Washington, April 6. The resolution
of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, declar
ing that a state of war exists in Cuba,
was taken np by the senate- today, and
Morgan addressed the senate in favor of
the resolution.
An exciting debate between Morgan
. and Hale occurred during-Morgan's
speech. Hale denied Morgan's state
ment that the . Spanish prisons were
stuffed with Americans. Morgan asked
' Hale where his information come from,
, and then asserted that he (Morgan;
knew who the informant was. The
. country knew who it was. . The senator
, from Maine (Hale) could not -conceal
the fact, asserted Morgan, that he was
in communication with the Spanish
' government.
Hale made an indignant denial, stat
ing that none of his information came
from Spanish sources, and it was entirely
from Americans. .
' The Morgan Caban resolution went to
. the senate calendar,' thus losing the
privileged place. Morgan gave notice
that he wonld make a motion tomorrow
. to take it'up with a view to securing
. final action.

up at 2 :15 p. m., and Stewart of Nevada
took the floor to speak on it.

Ensign G. L. P. Stone, of the coast de
' fen se battle-ship Puritan, fought for air

. squad of five men detailed to descend in
to the double bottom of the Fnritan and
inspect and clean it. When the men
. came out they closed all the hatches,
net knowing that Stone had been left
. behind in one of the compartments.
Seven honrs later a seamen . heard a
faint tapping on one of the hatches. He
" listened and it was repeated more faintly.
,. He reported it, and then it was recog
nized that it might have ' come from
Stone, who bad been missing some time.
The screws were removed and the hatch
i lifted. . At the very mouth of the open
ing they saw the white, upturned face of
the ensign.- He bad , pressed his lips
-, close to the metal cover of his prison in
bis efforts to obtain fresh air. . He was
half-conscious, bat still had sufficient
presence of mind to cling to the ladder.
In one hand tightly gripped was a shoe
' which he had removed, and it was with
this he bad rapped for hours on the
ceiling of his cell. ' " '. '

A RIOT AT CHICAGO
The Election-Day Mob Tried
to Steal Ballot Boxes.
ENOCH ARDEN HAS ANOTHER RIVAL
The Powers Are Still Sending Notes and
the Greeks Are Still Paying no .
Attention to Them.
Chicago, April 7. The attempt to
steal a ballot-box in the seventeenth
ward and a few scraps were the only in
cidents yesterday. '- A mob' made a des
perate attempt to steal the ballot-box of
the fourteenth precinct of the seven
teenth ward. The bravery of the police
prevented the- consummation of the
crime. The polling-place was in a res
taurant at 309 West : Kinsie, kept by
John Rupert.
' A few minutes after. 4 o'clock , men
gathered in . front of the polling-place.
The judges and clerks paid no attention
to them and continued counting the bal
lots.' The men crowded in the dobrs.
The police warned tbem to keep away,
but this seemed to be the signal for an
onslaught. The plate-glass door was
broken and the mob pushed in the door
and tore away the looks which held the
door.' Once on the inside the men be
gan to yell, "The ballot-box."
Policemen Eastman and Sawyer took
out their clubs and began knocking down
the invaders. Still tbe men poured in,
pushing closer to the ballot-box. For
the time it looked as if the men would
succeed in stealing it. It was a fight
between 700 men and two policemen and
tbe judges and clerks of election. , When'
it was seen tbe mob was getting the best
of the combat, Eastman and Sawyer
drew their revolvers and threatened to
shoot the first men to step toward the
ballot-box.
In tbe meantime a citizen turned in a
riot call and a wagonload of police hur
ried to tbe scene. When the wagon ap
peared the crowd had dispersed. Blood
could be seen all over the floor, as a re
sult of the fight. No arrests were made.
Eastman and Sawyer were bruised, but
none of the clerks or judges were hurt.
After the place was. put in order the
counting of the ballots continued.
Complete Returns at Chicago. .
Chicago, April 7. The mayoralty
vote complete is as follows : Carter H.
Harrison, Democrat,' 144,828; J. M.
Harlan, Independent, 67,073; N. C.
Sears, Republican; 57,560; W. Hesing,
business men's, 15,116 ; John Glembeck,
socialist-labor, 1226 ; H. L. Farmelee,
Prohibition, 852; J.; I. Pearce, jr., In
dependent, 686; F. Howard Collier, In
dependent, 88. Total, 287,434. Harri
son's plurality, 77,736; Harrison's ma
jority over all, 2222. -
Complete retnrns show tbe election of
23 Democratic aldermen, six Republi
cans and five Independents. The Demo
crats will have a majority of eight over
all in the next council. - . -
According to the Record the vote for
the Democratic ticket ' was increased
through Republican strength thrown by
machine Republicans who feared the
election of Harlan,- Independent. : The
Democrats also aided the Republican
politicians who separated from the regu
lar organization after the1 recent bitter
contest for United States senatorship.
One consequence of'the overwhelming
democratic victory will probably be the
formation of a new civic party' which
will not recognize national issues.
Soefcless Jerry Hade a Scene.
Washington, April 7.-rSimpson, Pop-
nlist, of Kansas, created a scene in tbe
house today by denouncing Speaker
Reed for his failure to appoint commit
tees, and announcing that he would op
pose all attempts to legislate by consent
nntil the house was organized, Speaker
Reed replied that the house had 'control
of the speaker. - Reasonable time had
always been allowed to tbe speaker for
estimating new members. He had con
sulted the members and supposed until
today tbe feeling of the house was that
committees should not be appointed.
To Compel Barbers to Shave Negroes.
Oakland, Calif.', April t. The civil
rights bill, lately passed by the legisla
ture, is to be taken as the basis for a
suit in which William Pott, acolored
man, will seek to recover heavy damages
from a barber in this city.
Pott presented himself at the letter's
shop to - be shaved a few days ago. He
was told that no colored men' -were
served there at all, and that he could
not be shaved. Pott " protested and
called attention to the civil rights bill ;
but the barber was'positive, and refused
to reconsider his decision. Pott then
secured the services of Attorney Thomas
Garrily, who prepared to sue for dam
ages. A verified report of tbe bill as
passed has . been received by Garrity,
and the proceedings will at once follow
The colored people of the city are to
contribute to prosecute the case and will
test it with energy. It is the first pro
ceeding of its. kind under the new law
in the state. There is every indication
that a stubborn fight will be made, as
while barbers eav tbev are unable to
hold a lucrative trade where no color
line is drawn. '.
NOTES FROM TBE POWERS.
Greek Cabinet Discusses the Latest Ul-
' tlmatums.
Athens' April 7. The cabinet minis
ters assembled last evening and engaged
until a late hour in discussing the identi
cal notes of the representatives of the
powers handed yesterday to M. Skouzes,
the Greek minister of foreign affairs. It
is believed M. Skouzes will deliver the
reply of Greece to the representatives of
the powers today.
Meanwhile it is rumored here that
Russia has made a separate proposal to
tbe effect that if Greece will withdraw
her troops from Crete, Russia will agree
to obtain the withdrawal of the. Turkish
troops from Crete, and Russia will prom
ise that Prince George of Greece will be
sent to organize the Cretan - gendarmes.
Greece, according to report, promptly,
rejected these propositions. Tbe de
mand made that Admiral Canevaro, the
Italian officer incommand of the inter-
national fleet in Cretan waters, be re
lieved of his eomand, is said here to be
due to bis opposition to the plan drawn
up for the blockade of the Piraeus.
Throughout yesterday evening the pal
aces of King George and Crown Prince
Constantine were blazing with lights,
and the city generally a. mass of illumin
ation in celebration of the anniversary
of Greek independence in 1821. . Dis
plays of fire works were numerous, and
in all parts of Athens were patriotic
assemblages at which warlike orations
were delivered, the speakers being
greeted with cheers for tbe king and
war. During the evening there was a
grand military . tatoo, in which
all of the bands in the city took part.
The whole population thronged the
streets, cheering everybody and every
thing and for war with the Turks. But
in spite of the demonstration of loyalty
and patriotism there was no disturbances
worth noting. '

