In reply to a request that he would g-ive the press his views on the result of Tues day's election. Mr. R. P. Rlaud stated he was so overwhelmed with the un expected nature of the returns from all parts of the country that he was not nrepared to g-ive an opinion for publication of the causes which led to the landslide. He attributed his own defeat, however, very larg-ely to over con tidence among- his political friends in Democratic counties resulting- in a dangerous falling-off in the Demo cra'.ir vote. He takes defeat philoso-p:..-ai:y and is of the opinion the Re publican victory will prove a valii ab:o lesson to Missouri Democrats. Aucitional returns, received last eve ui4, reduce Dr. Hubbard's supposed ,-H-:r.-i.lity of 000 over Mr. Bland, to H4. and it may require the official -tc to determine whether Mr. Bland is actually defeated.

He said when asked as to the causes r.f the Democratic defeat, that he had nt been paying- any attention to pol it.es since the adjournment of the senate, but had been devoting- his mc to g-etting- well. It was i.ar.l to tell what particular thing was most influential. In .-m. cases the cause was a local ert.and not due to anythiug- the I eraoeratio party had done. The :. jscs which existed in when '. llepublicans were defeated, con t -. tied now. whatever they were, and ' Democratic party was suffering f cm the action of tiie people just as t'.e Republicans had done at that ctiou. He did not think that the feat of t'e Democratic party would i lasting-but that everything- would all rig-lit after awhile.

'TWAS A REV iHfi. congress-: 'V SENATOR INGALLS ON THE LATE ELECTION. His Views of What Urouht About the Political Vpheaial Declares He H Xo Loujit in Public Life, that is .So Far as Ileitis- a Candidate for Any otllce Concerned Four Terms in the Semite Morn than Any Man Should Ask For. WILL DO LITTLE. lnulls on the Election. 'Kaxsas Cmy Mo., Nov. 12. John J. Ingalls, ex-senator from Kansas, arrived at the Union station 'at 10:10 o'clock this morning from Atchison, and forty minutes later left for "Car thage to deliver a lecture. "The result last Tuesday,"' said Mr. Ingalls, referring to the election, "was mere than a Republican victory. It was more than a Democratic de feat. It was a revolution. It was' the indignant protest of the national conscience against imbecility, in capacity, hypocrisy, duplicity and dishonor. The redemption of Kansas is complete. The costly and humil iating aberration of the past four years has disappeared and reason and common sense have resumed their sway. The Republican party has now a supreme opportunity to deal with the causes of discontent which brought about the original catastro phe, and I have no doubt that under the prudent and conservative leader ship of Major Morrill anil his very able associates they will meet the emergency- with wisdom and forti tude." 'Do you expect to retnrn to public life. Mr. Ingalls?" was asked. "No. 1 have at present no purpose nor inclination to return to the public service in any capacity. I am not in different to "the honors, the rewards, the splendid incentives of public life, but I have had my da3. 1 have no ambition that has not been fully gratified and the constituency that has supported me so long- mig-ht justly Phelps-E.

Mr. Ingalls was at the Union sta t;on yesterday a few minutes, and has been there often, ami he ex plained his frequent appearance this wav: j "I earn my living now on the lect j ure plat orm. Five years ago I sup j posed 1 had a moderate competency, : but the shrinkage of values and the strangulation of business left me ; stranded, and my income from real ! estates and other investments barely j suffices to meet taxes, insurance, in- terest and repairs, so that I have J been compelled to pack 1113 j and go on the road again." "Do von contemplate any ; of occupation'.'"' ; "1 have had many lucrative pro : posals for newspaper and other pro i fessional employment, but 1 have de clined to consider them because I do not wish to relinquish my residence in Kansas and my life is too far ad vanccd'to permit me to contemplate 1 new career." ! 1 To: Dem Rep Pop ENORMOUS MAJORITY.

Tariff re formers are not in the least dismayed by the result of the election. They j hold it to be but the natural conse 1 quence of Democratic incompetency I and folly as exhibited in its broken tariff' reform promises and pledges. Senator Call said to-day: "When a party ha3 been advocating a certain policy and then when it gets into power fails to carry out that policy, it is sure to suffer defeaL" ' President Proctor of the civil ser vice commission said: "Had the party followed President Cleveland it would have been victorious." Secretary Smith said: "Had the Democratic party stood by Mr. Cleve land and his policies, it would have won even this year." The politicians are dumfounded by the popular uprising. The reformers are wholly undisturbed. They say that President Cleveland warned his party in the Wilson letter that it could not face the people on a meas ure fraught with perfidy and dishonor and that the country has now over whelmingly sustained the moral veto President Cleveland grve to the tariff bill when he refused to siirn iL He Armomi's Close Shave.

