Proves a Success.

TEE WIRELESS TELEGRAPH.

Already He Has Sent and Received Sig-
nals at a Distance of Twenty Miles.
Instantaneous Communication \Vith
All Parts of the Earth Possible.

New York, June 7.—-At last Nikola.
Tesla has reached a point in his inves-
tigation of the possibility of telegraph—
ing Without wires to ,make a positive
announcement of his achievements. It
has been one of his dreams for years.
He has worked at the problem long and
anxiously, but his talk has always been

tied and indefinite. He spoke of the
po sib‘flity that the thing might be
done, and once, a few months ago, he
Went so far .as to call it a probability.
He was more positive and sanguine
then than ever before, but still he was
not ready to talk of achievements. But
at last the Work has reached a stage
Where the modest attitude of uncer-
tainty and hope gives way to positive-
ness and assurance, and the definite
announcement of success is made.

Mr. Tesla declares that he has pro-
duced electrical devices with which he
can actually send and receive mes-
sages by a system which can be so ap-
plied as to make it possible for an op—
erator in New York to communicate
with the people of any part of the earth
and perhaps even with those of the
stars, if any of these are inhabited.

“The machines which I have com—
pleted," said Mr. Tesla, “will carry mes-
sages through- the earth for a distance
,of 20 miles or so. I have sent and re-
ceived signals with them, and I feel
confident that' I am not mistaken in
saying that the problem, upOn which I
have spent many days and nights, is
solved. Of course it is possible that I
am mistaken. I have made mistakes
before, but not many. I shall at once
make machines which I expect Will en-
able me to telegraph to any part of the
earth as readily as I can ‘within a lim-
ited distance by means of the ones I
have.

"If I have a machine that will throw
a stone from here to there," continued
Mr. Tesla, pointing from the floor at his
feet to the door of his laboratory, “then
I do not need to doubt that I can make

, one which will throw the stone 50 miles
if I can control the necessary power.”

Mr. Tesla was not ready to explain
in detail the devices which he uses for
telegraphing without wires, but he
talked freely about the principles which
are involved and made it clear that the
results were obtained by using some
form of his electric oscillator, recently
patented. As long ago, he said, as when
he was putting up telephone wires in
Budapest he observed that electrical
impulses Were carried long distances
without the . intervention of wires.
There was a telegraph cable a mile and
a half or two miles away’ over which
messages were being sent by the Morse
code, and attimes he. could read these
messages through the telephone. This
set him to investigating the electrical
condition of theair. He became satis-
fied that the messages were conveyed
to the telephone wires by induction.

Telegraphing Through the Earth.

In 1890 he announced his belief that
by means of electrical impulses of an
extremely high rate, never yet attain—
ed at that time, bright ‘light might be
obtained from Crookes tubes, and in
1891 he made this announoement in
London. ..

"I believed at that time that tele-
graphing might be conducted through
the earth without wires,” he said, “but
I was afraid to say so for fear I should
be laughed at and discredited by the
older and abler men who were the lead-
ers in electrical science.

It was not until 1893, when he appear-
ed before the National Electrical Light-
ing association at St. Louis, that he
first declared his belief in the possibili-

. ty of telegraphing over the Whole earth
' without wires. Then he explained the
general method which hegbelieved would
make this possible if he could get a ma-
chine which should be able to disturb
the static electricity of the earth. In
that year he had an electrical exhibit
at the World’s fair in Chicago, and
among his visitorswas Professor Helm-
holz.

“I spoke of my project to Professor
Helmholz,” Mr. Tesla said, “and told
him how I thought it might be accom-
plished. ‘Yes, it is possible,’ he said,
‘but it would take much power.’ I was
very much pleased with this admission
by this great master and gratified that
he did not condemn the idea, as many
of my coworkers had done. I did not
tell him then that I had already solved
that part of the problem.”

The solution to which Mr. Tesla re—
ferred was brought about through the
work which he had done in developing
his electrical oscillator, which he was
working upon practically in connection
with the production of light from the
Crookes tubes. The energy of the elec-
tric current, like that of flowing water,
is displayed only when the current is
interrupted. A familiar example of this
may be seen in the common medical
battery where the current flowing from
one pole to the other may be passed
through the most sensitive parts of the
body, and yet not be felt. Pass the
same current through a Ruhmkorff‘coll.
interrupting the (secondary current by
the vibrations of the commutator, and
it will twist up the muscles of the
strongest man and make him power-
less.

Before Tesla’s time interruptions of
this sort had been produced only by me-
chanical means and could number only
a few hundred a second. His electrical
oscillator acts upon the principle of a

.bell, where a single stroke of the ham-
mer sets the metal vibrating with a
rapidity commensurate with its bulk,
and these vibrations can be continued
indefinitely by repeated strokes of the
hammer at slow intervals. Mr. Tesla
now makes osc. llators which will inter-
rupt the current millions of times in. a
second.

Sunk by the Fuerst Bismarck.
Hamburg, June 7.——The Hamburg-
American line steamer Fuerst Bis—
marck, Captain Albers, from New York
May 27, which arrived here yesterday,
ran down an English fishing boat in
the North sea while in the midst of a
thick fog. Five occupants of the boat
' were drowned.

BADGER IN CUSTODY.

The Indian Slayer 0f Ranchman Hobver
Taken to Dliles City.

