Mr. Sllllman supposed ho might as well accept tho challenge for cause. yet desired to ask the Juror somo ques tions. Ho began to no so, but quickly surrendered the man. The pnncl was now exhausted.

The communication will be read at the next meeting of the executive committee of the Home Itulo party which will be held on Thursday even Ing next St. John's, N. F., Dec. 14. Signer Marconi Announced tonight that he bad received electric olgnals across the Atlantic ocean from his station In Cornwall, England. He explains that before leaving England he made plans for accomplishing this result, for, while his primary object was to com municate with ocean liners In mid ocean, he hoped also to succeed In at taining the wonderful scientific achievement of wireless telegraphy across the Atlantic. Slgnor Marconi's station in Cornwall Is very powerfull. He possesses an elt-ctrlc force, generated there, a hun dred times greater tnan his ordinary statious. tlcfore h left England he armnged with the electrician In charge- of the station, which Is located at Poldliu, that signals should be sent dally after a certain date which Mar coni would cable him after having per fected his arrangements hcrv. Bignnr Marconi arrived hero a week ago Fri day, selected Signal Hill, at the en trance to the harbor, as an experiment ing stntion and moved his equipment there. Ijtat Monday he cabled to the I'old hu 'station to begin sending signals at 3 p. in. dally and to continue them un til C p. m.. theso hours being respect ively 11:30 a. m. and 2:30 p. m.. HU John's time. During these hours Wed nesday Signor Marconi elevated a kite with an aerial wire, by means of wnlch signals aro sent or received. Ho re mained at the recorder attached to the Marconi cabled to his principals la England, and also Informed tno Gov. ernor of Ncwfouuulnml, 8fr. Cavendish Jioyk'. Who apprised the llrltish Cabi net of tho success Of the experiments- Signer Marconi, though satisfied ol tho genuineness of the signals and that ho has succeeded lu bis attempt In establishing communlcat!6n across the Atlantic without the use of wires, emphasizes the fact that tbu system Is yet only In an embryonic stage and that thu possibility ol Its ultimate de velopment Is demonstrated by the suc cess of the present experiments with Incomplete and Imperfect apparatus, as the signals run only be received by the most sensitively adjustcu appar atus, and S.gnor Marconi Is working under great dlDlcultles owing to the conditions prevailing.' Tbo Cornwall coast Is 1700 miles from Bt. John's. In view of the success attending these trials 8lenor Marconi will for the present disregard thu matter of communicating with trans-Atlantic steamers. He will return to England next week and will conduct thu exper iments from Poldhu himself. He ex plains that the great electrical power there will enable him to send more effective signals. He will undcrtako this work himself, leaving assistants here to erect a mast and receive the signals ns he forwards uom. It Is not posslblu to send return signals from here until a powerful electric battery shall havn beeu InstnlUd. Sir ltobert llond. Premier of New foundland, offers Hlgnor Marconi every facility for tho carrying but of his plans.

Tho Qrst full details that tell how thu triumph of wireless telegraphy whs accom plished, how a message was sent 1800 miles across the Atlautlc, prove that Marconi prepared for this experiment with the most scientific caro nnd ut most secrecy. Had his experiment failed ho would not have been disap pointed, for failure would havo meant nothing when one considers tbo extra ordinary task that Buc.i a trial put upon his apparatus. Ho succeeded. Ho is elated, triumphant. Today ciowds of people ascended Signal Hill In the vain bono mat tuev migiu in spect the apparatus, with thu foolish wish "to hear thu ticking of the rues saces ncross thu sea." Messages wcro received by Marconi on a very sensitive tolcpuonu attached to his instruments that enabled him to detect signals that tho Instruments themselves Intensely delicate, could not record. These crowds would hnvn been honored to see Marconi, to con gratulate him. to shake his hand. Everyone Is striving to do -.i honor. Today hu lsltcd HIshop Houluy at fno Catholic palace.
