IN THE HOUSE.
Appropriation Bill Passes Lower Branch oi
Congress After Some Debate.

Washington. April l4-in the House, to-
day, Bingham, Rep, OF FennsylVahla, re-
ported from conferecS on legislative.
executive and judicial appropriation bill
agreement, leaving the two Houses still
apart on something over 100 of the 3li
amendments made by the Senate. Bing
ham explained the grounds OF dlHcrence,
substantially as stated by Senator Cul-
lom to the Senate. yesterday. The total
amount involved IN the differences is
$lS9,59n. lie stated to the House that the
increases made by the Senate, especially
in the matter of employees, were in the
judgment of the House conferees not
warranted either by the condition of
business III the country or condition of
the national treasury. lie had for years
seen the House stand valiantly against
the policy of the Senate. in the matter
of expenses of that body, but had never
seen any other result than the retirement
of the House from the contest, leaving
the Senate in control.
He said the bill as it passed the House,
carried appropriations for the salaries
of employees amounting, on an average,
TO 1883, for every member of the House.
AS il passed the Senate the salaries for
Senate employees averaged $44S3 for every
member of that body. The Senate
amended the bill by making clerks to
Senators not chaHmen of committees

their salaries from 800 a month to $3.50

Richardson, Dem. of Tennessee. ques-
toned Bingham to know whether the
conferees intended to recede from dis
agreement TO that amendment.
Bingham could not say. Hartmann,
Rep. OF Montana. gave notice if he
could do so. he would move to instruct
the House conferees to recede from dis
agreement and agree TO it with amend
ment providing annual clerks TO mem
Ders of the House.
bingham responded that il would
hardly be in orCier, under the rules of the
House.

opinion that If the House wanted 10 pay

opinion that the expenditures of the
House We're too small, as those of the
Senate were TOO large and eXtraNagant.
lie believed the members should have
CLERKS tile entire year. But that service
ought 10 be secured in fair and manly
WAY. The report OF the conferees was
agreed TO- AMI further conference on the
disputed points ordered.

Grape ring, and thus one of the enigmas OF
the heavens has been solved.
No one has yet seen, nor is II the least
objects s~everally whose incalculable myriads
form the rings of Saturn. 1t is. howevSr,
most interesting to note that we have re-
Gently had from the distinguished astrono-
mer, Prof. Keller, a very remarkable optical
confirmation of Clark MaXwell's doctrine.
No observation upon Saturn which has been
made for many years has excited so much
interest as that which has justly been
aroused by Prof. Keeler's investigation. The
spectroscope enables us to discover the speed
with which luminous objects are moving
toward the observer, or moving from him.
Prof. Keeler's observations on Saturn's ling
with the spectroscope have thus given some
notion of the relative velocities of the parts
on the inside. If a ring Of Saturn were COM
posed OF a solid piece, then 1t is quite cer-
tain that all the parts of that ring must re-
volve round the planet In the same time.
If, however, according to Maxwell's theory,
the rings were composed of myriads of small
PARTICLES, then the particles on the inside,
having shorter orbits to describe, and moving
more quickly, will for a double reason oc-
cupy less time in accomplishing a circuit Of
the planet than will the particles on the out
side. Prof. Keller has demonstrated by the
spectroscope that there are In the different
parts OF the rings precisely those varieties
of movement which the theory Of Maxwell
would have led us to expect. We may thus
regard the problem Of the character OF
ring as solved. The anticipations OF
theory has been confirmed by observation.

the brilliant rings and the brilliant globe
Of the planet that it had long escaped at
%tention. With the good telescopes now gem
orally distributed, it is quite easy TO see the
Grape ring, and astronomers have come to
regard it as a familiar object. 1t has been
sometimes supposed that changes are in
actual progress in the structure of the ap-
pendages of Saturn, and that these changes
are of vast magnitude and proceed with
vast rapidity. And 1t has been thought that
in consequence Of these changes the Grape
ring has assumed in these days a more
conspicuous character than II formerly pos
sessed. An attempt has thus been made
TO account for The fact that the Grape ring
eluded the penetration of an observer so
skillful as William Herschel. who devoted
much care with exquisite and powerful in
struments to the observation of Saturn.
But ! do not think that this affords any
ground for the belief that changes Of ap-
preciable magnitude are going forward in
the Saturnian system. 1t is well known
that after an astronomical object has been
discovered II may then frequently be seen
by an instrument OF greatly inferior power
to that employed In making the discovery,
for when an observer knows exactly what
he has TO look for, his chances Of seeing it
become materially increased. This fact,
taken in conjunction with the present
abundance of excellent telescopes, will quite
suffice to explain how 1t comes that the
Grape ring is now SO frequently observed.
Notwithstanding the fact that 1t eluded all
observers up to the year 1850.
THE GLOBE OF SATURN.
As to the features on che globe of Saturn,
which lies poised in the center Of the rings,
there IL not very much to be said. The
astronomical artist who finds such scope for
his pencil in depicting the seas and the
continents, the ice-caps or the canals on
Mars. sees little comparatively that he can
draw on the mighty Saturnian ball. No
doubt certain belts or zones are sometimes
to be discerned with more or less distinetness
upon the globe OF the planet. but they are.
even at the best. only very family
marked. One thing Is perfectly certain, |
namely. that Saturn presents to the observer
no indications whatever Of the presence OF
Omaha daily bee., 1896-05-17

tention Of all preceding astronomers, not
outstanding that they had observed Saturn
so many hundreds of times, is to be found
in the peculiar character Of the new struc-
ture. 1t is certainly true that the outer
rings must not be regarded as solid objects,
they are not even liquids, but yet they seem
quite solid objects in comparison to the ex-
traordinarily delicate feature which was re-
vealed to the penetrating search of Prof.
Bond and Mr.. Dawes. This new ring has
not the brightness of the other rings, in
deed its peculiar appearance is sufficiently
defined in that term Grape ring" by which
1t is generally known. 1t possesses a semi
transparency resembling that Of Grape, and
this makes It SO faint in comparison with
