Sold all over the world, | house the apparatus has already been let : B ILLIS MOORE, Chief of the Weather Bureau, has instructed the loeal of- fice to ask at once for bids for the erection of masts for a system of wireless telegraphy be- tween Point Reyes and the Fai allones. A contract for “a building on the islands to house the apparatus has already been let and promise is made that the installation of the system will proceed - with. the utmost expediency. The Call gave Mar- coni his first eopportunity to demonstrate the practicability of wireless telegraphy, and on March 23, 1899, the news of the approach of the transport Sher- man was signaled to the sta- tion on shore and a revolution in the transmission of messages insured. o — IRELESS telegraphy is now to ! return, an efficient, invaluable | | servant to commerce, to the | in scene, all of its first practical slow-moving machinery of Government is at last turning, | contracts are to be let at once and assur- ance is given by Federal authorities that | with the greatest possible expediency a plant will be installed that will give San Francisco the commercial benefit of Mar- S reat achievement. ress appropriated $40,000 for the es- hment of a system of wireless teleg- Point Reyes and the as an aid to weather predic- protection and convenience to .

Yesterday the local Weather Bureau of- fice received imstructions from Willis Moore, chief of the Weather Bureau, to advertise at once for bids for the erec- tion of the masts, 170 feet high, on the islands and at Point Reyes. In the stirring times of the Spanish war Marconi lay claim to having discov- | ered a method of transmitting messages by electric current without the use of wires. For the most part he was looked upon as a dreamer or a faker. The Call, alert to getting the news first and with an eye to encouraging scientific achjeve- | ment as weéll, decided to give his appa- | ratus’a test of the severest sort. Plants were - installed and when the transport Sherman approached the Golden Gate August 23, 1899, with the battle-tried men | of the First California Volunteers abdard, | it was Marconi's system operated by elec- tricians in The Call’s employ that brought news to ‘the anxious city of the coming | of the army ship and its preclous cargo. FESSENDEN SYSTEM IS USED.| This experiment attracted the attention | of the world.. Other attempts were made | at sending messages at sea, and the skep- | tical became believers. The commercial | bodies of San Francisco were quick to see | the incalculable benefits such -a system. | might confer on commerce at this port and began early to urge the Government to establish a station on the Farallones | to be in communication with one at Point | Reyes. The Call's achlevement and the efforts of the commercial bodies have | borne fruit. i After ‘a thorough investigation the Weather Bureau, has decided that the Fessenden system'is the most practicable, | and_it; insteal of Marconi’s, will be in. stalled on this coast. The masts which will be erected on the Farallones and at WY DIPLOWDY SLORES TRIUNPH European Powers Agree to the Evacuation of Tientsin. —— WASHINGTON, July 9.—Secretary Hay’'s prompt action upon the appeal of | the Chinese Government, through Yuan £hi Kai and Minister Wu, relative to the acuation of Tientsin has met with suec- cess. The foreign generals who have stood in the way of evacuation will recelve in- structions from their home governments, and although one or two minor points re- main to be adjusted it is believed that Tientsin will soon be turned over to the Chinese authorities. Secretary -Hay, doubting whether any- thing could be accomplished directly through the diplomats at Peking, though action there had been contemplated, de- cided to address himself directly to the test by the Weather Bureau on the coast | of North ! on the northwest shore of Roanoke Isl- !and, and the other at a point about five Point Reyes will be in three sections, the first seventy feet in height, the second sixty feet and the third forty feet. The mast on the islands will be erected on Main Top, a high rock in the southern rallon. The elevation of this estation will greatly faeilitate the transmission of messages. The dividing of the masts into three sections will not only make their rection easier, but will make them more ubstantial. Early in May of the present year the Fessenden system was given a thorough nd South Carolina. During this & it is claimed, were trans- r a distance of fifty miles with- out the least difficulty and as accurately as over ordinary telegraph wires. One of the testing stations was at Wier Point, miles to the westward of Cape Hatteras. A mast about 140 feet high was eredted at each sending station for carrying the aerial wires. These consisted of fine cop- per wires strung about five inches apart and nearly vertical. The transmitting ap- paratus consisted of the usual induction coils common with other systems of wire- less telegraphy. The receiving apparatus, however, was different from that em- ploved by any other inventor. A tele- phonic receiver was employed, and one of the scientists who witnessed the test de- clared it was demonstrated that messages could be sent and received as rapidly over the Fessenden system as by a land wire line, and much more rapidly than over a cable. WITH TELEGRAPHIC SPEED. In a description of the test published in the Electrical Review and Engineer it is stated that messages were sent at the rate of twenty-five words a