SEA TO BE HARNESSED.
Thomas A. Edison. Jr.'s Plan to Utilize
Power of the Waves.

New York, Jan. 17.-Thomas A. Ed.
ison, jr., has invented machine for
utilizing the wave power of the sea.
When in place the machine will be
miles out at sea and will consist Of a
series of gigantic air pumps. The air
compressed by these will be used to run
dynamos.
For $25. 900, 900 Mr.. Edison can con.
struct plant, he says, that will fur
nish 1000, 000.horse power, enough to
supply the entire state of New York.
He says that powerful syndicate has
the matter OF immediate construction
of the plant under consideration. His
plans are said to be practically COM
plete.
The Edison wave machine is a series
of gigantic air pumps. The piston OF
the machine stands upright upon plat
form which is pierced by long piston
rod. Upon the lower part of the piston
rod is big fiat float, which rests upo!
the water and is movable by the rise
aud fall of the sea. A wave passing
under the float would elevate the piston
power, fully COMPRISING the air already
contained in the cylinder. This pres
sure will be transmitted directly to the
storage tank for COMPRISING air. By
an arrangement OF oscilators sufficient
air will be admitted behind the piston
to return it quickly to its position upon
the water, where it will be ready to re.
ceive the force of the next wave.

A STATE OF WAR EXISTS.
Hannis Taylcr SO Declares in Speaking
of Cuba.

New York, Jan. lT.--The chairman
of the organizing committee of the
Cuban American League makes public
4 letter from Ianns Taylor, former
United States minister to Spain, in
which he says:
I'm every city of the United States
4 Cuban-American league should be
instantly formed whose primary pur-
pose should be to arouse public opin-
ion to demand the instant passage of
the senate belligerency resolution now
pending in the house of representatives.
When that demand is opposed by the
WORKOUT pretext that the insurgents
are not entitled to such action until
they have first established a completed
facto government, the answer should
be promptly made that the law of ma
tions requires no such thing, and that
the resolution in question need only
recognize the fact that there is now in
Cuba a state of war.
"Who can deny the truth of that
assertion, when he remembers that
Spain has hurled in vain against the
insurgent host over 100000 men and
has expended in vain over 5000, 0OO,-
600? AT the end of three years Spain e
military power in Cuba is nearly at
an end, while the army under Gomez
is in actual possession of nearly the
entire eastern portion of the island.
And yet, in the face of these facts, the
house of representatives, muzzled by
tire present administration, refuses to
recognize the incontestible fact that a
state OF war actually exists in Cuba
today.
THAT denial is now prolonging I'M
necessarily the present conflict. In the
present state of the cause of Spain,
there can be no doubt of the moral sup.
port that the passage of the belligerency
resolution would give to the insur.
gents"
The Cuban-American League has
sent out circular requesting the
mayor of every city in the United
States and the sheriff or ranking officer
in every county to at once appoint a
committee is every city and township
or county to organize local branch OF
the league.

MAY BE PUNISHED.
Burning of the Two Seminole Indians
Being Investigated.

Earlboro, l. t., Jan. 17.-Excite.
ment is still intense here over the re-
cent burning at the stake of two In
dams, and the subsequent fear of an
Indian uprising. Here public senti-
ment has favored the lynchers. AT
Wewoka, the capital of the Seminole
nation, the sympathy is all the other
way, for it is believed the lynchers tor
tured and killed at least one innocent
man.
United States Commissioner Walter
Jones is holding court in Wewoka, and
the deputies Of the court are busy issu-
ing subpoenas and warrants in an en-
deavor to bring the lynchers to justice.
An eyewitness OF the hanging and
burning of the Indians has volunteered
his testimony.
AS no attempt was made by the
lynchers to hide their identity, it is
probable the leaders will be arrested.
They can only be tried on the charge Of
kidnapping and taking the murderers by
force to the Seminole nation. The kill
ing OF the Indians comes under Okla
homa jurisdiction.
The Indians are sullen. White men
state that Il general outbreak will not
occur, but that there is danger that the
Indians will avenge themselves by kill
ing, one by one, the leaders Of the mob.

CAUGHT BY A CAVE-lN.
Five Men EntOmbed In u Tannel Near
Anaconda.

Anaconda, Mont, Jan. 17.-At an
early hour this morning the discovery
was made that five men We're entombed
in a tunnel which the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company is constructing fol
water-f1uming purposes under a bluff
about half a mile beyond the city
limits. A large quantity of powder.
which had been carried into the tunnel
for the use Of the night shift, was ex-
plOded by some means now unknown,
wrecking the face of the tunnel. which
is about $50 feet long, and resulting in
a slide Of earth, which closed the tun-
mel completely at distance of about A
feet from its entrance. From the mo
ment of the discovery of the accident,
diligent effort has been made to reach
the miners, concerning whose fate the
deepest anxiety has been felt. At lC
o'clock tonight, those engaged in the
rescue work felt sure that the noise o1
the miners signal" reached them
from within the tunnel.
1t was proposed to drive three-inch
pipe through the mass of earth that
had filled the tunnel. This plan was
followed and 2O-foot length was sue.
cessfully driven. A second section was
attached, and, to the joy of the anxious
spectators, it penetrated the mass Of
earth.
Immediately, at II o'clock, commu.
nication was established with the i'm
prisoned men. Four of them were re.
ported alive and we'll and one dead
The work of reaching them is going
on vigorously. The men through the
improvised speaking tube, reported
that they suffered neither thirst mol
hunger, but they wanted candles. II

Trade Conditions In the Leading cities

Trade Conditions in the Leading Cities
of the World.
The wheat traders are at sea and are
watching three things closely, as they
have directly opposite bearing on fu.
.ure prices. One is the Argentine
prospects. The others, the cash de-
mand and Letters position on the cash
wheat that he holds. From the news
Saturday from Argentine, London and
Paris, the prospects are that there will
be good exportable surplus in that
country. A direct cable from Rosario
to parties in the trade here from one Of
the best posted men on the Argentine
situation estimated the exportable sur
plus at 100000 bushels, or about
two months supplies for the leading
consuming countries Of Europe. A
number of characters have been made
In London to load wheat in Argentine
and freights have advanced sharply.
Arrangements have been made to ship
81, 5000 in gold from London to Ar,
gentine; also $250,O00 from France
The Argentine wheat will be available
in the latter part of March, as it takes
about six weeks for freight steamers to
make the trip. Argentine offerings in
European markets had a depressing
effect, European buyers using it as a
Stub to break prices in this country.
On the weak spots they bought liber-
ally, export purchases for the week ag-
kregating nearly 1000, 600 bushels. So
long as the Argentine prospects remain
good, it will be used as the bearish fac

to supplies in Europe and afloat is not
strikingly bullish, stocks January
being 1890, 900 bushels, or 1855, 900
bushels less than last year, which is
about one weeks supplies. The in
crease during December was 1,l2O, 900
bushels, while for the same month in
1896 the decrease was 10000, 900
bushels. In the United States and
Canada the stocks, compiled by the
Daily Trade Bulletin, aggregate 3d.
$50, 900 bushels. The decrease in De-
,ember was only $4,000 bushels,
striking contrast with the reduction of
7,712,0 600 bushels in December, 1896.
The net increase in the worlds avail
able supply during December was 1884,
900 bushels, while for the same time in
1896 there was reduction of 17,712,-

Among the discomforts of life and the

choice should always be for the best as the
