Mi % Wlltard 15. Case , a noted export , re
cently Delivered a lecture before the New
York Electrical society , at Columbia col
lege , on "nicctrlclty from Carbon Without
Heat. " For ten yearn Mr. Case has been
working on this subject , anil his expcrT-
ments showed tlie cumulative rerulls of the
work. Ho proved to the satisfaction of the
electrical experts present , relates the Now
York Sun , that the potential energy In car
bon can bfe transmitted Into electricity with
out heat ; that Is , without waste , thereby
establishing a fact which , when worked out
to Its conclusion , will mean the establish
ment ot a new motor force In place of steam
to do the world's work ; a force at once
much cheaper and more compact than any
now In use. Incidentally , the lecturer , In
a remarkable experiment , showed that hla
to the
processes were precisely analogous
process of the acquisition of energy In the
liuman body. . .
To begin with , Mr. Case cited the well
known fact that the generation of energy
through heat Involves a waste of more than
75 per cent. All electricity except that
produced by water power or galvanic bat
tery Is obtained ultimately from carbon.
In the case ot the galvanic battery the
waste through heat Is done away with , but
the alnc Is BO expensive as to make tnis
method Impracticable as a substi
tute for steam In general. Mr.
Case has eucceeded In doing wltli
carbon what the galvanic battery docs
with zinc , carbon being , of coureo , very
much cheaper. The best electric plants re
quire about live pound ? of coat per horse
power hour , electric , delivered to the line.
ly ) Mr. Case's process two-tenths of a pound
of coal will achieve an equal result. The
two lumps of coal formed oneof the ex
hibits In the lecture.
NO HEAT GENERATED.
The lecturer had his apparatus with him
and performed the experiment before the au
dience. Ho used a cell of his own Invention.
Mates of tin and platinum formed the elec
trodes , and the carbon being oxidized by con
tact with chemicals , electricity was pro
duced , as was shown by attaching the wlro
from the cell to a motor. A thermometer
nppllcd at various stages showed that no
heat waa generated ; hence , practically the
entire energy of the chemical charge was
converted Into electricity. Having concluded
this experiment , Mr. Case said :
"Wo certainly have a meat wonderful example
ampleof the conversion of potential -energy
of carbon directly Into work In the animal
economy , which Is developed at the expense
of the oxidization of the material supplied
by the food , with an efficiency twice as eco
nomical as 'In ' the case ot the steam engine.
One-fifth of the potential energy 'Is ' converted
Into work ; four-fifths Is converted Into heat.
Hut wo must remember that the human
body must bo able to exist In the arctic re
gions as well BB In the tropics , that the en
gine room must always be kept warm , and
to Insure this average temperature In all
parts of the earth and under all conditions
the four-fifths of what apparently is waste
energy Is necessary to maintain the race.
"In the human economy the oxygen ot the
air Is taken up by the 'blood ' In the lunga. It
Is carried through the arteries and attacks
the tissues , giving up Its .oxygen , and so
oxidizing them , and thus producing heat.
When work Is done , the equivalent Of the
heat disappears as work , and when work 'Is
not done , the temperature rises , perspiration
nnd evaporation take place and the tempera
ture Is kept at Its normal condition , through
this safety valve. In other words , expressed
electrically , there is local action as In a bat
tery.
NATURE'S EXAMPLE.
"Observe In the first place that nature
prepares the food which It consumes to per
r form Ita functions. The teed Is taken Into
the stomach nnd digested. < A great part of
It Is useless the best part is selected and is
transformed Into a condition In which It CM
bo easily oxidized at a low temperature , the
blood acting as the carrier of the oxygen.
Bow this not give us a hint that wo should
follow this course likewise , ana prepare the
material for our carbon-consuming batteries ?
The oxygen of the air we always have with
us ; co have wo many carriers of oxygen , but
an attempt , eo far as I know , has not yet
been made along this line which I suggest ,
except that Illuminating nnd other gases have
been used.
"Wo have In the blood of the human
economy a. carrier of oxygen called haemo
globin , which absorbs Its oxygen through
the lungs. This oxygen Is In euch unstable
condition that It can be extracted from the
blood by means of a vacuunv nnd by means
of most reducing agents ; yet It has the power
to oxlill/.o carbon and hydro carbons as the
body provides them , without external heat. "
Hero the lecturer took up a test tube con
taining blood from an ox.
"Wo have In thla test tube , " he continued ,
"water containing haemoglobin In solution.
You will see that by transmitted light It. Is
of the color ot arterial blood , as It is fully
oxidized. When n reducing agent Is added
to It and air cxclude.1 , you will eco that It
becomes the color ot vclnous blood , and when
the air Is again admitted , It takes up the
oxygen and becomes arterial In color. This
came of give and take and oxidizing and de
oxidizing can bo played as many times at >
wo like. "
As ho spoke , Mr. Case , with the aid of his
assistant , Mr. Proescr , performed , the ex
periment. With the Introduction ot the re
ducing agent the blood changed' ' color , but
retumcd to Ita original color when the nlr
V.BS Introduced again. Mr. Case then con
nected the blood with a motor by a wire ,
mid the energy thus transmitted rang an
electric bell. This experiment called forth
enthusiastic applause. Mr. Case eald further :
"What I want to express to you r.a tHi :
In this battery carbon Is completely oxidized
nt normal temperature by oxypcne , which
la held In loose combination. So It Is done
In the human body , and wo know that to
be a very clllclont machine. Therefore I bco
no rctucm to think that It Is necessary for UB
In usa high temperatures. Keep without the
Eccond law of thermo-dynomlcs , search for
a suitable carrier of axygen or pome cheap
courseof oxygsn supply and hydrogen or
carbon , or a carbon compound easily oxl-
dlioJ.
THE LOGICAL RESULT.
"Does It not seem logical that by follow
ing along this line and by preparii.g the
material to bo consumed , us nature does In
the human body , we- may yet bo able to reach
the desired end with economy ? Wo have la
this cell conditions which are analogous to
thceo taking place In the human system , at
Icaut to the extent that carbon la and can
be oxidized at the normal temperatures under

