Ex-ooMMANDER oUAcKENBUsA
Another Effort to Place Him on the
Retired List.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-A bill
which has been before several Con-
crosses. and which, by reason of that
circumstance, has become naval cause
celebre, was considered and ordered to-
Gay to be favorably reported by the
House Judiciary Committee. The pur-
pose of the bill is to place John w.
Ouackenbush on the retired list of the
navy with the rank and pay Of COM
mander.
In 1874 Commander Quackenbush
was court -martialed and dismissed
from the service. President Grant
con1muted the sentence to a suspension
for six years on furlough pay. Upon the
expiration of his sentence in 1880,
Quackenbush was put upon waiting or
ders and drew pay for nearly a year,
when the salary ceased, and in 1883 he
was dropped from the rolls.
1t is claimed that his dismissal was
cue to a misunderstanding; that when
the nomination of Lieutenant Com
mander Schley to be a commander in
the navy was sent to the Senate it con-
tanned the words vice Quackenbush,

SAN FRANCISCO, March 13.-Rev.
DR.. C. o. Brown, pastor of the First
Conversational C. Irch, made his con-
cluding argument to-day before the &c
clesiastical council called to investi-
gate the charges of immoral conduct
preferred against him. The doctor was
in an eloquent mood, and the manner
in which he fiayed his accusers and ar
raigned the press Of San Francisco for
what he termed persecution called
forth cheers from his partisans.
Mrs. Mary A. Davidson, whom the
pastor accuses of blackmai1, received
due attention, and Mrs. Sarah B.
Cooper, a prominent member of the
congregation, did not escape her share
of censure.
The pastor placed beautiful orally
painted halo above the head of Miss
Matte Overman, the young lady who
attempted to blackmail him and after
ward repented, and concluded his ad-
dress with a peroration with tears,
wherein he begged the council in the
name Of purity to clear his name.
The council adjourned at a late hour
without having decided upon a verdict.
Further consideration will be resumed
tomorrow at 1 o'clock a. m.

MARvBLs OF THE CATHODE RAY.
A Photographers Success in Passing
Light Through Opaque Bodies.

1lS0O through OpdQu0 DOuASS'
SANTA CRUZ, March 13.-Otto ".
Ort, a photographer here, succeeded to-
day in taking a clear cathodograph
with a common horseshoe magnet and
no other instruments Of any kind. The
pictures were taken through a quarter
of an inch of hard wood and were as
good as the work done with the Crooke
tube.
By an accident Ort learned that dry
plates left near a magnet became
fogged. This led him to experiment.
Placing upon the hardwood cover of a
plate-holder some keys, metal clippings
and coin, he placed on the articles an
ordinary eight-inch magnet.
After twelve hours's exposure the sem
sitive plate underneath the wooden
cover showed on development a distinct
photograph of the articles.
The most interesting part of the dis
covery is that the key was found pho
tographed in duplicate. In laying the
magnet on the articles the key was
slightly shifted. Ort moved the key
slightly a moment after, and again
short time later. This photograph in
duplicate seems to show that the work
is done practically instantaneously.
Ort is a photographer and electrician
OF skill and will go on with his expert
ments enthusiastically. His discovery
may prove the most important of all
that is SO far known of the properties
OF the cathode ray.

