correspondence Sent the Senate Re
garding Their Alleged Estabiish-
ment in Disputed Territory.

| In response to resolution of the Senate
| concerning the reported establishment OF
| attempt to establish post routes by Great
| Britain or Canada, or upon United states
| territory In Alaska, and also respecting any
occupation or attempted occupation oi
| any portion of that territory py BRUSH
| or Canadian military or civil authorities or
any other attempt by the imperial or DO
| minion governments TO assert any claim 10
| territory OF the United States in Alaska,
| the President sent to the Senate yesterday
| a report on the subject from the Secre-
| tary of State, accompanied by corre-
spondence dealing with the matter.
The report and accompanying letters
| show that the State Department is not or
| ficiafly possessed of any diplomatic cor
respondence concerning the establishment
! OF British post routes by Great Britain or
| Canada, and the only information Dear
| ing on the subject is contained IN letter
| from Postmaster General Wilson, in whlcn
| he saws that one round trip by carrier was
contemplated by the Canadian postal au-
| thorities from Victoria. British Columbia,
| to Fort Cudahy, also in Canadian territory,
Via Junea Alaska, in United States ter
| ritory.
Secretary Olney also says that the de-
| partment is not officially possessed OF
any authentic correspondence or other in
| formation respecting any occupation or
attempted occupation, by other means
| than the establishment of post routes of
any portion of tie United States territory
| in Alaska by the ciyil or military autborl-
| ties of Great Britain or the Dominion OF

quest made to the United States authorities
and which was granted, that twenty
Canadian mounted police be allowed to
| pass through Seattle, Wash, and st.
Michael s, Alaska, on their way TO Canadian
| territory in Alaska.
Secretary Olney says in conclusion:
1.-THE Department of State is not Of
| ficiaIly possessed of any diplomatic cor
respondence or other information respect
ing any other attempt of Great Britain or

he MUST HOLD THE CAR
Decision Of Interest Handed Down
by Justice Shepard.
for Injuries Caused by Starting Car
Before the Passenger Is Seated 4

A decision OF interest to all who ride
on street ears was handed down by the
court OF appeals yesterday. The opinion
was written by Justice shepard
In il, the court for the first time states
directly, its view of the duty OF the street
car company through its employees TO the
passenger who seeks conveyance on its cars,
The case is that OF the Anacostia and
Potomac Railway Company against Heine-
man Klein. Mr.. Klein was drummer for a
Baltimore shoe house, and wanted to go
to Anacostia to visit customers there. He
signalled an Anacostia car in the business
part of this city. II was summer car, and
ne grasped the handle on the side post with
his left hand, while he swung his grip into
seat with his right, stepping upon the foot
board at the same moment.
While be was in this position the con-
ductor sgnalled, and the car started. jerk
ing him from the car, and throwing him
to the ground. He received injuries 20
his hip, from which he was laid up some
time.
The case was never reported to the
company's office by the driver and con-
ductor. Mr.. Klein sued for damages and
got a verdict for S3 900.
An appeal was taken on the ground that
the court failed TO instruct the jury property
on the subject of negligence on the part
Of the employees and of Mr.. Klein; also
because certain depositions were allowed
TO be introduced, contrary, it was claimed,
10 the rules OF the court.
On the point of negligence Judge Shepard
writes as follows:
I'VE hold that 1t was the duty of the
conductor to stop the car for the plaintiff
TO enter. Having done this il was his duty
to hold the car and not permit ii TO start
until the plaintiff had at least reasonable
time TO take safe position inside. A
failure TO do this constitutes negligence
and the court did not err in SO charging
the jury
AS to the admission of the dispositions
the court holds that an agreement by the
counsel for the company to-have the testf-
niony so taken was sufficient warrant, bat
even if this were not, an old Maryland law
unrepealed has the same effect. However,
the propriety of admitting the dispositions
does not rest upon these. Equity rule 60
was applied to law cases by action taken
on March %, 1877, and by some mad
vertence it was omitted in changes made
later. This rule provides for taking deposit
tions by order of court under such condi-
tioDs as here presented.
These conditions, as objected to. were
that the witnesses were not disabled in
any way from coming here and lived at
Baltimore, within 100 mics of Washing
ton.

read.
A report was received showing progress
in the matter of securing an extension of
the time limit for the railroad tickets ne xt
July. The committee felt quite confident
of the ultimate favorable action of the
Trunk Line commission.
A vote OF thanks TO Committees on Public
Grounds and Buildings in Senate aud House

