A great deal of interest has been
created in France by the novel form
and operation of an electric clock, re-
Gently introduced, the popularity in
the construction of which consists in
the presence of two kinds of batteries,
one a wet zinc-iron element and the
other a dry zinc-iron element. The
former consists of an iron bottle five
and one-half inches high by three and
one-half diameter, which forms one
electrode; the other electrode is a zinc
rod passing through an India rubber
stopper into the center of the bottle,
this being filled with caustic potash
and oxide of mercury. There is no
diaphragm, and the zinc is gradually
consumed, while the oxide of mercury
is reduced; the c. m. f. is 1.3 volts, and
the internal resistance only 3 of an
ohm. These clocks receive an impulse
forty times a minute, and exhibit. M
weakening of the power either in the
dry or the wet cell. An easy c~alcula-
ton will show the interesting fact that
the total number of electrical impulses
exceeds 81, 000, 900 per annum-cer>

TeIler's Proposition.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Senator Tel
ler's proposition to abolish secret sessions
of the senate for consideration of presi-
Dental nominations, was not the direct
outgrowth of the reports published of the
debate on the nomination of Murat Hal
stead. but suggested BY them. The prop
osition Of Teller differs from that made
by Platt at the opening OF the fiftieth
congress, in that it proposed hat only
nominations shall be considered with
open doors, while the Plat resolution pro-
posed tn abolish executive sessions for
any and all purposes except when on
specific motion it might be agreed that
doors should be closed. Republican
senator's say there would have been favor
able action taken on the Plat resolution
had it not been for the eccentric work of
Riddleberger which was Incompatible with
the interests of the proposition. Teller
when asked by IN Associated Press re
porter to-day as to the outlook for his
resolution, said there is no doubt in his
mind that it will be adopted. So far as
he can see there Is very little objection
o to the consideration of presidential
nominations in open session. He is con
Fl lent that the masses of the people are
in favor of 1t. and equally confident, in
view of publications during the past
week that a majority of the senators will
vote for it.

LabOrs,

The InferiOrity of the American
Navy.
Uncle Sans Ships Compared
With Germany's.

and Greater Speed.
In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The vice
president laid before the senate Stewart
resolution expressing the profound sor-
row OF the senate at the death of John
Bright. Sherman suggested that the
resolution better be referred to the com
mittee on foreign relations, as its adoption
might establish a precedent that would
return to plague the senate. Hawley re-
marked that no such occasion was likely
to arise again. If the United States ever
had a friend IN time of need that friend
was John Bright. Hoar thought that in
this particular case the senate was safe, as
1t was not at all likely that a state of
things would again arise that would es-
tablish between the United States and a
citizen of a foreign country the peculiar
relations OF respect on one side and a
tender grateful affection on the other,
that existed in this country toward the
great English statesman who had Just
gone to his tomb. Hoar proceeded at
some length to recount the services of
Bright in molding English sentiment in
favor of this country during the rebellion,
and preventing its recognition by the
English government. Sherman. while
yielding to none in respect for Bright, wa
opposed to the example which the resolu-
ton would set, but would offer no obsta-
Gle to it and would withdraw the motion
to refer. Reagan referred to the false
step taken by the house of Representatives
some years ago in passing q resolution
complimentary to a member of the Ger-
man rcichstag, and having it returned
disdainfully by Bismarck. He said he re-
newed Snsrmans motion to refer. Stew
art opposed reference, eulogized the char
acter of Bright as a leader among men,
not by inheritance of rank, but by right
of the great natural endowments aud high
moral integrity of his pcb
lie life for nearly half a cent
ury, having been conspicuous
in heroic efforts to remedy ancient abuses.
Hawley said the incident to which Rea-
gan referred differed in all respects from
the case of Bright. In that case the
person commended had been engaged in
a bitter controversy with the German
government and the house had directed a
copy of resolution to be sent to that gov
eminent. In this case there was no such
proposition. 1t was nothing to the SEN
ate whether anybody t~hought7of John
Bright as the senate did. Reagans mo-
ton to refer was carried.
The vice president stated he was about
to vacate the chair for the remainder OF
the session and thanked the senators for
courtesy shown him. Ingalls, was then
chosen president pro tempore and took
the oath as such.
In executive session the senate con
firmed all nominations of delegates to
South American conference, also the nomi-
nations of William +. Wharton as assis-
tant secretary of state; l.. Bradford Prince
governor of New Mexico; Geo. f.. II.
Shields Of Missouri, assistant attorney
general; Robert j. Fisher of Illinois, as.
sistant commissioner of pateuts.
At $40 p. M, on motion of Cameron,
the senate adjourned sine die.

The Enemy,s Ships.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The German
ships Alexandrine and Sperber, which
are now on their way to Samoa to replace
the wrecked vessels, are very formidable
and at long range fighting would have a
decided advantage over the American YES
sells owing to their superior armament and
speed. The corvette Alexanrlne is wood,
iron and steel. of 9, 1878 tons burden, and OF
fifteen knots speed. Her battery is made
up of twelve five and half inch four ton
breech-loading rifles. two three and a
half inch, four revolving cannon and tor.
pedo tube equipment. The Sperber is a
new cruiser, composite type. l.120 tons
burden, fourteen and a half knots speed
and armed with rifle four and a half inch
Krup, four Hotchkiss revolving cannon
and two torpedo tubes. Neither of the
vessels is armoured, but it will be noted
that their speed is about so per ceni
greater than the American vessels ordered
TO Samoa, and their guns of greater
range.

The ParneII Commission Resumed.

LONDON, April 2.-The Parnell com
mission has resumed sitting. Sir Charles
Russell opened the case for the Parnel-
lites. His remarks thus far have been
characterized with singular moderation.
He declared the testimony Of the 43O
witnesses for the Times irrelevant. He
admitted crime prevailed i'll Ireland to a
greater or less degree, and said the col
lapse of the Times case in the matter of
the alleged Parnell letters abolished the
pith and marrow of the inquiry. The
court was asked by the Times to indict
the whole nation, a proceeding which
Burke declared infeasible. Judicial rules
were invalid when the whole people
moved. Thoughtful minds were CON
WINGED the time would come to try the
experiment of home rule in Ireland.
