Gilbreath has made popular official.

NEW YEAR CALL BY WIRE. Uncle "Sa« WM Send New Y Around the World. fiVENING, DECEMBER 31, 1903 Omtlwi Washington, ©. C, Dec., 31.— Proiiiptly on the stroke of midnigbt tonight Uncle Sam will start a New Year greeting around the ".vorld. The army posts and naval stations of the United States in Hawaii, Guam, the Philippines, Porto Rico, Alaska and other parts of the world will receive the message, the sending of which is made possible by the* completion of the Picific cables and those in Alaska. In less than ten seconds this salute will completely encircle the globe and return to the starting point—the white, towering naval observatory on Georgetown Heights. This, at least, is the calculation of Lieutenant-Com mander Everett Hayden, the naval of ficer in charge of the observatory. The route of the message will be by tele graph to San Francisco and thence byj way of the new Pacific cable to Hono lulu, to Midway, to Guam, to Manila and to Hong Kong. Flashing up and down the entire eastern coast of Asia it will cross Sumatra, Borneo and Java to Australia and New Zealand. By the land route across Siberia it will be, flashed to Moscow and St. Petersburg, and there be taken up by the thick mesh of wires covering northern and: central Europe, passing London and at the same time spanning the coast of Africa. From Alexandria it will be shot 750 miles up the Nile, into the very heart of the dark continent. Leap ing out into the sea it will register it sejf in the isles of Madagascar and Kfanritius. From Lisbon to the Ma deiras and over the Cape Verde islands it will jump to Pferr.ambuco, Brazil, thence down into central Argentina and itp into Bolivia, across the Wind ward isles, the Lesser Antilles and the West Indies, and then home again to Washington. Over. i,r8o,obo miles of wire and cable will be utilized in transmitting the message. When the midnight sig nal reaches Chicago it will be an hour before the birth of the new year.
