CAPITOL TOPICS.


The cooler weather and the certainty
made clear by Senator Cockrelrs aggressive
tactics yesterday that there is to be a long
fight in the Senate on the silver bill are
having their effect upon Congressman, and
they are beginning to settle down for the
winter. Up to today most of The new Con-
gressmen and many of the older Repre-
sentatives have given their temporary adj
dresses at one or other of the hotels. Now
they are looking about for houses and pri-
vate apartments and are bringing on their
families for the season. All of which is
significant that no adjournment of the ex-
ira session, and possibly only a brief recess,
can be looked for.
Tariff Hearings ON Monday.
Hearings on the tariff will begin before
the ways and means committee Of the
House on Monday.
Committee Clerks.
Mr.. Rusk from the committee on accounts
today reported the resolution distributing
the clerkships provided by the appropria-
ton bill among the various committees. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Paynter of Ken
lucky will make a minority report recon-
mending as a measure of economy that a
number of committees, to the extent of
fifteen, it is said, be deprived of their
clerks it being claimed that the committees
never meet and the clerks sole duties are
confined to the task Of drawing their sal-
aries.

FLYING Machines Will Come.

From the Cnlcago lbter-oCean-
Mr. Edison laughed heartily when In
formed yesterday that Chicago was the
hot-bed of the world for airship inventors
II know it," he said. They haven't found
the secret vet, but they will some day. 1t
will come"
Have you ever entered the airship field
yourself?'' asked the reporter.
Yes, indeed, have. l have tried a num-
Der of devices. but they haven't worked.
Once placed an aerial motor on a pair of
Fairbanks scales and set it going. 1t light
ened the scales. but 1t didn't fly" And the
wizard laughed at the recollection.
Another time | rugged up umbrella
like disc of shutters, and connected it with
a rapid piston i'm perpendicular cylinder.
These shutters would open and shut. If
could have gotten sufficient speed. say a
mile a second the inertia or resistance of
the air would have been as great as Steel
and the quick operation of these shutters
would have driven the machine upward
But couidn't get the speed. / believe that
before the airship men succeed they will
nave to do away with the buoyancy cham
Der. But the secret will come out some day
/ am sure"
Like the world at large. which ridiculed
the first locomotive, the first telephone and
almost every great innovation, Edison takes
a humorous view of all his experiments.
and seemingly enjoys a failure "I have
tried all kinds of plans to explain psychical
force" he said with smile. I'VE expert
mented on hynoptism by placing a mans
head in an immense magnetic plane. but it
DIDN'T work. We tried telepathy. too. but
without success"
Have you any more wonders like the
photograph in the experimental stage?"
NO. nothing but the kincgraph which is
now almost perfect 1t reproduces, by a
rapid succession of small photographs,
every motion of object. 1t was very
hard to get the exact grimaces of the face
or the clear workings of a mans fingers
playing the piano. but We perfected II az
last. / am very anxious to have one on ex-
hibition at the fair, but we will not have II
finished IN time"