nil-good things In nature , It will come through
many trials and failures. The struggle for
existence will perfect It , but there Is no
known law which jndlcatcs that we are dealIng -
Ing with the Impossible. "
At the close of the lecture there was a
general discussion , and after that many of
the audience stayed to ask questions regarding
the practical application of the cxp6rlments.
To them Mr. CMC was careful to explain
that hla experiment was without Immediate
commercial value.
"It Is not along that line that I have been
working , " ho said. "Tho chemicals used
are too expensive for general use. My en
deavor has been to show that wo can trans
form the potential energy of the carbon Into
electricity without waste. There arc many
agents which can bo used , and , with experi
ment , will como the discovery of some agent
cheap enough for .general use. Then the
solution of the problem given hero wilt be
practically applied and steam will become

only crossed the boundary lino. Ahead Ho

ELECTIUCAL nunoLAnins.
In recent experiments an are of forty to
fifty volts' , with a current of 300 to EOO
amperes , penetrated In three to ten minutes
safe walla three to six Inches thick. Aa a
demonstration of the masses of metal which
could bo operated upon , a rough steel Ingot ,
perhaps six by seven by ten Inches , was
penetrated with n diagonal jagged hole from
one and one-half to three and one-half
Inches In diameter , the thickness of metal
pierced being about eight or nine Inches.
What construction , asks the Electrical
Ilovlew , can resist this concentration of
heat ? The hardest steel Is penetrated as
easily , even more easily , than the softest
Iron , while the cast metala used In the
heretofore Invulnerable safes melts and
runs like water , making , from Its very na
ture , an easier safe to open than those
built of the rolled metal , which , as Is well
known , remains plastic under a high degree
of heat , and has not the tendency to How
from ttio arc and leave an entirely unob
structed passage. In penetrating the
wrought-lron or mild steel itwas frequently
necesnary to allow the arc to play on the
semi-plastic mass bslng melted , to keep
It from congealing nnd preventing
further progress. This took a somewhat
longer time. The cast safes , owing to the
fact that the metal was necessarily .designed
to flow , in order that the safe could be cast
from the pattern , did not resist the arc nearly
as long for a plvcn penetration. The metal
readily flowed and a hole largo enough to
permit the safe to be- opened was quickly
made , this without undue noise or aught to
give warning.
Hut what typo of alarm would or could
prevent the gnawing of a hole In the safe-
plates by the devouring arc ? The answer
lies In a recently published Invention for
constructing prison doors and window grat
ings. The Idea , as remembered , was to make
them of ordinary steel pipes , all filled with
a liquid under pressure , and connected by a
main pipe with an alarm , which would ope
rate by reduction of pressure. Attempted
sawing lets the liquid escape and rings the
bell. If such a scheme were applied to a
safe , by traversing It on all sides , either In
side the outer plates or outside , and were
connected ! with an , alarm set on a lamppost
prominent on the sidewalk. It ought to come
near being good protection.
ELECTRICALLY OPENED DOORS.
Ono may bo tempted to ask whether It in
worth while to arrange a door so that It will
open automatical- when you step on a mat
before It , and will close when your foot
presses another mat beyond. Dut whatsver
opinions may bo entertained on this point , ,
the fact that electrical apparatus for thus
operating a door has been invented la at
least worth recording. A notsd lunchroom
In Chicago and the city market In Springfield ,
Mass. , each have double doors equipped In
this manner.
Over the doorway Is placed a suitable box
Inclosing magnets and machinery. From this
box extends downward a rod , from which n
horizontal nrmTreaches" along the door. Forces
at work within the box twist the rod and
swing the door to and fro. When UN door
Is closed there are some ? tlff springs al
ready celled up and trying to pull it open.
It cannot move , however , until n certain
band which Is wound up on a drum has been
released. The Immediate effect of stepping
on the mat Is to close an electric circuit
which frees that band. Th ° n the iprlngs
swing the door open. When you step on the
other mat , another clectrls circuit Is closed ,
which seta a current flowing through a
small electric motor. This puts a drum or
spool In motion , winds up the hilt and draws
the door shut. The motor Is more powerful
than the springs , so that In closing the dour
It brings the springs again Into a state of
tension sufficient to do their work over again
as eoon as a chance occurs. Just before the
door rsachca a closed position , a switch Is
automatically moved , vhlch shuts off the
electric current from the motor.
Where this apparatus la applied to double
doors the outside mat will open the right-
hand door , but close the left-hand one , while
the Inside mat cloasoa the rlsM-hand door ,
but opens the left-hand ono.

