Electricity.

Emerson says that language is fossil
poetry and Mr.. Park Benjamin in a re-
cent book on electricity thinks he has
found in one of these fossils the clew to
the discovery of electricity, which he
credits to the women of Syria. Thor
wheels were made of amber, to which
they gave the name of 1.-THE clutcher, -
and Mr.. Benjamin thinks this must
have been because they noticed that it
drew TO itself the dust or bits of leaves
or chaff, or even the light fringe Of their
clothing. This was because the amber
became electrified by rubbing against
their loose garments as the spindle de-
scended. He says:
1.-The spinner easily saw this because
the chaff would leap up TO the excited
resin and, moreover, unless she We're
careful, the dust and other substances SO
attracted would become entangled in
her thread. Therefore she called her am
Der spindle the clutcher, for it seemed to
seize those light bodies as if it had in
visible talons which not only grasped,
but held. This was probably the first in

SEPARATED FROM GOMEZ.
MnceO and He Said to BE 200 Miles
Apart.

MADRID, March g. Official advices from
Havana show that Maceo has made bold
march to the north, with a view TO meet
ing CaliXito Garcia, who was expected to
arrive with arms and ammunition. After
learning that the Garcia expedition was a
failure, Maceo was unable to move east
ward or to reach the southern everglades,
and was compelled to move west into Ha-
vana province. 1t is believed that his pur-
pose was in part feint to prevent the
reinforcements arriving at Havana from
carrying out their projected movements.
No uneasiness is felt at the presence of
Maceo in Havana province. He has failed
to effect juncture with Gomez, and is
two hundred miles from him.
HAVANA, March G.-The resolutions re-
Gently adopted 10y the importers of ciene
fueSos, favoring recognition of the insur-

A number of deputations have called up
on Captain General Weyler recently pro-
testing against the so-called offensive
words to Spain and himself uttered in the

The captain general advised his visitors
to be moderate in their protests against
these utterances.

A QUESTION OF LAW.
Should the President Sign or Veto
Concurrent ResOlutiOns

The subcommittee of the Senate judiciary
committee. investigating the question Of
law as to whether the President is required
to sign or veto concurrent resolution has
not yet reported to the full committee. The
question is one of very grave doubt, though
the Constitution seems to require executive
action.
Senator Vest, in speaking to representa-
tive of The Star today about the concurrent
resolution of the two houses of Congress re-
lating 10 the situation in Cuba, said this
resolution must necessarily be referred to
the President for his official action thereon
as the Constitution expressly sets forth as
follows in paragraph 3, section Z, article 1:
Every order, resolution or vote to which
the concurrence Of the Senate and House of
Representatives may be necessary (excent
On a question of adjournmenO shall be pre
sented to the President of the United States.
and before the same shall nl5e effect shall
be approved by him, or, being 6isapproyed

scribed in the case of bills