Miles City, Mon" June 7—Stock In-

spectOI Smith, having in charge Bad-

ger, the Indian who killed Sheepherder

Hoover, has arrived here. When the
train arrived, the depot platform was
crowded. Special police and deputy
sheriffs were on hand to protect the
prisoner. Badger exhibited no signs of
nervousnessc His face was streaked
with red paint, and his blanket was
drawn tightly over his shoulders. Bad—
ger was escmted to the railroad by a
company of cavalry.

County Attorney Porter learned that
there are ten Indians implicated in the
muider of Hoover. The names of six
are known to the officers.- Warrants
will be placed in the sheriff's hands,
and all who interfere with the officers
in the discharge of their duty will be
an estéd as long as the sheriff and posse
are able to do it.

Agent Stouch will not allow the sher-
iffs on the reservation, as a letter dated
June '3 to W. D. Smith, deputy sheriff
of Custer county, will show. He says:

“I consider that the presence here of
yourself and other sheriffs or deputies
at this time,'pending my investigation
of the case in question, would be a
source of irrifation and disturbance to
the Indians under my charge and to a
great extent hamper me in conducting
the investigation and in managing the
Indians under authority. I now direct
and order that you and all other sher-
iffs or deputies leave the reservation
without delay and remain outside the
limits of the same until you can come
provided with duly executed warrants
of a specific nature.”

The warrants were for “John Doe,”
and Indian Agent Stouch objected to
them on that account. It has just been
learned that Matt Winter, deputy sher-
iff, who left the reservation to watch
the suspects, has been forcibly ejected
from the reservation by the Indian po—
lice under orders by Agent Stouch.

THE CONTEMPT GASES.

Suits Against the Newspaper Correspon-
dents Now Ready For Trial.

Washington, June 7.-—-IIt is announc-
ed that the trial of Mr. John S. Shriv-
er, the Washington representative of a
New York paper, indicted in 1894 for
having refused to answer certain ques-
tions asked him by the senate’s Sugar
trust’investigating committee, will be
proceeded with on Monday.

Mr. Shriver’s trial will be immediate-
ly followed by that of Mr. E. J._ Ecl-
wards, the Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Press, who stands
similarly charged.

Upon the conclusion of the trials of
Messrs. Shriver and Edwards, District
Attorney Davis will proceed with the
cases against Broker John W. Macart—
ney and Allen Lewis Seymour. Messrs.
Macartney and Seymour, Mr. Davis
contends, were aSked almost identically
the same questions which Mr. Elverton
R. Chapman refused to answer and for
which refusal he is now serving a term
of 30 days in jail. Counsel for Messrs.
Macartney and Seymour have under
advisement that theirclients shall plead
guilty, with an understanding respect-
ing the sentence, but no conclusion has
been reached in the matter.

 

 

Baby \Vhales on Exhibition.

New York, June 7.—-There are two
baby whales in the aquarium now.
They were caught in the gulf of St.
Lawrence. They are male and female,
in fine condition apparently. They
came packed in seaweed in two big
boxes. It required a. derrick and 14 men
to lift them into the big pool in the
center of the aquarium. The male is
of a cream color, 10% feet long. The
female is darker, a drab color, with
brown spots, and is 91/2 feet long. They
both began to investigate their new
quarters when put into the water, and
seemed very lively swimming about the
bottom of the pool.

Reward Ofi‘ered For Boggs.

Dover, Del., June 7.—President Rich-
ardson of the First National bank, of.
which William N. Boggs, the defaulter,
was recently teller, has, authorized a
reward of $500 for Boggs’ arrest and
conviction. The experts-and clerks have
discovered a further shortage, and one
of the directors said he would not be
surprised 'if the total reached $75,000.
His former bondsmen,among whom are
some of the best citizens of this sec—
tion, are liable for all 'mdney taken
prior to September last, at which time
the American Surety company of New
York became responsible.

 

Steamship Engineer Dead.
Fall River, Mass, June 7.——Chief En-

gineer Robert M. Marquis of the Fall

River line steamer City of Taunton
died at the Emergency hospital here
after a short illness from a complica-
tion of diseases, aggravated by a fall
which he received three weeks ago. He
was 64 years of age and had served the
Old Colony Steamboat company about
20 years, having been chief engineer of
all its freight boats at different times.
He leaves a widow in Cold Springs,
N. Y.

Murder Mystery at Albany.

Albany, June 7,—The badly decom-
posed body -of a man has been fished
out of the Hudson river here. The
throat was cut and the clothing Weight-
ed down with sand. Dr. J. C. Brown,
who made an autopsy, stated positively
that from the nature of the wound on
the throat the theory of suicide'is out
of the question. The lungs show that
the man was dead before his body was
thrown into the water.

The New Torpedo Boat Porter.

Washington, June 7.—-The final trial
of the torpedo boat Porter has been or—
dered to take place over Long Island
sound on Tuesday, and the trial board
has been directed to assemble at New
York for that purpose. The boat will
be kept at sea for 12 hours to demon-
strate thatshe has not developed weak—
ness or fault due to construction in the
past four months.

Despéndency Led to Suicide.

Utica, N. Y., June 7.—The body of an
aged gardener named Alfred Clark was
foundihanging in a barn on the prem-
ises of his employer, Arthur Ashton of
Genesee street of this city. Deceased
had been despondent lately, brooding
over some real or fancied financial
troubles.

Spanish Liberals Likely to Win.

Madrid, June 7.—The newspapers of
this city unanimously express the opin-
ion that the cabinetcrisis will end in
the Liberals’ ret'w'" ‘ tower.
