The Kansas Senatorial Matter to BE Re-
opened at Washington. 81
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The senate
committee on elections decided to enter
upon the Investigation of the election of
Hon. John Martin of Kansas as u mem
Der of the United States senate, in accord
ance with the petition of Hon. Joseph w.
Ady, who claims to have been elected
in the place of Martin to fill the unex-
pired term Of the late Senator Plumb.
The senate ordered this investigation
during the F~ifty-second congress, but
the matter had been allowed to rest so
long that it was regarded as one of the
dead issues.
The principal point involved is the
legality of the Dunsmore or Populist
house of representatives. II was by this
body. acting with q majority of the
senate, that Mr.. Martin was declared to
have been elected, while the Douglas, on
Republican house, declared to be consti.
tutional, acting with q portion of, the
senate, afterwards voted for Nh. Ady fol
the senate, ON account of which action
he claims to have been elected.
The senate committee on elections will
investigate, and after it shall have made
its report, the senate will discuss the
question.
1t is probable, in the senate, If not IN
committee, the contest will take ON 3
partisan tinge. The result of the cleo
tons has led the Republican senators Il
feel new hope of regaining the senate
and they are not likely to leave AM
stone unturned to aid in completing tina
result. The Democrats having a major
ity, however, have the matter in theii
own hands, 80 that If it should become
party question, Mr.. Martin would 9
i comparatively secure.

TO COIN SILVER.
Senator voorhees, Introduces a Bill
to Coin Two Million Seignorage
a Month.
When the ~Seignorage Is All Coined a
Similar Amount Shall Be Pur-
chased Monthly.
Democrats Decide to Dispose of Terri
torial Admission Bills Before
Tackling the Tariff.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Senator Voor-
hees, chairman of the finance committee,
has introduced a bill for the coinage of
seignorage on the treasury stock of sill
yer, at the rate of 8 1000, 900 q month.
After this seignorage fund is all coined,
monthly silver purchases are to be re-
sumed sufficient to coin s., 1000, 600 a
month. Provisions are made for the
appointment of commissioners to an
other international monetary confer
ence. The bill was referred to the
finance committee.
The federal elections bill was placed
on the calendar. A joint resolution re-
lieving the employees who We're injured
in the Ford theater disaster in the Dis
tic ct of Columbia from the operation of
tho law restricting the amount of sick
leave with pay that may be granted by
heads of department was reported and
passed. On motion of Mr.. Cameron it
was agreed that when the senate ad-
journed it will be until Monday next.
House bill to provide for two addi-
tional associate justices of the supreme
court of Oklahoma territory was re-
ported with amendments, and as
amended passed. A conference with
the house committee was asked on the
amendments. Messrs. Villas of Wis
consin, Lindsay of Kentucky, and Plat
were appointed conferees on the part OF
the senate.
Neither Side Pleased.
The anti-silver men do not like the
feature of the bill providing for the coin
age of seignorage because they say that
the coinage of this portion of the silver
bullion would weaken the security OF
the notes outstanding against that bull
ion as an entirety. On the other hand,
the extreme silver men are not pleased
with the bill as a whole. Senator Stew
art, in speaking of it, denounced it O. a
''sham and a fraud"

To Light the Bosporus.

A Greek engineer who pursued his
studies in this country has prepared a
plan for the electric lighting of the Bos-
porus from Kanak to Sap Stefano. on

accomplish this by building three ma.
chimes or engines at Armout Koei, Kan

rent is unusually strong. The plan has
appeared SO simple and feasible that q

piled to the Turkish government for per.
mission to carry it out. The ministry
now has the matter under consideration
and it is believed that it will be favora,

she is allowed to recognize the fate that

Speaking about corn and cholera, !"
said W. III. Carr formerly chief clerk at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel, 81 remember
an amusing incident that came under
my observation. A titled foreigner, who
evidently had never studied agriculture,
was guest of the house. One day l
happened to sit at the same table with
him. The waiter served lot of side
dishes, including corn. The titled guest
inspected an ear and then laid it back on
the plate. Taking his knife and fork he
began to dissect it, cutting it into slices
and strips. He jabbed his fork into the
center of the cob and left it there The
other guests at the table tried to conceal
their emotions with napkins. A gentle
mar sitting near me ordered some extra
ears to show the foreigner how to get
away with the corn. There was a pro-
found silence all around the table, espe-
cially near the would be corn eater. The
following day the titled visitor ordered

A device patented by a French in
ventor is designed to facilitate rope
cli,nhing, while at the same time per-
mltung the climber to have free use
OF his hands. The apparatus consists
OF two boards joined by strong
hinge, a hole passing through both
the hinge and the boards.
The extremities of the boards are
provided with straps. which can be
fastened to the feet of the man using
the device. The method of climbing
by this apparatus is simple. When
the feet attached to the boards are
lifted the rope is false, but the mo-

Republican Taxation is for the Benefit Of
Few Only.
Republicans claim that taxation OF
everybody for the benefit of somebody
results in extraordinary prosperity. So
indeed it does, but its operation is linn
tied to somebody. The benefit is not
general; it is not everybody's. 1t results
from the Republican effort to take care
of som ebody at the expense of everybody

mission to the fold aud to the benefit of

not cared for they will assist to pull
down the whole fabric. 1t thus results
that tariff laws have become, as Presi-
dent Cleveland described them, vicious,
inequitable, illogical and imposing I'M
necessary burdens. The Democratic de-
mand is that this policy of taxing every
body for the benefit of somebody shall
cease and that nobody shall have the
advantage of anybody as result OF legis-
lation under a constitution which was
framed for the general welfare.

During a shooting match in the
presence of the Governor OF Canda-
har, the latter noticed to his astonish-
ment that the heads OF sparrows were
the favorite butt of the marksmen,
who but seldom missed their aim.
Whereupon he declared that it was
far more difficult to hit an egg.
Sir Peter laughed at the SUPPOSE
ton, but the Sidar stood his ground
and the matter was put to the test.
An egg was suspended from wall,
and the soldiers fired at it, but strange
to say not one of them hit the egg.
The governor and his suite kept
their countenance and excused the
non-success of the firing party on the
ground of the difficulty of the thing.
AT last a bali harpened to hit the
thread to which tn egg was fastened
and it fell 20 the ground without
breaking. Now the mystery was
solved.
The cunning Afghan had used a
blown egg, and the feather weight
shell had been moved aside each time
by the current of air in front of the
ball Nod thus escaped being hit.

How is this to be accounted for? The
best answer comes from Mr.. Dockery,
who furnishes list OF appropriations

necessary:

passed during the last Congress:
