w. M. Mcintyre is exhibiting, at the
Umatllla house. one of Edison's most
wonderful inventions, the kinetoscope, in
connection with the more familiar
photograph. By this truly wonderful
discovery in science, it is possible for
generations hundreds of years in the
future to not only hear the eloquence
of speaker of today, but see him, mark
his gestures and the expression of his
face. In this way the eloquence of
Henry Clay, the music OF Ole Bull, the
assassination of Abraham Lincoln would
all have been capable OF reproduction by
the triumph of Edison's electrical dis
covery, the kaleidoscope. This is the
second ever exhibited in The Dalles and
is worthy the Investigation of everyone
who can appreciate the gigantic strides
made in invention in latter years.

THE T.PAUL AFLOAT
Efforts to Pull Her Into Deep
Water Succeeded.
BELIEVED TO Be In GOOD CONDITION
Not Known Whether She Will
Co in Dry Dock.
STEAMED TO NEW YORK

NEW YORK, February 4.-The steamer
st. Paul of the International Navigation
Company's line which went ashore on the
sand bar off Long Branch week ago last
Saturday, was pulled off the bar this morn-
Ing The four wrecking tugs of the Mer-
ritt and Chapman wrecking companies
succeeded, with the aid of the kedge
anchors, in getting the ST. Paul from the
bar. Fifty minutes later the vessel passed
the Atlantic Highlands, bound for New
York. under her own steam
The work of the wrecking tugs yester-
day and last night resulted in the St. Paul
being moved about 130 feet seaward. When
the tugs went to work on the st. Paul this
morning there was 2GO feet between the
st. Paul and the deep water. Wind and
sea, and, in fact, all the conditions were
favorable for floating the stranded steam
ship.
Between and o'clock the telephone line
running from the vessel to the central Of
fee in Long Branch was cut off. This was
either due to the rolling of the ship or the
sleet on the wire. No attempt was made to
renew telephone communication with the
vessel
There were not many people on the shore
when the St Paul once again f1oated in deep
water. Most of those witnessing the sight
were Hfe-saving men, bcatmen and bay men
and some Of the villagers of Long Branch
AT q m it was noticed that the ST Paul
had full steam up, and her big screws began
to churn the water. Instantly the sea was
turned into a muddish color. Four tugs
were then pulling at her stern, and as the
tide was gradually rising the ST. Paul began
to move steadily.
She had soon moved her length, and at
9:;55 the big ocean liner ghded off of the bar
into thirty-nine feet of water. Then fol-
lowed cheers from those on shore and from
the crew of the st. Paul
The four tugs drew the big ship about
half q mile out from shore, when the nose
of the ST. Paul was turned toward New
Yo-k- Tbs St Paul seemed to be able to
proceed under her own steam and from the
shore it did not look as though she had
been injured by her ten days sojourn on
the sand bar. The tugs continued with the
ST. Paul as she headed for New York.
Manager Griscom said: "Our adv.ce5 from
Long Branch are that the st. Paul Is in
good condition. We had intended to take
her 10 the North river and anchor there.
We have changed that plan, however, and
she will steam direct to the dock at Pier
l5 at the foot of Fulton street. Another
inspection of the ship will be made then,

CONGRESS IS INTERESTED.
Imitation Butter and Cheese and ii
Laws Relating to Their Sale,

EX-Congressman Hatch Of Missouri who
is president of the National Dairy Union.
appear ed before the House committee on
ways and means yesterday afternoon in
support of the proposed bill to prevent the
sale of "filled'' cheese, with which the mar
ket is now flooded and to put stronger safe
guards about the dairy interests, SO as to
protect them more fully from the traffic in
the limitations Of dairy products. Mr.. Hatch
made a strong argument and presented some
remarkable figures to show the magnitude
Of the interests he represented. He declared
that while cotton was king in the south and
corn in the west, the amount invested
in dairy interests and dependent upon their
just and equitable protection was millions
more than that invested in the production
of corn and cotton combined.
The Committee was also addressed by
James Hewes, president of the produce ex-
change of Baltimore. AMI a vice president
of the National Dairy Union, and Mr.. Jas
r. Oyster of this city, also vice president
of the same organization. There were rep
resentativ.s in attendance from the mer-
camille exchange and produce exchange Of
New York, and the members of the COM
mittee displayed much interest in the pre-
sents tion of the facts in the case. Many Of
them had read the sct passed hy Congress
last Saturday, and thought that so far as
the District of Columbia was concerned
that statute covered the necessities and
expires sed surprise that the authorities here
had not been governed by it's provisions
long ago.
1t was then brought out that there had
been. up to 4 very short time ago, little
or no disposition shown by those in au-
thority tc take active measures to enforce
the laws relating to oleomarSarine. COM
missioner of Internal Revenue Miller was
before tho committee at o'clock today.
1t is saiG to DE probable that a resolution
will be shortly adopted by one of the
houses Of Congress directing the attention
of the authorities of the Treasury Depart
ment and the Department of Justice to The
laws on the statute books relating to
the traffic in imitation dairy products, and
asking for information about the disposi-
ton of cases heretofore brought under
them.- but which were not pressed to pros
ecution in the courts.

PANIC IN a HOTEL.
Slight Fire in the basement of the

Slight Fire in the Easement of the
Gilscy House Causes Alarm.
NEW YORK, February fire started in
the drying room in the basement of the
Gilsey House early today caused no lit
tie excitement among the 224 guests in the
house, many of whom became hysterical,
while others fell down stairs in their eff
forts to escape from the building.
For time the Railways were filed with
smoke, and there was every indication that
the building would be consumed. The fire
was discovered while the guests were still
asleep The watchman touched off the au-
tomato signals which communicated with
the various floors in the hotel TO alarm the
guests, and then hurried to the nearest
alarm box and turned in the fire alarm
Aroused by the ringing of the automatic
signals, the guests scrambled out Of bed and
into whatever clothing they could first lay
their hands on and then bolted out of their
rooms into the Railways. They found them
filled with smoke There was no end of
screaming by the women and shouting
by the men, many of whom rushed for the
elevator, while others ran madly for the
stairways. In their efforts to reach the
ground floor and the street, several women
fell down flights of stairs. Others crowded
into the elevators and were hurried down
to the dining room floor. The elevators took
load after load of the frightened guests to
places of safety.
Tie women were crowded into the dining
room and the men were allowed to care for
theuIselve IS Many of the guests had moth
ing on them but wraps or pajamas. While
In the dining room a number of women be-
came hysterical and a physician had to be
summoned Several servants who were on
the sixth floor, thinking that retreat had
been cut eff by the fames made for the
fire escapes and climbed down to the first
floor in the sight Of hundreds of people on
the sidewalks. At the first floor they were
taken into windows and cared for. On the
arrival of the engines in response to the
first alarm the smoke was so thick that
second alarm was sent in. In a short time
the fire Was extinguished and the guests
filed back to their apartm ents
The total damage will not amount to
more than 500.
