Elizabeth Williams Bead,
First Success Scored by the San Francisco Call Tuesday Night.
SAN FRANCISCO, April IS.—The first experiment ever made in the telegraphing of pictures for along distance was made by The Call Tuesday night, when an outline picture of the entry of the queen of the Fiesta at Los Angeles was wired from the latter place to this city. The experiment was successful. Charles Willougliby of this city is the inventor of this scheme.
The inventor believes his idea to be most valuable in newspaper work or in the police or secret service. If the success of the process is demonstrated he will establish agencies in this city, New York and Washington. A good picture can be sent at the cost of and in about the space of 250 words. It should, by au expert and if not too elaborate, take no longer than half an hour to send and reproduce a diagram.
The picture is drawn originally upon a paper ruled off into squares, each about one-tenth of an inch in diameter. Each vertical line is numbered along the upper margin and every horizontal line is lettered down the side. Every square is, therefore, identified with a number and a letter and its location is where the two lines designated cross each other.
With the original drawing before him, the operator describes the course of the lines from point to point, and the message contains only as many signs and combinations as there are changes in the directions in the lines forming the pictures. This description being received at the other end of the wire, the lines are simply reproduced on a similar ruled surface.

Bucliauan'ti Error Denied.
WASHINGTON, April 18.—Chief Justice Fuller, in the United States supreme court Wednesday, denied the application of Dr. Robert Buchanan, the New York wife murderer, for a writ of error.
