the anti.Grant boom: "There is chill

RENo's RAsoALITY,
HE Defense Before the Court MarIlal- No
Harm Intended, Only Good
HumOFsdIy Drunk.

DEADwooD, December SIN the Reno
court martial to-day, Major Reno delivered
lengthy argument in his defense, in
which he claims that he did not 60 beyond
the bounds Of becoming conduct. That in
striking Lieutenant Nicholson, he did so
after being driven beyond the limits Of
patience, by repeated taunts OF Mich.
Alison; that 10 looking through the
window Of the sturgiss House he
was actuated by the purest motives,
and his note Of apology would be suffi.
Cient reparation for an unintentional OF.
Tense. He says that all the witnesses agree
that he was In possession OF his mental
faculties on oil occasions brought into
question; that II under the influence OF
liquor at all, he was regarded as good
humordly drunk, and his knocking the
money on the floor aud breaking the win.
dow lights was done in frolic. BE claims
that 1t has been his misfortune 10 have
obtained widespread notoriety through
the press OF the country, and that a
greater degree OF attention Is called to his
acts than those OF other officers, and that
a conviction on the charges against him
would be the sacrifice Of commission
which is the reward from his country
for over twenty-five years OF hard and
faithful labor TO his country. He quoted
the SD article OF the articles Of war,
which says intent Is to preserve the char.
acter and honor OF the army by executing
disreputable characters and not to inHict
punishment for youthful follies or trivial
deviations from rectitude.
Court then adjourned. .

TIE CUBAN Willow VRvRR COMMISSION.
WASHINGTON, December S.-The Com
mission appointed by the President t
proceed to Cuba for the purpose Of col
lectins information in relation to the vel
low fever has submitted a prelimlnar,
report to the National Board OF Health
The report Saysthe general result Is yellow
fever habltually prevails in every place ii
Cuba from which reports were received,
provided these places are Of any size OF
commercial importance and contain any
considerable number OF unacclimated per.
SONS to furnish food for the widespread
poison. In this particular also, medical
authorities, as well as intelligent residents
OF Cuba, have misled the profession. Be.
fore leaving the United States the most
absolute assurances were given by the ma
ives, or ex.residents oI Cuba, and even In
Cuba itself.
These assurances were confidently re.
peated that yellow fever never occurred in
this, that or other places. Dilligent in.
quiry was made for al such accessible
places, and dilligent investigation inyaria-
bly, proved these assurances false and that
they were founded upon comparatively
slight prevalence oi disease, due in a
large measure 10 small numbers OF unac-
climated visitors or residents at such pla-
ces. Detailed proofs OF these facts are
possessed In abundance, and It is very
certain that the prevalence Of yellow fever
is not equally marked in ell places, and
that It varies greatly in different places
and in different years at some places.
This variation Is, at times, apparently in
dependent OF the amount oi unacclimated
material.

PHYSICIANS are still found advocating
special diet with reference to feeding the
brain, as though your fat witted person
did not already sufficiently abound.s In
the course Of lecture on physiology in
New York a physician described the
Mom OF a "brainial supper" which he once
gave party OF his friends: First Course
Toasted crackers and toasted cheese, in
the Russian fashion, as an appetizer.
Second Course-oysters on the half she'll
and cold cabbage. Third Course sar-
dimes in oil. Fourth Course Goldfish and
cream. Filth Course = Lobster salad.
Sixth Course-Stewed tripe and. green
peas, Seventh Course Calves brains on
toast, Graham bread and oaten grtts,
wheaton gris with cream. Dessert
Baked sweet apples and baked sour ap-
pies. Drinks-Cold water. This, barring
the cold water, was q generous enough
feast Tor rare occasions, but for steady diet
the average brain workerwould be apt to
long for something more substantial.

The Chinese in California have begun
togo. The steamer that sailed from San
Francisco for Hong Kong, on the 10th
took 9Ol Of them to their native land. The
port statistics Of San Francisco show that
the arrivals OF Chinese during the year
ended November LIST were 6.l2s, and de-
partures S,748-of whom 0,22s went to
China and 2,5l7 to Honolulu-the excess
OF departures over arrivals being 2,61S. It
is estimated that there are $1,000 Chinese
on the Pacific coast, which shows that this
population is decreasing, for when the
anti-C Chinese agitation was begun the esti-
mate was 100000. The total number Of
