According to the testimony adduced before
the Assembly Committee on Crime, it is
practised even in the District Attorneys
Office. Mr.. Phelps was before the committee
yesterday, and excused his Office and its con-
duct as best he could; but scarcely had he
finished his rather unsatisfactory explana-
tions when new charge was preferred. The
keeper Of a disorderly house swore that he
purchased immunity from punishment from
Detective Fields in the District Attorneys
Office, and IL appears he was discharged
by one of Mr.. Phelps clerks. Subsequently
he repeated the artifce through lawyer
named Hummel whenever he got into trou-

further explanations, and while he is about it

HERZEGOVINA will be seen from our
special cable despatch this morning that the
attitude Of the great Powers toward the in
surrection in Herzegovina is reacting upon
the insurgent cause. In keeping Servia and
Montenegro from joining in the revolt thu
attempt at revolution is greatly weakened, if
not rendered altogether hopeless. This is a
very important fact, and if the policy sue
ceeds in these provinces we may soon expect
the end Of the insurrection.

HIGH BEEF.-The prohibition by the British
government of the importation of beef into
England from the remainder of Europe causes
a lively outcry in the press and general fear
of beef famine. The ''roast beef Of old Eng
land, the old, old English roast beef" is now
adays brought from all parts Of the world;
even Australia and Texas contributing their
share, but in shape not palatable to the
average John Bull, who hates stews and
wants ''slice off the joint" The prevalence
of cattle diseases on the European Continent
makes it imprudent to permit the importa-
ton of live stock into England from there.
But why should not we send them cattle
from the United States and Canada? We
already do something in this way, mostly, we
believe, in slaughtered carcasses, which are
sent over on ice or in huge refrigerators.
During the winter meat could be carried
with but little provision against spelling on
the passage, and we call the attention Of
butchers and stock dealers to this trade,
which might, we suspect, be made very pro-
fitable. 1t would be shameful to see John
Bull wanting joint of beef while we have
one to sell him.

Another General storm visitation.

The latest advices from Europe announce
the occurrence of violent storms in the South
of France and much destruction of life and
property by the bursting of waterspout
near Montpelier. After the quite recent dis
asters in that country arising from storm Wis
itations the conclusion must be arrived at
that atmospheric disturbances of extraordi-
nary violence, duration and extent have
been taking place over the Mediterranean
Sea- influenced by the great evaporation due
to continuous high temperature and the
heated air waves rolling northward from the
sandy wastes of Sahara. AS already ex-
planned in our columns the formation Of
these cyclonic meteors, that prove so de-
structive in their overland progress, are
mainly due to the phenomena of evaporation
and condensation caused by the counter
movements of warm and cold currents of air.
The South of France is geographically open
to these storms, and is therefore more fire.
quently visited by them than any other part
of Southern Europe. The storm or hurri-
cane, which is reported by telegram to have
originated in the West Indian seas, and
which will in all probability reach our lati-
tude in a day or two, threatens to be one of
the most severe of the season. 1t will follow
the usual track of these storms along the
Atlantic coast, and, fortunately for COM
merce, its progress will be carefully watched
and signalled by the Signal Service Office, SO
that timely preparations can be made to
guard against disasters to our shipping. We
need an extension of our system of observa-
ton stations to the West Indian Islands and
the points on the coast of South America
north of the Equator. This, with the thor
ough cooperation of the Signal Service de-
partments of European nations, will render
our meteorological knowledge complete, so
far as the advance of that special science
will permit

VICTORIOUS!
A Glorious Conquest for
the Edward !
The Only Harvester That Did Not
Choke
Five Edwards Purchased on the
Field ,


At harvester trial on yesterday after
noon, on the farm of Mr. Carl Gest, near
the village of De Forest, Dane county,
six harvesters entered, namely: The
Edward, the Marsh. the Mccormick. the
the Massillon, the Beloit, and the earn
hart.
A field Of barley somewhat lodged and
tangled was the ground for the contest.
There was an excellent opportunity to
test the real merits of the machines ,
and the trial was for the purpose Of let
ting the farmers present decide for
themselves which of the six harYesters
did the best work.
Mr.. Gest, the owner of the farm, de-
sired to purchase harvester, and he
agreed to select the one which, in his
opinion, performed the best work. Each
machine started on its work, and the
ELW ARD was the only one which went
around the field without choking It's
work was done in most admirable style,
and to the utmost satisfaction of the prac-
teal farmers present. Mr.. Gest imme-
diately purchased the Edward FOUR other
Edward machines were sold then and there.
1t was a-great triumph for the Edward.
Read Mr.Gest's card, here appended ;
WINDSOR, Dane CO., Wis July q, IS.
This is to certify that at the trial OF
Harvesters, held on my farm to-day for the

nation to begin building operations. The
Japanese Commissioners are preparing

The following is from an article on In
frmities Of Speech in The Popular
Science Monthly for August: Itmay be,
however, that not only are the right
words forgotten, but wrong ones are sub
stituted. The mother-in-law of medical
man I'VE are told by DR.. TrousseauJ labor
ed under very singular intellectual dis
order. Whenever q visitor entered her
apartment she rose with an amiable look.
and, pointing to a chair, exclaimed, pig,
brute, stupid fool - Mrs. B-asks you
to take a CHAIR her son.in-law would
then put in, giving this Interpretation TO
her stranger expressions. In other re
spects Mrs. BIS acts were rational,
and her case differed from ordinary ap
hasia in that she did net seem to grow i'm
patient what she said, or to understand
the meaning of the insulting expressions
Of which she made use. CrichtOn men
tons the case of an attorney who, when
he asked for any thing, constantly used
some inappropriate term instead of ask
ing for piece of bread he asked for his
boots. and, if these were brought, he knew
they did not correspond to the idea of the
thing he wanted; therefore, he became
angry, yet he would still demand
boots or shoes, meaning bread. One gen
tleman IA patient of Sir Thomas Watson)
would say ''pamphlet' meaning cam
phor." Another would say poker when
he meant fire" DR.. Moore, Of Dublin,
has recorded the case Of gentleman who
completely lost the connection between
ideas and words. On one occasion the
doctor was much puzzled by his patient
saying to him, "Clean my boots 7" Find
ing that he was not understood, he became
much excited, and cried ont vehemently
Clean my boots by waking on them
At length it was ascertained that the
cause of disquletude was the shining of
the candle in his face; and that the object
of his unlntellgible sentence was to have
the curtain drawn. When this was done
he appeared gratified. In this case, 1t
will be noticed, the patient formed COM
plete sentences, the power OF coordination
and articulation was perfect, and the in
telligence was pparentlY unimpalred
But sometimes, when articulation may be
retained, what is uttered is perfect jargon.
gentleman in Dublin, after an attack of
apOplexy, was thus affected, and IN the
hotel where he was mistaken for for
eigner. DR.. Osborn, with view to ascer-
tain the nature of his imperfecti0ns OF
language, asked him to read aloud the
following sentence from the bylaws of the
College of Physicians; 1T shall be in the
power Of the college to examine or not to
examine any icentiate previous to his
admission to fellowship, as they think
fit" He read as follows: And the be
what in the ternother of the trothotodoo

these syllables are difficult and unusual.

falling a clear distance of 50 feet, on to
the rock below, and then rolling down 60
feet more toward the edge of the water.

they learned of the accident, rowed over
from Prospect Park, expecting to find
the unfortunate man mangled mass of
flesh and bones. Judge Of their aston

discovered him wedged in between some
rocks, swearing as lively as any man in
his position could, and suffering no per-
