NOW ITS DENIAL.
President Harrison Will Not Refuse to Be
a Candidate for denomination.

Candidate for denomination.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-A special to The
Tribune from Cape May, N. j., says:
President Harrison. through Private Sec
retary Ealford, Saturday, denies the
story that he is about to declare over his
own signature that he will refuse to be
a candidate for denomination. The presi-
dent replied in his usual manner that he
would not discuss newspaper articles.
Mr.. Harrison's friends say that while the
president is not chasing after nomina-
ton he desires denomination. His
subordinates are doing the work while
he looks On and notes the effect. The
president has not written any letter de-
clining to permit his name to come be-
fore the national convention. but it is
said that there exists an implied under
standing between Mr.. Harrison and Sec
retary Blaine to the effect that one of
them will decline in advance should the
other develop the greater strength. This
is simply tacit agreement existing only
in the inferential sense, but it seems to
be an agreement nevertheless. All of
Mr.. Harrison's friends seen lately seem
confident of his denomination.

SPEED OF EIECTPICITY

PHILADELPHIA, June 27.-Philadelphia
scientists are preparing to find out how
fast an electric current travels. An eXper-
iment will be made probably from the
Franklin institute, by connections over
the Atlantic cable to Liverpool and return.
A recent test appeared to show that an
electric current is a slow coach as COM
pared to light being only able to get over
to Europe and back in something like "a
second, or At the rate of only some 100000
miles minute, while light am 5les along
at il million mile minute gait. The Phil
adelphia scientists who are proposing to
make further Investigations are not salts
fled to give up the record to sunlight, and
hope to prove that the electrical current,
if not handicapped, is the swifter element.
The most recent experiment was tried at
McGill college, Montreal. The current
was transmitted in Montreal, was trans
ferred to the cable at the Newfoundland
cable station by means of Thompson's
mirror galvanometer, sent across to the
station at Liverpool, and returned to Mon
treal by the same method. The distance
traversed partly by overhead wire and
partly bv cable, was 5000 miles From
the time the current left the key in Mon
treal until it returned to the receiver In
the same office just l second and l-20th of
a second had elapsed; but the conditions
wers not as good as they might have been,
here.
The rapidity with which the current
travels over short wires with no delay
indicated unlimited possibilities in the di-
rection of practical tests. Prof. Marks, of
the Edison Electric Light company, is
authority for the assertion that il the
globe was epcircled with continuous
cable current would travel the entire
distance in a trifie over three seconds. At
this rate a current would travel 10 the sun,
covering the distance OF &c. 600. 900 miles, in
three and half minutes.
In this age of science said one OF the
gentlemen who will participate IL the
experiments. people have an idea that we
know so much now there is nothing more
to be discovered. Why, we are yet Ia our
infancy as far as electricity goes. New
discoveries will yet be made, and we viii
live to see them put into practical use,
which viii revolutionize the entire world
The experiment which we are about TO
make in telegraphy is only feeier. which
will lead 10 other and more startling ex-
periments. The establishment Of telephone
Communication between the hemispheres
is already being seriously discussed"

long, with no prospect of "A settlement,
that an extra force of British war vessels
will be required in all probability on the
Chilian coast for several months to come.
while the situation in Hayti and Venez-

OF English cannon. In addition TO these
transitory grounds for increasing the naval
force in the Atlantic and Pacific, Lord Sal
