Significant Remark Made by a
Member of the British
Parliament.

New York, March pa dispatch to
the Tribune from London says: The
abstract of the report of the Maine court
Of inquiry has been read with keen in
terest by naval experts. but they refrain
from expressing professional opinion
when they have not seen the text, and the
evidence of the complete eXoneratlon of
the officers Iii charge of the ship con-
vinces them that internal accident was
excluded from the case, but they are
surprised that the evidence of the divers
concerning the condition of the wreck was
not more definite.
The opinion of the court that the de
struction of the ship was caused by eX-
0losOn of mine on the port side, which
set off the two magazines by detonaton,
Is accepted on account of the high char
acter of Capt. Sampson and his col
leagues as experts on explosives. Naval
experts have not wished to believe that
the explosion was due to Internal ana
mysterious causes and frankly say 50.
They do not consider the Vienna the
DRY, published here today. as credih!e.
This attributes the explosion TO a drllt
mine which had been forgotten and went
off accidentally under the spontaneous
chemical charges. They consider II more
natural To suppose thar any NINE Nhlcn

wire from the shore. English naval eN-

piMMlNG ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Device to obtain Different Degrees of In
tensity From One Lamp.

Device to obtain Different Degrees of In
tensity From One Lamp.
From the New York Sun.
Electric lights for household use have
always heretofore been open to the OBJ
j. ction that they could not be turned
down without putting them out. Where
they were used in bedrooms persons
who needed a DINNER night light We're
forced to resort to gas, candles or kero
sene. Recently this objection has been
overcome and a number of manufac-
turers are now Offering for sale sockets
for incandescent lamps which enable
person to regulate the amount of light
produced within wide limits.
These sockets can be put uD in place
of the ordinary ones with little trouble
or expense, and the light given out by
the lamps which they carry can be reg
ulated as readily as can u gas jet. This
result is attained by the introduction
into the socket of coils of fine wire.
which act as resistance coils. In one
style of these sockets there are five of
these coils, and the light Of a 16-candle
power lamp can be reduced by two or
three candle-p power jumps down to two
candle power. The work of a resistance
coil is to absorb some part of the cleo
tricaI current which seeks to pass
through it, allowing only the remaining
force to act upon the carbon filament
Of the lamp, to produce heat and conse-
quent light
In the new sockets the button. which
turns the full current into the carbon
filament, is so arranged that it turns on
the current at the first movement, but
instead of directing 1t through the car
bon at once it passes through the whole
five of the resistance coils. These coils
absorb so much of the electrical energy
that the carbon is heated only TO a red
color and its glow is dim BY a further
ance coils is left out of the circuit and
the carbon gets more energy and rises
in temperature and light-giying quail
ties. Another movement cuts out
second coil and gives more light, and
SO on until the coils are cut out and
the carbon gets the full strength of the
current. These new sockets do nor
make any saving in the cost of the
DINNER lights, as is done whRl one
turns down a gas jet or lamp wick, for
the full current is always in use for
each grade of lighting, but they are
convenient.
In England there is a lamp In use
which has the same purposes as those
described and it is ingenious. The glass
bulb Is provided with two carbon fila
ments, each connected to its own sep
arate platinum wires. Besides The or
binary button which turns the electric
current on and off, these lamps have
a second button. When this button Is
in one position the electric current is
all sent through one carbon filament
ana the lamp gives its maximum 81
light. In a second position this button
turns the current into both filaments.

LEWlSTOWN NEWS.

Great Falls, Feb. 19.--The miners at
Lewistown had cause to rejoice at the
change in the methods of running the
mines. 1t was pay day and the checks
were ready for the men. Five years
ago it took all the men and several six
shooters to obtain any pay from the
management at all, and even such ar
gumentS We're useless. Now the boys
get their money the minute it is due,
and they get all of it.
Judge Metz. attorney for p. II. Pur-
mont, is at Gilt Edge looking over some
mining property in which his principal
has an interest.
The miners working on the Lookout
claim at Gilt Edge have been laid off
for a few days. The Gilt Edge. how
ever, is working full force and its min
is running night and day under the su-
pervision of e. w. King.
w. f. Wilson. an old prospector in
the Judith mountains, is quoted as say
ing that in a short time all of the
many complications over the title to
the Gilt Edge property viii be straight
ened out If such a fortunate thing
should happen, there is no doubt that
the mine would soon rank among the
steady producers of the country.
James Reid, a miner at Gilt Edge, is
getting ready to make for the Black
feet reservation in order to be on hand
when the mineral strip is thrown open
for exploration. He is one of the many
who have faith in it's richness.
1t is reported that the ore at the Gilt
Edge mine is being taken out faster
than the mill can work it. In conse-
quence the 5o0-ton ore bin at the mill
is overlooking and it is believed that
this fact accounts for the laying off of
the force of miners on the Lookout.

New York. FEB. i9-The Financier
says: The statement of the Associated
Banks for the week ending Feb. ~ Is
remarkable for its loan and cash show
ings. Ordinarily an increase of $I.o1S. 800
in loans Is accompanied by a proportion
ate expansion in the deposits, but in the
current statement deposits arc also sta
tlonary. showing a decrease of $4,000
On the other hand there was a loss Of
Sc. TO 400 iii cash. the gain Of Sls6s. 100 III
specie having been Offset by a decrease
of sS335. 500 In legal tenders. Where this
money went is somewhat problematieal.
but the statement analyzed 10 indy
idual changes shows one large bank to
have lost nearly $1,000. 900 III cash. Its
loans remain NJ nearly the same figure
previously reported and its deposits have
fallen off S. o00, 900. Three of the other
large banks seem 10 have lost $1,000 900 in
cash. thus accounting for the total
change of the week.
The only inference Is that the cash
loaned or an amount large has gone
out of banks since II does not show in
the deposits and the increase In loans
and the decrease In cash almost exactly
Offset each other As the reserve re-
quirements Tor the week were not affect
ed by heavy changes, the loss in cash
reduces the surplus reserve by almost
the same amount drawn out of the banks
The excess money in the banks Is now
down to So, SIS. $50. an amount about al
most one-haif as large as reported for
the same week last year. Since Jan. -
this year, the loss in reserve has been
$40 900. Gao while deposits have increased
$l6. o00. 900 and loans So 0G0. 900.
In other words, loans are expanding
faster than deposits and cash is decreas-
ing as u result. Although the latter has
been the case for only one week, IL IS
significant as showing that the flow Of
money 10 this center has been checked
to meet growing demands al interior
points. New York exchange at nearly
all domestic centers is at discount and
the actual shipments Of currency to the
banks In a number OF cities widely sep
arated is a heaithful indication of better
trade conditions. If IL continues. and
