MPHERsON's BILL.
Little Prospect that it VIII be Accorded
Early Consideration

Early Consideration.
WASHINGTON, March 1s.-The friends of
the Mcpherson banking bill in the House
are of the opinion that the bill cannot be
reached before the middle of May, if at
that time. An effort was to have been
made yesterday, had the Committee on
Banking and Currency been called, to
have a day designated for the cOnsdera-
tion of the bill. The committee was not
called and a special order cannot be made
until the third Monday in April. Sus-
pension without unanimous consent, it is
thought, cannot be obtained. If, on the
third Monday in April, under suspension
of the rules, day is named for the con-
sideratlon OF the measure, it will probably
be a late one, inasmuch as a number Of
prior special orders already occupy the
calendar, while the tariff bill and remain
ing appropriation measures may, by that
time, be brought into antagonism with it.

PROF. Mons. OF Christiania, Norway, hav-
ing been employed by the government to in
yestigate the efficiency OF the protection af-
forded to buildings by lightning rods, seems
to have substantially settled the much debated
question. at least for that region OF country.
His report shows that lighthouses, telegraph
stations. and other exposed buildings. which
were provided with conductors, did not by far
suffer as much as churches, which, IN most
cases. were unprotected. Tt appears. in fact
that OF about 100 churches reported to have
been struck by lightning, only three were pro-
vided with conductors: that Of these three
the first had a conductor in good order, and
the building was uninjured; the second had
q conductor Of zinc wire, which melted, and.
Of course, left the structure without pr0tec-
ton; the third had a wire which was rusty
where it joined the earth, and the church was
burned. More than One-half the number OF
churches struck were totally destroyed. Mr.
freeoe, the English Government electrician,
states that no damage has occurred since tele-
Sfapn poles were earth wired.
