LAUS SPRECKELS'’ giit to the people of Cali- fornia, the massive pavilion at Golden Gate Park, was yesterday formally transferred to the ’public and dedicated to music.

The dispatch in reporting it said: r William Henry Preece, con- sulting engineer to the British PoMtofiice, made the | interesting announcement that as a result of his ex- periments with wireless telegraphy he had found it | quite possible to convey audible speeches six to eight miles across the sea without wires. He added that it was a practical commercial system and might be ex- tended to communicate betwgen ships and between ships and the shore. The other comes from Nikola Tesla, v have invented a method of insulating wi ho claims to es, which will put an end to the present methods of transmitting lectrical currents and substitute new methods, which remove all danger of death from live wires and v reduce the loss of electricity in transmis- sion. The new insulation is to be by cold air. A corre- spondent of the London Telegraph reports that in an interview on the subject Tesla said: also gr s 3efore my cold-air insulation can be used the wires will be placed under ground. Sawdust and water are likely to prove the most effective r —to be placed in a trough extending if desired s the continent. A thin metal tube, capable of resisting a pressure of 300 pounds to the square inch, will be used for the pur- of transmitting the current long distances, The trough would be buried five or six feet below the sur. face, and, through a pipe submerged in the substance intended to be frozen. will then be forced :. current of gas, probably hydrogen, reduced to a temperature of minus 200 degrees, which will suffice to freeze the ma- terial and neutralize the heat generated by the elec. tricity. Assuming the invention, it gives to the world an Imost perfect insulator of gigantic value. Apparently no electricity will be wasted in transmission. The cost of the new insulation is less than that of the present method, hence the invention is indispensable to telephone and telegraph companies. Water-powert converted into clectricity can be carried thousands of miles. I find Niagara's power can be brought to New York with a pose | attacking the Philippine polic | in language so terse it merits the attention of all loss of not more than a half to one per cent. For the first time power will be used for insulation instead of property. Most important changes in the industrial anq electrical world are bound to result. Apparently neither of these two promises of ad- vanced power is any more improbable of fulfillment than was the promise of wireless telegraphy as short a time as two years ago. Wireless telegraphy has be- come a power of practical use in every civilized coun- try and it is therefore reasonable to assume that wire. | less telgphoning may not be hopeless of speedy achievement. The Tesla promise of a means of trans- mitting electricity by a method which will make un- derground wires cheaper than the overhead systeni, even in the country and across the continent, is one that holds out the prospect of greater benefit than any other single feat of science since electricity was first applied to human use. Should it prove to be true, the whole problem of getting wires underground | will be settled. They will be driven there by the simple but irresistible force of economy. M than Bryan talks about and some of those things are very important indeed. Already many of the eminent leaders of the country have be- gun to point out that among the overlooked planks are some whose declarations are even more threaten- ing than the bogey of imperialism, even were that as bad as Bryan depicts it. Ex-Senator Edmunds, for example, holds that the attack upon the Supreme SOME OF THE ISSUES. ORE things are in the Kansas City platiorm | Court is one of the most vicious outbreaks of par- | tisan madness that has ever been committed in Amer- | ican politics and ought to determine even the most | zealous anti-expansionist to vote against the candidate who represents it. In a recent interview on the subject Edmunds quoted the speech which David Bennett Hill made against that plank of the Chicago platform when it was under consideration by the convention and pointed out that the issue is as menacing now as then. In his protest against the platiorm Hill said: Was it wise to assail the Supreme Court of your | country? Will some one tell me what that clause means in this platform? If you meant what you £aid and sald hat you meant? Let some one explain that provision. That provision, if it means anything, means that it Is the | duty of Congress to reconstruct the Supreme Court of the country. It means the adding of additional members | to that court, or putting some oyt of office, or recon- | structing the whole court. such revolutionary step as that. 1 will not follo That plank as well as every other of the Chicago platiorm was reaffirmed in the Kansas City platform. Bryan, who supported it in 1896, has not expressed any change of sentiment on the question. Now as then, the independence of the Supreme Court 1s menaced by the Bryanites and men like Senator Ed- | munds, who know the supreme value of law, regard the attack upon the bighest tribunal of the republic as the most dangerous movement which the agitators of the time have directed against the existing order of things. Along with the attack upon the Supreme Caurt goes the attack upca the financial integrity of the ion Big Four Railway system and a lifelong Democrat, ays: The safety of the American republic is not menac by a bogey. crowned with an imperial diadem of st ~ The cry of imperialism is simply a pretext of the Demo- cratic leaders. Now, as in 1866, the real issue is the silver dan The only peril now thre States is ruin and retrogression under silver, the turning back of the wheels of progr and prosperity to the standards of China and Mexico, and the abandonment of our pesition as the greatest country in the civilized world. Then from the South itself come men who refuse to accept anti-imperialism as the chief issue of the ime. Judge Hunt, who organized and led the fr silver movement in Georgia and gave the vote of that State to Bryan in the Chicago convention, to accept the new A has refused sue. In a recent letter to the anta Constituion he says: The policy of this Government in d dependency treats the outcome of the tres is the law of the land. and to ¢ that law v of the American people, regardless of party. Opposition to it now means nothing less than discredit to American honor and encouragement of resistance of American