to Intervene TO stop the War
CHICAGO. Nov. ia special from
Washington says: This government
has again been asked to intervene IN
the China-Japanese war. The last time
the invitation came from the quadrupie
alliance and was refused This time
the invitation comes from China her
self. but ii. too. will in all prob
ability be refused. Its refusal OF
acceptance Will depend on to-day's ac-
ton OF the cabinet. which has the in
vitation under consideration. The in

China that the United States cooper

The Next SENATE
Figuring on Possibilities and Contingencies
New States May Cut Qdite n Figure In
Itn Political Comuiexiou.


New States May Cut Qdite a Figure I'm
Ita Political Complexion.
WASHINGTON, Nov. ia point that
has been overlooked in computing the
political complexion of the next senate
is the admission of Utah, with two sem
ators. The act of the last session Of
congress admitting Utah provides that
in March, 1895, the constitutional con-
vention shall be held On the first
Tuesday after the first Monday of that
year the constitution to be sub
United to the people and, if
ratified and found by the president to
be in accordance with the act, he will
issue proclamation admitting it as a
state. The act also provides that a
representative to the Fiftyfourth con-
gress shall be elected at the same time
the vote is taken upon the constitution:
also that state officers and a legislature
shall be chosen, and that if the consti-
tuition is ratified the legislature shall
Immediately meet and elect two United
States senator's
As there is about a month from the
/ time the election is held until congress
meets. there will be ample time to have
all the formalities complied with and
Utah proclaimed a state in time for its
senators and representatives to partici-
pate in the organization of the next
congress. This would make in all
ninety senators and. as the next sem
ate now stands. the politics of the
Utah senator's would cut an important
figure.
Another probability which arises is
the admission of both New Iexico and
Arizona. which may be accomplished
in time so that four more senators
would participate in the organization
of the next senate. Bills have already
passed the house for the admission of
both these territories. The senate
committee on territories has reported
them favorably to the senate and
they are now on the calendar.
Senators of both parties have
been urging their passage and it
is more than likely that neither
party would oppose them because OF
the effect it would have upon the cleo
tions. as the people are anxious for adj
mission and would resent opposition by
any party to that end. 1t is, there
fore. quite likely that the battle for
the control of the senate will vet be
| fought out in Utah. New Mexico and
Arizona next year. The admission OF
these new states would make total OF
ninety-four senators, and any party to
control would need forty-eight for a
majority.

TO BE TESTED.
standardization Elecfricity XIII

The ElecfrOcuttO0 OF CRIMINALS To he In.
vestigated-Does Electricity XIII?
ALBANY, n. ". Nov. i2.-Gov. Flow
er is willing to allow experts to make a
test to ascertain whether a man killed
in the electrical chair can be resusci-
tated. To a press representative he
made this statement when his atten-
ton was called to the printed allega-
tions that certain physicians would ask
for such permission. II am perfectly
willing to allow the experiment to be
made, if it is in my power under the
law. think it would be- a good thing
to have this long standing controversy
at once and forever settled"
Ever since the adoption of the cleo
trical execution act by the state the
Westinghouse people, whose dynamos
are used. have declared that electricity
was not the cause of death, but that
death was assured by the holding of
an autopsy directly after the body had
been taken from the electrical
Nicola Tesla, the famous cleo
trician. contended that he could
bring back to life a man killed
in an electrical chair. provided the
attempt was made Immediately after
execution. Mr.. George Westinghouse
has always asserted that electrical
death was a sham, and that New
York commission headed by Elbridge
T. Gerry had added the autopsy clause
to the law so as to make it certain that
the man was dead. Within the last
few weeks the agitation of the subject
has become prominent, and an appeal
is to be made to the governor to allow
/ the next man condemned to be
used as subject to be experimental
On. The governor says he will grant
permission to do this. The attempt, il
made. will undoubtedly create great
excitement and intense interest in the
/ scientific world. 1t will also arouse
curiosity among laymen. because if
successful it will bring to life new
man who cannot be executed, having
once suffered the penalty of death. 1t
will also prove that the state execu-
! TONERS have been the surgeons. who
have held the autopsy, rather than the
state electrician.

A NEW ASTRONOMICAL INSTRUMENT.

a New ASTRONOMICAL INSTRUMENT.
A new astronomical instrument termed
sextuple Photographic telescope, has
been completed by Warner & Swazey,
of Cleveland, Ohio. and is about to be
shipped to New Haven, Conn. 1t will
be placed in one of the Yale Observable
ries, and though intended for general
astronomical photography, will begin lis
picture-taking with the appearance OF
the August meteoric displays. In Ger
tain respects, it is unique among pho
Geographic telescopes, aud may revolu-
tionize pre-ent methods of work. II
has six cameras instead Of one, aud to-
gether they cover field in the sky
equal to that which would be occupied
by 2,400 full moons.
By the use of the new instrument on
the meteors, it is expected to develop
new facts relating to their height above
the earth. The astronomers vii! place
single telescopes at distances of two
miles from the sextuple instrument,
and, by means of electrical connections
will photograph simultaneously. The
plates will then be compared and cal.
culations will be made with view of
establishing the distance of the meteors
from the earth.
