they will double their forces. The Catholic

The clianeelloi's exposition of Iho German

The belief of tbo majority is that homo
politics weio moie in the clianeelloi's mind
than the possibility ot wars. The opening
of the 1'russlan Landtag to-day In the white
hall of the royal schloas was a very tame

"Certainly , " lepllca Dr. Cliarcot. "Theso
experiments are conducted under no general
directions by Dr. Dablnskl. Tills Is how Dr.
Itabinski carries them on : The subjects aio
seated back to back anil a magnet Is held to

that there should bo actual contact between
the subjects , but if there is the transmission
is more rapid than when they aio at a certain
distance Irom ono another. The experiment
of Dr. Hablnskl must bo divided Into several
categories.

"To the lirst category belong experiments
made on two young girls who stilfored from
hysterical epilepsy and exhibited all the
phenomena of cxtiemo hypnotism as they
have been described by me. The parents
weio litst hypnotized. Then Dr. Haolnski
produced , lirst In one and ' en in tlio other ,
different apparent hystei .1 symptoms of
paialysis of tlio arm and 01 the leg , coxalgla
dumbness , etc. The patient tints attacked
by an artlllcial hysterical affection is hi ought
into rapport with his companion , near whom
the magnet had been placed. The symptoms
disappear in No. 1 patient and reappear at
the same instant in No. tt. They pass thus
from ono to the other. Moreover , It Is easy ,
by suggestion , to rid No. 2 patient of tlio
affection ,

"In a second category of experiments , M.
Hablnski took male ami female patients pre
senting dillerent phases of hysteiia , not ar
tificially Induced In this case , but manifested
spontaneously that is to say. Independently
of all suggestion , such , in fact , as led to the
admission of the patients irr question into
the hospital. I lu then placed them in rap
port with ono or tlio other of the sub
jects of experiments referred to above.
Those ho hypnotised preliminarily and
at their sitlo put the magnet.
The hypnoti/ed subject thereupon at once
displayed the same manifestations of hys
teria as those of tire paticrrt at whoso side ho
had been placed , but the latter retains his
malady at the end of the experiment. M.
Halin = Ki then , by sugccstlon , relieves the
hypuoti/cd subject of the affection that has
been transmitted to him , and resumes the ex
periment by repeating the maniunvcr a
number ot times. Ho has succeeded In
several cases In bringing about an attenua
tion and even a complete euro of the malady.

"Ilero follow a few of the observations
made by M. Dablnski. In two cases ho ob
tained a complete euro ot hysteric dumb
ness. Ono ot them was of eight days and
the other of two months standing. Ho MIC-
cooded in causing the disappearance In a few
days of hysteric paralysis In tire right side
of the body of a years standing. In a
quarter of an hour , and alter four successive
experiments , ho cured a case of hcmlphllgg
that had arisen ten hours previously. The
attempt must bo oltener repeated the older

"In a third category of experiments M.
Dablnski obtained the transmission to a
hypnotized subject of certain phenomena
associated with organic affections of the ner

and cerebral liemlanthiopla in chlldicn.
These last experiments yet need completing.

The Itoman congiegallon , known as the

In them and quoting Its accounts anil views.
In the course of an editorial it says : The
announcement that there wilt bo unusual at
tractions at our jubilee regattas has aroused
gieat interest in America. Mr. Hush , owner
of the keel schooner Coronet , hns invited the
owners of similar vessels to join him In a
sweepstakes acioss the Atlantic. The owner
of the Dauntless and these of two other keel
schooners have consented to join. Wo aio
certain If they como they will have a most
hearty welcome from all the yacht clubs. It
should bo remembered that all of our impoit-
ant matches aio open to all yachts belonging
to a iccognl/cd yacht club , no matter of
what nationality , and wo have still some
schooners such as Water Witch , Oca Hollo.
Kgcrhi , Gwendoline , Ccnlonia , Corinneand
others , which could bo brought to llnoas
worthy of the antagonism of any American
keel schooners. It will boa giand thing if a
lleet of schooners does not visit us , and no
complaint carr now bo made that our title
of measurement Is unfair to American

of the United Kingdom. Captain Scovell ,
the secretary ot tlio club , this evening oblig
ingly exhibited to the Herald correspondent

through the Herald to say that If the Coronet

thus altowlnir a margin for receptions , re-

to the UKII.J It Is not at nil certain that the

ot this congtess. ( Julio a formidable opposi
tion has sprung up against It anil aheady Its
advocates are palavering among themselves
and saying that the day of consideration Is a
matter of much doubt. It was given out by
Judge Crisp this afternoon that lie would call
It up on Tuesday or Wednesday next , but ho
qualified his announcement by saylnc that
ho would do so If tin-re was a good attend
ance of members ofthe house , lie and Mr.
Outhwallo both deelaied they did no * want It
considered unless there was a full attend
ance ot the liini c , as Its fate with a small at-
tendnnco was doubtful. It Is known that
there aio many members who do not want to
bo put upon u-cord on this bill. They will be
absent when It Is considered If they are
aware of the date of Its consideration , and
for that reason It is not probable that a sulll-
clout attendance of the house will bo secured
for Mr. Crisp when It Is possible lo call It up.

