be divided between the questions of fl

many sharp speeches. and to the final
adoption of the report by practically the
same vote by which the bill originally
passed the Senate. The matter may be
before the Senate for several days.
There will be sveral speeches during
the week on the Quay resolution and there

silion. Later in the week Senators Hoar
and Penrose will talk for Mr.. Quay and
Senator Burrows in opposition. After
these only short speeches will be heard.
Senator Penrose says he will make an ef-
fort to have the discussion confined to the
morning as not to interfere with other
questions! before the Senate. but that If
a disposition to delay the vote should be-
come apparent he will then press the Quay
matter. He counts on vote late in the
week and says he expects larger vote
than was cast in Mr.. Quay's favor In TAX
ing the resolution up. When the Hawaiian
bill is voted on the Porto Rican bill will
be taken up. Senator Depew. on Tuesday.

Coal Burned by Steamships.

The amount of oalconsumed by yes
sci during voyage depends very large
ly upon the speed, for the consumption
of coal increases almost in geometrical
ratio to the speed. There are many
ships which burn from 100 to 300 tons
of coal per day, the lowest consumption
being when the vessel is going at a
moderate rate. British men-of-war do
not consume so much in proportion as
swift passenger steamers which ply be-
tween Europe and America, for, unless
in an emergency, they are not driven at
the highest attainable speed. The
ocean steamers often burn from $500
to $500 tons during passage lasting
six to seven days.

1t has become the fashion among en-

of some moving object, generally actu-
ated by clockwork A distinctly novel
idea in this direction is that recently
adopted by certain American bicycle

in not only attracting attention to their

the perfection of their workmanship.
They show, in brief, how the wheel of
a cycle may be driven by horsepower.
The bicycle is either attached to a
frame or hung to the ceiling, so that the
front wheel is clear of the ground and
can run easily. just above the top of
this wheel and fixed to the steering
head of the machine is mouse cage

that the animal within has no room to
escape. The weight of the mouse is
sufficient to give the wheel an initial
movement, and the poor little creature

two mice in each cage, and one or the
other is generally doing work on the