TESLA INVENTS AN OSCILLATOR.
Discovery Which Will Revolutionise
Electric LlchtlDg;.
New York, April 8 Nicola Tesla has
made a discovery which will revolution
ize, it is believed, the ordinary means of
illumination, and will be of infinte use
in' hundreds of directions. Tesla ex
hibited tonight newly perfected appli
ances called electrical oscillators, which
are a novel kind of transformers, based
on one his discoveries' made six years
ago. : By their maans Thesla is now able
to produce electrical vibrations to a fre
quency of many millions a second from
ordinary currents, whether alternating
or direct. " ' . ,. -v
This achievement has an important
bearing on many scientific and industri
al problems." Tesla pointed out two im
portant discoveries. . First of all, he an
nounced that he bad found a new and
powerful eource of the rays. This source,
he said, was an electric arc formed under
certain conditions, and the quality of
the rays is such as to give a far finer

'definition and greater power of the im
pressions.' Tesla said that while diffi
culties at the present are sncn as to : re
strict tbe use of the principle, he hoped
to overcome and soon report substantial
progress. -.',,
The second important discovery, TeBla
announced! was the deflection of Roent
gen rays by a magnet. This has an im
portant bearing on the : nature of the
Roentgen rays and establishes the com
plete identity of these with the rays dis
covered by Leonard in 1891, five years
before Roentgen made his announce-,
ment.
In the introduction of bis subject,
Tesla said that in 1804 he engaged
in an investigation . of the ac
tinic power of phoppborescent bodies.
Tbe Roentgen rays effect were observed,
but not recognized. He exhibited a
great number of -diagrams and designs
for a demonstration of bis theory of rays,
which be said were due to minute par
ticles of matter projected with enor
mous velocities from tbe bulb, a view
which is at variance with the generally
accepted one regarding trans veree waves.
. Tesla's newest discovery, besides pro
ducing a more brilliant and mnch cheap
er means of purifying the atmosphere,
water and other substances. Ammonia,
nitric acid and other products may he
evolved fromjrammon air if from noth
ing else. It would be immpossible to
enumerate the possibilities of the dis- -covery.

REVOLT IS SPREADING,
Uruguayan Troops Unable to Cope With
the Insurgents.
New York, April 8. A Herald dis
patch from Montevido says :
' The government is alarmed at tbe
failure of the troopB to suppress tbe re-.
bellion. Officials admit that the news
from the front is unfavorable. The gov
ernment column under Munez has been -dispersed
by Saravia. Lamas is now
said to be marching on Monos. '
Saravia, the Brazilian 'rebel chief, is
at San Luis, near the Brazilian frontier,
while Lamas is - marching toward the
center of the republic. The government
troops were defeated at Trecinta y Tres.
The government has called for the
mobilization of 6000 troops of the na
tional guard. .,

The man who eats because lie is bun- .
gry is, thus far, on tbe level with the

brings about indigestion or dyspepsia,
with loss of flesh, strength, sleep, am
bition and mental ' power, and an ac
cumulation of aches, pains and -many
dangerous local maladies.
The stomach now can do nothing
alone. We must appeal to some artific
ially digested food which can also digest
other foil' " That is to say,, we must'