Hcprcscntativo Swinburne , of New York ,

manner in which the agricultural department
has been conducted by Commissioner Cole-

duced a resolution in tim house , which was
adopted , palling upon.the commissioner tor a
detailed statement as to the work that had
been done by the department in the suppres
sion ot pleino pneumonia , and in response to
that resolution Mr. Coleman has submitted u

thinks this agricultural derartmont is very'
much at tanlt for the manner In which th3' :
Investigations as to the provalance ot
pleuro 'pneumonia have been carried on ,
and opnnlv charges that Commissioner Col-
man and Ur. Salmon , thochlet veterinarian
of the department are entirely at sea with
rcfeienco to this disease. Ho , lion ever , is
not a good speaker , and , although lie has
very sound ideas , usually finds dllllcully in
expressing himself on the floor ol' the house.
Perhaps it was lor this reason so little atten
tion was paid to what ho said dm ing the dis

VIUOINIA'S MISTAKE. "
Xovv that ,1. Randolph Tucker Is to retire
fromi congress tne people of Virginia aio ex
ceedingly soiry that they drd not elect him to
the senate to succeed Senator Mtrhono rather
than Mr. Danielslio will take his seat in
the upper house on the Ith ol next March.
Tucker 1& by all means the brightest and mcst
eloquent member from Virginia. Jlo is a
peerless speaker and Is alwavs prepared tor
debate on any subject. Unlike Daniels , he
can speak extemporaneously asell as
though he devoted weeks ol study to an argu
ment which he desired to make. Ho is , be
sides , a poor man. and Is dependent almost
entirely upon his earnings for hl.s liv
ing. The SO.OOO a year salary as
a member of the senate would bo a crcat
service to him. and it is perhaps within
the possibilities that ho may bo
chosen to succeed Senator Kldtilcbcrircr two
years hence it the Virginia legislature hap
pens to bo democratic at that time. This is
understood to have been the. programme , but
the recent surprising changes in Virginia
politics lead Mr. Tucker's Irlends to fear that
he may bo lett out In the cold and that a re
publican may bo elected to succeed Klddle-
berger after all.

It Is probable that congress will once
more adjourn without actinc upon the bill
tor the relief of William McGarrahan , who
has been knocking at the door of the capital
lor a great marry years. Mciarraharr ( claims
title to a certain tract of land irr California
which nas become very valuable on account
of the deposits of quicksilver which were
discovered on it. The lalo now vests in
parties whom McGarrahan claims have no
lertal or equitable right to It , and ho wants
congress to authorl/o him to go to the coin t
of claims tosecuro his rK'hts. The bill is
somewhat rrotor Ions because of the fact that
Speaker Keifer charged a prominent
newspaper man with having approached him
cotruptly In behalf ot McC.trralian. which
charge lie failed to prove. As to the merits
of the case there are \arlous opinions , hut
committees of the house and senate have for
veais recommended that congiess gl\o thu
claimant the right at least to present his ca&o
to a court of competent jurisdiction , Owing
to the pressure , however , ol other mailers on

hlmsell unable to obtain redress , and it Is
likely that he will bo no nearer thu attain

ho is to-day.

investigation of the books , accounts and
methods of the Pacific railroads which have
received aid from the United State ? .
Mr. Crisp ot Georgia , presented the con
ference teport on the Intcr-slato commerce
bill , slating that ho did not do so for the purpose -
pose of asking action upon it at this time ,
but in oiilrr that It might bo minted In the
record and In bill form. T'tls ' was oulercd.
Mr. Cilsp gave notice that ho would call up
the bill at the lirst opportunity.
Mr. Outhwalto of Ohio , hardyl thoucht It
necessary to say anything In favor of the
resolution. No Information had over been
rentleied to congress In ofllclal lorm by
which It could ascertain the value of Iho se
curity which the government had for the pay
ment ot Its loan to the Pacllic rallionds. In
opposing the funding bill the rentlemnn
fiom Indiana ( Holman ) , had stated that at
the end of ten years there would be a surplus
of SH 1.000.000 of thoas-etsof the companies
over their Indebtedness , but he averted that
an examination would show not n dollar of
surplus.
Mr. Crisp of Georgia gnvo notice of an
amendment dliectlng nil Inquiry as to the
kind , chaiactcr and amount ot the assets of