minute and that had an experienced operator been present fifty words or even higher might have | been transmitted. In an account written by Professor Fes- senden for the New York Herald he says that the receiver in his system is perfect | in its action and entirely and absolutely reliable. He writes: 1t is entirely different from the coherer which 1s_employed in the Marcon! system and gives no feeble signals such as the latter does, I was at the Roanoke Island station and cduld casily get every eingle dot and dash made by the operator at the Hatteras station. The messages were received with the utmost clear- ness. Words can be recelved over my system at the same rate of speed as over an ordinary telegraph line. It is possible for an expert telegrapher to receive messages as fast as the key can be worked. The test on the Carolina coast was made under many disadvantages, and it was admitted by the sclentists who were present that the system would have pro- duced better results had the conditions been different. The Weather Bureau was so satisfled with the test, however, that it decided to install the Fessenden system at the entrance of one of the Alaskan Governments interested in the Chinese question and maintaining forces in Tien- tsin. This was done-through the Ameri- can Embassadors and Ministers resident }a\‘l the various European courts and To- kio. Answers have been received from near- ly all of these. The latest, coming to-day, were from France and Germany, and quite unexpectedly they have all proved to be favorable to the United States’ con- tention. The powers are now agreed to instruct their generals at Tientsin to abandon the condaition sought to be imposed a¢ a pre- cedent to evacuation, that, save the small police force of 300 men, the Chinese mill- tary forces must be kept at a distance of not less than thirty kilometres from Tien- tsin. Although there were seme other ob- jectionable features in the agreement which the generals required from the Chinese they were of comparatively little importance in the Chinese mind compared to the condition as to the position of the Chinese troops, and as this condition has been removed a speedy conclusion of the Tientsin negotiations is expected.

MARCONT SYSTEM TESTED. World Amazed at The Call’s Achieve- ment in 1899. The world of sclence was no less smazed than was the journalistic world | when on "August 23, 1899, The Call, after | long and complete preparation, made a practical test of wirelss telegraphy by its use to announce to an anxious public the approach of the transport Sherman,.then returning to San Francisco with the gal- lant fighting sons of California, fresh from service in the Philippines. Aprreciating the anxiety of the citi- zens and also with a view of alding thoss who were responsible for the arrange- ments for the grand reception that the ccming into port of the transport should be known at the earliest possible moment, the management of The Call assumed a position of responsibility that was not orly to affect the genral public, but must also be of paramqunt interest to sclence. The Call had a ‘complete equipment of the Marconi apparatus installed. It was obtainable in London only, and not one of the men placed in charge by The Call to test the system. had the slightest prac- tical knowledge of its manipulation aside from that obtained from a study of the descriptions and what scientiflc accounts were ot hand. Between the dome of The Call building and Telegraph Hill and other points a se- MILADAD MUST PAY UNGLE SAM Judge Ross Decides Last of the Overlap Land Grant Cases. LOS ANGELES, July 9.—Thousands of property owners .of Southern California will be affected by an important decision rendered to-day by Judge E. M. Ross of the United States Circuit Court. According to the judgment a vast plece of property, a portion of the old Atlantic and Pacific land grant of 186, amounting to more than 60,000 acres and extending from the eastern boundary of California to the Pa- cific Ocean at San Buena Ventura, never was legally possessed by the Southern Pa- cific Railway Company, and that corpora- tion is ordered to pay to the United States Government the value of thé land, or §1 25 an acre. All the property was subdivided by the Southern Pacific Company years ago into towns, lots and acreage that have since become ranches, orchards and small plats ries of experiments was persistently fol- lowed for about five weeks. Then appa- ratus was placed on the yacht Lurline and tests of transmitting and receiving { were conducted, the distance varying ac- cording to the rcsults. The preliminary tests proved conclu- sively the necessity of installiig instru- ments of greater power, and in response to a cable to London they were forward- ed grnmpfly. The importance of the experiment was. readily recognized by the Government of- ficlals, and with their sanction the sea end of the aerial courier line was estab- lished on board Lightship 70, anchored some nine miles out from the entrance to the Golden Gate. The lightship dynamo supplied the-electric force and her masts | offered a suitable altitude for the pendant wire, while the land station was fixed at the Cliff House. From a mast on the top of the bullding, on the seaward side, a long wire hung with a frée end down | eighty feet to near the. water. From its fixed end above connection was had with powerful but sensitive instruments in a room below. Special telephone connection with the office of The Call, thence up to the dome