Dr. Marroquin’s Address in Behalf of Colombia’s Cause. A ferven{ address or pronunciamento to his countrymen has been issued by Dr. Marroquin, vice president in charge of the Government of Colombia, a copy of which hes been reccived in this city by Consul Escipion Canal, who represents the lombian Government at this port. In this address Dr. Marroguin ssserts that the reb=1lic has been unjustified at all times and that it is less justifiable now than ever. At the beginning “it might have been less criminal and insane,” so writes Dr. Marroquin, It has brought desolation and ruin upon Colom bia. When the civil war broke out Dr. Merroquin was not in _charge of the Co- lombian Government. The post of titular vice president which he now occupies was taken to satisfy the pressing opinion of his compatriots, owing to the physical un- fitness of President Sanclemente.

However, in their own wrath and see- irg that their downfall is unavoidable, they wish te drag into it the whole nation.

No Government, in the same exceptional cir- cumstances through which mine has had to traverse, could mor would act with more patriotic and fraternal feeling than has mine. We have employed benignity and kindness | where others doubtless would have resorted to force and punishment; and in the face of all these frequent and exceedingly generous proofs of good will toward our enemles they have had the inconsiderate boldness and daring to state, by speech and by the press. in the coun- try and_abroad, that the Government of Co- lombia has treated the rebels with excessive severity and even with harshness, It bas been said, by the authors of the bound- less crime which is actually annthilating Co- lombia, that they fight to regain political rights that they seem to have lost; and yet those very men obstruct and entangle the course and natural development which in the democracies prepares the peaceful exchange of political parties into power. There has also been talk of abuses In pre- vious administrations that were to be cor- rected. and notwithstanding the unquestfon- able fact that the actual Government works assiduously and honestly to protect the inter- ests of the mation, it still is the object of vicious malevolence and systematic persecu- tion by the very men that are so favored.* They seem to think little, or not at all. that the day may yet come when the Government. in order to perform the most sacred of dutles, which is to maintain order and to re-estab. lish peace, will see itself compelled to proceed as all Governments have acted in emergen- cles equal to the present one.

Passengers Are Enthusiastic Over Wireless Telegraphy and Cheer for Marconi. o lnaee Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Aug. 17.—Since the Herald undertook to establish a wireless teleg- raphy station on Nantucket Shoals light- ship to co-operate with those steamships that will install plants on board, experi- ments have been made, usually successful, in New York harbor, but it has been arranged that the Lucania should take the first formal test in passing Nantucket. On the steamship and on the lightship, expert operators, trained under the per- sonal direction of Signor Marconi, were ‘stationed. The call of the Lucania was “Nt.” The answer from Nantucket Shoals was to be “Lv.” High up on the middle bridge of the Lucania a telegraph station had been established and about it centered the interest of ail on board. For more than five days those on the Lucania had been without news of the old and new worlds. Desirous as they were of receiving word from shore, the Lucania's passengers were not less desirous of telling their friends of that rush of water~approaching the magnitude of a tidal wave that had jumped across the bow, carrying pani and destruction with it. On account o the storm which prevailed for three days it had been found necessary to lower the aerial wire swinging from the lowering mast and from which the magnetic signals are given off and through which answer- ing signals are received. At noon on Friday this wire was raised to its posi- tion and Operator Hepworth had the apparatus charged and ready for work. Early Signalling Done. Early signalling was done merely as an experiment, but at 4 o'clock in the after- noon, while the Nantucket lightship was still 120 miles to the westward, an elec- trical arm was extended in this direction in the first real attempt to establish shore communication. “Nt, Nt, Nt,” betteen the brass walls of the Rhumkorff coil®the magnetic spark danced ayd snapped in frenzy and the needle sharply and im- patiently ticked the signal letters. While others were impatient and fearful of failure, the operator, standing with his hand on the key from which he was send- ing mysterious waves scores of miles out over the ocean, was as confident of suc- cess as he could have been had the two ships stood side by side. He knew that at Nantucket Shoals operators as competent as himself were searching through space for the Lucania, at the same time holding themselves in readiness to receive his messages. Standing just bedeck of him were Willlam Mulock, Postmaster General of Canada, Representative Joy, member of Congress from St. Louls, and Captain McKay. Answering Signal Received. “Nt, Nt, Nt,” again and again the ques- tioning signal was flashed out across the ocean. “Lv, Lv,” there was at last the answering signal. “Here they are,’ shouted the operator, and, sure enough, as distinctly as could have been accomplished by means of a land wire, the signal was printed on the receiving tape, “Lv, Lv, Lv.” A computa- i s made by Captain McKay, who o that when communication’ was opened the two stations were seventy-two miles apart. It was just six minutes after 6 o’clock by the ship's time when the dots and dashes were received announcing that the Nantucket lightship had received a call from the Lucania and communication was declared perfected. i Less than five minutes later a message was received on board the Lucania an- nouncing that her approach had been flashed to shore and from that section into the office of the Herald. A storm of enthusiasm was caused among the passen- gers by the announcement that communi- cation with America had been established. From the smoking room a cheer went up for the Herald, and another for Signor Marconi, the inventor of wireless teleg- raphy. @ i e e @ TRAIN CRAGHES INTD ENGINES Forgetfulness on Part of Employes Causes Accident. SO SALT LAKE, Aug. 17.—The Union Pa- cific westbound overland limited was wrecked at Table Rock, near Greenriver, Wyo., this morning. Three of the train crew and thirteen passengers were in- jured, none seriously, however. The accident was the result of a colli-| sion between the overland limited and two light engines which were endeavoring to make a siding. The three locomotives were badly damaged and traffic was de- layed for twelve hours. Engineer Gar- side of one of the light engines was the only person in the accident that was taken to the hospital. He will recover. ‘fhe wreck was caused by the pilot and crews of the two light engines eastbound forgetting all about the flyer, which was running on time. The three locomotives came together head on with great force and were battered and broken into a mass of scrap iron. The track was torn up and the composite car badly. smashed. This and several other cars left the rails, but remained right side up. ‘he passengers, many of whom were asleep, while others were just getting up, were thrown against the seats and sides of the cars as the traln jumped along over the ties. Wrecking créws were sent out from Greenriver and a track was at once built around the wreck, traffic being de- layed about six hours. ROAD TO BE BUILT TG BLACK HILLS REGION Railway Men Make Arrangements for a Section of Transcontinen- tal stem. MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 17—It s an- nouncd that final arrangements have practically been concluded in New York whereby Minneapolis and St. Paul are to be given direct railroad connections with the Black Hills. The company is to be called the Twin City, Plerre and Black Hills, and is to be built from Aberdeen to Rapid City, in the hills, crossing the Mis- souri River at Pierre. The road will be 295 miles long and will eventually become part of one of the great systems and be a part of a short line from the Northwest to Denver, the gulf and California. The plan is to extend the road from Rapid City to a connection with the Union gn.- cific at Orin Junction, Wyo. Porto Ricans Making Cigars. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Aug. 17.—Ow- ing to the removal of the tariff the to- bacco_business is reviving. One bi~ fac- tory here resumed operations yesterday and 150 hands were re-employed in mak- ing cigars. Other factories in the interior. are also starting and a general boom is an- ticipated. The large stock of tobacco on hand is being rushed to New York. For- merly the shipment of this was unprofit- able under the tariff. Ao SO Plaza President of Ecuador.

