Professor Morse had an ONCE in
the Supreme Court rooms In the Cap.
itol. On the eventful morning the
connection was completed, and after
testing the current OF electricity was
found to DE perfect and strong.
Morse and then Miss Ellsworth were
at the instrument In the Office at the
Capitol. Alfred Vail was at the Mount
Clare depot in Baltimore. And now
Professor Morse called upon Miss Ellis
worth TO send the first message, which
had been suggested TO her by her
mother: "What God hath wrought"

flashed across the wire from Wash

How the Earth's Help Was Discovered.
AS first put into operation the tel
egraph employed two wires to form
the circuit, Professor Morse not know
ing that the earth would compete
the circuit. Amos Kendall, then
Postmaster General, is authority for
the story telling how Morse discov-
cred that the earth was conductor
of electric ty. After about ten days
working cOuntryman came into the
ONCE in the Capitol to tell Professor
Morse that one OF his wires was down
out at Bladensburg. Morse said he
guessed not-the wires were working
all right" and paid no attention to
the information. The next day an
other man came In and said that IL
Professor Morse did not look out wag-
ous would catch In his wires and tear
them all to pieces; that both wires
were down at Bladensburg.
Morse wanted TO dispute the mans
statement even then, but finally de-
termined to 60 out and see for him
sell. He found that more than 100
yards of wire had been torn out by
passing wagons, and the ends were
grounded. Then for the first time it
dawned upon him how the earth
might be Of assistance in telegraphy.
He connected the ends, returned to
the city and ran the two wires to the
ground, not knowing that one would
be sufficient Then he had two wires
TO Baltimore and could operate one
or both. Professor Morse ordered
additional instruments and put the
second wire into service.

SUGAR TRUST WINS.
The Compromlse Schedule II Passed ~
the senate.

the senate.
The compromise amendments TO tho
sugar schedule were all adopted In the
Senate Tuesday and the pivotal
schedule on which the fate OF the tariff
measure depended went through with
out change. On the vital amendment
10 place all sugars on the free list the
Democratic Il g was drawn, Mr.. Hill
voting In favor of it and Mr.. Irby being
paired the same way. But the Re-
publicans were unable to hold their
own forces intact, Messrs. Henderson
and Perkins voting against the
amendment and Mr.. Quay being paired
against it, while Mr.. Sherman,
VINO was present, did not vote at
all. Only one OF the Populists, Mr..
PETER, voted for free sugar. Messrs.
Kyle and Allen in the final issue joined
with the majority against it. II all the
Republicans, with the three Populists
and the two disatfected Democrats, had
joined hand, sugar, raw and refined,
would have gone on the free list. On
all the other amend nets offered by the
Republ. cans the majority against them
ranged from three to ten.
A Washington correspondent says
that the adoption OF the sugar schedule
practically insures the passage OF the
bill at an early date, although 1t Is in
tinlated that the Republicans will make
final stand on this sche 1ule when the
bill is reported and considered in tho
Senate.
AS adopted, the schedule imposes q
duty OF ~ per cent. ad valorem on all
sugars raw and refined, with differ
entail of one eighth of a cent pound
on sugars above Is Dutch standard
and an additional one tenth of a cent
against sugars imported from coun-
tries paying an export bounty. 1t con-
times the Hawaiian tire atty admitting
sugars from the Sandwich islands free
o; duty, and places duty OF cents
gallon on molasses testing above 40 de-
grees by the pola -iscope. The schedule
goes into effect Jan. !, 1895, and the
bounty is continued up to that date.
Compromise Amendment Passed.
Mr.. Jones offered the "comprC m Sc
amendment fixing the duty on raw and
10 ined sugar at 40 err cent. ad valo-
rem, with a differential # one-eighth
of / cent on sugars above IL Dutch
standard and an additional one tenth
on sugars imported from countries CIV
ing an expert bounty, continuing the
Hawaiian treaty in force and imposing
a duty of 2 cents gallon on molasses.

Prof. Samuel f. B. Morse invented

Even then, being a poor man, he
found it impossible to put it In op-
Grafton. After he had exhausted
every resource within his power to

thought came to Professor Morse Of

STRIKERS SHOT DEAD.
Mob of Coke Workers at Lemont, Pa,
Fight with Deputies.

Fight with Deputies.
The bloody and riotous scenes OF a
few weeks ago are being repeated
throughout the coke region, and ter
ror reigns on every hand. A fierce
battle occurred Sunday forenoon be-
tween deputies and strikers at the Le-
mont mines of tho Mcclure Coke Com
pany, located three miles north OF
Uniontown, Pa, in which one man was
shot dead and three others fatally in
jured, two of whom have died since and
another will die within the next TWEEN
ty-four hours. All are Saws and strik-
ers from the LemC Mt plant, whore the
conflict occurred.
The battle was one OF the fiercest In
the history Of the strike, about fifty
volleys toing fired. The st ikers had
assemb ed, nearly 100 in number, and
had in their possession four workmen
fir IN the Valley plant of the II. G.
Fricke Coke Company, whom they had
captured On Saturday afternoon, and
were holding pr. soners at the company
houses. A posse of deputy sheriffs un-
der Matt Allen attempted to rescue
the workmen and were fired on by the
strikers, who were we'll armed with
revolvers, clubs, and sones. This
precipitated the battle, which last
ed fifteen minutes. Volley aftel
volley was fired at range O.
only seventy-fve feet, and the shots
were fired to kill. The deputies
were all armed with Winchesters and
revolvers, while the strikers were
equipped with nearly fifty revolvers.
In addition to those killed and wounded
by bullets from the Winchesters the
clothes of the deputies were shot full
of holes and several of them were bad
ly injured with stones and clubs.

