The Administration acts promptly whenever

settled within twelve hours after official
Information of the seizure had been re-
ceived. The Sisters set sail on Sunday with

by the generous treatment which he had re-
ceiyed. There are no ntimatlOns that the
authorities at Washington considered the seiz-
ure illegal. They released the vessel becau Sc
they were convinced that there was no inten-
ton on the part of the captain to evade the

measures OF retaliation i'll American ports for
the outrages which have been practlsed in

sion the inventor showed how parts OF the machine
could be taken to pieces and put together again.
and the familiar tuning fork business was theh
oone through. together with the usual Opaque re-
marks about vibration, and then some weights
were lifted and that was all. A visitor who vent
rred TO express mild scepticsm was pounced
upon fercely by Mr.. Keely, while the disciples
stood around sympathzingly, much as the veteran
spiritualists at q seance do when some wicked
doubter tries to grab the suppostitious dear de-

passed, and it was announced that in few
weeks something very great would be accom-
plished. The utmost faith in the motor was ex-
hibited by the little band that has stood 80 long

tuning-fork, and the occasion generally was I'M
