HAWAII HA VEN PEARL IIARIIOR DISCLOSED BY It CAR ADM I UAL "WALlvEIL He Sar It Is One of the Finest In the Vijorld A Consul' Report on Artificial Silk Muklnff. WASHINGTON, Sept 3. Hear Admiral Walker, who Is In the city for the purpose of laying before the Navy Department the information acquired by him In his recent trip to the Hawaiian Islands, speaking today of the affairs in the Islands, said: "Everything was quiet at Honolulu when I left there In August, and there was no prospect of an outbreak. The new republican government seems to be firmly established and thoroughly competent to take care of itself unless there is Interference from the outside. Pearl river harbor, where it Is proposed to establish a United States coaling station. Is one of the finest harbors In the world, and la large enough to accommodate all the ships afloat. All it wants Is the removal of a little bar at its entrance. This bar is all sand, and can be easily taken out In a reasonable time nnd at small expense. It was thoroughly surveyed while I was there by Max Wood, one of our officers." ? "How about annexation?" "Oh, I cannot say anything on that subject, except that the sentiment among the people for annexation to the United States still appears to be very strong. By the way, Honolulu 13 a moat charming place, and I had a most delightful experience there. When shall I take charge of the Naval Academy? Well, that depends altogether on circumstances. I will have to remain in Washington for aome time for the purpose of conferring with the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Navy in regard to affairs in Hawaii. They may want more Information than I have given them la my report. How long that will keep me here I don't know. But the probabilities are that I shall not go to Annapolis much before the beginning of the next term, early in October." ARTIFICIAL SILK. Swiss Invention Described liy Consul Claude Meeker. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-CUude Meeker, consul at Bradford, England, has sent to the State Department a report upon the attempts that are now being made to manufacture artificial silk. His report contains some very interesting points upon the progress "made. He says that a company is now being promoted in Bradford tor the manufacture of artificial silk. Patents have been taken out in the United States and It is proposed to establish a company in this country for the purpose of selling rights. The inventor of the process is Dr. Frederich Lehnor, of Zurich, Switzerland. "If the fond hopes of the inventor." says Consul Meeker, "are realized the princely position of the silk worm is usurped. In order to mike the usurpation more complete a false work of glass, spinning a thread which Is wound In an artilicial cocoon, is fetehed upon the scene. At the ortica of the company In this city there is shown daily the 'spinning frame In operation, and one can see the liquid contents of a pot on top of the frame turned instantaneously before his eyes into what appears a pure silken yarn or thread. Samples of yarn, furnituie frames and braids, brocaded silk handkerchiefs, ponceei, gimus. sewing silk. etc.. dyed in a great variety of shades, were Inspected and handled by many gentlemen well able to estimate their commercial value, and the Kenercl opinion as to the brilllancv of the enVcts produced was favorable. The artificial silk materials will stand washing and ironing without losing their luster or without anv impairment of their colors. "It should be stated that the manufacturers and textile experts of Bradford, have no confidence in the usefulness and the practicability of the new process. It was offered to the Mannlnham silk mills (Lister & Co.). the largest silk manufactory in England, before it was introduced to the general public, but they declined to recognize its utility. I have questioned a dozen other whose experience in the .trada ought ta make their opin

ions valuable and they have, without exception, stated their belief that the invention would not prove a success." Conn "Will Desert Indiana. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.