Issued or any guarantees of pledges without

The morning hour having expired , the
committee rose without action.
Mr. Norwood of Georgia r ° so to a question
ofpiivllego. Ho said that In the Now York
World his name appeared as having received
money from the Central Pacilic railroad. Ho
had never received any from that company ,
but did receive money for set vices as attor
ney lor the Southern Pacllic. This was after
his term as senator had expired.
The house went Into committee of the
whole on the river and haibor bill.
Mr. Hepburn of Iowa , while favoring the
system of waterway liiipiovemonts , opposed
the "swapping off" theory upon which the
bill was foiiued , and criticized severely some
ot the leatuies of the measure , especially
that which provided for tlio Improvement of

of Iho commission.
Pending further debate the committee rose.

The Coal HniuiliT'M Sir Her.
Niw : YOIEK , Jan. 15. Messrs. Kennedy
and Harris , receivers ot the Central Kallioad
company , nt Now Jersey , make public a
statement In which they say they have inves
tigated into the merits of the coal handlers'
strike , which is for an advance In wages
Irom 'JO to " > cents per hour. They llnd that
" 0 cents is the standanl price along the coast
lor such work ; that at one point 11) ) cents is
paid , at another 2'cents ! , under piessuro tote
to avoid a stake ; that at'JO cents the men
have been earning SI5 per month ; that the
labor Is unsullied ; that labor lor the same
grade forthe Now Jeisey Central load Is paid
12 cents per hour. In view ol these laets the
lecoivers say they cannot recommend to coal
companies a compliance with the stalkers'
demands. They say thuy expect woik to bo
resumed early next week with the old em-
plojes , if they will return to work at0 cents
per hour , with now ones if they refuse to re-
linn. They add that it new men are em-
plojed they anticipate rioting , not so much
by the strikers as by other evil dispysed per
sons , and they warn all such that they will
bo prepaid ! lor the emergency under protec