NOTHING TO SAY BUT WORDS
Qualities JfeorsHnry ( n Achieve Suc-

Defect * nn nti Orator The
Atlnnta KroKl.
Senator John J. Ingalls ot Kansas returned
to Atchleon a few days ago from a lecturing
tour , which Included Atlanta , Ga. , and other
points In the south and cast. Referring to
the announcement that Vf , J. Uryan had
abandoned his lecture tour , and would here
after devote his efforts to bimetallism , Mr
Ingalls talked as follows to a corresponded
of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat :
"Coincidence of three things Is necessary
to a great speech. There must bo a speaker
an occasion and an audience , either sympa
thetic or hostile. Of these the audience Is
perhaps the most Important. Shakespeare
who says everything better than _ anybody
else , hits the truth when ho makes Hosallni
declare that
A Jest's prosperity lies In the cnr
Of him that henrs It , never In the tongue
Of him that makes It.
"This Is as true ot an oration as It Is of a
Joke. The prosperity ot fl speech lies In the
cars ot the audience ; never In the tongue
of the orator. Of course , powerful speeches
have been delivered to listless hearers
Durko's magnificent efforts emptied the House
ot Commons , though they will bo read by
scholars till the minset of time as models ol
sonorous , rich and majestic eloquence. It
tvas said of Rutus Cnoato that ho would ap
pear before some probate Judge In a dingy
office , with no spectators , and blaze along
the pathway of the stars with as much
energy nnd display ns though he were com
manding the applause ot listening senates.
Quito likely , Demosthenes , with his mouth
ful of pebbles , delivered powerful harangues
against the fluctuating clamors of the In
articulate seas ; but It remains true , as pop
ularly considered , that the great effective
speeches of the world have been made by
the hcarcra quite as mucn as by the era
tor.
THE CROSS OF GOLD SPEECH.
' "This was pre-eminently true of Bryan's
speech at Chicago , which will probably stand
as a historic example among the conspicuous
oratorical triumphs of the nineteenth cen
tury. Taken as an Intellectual effort , the
address was distinctly commonplace. II
had neither depth , coherence nor originality.
Its platitudes were the 'canned goods' of
the trade. Its ornaments were tinsel. Its
climax was borrowed , without credit. But
notwithstanding these defects and Infirmities ,
Judged by results , It must bo taken as one
of the most remarkable achievements of our
times. Its prcsperlty was In the car ot the
convention , not in the tongue ot Bryan. He
was like the rod that conducted the bolt from
the surcharged thundercloud. Ho said at
the opportune Instant what the frenzied mul
titude wanted to utter. He was the crater
ot the volcano ; the vor.tex ot the cyclone.
Ho was the central figure In an unpremedi
tated drama. He culminated In that tre
mendous episode which cannot be duplicated.
' "Opportunity knocked ! at his gate , and ho
heard and obeyed the summons. The cam
paign that followed was hysterical and la
borious. Thronging myrlada assembled , ex
pecting to have the miracle at Chicago re
peated In their presence. They listened
with Incredulity and consternation to the me
chanical declamation ot an actor reciting
familiar phrases. Wherever he appeared
Dryan sank In public estimation , not through
any fault ot his own , but fcecauso the people
ple had measured him by their Imagination
and not by their Judgment. They'demanded
the impossible , and ho emerged , from his
unprecedented carivass with the verdict that
he was a versatile , commonplace , shallow
politician and not a great , inspired , popular
leader and trlbuno ot the people. Bryan Is
what Mrs. Partlngton called a very 'fluid
speaker. ' Facility of speech Is a fatal gift.
The man who , without much meditation ,
study and forethought , can depend upon an
uninterrupted flow ot language before an
audience on any subject with which ho Is
but Imperfectly acquainted , Is exposed to a
woll-nlgh Irresistible temptation to mental
Indolence. The disposition to rely on the In
spiration of the moment grows with Indul
gence and at last becomes the habit of the
mind.
THE ATLANTA FROST.