of The Call building, where the signal gun stood, charged and ready, completed arrangements. It will be remembered that to E. M. Fisher, the expert teclégraph operator, was allotted the charge of the lookout | station on the lightship, and E. J. Wol- ters, chief engineer of' The Call building, and Louis McKissick, circuit manager of | the_Western Union Telegraph Company at Sacramento, had charge of the station at the Clff House. From the hour the Sherman left Yo- kehama The Call by chart and in its col- umns uninterruptedly kept the public in- formed of her approximate position, and | when at noon on August 22 it was con- cluded from estimation that she was but owned by private individuals. The prop- erty extends through fertile districts and includes certain portions of the richest orange beits in Southern California. Al- though it is declared that the rallway company never owned the property, the court makes purchasers safe by confirm- ing their titles to the lands in question. This property includes thriving towns in San Fernando Valley and in Los Angeles County, directly east of Los Angeles and Pasadena. Portions of both these citles also were in the original grant. Although the railway company loses the suit and suffers judgment and costs the corporation will be forced to give up but from $75,000 to $80,000 in cash, Judge Ross’ decision concludes the last of the many “over-lap” land grant cases which have been fought out from the lower to the United States Supreme Court and marks the last of a long list of vie- tories for the Government, the plaintiff in the actions. The alternate sections of over-lapping land grant territories In Cal- ifgrnia_involved in these suits amount to re than 5,000,000 acres. According to Judge Ross' decision the company must now make a full account- ing of money received to the court, and Attorney Frank Flint, for the defendant corporation, together with Attorney J. H. Call, for the Government, are now en- gaged in that task. o ‘When asked if the decision would be ap- pealed to .the United States. Supreme Court, as was the case in all other “over- lap” suits, Attorney Flint thought that such action would be taken. The case has been on trial about three vears and| the many purchasers of ‘the land feel greatly relleved at the result. running to a doctor three days out of - a few hours from home excitement in the city reached a high pitch. As hour after hour passed by, with no | tidings, the nervous tension on board the | lightship increased, but suspense gave way to an outburst of delight when, shortly after 5 o'clock in the evening of the 23d, the good Sherman showed her stately form, though somewhat indistinct- ly, steaming through a thick haze. The lookout was alert and ready and in a flash his message was speeding through space; while the faithful watch- ers who had kept a ceaseless vigil for two days and nights at the CHff House were drawn hurriedly to their receiving instrument, which had begun to click. The good news that “the Sherman is in sight” was pulsated from over the sea and through the thick mist to the watch- ers at the Cliff House, thence to The Call and in turn to the anxious populace. Not more than thirty seconds elapsed from the moment the wireless telegraphic words were transmitted until the signal gur from the dome of The Call building arnounced the success of the message telling of the ship’s arrival.

Prince Rospigliosi Is Unable to Overcome Scruples of the Church. ROME, July 9.—A great sensation has been caused here by the action of the Vatican authorities toward the Princess Joseph Rospigliosi, an American. Her husband is head of an ancient family of clerical nobility and his brother 1s com- mandant of the papal noble guard. On August 26, 1901, Prince Rospigliosi married here Mrs. Marie Jennings Reid Parkhurst of Washington, the divorced wife of Colonel Frederick H. Parkhurst of Ban- ceremony was_ civil, hence O et Tomntet By, (he | Vatiesn Princess Rospigliosi, who is in _delicate health, engaged an English Blue Sister as a nurse and the latter took up her du- ties. But Cardinal Macchi, secretary of apostolic briefs, hearing of this, forl ade the sister to fulfill her duties, on the ground that the marriage was non-exist- ent, The Prince was furious and exerted all his influence to overcome the seruples of the church, but without avail. Eventu- ally he was obliged to send to England for a nurse. The incident is expected to have some important developments, ‘When the news of the marriage of Mrs. Parkhurst to Prince Rospigliosi reached the United States it was asserted that at first the Vatican refused to sanction the marriage because Mrs. Parkhurst was a divorced woman, but as the Prince- de- clared she should be his wife with or without the consent of the church sanc- tion was finally given. Mrs. Parkhurst is a granddaughter of Samuel Chester Reid; who commanded the American privateer Brigadier General Armstrong at the battle of Fayal in the war of 1812. On her mother’s side she is descended from the Roman family of Kentucky. About ten years ago in Wash ington she met Parkhurst, who is a me: ber of the Maine Legislature and of Gov- ernor Hill's staff, with the rank of colonel. The couple were married and lived hap- pily for a time in Bangor. They had two ckildren. Several years ago they became estranged and Colonel Parkhurst sued for digorce. The divorce was granied and Mrs. Parkhurst left the city. At Bar Harbor she met Prince Joseph, who fell in love with her.
