1t seems that Mr.. Edison has been very much
annoyed at the unfavorable criticisms upon his
electric light and in order to give to the public
something definite with regard to the merits of
his invention he recently invited a scientific in
vestigation. He wrote to Professor Barker, of
the University of Pennsylvania and president of
the American Academy for the Advancement of
Science. who selected as bis coadJutors in the
investigation of the Edison light Professor Ro-
land, OF the Johns Hopkins University, of Balti-
Princeton College. 1t was stipulated in ad-
gentlemen should be published, whether favor
able or not to the Edison light. The inyestiga-
tton has just been completed, after two weeks
dilgent labor, but the results are not yet given
out ALI the tests known to science have been
applied, and there will be two reports submit
ted. Professors Bracket and Young will con-
fine their report to the efficiency of the i'm
proved dynamo machines and generators, while
Professors Barker and Roland will report upon
the economy Of the light 1t is said that the
tests Of the dynamo machines developed for
them greater power than Edison claimed, but
this is not given as part of the forthcoming re-
port. Inasmuch as Edison announces prepare
lions to extend and enlarge his works and a
purpose to have 600 lights burning at one time,
very soon, it might be inferred that the forth
coming reports are not unfayorable to him. The
publication of these reports will be watched for
with interest, as the recognized ability and
character Of the scientific gentlemen who made
the investigation will give great weight to their
verdict upon the merits or dement's OF the ELL
son light.

There is sufficient doubt about the result of
the pending Parliamentary election In the Eng
fish kingdom to invest 1t with supreme i'm
portance. Everything else is forgotten for the
time being, and England, Ireland and Scotland
are convulsed by the same political agitation.
The liberals represent that their position with
the country has materially improved during the
last few days, and that their prospects are con-
tinually Frightening. They refuse to be put
upon the defensive, but, on the contrary, are
making most aggressive fight. Mr.. Gladstone
urges all elements OF opposition to the govern
ment to unite In this campaign, and he is exert
ing himself to bring about union of this kind.
Mean time money for electloneering purposes Is
being used freely and political excitement Is in
creasing. Gladstone's son has been nominated
IN hopeless race for Middlesex, and the first
act OF his friends and his fathers admirers was
to subscribe $4,000 TO pay the expenses of the
contest.
The conservatives have the advantage In the
contest of representing the national pride in the
matter OF maintaining the prestige of England
In the affairs OF Europe; while Gladstone and
the liberals are handicapped by the policy Of
peace and non-interference so distasteful to the
representative Briton. The prospect is that
the liberals will make some gains at the cleo
lions, but will not succeed In wholly wiping out
the conservative majority.

The strike OF railroad employees at East st.
Louis threatens TO seriously Interfere with the
transportation OF freight through that point
The twelve or fifteen railroads running to and
through St. Louis from the north and east all
occupy common yard, in East st. Louis. where
the tracks come together, near the approach to
the great bridge. The employees hold this yard
and refuse to permit the passage of trains
through 1t until their demand for an increase
OF wages shall be complied with. very unjust
feature OF the siege Is that some OF the roads are
paying the rates demanded, but the strikers
refuse to give them right Of way through until
all the Others shall comply. This blockade is
beginning to interfere with commerce at st.
Louis and other western points by cutting on
the supplies OF goods from the jobbing markets
just as retail merchants are buying. The effect
has been TO arouse the business men of st. Louis,
and the strikers are in danger of having to
fight not only the railroad companies but all
other business interests combined.

The London Times Of Saturday in an editorial
upon the Panama canal, shows its teeth In op-
position to the Monroe doctrine in a way that
Is construed by some as meaning that the Fog
Msh government is disposed to take q stand
against that doctrine. The Times says there is
no objection to the United States acquiring all
the power it wants over the Panama clnal by
subscribing the money to build It, but that "Jhe
Monroe doctrine, even in its most restricted
shape, was never admitted into the law OF ma
tons Its present application Is claim of In
definite szerainty from Mexico to Patagonia,
though throughout this vast region the govern
ment OF Washington exercises no power and
Acknowledges no duty to the populations which
1nhabit 1t. Europe could not recognize SO
gratuftous ademand." As this country asserted
the Monroe doctrine when In its infancy Of
strength and population, 1t Is not likely that 4,
VIII surrender the principle now In its robust
manhood, merely at the summons Of the Lon
don Times.

The Hendricks Boom i.

