Judge Bennett at Astoria.

ASTORIA, Or, May 19.-Judge A. S.
Bennett, democratic candidate for
congress in the second district, ad-
dressed large assemblage at the
opera house tonight. Judge Northrup
was severely criticised for his views on
the financial question: ,-and, although
the speaker admitted that Mr.. North
up was an able man and honest in his
convictions, he urged that the fact
that he was an advocate of the gold
standard was sufficient to cause his de-
feat. Judge Bennett also devoted
some of his attention to Congressman
Ellis, whom he accused of carrying
water or both shoulders. Mr.. Ben
net was listened to with close atten-
tion throughout, and was warmly ap-
plauded at frequent intervals.

TEsLA's GREAT INVENTION
Important Discovery in the Art of Elec-
trio Lighting.

trio Lighting.
NEW YORK, May 21.-Nicola Tesla
has solved the problem at which he set
himself many years ago and which
may revolutionize the system OF cleo
trio lighting. 1t is, electrical experts
say, the nearest to the perfect adoption
of the great force to the uses of man.
In Mr.. Tesla's laboratory is a bulb
not more than three inches in length
which. when the current is turned
into it, becomes ball of light, and the
heat is almost imperceptible. With it
large room is so lighted that itis pos
sible to read in any corner. Yet this
is done without films and without the
attachments necessary in existing
lights. The rays are so strong that
the sharpest photographs may be
taken by them. No dynamo is re-
quired to produce the current. The
bulb is attached to a wire connected
with the street current, and there it
no danger of harmful shock in its

the Journal, which is strongly republic
can, and as a matter of course will sup
port Mr.. Ellis, said: with one part
Of his speech we found ourselves in

he referred to the prepetuated fraud
which prevents the opening of the
Cascade Locks. He said If elected he
would shake that matter up as it never
has been shaken up before, and those
who listened believed that he would,
for they know that he has great ability
and irrepressible energy and, better
than all, incorruptible integrity"

Mr.. B. S. Huntington is credited
with having said in his speech at
Wasco that if elected to the legislature
he would vote for no man for United
States senator who is not republican.
Then are we to understand, if there
is not a republican majority in the
legislature, Mr.. Huntington will be
party 20 dead lock for forty days,
thus blocking all legislation, rather
than compromise on some conserva-
tive, patriotric citizen to represent
Oregon in the senate, regardless of
political preference? We have always
looked upon Mr.. Huntington as being
a broadminded gentleman, too patrio-
tic to allow party prejudice to over
come patriotism, and until now would
not have believed he would submit to
party lash to the extent that he would
allow the farce of 1895 re-enacted.

WASHINGTON, May 19.-An effort is
being made to get an order from the
rules committee to make the repeal of
the free alcohol law a special order in

is likely to lead to an interesting siLua-
tion. 1t is understood that Mr.. Rus

bill is taken up, to move the entire Nc

tion to this end would clearly be in Or
der, and if made would probably lead

CAVERN.

CAVERN.
IRoNwooD, Mich, May 21.-Eight
men were buried in a cavern at the
Ashland mine this morning. Large

Beckman, John Fl. Helman, John Col
Inns, Peter Gura, and an unknown.
The men were working at drifting
on the third level 300 feet from the
surface, when the cave-in occurred.
Captain Thomas Williams rushed to
the scene. At that time no great
amount of ground had fallen and Will
Jams was able to communicate with the
imprisoned men. They were all un-
harmed and said that with rope they
couId.be rescued. Captain Williams
went for help, but before he returned
another huge piece of ground fell and

them, however by signals, and it is
known that at least some of them are
alive.
