Experiments with a new process somewhat similar to the celebrated Roentgen or X-riiy are being conducted in great secrecy at a Berlin institute, according: to a coramtin iratior, received at the state department from Consul Guenther at Fra ikfort, Germany. The new species of ray are called Baciueret rays, after the;r dis coverer a French chemist, who first put his discovery before the public ia 1S95. In the furore which the Roentgen ravs created in the medical worid these Bacqu-ret rays were lost sight of. The experiments are said to have disclosed the fact that an entirely new element Is responsible for the Bacqueret ravs and that they rendr almost every "trans parent object luminous in the darkness. (-ons -1 General Guenther sava that the new rays make it possible to distinguish penuitie diamonds from artificial ones in the dUirk. which fact would prove of great practical importance in testing. The experiments, it is stated, also have demonstrated thut rays emanating from large quantity of the new element make the air such a conductor of electricity as to jiromlse that the property can be utilized in wireless teieeraphv. The re sults of the experiments, it is stated, will b" laid before Emperor William, 'which." says the consul general, "seems trt indicate that the discovery is regard ed as one of great importance."

Sorry For Recent Display of Force in Souse of Commons. , TCew Tork, March 8 Sir Henry Camp-bell-Bannerman, Liberal leader in the house of commons, and Mr. John Red mond, the leader of the Irish party, dis cuss the recent scenes In the house in special cable dispatches to the Journal and Advertiser. The Liberal leader says: "Many cir cumstances of our life and condition of society rest upon physical force, which is a rather humiliatina: fact. The rules of the house of commons, which usually work so quie-tly equally rest for -ultimate authority on force. It seems to me that the display of force the other night was repulsive to the feeling of everyone of us and certain not to add to the dig nity and credit of the house. "The introduction into the house of a body of police struck a heavy blow at our' disrnity. Letral, not physical force, should be employed In future, and mem bers would then obey without a mur mur. Their idea3 of their independence would then be vindicated. By suspend ing members for the whole session the government practically disfranchises their constituencies." Mr. Redmond says: "The enactment of a penal provision such aa suspending members in what professes to be a free assembly i3 a hateful, degrading pro eeedir;. In consequence of the hurried application of closure on Tuesday night there was a natural ebullition of ftel ins on the part of Irishmen. I give my unqualified and absolute denial that it was premeditated. "The whole moral responsibility for what occurred rests on Balfour. No gov ernment ever gained by parliamentary sharp practice. Such attempts recoil on those who use them. Year by year par liament has been lowered and degraded. "After robbing Ireland of her parlia ment, having compelled us to come across the water to an English parlia ment, it is some consolation to Irishmen that the price to be paid is so. high and bitter a one."
