Weatt , night watchman at the Norfolk - folk Insane asylum , was examined by Gov ernor Holcomb. Weart had been an employe at the Lincoln hospital. He testified that ono Sawyer , an ntlendanl , had the reputation of bcliiK exceedingly rough In his treatment of patients. This was also lhe case with Morland , another attendant. Governor Hol comb asked witness what ho understood by rough trealmenl of patlenls. Weart replied that It was such as was calculated to make the patients fear him anil remember his brutality. Morland had been an employe at the asylum for five or six years. The duties of witness at the Norfolk asylum were to take care of patients In lhe Ihlrd ward. When ordered lo do so ho administered hy podermic Injections. At present Dr. Green prepared all the medicine administered to patients. Cross-examined by General Webster , wit ness said the sedatives given to patients were In lhe form of tablefs.

Attendant Sawyer had been discharged Immediately following the Injury to Patlcnl Urnlile. Morland had been Icl oul for political talk during Gov ernor's Ooyd's term of olllce. USKD 1'OWERKULi NARCOTICS. Mrs. J. A. Weart , wlfo of the preceding witness , testified that she had bceen a nurse at the Lincoln hospital during a portion of Dr. Hay's Incumbency. Was acquainted with the duties of the night watches at the hospital. Was not familiar with the proper tions of medicine administered to patients. Knew that bromides were used In some of the violent wards , Knew of Iho accident In which n patient. Mrs. Drown , had her Jaw severefy Injured. Dr. Hay and Dr. Manary had been called at the time and found that the jaw had been dislocated while an attempt was being made to administer medicine. Witness knew Mrs. Seth P. Mobley while the laller was a patient. Said she had queer Idas. At the Norfolk asylum , where witness was at present employed , Dr. Green had full charge of lhe medicines.

A patient by lhe name ot I'arotte had died from an overdose of paralde- hyde. This lalter drug she had never seen used In lhe Norfolk hospital. Dr. Lane had given her night orders verbally whenever she went on watch. On redirect by Governor Holcomb witness said Ihat the effect of paraldehyde on patients was to causa a stupor which lasted for three or four days , after which Ihcy again became vlolenl. No other witnesses were examined at this session , and It was adjourned until tomor row.

It In claimed by high medical authority that a prescription containing paralJchydo has never been put up by any pharmacists In the city , and that Its use has been confined exclusively to the asylum by Dr. Hay.

A phase of the Important pending question between Engand and Venezuela , In which the United States has Intervened to ask arbitration , Is In volved In the demand of the State depart ment for the resignation of United States Minister Hazelton of Venezuela on serious charges made by Admiral Meade. Minister Hazelton regards the charges as Inspired by pique , and as an evldncco of this he cllcs political representations of a direct and In direct character , by which he says Admiral Meade sought to Impress the Venezuelan government and people with the visit of the United States squadron as something more than a courtesy and Involved political as surances that the United States was about to lend the strength of Its navy to maintain Venezuela against Great Britain. The .min ister says thin Impression characterized all tlio admiral's actions while the United States licet was In Venezuelan waters. Government oRlclals who were well In formed of the pacific character of the visit were surprised that the Impression should be given that there was a political character In the visit. Mr. Hazelton says this course aroused a decided feeling of disapproval among government authorities. They did not , he says , care to be patronized when , as they understood the facts , the visit of the fleet was an Incident to Its being In south ern waters , and was not Intended as an ev idence of the position of the United States on the International questions Involved. The minister today referred to Admiral Meade's address as something more than an expres sion of the usual official courtesies , and de clares It conveyed the general Impressloi that the United States sailors were there as an evidence of the political policy of the United States. It was stated at the whlto house today the action taken In the case of Minister Hazel- Ion would not be recalled , and that Mr. Ha zelton would not return to Venezuela as minister of the United States. M.VSTEUS AKK ItOItliKI ) Excoiilvc on American VciueU nt the 1'ort of llnrct-lonn , WASHINGTON. May 13. Consul Genera Bowen at Barcelona. Spain , has furnished the Department of State some Information rela tive to the dlfllctlltles Incurred by shipmasters In that port. He says that comparatively few American ships enter Barcelona , and the masters of those who do are surprised at ; the bills that are presented to them , and , adds Mr. Bowen , "they seem to have good reason to complain. " The last vessel that was In port was a vessel laden with canned corn , and , Mr. Bowen says , that as the bill presented was about an average one he made a copy of It which he transmits to the department. The pesota. In which the charges are made , equals 19 3-10 American cents , less 10 per cent ex : change , or 17 4-10 American conts. The larg est Items In the bill are for harbor dues on the amount of cargo delivered at 4Vi pesetas per ton , 9,186.48 pesetas and discharged cargo 3.131.75 pesetas , and clearing fees 300 pesetas. There ore also charges In smaller amounts for translating bills of lading and manifests , pilotage In and out of the harbor , anchor boat ' , moorings for running lines , clearing visit , permits , sundries and clearing , duty on provisions and bill of health , which bring the -whole amount up lo 13,088.49 peselas. Mr. Brown adds : "In no port In Europe > are Ihe shipping masters or agents so per verse. They get men to desert , and then charge , altogether , about $25 for each man they bring from Marseilles to fill the de serter's place , The result Is the masters are always In trouble here , and not Infrequently are kept three or four days after they are ready to clear because they are shorthanded. These evlle are difficult to remedy , but they should be known , and of course when evi dence Is obtainable of wrong doing I am al ways ready to make a proper complaint to the authorities. No complaints are made about ' the shlpchandlers. " The elaborate plant of Price's Cream Bak ing Powder the largest In existence shows what merit can achieve. Iiirullilit Slioxr l.lttio ClmnRfl.

