There will no exposed wires. A test made in Sew York was eminently successful. It is the first notable invention of a colored man in electrical engineering. A highly valuable contribution to the literature of the labor question in Chicago is that of Inspector Schaack, who holds that most of the applicants for food and shelter at police stations are "professional tramps and bums." The evidence upon which he bases this opinion is that when he went into a room where eight of the homeless and hungry ones were congregated and told them that war had been declared against Chili and called for volunteers one man only responded. If the Inspector would discover how hasty he was drawing from Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, (republican) caused a sensation by delivering a carefully prepared speech from manuscript, in which he arraigned the president, denouncing in strong language the work of the executive in opposition to free coinage of silver.

The senate finally refused to strike out the provision in the army appropriation bill for the assignment of army officers as Indian agents. Senator Perkins made a speech and voted for rtriking it out. Senator Peffer voted against striking it out-Senator Perkins secured the passage of an amendment making an appropriation- of $20,000 to repair the damage sustained by the Haskell institute (Lawrence) in the recent storm. In the house Mr. Otis, of hansas, offered an amendment to the free wool bill and spoke to it.

The first section of the bill placing wool on the free list, he said, insulted the wool grower, and section two proposed to rob his pockets. "If there is one provision of the McKinley bill which directly benefits and protects the farmer, it is that which places a tariff on wool, and here you propose to deprive him of even that This and other amendments were diecussed and voted down. The house finally adopted a resolution requesting the committee on judiciary to report back the resolution providing for investigation of the Pinkerton detective agency.

This was opposed by Harris, Vest and Peffer; the latter saying that when the people of the district had invited the national encampment, it had promised, by bid, to entertain them, and were not authorized to say that the people of the whole nation would pay the bill. The matter went over without Rats' heads are said to he the latest fashionable ornaments worn in London. This may justly rouse the ire of terriers.

The mean temperature in Sew York has gradually become higher in the last few years, and this when the summers have oeen cooler than for many years. Sergeant Dunn's theory is that irrigation in the "West has driven storms to the Sorth, where they break across Canada and toward the St. Lawrence Gulf. This causes the air currents to come from the South to supply that displaced bv the rush of the storm, and produces a milder climate in the Sorthern States. By the same reasoning he finds that these warm currents from the South leave a partial vacuum there which is supplied by the rush of cold air from the Sorth-west, carrying many storms into Kansas, Arkansas, and even Texas and A bill was introduced for Mr.