At this writing the contest is in
somewhat chaotic state, although the
friends of Mr.. Lienau seem very con-
fident of ultimate success.
Itis understood that Secretary Carlisle
favors Mr.. Lienau because he believes
it good politics to have strong German

state.
Capt. Harries is backed by Congress-

Clough Dehes Washburn.

Little Falls Transcript.
Senator Washburn is at home in Min
neapolis, and some of the Republican
papers of that city are shelling the
woods to see if any enemies can be
driven into sight. The Tribune charges
that there is conspiracy to make Sabin
senator again, and that Gov. Nelson is
rather friendly to him. The Pioneer
Press takes up the discussion, and states
that Washburn's opposition is located
right at home. 1t is probable that the
present agitation will result in treaty
between the different Republican ele-
ments in Minneapolis. Dave Clough.
who was Washburn's leader in his sue
cessful campaign, is supposed just now
to be defying the Washburn crowd.

GLADSTONE EULOGIZED.
Rosebery and Harcourt Praise the

RoSeDery ana harcOUrt Praise the
Liberal Leader and His Policy.
LONDON, March 12.-The house of
commons assembled shortly after 4
O'Clock. The Irish members gave a
most enthusiastic welcome to John Nor
ley'S announcement OF the eyicted ten
ants bill. After the address in reply to
the queens speech had been proposed
and seconded, Rt. Hon. A. j. Balfour,
the Conservative leader, criticised the
queens speech.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the
Liberal leader, opened his reply to Mr..
Balfour with a glowing eulogy of Mr..
Gladstone, dwelling upon the great
loss which the house had sustained. and
i'll so doing took occasion to deny that
any discord existed in the cabinet in re-
gard to African questions.
Sir William said he was glad Mr..
Balfour admitted the present tranquil
ity of Ireland, although he refused
to admit that it was due to the govern
ment's policy. The government in
tended 10 adhere to the bills they had
promised, and If they were not passed
this year they would be passed in 1895.
4:l5 p. IN. the house of lords resumed
consideration of public business. Baron
Swansea moved the address in reply to
the speech from the throne.
Lord Salisbury, after eulOglZing Mr..
Gladstone. said he had no doubt that the
house would find Lord Rosebery to be
jealous defender of the legislative
privileges of the house of lords.
Lord ROSebery said that the govern
dl.SI Irn n eli irI-
the question of home rule for Ireland,
but explained that it had not been men-
toned in the queens speech because it
would not be introduced during this
session. Lord Salisbury" the premier
said, wants 10 appeal TO the country
We are not afraid to appeal to the coun-
try when we think the time is ripe, put
we shall never concede to this hereditary
assembly the right to force a dissolu-
ton"
Referring to ireland. the premier
said the present satisfactory condition
was due 10 remedial measures and the
promise of home rule. OF course the
decision rested upon England. but he
believed the conversion Of England to
home rule would not be a difficult task
when the Irish people showed by their
conduct that they are worthy OF ii. In
conclusion, Lord Roseberry said that
ireland would never be contented until
she had obtained home rule. The house
then adjourned.

DESERVING His Post.

Winona Herald
And SO Senator Washburn is coming
home to look after his fences. OF
course. Senator Washburn is paid big
salary and enjoys the per9uisites and
privileges of the senate for the express
purpose of absenting himself from the
senate and looking after his selfish per-
sonal interests. In the ante -bellum days
a senator would have seorned the petty
tricks and scandals so common in the
election of senators since the Repubii-
cans inaugurated an era of personal
usufruct in the employment of public
Office and patronage. Senator Wash
burn, in harmony with the practice of
his party, considers public Office pri-
vate trust, and feels justified in deselt-
ing his post in the midst of a session,
and coming home to manipulate the
wires for reelection.

A Lecturers Device.

New York Evening sun.
Since readings have come to be nu M
bered among the diversions of the sea-
son, an innovation adopted by Fran
cisque Sarcey may be recommended.
At Sarcey's lectures te women he
always had on each side of him two
instruments that looked like gasom-
eters. These held oxygen. Whenever
Sarcey saw any of his fair hearers yawn
he turned on the oxygen. This acted
like bracer. His audience soon re-
dressed itself, and took on a renewed
air of apprehension. When this was
accomplished the lecturer turned the
oxygen off.
