Washington, March 2."i. A movement
In the direction of an enrly adjourn
ment of congresH was inude in the (sen
ate today by Mr. Piatt (Rep., Conn.),
who offered u resolution to lix the time
of linul adjournment for the second of
Muy next. In offering It Mr. Plutt re
marked that It was time to consider
the Hiiliject. The resolution tuok the
usual course. In reference to the com
mittee on appropriations. It will pnl
nbly lie not reported hack until all the
annual appropriation bills have passed
both houses. After the leRislutive ap
propriation bill, which has been before
the senute for the hist three days, shall
have been disimsed of there will be
only two others left for action by the
senute. These are the Indian and the
iiostotllee appropriation bills, another of
which Is likely to occupy more than
one day. Nearly all the discussion to
day was on the subject of chuntrinK the
fee system of I'nlted States district
attorneys and marshals to a salary sys
tem, the amounts proposed in the bill
being ussailed as extravagant by Sena
tors Allen (Pop., Neb.), and (leorge
(I Mil., Miss.) In ull cases, however,
the propositions for the higher amounts
were agreed to.
.A Joint resolution to amend the con
stitution by prohibiting congress and
state legislatures from using public
moneys in uid of any Institution con
trolled wholly or In part by any sec
tarian of religious association, was In
troduced by Air. (lalllnger (Hep., N.
II.,) and luid on the table for the pres
ent. IIOl'SR PROCEEDINOS.
There was a slight reminder of yes
terday's proceedings In the house to
day when Mr. Houtelle (Hep., Me.) ris
ing to personal explanation, stated that
the colloquy between himself and Mr.
Wheeler (liem., Ala.) regurding the at
titude of ex-confederutes toward the
bill to retire Cieneral Orant had been
changed, lie said it did him an injus
tice, for as printed It left Ills statement
resting upon nothing, where as, as It
actually occurred, li was based on the
record of the house.
Mr. Wheeler explained tlint he had
changed the copy in order to correct a
mistake In his statement, having been
denied an opportunity to make the cor
rection in ojien house In the course of
the debate, when he had discovered it
yesterday. The record wus ordered
corrected so as to accurately report
what had occurred.
Before this incident Mr. Hartlett
(Deni., N. Y.) as a matter of personal
privilege, denied, the truthfulness of
an Item In yesterday's Washington Post
stating that he hud furnished to Mr.
SuUer (Lcm., N. Y.) the copy of the
circular letter to his constituents writ
ten by Mr. Olbson (Rep., Tenn.) which
had formed the subject of the rather
amusing passage between thosf gentle
men In the course or the debute on the
liuyard resolutions of censiuv.
These jiersonal matters being out of
the way. the house addressed Itself, In
committee of the whole, to the consid
eration of the naval appropriation bill.
All of It, save the paragraph providing
for new ships, wns disposed of by the
committee, with a single amendment,
appropriating Jtiii.non for building the
quay and wing walls or the Brooklyn
dry docks. The only Incident of Inter
est In the discussion was tiie renewal
of the old fight to transfer the naval ob
servatory from the Jurisdiction of the
navy department, introduced by Mr.
Cnnnon ( Kep., ill.) Tliere wus a rather
warm exchange of sarcastic compli
ments between Mr. Cannon and Messrs.
Houtelle and Robinson (Ken.. t-u.) on
the subject, but nothing was done with
the matter.
CPBAN CONFEREES.
After a session of three quarters of nn
hour this afternoon the conferees on
the Cuban resolutions adjourned until
tomorrow without reaching a conclu
sion. The drift or the discussion
showed, however, that there was a llrm
Intention mi the part of the commit
tee to reonrt resolutions that would
meet the approval of both houses. There
upiieared to be u more favorable feel
ing toward the senate resolutions this
afternoon. It having been made plain
to the managers on the part of the
house that the house resolutions could
not pass the senate. It Is believed that
Ultimately the house will accept the
senate resolutions. The conferees hope
to settle the matter finally tomorrow.

FAT E OF THE' RESOLUTION'S.