not a difficult one, as steam readily
condenses to water, and a reduction OF
the temperature causes it to freeze and
become solid.
Oxygen, which is the most abundant
and widely distributed Of all gases. may
also be reduced to a liquid form by
great pressure and rapid evaporation,
or cooling. The experiment was sue
cessfully tried with number of other
gases, and it was at length boldly de-
clared that any gas could be turned
into a liquid, provided a sufficient pres
sure could be applied and that the tenn
perature could be brought low enough
Encouraged by these results, Pro-
fessor Dewar few years ago bent his
energies to the task of producing liquid
air. He employed for this purpose an
ingenious device consisting of a vacu-
UNI jacketed vessel. The intense cold
was effected by a series of operations,
in which liquids of increasingly lower
freezing points were brought into use.
The LIQUID air thus formed was a pure
white substance like filtered water.
1t is now announced that liquid air
can be obtained in commercial quanti-
ties. The manufacture of liquid air on
q large scale has recently commenced
in Germany. In the process the inter-
mediate cooling agents employed by
Professor Dewar are dispensed with,
and the cooling effect is obtained by the
rapid evaporation of the product itself.
In this novel form the air is found to be
much purer than that of the ordinary
atmospheric air. since. as the stages of
liquefaction advance, it becomes richer
in oxygen. The oxygen may be fur
tier purified if required, by eliminating
a large proportion Of the remaining nj
trogen and other gases. 1t was at one
time supposed that air was mixture of
oxygen and nitrogen, but the recent re-
searches of Professor Ramsay have DEM
onstrated the presence of an additional
gas heretofore unknown among terres-
trial elements. This gas has been called
argon
The possibilities of being able to OBJ
tain abundant supplies of liquid air are
interesting. In the liquid form air oc-
cupies a much less volume than in it's
gaseous condition. one might carry
around in his pocket enough liquid gas
to support life for days. To adventur-
ers who would explore the regions above
the earth, where the air is so rare that
it cannot supply the lungs with a proper
amount of oxygen, the discovery will be
of the greatest importance. In many
other ways also its benefits must be
felt. It will simplify the grave prob
lens Of ventilating crowded rooms
without producing draught. Ii would
also be of great use in mines and other
places where the air is usually foul It
will possibly not be long before liquid
air will be put in cylinders and sold
like the steel tubes used for aerating
soda and mineral waters. If the inven-
tive mind of Edgar Allan Poe had hit
upon this method of supplying good
breathing air conveniently and in large
quantity he would have added much to
the interest of the strange adventure of

NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Plan Under Which the Road is to be
ReOrganiZed.

NEW YORK, March 13.-It is under
stood that the Northern Pacific plan of
reorganization will shortly be issued.
IT provides for an assessment of SO
per share on the preferred and So per
share on the common stock, for which
no security will be given. The pre-
ferred stock, however, will receive a
portion of its face value in new first
preferred stock. The common stock
will receive less than its present face
value in common stock. The consol
bonds will receive first preferred stock
to the extent of at least the face value
of their bonds. They will probably re-
ceive some security in adjustment or
overdue interest.
The bond charges of the new capital
will not be far from $6,000000, about
the figure named by Mr.. Hill in the
London agreement.
There will be a voting trust of at
least three members and possibly five
J. P. Morgan and August Belmont will
be among the trustees, and it is prob
able that the Deutsche Bank will be
directly represented. 1t is not likely
that James J. Hill will be directly rep
resented. The plan will be financed by

LINCOLN (Neb), March 14.-Fire
broke out in the wholesale and retail

The Ackerman building is in the heart

buildings are threatened. Four men
rooming in the third story were car
ried down by policemen nearly suffo-
Gated. One man is still missing. The
Ackerman stock will probably be
total loss.
Later-The fire was practically under
control shortly before 2 o'clock. 1t orig
mated in the basement and totally
ruined the stock on the first floor. 1t
was confined to the Alderman block,
and the loss is probably not over $60,
W O.; insured for two-thirds.
Dennis, the missing roomer, it is
claimed, was not in the building. Dis
trict Judge Cornish and State Repre-

rescued by the police. One fireman was

LONDON, March 13.-The Times"

from Cairo saying that the ultimate
object of the Anglo Egyptian expe-
dition to the Soudan is undoubtedly for
the relief of Kassala, which if it should
be captured by the Dervishes would
become a serious menace to Suakim

province of Dongola is essential to the
protection of Egypt from Dervish raids,
inasmuch as besides being a convent
ent base for hostile operations, it fur
nishes large food supplies to the Soudan
country ruled by the Khalifa- The

advance to Omdurman and a recon-
quest of the Soudan.