The Week In tlio Conitnorolnl World.
tinr.vio.lnn. 18. ( Special 1'olegiam to
the Uni : . ] Monetary affairs remain In about
Iho same condition as last week. Brokers as
a rule report a good demand for money from
all branches of trade , and the market "shows
consider able strength. llankcM have ex
tended their discount Hues considerably
within the past month and their supply of
loanable funds at present Is not verv large ,
though ample to supply the wants of legiti
mate trade. Speculators hove been only
moderate borrowers and shippers ot prodtlco
sought \cry low favots. There was some
demand from other largo cities in the west
for the purpose of carrying pioperty until
spring opens , but lutlo oulsido paper has
been accepted. Packers are limiting their
demands as much as possible and bonowlnir
less money limn usual at this season of the
year. Merchants In the wholesale trade have
asked lot some financial aid , though mainly
In the way of extension of paper , owing lo
slow collections lu some sections of the west ,
Interest rates have been well maintained at
78 percent , mainly at the Insldo tiguro for
first-class panor. Receipts of currency fioiu
the Interior wcro small and shipments to the
same quarter limited and chiclly thioucli
commission houses. Money In eastern mar
kets shows little inoie easiness , though atos
ot Interest exhibit lltllo chance. Kast-
ern exchange was In fair supply
during tlio week and the demand was only
fair. Timlin B between banks comparatively
light. Transactions were reported at ! i > cents
discount per § 1,000 to pur , and Iho market
closed quiet and steady at 'Jo cents discount
Foreign exchange attracted llttlo moro at
tention than usual and the nmikct was de
cidedly stronser. Olferlngs In eastern
maikets wcro lichtor and the demand was
iroio urgent. Kaily In the week sales of
shlppeis sixty days' documentary were made
-I7tiif@l7inf , butnear the close lallled to
lil'4Ulsii , and ruled linn. Speculation In
railroad stocks was only moderately actlyo
during the past week , with attention given
largely to specialties. Latce operators wcro
not Inclined to do much tiadlni ; pending the
discussion in eongioss ol tlio Inter-slate com-
nieico bill. Kaily In the week the maikul In
a u'cneral way was weak and prices inletl
lower for leading stocks. Toward the eloso
the feeling was tinner again , a portion ol the
decline was recovered. Sales on the Now
'i oik stock exchange for the week reached
1.5 < > I,1M ) shares' . The wheat market during
the week has been fairly active and without
any Impoitant or delined leatuies , cvcontlnp ; i
that the pott movement has not been as largo
as expected. Kxports have been quite Iree ,
but opeiators have been led to expect such
an unusual largo movement , based upon ro-
poits of the past week , thnt it appears
doubtful It their expectations will bo reali/etl.
This fact lias induced some spiling of
"long" wheat and there Is every Indication
that Jtvjviwiderablo quanlty has been sold
"shortr * " which lias had the elfrict
of weaken Inc the market mid prices
declined Ic. The decline , no doubt ,
would have been moio severe but for
the heavy covering of "shoits , " some parties
who last week were credited with sell I nc
heavily having , it was claimed , bought freely ,
Inlliienced by tire uncertainty ot valuation.
Advices fiom the noithwest indicate that
Minnesota mills havediawn heavily liom the
suppllesol wheat held in counliy warehouses
along the lines ol railroads and the rcscrvo
supplies have been very much icdiiced.
Corn N'o new 01 Impoi taut features were
brou.'ht to bear upon this market during tlio
past week. Trading lias been of a moderate
character and largely In sympathy witli
wheat and prices declined Ic , later leactcd
° i'c , and closed about ' ( . .otic lower than last
week. Keeeipts have continued fairly large ,
and this was one and the principal featnro
tin the weakness outside of early declines lu 1
wheat. The shipping demand has been
moderate and eon lined to lower giades , which.
weio in it-quest , both IILO on board ear.s and
lo go to store for the puiposc ol loading into
boats , several vessels having been chattered
on a basis of lie lielcht to Itullalo , Including
winter storage until thu opeiilnt : of naviga
tion. Shippers concentrated their purchase
as much as possible In certain houses to en
able them to load their vessels moie icadlly.
It was itimoied that some ot flic lall-
roaus weio accepting "cut" lates , and
this may have assisted the demand for lieo
on hoard ears some. Inspection ot corn lias
created some comment , lecoiveis claiming
that it tins been too rigitl considering the
fact that the ciop of IhSO. unlike other years.
has been sun-cm cd and not frosted , vvhllo
shippcih claim that Inspectors cannot bo too
careful In older ( o maintain the standard o
Chicago padlrrg and to cany corn through
In sound condition to the opening of naviga
tion. Increased speculative activity was no-
ticeabio in the market lor provisions ( lining
tlio past week and the feeling was some
what unsettled , accompanied with considera
ble IneL'ularlty In piicos. ICarly It was evi
dent that local opeiators on the "short" slilo
of the maiket would maKe nn elfoit to break
pi lees , believing that it could easllv bo accom
plished. as it was Imagined that the "long"
interest was distributed moro among oiitsldo
pal ties than among local operators , consequently
quently oiler Ings ot all Muds were consider-
ahlv liieieased , especially lor May delivery ,
and a inateiliil icdiictloii In prices was sub
mitted to. Weakness in the hog maiket as
sisted In rcdtielntr pilces of the pioduct , and
the appearance ol a number of 'Stop ouiers"
on tlin market , and also ot a few contracts on
which margins wein exhausted , assisted the
depiesslon to tome extent at thu decline In
piiees. Local opeiatois weie miiio inclined
to puichase and with Incieased ouleis from
ouisldo parties to Inn checked the downward
tendency , and hnally ended in a shaip reac
tion , tint decline in pi ices being paitlally
j covered. The shipping demand was only
moderately active , the dlllcrenco In the
views ol buyers and solli-io checking busi
ness lo a considerable extent. Holders are
very In m in their vlevvs and not ill posed to
sell except at their own hi/mes. 'I'ho iccelpis
of the products went moderately lame , espe
cially ot meats , vvhllo shipments of all kinds
have litiiin llbeial to eastern and southern
markets. Receipts ol hogs have been smaller
than anlicijiated but lather fieu at oilier
westein points. Olleilngs ol products by
interior manulacturcrs were moderately
laiL'u but not quite so lieu as during the
week piovions. Tim foieign demand lor bos
products was only modeiately active. Do
mestic Inquiry lor hog pioducts exhibited
vuiy little Impiovemeiit timing the pas
week. The unsettled leullng In the specula
tive branch of tiad has had sumo ellect on
shipplim biisinn.s.s and made mcieliants timid
about taking hold oven at slightly icduced