Mr. Hendricks has been formally entered In
the presidential race and whatever his strength
in other states may be, there is no doubt of his
support by the democracy OF Indiana. There is
no question but that the delegation from
Indiana to the Cincinnati convention Will be
Instructed to support Hendricks first, last
and all the time" and that these instructions
will be faithfully carried out. In organizing
the Hendricks club, in Washington, Saturday
evening, 1t was announced that one OF the chief
objects was to set Indiana's favorite son right
before the country upon the financial question.
In other words, to demonstrate that
his financial views are sound" This
Is an indication that Mr.. Hendricks
congressional supporters realise his weakest
point and will direct their attention to over
coming 1t. The position Indiana occupies as
the only democratic state in the north will en-
title Her to very respectful consideration at Gin
cinnati. 1t is urged in behalf of Hendricks
first, that Indiana is essential to democratic
success in the presidential election, and, second,
that he can certainly carry the state. The reply
TO this invariably is, that while it is conceded he
could carry Indiana he might lose New York,
another essential state, because of the doubt
entertained in the east Of the soundness of his
financial views. 1t is apparent now that the
Hendricks men intend to devote their efforts to
a removal Of this objection to their candidate.
They feel that they can safely count upon the
adherence OF the democrats Of Indiana, regard
less OF the financial question. Soft-money men
like voorhees, and hard-mone men like McDon-
aid join earnestly In working up the Hendricks
boom, and they can hold their respective
followers at home without any difficulty. There
lore the plan of campaign is to manufacture and
cultivate Hendricks sentiment In the east. 1t
is claimed for Mr.. Hendricks that he has never
uttered word that can be construed into SYM
patty with the financial heresies that prevailed
in the west. On the contrary. it is urged, every
utterance of his has been in favor of sound
money principles. In 1876 Tammany and all
the anti-Tilden democracy of New York joined
in support Of Hendricks, and made him their
candidate at st. Louis. They are ready now to
take him up again should any prospect of beat
ing Tilden with him appear. If Hendricks
friends can convince the democrats of the east
that he Is a safe and sound man financially he
may, backed by the unwavering support of his
own state become formidable candidate for
the nomination.

Blaine the S~trongest.

New YoRx. February lG.-Ssnator
Jones states that the use Of his name a.
. Trustee Of the proposed new Mining
Board was without his knowledge or
consent. and that he had notified the
promoters OF the scheme that he could
not act as Trustee, and to discontinue
the use Of his name. BE knows nothing
about the proposed effort to establish
the Board. takes NO interest In II, and
evidently has no faith In Its future.
While favorable to Grants nomination
for President, the Senator thinks Blaine
IL the stronger msn. As for Sherman,
he considers that his nomination would
be fatal to the cause Of the Republican
party.
Senator Booth says Congress will do
nothing this session. The Republicans
are satisfied with the present situation,
and no are the Democrats. he thinks
Blaine would be Q stronger Presidential
nominee than Grant. and gives as . rea.
son the very considerable prejudice
against a third term. Many Republicans
would be dissatisfied, and their discon-
tent might prove fatal. On the other
hand. Blaine Is exceedingly popular and
would arouse an enthusiasm, the unity
Of which would insure victory. He
thinks Grant'sI friends will place him
before the convention on the same
plane as the other candidates. and will
make q direct fight ~tosecurs for him the

Blaine About TO Boom.

WASHINGTON. February 10. - The
Blaine movement will soon be actively
begun. A club will be organized here
in . day OF two for the purpose Of form.
ing a nucleus for the campaign. Blaine
himself has gone to New York. and 1t Is
no. improbable that his visit there will
have the effect to prevent tho fulfllment
OF Conkline's prediction to instruct FOR
Grant. Blains's friends here under.
stand that the object Of his visit to Now
York Is to ascertain how formidable the
Grant movement Ia and whether IL will
be practicable to undertake to interfere
with the workings OF the Conkling ma
chine. Each day disclosss new facts
which make 1t seem moro certain that
Illinois Is to be considered the pivot
State in the Blaine campaign. The FIRST
demonstration for Blaine in Illinois will
be made Mt the meeting Of the State
General Committee In Chicago February
%. A gentleman very familiar with the
workings Of the committee expects fully
1000 Blaine men to be In Chicago at the
time. The purpose Of Blains's friends
is to have some skilled speakers advocate
Blains's causs.

A Dinner to Senator Jones.

New YoRx. February 15.-E1.SenatoI
Dorsey gave q dinner to Senator Jones
at D elmonico's last evening. The gather.
ing, considering the number Of distin-
guished gentlemen and active politicians
who were present. was o OF the most
remarkable ever assembled In this city.
The Times says: The large bsnqusting
hall was draped in bunting and the table
presented o marvel OF decorative skill.
Each Of the 81 guests was presented
with a memento Of the dinner In the
form Of an elegantly designed menu, I'm.
ished in gold and having on the opposite
leaf an eagle. On the back Of the card,
which was covered with satin, the guests
name was printed in large letters run.
ming triangularly across the satin. A
more elegant bill Of fare was never pro-
duced. even by Delmonico.
The Senator responded to the senti.
ment in his honor In one Of his peculiar
after.dinner speeches. which always
make him q welcome addition to any So
cial gathering. Brief addresses followed
each other rapidly from Senator Conk.
ling, Senator Blaine. Chauncey II. Do.
pew aud others. and It was nearly mid.
night before the party separated.

Cameron has within . few days talked
very plainly to his friends In regard to

convinced before the convention that he

In vi-w Of the shape things took. II IL
had not been necessary in order to pre-.
vent his (Cameron's) defeat. To avoid
this. he had the help Of quite . number

A Mine at Lake Tahoe,
Trnekee RepuLiienn, Feb. Il.

Truekee Republican, FEB. IL.
Capt. W. W. Lapham, Of the steamer
Governor Stanford. came from below
yesterday ON his way to Tahoe. The
Captain has been below on business In
regard to an important mine which he
located last January on the other side OF
the lake. It IL called the General Grant
and has been ineorporated-ths capital
stock being fIed at 81. 0OO. 600. divided
into 100. 900 shares. Different specimens
from this mins have assayed as follows:
No. 1, $36l6; No. q. $30l6 ; No. 3.
$500 No. 4, 1924. But OF course
these are very rich specimens, and not
an average. Out Of ten pieces OF rock
picked out promiscuously, tho average
was $l07, which shows q remarkably
rich mine. An excitement II likely to
start up In the spring.
