New York, Aug. 5. Senator Peffer, of Kansas, lectured yesterday at Prohibition park, Staten Island, on "The Labor Question, a Moral Question." To an interviewer the senator said: "The silver question is the leading question of the hour, but at present, in the West, the agitation is dying.

This has been strongly marked during the last six or eight weeks. I think it but a temporary check, however, and the sentiment is strong with the people. Still, there are no more public meetings now, and the discussion that continues is put up by the newspapers alone. "I think," said he, "that the silver men in the Democratic and Republican parties will be swamped when it cmnes to elections.

He has three forty-five Winchester bullets in his person, two of which are lodged in 'his intestines. When told that he was bound to die, he made a partial statement, admitted his identity and requested that his father be sent for. His father, William Wyatt, lives near Guthrie, this territory, and is known as "Six Shooting Bill." He is a tall, muscular old man, and when in his cups is in the habit of making a hot house for the loafers. Zip Wyatt, the bandit, is the only one of the Dalton gang who made his escape from the raid at Coffeyville, Kan. He was wounded at the Dover robbery, and was the leader at the Red Rock train robbery on the Santa Fe.

He has assisted in a score or more of murders, and perhaps 100 robberies of banks, store and private families. More than 500 people visited the jail yesterday to see him, many of whom positively identified him. A deputy United States marshal stated that the pursuing and capture of Zip Wyatt had cost the United States government some ten or twelve brave officers and not less than $50,000.

The next year his ship was employed in transporting the English soldiers for Wellington's army across the channel from Southampton to Antwerp, and it was at this time that he accidentally witnessed Waterloo. In 1818 he entered the East India merchant service, and for many years voyaged in the Atlantic and Indian oceans, making many trips around the Cape of Good Hope to Delphi, Calcutta and Bombay. In 1S20 he made his first voyage to America in a sailing vessel. It required twelve weeks to cross the stormy Atlantic. then lie has crossed the Atlantic twenty-three times.

Mr. Green was in a reminiscent mood when seen by a correspondent, and talked interestingly of the great battle. "I was a midshipman in June, 1S15, on one of King George's transport ships," he said, "and with the other 'middies' started across Belgium to join the English troops. "We came first to Ligny, where the preliminary battle of that terrible week in Belgium took place. That fight was between the Prussians under Blucher and Napoleon's veterans.

The conflict did not last long, but it stands as one of the most desperate fights of history. Blucher was compelled to give way, and his retreat was almost a rout. Flushed with success, Napoleon pushed on to his fate at Quatre-Bras and attacked the outposts of the English on the 17th. "At Quatre-Bras Napoleon was repulsed, falling back to Waterloo that night, where he determined to make his final stand. "On the morning of the 18th, with a sea glass wrhich we had taken with us, we stood on the heights some distance away from Waterloo and took in the whole scene.

unuiuivu Lii improved forms of electric motors iovA urer of this county from collectinsr standard Weighs Twelve Pounds. In trying to get up a motor suitable for an airship an inventor has evolved a lazy man's bicycle. All the exertion that is required of the rider is to keep his balance and steer the machine. The power that propels it is furnished by a hot-air apparatus so light that it adds only twelve pounds to the weight of the machine, and so simple that it does not mar the symmetry of the wheel in the eyes of the bicycle crank. W.

R. Keep and the inventor took a spin down Michigan boulevard yesterday afternoon on the first motor tandem ever seen in Chicago. They attracted no end of attention. This tandem will really carry three persons two adults and a child. The total weight of the machine in traveling order is seventy-three pounds.

This tandem has already covered 8,000 miles. It has been speeded up to forty-five miles an hour, and in tests has climbed 10 per cent grades, and has run successfully through mud, sand and snow. The power mechanism is composed of two hot-air engines carried on the rear of the frame, one on each side of the rear wheel. These engines ar inches in diameter fncl mcnes stroke. A nickeled nk in front of the operator carries the coal oil, which is conveyed through the frame to the cylinders, where it is mixed with air.

A small primary battery, the same as is used with ordinary door bells, is carried in the tool bag, from which a copper wire leads to the interior of the engines. It is a well known law that rapid evaporation of any fluid produces cold, the more rapid the evaporation the more intense the cold. This engine utilizes this principle. The first or backward movement of the piston or plunger pumps the engine full of air and at the same time admits the desired charge of coal oil. The same movement produces an electric spark which vaporizes the coal oil and cools the engine.

The second or forward movement of the piston compresses this compound of oil and air into one end of the cylinder, when just as the piston starts backward another electric spark explodes the vapor, thus producing power. The admission valve is opened mechanically every other time, thus allowing the burnt gases to escape. The forward wheel is 22 inches in diameter, the rear wheel 20 inches. Both are fitted with 4-inch pneumatic tires. Speed is regulated by, throttling the oil supply.

Jn making a stop or in holding up on a down grade it is only necessary to shut off the oil supply and the electric current; the engines then act as an automatic brake. The motor cycle ridden by W. A. Maltby at Elmira, N.Y., a few days ago made a mile on a straightway track in, 58 seconds. The rider's feet may rest on the coasters or pedals as preferred.

The pedals do not revolve as on the ordinary bicycle, but are operated with a ratchet, and will not move when the feet are kept still. Chicago Tribune, 01M WrCblrlU I ondarrorTer.