"From what I heard at Atlanta I should
Judge that Bryan came to that engagement
without much preparation. Not long before
the hour ho professed to be In doubt what
he should say , though this may have been
ono ot the tricks of the business. Henry
Winter Davis used to eomo sauntering into
the house of representatives at Washington
with his overcoat on hit arm and his hat
In his hand , lounge In his seat as If It was
his purpose to remain only a moment , Just
when some measure which ho had previously
learned was coming up ; whereupon ho would
address the chair , express surprise and
launch out Into nn apparently extempora
neous speech that had been elaborately prepared -
pared for the occasion. Roscoe Conkllng nnd
Matt Carpenter were not wholly devoid of
such artifices , designed to Impose on the
crcduloue , and to deepen the effect of their
really great powers , by the 'impression of a
miraculous or supernatural endowment that
separated them from the role of common
men ,
"But the quality ot Bryan's speech at At
lanta exonerates him from the imputation
of stage play , because It did not reach a
high level In any part. Ho had a largo house
and his reception was cordial , but the gen
eral verdict of friends and opponents was
unfavorable. The material of the discourse
-was not novel , nor was Its treatment original.
The delivery was slng-songy and monoto
nous. Illustration , epigram , rhetoric , were
absent. The temperature of the audience
sank lower and lower till It reached zero.
The sllenco was so oppressive that the fall
of the mercury In the tube of the thermom
eter would have been as audlblo as the dis
charge of a park of artillery. As the an
ticipations of Bomo Inspiring thought , some
thrilling'sentence , some Impassioned climax
vanished away , gloom settled upon the audi
ence lllto night on a landscape , and a popular
Idol loft the stage dethroned and uncrowned.
EXPECTING TOO MUCH.
"Men whoso fame has been won dn politi
cal fields or In public affairs as a rule do not
succeed on the lyccum platform , for rea
sons that are obvious. The resentments en
gendered In partisan battles accompany them
and they continue to bo subjects of lnd-lf-
[ ercnco or aversion to those whom they have
antagonized , so that the constituency Is
llmltoJ practically from the beginning to
those with whom they have been politically
Identified.
"Then , too , the reputation of the speaker
large or small , precedes him and he Is con
fronted by nn audience critical and ex
pectant , whoso minds are made up , whose
estimation Is preconceived , and who are pro.
pared to Judge and measure the orator not
so much by what ho says or does In their
presence as by what they Imagine he has
said or done elsewhere. He Is contrasted and
compared with himself under Incompatible
conditions. The passionate tumult nnd ex
ultation of the stump and the forum the
environment of the- gladiator , cannot be
transferred to the calm , dldactlo precincts of
the lecture platform , eo that the result la
usually depressing to the speaker and dis
appointing to hlii hearers.
LYCEUM DECADENCE.
"Besides , the varagraphors of the press
have cast some aspersions upon the lyccum
which have hurt It In public estoam. For
merly It was a great vehicle of Instruction ,
a medium of communication between prophr
ets and teachers and the people. The period
from 1850 to 1&70 was notable for the oc-
Ivlty of men like Phillips , Bethunc , Chapln ,
Garrison , Sumner and others of similar
rank , who delivered messages of tremendous
deus Import upon the questions of that
day from the lecture platform. But In re
cent years ( bo degeneration haa been ac
celerated by the amusement mongers , who
urulsh a hetcrogcneoui Jumbleof lec
turers , singers , impersonators , reciters and
prestldlgltaleurg for courses of eutertaln-
nenta at so much per head , with window
hangers , circulars and other advertising
natter thrown in. Taking advantage of the
nnoccnt and legitimate curiosity to see and
tear men famous , infamous and notorious ,
; hese purvejora of public recreation dis
patch upon disastrous tours political freak ;
and decadents , dialect story , tellvru
pools , professional clowns and globe-trol

