AMIcrobe Proof House.

The oldest domlcile on earth IL that
recently erected at Yokohama by an
eminent German bacteriologlst II is
a microbe-proof house, built OF glass
blocks. There are no window sashes,
and the doors, when closed, are air
tight. The air supply 10 forced into
the room through a pipe aud filtered
through cotton wool to cleanse 1t OF
bacteria. TO insure further sterlliza-
ton the air is driven against a glycer-
ine-coated plate glass, which captures
all the microbes the wool spares. The
few microbes brought into the house
in the clothes of visitors soon die In
the warm sunlight with which the
house Is flooded.

Ice Explosions.

A traveller in Siberia relates an ex-
traordinary occurrence among the
frozen regions Of that country. In the
intensely cold nights, he writes in
Good Works, the silence was some
times broken by loud report as of
cannon. This was the bursting of one
Of the ice bubbles on a river; a phe-
nomenon 1 had neither heard nor read
Of before.
The streams coming down the hills
were frozen on the surface some six
to nine inches thick. The water be-
meath flowed faster than it could es-
cape, and the pressure on the principle
of hydraulic press became irresistible.
First the elasticity of the ice was seen
by the rising of circular mounds some
six to eight feet in diameter, and from
four to five feet high. The bursting
point came at last with a report like
an explosion. The water escaped, but
soon froze again. have seen scores

United States Consul Boyle at Liv-

department, Washington, some very
interesting information respecting the
great change that has taken place in
England in the matter Of street rail
ways. He describes this movement
as one feature of the remarkable 'Fmu-
nicipal socialism" which is taking
possession of British cities, verifying
the comment of Lord Rosebery that
the London common council was con-
Quoting the greatest experiment in
practical socialism the world had ever

ownership of street railroads, electric
and gas lighting plants, rwa.er supply

municipal corporations built dwellings
for workingmen, ran hotels and oper-
ated magnificent baths. Recurring to
the subject OF electric street railways,

WHEELER KEEPS HIS SEAT.
HOUSE REFUSES TO CONSIDER THE
"VACATING" RESOLUTION.
VOTE WAS TRIBUTE TO GENERAL.
A Great Scramble In the House For
the Consideration OF Unanimous
Consent Bills.

A Washington special says: At
Thursdays session the house refused,
by large majority, to consider the
report Of the judiciary committee, I'M
seating General Wheeler and his three
colleagues. 1t was a striking tribute
to the great little general, for it was
his popularity that caused his associ-
ates in the house to refuse to take up
the case.
Of course they had the best kind Of
excuse for declining, because of the
shortness of time remaining; but in
reality the reason they did it was be.
cause of their friendly feeling for
Wheeler. The report of the commit
tee, however, established as we'll as
report could the law in the case and it
will be precedent for the future.
The political division upon the vote
was significant. The vote stood II
ayes cast by 81 republicans, 43 demo-
Gratis and ID populists and LAG nays,
cast by 101 republicans, A democrats
and populist.
A half a million dollars each was
appropriated under suspension of the
rules for the pan-American exposition
at Buffalo and Ohio Centennial at
Toledo.
The senate bill carrying 81, 1000, coo
for a new building for the department
OF justice was passed,
A number of conference reports on
minor bills were adopted.
There was a great scramble for I'M
animous consent legislation when the
house met at II o'clock. With the end
of the congress only forty-eight hours
off almost every member had some To-
cal measure he was trying to sescure
from death on the calendar and they
stood in the area in front of the speak
er's rostrum ten deep clamoring for
recognition.
A number of bills were passed,
among them a series authorizing vari-
GUS officers of the government to &C
cept decorations from foreign govern
ments.

1t is becoming more and more prob
able that the British invasion Of the
Soudan will open up a large aud fer
tile region to the cultivation Of Egyp-
tian cotton, and this article is soon to
be grown in India on larger scale

are looked for in England. How far

Samoa shows signs of progressing
toward civilization. The old method
of electing kings by the club and spear
seems to have been abandoned in favor
of the more intricate and less bloody
arbitrament of the ballot box and the
courts. Certain chiefs, it is related,
have elected Mataafa king of the is
lands, while other chiefs have elected
Tamasese. The Mataafaites appear
to be in the possession of the election
machinery, for the Tamasese crowd
has protested and has filed a caveat
before the chief justice, who will de-
eide the dispute. The chief justice
is an American citizen, aud soon the
unique spectacle will be presented of
a representative of the greatest re-
public in the world umpiring a king
contest.

