Wireless Telephones.
London Correspondence New York
World: For some weeks experiments
of great interest In wireless telephony
as distinguished from wireless teleg
raphy have been carried on near Car
navon by Sir William Pierce. Four
high poles have been erected at the
south end of Menal straits on a sand
bank across the Gwyrfal river. Half
a mile off four similar poles were
erected. Half a mile still farther is a
high pole supporting a coil of wire,
with one end anchored in deep water.
Between these points Sir William has
succeeded, without any intermediary
other than ether, in transmitting the
sound of a succession of taps. The
taps were made with a view to sending
messages by the Morse code. They
were distinctly heard at the receiving
station by placing a newly invented
ethereal telephone to the ear. Mes
sages were sent without interruption
for several days. Further experiments
are contemplated. So far the system
yields much more rapid results than
Marconi's, although the sounds are not
quite so distinct.

lust Keen Made Public That the Senator
Suffered a Slight Attack of the Same
Nature In Lincoln Last Winter Great
Sorrow Kxpressed In Washington Over
Mr. Ilayward'a Serious Illness.
Nebraska City, Nov. 10 Senator
Hayward'a condition tonight is not
much changed from yesterday. His
brother, Major E B. Hayward, of
Davenport, la., arrived this morning
and was recognized by the senator.
Dr. W bitten states that the pressure
is on the left side of tho brain just
over the speech center and extending
to the motor center of the right arm
and leg. These members are there
fore without feeling or motion. The
patient's temperature is 100, pulse G7
and respiration 23.
It has just been made public here
that Senator Hayward suffered a
slight attack of a similar nature in
Lincoln on the night that be was nom
inated in the republican caucus last
winter. He was hurried to bed by his
friends and by morning was able to be
up.
Washington, Nov. 10 Great sor
row is expressed in Washington over
the serious illness of Senator Hayward
and in seme quarters, especially among
the leaders of currency reform, con
sternation is shown over the possibil
ities that may arise should an ad
interim senator b3 appointed from
Nebraska. Chairman H. H. Hanna of
the Sound Money league is'especially
solicitous, as he had hoped that a cur
rency measure would pass congress
during tho coming session, but with
the small majority the republicans
have in both branches he has almost
given up hope that anything but a
makeshift in the way of currency
legislation will be attempted.

To Spend SCO, 000,000 on Oar Navy.
The United States has fallen into
line with Great Britain and Russia
Id wanting a new naval outfit that will
cost from $50,000,000 upward. Each
of the two last named countries says
It needs an extraordinary naval in
crease in order to keep pace with the
other. The United States wants $60,
000,000 worth of new outfits for our
navy because of the large and widely
scattered interests it has now to pro
tect. According to present plans our
navy now requires, or will require as
soon as they can be constructed, three
first-class battleships of 13,000 tons
displacement each, three armored
cruisers of 12,000 tons each, three pro
tected cruisers of 6,000 tons each, and
six unprotected cruisers of 5,000 tons
each. Our new navy needs greater
weight and speed, a minimum of
wood work, fewer thirteen-inch guns
and more secondary battery weapons.

The Innocent Convict.
On the very day when the Rennea
court martial returned a judgment of
guilty against Dreyfus there arrived
at Marseilles from Noumen a man who
Is known throughout France as "le
forcat innocenc" tbe innocent convict.
This is Benjamin Reynier, who was
condemned to death in 1883 on the
charge of having murdered a little
girl, and whose sentence 'vas commut
ed to Imprisonment for life. Not very
long after Raynier's conviction it was
found that he was innocent, and after
a long campaign in the press, which
was supported by M. Yves Guyot, and
several other deputies, President Lou
bet granted a full pardon. Reynier was
met at the wharf by his father and
mother, his brothers and sisters and
his finance, who had remained faith
ful to him for over sixteen ytT3, aud
who is now a gray-haired, elderly
