Electrical Discovery In Germany.

BERLIN. Jan. 31.--Professor A. Slaby
of the Berlin Technische eHochsschuleinl the
course of remarkable interview on ''Ihe
Coming Electrical Revolution" which is
to appear in the Forthcoming number of
n new technical periodical asserts that
his recant invention, multiplex wireless
tccgraphy, will produce a very great
Transformation in existing methods. 1t
will be possible, he declares. to apply the
principle to submarine cables in such
way as to send hundreds and even thou
sands of messages simultaneously on the
same wire, thus enormously cheapenins
rates. Professor Slaby believes that the
problem of direct production of electricity
from coal will be solved. Germany, he
predicts, will he the foremost nation OF
the twentieth century in technical produc'
tion and electricity will be the poor mans
source of power and light.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-The ship
ping bill was kept at the front in the
senate throughout yesterday. No appre-
ciabIc progress was made, most Of the
time being occupied by Mr.. Turley of
Tennessee and Mr. Jones of Arkansas in
speeches opposing the bill and severely
arraigning its alleged favoritsm. Mr..
Jones declared it should be entitled "a
bill to permit select cotere of shipown-
ers to loot the United States treasury"
After the speeches the formal reading of
the bill was completed. but the consider
alton Of amendments was not entered
upon.
Early III the day an unsuccessful effort
was made to secure agreement to the
conference report on the army reorgani-
cation bill.
The nntipolygamy crusade which re-
suited in driving Mr.. Roberts, Utalls rep.
rcsentatiye. from his seat at the last ses-
sion had an echo In the house during the
consideration of the agricultural appro-
priation bill. When the section making
the appropriations for agricultural col
legcs of the several states was reached,
Mr. Landis of Indiana offered an amend
mrnt providing that no money should be
paid to the college in Utah until the sec
rctary of agriculture was satisfied that no
trustee or teacher in the institution prac.
tced polygamy. The amendment came
as complete surprise. Mr.. King, who
succeeded Mr.. Roberts, tried in vain to
head it off with point of order and then
mveighed against il as simply an after
math of the Roberts crusade. He insist
ed that pclygamy was thing of the past.
Mr.. Lands replied by alleging that two
of the professors OF the Utah agricultural
college were polygamists and that one Of
the trustees had I wives and 80 children.
Upon this showing the house adopted the
amendment. whereupon Mr.. King retail
atcd by Offering IN amendment providing
that none of the money should 90 to agri-
cultural colleges in any stale whose in
structors or trustees have engaged in
lynching or been guilty of adultery or for

bill was reported to the house. the LanGis
amendment was stricken out by I. vote
