the place IN hurry The valuable drills and bits
with which the safes must have been opened
were not left behind, they could be easily
carried in q mans pocket. 1t Is thought that
the burglars left behind the heavier tools, which
are Of slight value, because they might have ex-
cited suspicion as they were leaving tne puho-
ing.
The cash register which stood on the counter
near the door was not disturbed, because it Is
customary to remove the contents each night
and leave the drawer open. Several Doxes or
cough drops and chewing gum which lay tn
this counter during the business hours were
placed in the safe. and the explosion blew them
all around the room.
THE POLICEMAN SAW NOTHING SUSPICIOUS.
Patrolman Maxwell, OF the Oak-st. station,
the officer the beat In Park Row, went on at
midnight Saturday, and remained Oh post until
o'clock yesterday morning. He passed the
place at frequent intervals during the morning
and says he tried the door and peered IN
through the window each time he made the
rounds. He declares that he saw nothing un-
usual. heard any extraordinary noise. ne
says that there were people passing 10 ana
fro through the street during those hours ana
that the crowd was largely Increased at
o'clock by newsbOys and newsdealerS. he says
he was able throughout his patrol tour to nave
a clear view Of the interior. He is certain that
the safe had not been moved from Its place up
to the time he was relieved.

they raised It woman's voice shrieked: "Po-

a woman appeared at the foot Of the rickety

her family had been in the building since be-

that the scuttle was fastened with a hook; but
the detectives say that violence whatever

The woman said that no stranger had been In
the building since Saturday night.
Captain Thompson. Of the Oak-st. station said

leys idea might meet opposition at first from some
labor men, he thought that II would prevail In the

DIR. PUPIN SUCCESSFUL.
HE PROVES THAT X RAYS CAN BE USED
IN SURGERY.
ELATED OVER THE REsULT-PRoBABILTTY THAT
THE PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL AND THE
COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SUR
GEoNs WILL ERECT THE NECEs-
sARY APPARATUS TO EN-
ENERGY.

ENERGY
The anxiety OF Professor Pupin 10 develop the
commercial properties OF the new radiant energy,
and to demonstrate the advantages OF Its APP
plication to the practice Of surgery and medi-
cine, kept him confined to his laboratory at
Columbia College throughout the whole OF yes
terday. He used in his experiments the static
machine which has produced in the last week
such satisfactory results. and with the aid OF a
good high vacuum tube Dr. Pupin yesterday sue
ceeded in obtaining impressions OF the bones or
the human hand even Of greater density than
that shown in the illustration in The Tribune
OF Yesterday BY increasing the distance Of the
plate from the tube Dr. Pupin covered with the
rays the whole hand, and thus the requisite
derse picture OF all the bones contained therein
was obtained He also subjected the wrist to
the rays with equally fine results
At last 1t can be said with exact truth that
the experiments in this country have been at
tended with the same degree OF perfection as
that obtained by R6ntgen himself In burst
of pardonable qualification Dr. Pupin said yes
terday: Il have now reached the successful point
and have proved conclusvely that the rays can
he advantageously used in the surgical field
have solved the problem Of how to concentrate
the rays and thereby obtain practical results IN
the use Of the new radiance"
Although the impressions he obtained yesterday
were exposed for two hours DR.. Pupin said that
for the purpose OF 4 diagnosis all exposure OF
member Of the body would be necessary for only
a few moments. AS DR.. Pupn has now turned TO
practical truth the theoriZing that has been
INDUCED In regarding the worth of the discovery
from a surgical point of view, II may be ac-
oepted as a definite fact that the Presbyterian
Hospital and the College OF Physicians anu
Surgeons will proceed to erect the necessary
apparatus In their institutions for the employ
nient of the new energy in their operations. The
question OF so doing, IL mag be remembered,
rested upon the degree of success which attended
DR. Pupin's experiments. and as these have now
proved the utility Of the rays In certain cases.
the two institutions referred to- 1t Is understood,
will acquire the equipments without delay.

