President Roosevelt attempted to

President Roosevelt attempted to into agreeing to accept the report of the court of inquiry, and not only failed butt had to promise that he would receive and consider Schlev's appeal from that report. This appeal will be prepared and presented in q few weeks, probably soon after Schley returns from his trip to the south. What action Mir Roosevelt will take on the appeal is not altogether cer- tain. He has got better idea of the sentiment of the country than he had better to sit down on member of his cabinet than to appear before the country as q sanctioner of the perse- cution of a brave officer. At any rate, if he joins i'll Schley's persecution he will erect an obstacle ill his own path to future political preferment that he can never get over. Although it is pretty well understood that Speaker Henderson will not allow any Schley bill or resolution to get before the house in way to be voted upol, q number of new ones have been iil- troduced, among them resolution ny General Hooker of Mississippi, tender ing the thanks of congress to Schley for his Santiago victory. General Hooker tried to get q promise from Speaker Henderson that his resolution should be voted upon, but failed. The order has been given that no legisla- ton affecting Schley shall be allowed to get to vote, which would mean speedy justice.

an seem to have produced consider able effect, Judging by the extent to which the Boer war is discussed in the Hobbies of the capitol, writes q Washington correspondent There IS no more ardent advocate of what he terms .'non-interference with the Boers" in congress, than Representa- tive William Sulzer of New York. Ill reply to a question as to why the United States should interfere in struggle which seemed to concern only England and the Boers he said yes terday: We ask for no interference by the United States. All we demand on behalf of people who have made the most heroic struggle for their free dom known in history is that this gov ernment shall refrain from interfer- ing. By one word the president or the United States can end the Boer war and that word would be merely an injunction to the secretary or state to enforce the neutrality laws In open violation of ti:e neutrality laws this country has persistently shipped to Africa, for the use of the British army, not only supplies but horses and mules in vast numbers. This violation was brought before the federal court of New Orleans and, be- cause of the influence that was brought to bear on him from Washing ton. the presiding judge threw the case out of court, pronouncing 1t an executive matter rather than one for the judiciary. That decision was contrary to the facts and the secretary of state dare not declare the reverse. The United States did not hesitate to interfere when it became incensed at the horrors of Weylerism in Cuba, and yet Kitcheners concentration pol icy in South Africa is, judging by the death rate alone, infinitely worse. We ask, not for interference, but for fair play. MT Roosevelt is an honest and fearless man. possessed of intense Americanism, and I believe that he will recognize the justice of our posi- tion, that he will instruct that the neu- trality laws be carried out to the let ter and that the Boers will gain the freedom for which they have strug- gled so nobly.''

Republican lullewarmness was about the most noticeable feature of the de bate which preceded the passage af the Nicaragua canal bill by the nation al house of representatives at Wash ington. They did not dare to come out squarely and oppose, the bill nor to 1ote against it when the vote was taken, but they talked platitudes, the best not to rush into the matter too fast and that we ought to do some dickering with the agent of the Pan anna Canal company, who arrived in Washington this week and submitted an offer to sell out for $40,000.000. This does not indicate speedy action on the bill by the senate, unless pub lie opinion makes things uncomfort- able for those senators who try to de lay action under a pretense of dick ering with the Panama agent. The less dickering there is with any of the Panama crowd, the less mud there will be upon senatorial regulations. One of the best of the numerous short speeches made ill the. house debate was that of Representative Richard son of Alabama, who said: 1.-The states of the south will be the greatest beneiciaries of the Nicaragua canal and none greater than the state of Alabama. It is an increased com merce and trade that the south wants Give us the Nicaragua canal and the share of the trade of the orient thai we are entitled to-. and twenty million bales of cotton raised in the soutl will not be a surplus, and , cent cot ton will become q memory of the past while 12 cent cotton will come to ou | farmers to stay.''

This week the national capital witnessed the first of this seasons evening levees at the white house. about two thousand persons received cards inviting them to be present, in- cluding the diplomatic corps at what is known as '.the diplomatic recep- tion," and which is the most brilliant entertainment of the year. The blue and east rooms of the white house were beautifully decorated with flow CTS, smilax and ferns, and presented q fitting background to the flashing uni forms and magnificent gowns of the guests. The British ambassador and Lady Pauncefote led the procession of diplomats, the former in full court uniform and wearing the galaxy of jeweled decorations which were be- slowed upon him by the late queen. Count Cassini, the Russian ambassa- dor, was resplendent ill uniform of blue velvet, edged with ermine. He is famous for his Chesterfieldian man. ners and after shaking hands with the president he bent low and kissed the hand Of Mrs Roosevelt. The count was accompanied by his adopted daughter. the Countess Marguerite r Cassini, who is one of the so-cal1ed beauties of Washington this season, and whose style was accentuated by gown of rich white satin so plainly made as to have appeared severe on a less striking woman. In addition to the cabinet and the senate, the minis try was well represented at the levee by the chaplains of the senate and the house, Bishops Hurst and Satterlee, 1 Doctor Schaick, Doctor Mackey. Smith. and M. Edouard Lampre was also present, having come with the members of the French embassy.

POWER OF A PINT OF WATER.

A single pint of water will burst d strongly built iron-hooped oaEen cask as quickly as though q dozen pounds of gunpowder was exploded within it. 1t is well known law of physics that pressure exerted by liquids increasing in proportion to their depths. Sup pose, therefore, that we have q strong cask filled with water and standing on end. The slaves of this oaslz nay be made to burst apart by adding a very small quantity of water to what is al ready in the cask
 As the cask is already full some way of adding the water must be devised. To do this hole is bored in the end or head of the cask and q long tube of small diameter is inserted upright. At the upper end of the tULe is q small funnel into which water is poured until the tube becomes full. and when that point is reached the cask will burst
 This seems almost incredible, but if is only a demonstration Of the law that has been cited. When thp watar IS poured into the tube it uniFes with the water in the caslS. an6 rbe depth of the water is several times as great as it was in the cask alone. The fact that there is only a small quantity of water i'll the tube makes no difference, for it is now all one body, and it's depth is gaueed from inc top of the tube to the bottom of inc cask.
 As a matter of fact this experiment is only an artificial reproduction of what We know takes place in nature Some of her greatest conyu1sions are caused by this very process. Sunpose for example that there is great mass of rock, under which there .s { cavity filled with water that has no outlet. Suppose, moreover. that there is q crack extending from thf surface of the ground through the mass of rock to the we'll filled cayit, underneath.
 A rock in this condition is a common thing in nature, the crack being cans ed by some disturbance of the earth or by it's splitting in the natural or der of things. Now when if rain. enough to fill that crack, thus in creasing the depth of the water in tn. cavity, the pressure will be torn int q hundred fragments.
