he had asked how she would like to
see their pictures in a local paper. His
wife took fright at this, and forbade
him to speak to her on the subject. V"
called at the house today and as!
her to come out, as he was going We
She declined, and he forced his way U.
to her apartments, saying, "See what
I have brought you," drew a revolver
and shot her twice.one bullet passing
through her arm, the other entering
her side. The woman was able to rush
from the house to a neighbor's.
When the police officers arrived Gardi
ner walked to the center of a room in
full view of the officers, and, placing
the weapon to his head, killed him
self.
Crater Lake Park.
Washington, Deo. 25. Among tho
familiar bills of the last congress to re
appear this year are two that were iu
troduced by Representative Tongue, of
Oregon. One is his bill for creating
a publio park, including Crater Lake,
and much of the surrounding country,
and the other is his bill providing for
the examination and classification of
the lands in the Rosebnrg and Oregon
City land districts within the grant
nade to the Oregon & California Rail
oad Company. Both bills are prac
tically the same as were presented i
the last congress.
The Crater lake bill proposes to set
aside a tract of 249 square miles, with
out drawing it from settlement or sale
and making it a public park or pleas
ure ground, to be known as the Crater
Lake National Tark. This park, if es
talbished, is to be under the control of
the secretary of the interior, who will
preserve the lands iu their natural con
dition and prevent all residence, min
ing, lumbering or other business opera
tions within its limits. The old pro
vision for restaurants and waiting
rooms is again inserted, as are the pro
visions for governing and protecting
the park. It is proposed that the costs
and expenses of creating the park shall
be borne by the general government.
It was this last provision that aroused
Speaker Reed against the bill last con
gress, for he contended that any ex
pense attached should be borne by the
state. Now that Reed is out of con
gress, the bill may have a better chance
of becoming a law.
Wages Advanced.
Pittsburg, Deo. 25. The Carnegie
Steel Company posted today, at its va
rious works in this city, notices reading
substantially as follows:
"Taking effect January 1, 1900, com
mon labor at these works will be in
creased to $1.50 per day, and all other
day turn and tonnage labor (with cer
tain exceptions), will be increased in
proportion."
The exceptions are the tonnage men
working under sliding scales, -where
the rates of wages increase and decrease
in proportion to the proceeds of the
products. This adjustment is 7.41 per
cent advance on the wages now being
paid, making a total of 25 per cent of
increase made by the company volun
tarily since the last general scale.
