CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

Washington, May 19.-While seYera
important paragraphs in the war
revenue measure were passed over for
future consideration, excellent prog
gress was made by the senate in con-
sideration of the bill. TWo-thirds of
the measure has been read the com
mittee amendments generally having
been agreed to. Mr.. McLaurin (dem.
S. CO. opened the discussion of the bill
with carefully prepared speech touch
ing on all of it's features The provi-
sion to place stamp tax upon pro-
prietory articles and perfumeries now
in stock aroused a lively discussion.
1t was regarded as retroactive 1egisla-
ton and, as such, was opposed by
many senators. The paragraph has
not been disposed of finally.

ON THE
QUI WYE
News of a Great Naval
Battle Expected
Soon.
Meeting of the Fleets
Cannot Long Be
Delayed.
Confidence Felt That
Simpsons Squadron
Will Easily Win.

Washington, May 23.-The report OF
Saturday from Cape Hayden OF
fight off the Mole st. Nicholas, Hayt1,
is contradicted by the naval authorl-
ties here. A dispatch from st.
Pierre, Martinique, reports rumor
that Cervera's fleet was expected to
return to Fort de France to obtain a
supply of coal from Spanish GOLFERS,
said to be on the way, or from the
British steamer Twickenham. This
would seem improbable, if the Span
ish admiral has been able to reach
Spanish port possessing a stock OF
coal, as has been supposed.
Intelligence from San Francisco re-
ports the departure of the cruiser
Charleston for Manila, with NUM-
lions and other supplies for Admiral
Dewey, to be followed at once by the
City of Picking, with the first install
ment of troops.
Stirring news may be expected from
SIMPSONS fleet at almost any mo-
ment, and until that arrives the feel
ing of anxiety will be intense, al
though there is general confidence
that it will give a good account of it
self in due time.
The work of the censor at the war
news centers is very effective, so
far as information regarding naval
movements is concerned. In the
meantime there is reason to believe
that Admiral Simpsons ships are
looking out for Cervera's squadron
with every prospect of finding it, if
they have not done so already. If,
as now believed, the Oregon has joined
SIMPSONS fleet, he has been greatly
strengthened for the conflict now
thought to be inevitable within day
or two.
Another fleet is said to be about
ready to leave Cadiz for Cuban waters.
Rumors continue of great naval
battle off Hayti.

BEES AS MESSENGERS.
They Carry Dispatches as Unerringly

1t is more than likely that the next
great European war will be signalized
by some altogether remarkable limo
vations in the way of carrying militia
ry dispatches. The carrier pigeons of
a quarter of a century back are GER
tain to be superseded, perhaps by
storks, perhaps by sparrows. Exper-
iments have already been tried with
both these birds, and with a fair de-
gree of success.

swiftness of flight and his strength,

is too easy a mark for the Lebel bu

this uncertainty an English apicultu
list offers bees as messengers OF wa
He has tested their packet-carryi1
abilities, and can vouch for the
speedy return, upon liberation, to Il
place whence they came.
While at first sight the turning
bees into couriers may seem som,
thing of a joke, it is nevertheless r,
garded seriously throughout Englan
The man who suggested it took fe
bees from his own house to that of
friend four miles away. He waite
several days, so that the bees nigh
become familiar with their surround
ings. He then let a few of theL
loose in a room, in which was plat
of honey. The bees settled upon this
and while they were busy eating moci
dispatches were fastened on them BIZ
the apiculturist's trained hand.
The thinnest of all thread bound
the little packets, which were of the
filmiest of paper, to the bees backs.
Great care was taken to leave the
head and wings absolutely free The
windows were then opened and the
bees thrown out into the air. With
the certainty of carrier pigeons, they
started off at once for home, arriving
there in an incredibly short time.
with the packets secure upon their
backs.
Naturally this project would only be
possible in summer and in warm cli-
mates, for the reason that the bees
would be unable to endure severe
weather. Bees would have the advan-
tage over pigeons or birds because Of
their invisibility. Nor would there
be any difficulty in going through the
enemy's lines. The apiculturist says
that they could travel so miles quite
as easily as they could four.
Though this is the first time that
bees have been suggested as army
messengers, there have been many
cases when they have proved inval-
liable as defending forces. At one
time, several centenuries ago, the city
of TamlyJ in the Spanish territory of
Xiatine, was besieged by the Portu-
guese. The invaders were winning
bastion after bastion, when the be-
leagured citizens were struck with a
brilliant project. They brought all
the hives that they could find in the
place and set them upon the city wall,
building great fires underneath them.
The smoke and the flames so incensed
the bees that they rushed out in
sWarms and flew down upon the enc
N.Y. making a panic instanter and
causing them to fee.
Very much the same plan was tried,
and with equal success, by states
man of Thuringia, whose house was.
surrounded one day by furious mob.
He marched his servants out with
all his beehives and threw them one
by one in the midst of the crowd. A
cannon ball would not have been half
as effective as were these strange and
unexpected weapons. It took but a
few moments to clear the space
around the statesman's dwelling

It is impossible to promulgate a