SUNSHINE AT NIGHT
Startling Possibilities Of a Perfect
Light from Vibration
Tesla's Experiments and the Universal
Force That Gives Power to All Things
and lnheres in All

which possesses more than q chance relas
tionship; something that is not ex-
planned by the assumption of 'coinci-
dence," and that something is vibration.
We find in light seven colors, based
upon the primaries. In sound we find
seven notes, forming a scale that is based
upon three primary tones. In the case of
light the different hues are fixed by the
rate of their vibrations. In the case of
sound the tones are also fixed by the
rate of their vibrations. The science of
petrology-the science of rocks-teaches
that different rocks are distinguished by
the differences in the arrangeme ent of the
crystals forming the rock. And here again
we find the arrangement of the seven
basel on the triad.
AS yet, mankind is only upon the thresh-
old of what is known as electricity. That
wonderful something which, for want of
a better term. we call electrical energy,
who has seen it2 Who knows what 1t
actually is? Recently there has come upon
the world few men whose minds, un-
trammeled by dogmatic teachings, have
felt the touch of truth, and boldly reach
ing out have grasped some little knowl-
edge of the universal power. Tesla has
partly opened the gate. He has harnessed
few of the vibrating waves of light, and
the so-caIled scientific world" stands
awe-stricken as it witnesses the marvellous
demonstrations of his labors. He draws
from the ambient air flaming crown.
lights his workshop with the luminosity
of sunlight, without wires; charges the
human body with current of a million of
volts intensity, in utter defiance of all pre-
conceived ideas; and applying his knowl-
edge to practice produces the most perfect
electro-motor and dynamo known to elec-
trical science. The rotary field dynamo
devised by Nicola Tesla has revolution
lied the construction of electrical power
mechanism.
Each and all of Tesla's experiments and
inventions are based upon a recognition
OF the fundamental power of vibration.
The few simple illustrations supplied by
men like Tesla serve to call attention to
the great truth that all matter rests upon
a common basis, which is vibration. The
difference between the nebule in the con-
stellation of Orion and the paper you are
now reading is simply difference in the
rate of vibration of the two objects. 1t
was theory, it is to-day a theory sup
ported by some old-yiew physicists, that
The San Francisco call., 1896-10-18

the intersteilar space was occupied by
an indefinable, unexplainable substance
called ''ether." The fact is that interstel.
lar space is filled with matter-hydrogen,
oxygen. carbon, nitrogen ana their COM
pounds, besides solid material in the shape
of dust. The so-called elements are doubt
less in highly rarefed gaseous condition.
They are in constant motion-constantly
vibrating. Each sun of the universe ex-
ercises its magnetic attraction upon the
matter of space, causing it to flow to them
at their poles, changing its rate of vibra-
ton to that of heat, and then again re-
turning it from their equators to the great
cosmic reservoir. There cannot ever be
death of the SUM- in the sense of what
we term "death, statements of wise men
like Newcomb ct al to the contrary not
with standing. Throughout all that por-
ton of the universe understandable by hu-
man sense there is unceasing vibration.
In the phenomena of human life the
power of vibration is very plain. The
sphygmograph is an instrument by which
the beat Of the pulse may be recorded in a
tracing OF wavy lines upon moving strip
of paper. The serrated. wavy line is diff
ferent with different individuals. 1t shows
the rate OF the arteriai vibration. Attach
the sphygmograph to the wrist OF person
and allow the person to go to sleep. The
tracings upon the paper appear regular
and characteristic of the subject. But
while the subject is sleeping allow another
person to clasp hold of the subjects arm
and at on ce the sphygmograph exhibits
evidence of the interjected vibration. The
character of the recorded line is changed,
and if the vibratory force of the intruder
be strongest the record will be of that
rate, to the extinguishment OF the lesser.
Slowly but surely the higher intelIects
are grasping the knowledge of vibratory
force. Necessarily the advance in appli-
cation must be slow, but as the knowledge
progresses more Teslas will appear, and
the coming age will witness the utiliza-
ton to the ends of mechanics. Then will
it be that the triad OF dimonsional space
will broaden into the understanding ofthe
other dimensions based upon the familiar
three OF depth, breadth and length, just
as the multi-coloTs of the spectrum are
born of the red, yellow and blue.

with elaborate and expensive contrivances
who can engage in valuable observations.
The radiant points of the meteor swarms
have been necessarily decided by visual
estimates. The falling star gives no time
for measurements. Any attentive star
gaZer that has a celestial globe or map in
readiness can mark on it the seeming
routes, and then at leisure prolong them
in the directions contrary to that of the
flights. The meeting point of the various
lines will be the radiant of the swarm, for
as they really approach the earth in nearly
parallel lines their divergent tracks are a
matter of perspective from our standpoint.
Or if two persons cooperate and watch
some miles apart, fixing their attention
on one constellation and noting the mo-
ment of flight, the difference of the SEEM
ing positions of Identical meteors will be
clew to their height from the earth's sur
face. At dusk on November 13 the ra-
diant point in Leo will be near the nadir
and the Leorids may be then looked for
equally all round the heavens, but before
