New Scientific Theory.

SAN Francisco, June 2O-Robert
Stevenson, member of the Academy of
Sciences, in lecture before that body, de-
clared that the true cause of gravity had
at last been discovered. Newton's theory
of centripetal force is proven to be simply
a delusion as complete ms the Ptolemaic
delusion of the motion of the heavens. Ac-
oording to the new theory, there is no
need for an atherial medium to transmit
force or energy, as both can be made to
pass through vacuum without any ac-
companying matter The lecturer said
that facts stated already have been for
several months in the hands of Lord Lei
vim, president of the Royal society, and,
according to. this new law, any weight
whatever, if given horizontal velocity near
the surface of the earth equal to /, ,036 feet
per second would never fall to the earth,
and if a disc Of any weight be rotated free
in horizontal plane with resultant We
locity or momentum of velocity equal to
1,036 per second the disc would lose all its
weight; so that the construction of flying
machines is only a question of engineering
skill and capital.

LONG ISLAND CITY, L. l., June 20-Five
big safes in the office of City Treasurer
Bleckwenn, containing all the books and
records of his department, were seized by
Deputy Sheriff Walter to satisfy a judg-
ment for s27057 obtained against this city
by Michael Hand. Treasurer Bleck wenn,
Deputy Treasurer kaufman and Clerks
Crowley and Boyd tried to get possession
of the books and papers. They grabbed
up everything available and rushed out of
the place with them. While the deputy
sheriff was trying to close the safes, Treas
urer Bleckwenn held consultation with
Mayor Sanford and Corporation Counsel
Stewart. The latter said that the seizure
was illegal, as the court prevented the
sheriff taking possession of any city prop
erty in use. Mr.. Hand owns n house on
Eighth street, this city. There was a case
of smallpox in his house during an cpl
demic of the disease here over a year ago.
The city was without a pest-house at the
time, and several smallpox patients were
removed to Hands house despite his pro-
test He sued for $500 damages.

BLACKMAIL SCHEME.
Latest Developments in the Delaney
Murder Case at Buffalo.

BUFFALO, N, Y, June 20-Mrs George
Bartholomew, wife of the man who killed
ex-City Clerk VIM. E. Delaney, has con-
fessed that the visit of herself and her hus-
band to Delaney apartments was part of
a blackmailing scheme. She says that her
intimacy with Delaney was part of the
scheme as planned by her husband. Ac-
cording to her story, she was reluctant to
be placed in the position, but she declares
her husband insisted upon it as being a
necessary part of the plot. Mrs. Bartholo-
new says that after her husband and the
Thorner woman had come there, and she
and Delaney had confessed to their init
macy, Bartholomew demanded money from
the lawyer. To avoid trouble the latter
said he would pay the injured husband for
the wrong he had done him. Delaney then
sent Mrs. Thorner for the paper and ink
with which to write a check. While she
was gone, it flashed across the mind of the
lawyer that this might be blackmaili ing
scheme, since his intimacy with Mrs. Bar
tholomew had been only during the last
few weeks Rather than be q victim to
this and the subsequent demands which
would be made, Delaney made dash for
the door. He did not, Mrs. Bartholomew
says raise chair to strike her husband.
The latter, according to her confession,
shot Delaneysin cold blood

Nautical Opinion.

LONDON, June 20.-The Graphic, COM
menting on the voyage of the Vigilant,
says: "If Atlantic voyages were to be
taken into account as an augury of the
coming trial between English and Ameri-
can yachts the victory would not be with
the English; but the Valkyrie is not the
only antagonist the Vigilant has to meet.
The race between the Vigilant and the
Britannia will be the most interesting
ever seen in the annals of yachting. If we
are beaten we will take our defeat with
good grace. The Americans have learned
much of us in the matter of yacht build
ing and we can well afford to learn some
thing in return"