I I Indignation Over.the Late I'leetiou Mur der-. Chicago, Nov. 12. The murder of Gus Collander. by a gang of toughs while watching the counting of .bal lots in the Ninth precinct of.i Twenty-third ward last Ttuwkty, caused indignation meetings in nearly every ward of the North side last night to protest against election day outrages, and to pledge united action in avenging the death. At each meet ing resolutions condemning the brutal murders and assaults and the men in office who were responsible for them, were adopted. Fervid speeches, demanding retribution both in the courts ami at the polls, were made and applauded by Democrats and Republicans alike. The .facts brought to light by the police show that the .Market street gang, otherwise known as the "O'Malley gang." had formed a deliberate plan not only to sicze the ballot boxes of several precincts, but to kill the judges and clerks if necessary. It is known that the members of the gang, all of whom have more or less unsavory records, held a number of meetings in the rear of a Market street saloon. The Record, Independent, to-day says: "There are indications that men of influence and city otliceholders were in communication, if not in direct collusion, with the sran; that thev had promised its members immunity from police interference aud that they had paid the livery bills for the car riages that were used both before and i after the murder of Collander. If j the facts which were hinted at can be proved the case will furnish most sensational developments and the names of persons hirh in office will be dragged into it. "It is also evident that the bravado of the gang is not yet broken. Its members who are still at larcre and relying on the promised protection have shown their hands several times by appearing to threaten the lives of men who are supposed to have inside information as to their doings."' The Civic Federation has already gone vigorously into the work of prosecuting the gang. It began to collect its evidence yesterday and no effort will be spared to convict those who are guilty. No warrants will be sworn out, however, until the police have done what they can toward find ing the men wanted. Inspector Schaack says he is perfectly willing to catch such of the men as he can and turn them over for prosecution. He thinks the great difficulty will be getting the necessary identification of the men who were implicated in the murder of Collander. although it will be a comparatively easy matter to pick out the ones who wen con cerned in the riots at the other polling places.. "They are all slippery crim inals," he said, "they have been all over the country and served their time in a number of peniteutiaries and it is correspondingly difficult to locate them." The Inter Ocean (Republican) to day contains grave charges of con nivance at the election day outrages by Inspector Schaack and Police Cap tain Gibbons. No ISond Ivwue. Washington. Nov. 12. The report telegraphed from New York and pub lished in the morning papers that another S50. 000,000 bond issue had been determined upon is without foundation, but Secretary Carlisle has not changed in the least his policy with respect to the issue of bonds and if it is found necessary to issue bonds to maintain credit they will be issued without the leasts hesitation. The present conditions do n t war rant such action. The Comtnfr Seion Not J.ilcoly to Ke 'ult lu 'Any GontV Legislation. Washington, Nov. 1 2. The session of congress which will open Decem ber 5 is not expected by those familiar with congressional methods to be productive of much legislation. The facts that it will last for only three months, that it will be the last session of the congress and that it so closeli' follows a general elec tion are all considered as indicating that comparatively little real work will be attempted" and still less ac complished. The greater part of the session will in an probability be con fined to an exchange of dialling over the results of the election. It is probable that next to nothing will be done before the Christmas holidays and predictions are freely made that it will be difficult to ob tain or maintain a quorum previous to that time. After the holidays there will be but two months left for i work and speechmaicing. It will, of j course, be necessary to pass the usual appropriation bills," but little else is j expected. n hen the last session adjourned the measures attracting the most atten tion were the supplemental tariff or free raw material bills. They passed the house and had been favorably re ported to the senate with material amendments by the senate commit tee on finance. While a maioritv of the Democratic senators are friendly i to those bills, there is a considerable , element in the party opposed to their j consideration as are practically all 1 the Republican senators, and these j will be able to prevent favorable con- sitleration of these bills because of : the short session. They also claim j that if a vote should be reached j there will be a majority against them, j lt should be stated, however, that there is a division of opinion among the opponents of the free sugar bill ! and that some Republicans and some j conservative Democrats have ex- pressed a willingness to allow this 1 bill to become a law, but the best in dications are that the fate of the bill ' will be determined by the fate of the others of the same class. There is little doubt that the silver i question will be raised in some form, , but the probabilities are that there Qr,TTT'T1T7?TP A TTFPSn ' and given a harmonious mechanical ad- NEW AVKIXICLKS IX .