Carlos Urfutla Discnsses tlio Causes Leading to tho General's Flight. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3. The case of Gen. Antonio Ezeta, of San Salvador, is ready for hearing before Judge Morrow, "in the United States District Court, on Tuesday. It Is probable that Carlos Urrutla, formerly private secretary to Carlos Ezeta, the deposed President of the republic, will be one of the chief witnesses for Antonio during these proceedings. He has arrived from Now York, and has paid a visit to General Ezeta at the latter's hotel.- The General received Urrutia cordially, knowing that he brought word from Carlos, who is now in Europe. In an interview the ex-secretary stated that Carlos left New York about the middle of July for Faris, where he will remain a short time, and then will reside permanently In Madrid. Secretary Urrutia said that one of the immediate Incentives of the late revolution was because President Ezeta made the law prohibiting the Introduction of silver into the republic. It was his Intention to place gold on the same basis, but a strong protest was made by the wealthy agriculturists; furthermore, the Salvadorians, who are mostly of the Catholic religion, made a vigorous fight against a law granting absolute divorce. During the revolt at Santa Anna one of the leaders, said Senor Urrutia, was Francisco Purtado. who had a business transaction with President Ezeta, to whom Purtado owed $30,000. Purtado being unable to pay the money. .Ezeta seized his property. This caused ill feeling on the part of Purtado, and he vowed vengeance. Purtado saw his opportunity, and immediately made war aga'nst the Ezetas. and during the revolution was made commander of thestronghold of Santa Anna. During the revolution, notwithstanding that Honduras and Nicaragua had promised to not interfere with them one way or another, both governments broke their promise and allowed men to be sent out to help the rebels. On May 3, after Ezeta had gone to the front with a large army, and when he was wounded, the command of the army rested on Gen. Ieon Botanos. But a report was soon circulated that Antonio Ezeta had died and that caused the demoralization of the army. President Carlos, seeing no hope for victory, left Salvador with his Minister of War, a number of officers and his secretary, on July 3, for Panama, and then to New York. Speaking of Gen. Antonio Ezeta and his staff, Senor Urrutia states that they are quite confident that the United States government will not return them to Salvador. The ex-Vice President says that if he is liberated he will visit New York, and then he will go to Mexico, where he Intends to live, being on friendly terms with President Diaz. tenor Urrutia states that he has received a safe conduct from President Itafael Gutierrez to return to h!js native land, but for the present he Will remain in this city to await the fate of Antonio Ezeta. For "nearly seven years Urrutia served the government of Salvador and wa s ex-PresMent Ezeta's dearest friend during the latter's administration. When the President was defeated he left Salvador. The young man followed and left him In New York. PKLCE KOMATZU. Hurrying: Back to Japan After Studying: Modern Jlethois of Warfare. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3. Prince Komatzu, a cousin of hi Majesty, the Emperor of Japan, has arrived from the Hast, accompanied by N. S. Nagasaki, his chamberlain. The Trince registered as Count Mishima, of Tokio. "He has been traveling Incognito," explained the chamberlain, "for the reason that he does not desire to be received with all the ceremony people might wish to bestow upon a member ot the imperial family." The father of Prince Komatzu is the uncle of the present Emperor of Japan, which makes his connection with the Imperial family very close. He was edu cated abroad, and speaks English and ' irencn nuentiy and dresses in the latest French fashion. A year ago he was sent to Europe by the Japanese Emperor to study the methods of modern warfare as pursued by the nations of Europe. He passed through America by way of Vancouver and Montreal in August of last year, and has since been pursuing the duties of his mission to France. He says that he was on the point of projecting a trip from Marseilles through the Mediterran?an and Red seas to India, and from tne Asiatic coast to Japan. When he heard that war had been declared he decided to hasten home without los3 of time, and decided to come by way of America because it was the quickest route. A FATAL SCUFFLE.

APPEAL FOR ASSISTANCE Proclamation Is mnl by the Governor of the Afflicted btate. Experiences of Survivors of the Illfated Train Forest Fires In Wisconsin, Michigan and Elsewhere. ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 3. The Pioneer Press, which has a la re nd reliable force of staff and regular correspondents in the Hre-swept districtof the State, says: The latest verified reports of the number of dead do not materially alter the former estimates. In fact, that estimate Is proving remarkably exact, considering" the confusion of the first day. One element that makes close figuring, very difficult -is the fact that bodies seen In the woods and along the track are not infrequently reported to two points and sent out from each as among its dead. Then, too, the tendency of the occasion, bad as it Is, is to exaggeration. However, eliminating these doubtful elements as far as possible from its approximation, the Iioneer Press is convinced that the total is as nearly exact as possible. The number of dead at Hinckley is placed at two hundred. One. of the paper's correspondents has actually counted 191 of these,' and the margin allowed about all that is necessary. The figures are as follows: Hinckley , '. 200 Sundfttone ivz Miller is lletwecn Skunk Lnkenml Miller 111 rnkeKiuuu us In lumber rumps mill scattering (cm tl in a ted) .' 50 Total no-l To-day's details simply confirm the re ports received yesterday as to the magni tude of the Hinckley disaster. The most conservative estimates of the dead In the six or eight towns in Pine county is. 351, as shown above, and from that figure go up to 1,000. Although the exact number of dead will never be known, enough Is known to make this one of the most appalling dis asters in American history. More have per ished, but never so marly In so terrible a manner. As to property loss, all thoughts have been of death and few could be made to talk about their business losses. It is probable the loss at and around Hinckley will exceed $2,000,000, although no careful estimates have yet been made. Nor can they be made where all papers and records have gone up In the same fiames that so quickly devoured all the houses, the veg etation and almost the land In a large sec tion of Pine county. P.ains to-day cleared the air somewhat from smoke, but were not heavy enough to entirely quench the fires, which would break out on slight provocation If they had aught to feed up on. Of the fires across In Wisconsin less ia known here up to midnight, but there has been no loss of life reported, and it is hop-d all is over.

