The more one thinks about wireless
telegraphy the more amazing 1t seems,
BY Marconi's method. messages are
sent over, or through. mountain
ranges; and the curving segment Of
the earth, covered by the ocean, does
not prevent communication between
ships sixty miles apart. Still more
marvellous is 1t that simultaneous mes
sages can be transmitted by ''tun-
Ding" the instruments SO as to produce
a difference in the vibrations; but 1t
has long been known that countless
waves of light and sound can pass
and repass, crossing eacn other In
every conceivable direction, without
the least interference.

1t is pleasant to record the fact that
Che consular service is gradually work.
ing out of politics, that more and more
fitness is considered in the original
choice of consuls, that efficient men
are promoted from less important to
more important stations, and that the
effects of the improved system in adj
vancing American trade are so marked
that the new way is approved by all
who study the subject. The c%leverness
of some consuls in getting at the facts
wnicu will enable American manufac-
turers and merchants to compete in
foreign markets is much more pleas
ing to Americans than 1t is to those
whom they are supplanting in trade

Engineers Of the cableship engaged
in repairing the cable from Galveston
to the Mexican coast found that the
cable was destroyed by a submarine
earthquake and the, catastrophe at Gal
weston may have been due to the
same cause. The destruction of deep.
sea cables by earthquakes is so COM
mon that 1t attracts little attention
nowadays. In the East Indian archi-
Ipelago submarine earthquakes are 80
common that they are reckoned among
the chief causes o. the destruction Of

A novel still for the making OF
moonshine whisky was recently dis
covered in the mountains Of Maryland.
1t was concealed in an oven standing
out in plain view in a yard, and from
the boldness of Its position had long
gone undecided. Inside the oven
was a movable copper still, which
could be taken out in times of peril,
otherwise all suspicious could be al
layed by in%nocently using the oven to
bake bread.

One Sunday evening a rough-cast
man rose in the Reform Club meeting
and said: II believe in owning up.
When l get into trouble by making a
fool of myself, Or by letting somebody
else lead me out of the way, I amt
goin' to shirk the blame. I am goin'
to take my own load on my W shoul-
ders. I shall just speak up and say,
I, Bill Pike, did that!'" There's an
example, as well as a rebuke, for sew
eral kinds of whimpering sinners, in
high places and in low.

In the Senate,

A SAS
Washington. Feb. T. Two impor-
tant measures were disposed of by the
senate yesterday, the military acad-
envy appropriation bill and war revenu
reduction measure. The former was
under consideration less than an hour.
The only change made in it was the
Strengthening of the provision against
hazing at West Point.
During the remainder of the after
noon session the war revenue reduc-
ton bill was before the senate. A de-
termined but unsuccessful effort was
made to reduce the tax on bank
checks and to provide that telegraph
and express companies should bear
the burden of the tax on messages
and packages sent. The finance COM
mittee's amendment levying a tax on
transactions in so-called "bucket
Shops" modifying the tax upon cigars
and cigarettes, and providing for a
rebate on unbroken packages of to-
bacco, in addition to several others of
a minor character, were adopted. An
amendment substituting an income tax
for the war revenue measure, offered
by Mr.. Morgan of Alabama, was re-
jected by a party vote of 81 to IS. The
bill then passed without division.
In the House.
Debate on the p%ostoffice %appropria-
ton bill consumed another day in the
house. About two hours were occu-
pied by Chairman Loud of the postof-
flee committee, who was a member of
the postal commission, in the discus
sion of the subjects investigated by it..
The remainder Of the time was occu-,
pied in debate upon the three subjects.
pneumatic tube, special mail facilities
and railway mail pay. It was agreed
before adjournment that the debate
should close to-day at 1880 p. M.
when the votes should be taken upon
the several amendments which are
pending.

Grafton of the appropriation bills. This

ested in the were present n

tention yesterday, the greater part OF
the time Of the senate being given
to listening to a speech of Mr.. Bacon
(Ga.) on the right Of the senate to de-
mand information on file in the execu-
tive departments. Secretary Longs

wards caused a brisk discussion in
which senators upheld their course in
this matter.

priation bill. appropriating $4,000. 900,

%sideration. The ship subsidy bill was
then taken up and Messrs. McLaurin
and Morgan, both Democrats, made
speeches upon it. Mr.. McLaurin an
nounced his intention to support the
bill and Mr.. Morgan opposed it in
vigorous language. He asked Mr.. ALI

Washington, Feb. 0.-An 1nefIectual
effort was made in the senate ycster-
day to secure an agreement upon a
time for a final vote upon the shipping
bill. Vigorous protests were made by
opponents of the measure against n
such agreement, even for a date in the
indefinite future. Mr.. Pritchard Of
North Carolina spoke in support OF
the shipping bill and then the naval
appropriation bill was considered the
rest Of the day, he shipping bill be-
ing laid aside informally. The naval
bill had not been acted on when the
senate adjourned
In the House.
Yesterday was probably the last day
to be devoted to private pension legis-
lation by the house of representatives
in this congress-. High water mark,
made in the Fifty-first congress, was
almost touched yesterday when 1874
bills were passed against 1917 passed at
a single session In the former con-
gress. In all the house at this session
Of congress has passed about 900 bills,
a number considerably exceeded in the
Fifty-f1rst. A general pension bill was
passed to restore to the pension rolls
widows Of soldiers Of the rebellion who
subsequently married and became
widowed or divorced. BY the terms
of the bill, however, its benefits are
limited to widows of soldiers who were
married before the close of the rebel
rion and who are now dependent upon
their own labor for support.
In the House.
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE c%onsidera-
ton of the diplomatic and consular APP
preparation bill in the house Saturday
developed something of a sensation
when Representative Brown Of Ohio,
standing in the center of the Repub-
lican side of the chamber, made a
speech strongly condemning a colonial
policy and urging that congress should
at once give assurances to the Filipinos
that the purpose of the United States
was to give them independence. His
announcement that he would advo-
cate a resolution to this effect was
loudly %applauded, particularly on the
Democratic side, and at the close of
the speech many of his Republican as
sociates crowded about him and con-
graduated him. Representative Miers
of Indiana and Dinsmore Of Arkansas
also spoke on the Philippines.
In the Senate.
During almost the entire session the
senate had under consideration the
naval appropriation bill. Practically
the bill was completed when it was
laid aside for the day, all the COM
mittee amendments being adopted,
but as the measure was about to be
placed on it's passage Mr.. Butler CT
North Carolina precipitated a discus
sion of the armor plate question. In
order to enable some others to speak
upon the matter the bill was laid aside
until Monday. Eulogies upon the late
Representative Alfred c. Harmer Of
Pennsylvania concluded the session.