Prcoce. the English oI:v:nctan who has for some years been working on the transmission of telegraph mes sairss without direct wires, says that he has not succeeded in determining satisfactorily the general law which ripiiatos tiie distance to which one can speak in this way, ami he sc.ireely hopes to do so. as t'n problem i beset with many disturbing lcnifnts. ; co I'lsricnl as well as olerrrii'.il. Mr. l'nwe thus explains th" ineeh r.i.'sm of the mode of signaling across space: Its analogue s a Hush of light seen at a distance. Fnergy Is exmi.d od. say. in a light hous' on some dan gerous rock or in a gun firing some warning signal or in a ho-itire on srinc mountain lop. The en Tgy asMtmcs tho luminous form, exciting the tther to undulate with a frequency of many millions per second, which, acting upon the retina of tht eye. prodiu-e the sen sation called liuht. The binning of th oil lamp of the light house is tin pri mary somve of energy: tin- rapid undu lations of the ether propagat.-d in s'raighl lines at a velocity of lsiiDOj miles per second are the radiations, iraiisinittin this energy in a waw from the distant ship: the eye is th. apparatus which transforms the encrtry of the light waves into n form which excites consciousness in iho brain. In the electrical experiments the primary energy is in the current, form, and th" comparatively few alterations per sec ond excite waves in the ether of a few hundreds per second only. But thcs oscillations of the eth"r or electric waves are of the same character as those, of light: ihey move with the same velocity, and when they fall on a sympathetis secondary conductor they excite in that condu"tor currents of jttstment. This a machine which has in it the poten tiality of reducing to the rank of oul bell metal half the machinery at pres ent moving on the face of the globe. ; It m.iy'coiue to do the entire work of j the "engines of an ocean steamship I within a small part or the space they j now oA-npy. and at a fraction of their I cost, both of construction and operation. It will do this work without par or ' pounding, and will reduce to a mini i mum tiie risk of derangement or break j age. There is nothing in the whole range of mechanical construction irom railway locomotives to stamp mills, which such an invention may not revo- lutionk'.e. J The essential characteristic or the j machine is the application of the pres ' sure of steam to produce an extremely ! rapid vibration or a bar of steel or pis j ton. which in turn, is o adapted to it set of magnets ihat ihe mechanical ' energy of the vibration is converted into electricity. The extraordinary ie- suit is that, practicall.v.an absolutfly constant vibration is established, and a power is attained greatly Iwyond that obtainable in tho ni"st cosily oxpanstou engine using a similar amount of steam. Besides saving in mechanical fruthm j the :5T jM'r cent of loss in the working j of the engine, tiie 3-" per cent of loss j by belt friction, and the H per cent wasted in the dynamo, making altogeth er an addition of (SO per cent to the available energy' obtained from the steam for ilie purpose of producing elec tricity, it is simpler, smaller and light , or. than the iiie:-hauisni it is destined 1 to replace, absolutely constant iii its action, automatically regulated, and I subject to the least possible amount of wear and tear. The utilization of this machine in any branch of industry ; would result in an appreciable lowering : in the cost of production, and it is quite I possible- that its first general employ : luenr may be in electric lighting. In 1 the face of this marvelous invention. 1 a nvont statement of Tesla seems hard , ly 110 longer visionary.

CHINA AND AMERICA. 1 ho minister and Secretary of Stato Gresham Conferring. Washington, Nov. 12. The Chinese minister here had a long conference with Secretary Gresham yesterday morning. This was one of several conferences held within the last ten days. The Chinese minister is acting under the first article of the treaty of ISIS; it pledges the Fnitcd States in case China is oppressively or unjustly treated by another power, to use its good offices to arrange the difficulty. It is similar in scope to the first arti cle in the treaty with Corea which led Secretary Gresham at the begin ning of the trouble to write the note to United States Minister Dunn at Tokio relative to the Japanese occupation of Corea. The matter was laid before the president, who has had it under consideration for a week or more. As the United States representations in the case of the occupation of Corea had little ef fect, theVe. ' is no reason to suppose that a different result would follow an attempt to use good offices in favor of Chi na. If the Chinese government desires the United States to present peace proposals to Japan as arbitra tor this may be done through Minis ter Denby, but it is felt here that the better way would be for China to sub mit her proposals directly to Japan, when it would be entirely within the bounds of propriety for the United States to express the gratification .it would feel as a nation friendly to both to see peace arranged on honor able terms.

