 WASHINGTON, Ju'y 24 The Democratic members of the senate committee on finance intend to make demand that the Mills tariff bill be considol ed i'll tho regular way, section by section and paragraph by paragraph, and they will oppose the proposition of the Re publicans to cast it into pigeon hole in the committee room and give 1t no considera- tion, Republican mem-crs of the committee say it is probable no effort Vili be made to report tariff bill ut this sessiCl, and that the senate will be asked to authorize the committee to sit during the recess of con- greSs, continue to g i've hearings to those in terested ill the various industries and get a bill ready to be reported when the senate meets in December.

 It has been reported during the past week that Senator R dde!bcrgcr would vote for . the Mills tariff bill ia preference to any measure the Republicans would likely present in the senate. The senator Is out of the city, but those on the floor of the snate who have conversed with him on the subject say that he has not unnounceI his intention to vote for the Mills bill, and that he will not say what he intends doing on the subject of the tariff until he sees what the Republicans will present. Republican members Of the com mittee on finance say that no one will have an opportunity to vote the Mills bill in the senate, because that nea sure will not be re- ported from the comm .toe, but will remain in the pigeon hole where it now rests There is not likelihood Of a tie vote on the subject of tar if when it comes to finally passing upon the bill, the Republicans intend to draft a bill in caucus and secure caucus ao- tion before it is reported to tie senate for action The only Republican senator who has been suspected of occupying doubtful position on the tariff is Mir.

The Judge Of circuit court OF the
United States has imprisoned the judges
OF q Missouri county court for failing
to order levy to pay the interest on the
county bonds issued in aid of road now
forming a part of the Missouri Pacific
railroad. The defence of the county was
that the issue wes procured by misrepre-
sentation and fraud, and that it is there
fore illegal. A law OF Missouri forbids
the payment of taxes either for the prin-
cipal or interest of class OF bonds TO
which this issue belonged, and so the
comfy justices are jailed by Federal
judge for obeying State law.
There are certain points OF similitude
between this case and the Virginia bond
cases, as well as in the procedure OF the
two courts, which raise the implication
that certain Missouri circuit is the I'M
fortunate possessor of the official coun-
terpart OF the famous Judge Bond.
The first desision of the Supreme
Court in the Virginia case would have
justified the course of the Missouri
Judge, but the second was virtually Its
exact opposite-asserting as broadly as
possible that Federal courts cannot go
within the jurisdiction of a State in an
action for money, and cannot proceed 10y
action against the persons or State ofii-
cials as a means of coerciDg State. The
whole proceeding is unlawful.

Mr.. Bel had devised his own instru-
ment, and that, the patent having been
given TO Bell, he has been defrsuded out
of the results of his labor and his in
vention. He asks OF the Patent Office
that the case be reopened, and that he
be allowed to show that the instrument
he invented and proposed for patent is
suitable and successful telephone, and
ought to be patented. He does not re-
quire nor expect the cancellation OF
Bells rights, but he prays to be placed
on the same footing, and says In his plea
that il his instrument is not in every
respect perfect success he will pursue
the litigation no farther. In the hear
ing before the Commissioner Of Patents
few weeks ago Colonel Robert j. In
gersoll and ex-Congressman Frank Hurd
appeared for Mr.. McDonough and ex-
Senator Roscoe Conkling and Hon. j. j.
Storrow for the Bell Company. The
arguments lasted for seven days, and the
magnitude of the questions under con
sideration may be deduced from the fact
that over 10, 900 printed pages of testi-
mony were submitted for the considera-
ton OF tho Commissioner of Patents to
aid him in preparing his decision in the
matter. This decision is now pending.
James w. McDonough is in his forty
eighth year He was born in st. Louis,
served in the Union army during the
war; and when it was over went into
business in Chicago and made money.
He had always a liking for abstruse
studies, and in his leisure hours amused
himself with experiments IN electricity.
1t was in 1867 that he first began his
real work on the telephone, but it was
not until June, 1875, that he produced
an instrument which transmitted speech
by means Of electricity. He claims
that in the course of one year from
that date he had completed fifteen diff
ferent instruments, all of which trans
mitted articulated speech. and did it we'll.
He filed his application for a patent in
the Government Office in Washington,
submitted the model of his invention,
which he named teleloge, and de-
scribed the object OF the instrument to be
"to transmit articulate sounds from one
station to another by mems of electri-
city," One morning he awoke to find
that Alexander Graham Bells invention
had pushed its way to the front in adj
vance of all competitors, and in 1876 the
patent for the telephone was awarded
the lucky Scotchman whose name is at
tached to one of the most profitable mo-
nopolies of the age.

