LATE NEWS ITEMS.

WASHINGTON dispatches of the sth
say the conference between the Republican
and Democratic Caucus committees as to
Senate organization failed. The Democratic
committee stated they had no authority to
enter into a consideration OF the question Of
the election of President OF the Senate; that
their caucus insisted on the right of the
Democrats to elect that officer. The Repub-
leans then proposed TO confer in relation to
the entire organization of the Senate. The
Democrats declined TO consider the Presi-
dency OF the Senate as n question at issue
and the Republicans refused TO hold con-
ference. The Democratic Caucus n0mina-
mated Senator Bayard for President; the
Republican Caucus, Senator Edmunds.
THE arrival of Roscoe Conkling at
the National Capital and his prolonged con-
ference with the President was the subject

TELEGRAMs to Santa Fe, N. NJ, say a

Indians seemed to have made the attack on

fusion, and were retreating. The bodies OF
five line-repairers were seen near the track,
shot through the head.
NEAR Clinton, Iowa, on the Sth, a
passenger train dashed into heavily laden
freight car at a crossing, throwing it on to
the platform of the station. j. j. Flanagan,
the agent, and Arthur Cuddy, a lad of IS,
were killed and three other bystanders more
or less injured.
G.. w. FREEMAN, carpenter, 10
years old, met death on the cowcatcher of a
fast train leaving jefferson City on the Sth.

A DISPATCH from Denver, Colo, says
controversy took place over the telegraph
wires between J. s. Mcbride, operator at
Glorietta, and Jack Hardy, operator at Levy
Station. The latter went to Glorietta and
called on Mcbride about midnight for the
purpose OF revenge. Hardy was found on
the floor Of the telegraph office fatally shot.
Mcbride is missing, and the shooting is sup
posed TO be justifable. >A'-''

Cyclones are observed to extend
over q circle from one hundred to five
hundred, OF sometimes one thousand
miles in diameter. In the West Indies
they are sometimes as small as one hum

hundred and one thousand miles on
reaching the Atlantic. They sometimes,
however, contract, increasing greatly in
violence during the process. !
Prof. Hutchinson has, in one Of his
lectures, mentioned very interesting
fact ascertained in Berlin. Among Ro-
man Catholics, who prohibit marriages
between persons who are near blood
relatives, the proportion of deaf-mutcs
is in 5000; among Protestants, who
view such marriages as permissible, the
proportion is in 1000; while among
Jews, who encourage intermarriage with
blood relations, the deaf-mutes are as l
in 400.
Eggs, says NJ. Arsonval, during the
first days of incubation absorb much
heat. This process is accompanied by
an absorption of oxygen and an album
dant liberation of carbonic acid. During
sleep animals absorb much oxygen and
evolve little heat, the emission of car
bonic acid varying very little. Animals
are not merely the seat of oxidations and
conclusions. Every living being is, at
the same time, reducing apparatus
which effects synthesis. M. diol
1t was the discovery Of sheet-iron
rolling in 1928 which gave the great im-
petus to the tin-plate trade in England.
The manufacture of timed sheet iron
had been introduced there from the con-
tinent in as early as 1870, but it had not
become established until about half
century later. and for many years the
English continued to import plates from
Hamburg, to which they now send thou.
sands of boxes annually. The Cont
mental and early English tin-plates were
hammered, not rolled.

He says Mr.. Edison has one of the finest,

The Siemens Brothers, of Berlin, who

also a fine exhibit. The electric rail-
road, as laid in Berlin and Paris, is a
perfect success. az think" said Mr..
White, sit will create a revolution
before long. The elevated railroads
must soon adopt that system, for 1t does
away with the wear and tear Of the
heavy engines. Siemens Brothers are
preparing to establish a new road in
Berlin about four miles long. The only
apparatus the car carries is carried in a
box underneath the floor about three
feet long, three feet broad and eighteen
inches high. The car stops and starts
as easily as horse-car, and runs at the

number under investigation now is about
thirty. The amount of money involved will
reach into the millions, when the amount
paid and to be paid is considered. or
course the prosecution will extend to those
who have fraudulenty received pensions.
