SEEING A NEW LIG HT.

Nikola Tesla has announced to the world
that he has perfected his latest invention,
an electric lamp without any filament OR
film, and a revolution in electric lighting
is at hand. The lamp is a bulb a few
inches long, charged, so far as the eye
can detect, with nothing at ala perfect
vacuum. Into this bulb a current of elec-
tricity is introduced and a light is pro-
duced so bright that fine print can be
read in the farthest corner of large
room. where but a single one of these
lamps is employed Tesla gets ten per
cent of illuminant from his materials,
whereas the ordinary incandescent lamp
yields but three.
1t will readily be understood, even from
this crude statement, what an immens e
saving will be effected in the lighting of
streets, public buildings, stores and private
residences. If the invention can be made
use OF at once, the problem OF municipal
lighting is solved for the smallest city as
well as the largest Edison is. hard at

RAISING BUFFALO TO SELL.
Texas Rancher Says the Bison Is Not

PitsJurg Dispatch.
E.A. PenGest, WHO'S atthe ECtai DucUes, e
is a Texas rancher. He is visiting John
\. Suee. the oil producer. Mr.. Bennett
wears the typical sombrero. His ranch
is 1870 miles north of San Antonio.
II must knock pretty story in the head"
he remarked; "a story of the nature Of 'Lo,
the poor Iadian, ana it is that the buffalo,
or American bison. is becoming extinct.
That's not so. Why, co you know they are
ranching them in Montana and Texas ex-
teusiyely, and on smaller scale in some
other places? \ man in Monta is expert
menting by crossing the buffalo with the
hiack-poied Angus cattle. He is OF the
opinion that finer hide can be obtained
by this union.
Goodnight, the greatest Texas cattle
man, has fully 1000 900 acres OF ground
ranched in and is breeding the bison pure.
he has fenced off big tract of land and i.
well satisfied that he will make a success
OF his new enterprise. He has already sold
many animals of his own raising to show
people aud to ZOOS in several places. Good
night, too, has herd of elk, but they are
not profitable. There is little or 10 sale
for them. For meat purposes the buffalo
is not in 1T. The tongue makes good eating
aud portions of the headquarters, but the
rest of the carcass is worth little for eat
ing. 1t would make mighty good phos-
rhate, though.
81 have sent lot OF cattle ON to New
York. My partner is in charge. We will
get but cents pound or 81 per hundred
while parties in Texas who herd cattle to
Galveston and ship to England get II cents
per pound.''

wEyLER,s nLooDY RECORD.

The revelations regarding Weyler's adj
berto j Diaz. the Expelled Baptist mission
ary, before the subcommittee Of the Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations, are not
calculated to increase the patience of the
American people respecting Spains rule in
the island. On the contrary, if anything
were lacking TO stir up the wrath of Ameri
cans against Spanish misgovernment it
was furnished by DR.. Diaz's account of
the sights ne saw and the occurrences with
which he became familiar. His statements
go to show that great mauy people re-
ported by the Spanish generals as insur-
gents killed in battle were peaceful pri-
vate citizens, murdered wantonly and in
cold blood. Not even women and children
have been spared, and in many instances
were compelled 10 stand by and see their
dear oues slain before their very eyes.
1t might not be a had idea for Rev. DR..
Diaz, if he could obtain a guarantee of
personal safety, to go to Madrid and give
Seuor Canovas del Castillo an inkling of
the kinil of warfare Weyler is conducting
in Cuba and of the impotence OF the Spanish
military forces. That being out of the
question, however, the next best thing
for him 10 do is 10 bring Congress to
realization of the fact that whatever
moved it TO express its opinion in the reso-
lutions now slumbering in some pigeon
hole in the White House was mere
nothing as compared with the actual state
OF affairs in the island. 1t is rot probable
that Senator Morgan will allow Congress
to adjourn without making an effort to
have his latest resolutions passed upon by
the Senate, and, if possible, by the House
OF Representatives also.
In the meantime General FitZhugh Lee
will have arrived in Cuba. 1t will not
take that veteran commander long to
gauge conditions properly and make re-
port 10 the President, IL is said that upon
this report viii depend the action to be
taken by the Executive. In that event
il may be regarded as a foregone Conclu-
sion that such a communication will be
addressed to Spain as cannot fail 10 bring
matters TO a climax. However positive
and energetic his course may then be it
will not go beyond the wishes Of the people
OF the United States. Their sympathy
has been expressed in words and made
manifest in many acts; it needs but the
signal for them to show Spain that the
Americans will not permit the butchery OF
helpless farmers and innocent women and
babes in arms to 90 on indefinitely.

subject might be very distasIeful TO hr.

to divert the drift OF the remarks into some
other channel.
The Speaker, perceiviug their good inten-

all himself took up the same Hue of thought

for the edfication OF the public, the

Itself together whenever it feels like 1t

for the guidance of all save the Senators

tions. One of the late rules made pro-
hlDits smoking in any OF the corridors
or passage ways of the Senate. Here is
where Senator Wilson ran up against
circumstance.
He had been over to the House and came
back putting a fine Havana. Senate rules
did not bother him and when he reached
the dividing line ne kept on smoking all
the same. He was bareheaded and this
OF Itself was sufficient to stamp him as an
habitue of the Capitol But policeman
stopped and told him he could not smoke.

A n attempt of Representative KEN. the
- PopuliSt member from Ne braska, TO
force the Speaker TO recognize him
for the consideration Of a bill by
refusing To permit he further transaction
OF business by uEaE.mous consent, is being
watched with amusement and interest in
the House.
Mr.. Ken has u bill giving to the State of
Nebraska an abandoned military reservst-
ton to he used fcr school purposes Mr.
Reed would not rr, mise TO recognize him
for the reason thai there are thirty or forty
similar bills awaiting action, and he fee IS
that all that class OF legislation should be
treated alike. To get even for what he
Chara cterizes at tie arbitrary, tyranni-
cal and unjust course pursued by the
Speaker, Mr.. KEN remains constantly in
his seat and peTSistently makes objection
TO every request for unanimous consent, no
matter what its nature may be.
Although Mr. KEN insists that he will
continue his present tactics until the Speak
er recognizes him for the purpose of bring
ing UP ms bill, il IS the almost, if not quite.
universal opinion that when il comes to
question of long continued and deliberate
obstinacy Mr.. Reed can give the gentleman
from Nebraska several points in the game
aud still beat him out.
