torial ticket. Last year Bennett had about
49, 900 plurality. but he did not get that thi,
time, and there was disappointment in tn"
republican ranks.
The democrats failed to elect a single
member OF the assemblyticket in Providence
which they had expected ever since the
campaign started in. In the country towns
1t was equally rs bad luck. In Cum
law champion, and all his democratic
associates were defeated by large
majorities. In North Smithtield where
the democrats last year elected Byron a.
Andrews senator. the republicans won the
day. Only in Scituate and Block Island did
the democrats send their delegates back to
the general assembly and in these towns
the r, suit was received as n foregone CON
cllsion. though the republicans made hard
fight against the recollection of senator Page
from Srituate.
In North Providence. Wilcox was elected
senator and Grimlry representative by an
overwhelming vote over the independent
ticket. In Westerly there was u big fight
over the water works issue The republican
candidate for the House was Mr.. Price. who
defeated eX-tnited States senator Dixon foi

party lines. without special colorinS by local

MOVEMENT FOR RECIPROCITY
Commission on the Matter is Likely
to BE Created.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April B. The
House republicans are working up recl-
procity movement. for campaign purposes, If
for nothing else, and are not unlikely to
pass u measure creating commission for
the purpose of arranging trade treaties
ON the reciprocity basis. Representative
Hopkins of Illinois, as chairman OF the sub
committee on reciprocity of the committee
of WAYS and means. has been laying the
foundation for this by collecting the opin-
ions of manufacturers and others Interested,
and believes that he has sufficient favorable
information of this character to warrant the
report of a bill providing for commission
such as is outlined, and he believes that it
will be favorably reported by the full com
mittee and passed by the House. Mr.. Hop
kins has not yet drafted his measure, but
Young representative William Alden Smith
of Michigan. taking time by the forelock,
introduced the following joint resolution:
Resolved, by the Senate and House OF
Representatives of the United States Of
America. in Congress assembled, that there
shall be, and is hereby created and estab-
lished. u commission to be known and des-
ignated as a reciprocity commission, con-
sisting Of five members, not more than three
of whom shall he of the same political party,

ilrmcd by the Senate. who shall hold their
Offices during good behavior, unless sooner

stituted as follows: One member shall be

lOmatic or consular service, one member

perienced In the administration OF customs

bers shall be appointed distinguished for

ing experience.
See. 3. Said commission shall promptly
organize after appointment and confirmation
in the city of Washington, and shall devote its
entire and undivided attention to the work

the United States for proper action.
Sec t. Said commission is hereby author
lied and empowered to hold its sessions at
such times and places as may, in It's judg-
ment, he necessary to accomplish the pur-
poses of this act, and they shall be paid an
annual salary to be fixed by law, and reim-
bursed their actual and necessary expenses

RICHES FOR ALL.
Secret Organization New to POlitf,
caI Field inst Started

WASHINGTON. D. c.. April "A new se-
cret politi,a organization has been started
in this city, WHICH is the most unique
thing Of its kind. Besides the president the
order has 1900 vice-presidents These off,
GERS are the organizers, and they have been
appointed in every state. 1t is the duty of
the vice-presidents to organize lodges and
secure signatures to Il petition and pro-
test
The petition wills set forth to Congress that
there Is no money in this country and
that the working men are every day getting
poorer. 1t will recite that the per capita
circulation is less than 800 when it ought to
be $50. 1t will go on to ask Congress to
pass bill authorizing the secretary Of the
treasury to issue $4,000, ,O00, 900 Of green
backs and to coin all the silverand gold bull
lion in the treasury and to grant free coinage
to everything and everybody.
The protest will allege that the secretary
OF the treasury aided and ahetted by the
presidents, have for years deliberately taken
piles of greenbacks and burned them to
keep them from circulation and to make the
people poorer. 1t is proposed to get 5,OOO,-
900 signatures to the petition to Congress.
The members of the order say that Congress
could not resist such large number of the
people of the country. If it did so, the
members say there would be another inva-
sion of Washington by gigantic army q
thousand times larger than that of COxey.
The plan for distributing themoney which
Congress will be asked to authorize is the
most novel ever proposed by any financial
Napoleon. The money Is to be divided
among the members of the order, and those
who were not patriotic enough to become
members will be barred out.

WILL SURPRISE EDISON.
New York Man Has a Telephone
That is Simply Wonder.

NEW YORK. April 3-Clark d. Vaughn,
who says he has invented a telephone by the
use of which it will be possible to speak from
New York to London. Is unwilling to dis
close any more of the secrets of his inven-
ton until he has secured the patents he has
applied for Mr.. Vaughn is about thirty-nvc
wears old and has been in the employ of the
Western union telegraph company for fifteen
years.
Mr.. Vaughn was informed that Thomas A.
Edison was reported as saying that 1t is i'm
practicable to telephone from New York to
Coney Island over submerged wire, and
that It is impossible to get more than six
waves of sound second through the water
at such distance as that between New York
and London. To this Mr.. Vaughn replied
II am glad that Mr.. Edison has made that
statement. hope other prominent electri-
clans will do so,also, ,as it will give me all the
more pleasure to surprise them in the near
future. / am perfectly satisfied that. with
the use of the transmitter and induction
coil which have devised, it will be possible
ts use much more force than is now used,
and, at the same time, to nullify the foreign
interference with the wires. which now
makes it impossible to telephone more than
1000 miles,"
The great difficulty encountered hitherto
in attempts to telephone over wires laid in
the water Is the amount of induction Occa-
stoned by the earth current and by sub
stances which cling to the wire or cable.
This difficulty Mr.. Vaughn says he has over
come.

GLORIOUS PLAN.
Perpetual Peace Between Ma
tions in Sight.
Permanent Arbitration the Object
Being Sought.

WASHINGTON, D. G., April 3-A per-
manent plan of arbitration to settle al diff
ferences which may hereafter arise between
the United States and Great Britain is re-
garded as not unlikely to be the outcome OF
the effort OF the administration to secure the
arbitration of the Venezuelan boundary
question, which has already proved so ef-
fective. There is now no question that the
Venezuelan dispute will be submitted 10
arbitration by Great Britain. Lord Sails
bury has practically promised this. Indeed,
Sir Julian Pauncefote, as his representative,
is now empowered to complete the prelimi-
nary negotiations with secretary Olney for
the purpose of arranging for such an arbt-
tration. Matters of detail are now being
discussed, the principle having been con-
ceded.
The main question still at issue is as to
what the scope of the arbt at IN shall be
with respect to the British slbjects now
resident In the disputed territory, and. to
throw light upon this, an inquiry is being
made to ascertain definitely, just how many
are in this class, and just how permanent
are the settlements which they have made

HAVANA, Cuba, April 3-Intelligcnce has
reached here of n bad defeat of the govern.
ment troops. An insurgent force of nearly
1900 men, led by Varona, Sosa and others

Heir To Many Millions.

NEW YORK, pril3-Another heir to many
millions. The little one came few days
ago in the beautiful Fifth avenue home of
George J. G Id. He is the fifth of his
fathers children. His fathers fortune is
estimated today at S75,OO0,OOO. If he gets
only one-fifth of this he will be worth at
least 415. .0OO. 900 when he attains his major
ity, but. as two of the children that were
born before him are girls, and as they are
not supposed, according to the Gould ideas,
to receive as much as the boys. it is likely
this tiny youngsters fortune will certainly
be more than $40, 900 900.
