"The development of the system," said
Professor Moore to-night, "was ordered
by Secretary Wilson, and It has been
brought to its present satisfactory state
under his supervision. We believe we
have perfected a telephonic receiver of
value. By means of this receiver we are
able to take messages as rapidly as by
wire. The system belongs to the Weather
Bureau and is fully covered by patents.
We are working over an ideal course, and
I feel confident the system will operate
to the satisfaction of the army and navy
officers who will witness its performance.
But between Roanoke and Hatteras there
is a body of salt water, which materially
aids the transmission. I doubt If it la
feasible to obtain satisfactory results by
wireless telegraphy over fresh water or
land. We do not claim great results for
our instruments. We simply believe that
we have an efficient system for working
over salt -water."
Two stations fifty miles apart have been
established— one on Roanoke Island, off
the North Carolina coast, and the other
at Cape Hatteras. Before tho experi
ments are concluded it is expected that
eighty miles can be covered without dif
ficulty.

W., WASHINGTON, April 22.— As a re
sult of persistent investigation tho
Weather Bureau, under the supervision
of Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, ha3
developed a system, of wlreles3 telegraphy
whicn is superior to any now ln use.
Several months ago The Call's corre
spondent wired that the receiver used
in the secret experiments of the Govern
ment was an ordinary Bell telephone in
strument wound to a ; high resistance.
This makes the most sensitive apparatus
known in electrical science, and by it
messages can * be transmitted as rapidly
as over ordinary telegraph wire, enabling
aots and dashes to be read, witnout diffi
culty. . ' ' -v-' -j ¦¦¦' '
Brigadier General Greely, chief signal
officer, accompanied by Captain Rusaeli,
also of the signal corps, is now on his
way to the scene of experiments in North
Carolina. Lieutenants A. JM. Beecher and