One of the correspondents of the Pioneer Press at Pine City says: Words cannot tell the story of death and destruction that i revealed to the traveler on the St Paul & Duluth railroad from Mission Creek to two miles above the little town of Miller, or Sandstone Junction. The scene of desolation which strikes the eye of the observer as he reaches the camp wWch was once the town of Hinckley is stUl more strongly impressed on his vision as he Journeys northward. This morning the smoke had lifted, revealing a landscape bare and black, the few standing trees being . charred to a height of forty feet, , while the ground was of that peculiar tint of brown sand mixed with gunpowder, for the grass had been burned even to the roots. Here and there in the bleak and dreary stretches of country in what is now a great lone land was seen the body of a deer, whose fleet feet had not been able to outrun the flames, or of a human being who had been absolutely powerless against the grim destroyer. The correspondent accompanied Judge Nethaway, of Stillwater, and the members of a relief party which started on a handcar loaded with provisions to relieve the people of Sandstone, who were k reported lh great distress. Two miles above Hinckley they found lying by the trunk of a tree the body of a man which was evidently that of a lumberman. The relief party proceeded as far as Skunk lake, vrtiere the Duluth limited train was burned. Here was found engineer Williams, In charge of a gang of men, rebuilding the burned bridge. From them it was learned that the living at Sandstone had been taken'.to Duluth by special trains on Sunday hlght, and their pressing necessities relieved, so that the help from Pine City was not needed. The party therefore resolved itself Into one of search for bodies of victims of the disaster. The house of John Robinson was near Skunk lake, in the edge of the woods, and the family fwught refuge in the cellar. There was no escape from the fire, and the party found the bodie3 of John Robinson and his wife, Mary Robinjon, their eldest daughter and two smaller children. All the clothing was burned from ' the bodies, but the victims had evidently Taeen suffocated before the flames reached them. The hands of the oldest daughter were up raised with palms together in an attitude of prayer. Within six hundred yards of the spot where engineer Root stopped his train a long trench, running from the little body of water which proved a place of safety for the passengers on the limited, to a svamp on the lake. Following along thi3 trench, the party came upon the partially clothed body of a man, who . In personal appearance corresponded to the description of General Passenger and Freight Agent Otto Rowley, of the Duluth & Winnipeg railroad. An examination of the dead man's shirt' collar showed the name, O Rowley, and it is supposed that he was a passenger on the limited, and In taking to the ditch expected to reach the lake Other bodies found by the party were ise of a man and a woman who had evidently fled from a farmhouse near by, and the bodies of two men who are supposed to have been passengers on the burned train. SUCCORED BY A YARDMASTER. Yardmastcr David Williams, of Duluth, is something of a hero himself. He is the man who grasped the situation, acted on his knowledge promptly and relieved the people of Sandstone. He rrceived a message from Miller last night which said: "There are 150 people at Sandstone without food pr shelter. For God's sake get them out of there." Within an incredibly short time an engine, in charge of yardmaster Williams, was on the way to Sandstone. The entire road after the burned district was reached was patrolled and the encrine kept up a continual whistling so that any persons who might be near the railroad would come at once to the track. When the train arrived at Sandstone Junction, or Miller, as it Is generally called. It was met by nearly the entire population of Sandstone and Miller. The depot platform at Miller had been burned and there was not a house left standing anywhere In view. About 170 people were taken aboard and a messenger was sent to Sandstone," who informed the people of th arrival of relief. . Very few remained, and they were those with loved ones lying dead. No one was burned seriously who was not fatally injured. There was no attempt to care for the dead, who lay scattered with irregularity through the streets of the town. Everything Inflammable at Sandstone was destroyed, and today's investigations brought the number of dead at that place tip to sixty-two, with twenty-one people missing. Mr. Webster, the father of Mayor Lee Webster in this town, was among the dead, and this afternoon Mr. Webster went to Sandstone to bury his father and mother. The scene at Sandstone as described by Mr. Webster, was heartrending. The streets of the town were only lines of sand between heaps of. ashes. Within these lines lay forty bodies scattered at random, and twenty-two more were found afterward in the outskirts of the town and alonir the hollows and marshes towardi the river bank. The bodies were lying exposed to .the sun and rain alike and were rapidly becoming decomposed. They were identified as far as possible and will be buried to-morrow. The Duluth people are looking after the care and- relief of the people on the line north of Hinckley. They are doing their woik well and will see that no one of the living is allowed to suffer for lood or clothing. One of the marvelous circumstances of the occasion is the escape of so many cattle and horses. Many were absolutely un-

