In France a method Of seasoning wood
through the agency Of electricity is cred
tied with much success. 1t is called the
Acknowledgement process. The timber
Is nearly immersed in a tank of water
containing 10 per cent of borax, 5 of ros-
In and a little carbonate Of soda and rests
on a lead plate connected with the posi-
tive pole Of a dynamo. Another similar
plate, lying ON the exposed surface Of the
timber. is connected with the negative
pcle. Thus a current Of electricity can
be passed through the wood, from which
all the sap appears to be removed, while
the borax md rosin take its place in the
pores. In Il few hours the timber is tax
en- out and dried. and the seasoning is
said to be complete.

The Treaty Ratified.

Tue Paris treaty of!peace with Spain
was raifed by the Senate Yesterday by
q vote Of 81 to 81, the friends of ratifca-
ton mastering one more than the neces-
sary two-thirds vote,
The break in the lines of the opposi-
tion was made by Senator McLaurin,
of South Carolina, who said that, while
he had not altered his opposition to ex-
pansion, he believed that the events Of
the last few days at Manila made it I'M
wise to embarrass the Government by a
rejection ofthe treaty. Senator McLau.
rim was followed by Senator McEnery,
of Louisiana, and Senator Jones, Of
Nevada, who abandoned the opposition
for the same reason.
The House Committee on Appropria-
ton has inserted in the Sundry Civil
Appropriation Bill a / provision for$2O,-
600, 900 to carry out the terms of the
treaty with Spain, the money to be
available Immediately upon the ex-

Americans like fair play in a fight.
Gen. Miles has stood up like a man
and charged that contractors supplied
our troops with embalmed beef, and Of
fered to furnish proof of the charge.
Secretary Alger, and his gang are
skulking around trying to stab Miles
in the dark, bein G afraid to order him
court-martialed, because that would
give him an opportunity to produce,the
proof he has of his charge, Tho report
of the War Investigsting Commissien,
now in Mr.. Mckinley possession, is
relied upon to give Miles several stabs.
Mr.. Mckinley has been asked to re-
move Miles from the command Of the
army, but he is afraid ia 10 so, because
in that case, Miles would have a right
to demand the cause, and ii a cause
we're given to demand that a cOur-mar-
tial decide whether it be o just one. A
sneaky way Of ousting Miles has been
evolved 10y Aiger. It is proposed Il
amend the Hull army bill by providing
for a revival of the grade Of Lieuteuant
General and then nominating Merritt,
or some other Major General to the
position. Merritt, would not be much
more satisfactory to AlSer as Com
mander of the army than Miles is, as
his contempt for Alger, which dates
away back,,to Ayers court-martial dur
ing the civil war, has never been con-
cealed, and their relations, since Algel
became Secretary Of War have been
confined to strictly official matters. II
looks as though the administration
void Ibe compelled to give Miles a
chance to prove his charges, by order
ing some sort of q Military Inquiry.
Mr.. Mckinley is said to have promised

an ice box is destined to do a great
work in the cause of liberal education
in Tennessee. There is, as we all
know, q tendency into drift in an edu-

ars very much as the mint of the United
States turns out dollars, all beautifully
uniform and regular and n indistin-
guishable from another. Fortunately,

thorized one of its ablest members,

questions, somewhat in the nature Of a

pounded to the different presidents IN

tons were at. Senator Reaves is a deft
hand at this sort OF work, and 80 he
dashes off the following catechism in

Mr.. Keegan, a representative ID the
International Mechanics union, who
was among those heard by the senate
committee on Education and Labor, on
the eight hour bill, made some start
ling charges. He charged that the
Cramp Shipbuilding company and the
Maxim ordenfelds Gen company, be-
ing unable to fill OF the price specified
contracts for guns and gun carriages,
awarded them by the government, had
had the work performed by govern
employees at the Washington navy yard
and received in cash, the difference be-
tween the cost of making and the con-
tract price. He charged that under
the arrangement specified, the Cramp
company had received $17, 1000, as the
difference between the cost of making
the gun carriages and the contract
price, and the Maxim N rdenfeldt Co.
had received $24OO each for guns which
were made by government employees,
at a cost Of 81, 900 each, thus pocketing
a profit Of 81, 400 on each gun, without
engaging in the work of making them.
Senator Kyle was directed to person
ally investigate these charges.

which greeted the eloquent speaker

who by special request filled the pull

were displayed by the doctor and he
held his audience in a trance of wonder
d delight for more than two hours
notwithstanding the length of his dis.
course, the unanimous expression Of
his audience was, "I am sorry he has
stopped"
The phenomena of Spiritualism was
explained satisfactorily to the most OBJ
fuse minds, in accordance with natural
law. The doctor exercised the broad
est charity toward the S%piritualists in
his discourse of the subject and stated
that he was guided in his investiga-
tions and discussions wholly by the
loYe of truth, which should be the guild
ing star of every true and noble man il
dealing with any subject. He said he