A dispath from Santiago says: Be-
tween 1000 and 5000 men have been
suddenly thrown out of work in the
province Of Santiago and over ZOO in
the immediate neighborhood of the
city. Although Governor General
Brooke has wired $4,000, required
for the February payrolls, there is still
a deficit Of nearly $4,000, and the
orders from Havana still hold good
limiting the expenditure during the
month of March for the entire province
to 5000 The effect Of this order
is simply paralyzing.

A report on the work of the Agricul-
tural Experiment stations for the fiscal
year 1898, has been forwarded to Con-
gress by the secretary Of agriculture.
According to the report the stations
have, as rule, steadily pursued their
investigations, have accomplished
much useful work and have increased
their facilities for Investigations. This
has been partly owing to an increase
in the number of officials competent
to undertake such investigations. AS
a result, there has been a gain in the
importance and thoroughness of the
original inquiries pursued. Arrange
ments are being made to have in the
future more practical application Of
the results Of Investigations made so
that farmers can be taught to make
the best use of discoveries. Aid from
the states is found to be necessary
for this work, and, as a matter of fact,
much encouragement has been afford
ed by the iberality displayed by the
states.

An EXTRA SESSION AVOIDED
SENATE ARMY BILL PASSED IN
HOUSE BY BIG MAJORITY.
ADMIRAL DEWEY GETS PROMOTION
south's War Claims Measure Is Accepted.
States VIII Got Many Thou
sands Thereby.

A Washington special says: The
last lingering possibility of an extra
session OF congress disappeared We'd
nesday when the house passed the
senate army reorganization bill.
Very considerable and vigorous OPP
position to the acceptance of the sem
ate bill was voted on both sides of the
hall and for time it appeared posi-
bic that the bill would not secure the
necessary two-thirds to pass it under
suspension Of the rules.
But the republican leaders, Messrs,
Henderson, Grosvenor and Cannon,
came to its support on the republican
side and Mr.. Bailey, the democratic
leader, threw the weight of his inhu-
ence in favor of the bill on the demo-
cratic side, arguing thati provided for
only temporary increase Of the army
which would be made permanent If
congress were convened in extra SEES
sion.
Another big element in the vote was
Mr.. Hull's recital of a statement made
by the president to him that he would
not construe section IL as authority to
conscript the minority in volunteer or
CARNATIONS which should elect 20 re-
main in the service.
The bill passed, 202 to 80, and it
now goes to the president
The decks were also cleared of many
other important matters. The general
deficiency bill, carrying $21, 900, 900,
was passed under suspension of rules
without word of criticism. This is
the last of the appropriation bills.
The senate amendments to the river
and harbor bill were non-concurred in
and it was sent to conference, the
friends of the Nicaragua canal amend
ment having decided to postpone their
fight until the conference report.
The conference report of the omni-
bus bill, the naval personnel and many
other less important measures were
agreed to.
Dewey Is Given Promotion.
The senate bill making Dewey full
admiral was passed. The bill now
goes to the president for his signature.
There was considerable excitement
on the floor before the assembling of
the house at II o'clock in anticipation
of a desperate fight upon the Nicaragua
canal amendment to the river and har-
Dor bill. Immediately after the read
ing of the journal the senate amend
ments to the sundry civil bill were
non-concurred in and the bill was
sent to conference.
Mr.. Mahon, republican, of Pennsyl.
vania, chairman of the committee or
war claims, presented the conference
report upon the bill to pay certain
judgments of the court of claims, under
the Bowman and Tucker acts. AS i
passed the house the bill carried
81, 1870, 900. The senate placed upor
it what is known as the omnibus bill
increasing it to $1,000, 1000. Ovel
81, 900, 900 of the increase were Bow
man and Tucker act claims, 81 ,O55,
900 were French spoilation claims anC
1882, 900 were miscellaneous claims
The conference report reduced thu
total carried by the bill to So, 100000
The southern war claims, which
carry in them from 5000, 900 to $500,
600 for each of the southern states
was passed.
