! WASHINGTON, D. o., Sept. 0.-The
men IN this city who are most rcjoicetl
over the returns from Maine are the
members Of tho majority in the House.
They unquestionably regard the result
in Speaker Reeds district us an em.
phatic endorsement OF their course, and
especially Of their position on tho Elec-
tions bill, as distinguished from the
course OF the Senate.
The Vermont election contained
nothing Of national significance.
There was no contest, but there were
innumcrabls local dissenaions, and the
battle was fought out on that line.
On the contrary. the Maine election
was for blood. German Is known to
have taken $4,000 into the Speakers
district, with the avowed intention OF
defeating him at all hazards. Con.
gressman Cummings utilized his connec-
ton with the press to flood the diatrict
with taxed dispatches. The Democratic
local papers were filled with articles de-
crying the Elections bill, and the Demo-
cratic orators confined themselves almost
exclusively to the came iasue.
Tho result is unequlvocai. II is the
triumph OF a principle over hesitancy
and inaction, the success of convic.
tlons over doubt. The members Of the
House see in the returns renewed On.
dorsement Of Republicanism, which has
never lacked the courage Of its convic-
tions, and which, II it is pledged to any
line Of policy, is pledged to secure equal
political rights Tor every citizen. What
effect the Maine election will have on
the fate OF the Elections bill in the Sem
ate cannot now be foretold. No doubt
1t will set some OF the Senators to think
ing. The result in November will do
the rest
The news from Maine upset the House
and it hardly attempted any business,
the Democrats had expected that Reed
would have a reduced majority on &C.
count OF it being an OF year. The Re.
publicans did not expect him to have
more than an ordinary majority, and
consequently the surprise Of yesterday
was double acting. Mark Dunnell, OF
Minnesota, gathered coterie OF Repub-
llcans into the cloak room after adjourn
mentand announced that the west would
give Reed just RS big majority, rela.
lively, if he was the Republican candi-
date for President in 1902. The idea
seems to have caught on, and it was sug-
gested Whenever the election in Maine
was discussed. All of Mr.. Reeds close
personal friends are away from Wash
lngton at present, and there il great
deal Of curiosity existing as to whether
he will be entered at ouce rs an ayoyed
candidate for the Presidency.

A NEW BRICK.

What are termed hollow cast iron
bricks form the subject Of recent
German patent described in the tech
nical journals, the article being the in
vention Of an Erfurt mechanic. As
the name indicates, they are nAde Of
regular brick form and size, the walls
being u inches thick, bat no mortar
or other binding material is intended
Ito enter into their use, the method OF
fastening adopted being as follows:
the upper and lower sides Of the
bricks are provided with grooves and
Protecting ribssWiich St into one an
other easily and perfectly, 50 as to
make q uaiform aud complete union
OF combination.
There are in addition two large cir
cuiar openings in the upper side Of
each brick, arranged to receive suits
bly, formed projections on the lower
sidesof the brick above, one of these
projections being also hooked shape,
thus securing q more secure hold; and
IN order that the joints may be made
and remain air and water tight fluid
is applied to the surface ofsthe bricks
with brush. The non conducting
air spaces in the bricks, and the ease
with which they may be put together
aud taken apart without injuring
them, are cited as special advantages
illtheir favor IS d a.substitute for ordi-
nary bricks and brick construction.
