For years the question whether water wheels run faster at night than during the day has been catalogued among the things which no man can find out. They doif they are so geared as to be affected by the varying fullness and speed of the cur- rent in which they are set. There is no doubt ‘that all stream: fuller and all streams carry More water at midnight than they do at noon. In the first place, the increased. cooiness of the air prevents evaporation and subsequent ing up of the smaller teibutaries; and, in second Lasisg! the condensation of the moisture in the air in the shape of dew is always suffi- cient to add something to large streams and their branches, Heavy dews are often so copi- ous as to be almost equal to a small shower of rain. We often hear pare falling from the overloaded leaves and find all exposed objects as wot as if they had undergone a shower dur- ing the night. “A large portion of this moist- ‘ure must get into the minute channels which, of course, conduct it to mill streams, “Often,” says Humboldt, “the effect uj a shallow stream is very noticeable, indeed.” If it is all “noticeable,” s wheel turned by such stream would “go faster by night than by day.” ————+e+—___ ‘The Leaflets Were Popular. ‘From the Manchester Times.

Editor Nixon of the “Inter-Ocean” Dentes Iudge Field's Story. Cmicaao, Feb. 17.—Was. Penn Nixon of the Inter-Ocean replied last night to the statement of Judge E. C. Field of Crown Point, Ind., re- garding the attitude of Judge Gresham on the tariff during the republican convention of 1888. J Field was quoted as that some of Judge Grerinna's freede taseak hin “tare of the nomination if an editorial was published im the Inter-Ocean on the authority of the Judge, saying that he wasa sound republican ‘on that part of the party platform. Mr. Nixon wrote the editorial—according to J Gresham refused to sanction it, say- that he did not believe in it. ir. Nixon vays that he wrote the editorial and in company with another gentleman called Gresham for his sanction to the article. Before he hed heard it Judge Gresham declared that he was nirendy a beaten man and as he had always refrained from maki id for the nomination, he was fearful of g tnisun- derstood if the editorial was published by his authority. He wisded to make no public state- ment whatever, but had no objections to the appearance of the editorial. He would not give it the character of an official utterance, how- ever, and Mr. Nixon and his friend withdrew. Mr, Nixon declares that Judge Field was not resent at the interview, ashe is reported to we claimed to be, but that he (Nixon) and his friend were alone with Judge Gresham. Speaking of bis appointment as Secretary of State the judge says: “It was purely duty that | goer me to accept so onerousapiace, I we bad all that care for in Leama I know its shallowness and intrigues, and surely it was neither the glamor nor the Prospects for elevation that prompted me to accept the . Politics in both parties has got to a scramble for oils, no that political life has no attractions for me. I am beyond ambition. I am satisfied. To talk “about eleva- tion, a man can bea man and retain his sclf- raspect in any position in life. The trouble with public men is that they forget that it is own the office and not the man. They feel | TP’ elevated at popular recognition and believe it is themselves. in- stead of the office. Heads are turned and they forget that they are still of the people. I look wit apprebension to going to Wash- ington, for I certainly had no desire to return there to live. Whatever may be said I can say that I accepted simply because it was urged upon me by my friends asa duty that Iowe to the American people. No other reason could have induced me to leave the bench.” —-. EXCITEMENT IN COTTON, Prices Advance on Rumors of the End of the Big Strike. Liverroot, Feb. 17.—The cotton market opened excited this morning and prices ad- vanced ten points owing to unfounded rumors that the spinners’ strike in Lanca- shire was virtually over. Report had it that the trouble had been com- Promised on a basis of a 2: per cent reduction in spinners’ wages for six months and a re- consideration of the wages question at the expiration of that time. A_nerv- ous feeling now prevails and — is likely to remain until the result of the master cotton spinners’ meeting, tobe held in Mat chester thie afternoon, is known. A meetin of the operatives will be held tomorrow, an this also, is an uncertain factor in the ‘sttua- ion. New York, Feb. 17.—Cottoncontrects opened steady at i518 points advance, gained 5 points, then reacted and now are 15a17 points above yesterday, with sales of 160,000 bales, in- fluenced by the Liverpool market, where prices were Gal0 up early ona report that the strike had been settled, and closing irregular at 7a8 Points up for the day.

Loxpox, Feb. 17.—So crowded were the gal- leries in the house of commons during Lord Randolph Churchill's speech last night that United States Minister Lincoln and many peers ‘were unable to get seats. ‘The delay and excitement during the debate on the question of privilege rendored Lord Randolph #0 nervous that he began his speech almost diffidently. He seems to have ‘ost all the dash of his former years. He has grown bald and round-rhouldered, his face bas lost all color and his eyes are heavy. During the first half hour he was touching his lips almost constantly to a water giass. His voice trembled and several times was almost in- audible. Once he pressed his trembling hands quickly to his heart and his face showed keen suffering, but he gradually regained confidence as he con- tinued, eventually speaking in bis full usual voice.” Although skiliful and effective his speech showed little of his old brilliarey of ar- gument. ‘ Mr. Gladstone is said to be willing to intro- duce a bill providing for the optional payment of salaries to members of the house. le makes the condition, however, that no radical amend- ments shall be moved.

