EUROPE's ELECTRIC CAEs.
Seaport of 100000 People Which Has

From the New York Press.
Money and material for q street railway

people at the foot of Mount Etna Cata-
MIA has no street railways, using hacks
instead. The suburban town of Ognina.
where in spring, summer and fall many of
Catania's inhaDitants spend a few months
in cottages, going to the city daily tc at
tend to business, would be source of rev.
enue to a street railway. Two projects are
forming. One is to interest Belgian capi-
talistS-whiCh would mean Belgian ma te-
rial The other is proposed by a milling
firm which would use the $50 waste horSe-
power OF their mill to generate electricity.
This firm would buy dynamos, wires. poles,
rails and ten cars to start with. American
bids would be received upon equal footing
with the rest.
Electric railways are gaining ground in
Europe, though not as fast as In the Unit
ed States. Yet these figures appear absurd
ly small. In all Europe the total electric
railway mileage in 1S95-the latest obtaina-

RISING AT LEAVENW0RTH.
Missouri Came Up Six Inches Yester-

Seriously Impeded.

Leavenworth, Kas., April 16-(SpecialO
The river came up slowly, but steadily, all

day night 10 the same hour Tonight there
was q rise of six inches. The stage at

the water will continue TO rise slowly until
noon tomorrow, when II Will remain sta

The river at this point is far above the
danger line. AT no point il is less than
a mile wide and at one place, opposite Fort

The railroad people are feeling the eff

the Burlington, Rock Island and Maple

the eastern side of the river through the

E. Davidson Palmer, an English novelist,
has been for five six years making ex
periments with the falsetto voice. and con-
cludes that a revolution in the development
of the male voice is at hand. From his
experiments he has obtained results so
startling he says, as to be at variance with
| all that Is taught on the subject, though
he reached them by reason OF his own per-
sonaI experience long. before his expert
| ments upon others began, yet he felt the
hopelessness of announcing them until he
had fully fortified himself with contirma-
| tory evidence. This evidence, he thinks.
he now has. and he gives it to the public
| in the Nineteenth Century. These conclu-
siens are stated by him at the outset as
follows:
| which had long entertained by the estab-
| lishment of the remarkable fact that by
within few notes of the bottom of the vo-
cal compass, and by exercising it frequent
ly and persistently, it is possible at this low
il until it acquires all the robustness of the
ordinary chest voice When this process
| of development is completed, the voice may
| be said to be entirely transformed. The
old chest voice is discarded. and in the
| place of the two registers of which the
voice formerly consisted there is now only
one register. which extends from one eX-
tremity of the voice to the other. This new
voice, while as regards strength and vol
to the discarded chest voice for which it
may easily be mistaken. differs from it in
three important particulars: Firstly. in the
peculiar beauty and sweetness of its quail
ity secondly. in its exceptionally extended
compass. and thirdly. in the perfect ease
with which it can be carried to its upper
limit.
lone of the voices with which 7 was most
successful was that of young man, of
about six and twenty years of age. who.
when he came to me. had already mad some
little training. His voice. which was tenor.
consisted of the two registers commonly
known as chest voice and falsetto The
break between these two registers was
quite conspicuous, and the difficulty in pro-
ducing the upper notes of the chest regis
ter was unmistakable. He had been taught
to exercise the chest voice and let the So
called falsetto alone i advised him to do
exactly the reverse. On getting him to
bring the upper register down as far as G
in the fourth space of the bass stave, near
ly an octave lower than is supposed TO be
of any practical use, found it. as, was to
be expected exceedingly weak and
breathy' Below that point it was little
better than whisper. on this weak and
breathy' voice he now began to work un-
der my directions, by means principally of
octave and arpeggio exercises.
After about three months of regular and
diligent practice very remarkable increase
of strength was observable in all the notes
as far down as the G just mentioned

WOOL MEN DISSATISFIED.
Western Senator's Will Insist Upon
Important Changes in the
Dingicy Bill.

Washington, April 16-Western senator's,
after several conferences, have reached an
agreement to stand together for important
changes in the wool schedule of the Ding
ley bill The senators most prominently
identified with the movement are Messrs.
Mantle, Carter, Shoup. Warren and Bur
rows. They have not only agreed upon a
line of amendments, but have decided to in
sist on their inclusion in the bill The
meetings have also been attended by many
prominent woolgrowerS. The proposed
amendments are directed mainly to closing
the many loopholes for evasions and fraud
which woomen agree abound in the Ding
ley, and were also found in the Mckinley
law.
Senator Mantle. who introduced the
memorial of the National Wool Growers
Association in the senate, says that the
amendments do not nearly. cover the de-
mand made by the association, but in his
opinion, will be a vast improvement upon
the bill as it passed the house of represent
atives. 1t viii remain with the Western
senators. he says, TO say whether or not
the proposed amendments shall become
part of the new tariff law, or whether the
demands of the wool manufacturers, as APP
piled TO wool. shall outweigh those of the
wool growers themselves.

Three young men were lounging about

other night after business hours, discuss
ing the new administration, financial out
look of the country, opera season and other
equally interesting TOPICS. One of them, the
shipping clerk, finally declared, as he blew
out cloud of smoke from his scent cigar:
Well. tell you it's just coming to this:
the girls will have to pay for their own
seats if they expect US to take them to the

out in the heat of the discussion.
The bookkeeper only smiled as he con-
tinued his counting. but the cashier, who
had taken very little part in the conversa-
tion hitherto, being occupied in arranging
his necktie to his satisfaction before the
looking glass in the lavatory door, looked
up and asked, as he gave final twirl to
his mustache:
What would you say to a girl who
never mentions the operas, theater or
dances; doesn't eat candy and can't bear
howers?''
The other two young men cried together:
Where is she?"
That's telling" returned the cashier:

SENATE COMMITTEES.
Republican Committee Votes to Ac-
cept the Democratic Re0rgan-

Washington, April 16.-The Republican
committee on committees Of the senate to-
day agreed unanimously to accept, SO far
as it is empowered to do so, the PROPOSE
ton made by the Democrats for the reor-
ganiZation of the senate committees. Ac-
cordingly, caucus VIII be held at 10 O'Clock
Monday morning. The proposition which
the committee has agreed to accept pro-
vides that the Republicans shall fill all the
committee places which were filled by Re-
publican senators during the last congress,
including the chairmanships vacated by
Republicans and that they shall be given
one additional place en- the appropriations
committee, vacated by a Democrat and
that the membership of the committee on
postoftices and post roads shall be increased
from nine to ten in order to give the DEM
ocrats an additional place on that commit
tee. This arrangement Will result in leav-
ing Republicans at the head of all the i'm
portant committees, but majority of the
membership of many of them will be anti
Republican.
There are indications that committee rec
ommendation will not be received with fa-
Vor by all the Republican senators.
