The invention Of the kite Is usually
attributed to the Chinese. The first
man on actual record a. having used
the kite II Archytas (about 400 B. C.)
For what purpose he employed It I
have been unable to ascertain, but it is
not probable that he accomplished any
thing Of scientific importance; and it
was not until l7l9, when DR.. Alexander
Wilson and Mr.. Thomas Melville, in
Scotland, used It for taking the tenn
perature Of the upper Dir, that the kite
showed possibilities OF becoming use-
full and scientific apparatus Franklln's
well-known experiment Of obtaining
atmospheric electricity by means Of q
kite again drew attention to It. It
however, within the last decade that
the kite has gained nearly ali Of its
importance, and this h due to its de-
velopment By men who have studied 1t,
and tho forces acting upon II, In a
scientific way. Among others may be
named Marvin, Langley, Hargrsve and

THE Ssnats snA the Arbitration Treaty.
(By CAas. =. kuley, n ne Nay Fbrsm).
It 10 not alone by obstinate ill-doing
that the senate has forfeited the public
respect. In what It refuses to do, or
does grudgingly under the lash OF COM
pulsion. It II unbearably exasperating.
The mulish stubbornness with which
It has resisted the will Of the people IN
respect to the Treaty Of Arbitration is
. fragrant example Of degenerate
practices. That treaty was conceived
In the spirit Of higher civilization, of
advancing humanity. It was Of that
indisputable expedlency that is an in
herent quality Of truth and honesty
and sjustice. No right-minded man
sufficiently advanced to haye laid aside
skins, and discarded the stone Ratchet
and the club, could have refrained
from acclaiming the principle Of arbi-
tration ~ happy means Of escaping
the barbarian Of war. The instrument
had been perfected by the diligent
labors Of men incomparably ADLER and
broader than any that now cit la the
senate. It was such pact a. an en-
lightened branch Of the treaty.mak-
ing power would have ratified after
delay sufficient only to allow it, chief
statesmen to express worthily their
pleasure at joining In a work Of such
beneacenoe. Yet. from the moment it
received the treaty from the hands Of
the president, the United States senate
has rallied 1t II and rent 1t savagely,
a. though 1t were league with death.
Senators Of twenty years service have
shown themselves not ashamed to
plead the general issue against it;
openly ayowing hostility to arbitra-
tion and to England, which it was their
Judgment the country also ought to
feel. Others have opposed ratification
40 means Of revenge upon Mr. Cleve-
land and Olney. and have been unable
to conceal their detestable motive.
Still others. and / grieve to say that
Senator Hoar 10 one Of these, have put
upon the treaty unsightly and per-
verting patches At amendment that
well-nigh extinguish it, usefulness,
and endanger it, acceptance by Eng
land. These are the characteristic
procedures Of degenerate legislature.
II 10 impossible that in any senate
where eat . Webster or Sumner the
meaner and uncivilized half would, In
20 grave business, achieve IN almost
unresisted triumph. The savages
would stink away before the majesty OF
their countenances. or be persuaded by
the elequence Of their lips.

A NEW CABINET POSITION,

st. Louis, Feb. "A special from
New York says: Information has
been received by the members of the
chamber of commerce of New York
that President-elect Mckinley will
solve the cabinet question of the del
egates TO state by having n depart
ment of trade and commerce created
early in his administration and then
placing New Yorker at the head Of
it.
"The work of the department as out
lined will be chilly to look after for
eign commerce. The secretary Of the
department would have charge Of the
registration of ships and would divide
with the treasury department the
work at different ports. His chief du-
ty would be, however. to promote the
American shipping industry by recon-
mending legislation and taking other
steps to restore the country in the po-
sition it once occupied in respect to
shipping"

THOSE COUNTERFEIT DEEDS.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 1.-The
prosecution has been trying to prove
conspiracy in connection with the per-
jury charges now being heard against
j. j. Cooney, eX-notary public, who
said he received ex-senator Fairs ac-
kowledgment to deeds for valuable
property given to Mrs. Craven. The
prosecution has instituted an inquiry
regarding the printing last week of
quantities of legal blanks, the fac
SMILES of those used by Cooney. Sem
sational charges have been made con-
corning the blanks, with the intima-
ton that the defense was manufactur-
ing evidence. Attorneys Delmal and
Reddy for the defense, were called to
the witness stand and told the prose-
cutting counsel that the blanks were
not intended to deceive the court, but
to confuse expert witnesses and to test
their expert knowledge. The witness
further testified that the defendant,
Cooney, knew nothing of the printing,
and that the ruse was not for use In
the present criminal case but partly in
the interest of Mrs. Craven and also
for use in civil action OF Cooney
against c. L. Fair for 100000 Tor hpel'