WASHINGTON , tyay , J3. An arrangement has been effected between the United States and Great Britain In Wjhlch October Is set as the time for the Assembling at Washing ton of a commltsldn ' (6 ( negotiate a treaty as to claims of ealirb1'6n ! account ot Bering sea seizures. Delegate * ' Vlll come from Can- oda to meet the authorities here. The report coming from Victoria that the British government had vacated the sealing regulations because of the non-payment by the United States of the $125.000 claimed for seizures Is said to be duo to misapprehen sion. It Is learned that the report from Vic toria , 11. C. , Is based upon a misunderstand ing of the word "sealing , " which does not apply to the seal animals , but to the locks or seals by which Implement * used In scaling ore locked up during the closed season. Lasl year a rule was made that sealers could go to Japan or other proximate territory where a British consul or other officer would seal up the ammunition , guns , etc. , used In sea ) . Ing. Vessels having arms Ihtts sealed up were allowed lo remain In Bering sea during Ihe closed season. They were not subject to search and seizure , as the seal on their arms was a guarantee that they were not capturing fur-bearing animals. But the Brit ish admiralty has found that this rule Is Impracticable. In one case a shipmaster con cealed arms and used them In the closed season , although he had another set of arms scaled up as a guarantee against inspection. Owing to these objections the British author ities have determined to abolish this one rule. but not all of them , and notice to that effect has been given. It Is said , however , thai Ihls will not permit Brltlslr ships to poach during Ihe closed season. The law against this on the British statute books Is the same thai was adopted by the Paris court of arbitra tion. British naval vessels will patrol the sea as usual and Iho list of these patrol ships Is dally expjcted. JACKSON V1SI1.S TUi : 1'KESIOENT.

He expects to leave for Tennessee tonlghl or tomorrow with the expectation of returning hero In time for Ihe October term of court , and his house Is balng put In repair In anticipation of his permanent residence hereat thai time. The ofllclals of the government Interested In revenues are much more hopeful of a more favorable decision , and whll * formerly ex pressing the belief that the law would be up set , now say that they believe Ihe fads In reference to Saturday's conference ot the supreme court , as given In the Asssoclated press dispatches , make them confident that Justice Jackson has voted In favor of the constitutionality cf the law , at least as re gards the points on which the court was di vided. The Income tax returns already re ceived at the Treasury department are being classllled and recorded. Although the offi cials are extremely1 reticent on the subject it Is believed that the rent exemptions will amount to 50 psr cent ot the whole. The ' whole number of 'returns made under Ihe laws are approximately 50,000 and Ihe esti mate Is made that .these represent not more than 75 per cent of the number of persons legally liable under the law. If the recant de cision of the court Is sustained next Monday the delinquents wll ) certainly be proceeded against as rapidly ,93 , possible , and It Is Ihought that the 50 per cent penalty lmposs l by the law will not' ' be' ' remitted In any case. H Is asserted that iperwns who have failed to make returns have ujone so with a clear understanding of the law , and In many cases have4 refused lo comply -with It on legal ad vice , preferring to take their chance of belnr comp-lled to pay the penalty.

