Rep. Smith, at 4:09, rose to move
adjournment but hesitated so as to
allow the reading of names of the
select committee to which section 3
had been referred, viz: Noble Thurs
ton, Minister Neumann, Noble Ma

Minister Neumann, obtaining the
floor, said that he desired to present
to the House the reports relating to
the Marshal and Marshals Depart
ment He had examined them and
he deemed it necessary to recon-
mend that all of these matters be
now referred to select committee,
to investigate the department of the
Marshal. He asked that this be
done this afternoon, because he con
sidered that no delay should be had
and the session was now drawing to
close.
Rep, Ashford was sorry to take
the ground but he was compelled to
oppose the motion. Enough had
already been ascertained for the
House to act, if no one else did. AS
there had been no motion to refer
he would move adjournment.

The Maidstone Fallacy.

ssThe maidstone story is going it's
rounds again." said DR.. Arnold at the
Great Northern yesterday. ''It is the
property of this wonderful agent to stick
to a raw surface of flesh and suck the
poison out of it-that is, the owners
say SO. AS matter of fact no organic
substance can suck except by the aid of
machinery. Again, in ninety-nine cases
out of 100, the dog bites are harmless,
and there is no poison to be sucked out.
Thirdly, credulity is one Of the most eff
fective cures in the materia medica, and
ought to be used oftener where people
have no real disorders. The whole ira
dition of the maidstone comes from the
absorptive power of any anhydrous
mineral. Such stone is filed with
pores, and, by process akin to that of
capillary attraction, the water that it
has lost-in the course Of centuries per-
haps--it will soak up again when in con-
tact with liquid.
eff one wishes to know the action of
a maidstone let him put q piece of dry
clay or shale to his tongue. 1t will

Government Bids Opened.

Bids were opened Saturday afternoon
at the Office of Colonel Hams, U. S. En-
gineer, for the construction of jetties in
the Saco river and for blasting the ledge
In the channel at Moose-a-bec bar, Maine.
For the former work two bids were re-
ceived, that of G. W. Andrews of Bid
deford for IA, 900 tons of stone work and
800 fascines, the cost to be 3d. 20, the
work to be completed November 30,
1893, and that of John F. Hamilton of
Portland for the same amount and to be
completed at the same time. As'these
were the only two bids received, it is
probable that proposals will have to be
opened again for this work. For the i'm
provements at Moose-a-bec bar, four
bids were received, as follows: John

WITH A HOLE IN HER BOTTOM.
The Big Steamer Spree flowed Into Port by

T LONDON, December 3.-The Spree ar
rived at Queenstown this afternoon,
The Spree's main shaft broke down on
November 90 Part of the machinery
went through her bottom under the sec
ond cabin, which Immediately filled with
water. 8
The passengers thought the vessel was
going to the bottom, and for a time a
veritable panic prevailed. A second
class passenger named Paul Kelson was
SO terribly frightened that he jumped
overheard and was drowned. The pas
sengers ran hither and thither, in the
widest confusion, but when they saw
the vessel wasnot Immediately going to
the bottom a semblance of order was re-
stored.
AS soon as the accident occurred the
boats crews were piped to their sta
lions. The stewards busted themselves
in getting provisions to the boats, and
everything that prudent seamanship
would dictate was done. s.
It was shortly seen, however, that the
water tight bulkheads were answering
the purpose for which they were con-
structed, and that, though the water was
pouring into the compartment beneath
the second cabin, very little was getting
into the other compartments. With only
one compartment filled, the steamer lost
little Of her buoyancy, and all danger of
sinking was passed.

Earthquakes ana vegetatlon.

When people tell us that earthquakes
are capital things we may reasonably be
allowed to entertain suspicious regard
ing their sanity, but if they follow MP
their assertions with reasonable argu-
ment then we must perforce give them
some attention. Signor A. Gioran has
been collecting number Of observa-
lions, from which he deduces that the
effects Of seismic shocks upon vegetation
are to favor more rapid termination of
seeds and a more rapid growth Of the
young plants, thus resulting in a greatly
increased luxuriance. These results he
believes to be due not to the direct inhu-
ence Of the tremor. but to three second
airy causes, among which is the pro-
duction of electricity, which always &C
companies stresses in the earth's crust
In connection with this we may notice
some experiments by Professor A. Aloi,
on the influence of atmospheric electric
lty on the growth of plants. From OBJ
servations made chiefly on Laotuca
scariola, Zea mails, Triticum oestivum,
Nicotiana tabacum and Vicia faba, he
concludes that this influence is distinctly
beneficial. Further experiments have
demonstrated that the electricity of the
soil has similar influence on the gerni-
nation Of seeds.-Electrical Review.