forcnco between thcser'.ftvctltloug methods o
working the public andltho response to a
natural demand for a * speaker who Is sup
posed , to have something to say that tli
people want to hear.
"Bryan also made in mistake In placing
himself In the handset "a. speculating syn
dtcatc , to bo put on 'exhibition for $1,00
n night guaranteedjjtml a halt Interest In
the rest ot the box receipts. The transac
tlon seems Incongruous .with the great Btn

said that there were two clatscs of people
between whom the believers In Judlasm oc
cupied < a middle ground , half way between
the orthodox Christians and those who ab
solutely denied Christianity. In speaking
of the orthodpx class be said that such said
the Jew bad no right to use the term re
ligion. For this ho condemned the orthodox
Christian , ilo took to tsak the archbishop
ot Canterbury , who in 1S93 declined to par
ticipate in the World's Fair Parliament of
Religions because ho held that Christianity
could not concede anything to any other
religion. The lecturer denounced such ac
tions as examples of Illiberal liberalism ,
and eald it was intolerance and arrogant
assumption that Christianity alone was right
and all other forms of religion wrong.
Ho said the only axiom in religion was
"tho absolute iucomapatlblllty of right and
wrong. " "It Is not for us to eny what acts
ro right and what are wrong. What may
lo right for the gno may bo wrong for the
other. Right and wrong are relative terms.
Why religion at all then ? you ask In the
) rthodox world. Our answer Is because our
Ifo and our religion are synonymous. We
cannot have the ono without the other. "
Considering the eamo question from the
standpoint ot unbelief , Rabbi Franklin said :
"A brief survey of the world of unbelief
shows a circle composed very largely of
: hose who have had Just a tsato or rellfj
ous knowledge , Juot enough to prove dan
gerous. They have read , perhaps , the pref
ace or Introductions to a few treatises on
religion. This denial of God and of the potency
of religion is most usually found in the
class that has been well denominated 'the
ittlo scientists.1 They assume an air ol
wondrous knowledge. They can see no nec
essity for religion. To them wo make an
swer to the query before us In the same
words as wo answered the orthodox , bellev-
ng that oppcsltes are guilty of the same
nlstakc. Why religion at all ? Because our
' Ifo and our religion are synonymous , there-
'oro we must have our religion. It Is the
nfuslon of right into our lives that consti
tutes our religion. "

