WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY USED WHATIIKIt ntltKAU EX PK II I MUSTS OX THC ATLANTIC COAST. Arrangement üetween Cnnada nnd the United State for Reduction of I'ofttul Money Order Hates. WASHINGTON, April 3. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Yerkes has issued a comprehensive set of regulations governing special taxes of brokers, dealers, traders and taxes on transactions set out in Paragraphs 2 and 3 of Schedule A of the new revenue reduction act of March 2. 1001. These regulations are addressed 0 collectors of Internal revenue for whose guidance they are intended. They hold hroadl that a tax of $50 per annum is imposed on all persons and associations-' pretending to deal in grain, provisions, cotton and securities whose customers understand that settlements are to be made by differences and that the transactions are to be deemed terminated on certain prices being reached. Regular brokers and commefcial brokers paying taxes are such, whether members of an exchange or Board of Trade or not. must also pay the bucketshop tax heretofore mentioned where they have private wires running to their office elsewhere and do p. business in the nature of a bucketshop business incidentally to their regular business as legitimate brokers. Every person, association - or corporation mentioned in said paragraph must deliver to every party to each contract a written memorandum containing a special specification of the agreement to which before delivery shall be affixed a stamp denoting payment of a tax of 2 cents on each $1U0 face value covered or pretended to be covered by the transaction. No memorandum or tax are xequired on the settlement of these transactions. Attention is specially called to the fact that under Paragraph V. Schedule A. a tax of 10 cents must be paid on each memorandum of sale or contract of any goods, merchandise, stocks, bonds or exchange, brokers notes, notes of hand, real estate or other property issued by brokers, notwithstanding the law may not absolutely require any memorandum of the transaction to be made, this provision being applicable where tiie transaction evidenced is not taxable under any other provision of the law. WHIELUSS Ti:Li:(iHAPIIY. Satisfactory l-'xperlmeiitn Conducted by the Weather Ilureau. WASHINGTON, April 3. Prof. Willis L,. Moore, head of the Weather Bureau, has returned from an inspection of the wireless telegraph stations in Virginia and North Carolina, and has reported to Secretary Wilson the results of his observations. He found that the experimental work is piogressing satisfactorily between IIattera3 and Cape Henry, where elaborate plans have been laid out for important experiments. At Cape Henry an excellent plan has been established for the physical and mechanical development and investigation of the fundamental principles of wireless telegraphy. SJgnals are exchanging daily between these two stations, and messages can be transmitted at any time, though thero is no necessity for exchanging of messages as yet. These two stations are forty-seven miles apart, with no land between them, and the course Is regarded as nr. ideal one for the experiments. It is intended to keep this section for experimental nnd research work, which will be prosecuted vigorously throughout next summer. The next great problem to be solved, according to Chief Moore, Is the differentiation of the wireless message so that the message sent shall be read only by the station for which it is intended, and r.ot Interfered with by the crossing of n.essages for other stations. 3ioxi:v oitnint rati: hkdlceo. 4 Important Change That Will He of Great Benefit o Canada. WASHINGTON, April 3. An arrangement has Just been concluded between the United States and Canada under which all postal moneys sent between this country and Canada will bo at the domestic rate of three-tenths of 1 per cent, instead of the International rate of 1 per cent., as at present. This concession is regarded as more Important to the money order business than any action taken since the inception of the system. Negotiations had been in progress for some time between the respective postal administrations lookirg to the further unification of the postal systems of the United States and ('anacla with respect to the money order business, The money orders annually sent to Canada now aggregate about $2,0oo.(M) and in the other direction a little less than that amount. The exchange of these orders is now restricted to 4.oio offices in this country, but under the new arrangement will be extended to 30.000 offices in this country, any money order office in either country being thus authorized to lsue or pay them. It is expected that the radical reduction in the rate will treble the business. The reduction Is especially Important to business interests along the border. It is probable that similar arrangements will be made with the Philippines, Cuba and elsewhere. Fair Commissioners Take Oath. WASHINGTON. April 3. Kx-Senators Thurston, McBrlde and Lindsay, ex-Rcpre-sentatlve Allen, of Mississippi, and John 1 Miller, of Indiana, five members of the recently appointed St. Louis exposition commission, called upon tho President to-day.