GREAT FALLS Mont, June 20.-A das-

Ill. 1t was thrown out, and it killed the

WAsHINGToN, June 20.-The first result
of Secretary Herberts Pacific coast tour is
an official investigation of the new Puget
sound naval station. Captains Asserson,
Menocal and Prindle, of the civil engineers
corps left New York very privately for
Seattle on a mission which has been care
fully guarded. The Importance attached
to their trip will be appreciated when it
is stated that they are ranking officers of
their corps, Captain Asserson being in
charge of the Brooklyn yard and Captain
Menocal Of the Norfolk yard. 1t is under
stood that their expert opinion is required
as to the usefulness of the new dry dock
costing $500, 600 now under construction.
Some doubt has arisen as to whether its
foundations are strong enough to carry
the great ships of the navy for which it
was designed 1t is said the contractor
has not been driving the piles as deep as
called for by the specifications, and that
an effort has been made to use inferior
concrete in the work. The contractor
claims that he cannot drive the piles as
deep as demanded by the navy department,
as the soil is harder than was indicated by
the preliminary borings made before the
specifications were drawn, and that the
work he has done is good enough for all
practical purposes anyhow. He is further
of the opinion that the specifications for
mixing the required TO- 600 cubic feet of
| rubble concrete are unnecessarily severe.
| To settle these questions three ranking
officers are despatched across the country
| at considerable expense to the government,
which Secretary Herbert thinks is much
better policy than having the dock prove a
failure when an emergency arises for
promptly docking a 10000 ton battleship.

QUICKSILVER ON TOP
Finance Committee Sus-
tainS Its First Defeat

WASHINGTON, June 20-Yesterday's
proceedings in the senate were made mem
oraDle by the fact that the finance COM
mlttee sustained its first defeat in the
management of the tariff bill 1t came at
the close of the session when there We're
more absentees on the democratic side OF
the chamber than was consistent with
assured victory on that side. The subject
of 1t was quicksilver. This had been
placed on the free list by the house, and
the senate finance committee reported IL
without amendment. An attack upon it
was made by Senator Perkins (rep., CALI
who argued that its adoption would mean
the ruin of the quicksilver mines Of Cali
fornia and the delivery of the control of the
quicksilver markets of the world to Roths-
childs, who have contracts for the entire
supply of the quicksilver mines of Spain
and Austria. Mr.. Perkins argument was
backed by Mr.. Lodge (rep, Mass.), Mr..
Platt (rep., Comm and Mr.. Stewart (pop.,
Nev.), and the democratic senator from
California Mr. White, although paired
and not voting gave it some support in
the shape of n letter from a representative
of the quick ksilver industry in California,
setting out facts
The opposition to the finance committee
was only passive, not active, On the vote
to strike the paragraph from the free list
Senators Hill and Morgan (democrats) and
the four populist senators-Allen, Kyle,
Pefler and Stewart-voted with the repub-
licons, and the motion was carried-yeas
3d. nays, 20.
Quicksilver was then placed on the duti-
able list without opposition or division at
the rate of seven cents a pound. Thirty
three pages of the bill were disposed of dur
ing the day, and when the salt paragraph
was reached the senate, at 6:25 adjourned.
House of Representatives.
| Among the bills passed in the house was
one directing the secretary of the interior
to sell at public auction 100 900 acres of
| pine land on the Chippewa reservation,
| Minnesota, and one to surrender to the city
! of Newport, KY, for park purposes, the old
site Of the Newport barracks, situated at
the confluence of the Ohio and Licking
rivers.
The day was chiefly spent III general de-
bate on the Hatch anti-option bill, speeches
against it being delivered by Messrs.
| Coombs dem, n. " and Aldrich (rep,
| lll.), and a speech in its favor by Mr.. Sib-
| ley dem, Pa.). Mr.. Fletcher (rep., MINI }
had read letters from actual wheat buyers
in Minneapolis protesting against the pas
sage of the bill. In presenting them Mr.
| Fletcher said that statistics showed that
for five years past at Chicago, the average
! price of May wheat as a future had been
five cents a bushel higher than the article
commanded as spot article In that month,

Somathina Wr0nl.

About two months ago Clint A.
Woodbury., resident of Deering,
and general manager of the Port
land, Maine, dry-plate company,
died. The autopsy by local physi-
clans did not determine the cause
of death satisfactorily to the insu-
rance companies in which he held
heavy policies, and the stomach
and kidneys of the dead man were
sent to Prof. Robinson, of Bowdoin
college, for analysis.
The professor has reported that
enough prussic acid was found in
the stomach to cause death. There
is evidence of special import to
support theory of murder or sui
eide, and, taken together, the case
is one of deep mysteryin every de-
tail. The dead was insured, so it
is claimed, in the Mutual Life and
New York Life, of New York, for
one hundred thousand dollars, di :
vided equally between the two COM
panies.
