Harrison Will Net Hack His Scheme With a Message Fearing Ohie, President Harrison told Senater Ills cock, el Iho flnance committee, en Wed nesday that there was tie truth In the story that he had prepared or would prepare a tncssage te Congress indorsing Blaine's re ciprocity dcheine. He did net say, how hew how ever, that he would net send In a message indorsing his own reciprocity resolution, presented In the Senate by Pierce, of North Dakota. The president thinks he can get both the Republican senators anil the Re publican representatives te accept this. He confines It te free sugar. Blaine brings in free wool among ether possibilities which seem dreadful te the high piotectlen tnlud. The presldent appreciates the fact that his own unpopularity among senators gives Blalne's schome an advantage there, but he also knows that the Heuso, under Reed's rule, would kill it If It ever reached the Heuso. Blalne might have gotten his scheme adopted When he first proposed it te the ways and means Republicans If he had talked mero about stigarand less about wool, hut he said nothing of Cuba and l'orte Rice, and said a great deal of the Argentine Republic, aud be Incurred the opposition of Harrison, Reed aud McKIn ley, who feared for Ohie in 1S1C2. Reed de liberately sacrificed the interests of New England te his presidential aspirations. "The logic of reciprocity with the Span-lsh-American states as te sugar Is reci procity as te wool," said a prominent Re publican ropresontatlvo te-day. " What Mr. Blalne wants Is te get u free market In the Southern republics for the cotton manufacturers of New England In ex change for the free admission of thelr wool Inte this country. New England would iret the honetlt of both sides of this trade. The froe admission or wool would glve a free raw material te New England manu facturers as well as open the Spanlsh Spanlsh Amerlcan markets te the cotton manufac turers. It Is this mero than sugar that interests Mr. Blalne." An objection made te the Blalne pro pre gramme in its entirety Is that it designs admitting Australian wool froe into this ceuutry. That, the wool men in Ohie and clsowhero doclare, would completely do de do strey the wool industry ill this country, and wool, uulike sugar, has many friends in states nocessary te Republican success. The president, therofero, halts at wool. He reels, it is said, that the less of Ohie in me coming campaign weuia ue a mew from which his party would have difficulty in recovering lu time for the national cam paign In 1802, aud that any policy even squinting nt free wool would se result te the parly there he has assurances from many sources. In (act, the explanation new given of McKlnley's opposition te the Blaiue pro pre pro gramme is that he saw that it embodied Iree wool a pregramme upon which he, as an Ohie representative, could net afibrd te stand. A SPIRITUAL CONFERENCE. Objects of the Meeting te be Held en the College Campus. T. G. ,A., of Lancaster, writes te the Hefet tned Church Mascngt'r: Theso who have attended the previous conferences, osecially the ene last year, en the campus at Lancaster, need net te be urged te be present at the meeting this year.

The shady campus is as iilcasant as an)' place in the mountains or ty the sea-shore, and the associations and oxercisesaio.Miperlor te what can be round anywhere olse. The chapel is open for the mero public services, and one of the so ciety halls affords a cool and royal accom modation for the reading of the essay and debates from day te day. Outside, under tbedonse shadoef the trees the interven ing restrul hours will aireid time ler con versation, amusement, and whatever may be desired in the way of enjoyment. The conference is in no sonse a party af fair. The pregramme abundantly shows that. One or its objects, indeed, is le bring together brethren or different views and tendencies, and te show that we no longer rocegnlzo party lines among brethren. Such a meeting is sufilclcnt le build one up Ter the year's work. It Is better than a synod for such purHjse, because entirely froe from business routine It Is mi 111 111 eieiitly intellectual te revive the powers of the mind.

A L1VELT ELECTRIC CANE. Uew tf Anct Rebbr The Phonescope Likely te Ciiupe Trouble, In Families. l'rem the Londen Herald. The eleutria eane Is a really beneficent Invention. It consists of a cane, lu the interior of which is stored a larg quantity of electricity. Until a spring In the hanilfe is pressed the cane is as harmless as any ether cane, but If this spring Is pressed aud uv uiu n;,uit umiiuuiit umuu in tuui-uuii with the rondo or the cane he receives a shock that will stint him rer the next tweuty minutes without doing him any permanent harm. The same apparatus Is also placed lu the handles or umbrellas mid or ladles parasols. With this in vention a man can protect blmself net only from assault but from casual beres. A rebber demands your purse as you are walking home at night. Yeu simply touch him, accidentally, an it were, with Iho end of the cane, and thou proceed slowly and peacefully en your way, loav leav Ing him stretched en the pavoment. Or a bore buttonholes you, ignorant that you carry an olectrle umbrella. Presently the bore drops Irisenslble en the pavement, and you leave him te the curious Inspec tion of the public, knowing that prosently a policeman will appear te arrest lilin en a charge or drunkonness or apeplexy. The name of the inventor of this Inostltnable weapon Is net et known, but 1m Is sure le reap the gratltude of every Intelllgeut man aud woman lu civlll.ed lands. The Inventor or the new electrical ma chine, the phot.nscepo, will be regarded by many persons as a benefactor of the humim race, but It Is reasonably certain that lu time the phonescopo will create a wlde do de uiniid Ter his bleed. Every ene Is familiar wllh the result which fellows the accidental contact of telephone wlres. Yeu under take te talk with your confidential friend by means or the tclopheno, but, the wires being croi-sed, you preently find that you pre unboi-emlng yourself ten total stranger. A similar result will undoubtedly fellow the crossing et the wlres of the phonescope. Yeu are, let us say, at your office, and wisli te call up Iho Image or your wire. Yeu put the phonescope In operation, but Instead or your wife you beheld unother man's wife, who llltle dreams that some ene, miles away. Is watching 'overy ex pression of her face. Or you are convers ing, strictly en busluess, with a lady client and, owing te the crossing or the phonescopo wires, a dozeu poeplo In dir dir ferent parts or the city aw staring at you.
