Said to Have Made Wonderful Battery.
A young student of electricity. who
lives near Eaton. Ohio, has succeeded
in Derfecting a battery that may revo-
lutionize industry. The battery. which
he has Just completed will give a
speedy current of IL volts per square
cell at about so amperes.
Unlike any other primary cell, it
keeps up a constant current until eX-
hausted. Eight quart cells will run d
2-horse power motor 10 hours at an eX-
pense of 10 cents. Ten cells will burn
u Empower candle lamps 10 hours
The cell differs from any other form in
that the exciting fluid is dropped into
the cell at the rate of one drop a min
ute while the battery remains in Use.
Its cheapness of maintenance and great
power will cause it's universal adop-
ton In power lines. Almost every
house and business place will have its
own lighting plant and power for run
ing sewing machines, fans. etc.
The highest voltage now obtained
from the best form, of primary battery
is nearly two volts to gallon CELL and
then only for few minutes, as the
current rapidly runs down.

CATTLE TRAFFIC HEAVY.

Movement of Live Stock C0mDen&.
ates for ~ of Grain Trade,
While there may be a decided falling
off in the transportation, of grain over
the Northern Pacific and Great North
ern throughout the Northwest, particu-
larly over: the eastern divisions of their
lines, other traffic is heavy, and will
partially. is not quite compensate for
the loss in receipts to the roads by the
shortage of the grain crop.
The shipment of live stock has been
especially heavy this fall, and both
roads have carried large numbers of
cattle. Out Of Montana there: have
gone 300 train loads of cattle over the
Great Northern alone, to Eastern mar
kets, since the opening Of the fall ship
ping season, which is now p~ractically:at
an end. This far surpasses any pre-
vious record of the road, and gives
foundation for the statement that the
freight returns of the system will. not
be materially damaged by the failure
Of the grain season. :.
In the large numbers of stock that
have gone out of Montana is included
great droves Of the ''long horn" spe-
cies. Nearly all Of this class have
been shipped to Eastern markets, and
It is estimated that by the time the
final shipment is made this year: there
will be none at all left. in that section
Of Montana from which the large ship
ments are being made.

Closed Doors, -.
+ Washington, Dec. ~. The senate
spent almost five hours in executive
session considering the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty. There We're five or six
speeches made, some Of them by sen,
ators who had not spoken hitherto
upon the treaty and others by senators
who had previously expressed them
selves. Among the, latter were !Sena-
tor tMorgan,iwho returned to his form
err speech" celebrating somewhat his
position as to the effect Of the Clay
ton-Bulwer treaty. He took issue with
Senator Teller as to the purport of the
first clause of that treaty, claiming
that it applied only to Great
Britain's right to fortify the Nicar-
aqua canal itself. Senator Teller re-
piled. at some length, asserting that
the provision vas of more general inn
portance, as, he said. any nj could
ascertain for himself by reading Pres
ident Buchanan's views upon the SUBJ
ject when he was minister to England.
The declaration then made showed;
plainly, he said. that England had at
tempted to extend her rights beyond
the immediate vicinity of the canal.
MI. Teller then proceeded to again
elaborate his views upon the general
subject, repeating his declaration that
the United States should construct the
canal If at all regardless of the Eng
lish position and without going
through the formality of ratifying the
pending treaty.. During the day
speeches were made by Senator's
Money, Stewart, Frye and others. :

Nine years ago, Joe Remington bru-

sum of money. On conviction he was
sentenced to life imprisonment. Now
al effort is being made to have him
%pardoned, and a petition to that effect

=, Washington, Dec. II. - Charles A.
Towne, appointed to succeed the late
senator C. K. Davis Of Minnesota, was
in attendance at the opening OF the
senate's session yesterday. Mr.. Mel
son of Minnesota at onc presented
the credentials of Mr.. Towne and they
were read.
Mr.. Chandler of New Hampshire,
chairman of the committee On priv
ileges and elections, called attention to
the last clause Of the credentials,
which was hat Mr.. Towne should hold
his seal until Ibis successor was elect
ed and qualified. He said the Constitu-
ton provided simply that the ap-
pointee should hold office until the
legislature had met. I'm the creden-
tials presented" said Mr.. Chandler,
"the governor has undertaken to pre-
scribe the length of the new senator's
term. The added clause of the Gre
desire simply to call attention to this
fact and have no intention to object
to the swearing in of MI. Towne."
The new senator was conducted to
the desk by Mr.. Nelson and the oath
Of Office was administered by Mr..
Frye, the president pro tenn.
The point made by Senator Chandler
may be brought up again after the
Minnesota legislature is in session.
The Constitution provides for appoint
ment only until the mex meeting of
the legislature. In case of the failure
of the legislature, through a deadlock
or otherwise, to elect a senator to fill
the vacancy, there might be some
question as to the right of Mr.. Towne
to vote and continue to act as senator.
No business of Importance was trans
acted in open session.

the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill, was passed by the

of Pennsylvania, who was in charge of

quired about. three. hours"for the clerk