A fair-sized audience greeted Jtr. Lewis
Morrison at the Crdlghton last evening when
ho returned often an absence ot several sea
sons ( o pressnt "Faust. " The play Itself
has been seen too many times by Omaha
theater-goers to need any comment. The
accessories In the way ot stage setting and
mechanical effects have been Improved con
siderably sltico Mr. Morrison's last visit In
fact , the piece IB very well mounted , Mr.
Morrison as Mcphlsto well sustained the repu
tation ho has earned In the role , but was
compelled to share the honors ot the evenIng -
Ing with members of his supporting com
pany. .Slnco-lts last appearance , Miss Morri
son has given place In the cast to Miss
Atlcen Dcrtellc , as Marguerite. She look *
as well as acts the part of youthful Innocence
and In the more. Impassioned lines fully sus
tained herself In the good opinion ot the
audience which she had won. In the opening
scenes. As Faust , Mr. White Whlttlescy
was thoroughly acceptable , and Mr. Lorlmer
Johnstone as Valentino presented a creditable
bit of acting In the only scene where his
abilities are called upon to any extent. Taken
altogether , the supporting company Is a
strong one , nnd ably seconds the efforts ot
'Mr. ' Morrison In giving a well-rounded per
formance. Ono pleasing feature was that
the music was much better than Is usually
hoard In performances which are- not ot
such n character as to make music their
principal feature. In the first ) act a trio by
the students was particularly good , and drew
out n double encore. The eamo bill will be
presented at the Crclghton tonight and to
morrow night.
For the first half of the week commencing
Sunday matinee , the offering at Doyd's will
ba the Twentieth Century Minstrels. This
organization IncUides over thirty perform
ers , and promises a sparkling bill of music ,
danccp , drills and specialties. The dearth
of minstrel shows that haa existed nnd the
reduced prices that will prevail , seems to
warrant the anticipation of a big turn-out
for these performances.
Ctesy Fitzgerald In "Tho Foundling" filled
Hoyt's theater. New York , for nearly 200
nights , and held the metropolis In a thrall
during that period. She dances even better ,
It Is said , In "Tho Foundling" than she
did when she made her first sensation with
"A Gaiety Girl. " The naughty little twinkle
and her high kicking Is described as n
graceful performance. "The Foundling" IB
a three-act farce by the author of "Jane , "
William Lestocq. and 13. M. Kobson. It was
originally produced at Terry's theater , Lon
don , nnd afterwards at Hoyt's theater , New
York. It comes for the first time to the
Crelghton under the direction of Charles
Frohman on Tuesday , March 9 , for one night
only.
"Chums , " a new one-act farce , will be
presented as a curtain raiser. Seats will be

Ono of the most deeply rooted super
stitions of the theatrical profession Is that
the successful run of a play at one theater
must riot be Interrupted by Its removal to
another playhouse. In nlnoly-nlno cases oul

lias followed. In defiance of this superstition ,
however , Charles Hopper , when his ex
traordinarily successful engagement In
"Chlmmlo Fadden" nt the Garden theater ,
New York , was brought to an end last win
ter , owing to previously existing contracts
by the theater , moved his play , company
and scenery over to the Standard theater ,
where he ran along with great prosperity ,
until May , playing , ' In all 110 times In New
York City. "Chlmmlo Fadden" will bo
seen at Boyd's Thursday and Friday even

will close with a matinee on Saturday.