Mr.. Morse. Republican, Of Massachu-
setts, then called up from the committee
on public buildings and grounds bill to
prohibit the sale of intoxicating drinks
in the capitol grounds. Mr.. Morse said
that he did not care to make any elabor-
ate remarks on the bill, but he declared
that the sale of intoxicants in the ma
tional capitol was a scandal and a dis
grace. No one took the floor in oppo-
sition to the measure and it was passed
-104 to 5.
Messrs Adams, Republican, of
Pennsylvania. Mcclellan, Democrat, of
New York, Erdman Democrat, of Penn
sylvania, Richardson, Democrat, Of
Tennessee. and Foote, Democrat, of New
York voted against the bill.
Mr.. Powers, Republican, of Vermont,
from the committee on Pacific railroads,
called up the bill to define the rights of
purchasers under mortgages on the At
lantic and Pacific railroad. Mr.. Powers
said the purpose of the bill was to permit
the mortgages to exercise under the re-
organization their right as a corpora
ton.
Mr. McRae, Democrat, of Arkansas at
tackled the bill. He denounced the land
grs.lts to the Atlantic and Pacific rail-
road as the most corrupt of any in the
long list of land grants. The road had
nor earned the land, he asserted. and
the rights under the grants deserved to
sion it was decided to postpone the
further consideration of the bill until

From the committee on patents. Mr..
Draper. Republican. of Massachusetts.
called up the senate bill to prevent the
prating of copyrighted dramas or musi-
cal compositions. 1t imposes a fine of

quent performance.

wEYLERs PROBABLE SUCCESSOR.

Lieutenant-General Pando, who is
spoken of as Captain General Weyler's
successor at the heda of the Spanish
forces in Cuba, is reported to be man
of blood and war-moTl brutal, perhaps,
in his methods than the butcher" who
has made for himself name in history
as a murderer rather than a soldier or
a conqueror. Pando has always believ-
ed that the suppression of the Cuban re-
bellion was an easy task He predicted
that Campos would suppress it, and
when Campos failed he ascribed the
failure, not to his own bad Judgment,
but to lack of soldierly qualities in the
bafiied captain-general. General Pando
is apparently quite friendly to the Unit
ed States. He says there is not now and
never has been any danger of the Amer
ican annexation of Cuba. He favOrs
Cuba's paying tribute, commercially to
this country Cuba's natural market, he
says, is the United States, and he be-
lieves in making treaties of reciprocity
to encourage increased commerce. He
favors giving additional inducements
to American capital. His opinion is that
a removal of the duties on coal would
place Cuba in the line of American and
English ships as a great fueling station.
With the completion Of the Panama ca
nal Cuba would be made the mistress of
the Caribbean sea republics. General
Pando Is reported to be possessed of real
military genius. His career, II he be-
comes master of the army in the island,
will doubtless be sanguinary, If not sue
cessful.--Chicago Times Herald.

Tonight's conference was of two hours
duration and the participants said they
had agreed unanimously upon the pol
icy to be pursued.
"A moderate tariff BILL" they explain
ed, was their object. A moderate Dill
is understood to be one whose average
rates would be somewhat lower than the
rates of the Mckinley bill of 1890, though
a considerable average advance over the
Wilson-Gorman duties, and the commit
teemen say they would not hesitate TO
advance rates beyond the the Mckinley
bill in cases where experience had SHOWN
the advance to be advisable.
Gen. Grosvenor and Mr. Dingley, 1t Is
understood, conveyed the views of Pres
ldent-elect Mckinley upon the program
to their colleagues. More than half or
the two hours, it was said, was given to
discussion of the difficulties in the path
of the Republican program, the over
shadowing one being the possibility OF an
unfriendly senate in the next congress.
One of the members said they recognized
distinct possibility that the next SEN
ate might block tariff legislation, but
hoped that the free silver senators, who
walked out of the St. Louis convention,
would be ready to cooperate in estab-
fishing a protective tariff. Saturdays
meeting of the committee may be post
poned until next week in the event that
Representative Turner of Georgia is un-
been made to fill the committee vacancy
created by the death of exSpeaker
Crisp, and with Mr.. Turner, who is one
of the Democratic leaders, absent, the
minority might complain that it was not
properly represented.
Speaker Reed. it is expected, will des-
ignate Mr.. Crisp's successor this week.
Mr.. Newlands of Nevada has been dis
cussed by Republican ways and means
members as one qualified to fill the va
cancy, whose selection might do some
thing to help the passage of tariff bill.
Mr.. Newlands is a representative of
the independent silver party, so desig-
mating himself in the congressional di-
rectory, having formerly been a Re-
publican. is thought by some if rec
ognition were given the Independent sill.
Yer men by such an appointment it would
tend to draw the support of several sem
ators belonging to that faction.
Rumor in political circles tonight had
it that Mr.. Hanna took jart in the tariff
conference, but this was without basis.
Mr.. Hanna went to the house this after
noon to talk with Speaker Reed, but
found the speaker in the chair, and after
talking with Gen. Grosvenor, departed.
Gen. Grosvenor informed the speaker
of the call.