acorched thoutrh no one can explain how

they escaped the ordeal of fire. Others were mtifullv burned, and steps are tard ily belnff taken to put them out of their misery. A company of militia went out and killed one ox this afternoon. The ani mals were without food until late tms afternoon, when the relief train brought up some hay, and the cows were In great suffering, not having been milked for two days. To-morrow morning the carcasses cf the dead animals, which are becoming very offensive, will be put out of the way by burial or burning. . IHRYINC. THE DEAD. Sorrorrfnl and Sickening Scenes la the lllnckeued Towj. PrNE CITY, Minn., Sept. 3. The night was a gloomy one here. The hospital patients demanded the attention of the physicians all night, and the on!y druggist in Pino City was kept busy until daylisrht filling prescriptions and supplying lotions, for most of the Injuries were burns more or less serious. By morning all were In a state of comparative comfort, and there were none whose hurts were deemed fatal. Among the good citizens of Pine City who had opened their homes and public buildings to their stricken neighbors all was bustle and. activity. The town hall was kept open all night and provisions served to all comers. The schoolhouse. and many a private home was thrown open. Every blanket in town was called into service. The women and children were given the better quarters. Before daylight the town was astir. Arrangements for relief , of the destitute further up the line, where hundreds of men, women and children wen not only homeless,' but absolutely without a scrap of food or bedding or extra clothing, were taken, up where they were dropped at night. The appointed committees met and got their work well In hand. Before 1 o'clock in the morning the construction train, loaded with bridge material for the repair of the bridge across GrtnC3tone river at Hinckley, came up from Rush City. A couple hundred loaves of bread and other light provisions were placed cn board In charge of Judge J. C. Nathemy, of Stillwater, representing the relief committee. A party of laborers to dig graves and inter the bodies was collected and the train proceeded Into the burned cou..tryi At Hinckley the provisions were loaded on a hand car manned .by judge Nathemy and a volunteer crew ,and a start was made across the shaky bridge to Miller, one mile further north, where aid was given the needy. About 11 o'clock the bridge was sufficiently repaired to admit the passage of a train, and an engine, freight car and caboose, with a plentiful supply of food and a meagre store of coffins, In charge of undertaker- O'Halioran, of St. Paul, was sent north. At Hinckley the visible situation had not materially changed nor improved over night. The thirty 6r forty caskets ard boxes with' their gruesome contents still lay alongside the track where they were placed last night No attempt had been made to dress or embalm the bodies and they were already growing very offensive. Fortunately the day was cool and cloudy and grateful showers fell at Intervals during the forenoon. The remains of the dead, however, were in such a horribly blistered and burned condition that decomposition rapidly set In. Undertaker J. G. Donnelly, of St. Paul, was on the ground and he advised that the bodies be buried as rapidly .as possible. Every attempt at identification had been exhausted. From the bodies by the track the officials of the St. Paul & Duluth road had removed and carefully preserved every trinket and article of Jewelry and even shred3 and scraps of clothing, placing those from each bodies Into a receptacle numbered like the casket, so that. If possible, when the relatives return they may recognize and know whether their friends have been interred. IN THE LITTLE CEMETERY. Out in the little cemetery a mile east of town was a scene which words are powerless to describe. At best the little spot would be as dreary as could well be imagined. It is on top of a rough, sandy knoll, where nature Is seen at her worst, and absolutely no attempt toward artificial embellishments has ever been made. There were only a few little sandy unsodden mounds before. Now with the blackened, fire-scoured stumps and fallen trunks of trees all about. It presented an appearance of desolation hard to describe. But