CORkIing and Tilden

PROSPECTIVE RACE ON THE Taps.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IA prominent
New York politician said to-day that if
Mr.. Conkling would run for governor of
that state he would be the nominee of
the republican party next fall, and he
would surely be elected; and then if he
could get Tilden to run on the demo-
cratic ticket it would make lively can
vass, and would help the congressional
elections, which usually go by default,
to greater or less extent, in the of
years. He said his friends had no as
surance that Mr. Conkling would accept
the nomination, but it would be tender
ed him, and the utmost efforts would
be made to induce him to accept it and
make the canvass.

SecretarY Hunt
HE pENoUNcEs CERTAIN DISCIPLINE.

HE DENOGNCEc
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE secretary
of the navy has issued general order
as follows: The frequency with which
punishment by solitary confinement on
bread and water or on diminished ra-
tons is imposed by the sentences Of
summary courts-martial meets with
the disapprobation Of the department.
This punishment is a severe one, and
it was not probably contemplated by
the law that it should be generally re-
sorted to for the correction of offenders.
1t is belived that other authorized pun
ishments will, in most cases, prove
more effectual than this. In cases
where punishment by confinement on
bread and water or diminished rations
is imposed by sentences of courts-mar-
tial that portion of such sentences will
be disapproyed by the department.

NO DRINKING IN THE HOUSE RESTAURANT.
WASHINGTON, D. c., February 2
Speaker Keifer issued an order
yesterday prohibiting the sale of liquor
in the house restaurant. where, it is
alleged, Intoxicating beverages have
been sold under various DISCUSSES. The
speaker stated that if this order was
disobeyed hereafter resolution would
be offered IN the house for the appoint
ment of another reStaaVdteur for the
house. This action, it is believed, is
the result of movement by the Wom-
ems Temperance Union of the District

Blnfne's Talk.

New YORK, Feb. There is deal
of more or less sensational gossip at
the clubs about ex-Secretary Blaine's
Gargeld memorial Grafton, to be de-
livered in the house on the 9th inst.
Mr.. Blaine and his personal friends are
said to be giving out some of the
points in advance, and if these in
timations are not misleading, the dis
tinguished statesman from Maine
would seem to be essaying the histori-
cal role of Marc Anthony. The same
ideas, curiously enough, would seem to
be current at Washington, inasmuch as
Post correspondent telegraphs from
there that "a warm friend of MIR. Blaine
said this morning that it was going to
be very curious performance" add
ing, "there will be a great deal more of
Blaine in that meeting than of Gar
field"

Telegraphing from a Moving Train.

On Sept. %, through Messrs. Dewey
4 Co., patent was issued to resident
of Santa Barbara for method Of teIe-
graphing from a moving railroad car.
Each freight or passenger train is to
have its own telegraph Office. Two
wires are required instead OF one, and
these are surrounded directly over the
track, and above the moving train.
They are parallel and about eighteen
inches apart. One wire is connected
with battery at the station from which
the train starts, and the other with q
battery at the terminal station. They
are so suspended by a somewhat in
genious arrangement that light run
ming wheels can run along them from
one end of the road to the other. The
wheels are insulated from each other,
but are connected with wires that pass
down the roof of the car to the operat-
ing instrument, and through it COM
plete to the circuit. As the Car moves,
the wheels are drawn along on the
wires Just shove it, and constant cur
rent of electricity is maintained be-
through the moving car.
Without attempting 10 enumSrate
the advantages of the invention, some
of the more obvious may be men,
toned. All train reports and all orders
from train dispatchers viii be COM
municated directly to the conductors
and engineers while the train is in mo-
ton. Passengers can receive and trans
nit messages at any time during their
journey, without any of the inconveni-
ences now experienced. Directors and
distinguished parties travelling in their
own private cars will find it especially
convenient to have telegraph office
constantly on hand. But the one great
value of the invention, after all, viii be
It's preservation of life and property by
preventing collisions.-lSasstd Barbara
