" Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Oct. 4. Now that the sessions of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends are at an end, the work done Is viewed with great satisfaction by all concerned. It is agreed that this was the most successful gathering this Important body has ever had. This was largely due to the fact that the past year has been a prosperous one and has put the members in position to make liberal responses to the demands for money. There are two reasons for great rejoicing among the Friends. One is the lifting of the debt off the Yearly Meeting for the first time In nineteen years. This has hung like a millstone around the neck of the society, and many things that might otherwise have been accomplished, were not attempted, because of this debt staring the church In the face. Now that it is paid, the church is free to launch out along new lines. The second reason for great rejoicing Is the help that was given to Earlham College. Earlham Is the pride of Indiana Yearly Meeting and the heavy debt that the institution has labored under has been a cause of embarrassment. Now that such a good beginning has been made toward paying it off, all the friends of the college feet that a new era Is dawning for Earlham, as well as for the Yearly Meeting.

Bulletlns of the Yacht Race Flashed Through the Air. NEW YORK. Oct. 4.-Professor Marconi proved yesterday the practical value of his system of wireless telegraphy. By its use messages telling the progress and maneuvers of the racing yachta Shamrock and Columbia' were transmitted from two steamers keeping abreast of the rivals to the cable steamer Mackay-Bennett. and by simultaneous action to a land station on the Navtslnk Highlands. Professor Marconi was himself at the sending Instrument on board the government transport Ponce, offered him for the occasion by the War Department, which has been much. Interested in the experiment. The instruments on the Grand Duchess, the other Marconi vessel to follow the yachta down the course, were In charge of W. J. Clarke, one of the Inventor's assistants. The receiving operator on the Mackay-Ben-i:ett was Professor Bowden, and at Navesink Highlands W. W. Bradfleld, both of them close associates of the man who dared the test. The Mackay-Bennett, which lay anchored through the day close to the Sandy Hook lightship, the starting point of the race, was the chief medium in the transmission of Marconi messages to newspapers and telegraph offices ashore, although every message flashed to !t went also to the land station. An ordinary telegraph cable ran from the Mackay-Bennett to the shore and messages received one minute through the air were traveling the next through the water. tor the latter routine pending Morse operators were employed, but not a man was allowed In the Inner cabin, where the mysterious spluttering idarconl receiver was engraving meaning dots and dashes on strips of paper at the command of a force which leaped through space at distances varying from 500 feet to fifteen miles. Only two messages of a total averaging one in three minutes for a period of five and a half hours had to be repeated. To all others the Mackay-Bennett signaled O. K. Immediately the instrument ceased recording the dots. The story of the yacht race was told consecutively from start to finish and was bulletined in New York In a space impossible under ordinary conditions, the announcement being given the crowd in pome li stances in three minutes after the first transmission began. The absence of "fake" was demonstrated by the fact that official Information, conveyed in slower and accustomed fashion, was found to agree with the statements telegraphed by Professor Marconi. Sending and receiving apparatus on all three ships and at the Navesink Highlands station were essentially the same. A description of ona will suffice for all. The Mackay-Bennett for the occasion was furnished with an extra topmast, which was lashed to the mast already In position. On the top of this double-length mast was placed what appeared to be an arrow of metal. A wire ran down the mast and Into the cabin, where the receiving and transmitting apparatus was placed. The two poles were plainly visible, and when messages were coming the current could be seen passing from one to the other, the ark appearing to have a diameter of fully one-eighth of an inch. The noise was like that of a good-size! electric motor in operation. No part of the mechanism seemed to be of delicate order. In fact, the general impression was one of clumsy strength.

If the desire for peace he earnest and sincere an excellent opening is afforded by the Transvaal's acceptance of the Joint commission, a proposition emamatlng from the British government which.

New York Letter. The interesting thing about the Importation of gold, which ltas already begun, or will begin as soon as the consignment of $1,000,000, ordered yesterday, is shipped from Great Hritaln. is that It is made when the rates of exchange would apparently make the transaction not only protttless. but worse than profitless. Yet the bankers who procured this gold assert that It is a regular exchange transaction. According to precedents foreign exchange should have been quoted at least one point less than the quotations yesterday, in order to Justify Importatlona. This transaction Is another of several which tend to confirm some of the authorities here in the opinion that thers new conditions are being established andi that we cannot, as heretofore, predict tha course of gold simply by watching the exchange markets. Although there Is loroa difference of opinion, yet the general Impression is th&t this importation Is but tha beginning, and that between this time and the end of the year we shall probably hars brought from Europe not far from $30,(E0,C3 In gold In settlement of trade balances In our favor. We shall certainly 3o this unlets It Is discovered that our credits over thera can bring better profit by remaining the.ro than by being shipped to this country In ths form of gold. ins cnir cinn that dciid crn.
