After long debate the House decided on
Thursday in favor of the Republican contest
ant in the Van Horn-Tarsney election case
from Missouri. The vote by which the Dem
ocrat lost his seat was IL to 1874. Eighteen
Republicans joined with the Democrats in
opposition to the majority.
The strong resolutions prepared by the for
eign affairs committee for the recognition of
the Cuban beligerents had been presented
earlier in the day amid scene of great en-
thusiasm, and just before the House adjourned
Mr.. Hit asked unanimous consent for their
immediate consideration, but Mr. Boutelle
called an emphatic halt by an objection. He
declared that the passage of the resolutions
might precipitate war with Spain.
A stirring speech by Mr.. Vest in behalf of
Cuba was the event in the Senate. The Sen
ate had agreed that the final vote ON the
Cuban resolution would be taken at p. m.
yesterday and the debate was proceeding
when Mr.. Vest was aroused to one of the
bursts of eloquence with which he at times
elecirfes the Senate The debate was closed
by Mr.. Sherman yesterday.

ton will be taken on one of the several reso-
lutions.

MULTIPLEx TELEGRAPH.
A Remarkable Invention by Pro
fessor Rowland for Transmitting
Typewriter Messages.


Prof Henry A. Rowland, of the Johns
Hopkins University, succeeded in obtaining
completely successful results from an inven-
ton on which he has been working since last
summer.
For some time Professor Rowland has had
planned in his mind an invention for trans
hitting kilograms written upon u typewriter
at the place of sending that would be repro
duced in typewriter form at the receiving
point. In the physical laboratory of the uni
versity he put his plan into practical opera
ton. In addition to the typewriting part Of
the invention. Professor Rowland, with his
new machine, can send over the same wire
FIVE or six different messages at the same time
in one direction, which, in duplex, makes
ten or twelve messages that can be trans
mitted on the same wire at the same time.
Thus, with FIVE operators at each end of a line
sending each an average of thirty words a
minute, 800 words can be transmitted each
minute.
DIR. Rowland has inquired at the patent
office in Washington and has been Informed
that no such invention has ever been received
there-typewriting telegraphy having been
attempted before, but upon entirely different
principles. He has used a synchronous de-
vice in his invention and in the mechanical
arrangement of the typewriter has used but
eight signals, the letters being produced by
combinations.
The current of electricity transmitting the
message can be relayed and in this manner
the invention can be operated for great dis
tances.
The model ON which the professor has been
experimenting is much larger than the inven-
ton will be when completed. In finished
form the instrument, he says, will be as con-
venient and as easily operated at the ordinary
telegraphic dispatching and receiving APP
paratus. The invention is described in Prof.
Rowland's own words as ''multiplex print
ing telegraph y
