' lilitltllli’t urn TRIUMPH LEADING New "System'Is New Handling Messages ‘ Without Wires. ’ A despatch from Glare Bay, Nova Scotia. says: Many newspaper corre- spondents were present on Thursday afternoon at Port Morten, when the commercial wireless service between Canada and Ireland was inaugurated by Signor Marconi. The messages ex- changed were sent by Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier, Lord Strathcona. Sir Hiram Max- im. the Lord Mayor of London and other notable men. Marconi said that over ten thousand words had been received and sent on Thursday and not a single word had to be repeated. The inventor said that he had nothing new to tell, and when asked if he would make a statement for the press, said he had nothing to say. In a few days, he said, a press Service would be inaugurated between the towers and ships at see so that; press messages may be sent each day. It is possible for Marconi to locate a ship anywhere at sea, and in a test made by the wireless people for the British Admiralty a British warship went to sea under sealed orders, and while she remained in touch system the chart of the course she had taken was made up at the wireless sta- tion that correspond exactly with that of the ship. - NO INTERRUPTION. Asked if it was possible for a mes- sage to be intercepted, the inventor said no, and even if one was copied by a fluke it. could not be done again If the matter was found out, as the tuning apparatus of the sending and receiving station would at once be alter- ed. Two messages may be received on the one set of wires at the same time, and on Thursday Morien messages were being received and sent over the same set of aerials. A wire was sent by the London Daily Mail to President Roosevelt conveying greetings. Sir Wilfrid Laurier sent the greetings of Canada to the Mother Country. The operating room is about twenty 'feet long and about twelve feet wide, mm QUEEN VICTORIA’S LETTERS. Published by Authority of King Edward 'â€"An Interesting Volume, A despaich from London says: The London papers on Wednesday morning publish elaborate extracts from the “Letters of Queen Victoria," which make their appearance by authority of King Edward. These letters form an interest ing autobiography which, without re- vealing any important political matters not already-known, present a deeply absorbing picture of the Queen's lite and character from her own hands. Editorially, the newspapers express their grateful thanks to the King for this selection from nearly six hundred volumes at Windsor, in which the Queen's letters and papers are classiâ€" fied and indexed. “*w KILLED SIX BABIES. The Terrible Crime of a Bavarian Nurse Girl. A despateh from Munich, Bavaria, says: ida Schneil, a nurse girl, fourteen years old, was arrested on Saturday, charged with .u‘mrdering six smallrchil- dren by driving hairpins through the tops of their heads. The girl confessed, the police say, that she “could not bear to hear children cry." and so, pityingly,‘ ended their suffering. Then she took another situation, and if the children there cried she was equally “merciful.” Her arrest was delayed by the difficul- ty in proving medically the cause of death of each victim. When the se- quence of deaths was established her arrest ’was inevitable. >11 G. T. P. SURVEYORS DROWN. Canoe Struck a Rock in the Giscombe Rapids. A dcspatch from Vancouver, B. C., says: Three members of a Grand Trunk Pacific survcy wore drowned on Octo- ber 41h in the Giscombc Rapids, thirty- flve miles above Fort. George, on the Fraser River. They attempted to shoot the rapids in a canoe. but struck a rock and the canoe broke to pieces. The drowned are William Lusby, Harry Cummings, W. Symington. .Tho sur- vivors are Robert.

F".'c-Ycar-Old St. Thomas Girl Attacked in Kitchen. A dospalc‘h from St. 'l'homus says: E\ clyn, the five-yearold daughter of :1 widow, Mrs. Preti. was badly bitten by a Stray dog on Thursday. The child was in the outside kitchen when the animal came in at the open door. flow at the little girl and fastened his fangs in her face. lace-ruling it terribly, with the Marconi . is not one pound of this objectionable and is equipped with three keys. Right in front of that room is the transform- er room, Where 8 or 10 transformers. are at. work transforming the current up to a very high voltage. The key is con- nected to an ordinary wire, WhiClbLS connected with the aerial. A funnel-like tube spits flame when theoperator touches the key. This, in turn, com- municates to the jump spark, and [so to the aerials. The noise on the Wire is like a number of whips being crack- ed. The whole. process is most inter- esting. and while it is difficult» to get any definite demonstration that mes. sages are readily being sent, yet both Marconi and Vyvian claim that they have been sending and receiving. INTEREST IN MONTREAL. A despatch from Montreal says: In Montreal a great. deal of interest was displayed in the inception of- the new wireless service at Morten, and many enquiries were addreSScd to the Marconi Company’s office; Mr. John D. Oppe, manager of the Canadian Company, \when seen, said: “Yes, indeed, this is. a busy day. Of course, the service is only an inaugural one, and the usual daily service will not commence for a few days yet. However, there is a host of press messages offering. and there seems to be plenty of work for the op- craters." MESSAGES FROM LAURIER. A despatch from London says: The Daily Chronicle on Friday morning pub- lishes the following message from Sir Wilfrid Laurier, transmitted by wire- less from the Marconi station in Cana- da: “Greetings to the people of Great Britain upon the attainment between the British and Canadian coasts of ne- ture's latest greatest triumph over dis- tan‘ce." The Express published the following from the Canadian Premier: “Welcome. By this bond between Britain and Canada one more triumph for the Empire and science has been achieved." The Daily Mail. also publishes a-mes- sage from “Loyal Canada." STEMMING THE FLOOD. Fewer American Publications Coming to Canada. A dcspatch from Ottawa says: The P0510ch Department reports that as the result of a new agreement to the second-class postal rates between Can- ada_ and the United States, which went into effect last spring, the flood of cheap American newspapers and magazines, used merely as advertising mediums, has practically ceased to pour into Canada. Until May last hundreds 4f tons of American newspapers and ma- gazines of the cheaper and poorer class were carried weekly by the Canadian mails. Since the new rate of one cent for four ounces has been in force there class of American mail matter coming into Canada for every thousand pounds, that came in before. The congestion in the Canadian mail service caused by the handling of this immense mass of United States publications has been re- lieved, and the relations between the two countries in respect to revenue and expenditure on international mails are on a more equitable basis. A large pro- portion of the better class of United States magazines and newspapers still coming into Canada are now being car- ried by the express companies instead of being handled by the postofllce as formerly. â€"â€"â€"_K‘â€"_â€"_‘ CLAIMS BY VANCOUVER JAPS. _, For Damage Sustained By Them During the Recent Riots. A despatch from Ottawa says: Fifty- fcur claims, ranging from one dollar to cue thousand dollars, have been filed by Japanese residents of Vancouver for damages sustained by them during the recent riots. The damage to property, consisting mostly of broken glass, is placed at $2,400, and the damages asked for business losses amount to $11,200, making an aggregate of $13,600. Noth- ing could be more thorough than the manner in which the claims are presen- ted Each case is treated as a separate claim and is accompanied not only by an affidavit of the damage. but also by a photograph of the building, showing the injuries done by the mob. _.;.______.__ A YOU'I‘IIFUL iNCENIHARY.
