Mare Island Station Believes It Caught Arlington Message.
    VALLEJO, Cal., Nov. 1.— The Government wireless operators at Mare Island are certain that they were in communication Monday with the new station at Arlington, Va. A message was received, the contents of which indicated that Arlington was sending, but, owing to local disturbances, the signature was lost.
    No report of what may have been accomplished last night in the way of direct communication with Arlington was given out to-day at Mare Island.