PICKLER'S PICKLE.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 2.-The question
has arisen as to whether Picker has
not already received enough votes to
elect him United States senator,
The point is of the legality of the
votes cast for Plowman. He is a Cir
cult judge and the constitution makes
void all votes cast by the people or
the Legislature for any other than a
judicial office for judge while hold
ing his Office. On the ballot Of Mon
day last, 121 votes were cast, 10 of
which were for Plowman. Picker
received 50 of the remainder and if
the Plowman votes were void. Pick
Ter had a majority of the legal votes.

UNION PACIFIC TROUBLE.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. John Patrick,
government inspector Of the Union Pa
cific, has returned from New York. In
an interview he said that Congress
would not now stop the foreclosure sale
of the companys property. Neither
the Harrison bill nor any other can
now effect the statutes Of the sale"
said Mr.. Patrick. 1T is too late for
Congress to interfere regarding the
Union Pacific. The matter is still
open regarding the Central Pacific"
Mr.. Patrick said that Russell Sage
and Geo. Gould had not complained Of
the foreclosure of the Union Pacific
by the government as stated in dis
patches from New York. Mr.. Gould
had said nothing but Mr.. Sage did
make complaint regarding the six per
cent collaterals but it was Of no COM
ment.

NEW REVOLUTION.
THIS TIME GUATEMALA Is THE
SEAT OF THE UPRISING.
Uause of the Revolt Unobtainable, Blu,
1t Will Put Check to President
Barrio's Ambition.

New York, Feb. "A dispatch to
the Herald from Panama says:
The Herald's correspondent in Ma
nagua, Nicaragua, telegraphs that a
revolution has broken out in Guate-
mala. Details are as yet unobtaina-
BILE.
President Zeiaya, of Nicaragua, has
attempted to get report from Pres
ident Barrios as to the exact nature
of the crisis in Guatemala, but thus
far without success.
The Guatemanal government, it is
reported, has established n censorship
over the cable Office at San Jose. This
goes far to confirm the report that an
instruction is in progress.
The Herald's correspondent in San
Salvador sends word that Adeoa Tri-
buno, with a band Of seventy-five fol-
uOwers crossed the border from Saliva
dor and attacked the town of Concep-
cion. He killed two citizens and
plundered several houses.
After securing all the money and
arms that they could find tie rebels
marched toward Esquipulas. Their
attack upon that town proved disas-
trous.
They met Il warm reception from the
garrison. composed of one nupdrcd
uCn. which put them to flight. After
a short but hot skirmish the rebels
left ten dead and wounded and twelve
prisoners. including six officers.
The government troops engaged in
a hot pursuit afte: the fleeing rebels.
Tie officers and men caught were
sent. under escort, to the capital.
N2w York Fen. 2.--ThP foregoing
dispatch from the Herald's special
correspondent see.uS to prove that
President BarriOs. of Guatemala, has
received a check from which his am
t'i'Cn may suffer At the time " tie
formation OF the Grtater Republic of
| Central America President RarrioS
| was credited with opposing the
! scheme as q distant menace to the
stability of his administration. AMI as
n strong impeachment TO the rcaliZl'
| ton of his desire to be the foremost
! leader in Central American politics.
As the Herald's correspondent is
unable vet to send details of the new
| revolt it is impossible to say what
led to the revolution, but it may be
that the worst fears of BarriOS have
proved well grounded and he is even
now suffering from the Vaccinations

Der Of the Congressional comittee in
vestigatming Gov. A. J. Smiths man
agement of the Soldiers Home here,
has arrived in Leavenworth and is
hearing testimony, both corroborative
and in rebuttal to that given before
the committee in Washington recent
ly by Mr. Powell, who charged Gov
Smith with drunkenness, with treat
ing the inmates harshly and with
compelling them to take the Kelley
cure.
Mr.. Warner has examined several
witnesses. Veteran Louis Heilich in a
measure, cOrroborated the testimony
given by Powell. Governor Smith
caused several attendants from the
hospital to be examined as to the i'll
treatment alleged by Powell when he
was an inmate of that part of the
home. They all testified that Powell
had been well treated. Several other
witnesses were examined. There was
some testimony corrobOrative of that
given by Powell, but in the main, the
evidence was favorable to Gov. Smith.