WILL BE A GREAT RACE
When Dunraven Brings His New Flyer
Oyer the Pond. 1

.
NEW YORK, December Ain an inter
ew with reporter of the Herald last
euing, ex-Comnodore, James d. Smith
the New York yacht Club said:
II am glad that Lord Dunraven has
wen the challenge to the public. | am

Fachtsmen generally and the public have
heen advised from the challenger him
self that the match. will be made upon

1.-THE hitch, If there ever was any OF a
serious nature, was regarding the deed
OF Gift, of course, and now the world
knows that the committee has been loyal
to the club. while at the same time most
liberal to the challenger.
'.From the first it looked like amatch
to the committee. | am glad 1t has
turned out SO.
1T is no new thing" he continued, ITO
have many letters written and much dis
oussion by both sides before challenge
is made for the cup. We have always
had it. 1t seems to me that the Amerl-
cas- cup committee and Lord Dnnraven
have arrived at an agreement under the
mutual agre ment clause that must
satisfy the yachtsmen of both hemls-
pheres. At any rate, as the Royal Yacht
Squadron has issued a challenge, after
the letter and cable conference between
Lord Dunraven and the committee, the
British club must be satisfied that the
challenger has been well treateds and
will have fair race. And he will.
There will be no more bitches or explain
ations required, and next year hope
will witness series of great inter-
national yachting battles a.

work in American Organs.

In the best New York factories every
part Of the organ is made on the prem
ises, and most parts are made by ma
chinery and finished by hand. Lumber
for the keys is always housed for many
years before being used, and all the
wood used is first seasoned outdoors and
then indoors. No nails are used under
any circumstances in the frame, all
fastening being done by mortise, dowel,
dovetail or screw. All small hardware
is either timed or nickel plated. Amer
lean organs are built up from stout
ground frame OF sill, SO that subsequent
displacement is impossible. The Euro
peans pile stones and bricks upon the
bellows to help expel the air; American
makers use iron weights. The long
pedal keys are capped with white holly
and the short ones with ebony. Every
piece of wood used in the entire organ
is planed by hand, and is covered with
from one to three coats of shellac to
protect it from moisture.
These are only mechanical SUPERIOR
ties, but they are among the first things
to attract the attention of an unprofes-
sional person, excepting always the cleo
trio appliances, which, if not strictly
American inventions, have been brought
to perfection here. The electric key
board enables the organist to sit with
his manuals in any part of the building,
far away, if desired, from the instru-
ment. This has it's advantages in any
organ, but it is almost indispensable
where an echo is used.-New York

have Immediately followed in the wake Of
tho shriekinG iron horse. Blu l think that
railroad history in this country has also
taught another important lesson. II that
is, that tho holding and control of the rail
roads is of too vast Importance to the hut
man race to be permanently left in tho
hands OF selfish. a~ntngonistic and compet-
ing private combinations. The time 10 APP
proaching when not only this country. but
the world, must be laid out with n network
of railroads, planned not to satisfy this
greed Of grasping corporations, but with
convenience to the largest number, of
meeting not only the needs Of the present
bat of the future.
"Ihere is nothing impractical or utopiaa
about government ownership and control
of railroads. In Germany it has long been
an established success aud in several other
of the European monarohles it has proved
successful. Ii seems strange that this
country, whore tho great distances and in

railroad service such a gigantic factor in
national life. should have Jagged behind
the conservative countries of Europe. The
start here toward government control Of
railroads should lsnc aga have been made

WOULD COST MILLIONS.

Chicago Railroads Cannot Afford to
Elevate Tracks Entering That City.
A decidedly revolutionary move is pom
templated by the various railways entering
Chicago. Rather than elevate their tracks
they will transfer their base of operations.
1t is proposed to build a new belt line, with
which each road will max connections,
and all tracks, depots and other property
within the city limits to be absolutely
abandoned. The Chicago u Northwestern
estimates that to elevate the 100 miles OF
surface tracks which it owns in the city
will cost $65, 0Oo, 900. There are nearly ], 500
miles of surface tracks in Chicago proper,
and on this basis the cost of complete ele-
vation would run into figures somewhere
between 5000, 0O0, eco and 5000, 900, 900, or
nearly twice the amount it would cost to
duplicate the Atchisc,n system.
Northwestsrn's main. passenger station
would be at West Eighteenth street, and
passengers would BIZ obliged to use oabls
cars, L road trains or other means Of local
transportation to reach the city. In the
case of q ! passenger arriving at Chicago on
the Northwestern and bound to some point
farther east or south, q transfer train on
tho Belt line would take him at once to his
proper depot. 1t il proposed to sell all
railroad property in the city limits, and it
is believed that the amount 80 realized will
build the Belt line, all now depots and paw
all expenses attending the change and then
leave q surplus of more than $40, 600, 900 in
the aggregate.
Behind the scheme are all the Vanderbilt
roads, including the Chicago u Northwest
ern and six other companies. The motive
for this radical departure is the agitation
resulting from tbs daily horrors at grade
crossings, the loss of life in the aggregate
being appalling.
