The trip was one round of gayety. The

for couple OF hours. They were met at
the stations by brass bands and offered the
freedom of the city. At Portsmouth the

Charles last night each man engaged in a
personal struggle to get away. All the

ceived to-day the following cablegram
from Miss Clara Barton, president of the
National Red Cross:
CoNsrANTINoPLE, Turkey, Feb. 19.

ton given; no distractions.
CLARA BARTON.
This cable, taken in connection with a
dispatch received from Mr.. Terrell, United
States Minister to Turkey, which ended
with these words, ''The door is thus opened
wide for charity" removes all questions as
to the possibility of funds contributed in
America being promptly and wisely dis
tributed among the Armenian sufferers.
The National Armenian Relief Com mittee
having, by the agreement with the Red
Cross, the general charge Of raising funds
and supplies throughout the United States
for Armenian relief work, now appeals for

HARDING,S SCOTOSCoPE.
Claims That With 1T He Can Picture
Hidden Objects Direct.

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb. 19.-Pro-
fessor G. Knox Harding, after experiment.
ing with cathode rays, will apply for a
patent on 'scotoscope." He says:
ut will be of interest to experimenters
with x rays to know that it is not neces-
sary to have any electric discharge in the
vacuum tube for the same rays are found
IN spectrum of magnesium, and, to great
extent, at calsium. 1t is evident that if
the new light can photograph hidden
object, the Horoscope will enable US to
see them direct, and even if we can only
photograph shadows, as at present, it is of
more Importance to see them direct.
Il hold that light in scotoscope can be
reflected and refracted and focused by a
lens; that this light so produced is strong
~ actinic and is the only means by which
to reduce picture to small size, and
having them fixed by direct vision they
can be studied under the microscope. The
vital difference and value of the discovery
is that we obtain by this means not pic
lures OF shadows, but pictures direct rom
the Objects

Settlers on Land Grants Girera q Te
Years. Extension.

Settlers Land Grants Giren Ten
Years. Extension.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 19.-The
house was strictly son business" to-day,
and in the five hours session disposed of
two important measures. The first was
the bill under consideration yesterday to
extend for ten years the time in which the
Government may institute suits to annul
land grants illegally or enormously issued.
Hepburn's amendment to restrict the law
officers to cases of fraud was rejected, as
was also the amendment proposed by the
Committee on Public Lands TO reopen
Mexican and Spanish grants. An amend
ment proposed by Loud (R.) of California
was agreed to, restricting the operations
of the law to patents issued under railroad
and wagon-road grants. A substitute was
offered by McRae CD OF Arkansas to re-
peal all legislation on the subject, and was
voted down-149 to 72-which was test
vote on the bill.
The army appropriation b i'll was passed
without much discussion, but most of the
new legisl alton proposed by the Committee
on Military Affairs went out on points of
order. Among the propositions thus re-
jected was the one to compel the President
to appoint aymasters from the line officers
of the army alone, shutting out civilians.
The unanimous report of the Committee
on Ways and Means against the passage
of the bill to regulate the issue of liquor
licenses was submitted by Evans (R.) of
Kentucky and ordered printed.
The agreement of the conferees on the
urgent deficiency bill was reported and
concurred in.
When the House took up the bill to
extend for ten years from March 3 next
the time within which suits may be
brought to vacate and annul patents il
legally or enormously issued upon public
lands, the Committee on Public Lands
having recommended that the distinctive
words railroad, Mexican, Spanish or
other" special grant be inserted, the Cali

NEW YORK, \. Y, Feb. 19.-Captain
Samuel G. Fairchild and Thomas II. Par
rot of the local board of United States In
spectors of Steam Vessels have finished
their report upon the stranding OF the
American line steamer st. Paul. In con-
clusion it says:

skillful in the navigation of his ship or
negligent of his duty, and we are satisfied
that he was taking every precaution that
his long experience and successful career
as a shipmaster suggested to be necessary
to guard against accidents or casualties
that would sndanger the lives intrusted to
his care that would result in injury to the
ship or her cargo, and he is exonerated
from all blame in connection with the
stranding of the steamship st. Paul"