In the center of the opening was the crowning horror. In an Indiscriminate heap lay more than ninety corpses, men, women and children. Some burned to a crisp, others only browned by the heat, and none with a fragment of clothing larger than a man's hand to conceal its awful nakedness. Seme were mere trunks, the extremities having been burned off. Some were bloated uittil the abdomen had cracked open. Skulls were burned open and brains exposed, and all were twisted and cramped in the agony of the death that had overtaken them. A force of men was quickly at work dig ging a shallow trench along the south end of the cemetery. The sandy, soil was hard as flint. It had been baked to a crust by weeks of drought, and almost solidified by the fire. The work progressed slowly. On! in the corner of the clearing two smaller graves were being dug. One was for Mrs. William Grisinger and her two baby girls Caroline, aged six, and Mabel, aged three. The husband and father had recognized them in the heap and was hard at work preparing for them a flnai resting place apart from the trench designed for. the un identified, his labors dulling for a time the acuteness of his anguish. The other grave was for the Best family, whose name3 make their destruction notable even In this time of death. John Best, Jr., was digging the pit, with the friendly assistance of two neighbors. Laid in a row, recently cov ered, were the bodies of John Heat, sr.. Mrs. Best, Fred Best, aged twenty-three; Bertha, aged seventeen; Mrs. Annie Wie gel, a married daughter, and her three-year-old daughter Minnie; Miss Annie Truttman, of Diamond Bluff, Wis., a visitor, aged twenty-six, and Victor Best, aged eight. Two other sons, George, aged twen ty-flve, and Willie, aged twenty-one, are missing, and are certainly dead. And of this whole family of three generations only the sorrowing grave-digger and his wife and child are alive. The only others of these ninety odd who were recognized were Charles Anderson, cashier of the bank; Mrs. William Glnder and her daughter, Winifred, aged six. One or two others were imperfectly identified, but it was largely guesswork. Enough rude boxes were knocked together from rough boards to contain most of these bodies, and they were raridly laid away under the sand, but not before other bodies began to come In. In the swamp across the Grindstone, where these- corpses were found yesterday, were about thirty others, which wera brought in this morning, making a total of 130 dead In this little space of four or five acres. Down near the river was found the body of Thomas Dunn, the Duluth operator at Hinckley. Dunn was born and reared here, and was a universal fa voriti. He stuck to hl3 key until the dejot was burning over his head. The delay in locating his body led hU friends to hope that he might have escaped, but thU morning-, the finding of his blackened corpse put an end to all uncertainty. Up the SL Paul &. Duj luth right of viay were found thre or four more bodies. Among those who perished north of town was, Mr. Erlcksan. of No.

310 Polk street, N. Minneapolis', who was here visiting his pon. He went out in a wa$on with David Kane, of Hock Crrik, also a visitor here, and loth. p rlshed, though the horses came out unscathed. None of the citizens of rine City who volunteered their al l in the work of relief more than F. G. Weber. He took enttr charge of the work at the cemetery, and kert at the hideous work until all that could be dene was accomplished. Not until nightfall were his labors over, ani during that time he had a succession of relays of men under him. for many sickened and hr.dr to give It up. The work progressed slower than need have been the . case had Mr. Weber's working force been adequate. As It was sixty-five unidentified dead were Interred In the trenches, fifty-sir mora were put in boxes and thirteen were buried by their friends, making a total of 134 bodies handled at the cemetery- Mr. Weber says he has reports of fifty-one bodies all ready for burial to-morrow, and this number will grow every hour. The bodies found after

to-morrow must be burled where found. It will be impossible to move them, as Ui. are literally falling to pieces. "A PLAcn or MOl KXING. Hinckley Visited by n. Correspondent -Rain Follovrrd by Wind. HINCKLEY,-' Minn., Sept. S.