Explanation for Almoncc of the Cabl-
iiot from IiiiiiiKiirul Ceremony.
WASHINGTON , March 5. The failure of
President Cleveland's cabinet to attend the
Inaugural In front of the capltol yesterday
and the absence of Secretary Olnoy from
the whole ceremony , which has been con
strued In some circles as an Indication of
friction between Sir. Cleveland and his prime
minister as well ns a lack of consideration
of the cabinet on the part of the new ad
ministration , was really duo to some slight
oversight on the part of persons charged with
the preparation of the- program , for which
neither the old nor the now administration
can be held responsible. There Is no es
tablished precedent for the attendance of the
cabinet of the retiring president at the In
duction of hta successor Into ofllce , and
when It was noticed by the cabinet members
that no place had been set down for them In
the oiricl.il line of escort to the capltol , they
had no feeling on the subject and were pre
pared to accept the plan gracefully. However -
over , It was deemed best to call the atten
tion of the senate committee to this mat
ter and this was done , but a further lapse
occurred some.where and provision was nol
made for them. Before the escorts starlet
for the capltol the omission was discovered
by General Porter and President McKlnlej
himself and the cabinet was placed In a
proper position In the line as Mr. iMcKluloy's
personal escort , all save Secretary Olnoy
who could not be reached In time with news
of ths arrangements. The idea that ho
absented himself from the whlto house be
cause of a rupture of the relations betweer
himself and President Cleveland Is scouts
by the friends of both. It is probably true
that there had been a difference of opinion
between the secretary and the president , as
to the transmission of the correspondence
In.tho Itulz case to congress , but there was
nothing approaching a rupture of friendly
relations and the president and hla secre
tary parted on good terras.
There was another hitch In the proceed
ings at the capltol , which unfortunately
added to the Impression that the cabinet
had been slighted. Thla was at the time
when the assemblage In the senate chamber
was about to repair to the Inaugural plat
form outside. There were no seats provided
ror the cabinet , by an oversight ; so , upon
leaving the chamber , the members who had
already arranged to take- luncheon with
Secretary Lament went directly to his resl-
lonco on Lafayette square Instead of going
aut on the platform.
The following letter from the senate com-
nlttee on foreign relations to Secretary Olney
explains how LllluokalanI obtained access to
the senate during the pioceodlngs :
"Ex-Queen LllluokalanI la desirous of wit
nessing tbo Inauguration of the president
ind vice president-elect on the fourth of
March and she haa made application through
tier friends for two scats , ono for herself
ind ono for her escort. It Is .Impossible for
ho committee of arrangements to provldo
hwo places except In the diplomatic gallery ,
jut as the tickets to the gallery are to bo
sent to you for distribution the committee
lees not feel at liberty to assign these scats
0 any ono. It Is , however , the Judgment
) f the committee on arrangements that you
irovldo seats for the cx-tueen | out of the
ilxty to bo cent you- for the ueo of the dlp-
omatlo corps. "

LONDON , March G. It IB generally bo-
lleved that a war between Greece and Tur
key Is Imminent. The decision of Greece to
defy the powers Is confirmed on all sides.
It Is generally felt In England that the dis
patch , signed by 100 liberal and Irian national
members of the Iiouso of Commons , which
was sent last evening to the king of Greece ,
expressing sympathy with his efforts and
the efforts of the Grce't nation In behalf o
Crete , was a great mistake , and that It will
only mislead the king and nation Into tha
bollef that Great Ilritaln will not Join tha
other powers In coercive measures.
The Westminster Gazette ( liberal ) says :
"When the king receives this sympathetic
message ho will do well to observe that the
government has a. majority of ICO In the
House of Commons. If ho understands the
bearing of this , and If ho knows that the
British government can only be diverted
from Its decision by an adverse vote of the
House of Commons , which there Is appar
ently not the slightest chauco of obtaining ,
ho will better understand tbo value of thla
message. "
The Dally News cxprcescs Itself In a simi
lar tone , and saya : "Armed Intervention by
Great Ilritaln In behalf of Greece would
simply mean war to enforce the difference
between ubsolulo autonomy In Crete and Ita
Incorporation with Greece. "
The attitude of the Greek officials In Lon
don Is in out determined. The consul general
for Gropco , M , Leon Mrsslncsl. In an Inter
view with a representative of the Associated
press today , eald there was not the least
probability of Greece yielding to the demands
of the powers. Ho added that the fact that
another 40,000 men of the reserves were
called out yesterday shows that Greece in ran 3
to end the present situation , Greece , lie
rontliiued. has recently spent largo sums on
her frontier defenses , which are now In good
order. Another odlclal 'of the Greek consul
ate remarked that If the powers carry out
their threat to try to dUlodKo the Greek
troops In Crete , they will have to land 5,000
men to do ku.
Ho added * "Uvon then our tree ; > j will
tight for qvrry Inch of ground. Wo have
stood tills as long us possible. In aplto of
the llnlep act and other schemes the situa
tion In CreteIs worse than ever. If Greece
Is bankrupt It IH because she has bad to
support the fugitive Cretans. The powora
cannot starve out the Greeks In Cieto , as
the coast is too extensive for an cffcctlvo
blockade , and small vi'raels will he able to
run the blockade. In any cane , the Greeks
lave enough food for a month , and wn won't
) o called cowards , even If we are obliterated
'rom the map of Ilurope , Wo urn prepared
