The most scathing Indictment of the
money power in politics during. the re-
cent presidential campaign came from
the pen Of Richard Olney when he an
nounced his preference for the Bryan

many who regarded his utteraDce as
extreme. Yet the Justification Of his
Indictment may now be based upon the
single fact of the triumphant return of
Mr.. Quay of Pennsylvania to the Unit

Possibility Of Wireless TeIegraphy.
Much interest is being displayed, par
ticularly in Italy, in wireless teleg-
raphy, and some recent experiments by
Signor Guarini have shown that the or
dinary telephone receiver can be used
in certain cases to receive wireless tel
egraph messages, which it interprets
as singing sounds. His experiments
seem to point to the possibility of de-
yising simple and strong military in
struments Of this type that may be
carried in a rough country without
much danger Of being put out of order,
or broken From present indications it
seems as IL these simple instruments
might be made to work satisfactorily
for from ten to twenty miles.

SUBSIDY GRAB SET BACK.

Senator Hanna and his ship subsidy
grab received another hard jolt Tues
day For the second time since il was
taken up for consideration in Decem-
ber it has been rudely and effectively
displaced from its commanding posi-
ton as the unfinished business Of the
Senate. Mr.. Hanna was on hand to
see the grab kicked about the chamber
like football and be hadn't word to
say IN protest. Senator Frye. know
ing what was coming. had convenient
ly absented himself. Thus he was not
forced into the position of having to
yield or refusing TO yield.
The grab, says Washington CORE
spOndent. was laid before the Senate
at l o'clock while the District of CO.
lumbia appropriation bill was being
considered. Senator Allison. however.
had no intention of permitting an i'm
portant appropria ton bill to be thrust
aside. Acting upon the authority vest

jolting them too severely by moving
that the ship subsidy bill be laid aside
temporarily. Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas promptly and emphatically object
ed to this course He said that the
effect of granting the request would
be to continue the ship subsidy bill as
the unfinished business and he did not
believe that this should be done in view
of the condition of the Senate busi-
ness. If the appropriation bills should
fail, their failure. he said, would be
due to keeping the ship subsidy bill
pending. and he thought that the coun-
try should understand this provision to
set aside everything else for that meas
ure. Senator Jones declared that there
were other subjects more important
than the ship subsidy grab that ought
to take precedence and informed the
Republicans that If an extra session
We're called it would not be called he
cause the Democrats had not given
them an opportunity to transact the
legitimate legislative business Of the
country. He wound up by objecting
to temporarily laying the ship subsidy
bill aside
Then Senator Allison reflected the
opposition to the actual Republican
leaders of the Senate in the methods
employed by the ship subsidy grab
lobby by exclaiming with determined
voice:
