Scene of wild Disorder,

The complications raised 10y the alleged
discovery Of the faulty character of the
warrant WAS such that Mr. Cultivate, in
order to obtain Il breathing space. moved
an adjournment.
Mr.. Adams tried to make a statement,
but the chair declined to recognize him
pending the motion to adjourn. The mo
ton was lost-SS to l23. As soon as the
announcement of the vote was made Mr..
Sickles declared that he objected to further
proceedings under this warrant
1T does not contain single name" he
said, and is absolutely void. The sergeant
alarms is liable to an action by each men,
Der who has been arrested under it
Mr.. Springer insisted that the warrant
was authorized by the house Mr.. Reed
then attempted to change the form of his
motion so as to excuse Mr.. Adams on the
ground that the arrest was not authorized.
The gentleman from Maine cannot in
sert an argument into his motion, ;" return
ed the chair. But he has done so, re-
piled Mr.. Reed, with the utmost sang
froid. Again a dozen members tried to
make points of order The tangle and con
fusion seemed hopeless, and in the midst
Of the din Mr. Bland moved to adjourn.
Are you going TO adjourn and leave me
in chains asked Mr.. Sickles in a mock
piteousiy appealing fashion.
The motion to adjourn was then put. AS
Mr.. Bland, the recognized leader of the
fight, had made it, his supporters voted
with him, one of them-Mr. Pendleton of
TeXas-standing on top of his desk in the
rear of the hall. 1t was carried-l32 to lOl
and the house closed one of the most ex-
citing and disOrderly sessions of this con-
gress by adjournment.

The Flight of Bees.

w. N. g., In "FoIke eblsdet" Christisnis-l
 Many authors have attempted to snsEer this question, bat none have succeeded. Theoretically, the solution has been attempted by counting the number of wing beats per second and frsm that, to euess the distance the lees fly from their hives. The results have differed widely, vary ing fromI two to twelve English miles. According to Prof. Marcy's ''grsphIo method, ,n the bet 6 make ls0 wing beats per second. His method consists in fastening . bee in such way that Its wings are free to move, one of them touching lightly q rotating cyfin- der covered with smooth and lightly blackened paper. Prof. Lsndois, who has studied the sound apparatus of many aui- malls, thinks, from tue pitch of the sound made by the vibrating wings. that they move to and fro at the rate of 400 yibrs- ions per second-more than double Mar oy's results.
 According to Prof. Msrcy's 6eure, lso wing beats per second would bring the bees over distance of one English mile per min ute. If Prof. Lsndois is right, the distance would bs two miles. According to these estimates. 1t will not be far from the truth to say that bees fly about thirty English miles an hour, or that, during an absence of twenty minutes from the hive, they fly about ten to twelve miles. Host observers, however, are inclined to think that the bees do not fly more than eighteen to twenty miles an hour. because the wing beats of bee in freedom and under the
 observers instrument are not the came.
 Every one has observed the comparative ly slow flight of the bees when returning home, loaded with honey and pollen. Practical examination shows that expsr. | iments of this kind are not entirely reliable Better results are obtained by observing
 bees in distriots where bees never befori

A CONDITION vs, A THEORY,

A CONDITION vs. 4 THEORY.
 What free trade has helped to do for England is we'll set forth in the govern ment board of trade returns for last year. These show . great decline in exports. The aggregate exports of lsst year amount ed to $2, ,025, ,34o. .450, whish was e reduo- ton from 1899 of sos. .820. .os0, and from 1891 of $151, ,s57, ,s70. The chief falling of in both years, according to high govern msnt official, was in textile fabrics. Of this he saye: We have not only imported less raw cotton, but we have re-e1ported much more, mainly to Russia, whicn seems to be gradually enoroaching on our east ern trade in manufactured cotton goods. The flax and hemp imports still con- tinue to decline, and the wool imports show large decrease, both in quantity and value, SO that in every branch of our great textile industries less work Is being done, fewer people employed, and less profit earned. Our food imports are diminishing also. The decrease in our ex- ports of manufactured textile fabrics and yarns to foreign countries and the east is especially noticeable. The exports of yarns to Turkey, for instance, were S21 ,529. 900 as against 929. S54 900 in 1892. and f27,- S53, GOO in 1891; and the exports to Bom- bay about f11. 1.000, 900, as against s14,- 500, GOO in 1899. and upward of e17, ,00O. 900 in 1891. The exports to France fell from about f15. .O00, 900 in 1891 and upward of s10, ,250, GOO In 1892 to . little over as. GOO, : 900 last year. The Germans are outselling us everywhere, and are actually walking away with our trade In woolsn goods, the increase in exported woolen yarns to Ger many being ss remarkable ss the decrease in the export thither of woolen and worated goods.
 Protected Germany appears to be getting the better of fres trade England. But the ingenious free traders of this country osn probably find in the figures given above on argument for the adoption in this ooun try of policy which has had such results in England.

Will the Law and Order league, or some other league, pay little attention to the young barbarisns who run to and fro in our streets between the University gymna- sium and the University boat housei They don't have enough rags on, and what they do have on are not we'll arranged. It is barely possible that they couldn't legally be found guilty of indecent exposure, but their exposure is certainly not decent. Possibly they have . notion that their sx- alted rank as leaders in the march of intel leot in the great university absolves them from the ordinary decencies of life among white men and women. They may even think that the populace is pleased with their appear ancs. But we would remind them that when man reaches point where he feels entitled to trample on the common senti- ments of modesty that prevail in the race to which he belongs he is either too high or too low. And as for their appearance, 1t is about ss pleasing as that of a moulting Shanghai rooster.
 If neither the Law and Order league nor any other league has time to attend to this matter perhaps some robust and we'll dis posed man whose wife or daughter has been shamed by the proximity of one of these whelps will do the town the favor of rolling him in the mud until his original dirt is somewhat obscured.

THE NEW POsTMAsTER.


 It Is Postmaster Beach this morning, sure. His appointment was confirmed yesterday and he will enter into full do- minion as soon as the necessary arrange merts can be made, which will be, we suppose, about the first of next month. He has 6 hard task before him in succeed ing such postmaster as Mr. sperry has been, and an opportunity for conspicuous achievement. He has made wise and ssgscious move In asking the assistant postmaster and the heads of departments to retain their places for awhile. Any other course would have been very dis turbing.
 We wish the new postmaster full sue, cess. We saw no reason for @ change, and many sufficient reasons against change. But we can't have everything to please us, and now that MT. Beach has won the prise VIC wish him the full benefit of 1t. He has started in right, and If his future moves are characterized by the same ssgaeity and wisdom that have marked his first one he will come out all right. He Is young, ann bilious and energetic. He knows that New Haven has had and he will demand good postal seryies and will, of course, do his best to give 1t to her. Good luok to him.