WASHINGTON. April ¦ 22.— Senator
Hawley. chairman "o*f 'the? Senate Commit
tee, on Military Affairs, to-day introduced'
a bill to "increase -the efficiency, of the
army." The^most important section of
the bill Is the following? - : "
A great majority of such applicants
¦were suspected not of a desire to fight in
the British army, but to secure free trans
portation to South Africa and then im
prove the first opportunity to go over to
the Boers, carrying with them such guns
and ammunition and other equipment as
they may have been provided with.
Colonel Crowder reports that he waa
unable to find any evidence that the Brit
ish officers have attempted to carry on,
recruiting on American soil, either di
rectly or by any subterfuge. On the con
trary, he says, the officers representing
the British army at Port Chalmette and
at Isew Orleans and other points in the
West have refused hundreds of applica
tions from persons who either openly de
clared or intimated that they wished to
enlist.
4. During the two and a half years these offi
cers have paid out the sum of about $13.000,COO
for horses and mules and about $15,000,000 for
forage and other supplies, all of which wera
shipped to the army in South Africa, most of it
upon British transports, owned or chartered.
Since this depot was established, late in 1891).
about seventy-five ships have been cleared from
New Orleans for South Africa, carrying: a total
of about 65,000 mules and about 95,000 horses.
and hundreds of thousands of tons of hay and
other provender.
1. The depot at Port Chalmette has been con
tinuously used as a base of supplies for the-
British army ln South Africa for two years and
a half. . .
2. This depot has been under the immediate
personal supervision and management oC regu
larly commissioned officers of the British army.
3. These officers have not worn uniforms and.
have not used arms or any other means of de
fense than such as were furnished by the local
authorities, but they have signed checks, re
ceipts, vouchers, etc., as officers of the British
army and signed with their rank or title.
This conference was participated In by
the President, Attorney General Knox,
Acting Secretary of "War Sanger and Lieu
tenant Colonel Crowder. Upon Its conclu
sion no statement as to whether any ac
tion will be taken by the President could
be obtained. Contrary to general belief,
however, the report of Crowder, which ho
has submitted, shows that there has not
been the extensive violation of neutrality
alleged by the Boers. The conditions
found by the army officer at Port Chal
mette are thus stated:
CALL. BUREAU. 1406 . G STREET. N.
W., WASHINGTON. April 22,-There was
an important conference . in the "White
House to-night in regard to the report
of Lieutenant Colonel E. H. Crowder,
giving the result of hi3 investigation into
the conduct of British agents in Louisi
ana.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
The original Senate provision vested the
power here given to the Philippine Com
mission in the United States courts and
the corresponding insular courts.
That It shall be the duty of every Chinese
laborer, other than a cit'zen, rightfully in and
cniitled to remain ln any of the insular terri
tories of the United States (Hawaii excepted) at
the time, of the passage of this act. to obtain
in one year after the passage of this act a cer
tificate of residence in the insular territory
¦wherein he resides. "which certificate shall en
title him to residence therein, and upon fail
ure to obtain euch certificate as herein" pro
vided he shall be deported from such insular
territory, and the Philippine Commission is au
thorized and required to make all regulations
and provisions necessary for the enforcement of
this section In the Philippine Islands, Including
the form and substance of the certificate of
residence, so that the (same 6hall clearly and
sufficiently identify the holder thereof and en
able officials to prevent fraud in the transfer
of the same; provided, however, that if said
Philippine Commission shall find it is impos
sible to complete the registration herein pro
vided for within one year from the passage of
this act.- said commission te hereby authorized
and empywered to extend . the time for such
r«-:g!Vt ration for a further period not exceeding
one year. "
Sections 5 and 6 of the Senate bill; the
first relating to certificates of Chinese
residents in the insular territory of the
United States, and the second pertaining
in judicial proceedings, were stricken out
by the conference and the following sub
stituted for the two sections:
"Said laws shall apply to all immigra
tion of Chinese laborers not citizens of
the United States from the island to the
mainland territory of the United States,
whether such were in the island territory
at the time of cession or not. or from
one portion of the island territory of the
United States -to another portion of said
territory."
Under the agreement reached by the
conferee? the foregoing quotation will be
the first provision in the compromise bill.
The Senate bill is also made more specific
in its application to Insular territory. The
provision relating to Chinese laborers in
islands belonging to the United States is
made to read as follows:
WASHINGTON. April 22.— The con
ferees on the Chinese exclusion' bill have
practically reached an agreement. The
main features of the Senate bill have been
adepted, but there are some alterations.
When the conferees resumed their ses
sion to-day it was understood that a.
proposition was under consideration to
take out of the Senate substitute the lim
itation of exclusion until a new treaty
v.as made, thus extending exclusion j In
definitely. Another proposition was to
insert the text of the exclusion, law of
1SS£, which the Senate substitute re-enacts
by title, so that no question can arise as
to the certainty of this additional bar
rier. It appeared to-be accepted by all
the conferees that the seamen's clause of
-the House bill prohibiting' the employ
ment of Chinese sailors on American
ships will not go. into the bill.
Ihe agreement reached Js upon all but
one feature of the measure.- Under the
agreement the Senate substitute becomes
the exclusion measure. but the House con
ferees have secured a concession spe
citieally re-enacting sections 3 to 14 of the
exclusion act of September 13, 1SS8. The
point still open is as to extending the ex
clusion indefinitely after May 5 next.
The House bill extends the prohibition
indefinitely, but the Senate limits it until
a new treaty is made. The House con
ferees are insisting on taking out ¦ t!ie
reference to a new treaty, so that thers
will b.e no limit of time to the exclusion.
Following is the specific provision re
enacting sections of the act of 18SS, which
was inserted at the instance of the House
members:
"All laws now in force prohibiting and

BILL BESTOWS
POWER ON MILES
MflNY MILLIONS
Now that the small-bore politicians have ex
hausted their mud batteries It is possible that
Governor Murphy may at an early day ask to
be relieved. . ' , '. 1 . . -
When questioned to-day by The Call
correspondent Governor Murphy said that
for a long time he had been tired of offi
cial life and had retained his office only
because of the manner in which he has
been assailed by his political enemies. He
said' it was quite probable that he would
tender his resignation at no distant day.
It is no secret that Governor Murphy's
successor will be Colonel » Alexander ¦ O.
Brodie;- former ly of "the -Rough Riders,
and that Colonel Brodie received a tender
of the office Jong ago; to take effect upon
the expiration ,-of .Governor. Murphy ! s
term, as a personal compliment from the
President. Governor Murphy and Colonel
Brodie. are.. on the- best- pf .terms, and
there is .no other man Governor Murphy
would prefer ¦ as . his successor.- On the
other hand,- Colonel Brodfe Is making no
move ¦ to hasten the action of the Gov
ernor. . • - • . ' \