Under the law the commission must organize at St. Louis, under the direction of the secretary of state, within thirty days after Its appointment. After leaving the White House the members of the commission took the oath of office at the State Department and received their commissions. SIlSCKLLAM-'ni'S NIWS.

Special to the In-llanapnlls Journal. XBW YORK, April 3.-The Tribune, this morning, publishes Interviews with a number of leading physicians of this city on the question of the use of alum baking powders. They all agree with Professor Vaughan, professor of hygiene In the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor; Prof. Charles V. Chandler, of the Columbia School of Mines; Professor Chittenden and other leading chemists and physicians who recently testified upon the subject before the committee of manufacturers In the United States Senate, that alum baking powders are Injurious. Among those seen, all of whom agree that alum In food is harmful, were Dr. William H. Thompson, president of the Academy of Medicine; Abraham Jacobs. Dr. George F. Shradv, Dr. Ralph Waldo. Dr. Henry Dwlght Chapin. Dr. Joseph E. Winters, Dr. Eggert Lafevre, Dr. Louis F. 151 -hop. secretary of the Academy of Medicine: Dr. George V. Foster, of the New York Hospital, and Dr. Cyrus LMson, formerly health commissioner here. Dr. Jacobs said: "Alum baking powders are harmful. There is no doubt about it." Dr. Thompson remarked: "The use of alum in baking powder is very injurious; 1 Jm positive of this. It has especially a tendency to produce rickets." Dr. IMson salfl. in part: "There Is no question that taking alum in bread frequently and for a long time, even in very minute quantities, would prove very injurious." Dr. Bishop said: "All admit that alum in food is injurious, and the best authorities state that bread made with alum is harmful, even if there Is no alum left in bread after baking, the residue from alum being itself Injurious or beirg reconstituted into alum in the stomach." Dr. Shrady said: "Alum used In food in any way is very deleterious; this is the opinion of the medical profession." The other leading physicians expressed substantially the same thoughts, and some urged that the manufacture or sale of baking powder containing alum should be prohibited by law. It has long been claimed that alum is harmful, and these prominent opinions ought to settle the matter In the minds of the public.

Srecial to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. April 3.-The Indiana miners and operators this afternoon concluded a three weeks conference by signing a wage contract for the year ending April 1, 19o2.

Instead of in the open market from the company that has been cutting the price for two years, in competition with the powder mill owned by come operators, and which company Is said to be an agency of the powder trust. The miners, in their own convention, had a stormy debate before the concession was voted by a slender majority. In turn the operators conceded an advance in the pay of the day laborers inside the mines from $2.10 to $2.25 a day, and recognized the United Mine Workers as controlling nearly all labor at the mine, Including engineers and blacksmiths on top, and the various classes of day labor inside the mine. Work will be resumed In the bituminouu Held of the State to-morrow, and the settlement, without doubt, will be followed by a like settlement in the block coal titld ot Clay county at once.

The action of the lumber dealers in joining with the alliance contractors has been nullified by the shipment of lumber to Muncle from other cities, five carloads being booked to arrive here from Indianapolis to-night. The warring contractors had the local lumber yards closed with a view of stopping all "contract" work and forcing the carpenters to sign their scale of 2S 1-3 cents for nine hours work on week days, eight hours work on Saturday and double pay for overtime; the carpenters to agree not to work for contractors not In the alliance for less than 35 cents per hour, and the journeymen to refuse to take work by contract unles they tirst Join the alliance. These rules the carpenters object to, and to-day decided to stand firm. In the meantime they will ship lumber here and work without the middle man, the contractor. On the other hand, the contractors have advertised for carpenters to come to Muncle and work for them at their scale. When this is attempted trouble can be looked for, as the naif hundred labor unions are with the carpenters. " Scale Accepted at Hartford City. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
