Mr. I terry of Arkausns olijee.ted. It was agreed to adjourn overfill 1'ridi.y. Mr. Morrill of Vermont explained that the tinaiiei; miumktce desired to eons tier the boint and tanlV bills on 'I'liur.iday. Mr. (handler's resolution, offered yesterday, ashing the committed on navul uH'air lo investigate tins prices paid by tlie government for armour plute and as to whether any oflicia! of the government, was interested in patent processes, was called up. At the .suggestion of Mr. (lormaii the words directing an inquiry into the facts s.s to w tiether tlie prices paid by the I'nited States were "as low a.i paid by the foreign governments" were stricken oat. The resola'iou was adopted. Mr. Suerman then introduced his resolut ion, w hich was listened to with keen interest, in view of the Senator's utterances again.it the retirement of Kreeiiiiack. lie gave notice that on Friday lie would su limit some remarks upon it. Mr. Mitcbel of Oregon then too!; the floor and spoke in favor of his resolu tion instructing the (inane;! committee, to restore the McKiiiley duties on wool in any revenue bill reported to the Senate, Senator Mitchell declared thut no industry had received such a slugger ing and deadly legislative blow as that indicted upon tho wool industry by the Wilson larilf act. It had drained from tho Fiutil States within t he last year gTi.OUll.uoo 'u gold to pay for for eiirn wool, and had occasioned a loss to the wool ; rowers of this country of more than Sl.ouo.iido. Inlcss this leg islation wa-- changed the sheeii iudu-- trv of the l'ac'di i cons woc.ld be mi- llihilated. Mr. Mitchell said the tariff bill passed by the House would probably iiitn use 'the revenue i!'1 oniMmo a yi-ar Anictidcd, as it should be, by tilford iug wool, lumber, barley, hops, and other agricultural products adequate protection it will give an add.t:oiial revenue of Jr 'lO.dOl t, () K), mid place a pin) lock upon the so-called 'endless chain"' by which gold is drawn lrom the treasury, will stop all neccs'iiy for further issue of bonds and rescue from unpenning ruin the wool and other agricultural interests of this country. While Mr. Mitchell was contending that the Secretary of the Treasury could have stopped the gold drains by" using his discretion to redeem rices in coin, Mr. Hill of New York asked him if it was not true that greenbacks had been redeemed in gold by every secre tary since Is?!'. Mr. Mitchell replied that, it might be true, but in his opinion il was very nour policy. I "Treasury notes have only been re- deemed in gold since I Si) I," interrupt to virtue, Cll m,.. rock re 11 of Missouri. Is that a fai t'.'" asked Mr. Mitchell. "It is," replied Mr. lockrell, em phatically. "In l-.'it in response to a telegram sent by mo to Secretary Cos ter he replied that the lir-t treasury note had been redeemed by him in gold in I-'.il." I am talking about greenbacks, ha id Mr. Hill. "Have not all the "Secretaries of tlie Treasury redeemed these notes in gold I ince IsT'.i'.'"' "Crecnbacks were never pre-enled,"' baid Mr. l ockrell, "There was no demand for gold and that can be show n on the record.

Miles is now making a study of the horseless vehicle, with a view to determining' its utility in army use. The idea is to use it, for the army trains. At. each of its forty-one military pts our army employs two or more wag ons, prescribed by tin; CnurU-ruiaster (leneral. "Tie luner, the six-mule wag-in, is for transporting army sup plies to and from i.i.lrcad stations on the frontier posts. The other, known as the escort wagon. i- pulled by two or four mules.
