There is an electric ballet in the pro-

which is described ss sonnet ming startling
seven graceful young women. The cleo
fricsl oevice is the patent of II. HarndIn,
young electrician of New YORK, and its
fundamental novelty lies in the fact that
the lights, 1000 In ber, are operated
by storage battery from behind the
scenes which sends current of 100. 600
volts through Induction coils a distance
OF 40 feet. The cables, one of which is
attached to each of the dancers, coptsin
numberless wires; but they are not
seen, as the stage is darkened for this
dsnce. seven men are employed, one
for each dancer, to play the cable in aud
out during the progress of this scene so
there may be no danger of the dancers
tripping up. On the head of each dancer
is bewildeiiagly beautiful Kaleidoscope
electrical wheel sn ing out dazzling
huor scent colors which are produced by
csrbons running through tubes filled
with various chemicals. On the bodices
OF the girls are shields made up of these
same tobss shedding a rapidly vibratory

The device is called the "Birth OF the

with the result stated.
There has been some fighting on the
Epirus frontier since the armistice, but
accounts vary. 1t seems the Turks re-
occupied Fort Skafidaki and began to re-
pair the works. The Gre eks fired a shot
at the Turks in protest. The Ottoman
commander treated this as breach of the
arm istice and firing from both sides fol-
lowed. The Greeks desisted on receiving
instructions from Athens.
Further advices concering the retreat of
the Greek army from Dhomoko say that
skirmishing between the rear Greek guard
and advancing Turks continued until 3

killed on both sides.

proposition that the power to recognize
belligerency lies entirely with the execu-
| tive, and argued at length to show that
the passage of the belligerency resolution
would be entirely without legal force or
effect, although it might possibly give
moral support to the insurgent cause.
German, in the course of his speech,
said that if it were true that the State
Department contained information which
convinced the Secretary of State and the
President that they could not with safety
give the names of American Consuls in
Cuba who had given such information,
the President was delinquent when he
fails to send a vessel of war to protect
them. He would vote for the resolution
in view of their failure to do their duty.
Chandler, who was in the chair, prompt

resolution pass?" and then when the re-
salt was announced general and prolonged
applause in the galleries followed, provok-
ing Hawley into his indignant protest

WASHINGTON, D. c.. May 20.-"Mr.
President, l protest against being
mobbed. " shouted Senator HawIey in the
Senate at $50 o'clock to-day when the
galleries broke out in acciamations over
the announcement that the Morgan Gu
ban belligerency resolution had passed by
a vote OF Il 10 IA. This action was taken
after five hours debate, marked by pictur-
esque and sensational features and sudden
and dramatic weakening and submission of
the forces opposed to the resolution. 1t was
the third vote that was taken, the others
being a motion to refer to the Committee
on Foreign Relations which was defeated,
10 to "a, and on the motion to lay the
Fairbanks substitute on the table, which
was carried, 35 to Is.
The debate began more than an Four in
advance of the usual time, and was
opened by Thurston with sympathetic
speech in support of the resolution. He
read from papers a report of Sagasta's
speech in Madrid yesterday, declaring
that the Spaniards were not even masters
of the territory trodden by their soldiers
in Cuba and that the picture could not be
gloomier. This was not, Thurston said.

''If, ;" he exclaimed dramatically, "there
IS peace in Cuba, it is peace of devastated
fields, peace of RACED homes, peace of as
saulted women and peace of starving chill
dren. No, Mr.. President, there is war in
Cuba-bloody, sanguinary, awful war"
"Let US now," Thurston said in conclu-
sion, dispatch the mightiest battle-ships
in the United States to the harbor OF
Havana where their frowning guns will
cheer the hope of those who struggle to be
free"
Thurston spoke an hour and quarter
but although his speech was howery and
orator1cal 1t did not seem to kindle any
enthusiasm. He was followed by EIkins,
who was occasionally goaded by wicked
reminders on the part of Chandler that
the Senator had voted two or three times
in the last Congress for a similar resolu-
ton, but declared himself opposed to this
one because it meant the coercion of the