EFORE a large audience last night Mrs. Clara Belle Brown de- livered a lecture on “The Canteen From an Army Woman’'s Stand- point.” Sherman-Clay Hall had been handscmely decorated by direction of Colonel Rawles, post commandant at the Presidio, and in recognition of the cause in which Mrs. Brown is now labor- ing the Third Artillery band was present and rendered choice selections both be- fore and after the lecture. One of the most amusing features of the lecture_was Mrs. Brown's reference to Wilbur Crafts, the sponser of the onteen law, and now, according to ‘talking delegate” of the Inter;:m- x- her, tional Reform Bureau of Chicago. tracts from the testimony of army officers taken before the Senate committee were read at length, and as each one favored the continuance of the canteen her read- ing was frequently applauded. Mrs. Brown spoke in part as follows My platform is essentially that of temper- ance—nelther total abstinence nor excess. Country children—and city politicians—know what the see-saw is. It is a machine of simple construction; a platform with a single plank, but one end of it is always up in the air while the other is on the ground. The delirium of total abstinence and fanat- icism is at one end of the see-saw, to which I now refer—the delirium of intoxication and excess at the other. The safe, broad, solid platform of real temperance is midway be- tween the two extremes. ‘Webster’s dictionary gives this definition of the word ‘‘temperance’: ‘Moderate indulg- ence of the appetite,’” “Temperately.” ““With- moderation: without excess.” The word ‘‘temperance” has too long been used to denote total abstinence from wine, beer and strong liquors—without regard to any other phase of our moral life. A total abstainer is not temperate. A total toper is not temperate. When the society called ““The Woman's Christlan Temperance Union’ FREE!

The fanatics of to-day, I belleve to be the last remnants of the thought which murdered a god, burned the martyrs, dragged women as ‘witches to the stake in our republic. and to- day cries out that our soldiers are drunkards through the will of their officers. The men who hold commissions the United States army are supposed to know something of what iIs good for the private sol- dier. The greatest good to the greatest num- ber might be fitly applied to the government of American soldiers by Ameriean officers. To keep each soldier in his command neat, clean, sober and ‘‘fit" is the duty and pride of each man who holds a commission in our service.

Value of the Raw Product Shipped Exceeds Former Amounts. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—King Cot- ton made his best record in the fiscal year just closed. The figures of the Tre Bureau of Statisties show that the value of the raw cotton exported 'n the fiscal year 191 was more than in any previous year in the history of the country, and that the total value of cotton and its \products exported averaged $1000,00 for {Yevery day in the year. The total value of raw cotton exported in 1901 was $313,673,443, against $290,712,58 in the best year ever before known, 1891; and the total value of cotton, cotton goods, cotton seed oil and meal and other products of that plant exported was $365 - 406,707. In quantity the exports of the | year were not so great as in 1365, 18 | 1899, but the price was so much better that the value exceeded by many millions that of the years of the greatest mov ment as measured in pounds. This brings the export value of cotton and its pro ucts above that of all breadstuffs or classes of provisions, and only about $10 000,000 less than breadstuffs and provisior combined, the year’s exports of bread- stuffs being $275,594,618 and of prévisions $196,958,878. The aggregate value of the e the past decade is over The following tables show the value of the raw cotton exported in each of ti bigh record years since 1848, the quantity exported in ‘the high record years si 18% and the value of the exportation of all cotton products in the fiscal year just ended: Value of cotton exports In the years of high- est record, from 184S to 1901: Value.

Four hundred soldiers were invited to give their opinion, and 1t was found that seven were opposed to the canteen, twenty-one were indifferent ana three hundred and seventy-two favored its restoration.
