SALISBURY is SCARED.
Lord Randy's Attack on the Gov
ernment Stirs Up the Tories.

eminent StirS Up the Tories.
Special to the Globe.
LONDON, Dec. 5.-Lord Randolph
ChurchilPs attack upon the government
in the house of commons last night, to-
gether with the close vote which the di-
vision on his motion disclosed, has
caused mucheuneaSiness in the Tory
ranks and created a feeling of insecure
ty in official circles. The undeniable
fact that Lord Churchill based his argu-
ments upon the advice and promptings
of Gen. Lord Wolseley has also had its
effect in inspiring belief in the minds
of many of the more moderate Tories
that the motion of the Padding
ton member was justifiable.L Quite a.
number Of Conservatives admit the
validity OF the principle advocated by
Lord Randolph, but deprecate the
methods he employed, believing that
the measures of the executive govern
ment ought not to be interfered with
by the legislative branch. 1t is now
thought probable. however, in view of
premature publicity given to the gov
ernment's intentions in Egypt, that
more English troops will be sent to Sua-
kim before an attack upon the Arab be-
siegers is ordered. Instructions have
been issued to the authorities at Wool
witch arsenal that military stores intend
ed to be forwarded to Egypt must take
precedence over all others, and that
passenger steamers shall be employed
in their transportation if by that means
they can be dispatched more rapidly
than in government transports.

The office of Loren Fletcher, in the

many aspiring young politicians maize

ing advice and not putting up "a

look. His smile is weary and care
seems to sit upon his brow. But tits

WASTING TIME.

For the reason that it is hard to teach
an old dog new tricks congress doesn't
seem inclined to finish up the work it
finds On hand at reassembling, but is
flooding the calendar with new bills,
just as if this had been the first session
of congress in half a century. Of course
it doesn't do any good to lecture con-
gress for this idle waste of time and
senSeleSS effort at legislation. 1t is
singular that, of the 1926 intelligent
American citizens who are selected by
their fellow citizens as fit to be represent
atiyes in the national congress, a ma
jority could not be found who realize the
Importance of bills Of general nature
now pending before that body, and that
there should not be concerted action
among them to take up those bills and
pass them into laws. Instead of that,
they permit few members who have
individual axes to grind to mOnOpOliZe
the time of the house and to fritter away
valuable hours in the consideration of
measures which do not concern half
dozen persons out of the 60, 1000, 600 popu
latlon of this country. Why do not a
few of the leaders Oh each side of the
house get together in consultation and
agree upon such measures of a general
character as are of most Importance,
and then subordinate all other legisla-
ton until these more important bills
are passed? Speaker CARLISLE and
Mr.. RANDALL. on the Democratic side,
and Mr.. REED and Mr.. MCKINLEY on
the Republican side, could go into con-
ference, and in an hours time could
shape the entire legislation of this ses-
sion. 1t would be infinitely better that
they should do so, than that this dilly-
dallying process should go on.

WOMAN sUEERaGE.

A knotty question in connection with
the extension of woman suffrage has
arisen in a Massachusetts, town, and it
grows out of the contest over a mayor
atty election. The law there is as it is
here in granting women the right to
vote for school officers. In the town of
Maiden the mayor, under the municipal
charter, is ex-officio a member of the
school toard. The candidate of the mi
nority party had the forethought to
drum up number of his female friends
and had them at the polls on the day of
election. The election judges refused
to accept their ballots, but they were
strung and preserved, and list of the
proposed female suffragists duly made
out. There were enough of these votes
to have elected the defeated candidate,
and now he asks the courts to have the
ballots offered by the women voters
counted in his favor.

EXPRESS COMPANY TOUCHED.
Money Package En- Route to
Chicago.

The American Express company usually
closes its Office at 6 p. m, but last night its
lights burned until late hour while the
force, from Manager F. B. Daniels down, was
occupied IN work destined to throw light
on heavy robbery which occurred two
weeks ago. For fear of in some way impeding
or frustrating the capture of the thieves and
recovery of the money, the express officials
refused to say anything or make public the
facts, while the officers of the First National
bank, who are interested, have promised
silence for the same reason. 1t appears that
three weeks ago the First National expressed
to its correspondent at Chicago package of
money containing nearly 50 900, which new
er reached its destination. Whether it was lost
or stolen the company will not say, but the
presumption is it was stolen, and that the
pair of Pinkertons are now here to work up
the case. An express messenger has been
suspended for the present on suspicion, but
there have been no arrests. The express
force and detectives are working on the case,
and developments for the public are ex-

tricity Is Better Than Hemp
for Executions.
New YORK. Dec. Son Jan. 1, 1889,
the law requiring electrical executions
goes into effect, but until to-day the
amount and character of current re-
quired to make death certain and in
Simultaneous had not been determined.
The experiments upon dogs last sum-
mer by Harold p. Brown, the electrical
engineer, were criticised because the
weight of the animals killed was
less than that of man, and it
was supposed that more current
would Oe required to kill human
being on that account. This afternoon
Mr.. Brown was given an opportunity
10 make demonstration before Mr..
fioridge L. Gerry. author of the cleo
trical execution law. and the committee
appointed by the MedicO-Legal society
10 report on the best means of putting
the law INTO effect. The experiments
were made at MIR. EdisOn's laboratory
at orange, and the first victim was =
calf weighing 124L pounds. The hair
was cut on the forehead and on the
spine behind the fore legs, and sponge
covered plates. moiStened in solut ION
or Sulphate of zinc, were fastened in
place. The resistance of the animal
was $500 OhmS. An alternating current
OF 200 OhmS was applied for thirty-fiye
seconds and the animal was dead. 1t
was at once dissected by Drs. Ingram
and Bleyer, but the brain, heart and
lungs were found to be in nor
NAL condition and the meat was
pronounced fit for food. One
metal plate, carrying the current
touched the hair of the forehead, and
slightly burned it. but otherwise there
were no external indications of injury.
The second calf weighed AS pounds,
ana mad resistance of 300 ohms. The
deadly alternating current at 700 volts
pressure was applied for five seconds,
and produced death. TO settle per-
manently the weight question, a horse
weighing 1.230 pounds was next killed
Dy passing the alternating current at
aO0 volts from one foreleg to the other.
Inc resistance of this animal was IL 900
onmS. There were present Thomas
a. Edison, Prof. r. Ogden Doremus,
Prof. Charles A. Doremus, DR.. Fred
eTlck PETERSON, DR.. Frank ii. Ingram,
Elbrldge L. Gerry, DIR. j. NJ. Bleyer,
M; B0urgoneO and John Murray Mitch
ell: The experiments proved the alter
nating current to be the most deadly
force known to science, and that less
IMAM half the pressure used in this city
1or electric lighting by this system is
suilcient to cause instant death.
