New York, .lan. 23. — Lieutenant
Hugh r>. Wise of the Ninth infantry,
U. S. A., on Governor's Island, has for
six months been studying and experi-
menting with kites as a means of as-
sisting armies in warfare. His kites
are cellular, with rectangular frames
of spruce and cotton string and cotton
cloth in strips stretched around the
ends of the frames, leaving both ends
of the the rectangular framework
open, and also an open strip in the
center. Thus four "lifting surfaces and
four guiding surfaces are presented to
the wind. Yesterday, when the breeze
freshened to a fifteen mile an hour
gait, he was hoisted forty-two feet
into the air by his kites so that he
could sec over the eaves of the officers
quarters and down the bay. The force
represented by the pulling of the four
kites is estimated at 4UO pounds.

fessor Langley of the Smithsonian in-
stitution. Professor Marvin of the
weather bureau and Civil Engineer
Chanute of Chicago, who arc making
special experiments in areial locomo-
tion. with aeroplanes,' said Lieutenant
Wise. "The success of my experiment
demonstrates that kites are servicea-
ble in a gale which would tear a bal-
loon to pieces, where it is desired to
observe the surrounding country and
inspect the maneuver* of an enemy. 1
attribute my success to a close follow-
ing of the methods of those who have
studied the subject rather than to my
own efforts." ,. ,
Captain T. n. Baden-Powell usoend-
ed nearly 100 feet in England, but he
took a parachute with him. Lawrence
Hargrave was hoisted by kites forty
feet in Australia in 1885. These are
the only instances of aeroplane ascen
sions on record.

Jkfkkhson City, Mo., Jan. 23. The
special committee of the House ap-
pointed to Investigate the efforts of
the railroads and other corporations
to influence elections has reported
through llohart of Clinton a substitute

ing liefore the House. The bill pro-
vides that all employes of corpora-
tions shall have four hours on election

poration can. through its officers or

erature of any kind. Corporations

ConrlwlH III. Bperch la Opposition to
Canal—Tucker Keep. Ills *'' !.
Washington, .Tan. 23 The Senate
was on the verge of a deadlock yester-
day. and for n time there were pros-
pects of a protracted test of endurance,
extending the session late into the
night. Mr. Morgan, in charge of the
Nicaragua canal bill, was determined
to secure a time for a flnal vote. ^ 1 his
was resisted, however, by Mr. iurpie
anil Mr. Vilas. Thereupon Mr. Mor-
gan announced he would ask the Sen-
ate to -sit on" the bill, remaining in
continuous session until a vote was
forced. This evoked sharp criticism.
Mr. Vilas finally made a dilatory mo-
tion, which, on a roll call, disclosed
the absence of a quorum, and Mr.
Morgan was obliged to give up his
plan, although he expects to execute it
if an agreement for a vote is not
reached. ... u
Mr. Turpie concluded his speech
against the Nicaragua canal bill, the
third dav being a continuance of the
former bitter invective directed against
the measure. During the day Mr.
Chandler presented the credentials of
John Edward Addicks, claiming the
vacant scat as Senator from Delaware.
The claim of Henry A. Dupont for the
same scat has already been presented.
In the course of a discussion for lay-
ing electric conduits in the NN ashing-
ton streets. Mr. Hill(Dem.l of New
York spoke against trusts and monop-
olies ill general as a serious menace to
the public welfare. ,
After a two days' debate, in the
course of which considerable partisan
passion was aroused and an ineffectual
attempt made to filibuster for the pur-
pose of gaining time, the House de-
eded the contested election ease of
Yost vs. Tucker, from the lentil Vir-
ginia district, by denying the seat to
Mr. Yost and confirming Mr. lackers
title thereto. The Republican* were
badly divided, fifty-four of them join-
ing with the Democrats and support
ing the claims of the Democratic con-
tejh. Yost is a member-elect of the
next House, and Mr. Tucker, who Is a
son of Randolph Tucker, has lieen a
member of the last four congresses.
He declined a renomjnation because
he did not agree with his party on the
money question.
TRAIN HELD- UP.
Th3 Southern Eipre.. Roblied by Masked
jSbaadlt. In Aluliifiw.
Bikminihiam, Ala.. -Ian. 23.—For the
second time within a month, three un-
known masked men last night held up
train No. 35 on the Southern r ..way,
near Iterry station, seventy miles west
of Birmingham, and robbed the South-
ern Express company's car. The scenes
of the two robberies are within a mile
„f each other, and they are almost
Identically alike in every detail.
Express Messenger Ward was com-
manded to open the door Evidently
suspecting something was wrong, the
express messenger did not obey.
The robbers then began cursing and
tiring off their pistols to intimidate
the trainmen and passenger-, none ol
whom dared to interfere. I nder the
direction of the outlaws the express
car doors were broken open by the en-
gineer and fireman, and pistols thrust
into Messenger W ard's face. Ills safe
keys were securcd and the lo™'
safe quickly opened and rifled of its ]
contents, which, the express officials
say, amounted to S'.r.n. Before leaving
the ear. the robber* selected from
among the freight packages a four gal-
lon jug of whisky and appropriated it.
Thcv then backed out. pointing their
pistols at the traiwncn, anil disap-
peared in tlM*darliU< " H I" thought

VENEZUELA'S CASE.
Chief (lu.tlre Fuller Will Acl as the
Republic*. Representative.
Washington, Jan. 23—The only ob-
jection raised by the Venezuelan gov-
ernment to the treaty between the
I'nitcd State* and lireat Britain for
the settlement of the lluiana boundary
was that it would have no representa-
tion upon the proposed arbitration tri-
bunal. while England, the other party
to the controversy, would be repre-
sented equally with thi I nited State*.
President Crespo declined to accept
the treaty unless Venezuela was repre-
sented by at least one member of the
tribunal! lireat Britain objected, and
insisted upon dealing entirely wtttrthe
United States. By a little diplomacy
Venezuela was persuaded to name
Chief Justice Fuller as its representa-
tive. provided IJr.-at Britain would
withdraw its opposition to her repre-
sentation on the tribuanal. The chief
justice will accept, but will stand a*
the representative of Venezuela and
not of the 1' nited States.