effort to restore ler and establish law in ally acquired territory—territory acquired by treaty— ratification of which Mr. Bryan went out of his way advise. That to Thus from different parts of the country come pro- tests against the attempt to cover and hide from sight the whole Kansas City platiorm except one plank. The intelligence of the people will not submit to be thus hoodwinked. There are more things in B ism than a protest against expansion, and the voters | know it. THE PLAIN TRUTH CF IT, ATOR FORAKER, in opening the Repub- lican campaigr concerning the insincerity of the Bryanites in of the adminstration voters. “The paramount issue of the campaign,” aid the Senator, “is the administration of McKinley, Shall it be indorsed or repudiated?” Then, com- menting upon what the Democrats call the paramount | issue, he added: If President McKinley had pursued such a policy as Mr. Bryan is now proposing if elected, he would have been branded as a weak betrayer of his trust and s responsible for a great national humiliation. 1If you have expressions of Democratic newspapers and Democratic leaders at the time when our trouble in the Philippines commenced. to learn that these men who are now talk- ing about hauling down the flag, giving the Filipinos independence and making peace on any terms, were then more imperialistic and bloodthirsty and tyrannical, as | indicated by the advice they gave, than Pr Kinley has ever been charged by them to be. That statement contains nothing of the exaggera- tion of campaign oratory. It is the exact truth. The Call has repeatediy published extracts from the self- advertised Bryan organ on this coast, the Examiner, showing that it actually did demand the adoption of a policy toward the Philippines “more imperialistic, bloodthirsty and tryrannical” than any it has as yet charged McKinley with, even in its most franfic mo- ments. 2 In fact, among the Bryanites are many men who are real imperialists. They suppress the negro vote in the South and if they could would willingly suppress the Republican vote everywhere. They are now sup- porting Bryan for the purpose of defeating McKinley and getting control of the Government, but they mock at Bryan’s anti-expansion declarations and at the anti- imperial plank in the Kansas City platform. They denounce McKinley as an imperialist because he up- holds the flag in the Philippines, but they would have denounced him as a traitor had he hauled it down. In fact, the aim of the Bryanites is to drag down the party of protection and the gold standard. They mas- querade as anti-imperialists solely to catch the votes of the unwary to help them to that end. The para- mount issue then is the choice between prosperity or calamity, for the election of Bryan would be a calamity surpassing anything the republic has known since the Civil War. ident Mc- The London Chronicle notes the arrival in that mar- ket of a large shipment of Australian oranges, but re- cords the fact that the sale was disappointing and at- tributes it to a prejudice against the fruit, The chances are, however, that the Londoners have by this time learned to judge oranges by the California standard and the Australians cannot come up to it. —_— The Democratic statesmen, who traveled from all parts of the State to the convention at San Jose and found that their policy had already been outlined and their actions dictated by the bosses, must have some very emphatic opinions on the programme in politics, On that issue M.

The contemplated work will cost | about $12,500,000. The British The German squadron, consisting of the disnatch vessel Hel :d the battleships | Brandenburg, Kurfurst, Friedrich Wil- | helm, Weissenburg and Worth, arrived Singapore August 21 bound for China waters. The ships left Willlamskafen July 9 and have probably proceeded at their most economical speed of eight to ten knots. With the arrival of the squad- | ron on the coast of China Vice Admiral | Bendeman will have twenty-five vessels | under his command. The British armored cruiser Hogue, ‘ 12,000 tons, 21,000 horsepower and 21 knots | speed, wa. igust 13 at the vard | launched <' Sons & Maxim at Barrow | Furness. The belt is of 6-inch Krupp steel | and her battery is composed of two 9.2- | inch, twelve f-inch and seventeen smaller quick-firers, The four boiler compart- | ments, hdlding thirty Belleville boilers, take in 130 feet of the length of the ship, which is 440 feet. The vessel is wood- sheathed and coppered, enabling her to maintain a maximum speed without the necessity of docking or expending an un- due amount of fuel. A comparison of armaments of British and German battleships shows that the | cost of the latter is nearly double that of the British ships. The German battle- | s<hips are about 11,800 tons and carry main bateeries—four 9.6-in eighteen ~6-inch guns and six torpedo tubes at a total cost, including the smaller guns, which are about the same in number on both ships, of §1,250,000. The British type is 15,000 tons ¢ rries four 12-inch, twelve 6-inch and four torpedo tubes at a cost of $630,000. The main battery of the Oregon is com- posed of four 13-inch, eight S-inch, four §-inch and two torvedo tubes and cost $8,599, including the secondary battery, | and the Towa's four 12-inch, eight S-inch, six 4-inch and four torpedo tubes are re- | ported to have been installed for $383,859. The extraordinary cost of the German battery is susceptible to the explanation that cheap labor is very expensive. Two gun vessels in the French navy | just completed—the Decidee and Zelee— | are 645 and 646 tons, respectively, and nearly identical dimensions, the Zelee drawing only 10 feet 6 inches against the Decidee 12 feet 6 inches. They are both fitted with Niclause boilers of 1000 horse- power, but their trials show a considera- ble difference in coal consumption with the same horsepower. Thus the Zelee under 335 horsepower consumed 1.25 pounds per horsepower, and during her six hours’ full speed developed 953 horse- power at an expenditure of 159 pounds. The Decidee, with the same power, con- sumed 151 pounds and 1.89 pounds, re- spectively. The consumption of either vessel is in excess of tnat of the Ameri- can water-tube boiler used and being iny stalled in the United States navy, and also exceed the consumption of the coast- ing steamers here, notwithstanding the fact that the coal used is much inferfor to that supplied to ships of war. Fred T. Jane, the well-known naval ex- pert, was on board one of the ships dur- ing the recent British naval maneuvers as correspondent for a leading London journal.