New Yous, Feb. 17.—The young son of Mrs. Marie Nevins is ill with scarlet fever at the New York Hotel. For sometime the child has been ailing and has not been seen abcut the hotel corridors as frequently as has been his wont, He has always been known to the guests of the hotel as ‘young Blaine,” and he was always brought into particular prominence because of his great likeness to his famous grandfather. The dreaded malady set in on Tuesday last and both the child and his mother were at onco uarantined in the apartments of Mrs. Nevins, the grandmother. The father of the child, from whom Mrs, Blaine, jr., has a divorce, has not as yet been notified.

Mr. Sherman's Three Per Cent Bond Amendment Offered. A POINT OF ORDER OVERRULED, Some Interesting Discussion on Subject by Senators.

Mr. McMillan (Mich.) offered a resolution, which was agreed to, directing the Secretary of State to inform the Senate as to reciprocal at- Tangements for wrecking privileges on the | place great lakes, Senate joint resolution authoriz- ing the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution tosend to the Columbian exposition articles illustrative of the lifeand development of the industries of women was re) and The consideration of the sundry civil appro- —— bill was resumed and the vote was en without further discussion on the amend- ment relative to the federal supervision of elec- tions. The amendment was agreed to by a strict party vote—vens, 27; nays, 24. It strikes out of the House bill the words prohibit the payment for warrants, arrests or prosccu- tions under the laws relating to the election of members of The Senate then, at 12:45, on motion of Mr. Sherman, proceeded to executive business. After twenty minutes of seclusion the doors were reopened and the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill was proceeded with, All the amendments which been orted from the committee on appropriations having been dis ‘of various other amend- ments of no public importance were re from the committee by Mr. Allison (Iowa), its chairman, and were agreed to. The bill was then open to general amendment. MR. SHERMAN'S BOXD AMENDMENT. Mr. Sherman (Ohio) offered bis 3 per cent bond issue amendment. As soon as it was read a point of order was made by Mr. Stewart (Nev.) against the amend- ment ae “general legislation on an appropria- tion bill.” “TI haveearefally examined the rule,” Mr.Sher- man said, ‘and am quite satisfied that the — of order is not well taken. The Senator rom Nevada thinks that the amendment would affect the silver question. How it does I cannot ‘imagine. The only object of the amendment is to enable the tery of the Treasury, in case of aun emergency, to issue a 3 per cent bond redeemable at the leasure of the United States after ive years, instead of a 4 per cent bond “running for thirty years or a 43g per cenf bond running for fifteen years, My désire is to give to the in- coming administration all the facilities possi- ble to enable it to sustain the public credit and tosell 3 per cent bonds instead of ds or 434s or 5s”. Mr. Gorman (Md.)—If the emergency did ariso is it not a fact that the authority exists now for the secretary to issue 48 and 43,8? Mr. Sherman—Undoubtedly. Mr. Gorman—So that the effect of this amend- ment would be simply to save the difference in interest botween 3 per cent bonds and 4 or 434 per cent bonds? ir. Sherman—Exactly. Mr. Cockrell (Mo.)—Are not the 4 per cent bonds commanding now in the market a pre- mium, making the rate of interest received from them less than 3 per cent? SOME STATEMENTS AS TO BONDS. Mr. Sherman—It may be so as to the out- standing bonds, but if new 4 per cent bonds came to be issued Ido not know what the effect on the market would be. Is the Senator from Missouri desirous that we should issue a 4 per cent forty-year bond ata rate of premium? My idea is that no gov- ernment bond should be issued running for any considerable period of time; and I am per- fectly willing that the proposed bonds should made ble in three years or at the pleasure of the government. In England now the consols are worth 2% per cent—that is, that bonds drawing 2% per cent interest would command par. It may be that the Secretary of the Treasury will be able to sell a 25¢ per cent bond in this country, but it Tu: Bhewars opek ia bi ir. Btewart spoke in support of his point of order and had the rule on the subject read atthe clerk's desk. There could be no question, he said, as to the amendment being not only gen- eral legisiation, but legislation of the most gen- eral and seeping character. Coming to the merits of the proposition he argued against it. There was no necessity, he said, to sell bonds and to buy com. There was ienty of coin in the treasury, There was over 600,000,000 of silver coin and silver bullion in the treasury and $108,000,000 of gold, thus making over 700,000,000 of coin or of ‘what might be converted into coin. THE POINT OF ORDER DECIDED. After discussion of the point of order on Mr. Sherman's amendment Vice President Morton decided the point. He said that it made an ap- ropriation to carry out existing law, limiti Trotathority of the Secretary of the’ Treasury under existing law. It did not, in his opinion, propose now legislation. He therefore beid if to be in order. An appeal against the ruling was taken by Mr. Stewart, and the appeal was, on motion of Mr. Hoar, laid on the table—yeas 27, nays 18— so the amendment was decided to be in order. HOUSE. ‘The Speaker having laid before the House the House car coupler bill with Senate amend- ments, Mr. Wise (Va.) moved a concurrence in the amendments. Tho opponents of the bill, led by Mr. Rich- ardson (Tenn.), opposed this action and Mr. Richardson moved the reference of the meas- ure to the committee on commerce. After the discussion of a point of order the Speaker ruled that the motion to concur took preference. Mr. Mallory (Fla) supported the motion to Notwithstanding that the bill bore heavily upon his section of the country he con- tended that Congress hed a constitutional right the measure.