war on the silent "e," as in "line. }"

The author of this brilliant piece OF
Legislation is Charles Stewart Voorhees,,
OF Colfax, Washington Territory. He is
n son of Senator Daniel w. Voorhees,, Of
Indiana, and was born Mt CoviDgton,
that State, on June 4, 1853. He IS a
graduate OF Georgetown College, Dis
trict of Columbia. After leaving col
lege, in 1873, he studied law, and in
1875 was admitted to the bar at Terre
Haute, Indiana. He went to Wash
ington Territory in the spring Of 1882,
and opened an Office at Colfax. In
November of the same year he was
elected prosecuting attorney for Whit
man county, an office which he held un-
til January 10, 1885. Mr. Voorhees, was
a member Of the Forty-ninth Congress.
and the present is therefore his second
term in the House OF Representatives.
As congressional delegate from one Of
the Territories he has no vote in the
House, but can introduce all the bills he
may choose.

Bishop Williams, OF Connecticut, is
represented as the greatest worker, as
well as the oldest member of the Ameri-
can House of Bishops OF the Protestant
Episcopal Church. While keeping even
with the duties of his diocese, be de-
livers twelve lectures week at Middle
town, Conn, to the students of the di-
vinity school, lectures frequently at
Trinity College, Hartford, breaches
nearly every Sunday, and keeps up with
current literature by incessant reading.
The New York Observer thinks cit is
only necessary to make your idea SO
novel as TO astonish, and it will certainly
awaken interest. A literary doctor has
written an article that shows how tho
world may come to know so well how to
live that few need die at all. For those
who stumble at biblical statements in re-
gard to Methuselah his, article will be a
scientific explanation. No one needs to
stagger at any Bible wonder who will
accept popular science monthly with a

The Sunddy-School Times drops this
piece of excellent advice: "He who
would have punctuality in others must
himself be punctual. If pastor or a
superintendent would have the members
OF his charge always on time he must al
ways be on time himself. whether they
are or not. II the service is announced
for 2 o'clock, for example, that service
ought to be well under way by one
minute past 2, even il there is not
another person than the leader in the
room at 2 O'Clock. That method of
doing will secure punctuality from any
people anywhere.

WRlrus Hunting.


Walrus hunting is by no means no
veIty in marine adventures, since it has
been carried on from time out of mind !;
but in the past the beasts were slaugh-
tered merely for their tusks and blubber,
their hides being thrown away as worth
less Modern ingenuity, however, has
discovered an important use for walrus
hide. and to-day that which was once re-
parded as offal is looked upon as the
most useful part of the animal. Emery
wheels so generally in use are, when
constructed on the old method, liable,
when run at high speed, to burst into
fragments, endangering :he lives OF those
who work around them, and consequently
experiments have been made from time
10 time 10 devise some substitute for The
ordinary emery wheel
After various substances had been
tried, giving greater or less satisfaction,
II was ascertalned that walrus hide was
the most suitable material for that pur-
pose. possessing as it does the quantities
of touehness, durability, and suscepti-
bility-i. e., it is strong, does not wear
out and readily receives and retains the
emery powder. This isspplied by pressing
il into the porous substance of the hide,
and of this the entire emery wheel OF
to-day is made. As these wheels are
in great demand the price OF wairus
hide mas advanced i'll correspond
inc ratio until they now sell for 10 cents
per pound, and as a single hide will
Weigh from 500 to 1000 pounds they are
well worth taking. Walrus hunting has,
therefore. become an important indus:
trv and although now in its infancy will
beyond doubt become a rival of whaling
in The near future. Nor is the hide the
only valuable part OF the walrus, as fine
oil is obtained from the blubber OF equal
value with whale oil, and with the great
diminution in the production OF ele-
phant ivory the tusks are daily en-