Itestilt of the Kleetioin Kxpertoit to Give it a Sharp Stimulm. Nkw Yoiuc, Nov. 12. i:. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review 01 Trade says: Rusiness has been waiting the greater part of the past week and the elections are expected to give it a sharp stimulus. Whether men are right or wrong in expecting better things, the fact that they expect them does not tend to make things better. In the speculative markets there has been scarcely any movement and nothing favorable to holders. Wheat is two cents higher, but with receipts of only 3,54.1,032 bushels, against l,"il)3,4TT the same week last year, there is little encouragement, be cause stocks in sight are far beyond all previous records. Cotton has declined 'i to .I' cents, which is again the lowest price ever recorded and appears to mean a defi nite decrease in production here after, as in most of the Southern states the prices now realized are not remunerative. For the present the stocks here ami abroad are large enough to kill any speculation. Scarcely airything is doing in woolen goods for spring delivery, and the demand fcr fall and winter goods has nearly disappeared. In general it is believed the spring orders thus far are not more than half the usual quantity. and among other data on -which it will be baod ar? the replies of 120 leading Indian doc-iors and magistrates to a detailed schedule of questions. A lead ing English paper .sums up the question thus: "Tho opium question may, in fact, be considered dead-killed by the clear light of independent ubiqtiitious inquiry from skilled and disinterested witnesses."

Ealtimoi:, Md., Nov. 12. John A. Logan, jr who has a string of horses at the Maryland horse show, and Martin u'Rrien, a local horse man, came to blows at the exhibition last 1 night, OTIrien claiming that Logan's horse got in the way of his turnout. Later they met and exchanged blows, but were scpiratcd before either combatant received any injurj. cylinders, which are placed one on each side of the top of the carriage. The other ends of these levers carry the counterweight, a mass of metal Aveigh ing :'7,0l)O pounds, placed in the center of the carriage, carrying with them the trunnions of the supporting levers and raising the counterweight, which is held in its elevated position by a sys tem of pawls and ratchets. AVhen the counterweight is released It throws the rear ends of the gun-bearing levers forward and upward. The buffing cylinders are drawn forward over their stationary pistons to the front end of the carriage. At the same time the breech end of the gun is car ried up by steel arms, whose upper ends are pivoted to tin; gun. and whose lower ends are pivoted to sliding blocks ivhich move in circular grooves, mid which may be raised or lowered to give the desired elevation. When the discharge occurs the force of recoil throws back the upper ends of the levers, which in turn force the cylin ders to the rear end of the carriage and raise the counterweight to its orig inal position, where it is caught and held by the pawls and ratchets. Nei ther the gun nor any part of the car riage is exposed above the projecting parapet except for the instant of tiring. The extreme elevation is 1.1 degrees, the depression is 0 degrees. It is calcu lated that tho thirds of th" force of the recoil comes up in the hydraulic cylin ders, the other third being used in rais ing the counterweight. Ten rounds were tired from it in founteen minutes anil nine-tenths sec onds, the most rapid tiring of any gun known. The shell is .17.1 pounds. A nou-comniissioiied officer and eight men can handle the gun. I saw it tested on Friday. "When the bar was released the ratchet of the gun rose in the air -with an ease and grace that was as tonishing. The explosion was deafen ing, and the instant after down it came to its original position with the gentle and graceful motion, as were a mere toy being handled girl. New York Herald. A New Niulit Industry. When tic? arc lights first cime -enornl use in American cities, it into was p-marked that large number of mollis and other insects were lm-ed to tho vi cinity of the light by the brightness of its rays, and many of these found their way into the glass globe, which encased the lamp. Entomologists soon realized that a new means of enriching their collectioits of insects was close lo ttieir Itand. and many rare specimens were scoured through the friendly office of the lineman who trimmed the lamps daily. The introduction of the arc light for European street lighting has been greatly letarded. but now that it is ef footed the fascination of the light for night insects is abundantly illustrated. In many parts of Europe this phenome non has beey turned into a source of revenue. At Carlsbad the moth collec tors are in force nightly around the arc lamps in the streets of the town, provided with buttertly nets, and those who make a business of procuring sped mens of rare inserts for sale are doing a thriving business. One and oven two dollars is sometimes paid for a valuable insect. same if it by a The Te.xla Oscillator.
