AND PROVIDE FOR A CONFER OF AMERICAN NATIONS. THE MEANING OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BILL. Geniuses Have Patented. Washington, March 2S.—A patent for a new clock or chronometer bus J oat been granted that Is attracting considerable attention here. It is the Invention ot W.R and J. D. Gray, of Maryland, wbo claim that it can be made to ran, if necessary, for years after being once wound up. Other special features of this timepiece are that it is absolutely aolseless when in operation and does away entirely with the pendulum and balance wheel now used in clocks and watches. The naming gear, including both the striking and time mechanism, consists of. but six wheels, and it requires only one spring to propel both of these attachments. By the am of a partial self winding spring connected to two of the wheels the inventors utilize the power wasted by friction in other timepieces, thus enabling the clock to ran a much greater Isngth of time with the same motive power, or by once winding it up. The inventors threaten to work a revolution in clock making by the introduction of a perfect timepiece which, they say, because of its simplicity, Wasbinotom, March 23.—Th« attention C4 Speaker Carlisle being callad to what parported to ba an interview with him published In a Philadelphia paper, he ritsnlnlmsd all respontibility far the publication.

Governor Hill, In Approving the Act, Fays His Bespeets to Mr. Piatt. Albany, March 23.—Governor Hill has approved the Fassett bill amending the quarantine act He submitted to the senate a message with his approval, saying that the bill as originally introduced was objectionable, as it would give the health officer all fees required, except certain specified amounts paid to employes. It was deceptive in this respect, as it pretended to reduce the officer's income. As amended on motion of Mr. Linson, however, the income was really limited to $10,000, and this obviated the objection. There is says the governor, one objectionable clause, providing that the secretary shall not be appointed by the commissioners, but by the president of the board. This was evidently Inserted in view of another pending bill, wherein it is soaght to legislate Into the office of president of the board a notorious member of the present board, whoss term as quarantine commissioner has long since expired. But as such latter bill is not very likely to become a law, it does not seem proper that the one ohjectionable clause should be permitted to defeat the whole bill, though that may have been one of the purposes of its retention. A reform in quarantine matters has been steadily resisted in the legislature during the pest three yean, and the present bill affords reasonable assurance that with a. change of officials, which it is believed cannot be much longer postponed, the quarantine department will hereafter be better administered. There does not seem to be any serious constitutional question, and the bill is therefor* approved. OPORTO'S HOLOCAUST. A Brutal Knnh Among the Audlenet la the Mad Bush fur Idfe.
