Electricity can be applied to In
Vulnerable uses about the house, sup
planting the less convenient devices
and contrivances. but, unfortunately,
the new ones using the current almost
always cost more than the old. Where
money is no object and luxury and con-
venience are supreme considerations
everything conceivable can be done by
electricity. For instance. on the yacht
Niagara, built for George Gould. and
recently launched, the electric plant Is
employed to furnish light for 40 10
candle-power incandescent lamps, and
storage batteries are provided capable
of supplying energy for 80 more. The
dynamos are SO designed that as many
as 900 lamps can be illumined for pur-
poses Of display, besides . powerful
searchlight on the bridge. There are
also electric heaters. curling tongs,
smoothing irons, ranges. warming pans
and electric elevators. Electricity
will operate the laundry and drying
room, it will heat chatting dishes and
bring out the music OF big orches-
trion. Call bells, telephones and such
minor electric devices are also provided
in profusion.

NEWS OF THE VICTORY.
Great Enthusiasm on the Flying Squad
ron Over Dewey's Coup.

Great Enthusiasm on the Flying Squad
ron Over Dewey's Coup.
On Board the Flagship Brooklyn, off
Fort Monroe, May 4.-Before the
newspaper boy brought the special edi-
lions with news of the battle of Manila
on board this morning, those who slept
until O'Clock were awakened by the
sharp reports of guns. With the ex-
ception of the morning and evening
guns, always expected, any explosion
creates excitement now, and this was
the case today until it was learned that
the steamer Scorpion was firing salute.
The salute was returned, and then came
the newspapers containing the press
dispatches of Dewey's victory. From
stoker to commodore, every man in the
squadron knew of the victory within an
hour. Officers and men went at routine
work with enthusiasm. Knots of those
off duty discussed the meager details,
and nearly everybody said: II told
you So"
Commodore Schley refused to dis
cuss the matter, except to say. ut was
what was to be expected from Dewey.
AS the most definite news of Dewey's
success came there was great jubilation.
The Brooklyn was the first ship to carry
Commodore Dewey's flag, and, these
messages were sent:
"To Dewey: The Brookly, which
first few your flag, glories in your VIC
tory. OFFICERS AND CREW"
"To Dewey: The flying squadron
says to the Asiatic squadron: Bully,
boysl Congratulations. SCHLEY.
1t was with great difficulty that the
men could be restrained from outbursts
of enthusiasm when the bulletins were
posted forward, and Commodore Schley
said that If the official news was as
good as the press dispatches, he would
let the men yell themselves hoarse.

At O'Clock this morning flames shot
up through the roof of the building.

NO TIME LOST.

Senate's Quick Action on the War De-
fciency Bill.
Washington, May 4.-Several war
measures were passed by the senate to-
day, and Notwithstanding their import
ance, not one ELECTED the slightest de-
bate. Probably the most important
measure passed was the emergency war
deficit bill carrying $50, 100, 945. Not
more than 10 minutes were consumed
in passing it. that time being occupied
in reading the measure.
Hawley, chairman of the military
affairs committee, secured the passage
of bill providing for the enlistment
of a volunteer brigade of engineers, and
of 10, 900 men in the South, who are
immune to yellow fever, these enlist
ments to be in addition to those pro-
vided for in the presidents call for
1876, 900 men. The men will enlist
"for the war.

Cemant Admixtures.

For the past three years the cement
trade section of the British board of
trade has been making Investigations
into the question of cement admixtures,
and the result is that the board an
nounces that Portland cement be de-
fined as a mixture Of two or more suit
able materials intimately and artifically
mixed in the requisite proportions, and
afterward properly treated, to which
nothing has been added during or after
calcination except that an addition not
exceeding per cent OF gypsum is per-
missable." If anything more be added
the article 80 produced shall not be
called Portland cement. The worst
adulterants for Portland cement are
decided to be ragstone and blast-fur-
mace stag, the latter by far the more
Objectionable.

Witty, but Bitter.


DR.. Thompson, master of Trinity col
lege, Cambridge, was scholar and an
administrator; but his fame rests on
his sharp, witty and often bitter cpl
grams. He said Of Ely, where, as
professor of Greek, he held a canonry:
THE place is so damp that even the
sermons won't keep dry there's" and at
a college meeting where some of the
young fellows were treating with very
little respect the opinions of their
seniors, he said, ''None Of us is quite
infallible, not even the youngest.
OF an amiable and excellent scholar
he said, "The time he spends on the
neglect of his duties he wastes on. the
adornment of his person." and of an
eminent professor, whose first lecture
he attended, II little thought that we
should so soon have cause to regret his
predecessor, Professor --."

Madrid, May 8. - Advices from
Manila say that the American squad
ron. under Commodore Dewey, ap-
peared off the bay of Manila at B
O'Clock this morning and opened a
strong cannonade against the Spanish
squadron and forts protecting the har-
Dor. The Spanish second-class cruiser
Don Juan de Austria, was severely
damaged and her commander was
killed. Another Spanish vessel was
burned. The American squadron re-
tired, having also sustained severe
damage.
A second naval engagement followed,
in which the American squadron again
suffered considerable loss and the
Spanish warships Mindanao and Ulloa
were slightly damaged. During this
engagement the Cavite forts maintained
a steadier and stronger fire upon the
American squadron than in the first
engagement.
Admiral Bermejo, the minister of
marine. has expressed himself as highly
pleased with the heroism of the Spanish
marines, and has telegraphed congratu-
latons TO Admiral Montejo and the
valorous crews of the Spanish squadron
under fire of superior warships.
