Washington, April o1.-The annual meeting Of the
National Academy Of Sciences began here to-day IN
the National Museum. A number Of interesting scen-
tifc papers read. That OF Professor S. p Lang

Langley gave the results of series Of experiments ne

grounds Of the Allegheny Observatory a whirling
machine with diameter Of sixty feet, and driven by
steam engine of ten or twelve horsepower. lie first
sought to ascertain whether or not IL required more
power to laterally than to stand stl in the air.
For this purpose he had suspended fiat brass plato
from the arm Of the whirling machine by spring.
When the machine was put in motion and the plato
encountered an artificial wind going forty miles an
hour the spring instead Of elOngatng actually short

suspend the plate was less when In motion than
when It was standing still His next series Of ex-
periments Professor Langley said, demonstrated that
il took second two more for brass plane 10 fal

from the hand without motion, the plane when In
motion laterally sinking slowly II the air had be-

reached the conclusion that the amount Of power re-

A reporter called on Justice Weed last night and
learned from him that DeLacy's statement was
correct. The Justice said that ON Monday DeLecy
and Lawyer Stein, OF Plainteld called at his
office and asked him if he would issue about forty
warrants for the arrest Of boOkmakers and pool
sellers at Guttenburg. The Justice, with visions
Of manifold costs and fees, replied gladly that
he would if the proper afiidavits were made.
DeIacy then directed him to have dozen or
more officers at his office at IL a. m. yesterday TO
receive the warrants which he would then cause
to be issued after the necessary aflidavlts were
made. DeIacy failed TO keep his appointment ana
no warrants were issued.
A man on the inside" threw good deal OIL
sunshine on the means and methods employed
last year to close the poolroOms, and spoke OF
the matter last night as If 1t were no secret lie

"Why was PnkeTtOn employed? Couldn't

inquired.

THE woRKIYGS or THE TARIFF LAWS.
INQUIRY TO BE MADE BY THE SENATE FINANCE
COMMITTEE

COMMITTEE
Washington. Aprl 81 (Speclal).-A resolution was
adopted by the Senate Just before the close OF the last
session Of Congress authorizing the Finance oom-
mittee OF the Senate to sit during the recess ana IN
qure in the most comprehensive possible into the
effects and operations of the New Tariff laws. Mr..
Morrill,, the chairman Of the committee, issued some
time ago call for preliminary meeting to be heio at
the Capitol to-day. But the few members left In Town
found on assembling this afternoon that a quorum
was lacking, and adjourned until tomorrow Be
sides Mr. Morrill, there present Messrs Alisoh'
Aldrch. HscOck and Mcpherson. 1t Is expected that
the necessary quorum OF six members Will be obtained
without delay, two three additional members OF
the committee known to be on their way here.
The first work If the committee will be to decide as
to the scope and plan Of the proposed inquiry 1t has
been suggested that it is rather early 10 begin TO u
quire into the effects and working of the Mckinney
tariff schedules none Of which has been In frce much
more than six months The sugar schedule became
operative only three weeks ago. and other portions oil

during the summer. and important statistical report
could be made next winter TO the Senate The COM
mittee has given so many hearings in the last four
years that that method OF investigation Is not likely
to commend itself strongly again.
The resolution authorizing the investigation was In
Oduced by Senator Plumb. of Kansas, who tried hard
during the fight the Mckinley bill to have sort
of permanent tariff commission and bureau OF informa

have an extremely important influence in the political
debates the next Congress, and consequently upon
the Presidential canvass of 1892.

Some Of the pOolrOom keepers, whose places Of
business are in inconspicuOus places where they
attract little notice, have avowed their inten-

will not take the risk till the General Term has
passed upon the appeal of Fisher.
1t said yesterday that Peter DeLacy had
begun a crusade against Guttenburg, and the rumor
about town was that between 800 and 400 war
rants had been issued by Justice Weed, of Jersey
City, for the arrest of bookmaxers and official Is
at the hippodrome on Union Hill. Mr.. DeLacy
declared last night that he had nothing against
Guttenburg.
i have no desire to hurt that track" he said,
because the Hudson County Jockey Club has
not tried to hurt me- but l am determined that
the Dwyers and Jimmy Kelly Shall not make any
money out of it. j saw Justice Weed on Monday,
and made an appointment with him for l l oclock
to-day, but for satisfactory reasons did not keep
IT. II any warrants have been issued / had
nothing 10 do with them. II may not be neces-
sary TO take out warrants. / may be able 10
accomplish my purpose without going that far.
All | want is TO see that the Dryers and Kelly
cont make any money out of the racing up there. "
A meeting OF poolroom keepers and Guttenburg
onelals was held last night for the purpose of
coming 10 terms. De Lacy, whose threats never
