THE DATE IS FIXED T0K MAY Mr. Golllnger's lllll Regarding I so of I'nbllc .Moneys Is Laid on the Turtle-Personal Encounters in the House-Other Topics. 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. VARIOUS NOTES. The president today sent to the senate the nomination of W. H. Kile to be postmaster at Carubrldgeboro, Craw ford county. Pa.

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 WAVERLY, Miles W.

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. MISSSMITH'SSINGULAKCLAm Seeks Pontages Itecniiso a Man Hied lie fore Ho Could Marry Her. St. Paul. Murch 25. Miss Kitty V.