Mayor Johnston sent Captain Conncll out to flnd the missing witnesses , but the officer re turned empty-handed. A resolution was then Introduced ordering the Issuing of bench warrants for the arrest of Strattman and Murray for contempt , nnd Council started out again. Whllo waiting for the return on the war rants , the case against R. Berlin & Co. was laken up. Mrs. Raff , though her attorney , protested ngalnst the granting ot the li cense to Berlin for the reason tnat gambling was carried on In the rooms above the sa loon. Afler some parley Ihe protest was amended so as to rend that the Berlin peti tion was not signed by thirty freeholders. Objection was raised to this charge by Judge Montgomery , attorney for Berlin , and the lawyers argued the matter back and forth for half an hour. The motion to amend the petition was overruled. Attorney for Mrs. Raff then asked that a dozen or so sub poenas be Issued for witnesses. Clerk Maly refused to Issue then until he had the cash In hand. An appeal was made to the mayor. The case then went over for one week. At Ihls slage of the game Captain Connell brought In Bruno Strathman and Ihe Krug case was recalled. Mayor Johnson fined Strathman $5 for contempt , then the wllit ss testified that hs signed Krug's petlllon , bul did not own any real estate In the First ward. He had signed the application of KrtiK because he had been asked to do so , and had been told that It would be all right , though ) i3 had stated at lhe time he signed his name that he did not own any real estate. After Mr. Strathman had testified he took occasion to slightly roast the council for taking him away from the bedside of a sick child and Imposing a fine for contempt. Frank Thompson's case was taken up and Paddy Murray was placed on the stand Mur- ray admitted thai he had signed lhe Thomp con petlllon , but did not own any real eslate In the Flrsl ward. Witness said he had con siderable per.-onal property , but no real estate. When he signed the petition ho was asked If he was a property owner , and ho said he was , supposing lhal personal properly was what waa meant. Mr. Doud for Iho remonstrators argueO the cases of ICrug. Thompson and Lowry , am : objected lo Iho granting of license. ] lo lhe ap- pllcants because the petitions had not beer olgned by thirty freeholders. Mr. Slmeral In reply showed that the signers to the petitions had been obtained by third parties employed for the purpose , and suggr tci that , as the petitions had been filed In good faith , the applicants be given a short time to correc any errors In the petitions. Councilman Ryan made a motion that the three applicants In question be granted a week's tlmo In order to amend their retlllons. Doud objectel and wanted the applicants to be compelled to go out new petitions and readvcrtlso Ihe-lr appll cations. The motion wua put to n vote and prtvalled , Blanchard and Hybrid voting no. ProloU cases against Schrnltz & Kubacher and Ed. Wlnkler will be heard next Friday evening. R. S. Berlin was glve-n a week to amend his petition and obtain additional slg natures. The pure Ingredients of Dr. Price's Bak ing Powder make It go much farther than any other. Hence the economy of its use.

SAN FRANCISCO , May 13. Rcbcrt Ohmin. a passenger on the City of Peking , which ar rived from HOUR Kotig yesterday , tells pe culiar story ot hypnotism said to have been practiced upon himself nnd u number of others while confined In Russian prisons In Siberia. With nine others , who composed the crow of Die schooner Emma , which sailed from Douglas City , Alaska , In 1S93 , on a sailing voyage , he said ho was seized by , Russian ofllcers on Iho Lagallno Islands. Ohman saU he did not know what charge wan placed against them or what crime they had been guilty of , but nevertheless they j were locked up In a small Jail on Iho Island and kept Iheri- for several weeks. They were Ihen taken to some place on the coast , where they were supposed to stand trial for their offense. All the proceedings were conducted In the Russian language and no defense was offered. Just what the pro ceedings were Ohman s.iys liu cannot re member , except thai shortly afler the court adjourned he was placed In n cell by him self and male to work against his comrades. Every effort was made to get him to betray his comrades. 1mt ho had nothing ot a criminal character to divulge , nnd at last he was sent to lhe prison of Vladlvoalock. There he says ho was hypnotized by the govern ment olllclals. What ho did after that he does not remember until he was placed on a steamer for Nagasaki In the care ot uu Eng lishman or German and handed over lo lhe American consul at Nagasaki , who secured transportation for him to America. Ohman could not tell what had become ot his shipmates whom ho left In the Siberian prison , but ho believes ho was the means ot scnJlng them all to the gallows by the stories ho told about them while under hyp notic Influence. Hhnhor Colony fur California. SAN FRANCISCO. May 13. Arthur Dowe Is engaged In missionary work for the pur pose of rc-eslabllshing a colony of Shakers on the Pacific coast. It Is proposed lo creel n church here lo be an exact copy of the one now being , used by the community al Host Canterbury , N. H. , having a seating capacity of several hundred nnd apartments sulllclent to accommodate at least 100 people. When the work on the coast has progressed a little further a few prominent eastern Shaker lead ers wilt como to San Francisco and begin actively the work of establishing the church or community. Several thousand acres of land have betn purchased lately In Osceola county , Florida , and a building constructed for 150 persons. They will try one of Iho hot summers them before making extensive Improvements. The probabilities nre , how ever , that this community will come to Cali fornia on account of the excessive heat of FlorlJa. la Our Great Grandfather's Time , big bulky pills were in general use. I < ike the "blunderbuss" of that decade they were big nnd clum sy , but ineffec tive. In this cent ury of enlight enment , we have Dr. Piercc's Pleasant Pel lets , which cure all liver , stomach nnd bowel derange ments in the most effective way , Assist Nature a little now nnd then , with n gentle , cleansing laxative , thereby removing of fending matter fiotn the stomach nnd bowels , toning up and invigorating the liver and quickening its tardy action , and you thereby remove the cause of a multitude of distressing diseases , such as headaches , indigestion , or dyspepsia , biliousness , pimples , blotches , eruptions , boils , constipation , piles , fistulas and maladies too numerous to mention. If people would pay more attention to properly regulating the action of their bowels , they would have less fre quent occasion to call for their doctor's services to subdue attacks of dangerous diseases. That , of all known agents to accom plish this purpose , Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are xinequaled , is proven by the fact that once used , they arc always in favor. Their secondary effect is to keep the bowels open and regular , not to fur ther constipate , as is the case with other pills. Hence , their great jxjpnlarity , \\ith sufferers from habitual constipation , piles and indigestion.
