give him authority to enter the sale of
the Kansas Pacific as bidder, but con-
gress had taken no action. The final Of
fer made by the reorganization commit
tee the president had evidently regarded
as reasonably satisfactory. Senators
might differ from the president as to
the value of the property but he had
consulted many well-informed persons
and felt that in receiving the full amount
of the Kansas Pacific debt less the in
terest, he was doing very well.
Gear moved that the resolution be re-
ferred to the committee on Pacific rail-
roads. Pending the vote on this resolu-
ton, Turpie declared that an effort was
being made by the reorganization com
mittee to recoup on the Kansas Pacific
sale what 1t had been compelled to pay
for the Union Pacific main lire, III addi-
tion to what 1t had expected to pay. He
maintained that the Kansas Pacific
branch was necessary to the owners of
the main line, and that they were com
PEELED to purchase the branch road. In
view of this fact, they ought to be forced
to pay the s6000,000 Of interest due.
Turple then offered the following reso-
luton and asked that 1t lie over until
tomorrow:
Resolved, That 1t is the opinion of the
senate that the sale Of the Kansas Pa
ciflc division Of the Union Pacific rail-
road, made today, ought not to be con-
firmed, except upon terms that the orig
inal claim and the interest due thereon
from the said railway company of the
Kansas Pacific division be paid in full
by the bidders
Gears motion to refer the resolution
to the Pacific railroad committee was
submitted to the senate, and the motion
was defeated, 10 to "a.

AGerman Invention.
(From the Baltimore Herald

Since tine invention OF the kaleidoscope and kin
dred instruments we have become quite accus-
toned to the idea of instantaneous photography.
Nearly everyone knows that it is possible to take
picture in the hundredth part OF a second, yet
few persons are aware that there in use pho
tographic shutters which move with speed oil
the thousandth part of second Now, however
we are astonshed by the news from Berlin that
clockmaker named Lobner has invented an lnstru-
ment which can take ESQ photographs in sec
ond, or at the rate Of 172.S10 per minute
One of the uses to which the instrument may be
put is the measurement of the speed of moving
proiectles or OF falling objects. and IN scientific
experiments II it proves as successful in practi-
cd affairs as it seems to have been in the pre-
liminary tests this wonderful continuance will be
welcomed by sayants the world over.
