Her Mother Dead and Her Reason Un-
dermined by Solitary COnfinement.
PARIS, Jan. E-Anarchists are making
arrangements for meeting at the burial
of the mother OF Louise Michel tomorrow
LOUISE MICHEL's HALLUCINATIoNs,
NJ. sRochefort recently visited Louise
Michel in prison. He found her suffering
from various mental delusions, including
visions OF soldiers coming to ar
rest her and hearing voices through
out the night reciting details of
her trial and sentence. NJ. Rochefort
attributes these to the brain ravages of
her two years. isolation in her cell. He
says that he knows from personal expe-
rience that six months of solitary con-
finement will cause more suffering than
four years of ordinary prison life. While
in exile in New Caledonia, he saw within
six months ten prisoners who were under
going solitary confinement become insane,
several of whom died. He says that the
system of solitary confinement is the
worse and most revolving of punishment,
and amounts virtually to torture.

BATEMAN's FIGURES AssAILED.
His TelegraphIst's Resignation Causes
q Lively Time at the Trial.

His TelegraphISts Resignation Causes
a Lively Time at the Trial.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The proceedings
before the Swain court martial yesterday
morning were enliVened at the outset by a
long and acrimonious wrangle between
the counsel, in which much of the un-
pleasantness that has been developed at
times as the case has progressed was
brought to the surface.
The wrangle grew out of the presenta-
tion by Judge Shellabarger, of the counsel
for the defense, Of a written motion to the
court, stating that in view of the un-
usual circumstances attending the trial
of this case that it would be unfair to the
accused to compel the counsel for the
defense to make argument in the case on
the opening without hearing any part of
the argument of the prosecution. This
was made in view of the announcement
made before recess by the Judge AdvO-
cate that the prosecution would close the
argument and would not make any OPEN
ing. The motion stated that the request
of the accused was that both sides be re-
stricted to one argument, or else that the
prosecution be directed to state their case
in the opening and be allowed the closing
argument, thus giving the counsel for the
accused opportunity to learn what points
would be made by the prosecution.
REsORTING TO TEST QUESTION.
r. l.. De Akers, formerly employed by
Mr.. Bateman as a stenographer and tele-
graph operator, took the stand. Several
questions were asked the witness, in
tended to call from him some statement
as to the alleged requirement by Mr.. Bate
man that he (the witness) should post
false quotations of stocks on the bulle-
tIn-bOard in the office. Objection was
made by the prosecution to the form of all
these questions, and finally by direction
of the court test question was
drawn up by the defense
and put to the witness. He was
asked: did you resign your position
in the service of Bateman 81 Co., and if
your resignation had any relation to any
requirement of you in respect Of what
you should do in connection with trans
crlbing or reporting stock quotations or
other business that came over the wires
State what that requirement was, and
what the reasons, If any, you gave them
for your resignationT'
The Judge Advocate objected to the
question as being al gumentative, i'm
proper, leading and suggestive, and on
the ground that Gen. Swain, in his testi-
mony, had stated that he had never talked
with this witness, but had heard of alleged
AOo'SOHo III 1AO ASolSHSbAOH 1IOm OIueI
persons. The court then went into secret
session and the doors remained closed
two hours. When they were opened it
was announced that the objection of the
Judge Advocate to The question
had been sustained. The decision of the
court on the motion as to the arguments
was also announced. 1t was that the
counsel for the accused may make their
argument or arguments at the termina-
tion of the evidence, and may be followed
by associate counsel for the government,
and that the accused through either OF
sociate counsel, and the Judge Advocate
may present the closing argument.

place in the cathedral to-day. Over
5000 people were in the building, while
10000 more remained in the street several

a peep at the impressive proceedings.
Many distinguished prelates were pres
ent. In order to permit the priests of the
city to attend, the late masses
in all the churches were dispensed with.
This, however, resulted in bringing many
parishiOners to the cathedral, who would
not have attended probably had the late
masses been celebrated. AS it was, the
crush was something terrible. 1t re-

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Jan. 4.-The Re
publican tomorrow will contain a sum-
mary of reports from the different tobacco
sections of the Connecticut valley which
indicate a good crop, well-cured, but
almost no sales. Wholesalers and manu-
facturers have sent out their buyers as
usual at this season of the year,
but as farmers insist upon last
years prices and buyers offer only
about two-thirds as much, the market is
at a standstill. The leading growers
affirm that few sales will be made until it
is known what effect the work of the pre-
sent Congress may have OF the tobacco
interest. The Springfield manufacturers
do not favor the Spanish treaty or the re-
m0val of the revenue tax, while those in
Northern Connecticut are for doing away
with the tax and only mildly protest
against the treaty. They do not think
that it could hurt them for any length OF

larger part of whom, if so disposed, could
make the trip and return home in one
day. 1t was a great railroad centre, and
had as its faithful ally its own home rail-
road, one of the greatest corporations OF
the world, through whose efforts the people
of distant States were enabled to reach the
exposition with such ease and dispatch
as to make the journey akin to a pleas
ant picnic. New Orleans is in the centre
of a sparsely populated country. Its
water communications obviously cannot
be availed of. Its railway communica-
tions are quite ordinary, and this, coupled
with its comparatively remote location
from populous centres, will make it i'm
practicable tor the millions OF people in
humble circumstances who went to Phila-
delphia to come here. But there will be
great crowds for all that, and the amount
of money disbursed in the aggregate will
compare very favOrably with the eXpendi-
lures OF the visitors in Philadelphia. as
there will proportiOnally be many more
people of means.
THE LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE MORN
ING TRAIN
Wednesday brought to New Orleans three
brothers, natives of Knoxville, Marion
county, Iowa. who came here to visit the
exposition. They are the tallest men of
their State, and claim, with apparently
good grounds, to be the tallest men of the
United States. They are generally known
as the three brothers Robinson, being re-
spectively Samuel, aged "a; William, aged
20, and Charles, aged Is. In their home
they have long been known as the ''Iowa
giants" and until the last few weeks they
have been occupied in farming. Latterly
they have been on exhibitions in muse
ums in Chicago, st. Louis, Milwaukee
and Louisville, but at present their only
intentions are to take in the Worlds Fair
OF New Orleans, but they may possibly be
induced to change their determination.
The Robinson brothers have four sisters.

other two being feet IL inches high, and
