Washington, Feb. 16.-At the conclusiuu of the morning hour in the senate today, when the un finished business-the shipping bill-was laid before tho body, Mr. Spooner of Wiecousin moved to proceed to the consideration of the olemargariue bill. By a practi cally unanimous vote-only 'wu senators voting iu the negative the motion prevailed. Tba.-? the subsidy bill was displaced rs the unfinished business and the oleo margarine bill was placed in that order. After little over an hour's consideration of that measure it was laid aside in order that unob jected bills on tho calendar might be cotiside'ed. Noariy 300 bille, including 197 private pension bills were passed during the day. In the absence of Mr. Frye, pres ident pro tem., who is confined at bis apartments by illness, Mr. Per kins of California occupied the chair at the opening of today's session. Mr. Jones ol' Arkansas offered a resolution discharging the com mittee on the judiciary from the consideration of the so-called an ti-trust bill and providing that it ahould be considered by the sen ate. The resolution went over un til Monday. On motion of Mr. Allison the senate decided to consider until 1 o'clock unobjected bills on the calendar. Under that order the following bills wcr9 passed: Authorizing the Carolina North ern Railroad company to construct a bridge across the Lumber river at Lu in berton, N. C.; to amend ihe acts for the protection of birds and the preservation of game and fish and for the prevention of their sale during certain closed seasons in the District of Columbia ; per mitting the transportation by steam vessels of gasoline and oth er products of petrol -um when car ri?d by automobiles; providing that it shall be a misdemeanor for a civilian to refuse to appear and testify before n ^onrtmartial. KILLING THE SHIP BILL. At 1 o'clock the ship subsidy bill, as the unfinished business, was laid before the senate. In stantly Mr, Spooner of Wisconsin demanded recognition and moved that the senate proceed lo the con sideration of what is known as the oleomargarine till. The motion was agreed to, 45 to 2, Seuator* Chilton of Texas and Vest of Mis souri casting tho only votes in the negative. Mr. Hale of Maine appealed to Mr, Proctor in view of the almost unanimous vote by wbicb Ute ol'* omargariue b il wog taken up, U permit a vote to be taken upon th< measure immediately. Half a dozen Democrats wet? oi their fe? t at once. Mr. Berry, guia iug recognition, said : "I want tr. say to the senator from yamo that the almost unanimous vote to take up the bill was net because thi senate is unammouslv in favor ol it, but it WRB in order to g^r, rid of Ret asitl? and giue a bl ft ck ?ye tr j the ship subsidy bill." j A joint r?solu lion ratifying nu ?agreement between Tennessee ?od Virginia as to tho boondan- be tween the two bi ates vat papped Mr. Proctor of Vermont, chair man of the committee on agricul ture, from which the oleomarga rine bill was reported, made e statement as to the bill. The discussion took ? rather hu? moron? turu when Mr Proctor and Mr. Tillman began aoniparii.j their respective experienoes it dairying. Mr. Proctor sud h? milked 250 cowi and hid had 5C years of dairy experience. EDGEFLELD'S GENTLE COW HERD. Mr. Tillman said he used to car ry his butter to markMt every Sic urday, and that be weot from thc dairy to the goveiTor1* chair. Tbc South Carolina senator .?aid that the restrictions ou coloring should apply to butter and oleomargarine alike, and he caused much amuse meut by ihe vehemence cf his de? nunciation of "axle grease" and all "other decorations, concoction! and entraptious put off oa tbs* public," although he held that if k purchaser wanted "axle grenue" he was entitled to have- it. "The senator spoke of the kiud of bot ter that was so strong that a man had to put a brick in tba tcp of hil hat to get the taste ont of the roo? of his mouth. Withopt completing the bill, it waa laid aside for the purpose of taking up uuobjected house billa. Among the billa passed were th? following; To incorporate the National So ciety of the United Daughters of 1812; to pay $2.000 to the trustees BAY STA' DOKUS: ^ of Holson seminary at Nowmtr ket, Tenn., for the occupation ot' their property by United ?iates troops durin-: the civil war, to pay $5.000 to the rrustif-s ol Car 8;u-Nevvm?n college at Mossy Creek, Tenn., for damages done the institution by United States troops docing the civil wp.r; :o enable the prer?deur. to detail r? tired ofiicera of the army and navy to assist in mi litar' instruc tion in schoolp; eu thor i ?ii g the construction ul c. bridge by >:he Mobile and Wear A Itt ari..

Now York, Feb. 16-If Nikola Tesla ke?pB tb? promise mad* yesterday in Lis behalf,' and per soually subscribed to by himself, the world is on the eve of seeing one of the moet marvellous ad vai? oes in electric science ever made. Wire! ra telegrij-by across the oc<?a?l This,;. i a s^atoace, is what mis man whom Professor Slaby, of Berlin, caJlg the "father. Cf wireless telegraphy," says that be is prepared to give. The plans for machiuery have been perfect ed, the site? for the terminals selected, and work on the great world-stirring project is about to bi actively begun. So mach Mr. Teila soyB. but where the sites are to bf or what financial backing be has the inventor decinee to state. An intimate friend of his said yesterday that the device which h? will us* foi ^ending message^-. acroRd the ocean 1? the same, with modifications, w'jich be designed and patented two vears ago for the lrai:smisB??ju of power through natural inedia. He has exper ?meo ted with nis machine in the Rocky mountains, and knows by actual tests what he can do. He expects that the time required to perfect his apparatus will be about ei^ht mouths. DESCRIBES THE APPARATUS. In describing this apparatus Mr. Tesla says that it has b*en w?*U knowu heretofore that if the ;?.ic inclosed iu a vessel be rarefied ita insulating properties are impaired to ?-ach an extent that it becomes what may be considered a true conductor of electrity, al though of admittedly high re stanc?. This is the principle be has*seized upon to rar.ke the proper machinery for developing and re c*ivin? the electrical energy, and to get i hat en<?g5 up into a .stratum of air sufficiently rarefied to con duct the current. "J h;ive devised rneaus," he says, re st?ees Direct from the No Jobbers Profits. St MIMS. "whereby Tum enabled to generate elect! ical press ares measured by hundreds of thousauds, and even millions, of vol'.s, and have dis covered certain highlv important and useful factn. "Among these and. bearing directly upou the invention are the following: First, that with electrial pressure of the magnitude and charactf r which I have made *t poanible to produce, the ordinary Umospl.ere brinies, in a measure, e nable of aumug KS a true con (facto? for for the 4ran?mis?iou of the current. DIKF15RB FROM MARCONI 8YSTEM. "Second, that the conductivity of the air increases so materially with the incerase of electrical I>re?6ure and degree of rarefaction ?hat it bicomiM possible to tran, smit through even moderately rarefied strata of the atmosphere eiectnoal energy up to practically any amount and any distance." It ? ould be difficult to describi? | Mr. Tesla's apparatus so that the lay mind could comprehend it. Its tuarn features are a transmitt ing apparatus of great power a': the sending station anda transfor mer at the receiving station of similar formation. The terminals j are to be elevated al corresponding j heights. Mr, Tesla mentions balloon* as poassible terminals, but in his experimental station in Colorado he u?ed discs or balla on fop of high poles. His invention differs from tho Marconi system in many ways, one of which seems tc be the tremendous power developed by the Tesla apparatu. While the j Marconi ay tem ia limted to com paratvely short distances, the Tesla sys tem will practically | annihilate distance,.and make it aB easy to telegraph from New York to Paris as it is now from Sandy Hook to Governor's Island.
