Washington, Jan. 20.-Advices from

day: 1.-The majority if properly organ
lied, would easily elect Senator Mitchell
to succeed himself, but the minority re-
fuses to permit II regular organization of
the house OF representatives. The minor
ity is led by one of the strongest and
most determined men in the state, and IL
man whom have always admired. But
to thwart the will OF the people by
minority obstinacy is worse tn an revolu.

the Republican managers here Present
indications are that there will be vacan-
cies in the Senate from the States of Del

Idaho. Three vacancies would leave the

seven, of which a majority would be for
tvfour BY the election of Pritchnrd. of

have forty two, or two less than n ma
]ority.
Governor Bradley promises to convene

elected to succeed Senator Blackburn
The Republicans would then have forty
three straight party votes III the Senate,
and the casting vote of Vice President
Hobart would enable them to reorganize
that body at the extra session to be called
by President Mckinley. But, with a
bare majority, the Republicans would
only be able to pass Il tariff bill of the
hotch potch variety, because every indi-
v:dual Senator would have to be satisfied
with his local views and desires, just as
individual Senators managed to compel
recognition of local industries in every
State before the Wilson bill was passed
two years ago.

HARRISON IN WASHINGTON.
The EN- President Unexpectedly Pays a
Visit to the Capital


Visit to the Capital
Washington, Jan 20-Ex President
Harrison arrived in the city this after.
home in indianapolis, which he left yes
terday. He is Shaving at the Arlington
Hotel where he met w. II. II. Miller, At
torney General in his Cabinet, who came
on from New York city to day. The ex-
President and his former law partner are
here for the purpose of making argu
meutS in the supreme court in an Indiana
case in which both are Interested. Gen.
eral Harrison is anxious to return to In
dianapolis, where he has an important
engagement, IS soon rs possible, and if
he concludes his business before the court
tomorrow he will leave in the afternoon,
but he does not now think he will be
able to get away then.
The eX Presidents arrival in the city
was not generally known among his
friends and consequently but II few saw
him during the evening. Most of the
time he spent with Mr.. Miller looking
over the case in which they are inter.
ested. To number of newspaper repor.
tiers who called on him, General Harrison
extended cordial greeting, but told
them he had no news of interest. He
manifested his usual reserve in talking
of public questions and refused to dis.
cuss them for publication. General IIar-
rison's attention was called to the pub
lished statement that his name had been
mentioned in connection with the Am
bassndorship to the Court of St. James,
and he very promptly said that he had
not been offered the position. As to
whether he would accept the mission il
rendered him, he pointed out that it
would not be becoming in him to answer
questions of that kind.

Lamp Explosions.

Tho Lancet has deemed tho subject of
lamp explosions of sufficient Importance
to deserve the attention of the authori-
ties, and there are some hints as to the
kind and care of lamps that are worthy
of attention. AT the same timo it is 4,
remarkable fact that, while lamp acct
dents are frequent, there arc compare
lively few fatalities resulting therefrom.
1t is also stated that the quality of the
lamps is very much inferior to tho quail
ity of the oil. Indeed it seems to matter
but little what the lamp is or how i'm
perfectly it is constructed. 1t is lamp,
and if it is cheap one every othor
consideration is lost sight Of Lamps
may be bought for 90 cents and are
taken into the houses of the purchasers
and filled and lighted, with no concern
whatever rs to their safety, if indeed
that subject is ever thought of. 1t would
be an excellent idea if there could be-
some official inspection of lamps, and,
if possible, an oversight of tho oil sup
piled TO families We're this done many
lives and much property might be saved.

Artificial Silk.

According to an elaborate article in
the London Times on the production of
the new or artificial silk, u high degree
OF luster is ono of the principal charac-
terisuics OF the article. Another merit
which the product possesses is that of
taking dyes much moro readily than the
natural silk, fact made abundantly
evident by the colors and extreme rich
ness of tho specimens which have been
exhibited to the London public The
main difference i'll appearance between
the natural and the artificial silk may
therefore be said to consist i'll the greater
luster of the latter, though iu is also
found that, on taking single thread of
each, tho artificial breaks differently
from the natural and has about so per
cent of it's strength The success which
has been secured by this new process in
France is such, it is said, that the intro
duction of the industry in parts of Eng
land is promising. it being anticipated
that by this means much of the weaving
machinery now unemployed will be
brought into use.