House Managers 'May Yet Agree to the
Senate' Cuban Programme
Washington, March 85. When tike
matter of accepting the senate resolu
tion was being discussed by the confer
ence committee today, one member of
the committee took the ground .that
this government had no right to ask
another government to recognize the
Independence of one of Its colonies,
which was In Insurrection and It was
Insisted that this would be a causus
belli. In unswer to this It was shown
that when the Cubans were in Insur
rectllon before, our minister to Spain,
General Daniel Sickels, was Instructed
to exercise his good oHices to secure
such a recognition at the bands of
Spain, and that at that time, Spulu
took no offense ut the action.
All things considered there appeurs
to be a desire to accept the senate
resolutions, and If this is done there
Is no doub; but that tho house would
ugree to such a report.
The condition of affairs In the senate
was discussed tUis afternoon very
frankly. It was made plain thut there
was a small, but determined minority,
headed by Senator Hule -that did not
propose to permit the Cuban resolu
tions to ever come to a vote If they
could prevent It. In fact the commit
tee on foreign relations had been
warned that a quiet but effective sys
tem of lllllnisteiinf; had been Inaugu
rated with a view to preventing a
vote on the question In the senate.
Kor this reason the house conferees
were urged to accept the senate resolu
tions, which would remove the debate
from the senate to the house, where
filibustering could not, under the rules,
be engaged In. It Is believed to be the
most probable outcome of the confer
ence, and It would not surprise the
members of the house tomorrow If the
house managers recede from the house
resolutions und accept these originally
passed by the senate

CONFIDENCE IX THE SCHEME
Lloctrlo Waves Aro to Do Propagated
Which May Attract tho Atteo- .
tiun of Dwellers im
Planctaiy space.
New York, March 25. Nicola Tesla,
the electrician and scientist, has had in
course of development for some time a
project for Instantaneous communica
tion to all narts of the earth and per
haps some of the nearer planets. He
said today: "I have had this scheme
under consideration for five or six
years; It is based upon scientific princi
ples and thoroughly practicable.
"We know that electric disturbances
on the sun are productive of similar dis
turbance on the earth In the form of
thunder showers. Now, why Is It not
equally conceivable that u disturbance
on the earth's surface. In hope of at
tracting the attention of the dwellers
on Mars, should produce some tangible
effect on other planets. The transmis
sion of disturbances on the sun shows
beyond doubt that waves of electricity
are propagated through all space.
HOW IT WILL BE DONE.
"The success of the experiment." con
tinued Mr. Tesla, "is wholly through
the electricity waves, which are propa
gated through the atmosphere and the
ether, beyond. Hut If there are Intelli
gent Inhabitants of Mars or any other
planet It seems to me that we can do
something to attract their attention.
It Is possible to operate a motor or an
electric lirlit with a single line of wire
leading to the apparatus. It naturally
occurred to me, that as the earth Is a
conductor, nn electrical disturbance at
one point, causing a change in the equi
librium of the earth's electricity, should
be felt at all points on the earth's sur
face and might be recorded by properly
constructed instruments.
"The possibilities of such a transmis
sion of intelligence cannot be exagger
ated. Every city on the globe could be
on an immense ticker circuit, and a
message sent from New York would be
in England In an instant."
lOET MADE HIS OWN COFFIN.
Benjamin Hathaway Prepared for Death
In an I'nusual Manner.
Marcellus, Mich., March 25. Benja
min Hathaway, the former poet of Lit
tle Prairie Ilonde. who died last Satur
day of a mysterious disease, left In
structions that a post mortem be held,
ami requested that there be no hearse
at his funeral and very little ceremony.
Huthaway made his own coffin. Years
ago he planted a chestnut tree. Not
long ago he felled the tree, sawed It up
and made the box Into which, by his
own request, he will be placed tomor
row. The poet's best known works are
"Finished Creation," "Art, Life and
Other Poems," and "The League of the
Iroquois." There was a touch of na
ture about everything he wrote. Ho
owned what was called the "prize farm
of Cuss county," and had passed there
most of the seventy-three years of his
life. The farm itself was a poem.
Every nook and corner had Its trees
and ilowers.