-A gentle rain fell this morning and dampened the embers of the forest fires tnat did no much) damage In Hinckley Saturday afternoon and night. The blackened ruins of two or three buildings 1 all that rvmalns standing of the once prosperous tow a with its one thousand population and Its busy rallroid . and lumbering interests. The town is the Junction point for the St Paul & Duluth and the Eastern Minnesota railways, and both these roads have suffered losses that . cannot now be estimated, while the loss to the timber interest is something beyond computation. This is to-day a place of mourning, and the burial of the charred and unrecognizable bodies of hundreds of victims has saddened the survivors even more than the disaster itself. The fire was so overwhelm ing in its devastation that no one in the burnt territory could for the moment realize how great was their loss. Each was so Intent on saving his own life that Uttla thought was given to the disaster in r?n1?ral by most, although many cases of heroism have been reported. The bodies thus far recovered have been plrced la rough pine" boxes for burial, and the inajorIty of them h'ave been buried'without identitlcatlon. The wires that were down this side of Pine City have been put in shape, so that the operator is able to send his report rs he sits on an empty keg In the open air, there being no shelter of any kind in the town. Most of the survivors wnt to Pins City yesterday for food and shelter, and. the women and children are still there, tut many cf- the men returned to ihelr rulnei homes to st if by any possibility anything r?malns. The correspondent took a five-mile tramp in the woods this morning througti a Been of desolation rarely seen by the eye ot man. The country' is swept clean. There Is but one settler's -hou?e standing withinj an unknown radius of miles. It is that of Mike Dean on the edgo- of the river thre miles east of town. It was a new houso ani very, substantial. Dean and a neighbor fought the fire until they had to abandon hope. They got the women and 'children Into the water, covering their head.l with cloths kept wet by da sain JT water" over them. When the fire had passed they came out unhurt and were much surprised to find their building standing. This morning when the correspondent entered the clearing theJiouse dog barked as Favagely and the rooster crew as loudly as if they had not come within an ace of death. A hand-car party this m6rnlng located eleven bodies, swelling the total of those found along the track between Hinckley and Skunk Lake to above fifty. Near one of the bodies, evidently that of a passenger on the ill-fated train, was found a letter addressed to Michael Schrumskl, Chicago, and a charred business card bearing, the same name. Three other bodies were probably those of passengers on the train. Another was a young man, a splendid ppecimen of physical manhood, and from his clothing and high laced boots apparently a prospector or cruiser. The other five were the family of a rettler named John Robinson, consisting of himself, three women and an infant. Above Skunk Lake the work train reported twelve bodies on the right of the road, presumably passengers. The most sorrowful feature of the horrible fatality at Hinckley Is the thought that had the rttuatioh been realized In time not a single life among the residents of th town need have been lost. The Great Northern gravel pits, where only a hundred sought safety, is ten acres in extent, broad enough, and .long enough and derp enough to have sheltered every soul In Hinckley and also their domestic animals There Is a pool of water of considerable depth there. The bottom is bare of grass or shrubbery, and there was no inflammable material near the brink on the side from which the fire came. Those who- did seek the pit passed the hours of their enforced imprisonment in comparative comfort. This morning a detail of twenty regulars from Fort Snelling. under command of Captain Hale and Lieutenant McCoy and an army surgeon, came In from St. Pau. They brought some tents, but, finding that Adjutant-general Muhlberg had tnt up Pfl State tents, the regulars turned in and put up fifty of them for the refugees with regular army expedition. The local physicians were about played out and there was abundance of work for the army surgeons. , In the afternoon, following the rain, s strong breeze swept up from the south and soon the flames which had been quenched and smoldered by the morning showers were t ln fanned to a blaze and hundreds of columns of smoke began to ascend from the woods. The fire will not be out for many days unless there are heavy rains, but there Is no danger, as the underbru?h is burned out clean and there Is no possibility of another spread. The Intensity and Insatiability of the fire can be seen fro:n the fact that road fills where lops were burned under several feet of earth are eaten out, the fire working its way through water under the entire width of the roaL The busiest point at Hinckley at mon was the Associated Pres teI-RTaph ofllce. It was not much of an office, but It sufficed to serve the public with the Associated Press report, the only rress report sent out of Hinckley to-day. The wins wera broJjrht down to a burned stump of a tree. A dry goods box near by servtd as the operator's desk. Another box mads him a seat. A spike held down th cj-y In the breeze. The correspondent had a like homely desk and sat on a. beer fce;. An occasional shower blurred the copy, but It was rapidly fed to the e.ij.rr wire despite the discomforts of the occasion.
