and Annals; Also, in Inspecting the
Interior of Machinery.
Washington, Feb. 6. The first infor-
nation of an official nature to roach
the United States government touching
the remarkable properties of the etheric
waves of Roentgen is contained in the
following report to the State Depart
ment from United States Consul Gen.
DeKay at Berlin:
81 have the honor to report a dis
covery which may profoundly. affect
surgery and medicine in the way of
diagnosing tumors, protuberances in
bones and foreign growths in them, as
the bodies of men or animals. II is
likely also that the discovery will in
time enable us to examine the interior
of tools, machinery and other objects
OF wood and metal, SO as to guard
against danger through flaws or errors
in casting, &c. 1t is the discovery of
a property Of certain rays omanating
from tho electric light when produced
in receivers from which the air has been
exhausted. The discoverer is profess
sor at the University of Wurzburg, a
Hollander by birth and Swiss by edu-
cation, who has devoted his life to ex-
periments on air, light ana electricity.
His name is Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen.
IL is too early to more than outline the
results and prospects of this discovery.
II might be suggested that the War and
Navy Departments shoulds examine
into the matter. ~

Presided mt n London banquet and Was
EnthusiasticaiIy Applauded.

Enthusiastically Appiauded.
London, Feb. g. AT the a nnual
dinner OF the st. Johns Foundation
School at the Hotel Metropole tonight
the guests included members OF the
clergy, diplomats, members Of Parlia-
ment and other public men. The
United States Ambassador, Mr.. Bayard,
presided.
In proposing toast to the Queen Mr..
Bayard was greeted with tumultuous
applause. Above his seat were draped
the Union Jack aud the stars and
stripes, with their folds interlaced,
Mr.. Bayard made feeling reference to
the death OF Prince Henry of Batten-
berg.
Dean Hole. responding to the toast,
THE Clergy" referred to his visit to
America, and bore testimony to the
sympathy of the American bishops and
clergy for England and the high regard
OF President Cleveland and all classes
for Mr.. Bayaru. This statement was
greeted with cheers.
Mr.. Bayard, when proposing tho
toast to the ST. Johns School, said /:
am not citizen of this country,
but am friend Of it. Cheers. The
heart Of the lovers of England were
lately stirred to consider the sources of
her strength and the common patriotic
idea naturally turned to her great
armies and navies and the stout hearts
and earnest conscience of her people. -
Mr.. Bayard ventured to remind them
Of the noiseless but ever potential
forces which, by making England
strong, should make his own country
strong. He meant those fountains Of
moral force found IN quiet homesteads,
which were the true basis of the world L 3
advancement. He proceeded to aulogize
the work of the clergy as the class which
furnished large share of the distin-
guished men of the country.
Canon Duckworth proposed Mr..
Bayard's health and said: england
reioices in Americas prosperity and
we welcome Mr.. Bayard as the proxy of
the great people whose interests are
indissolubly bound up with our own. :"
This toast was honored standing and
with three cheers, the band playing
meanwhile "Yankee Doodle"
Mr. Bayard, in responding, said: 81
am gratitied that | am admitted to the
personal sympathy of the English
people, ! Loud and prolonged ap.
plause. MR. Bayard continued that when
he recognized the community Of senti-
ment of the two countries he felt that
when he crossed the Atlantic it was
merely change of faces, and not of
hearts. Yet there are those who pre-
tended that there was something differ
ent between the aspirations of honest
mon here and in America. He refused
to believe it. He had spent his life in
America, and he came from people
who had drawn nothing but American
air and doctrine for two centuries and
half. He came here and found and
breathed the same air.
IF any difference exists" said Mr..
Bayard, sit Is an artificial ono. just
let the human heart speak, man to
man, cor ad cor loquitur and you find
all differences can be arranged" Loud
cheers.

CoBURG, April 2O.-The marriage OF
Princess Alexandra, the third daughter
of the Duke of Sake Coburg and Goths,
and grand daughter of Queen Victoria,
to Prince Ernest, hereditary Prince OF
Hohenlohe Langenburg, was celebrated

which was witnessed by the Duke OF
York and the Grand Duke Paul Of
Russia, the bridal possession marched

POLITICAL.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Richmond Dispatch writes "Speak-
or Ryan, of Loudoun, having withdrawn
from the Congressional race, McCabe is
reported to have a solid delegation
from that county, and, as his friends
expect some delegates in Fauquier and
Fairfax, this may concentrate the issue
between Meredith and McCsbe in the
convention. Mr.. Meredith has always
been pretty solid in Fauquier, owing to
his relationship to General Payne, and
the consequent support of what the re-
publicans called, the old Warrenton
influence that entered so largely into
politics in John S. Barbour's day of
power. The Paynes and their strong
est lieutenants, however, are no longer
at Warrenton, and the flag of the Eighth
has no well-regulated color-guerd, so to
speak. This modi6es the conditions,
and the old rHle may fail. As fore.
Swallowed in this correspondence before,
the success or failure of the race track
people will enter largely into the
chances, as the moral people felt what
what they deem the abomination of sin
in politics when the race track people,
as they say. undertook to run the MAJ
chine in Alexandria. The old burgers
are slow to wrath, but red hot when
they do get there.

him to approach. While Mr.. Irish was
endeavoring to calm the crank two

made their exit in terror, while Pro.
lessor Griggs fled by rear door. The
