Marconi Receives a Message From England. A despatch from St. John's. Nfld says:-- {Signer Marconi announced OH Saturday ,,, K |,l tho mosl wonderful scioiuilic discovery of modern time* in stating that he has received elec- tric signals across thu Atlantic Ocean from his station in Cornwall, J'-ngiaiid. li, ,-xpluins that before leaving Knglaiid he had wade his >lan for ucx:onipHhlng this result for while his primary object wna to fomuiunicate with ocean liners in mid-ocean, ho also hoped to succeed la attaining the wonderful scientific achievement of wireless telegraphy VcroM the Atlantic. Siguor Marconi's station in Corn- jWall ia most powerful. He possea*** an electric force generated there 1(10 times greater lhan at his ordinary stations liefore leaving Knglund In; arranged with the electrician in charge of tho station, whirh in lorat- od at I'oldhu. to begin sending sig- nals daily after a certain date, which Signer Marconi would cable him up- "ii perfecting his arrangements here. Signor Marconi arrived here a week ugo. and selected Kifnul Hill, at tho entrance to the harbor", as an experi- menting station, and moved . hiS equipment there. Ijist Monday fie cabled the 1'oldhu station to begin sending signals a t 3 p. m. daily, and to continue them until A p. m., these hours being respectively 11:3O a. m. to 2:30 p m. St. John's time Dur- ing thesu hours on Wednesday Signor Marconi elevated a kite with an uur- lul wire by means of which signals are sent or recei\od. He remained at tho recorder al- tarhed to the receiving apparatus, and, to his profound satisfaction, signals were received by him at in- i.-r\uls, according to the programme arranged previously with tho opera- tor at I'olilhu. These signals con- sisted of repeating at intervals the lelit-r "S." which in Marconi's code Is made by three dota or quick strokes. These signals were reported MI frequently, and, according to tho d' tailed, jilan arranged to provide snfcgu:i.rtU against possibility of a mLsUikc. Ihul Signor Marconi wai satis; :.-! 'I.*! a Wiut a guuume tranav missiou from Knglund. , liUl'HSIl CABINET APPHISKD.

HIT Marconi though kuli.sfied of tho gi'.iuinenesa of Iho signals, and thai ho had succeeded in his ub- lempiH to establish commuDicalion iinoss the Atlantic without the us* of wires, emphasized the fact that the system is yet only in on embryo- nic stagu, bul thai Ihe possibility of its ultimale development is demon- slrutod by Ihe .success of tho present experiment -i with incomplete and iru- I"-i lect apparatus, as the signals can only be received by the mosl s<joa4- lively adjusted apparalus, and s.i;- uor Marconi is working under great _l*jy)tiea. owing to the conil -prevailing here. The Cornwall. ia 1.7OO miles from Si. John'. In view of Iho success ut lending these trials, Signor Marconi will for the present disregard the matter al communicating with trana-Allanlic steamers.
