A. They are merely play

misrepresentation to fool the
people and get back into
power. They have not yet
learned that they can not fool
all the people all the time.

THE NEW MOTIVE POWER.

Chicago Record.
The most extra ordinary
exhibit ever given in Wash
ington was witnessed at the
Arlington Hotel last night
by the scientific circle of this
city, members OF the Cabinet,
Supreme Court, diplomatic
corps ana other public men.
1t was given under the au-
spices of the National Geo.

over by Prof. Bell, theihvent

Chas. E. TTlpler, of New York,

which he has discovered and

and it's uses appears in Nc
Clure's Magazine for March
and a more Ella borate account

Briefly and simply stated,
Mr.. Tripler takes 800 gallons
OF ordinary air drawn from

one gallon of a liquid that
looks like glycerine and re-
tains it's form at a tempera-
ture Of 312 below zero, AS it
warns it expands into vapor
and then into air, just as wa

by heat. BY controlling the
expansion, Mr.. Trpler pro,
poses to furnish a new motive

on land, for factories, furna'

railway locomotive or a
steamship will therefore ere
ate its own power from the
air az it passes along it's way,
and n factory engineer viii,
simply turn the key of a ven
tilation pipe, start his ma
chine and manufacture fuel
as he needs it. Mr.. Tripler
insists that this energy can
be used with no more difficul
tv and at a cost 70 per cent
less than steam, and, having
mastered the secret of it's
production, he now proposes
to apply it to practical uses.
Mr.. Tripler brought six gal
Ions of liquid air with him
from New York, and in the
presence of five or six hun
dred persons performed the
experiments that are describ
ed in McClure's Magazine.
He dipped the stuff out of
his can with a ordinary tin
dipper, just as a milkman
would dip milk. He dropped
a potato INTO it, lifted it out
in two or three minutes and
threw it on the floor, where
it broke into a thousand ut
tie crystals. He took a rub
her ball, immersed it in the
liquid and then broke it rs il
it was glass. He dropped a
piece of beefSteak, and in a
moment it was broken into
little fragments that looked
like petrified wood. He i'm
mersed a tumbler of alcohol
and in a few minutes it WAS
frozen into a block of ice. HI
filed a paste5oard box with
mercury, which, when in
mersed in the liquid, air b'
came as hard AS steel, and hi
used it as a hammer to drive
nails into the table. He il
serted copper. tin, iron anc
strips of steel IN the llqul(

the expansive power of TIN
liquid in a similar manner
and altogether performed e.
periments that were notonl,

white man has more sense

and inherently understands

FORTY-THIRD INFANTRY.
A Large Part of the Regiment Take
French Leave.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-A special to
the Press" from Burlington. VT, says:
Officers of the FOrty-third Infantry
at Fort Ethan Allen, We're perturbe1
this morning when they found that a
large part of the regiment had taken
French leave" The men were paid
off yesterday, and those contemplating
desertion were waiting for the money.
The officers, admit that 120 privates
and commissioned officers ran
away last night, and the number that
deserted in the last four weeks will
swell the list to 2O0 Probably twenty
or thirty will return and report Ger
duty before the regiment starts FOR New
York to embark on the transport
Meade on Monday.
Last night many of the soldiers visit
ed the clothing stores in this city and
bought civilian clothing. They went
down to the wharf and discarded their
uniforms, throwing them behind lum-
Der piles and into the lake. Twelve uni
forms were found this morning behind
the railroad station, sand fifteen were
found on the wharf.
NO steps have been taken by Colonel
Murray to recapture the deserters The
regiment will start for the philippines
next week as though nothing unusual
had happened.

evening, met with an enthusiastic re-

Sir Robert Maxwell, who presided,
made cordial reference to the friend

In the course of a. speech proposing
the toast to literature, Mr. Choate said ::
Truly your country and mine are

they are at this very hour 1 can as
sure you that Lord Salisbury's generous
and cordial words at the Lord MAYORS
banquet yesterday will meet with a
quick and hearty response beyond the

1T has been said by a great poet
that Peace hath her victories. not less
renowned than war; and this ironclad
friendship which now prevails between
these two kindred nations is her latest
and greatest victory. 1t means not
merely between your country and mine,
but among all great nations of the
earth, and it tends by advancing civil
ization to promote the welfare Of the
whole human race"
The remainder of the address was de-
voted to a humorous comparison be-

as Illustrated in everyday life, and to an
eulogy of Sir Walter Scott.

Matters Discussed at Yesterdays
Three-Hour Session.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-The Cabi-

to-day. After the adjournment two
of the Cabinet officers said that the
queAion of a Civil Governor for Cuba
had not been raised. There were some
exchanges of opinion upon the result Of
the elections all the members regard
ing the result as. an Endorsement of the
Administration policy.
1t was decided to establish a domes-
tic postal service in the Philippines, as
it has been established in Porto Rico
and Cuba, and Postmaster General
Smith again brought up the question of
the postal union He is investigating
the subject thoroughly, and will report
a a later Cabinet meeting.
The question of the purchase OF
United States bonds by the Govern
ment was under discussion. Secretary
Gage explained the situation fully and
it now appears to be settled that no
purchases will be made for the pres
ent at least Although the Secretary
has not expressed his views on the sub
ject for publication, it is known that
he, with other Treasury officials, are
considering the question of refunuing
the tours and fives into long term bonds
bearing per cent. interest. This ac-
ton would necessitate Congressional
authorization, but whether the Secre-
tary will recommend such action is not
known.

United In the County.

COVELO, Nov. 10-Additional partic-
ulars of the robbery at Usal show it
to have been one of the most successful
and daring ever committed in the
county.
Freitag, the victim, tried to stand OFF
the leader with $200 from the drawer,
but the robbers ordered him to bring
forth trunk from which 800 were
taken. Five minutes after their de-
parture the express company delivered
to Freitag a sack containing $780,
Freitag states that he will give $1,000
for the arrest and convection of the
men.
The pursuit of the men by the Dep
uty Sheriff's posse is being vigorously
pushed
The robbery is asserted to have been
committed by two gamblers from Eure-

Officers Redwine and Stevenson, each
with a posse of men, are on the trail,
and if necessary Sheriff Smith will be
asked to send a posse from Ukiah. If
the men are not soon captured ex-
