greatness of the country, and related in
way that brought tears to the eyes his
hearers how the republic would be c,mented

connecting the Mississippi with New York
city by water. Illinois led the applause
this time. and it soon became general all
over the house.
AS soon as the convention assembled in
the afternoon the report of the committee
on resolutions was read by Gen. Beadle of
Dakota in clear and resonant No. hard
voice. The resolutions favored about all
the Goose creeks that had been brought to
the notice Of the committee and as each
particular Goose creek was mentioned it
was recognized with burst of applause
from the delegation representing that sec
ton, so that when the reading was concluded
the resolutions were adopted with rush.

He was followed by Congressman Hatch of
Missouri, whose words bear weight from
the fact that he is reputed to have as much
influence over legislation as any Western
member of congress. He announced him
self as an implacable foe te what he called
the drv-land barnacles on the river and
harbor bill, and as one of these barnacles he
characterized the Hennepin canal. This
sentiment brought forth many expressions
of appreciation from the Missouri benches,
which are in front and to the right of the
platform. The Illinois delegation on the
other side of the hall and in front, began to
get white in the face, however, as they
heard it openly charged that a Hennepin

NEW York, Feb. 22.-Professor William
G. Sumner, of Yale college, and General
Stewart L. Woodford closed their discussion
of tho tariff last evening before an audience
that taxed the capacity of the Brooklyn
Music Hall Thomas G. Shearman, presi-
dent of the Brooklyn Reform club, in intro
ducing the proceedings, said that General
Woodford would lead and close, Professor
Sumner replying to the opening. General
Woodford said that the protective idea lay at
the foundation of this government, and
quoted Daniel Webster to that effect. He
combated the assertion made by his oppo-
nent on Friday night that protective tax
secured no equivalent. The question mar
rowed to that. It did return an equivalent
in the means of education. 1t also diversi-
fed interests, made the people independent
and strengthened the State.
Professor Sumner compared protectionists
to quack doctors, who gave specifics to pre-
vent sickness and who were ruined when the
specifics failed. Business had now been
going wrong for twelve years, and the very
consequences had been visited on the coun-
try that protective legislation had undertaken
to avert. Congress had never known what it
wanted to do toward keeping the country
right it had never made an intelligent in
spection OF analysis of the question in its
bearing on the welfare of the country. It
had even thrown away the conclusions of the
tariff commission, composed, with a single
exception, of protectionists, and had gone on
in the old way, passing big log rolling job

SUNDAY WORK BY Committees.
The Coinage of the Silver Dollar
Under confederation.

The Coinage of the Silver Dollar
Under Consideration.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The House Com
mittse on Appropriations was in session to-
day considering the sunday civil appropria-
ton bill. Assistant United States Treasurer
Graves, who was before the committee, was
ques toned at length respecting various mat
ters which it is proposed to include in the
bill. Probably the most important clause of
the measure will be that agreed
upon yesterday authorizing the Presi-
dent in his discretion to suspend
the coinage of silver dollars for one year
after July next. In addition to the opposi-
ton of the silver men to the adoption of this
clause it has been developed in the course of
debate on the subject that the Republicans
will attempt to modify its provisions as to
strike out that part giving the President dis
cretionary powers in the matter on
the ground that Republican Presidents
have never been given such power.
The silver men claim to have strength
to defeat the proposition or necessitate an
extra session Of Congress if those favoring it
persisted in pushing 1t through. The vote
by which it agreed to insert the CLAUSE
eight against nine-is construed by members
not on the Appropriations committee and
those who favor a continuance of the coinage
of the silver dollar to indicate that the pro-
moters of the scheme will not bring sufficient
strength into the House to carry it
through. A prominent Democratic mem
Der of the House said to Ii
representative of the United Press to-day
that the silver suspension clause was in
serted in the sundry civil bill at the instance
of Chairman Barnum of the National Demo
cratic committee, who has been in Washing
ton for some days past and who is supposed
to voice Mr.. Cleveland's views on this ques-
ton. The Senate Committee on Appropria-
tions also held meeting to-day considering
bills which have reached the Senate from the
House. Nearly every member of both COM
mittees was present

Henry Ward Beecher Does Not Conn

Moment-Mrs. Beecher Falls in a
Faint.
BROOKLYN, Feb 22.-The Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher spoke to-day from the text,
ga good name is rather to be chosen than
raj applications of the text he referred to
Washington as an illustration and said while
many had surpassed him general and as
a man Of learning, none would ever surpass
him in the fundamental virtues of life and it
was this that made his name the greatest of
purely human names. In COM
pairing Washington as states
man with others, Mr.. Beecher said
''that not for a moment did he compare him
with that sound and perfect man-Glad-
stone, upon whose originality such endow
ments came and who has stood through the
varying fortunes of that great empire year in
and year out, in darkness and in light, and
who easily towers above everyone of the
statesmen not only in his cabinet, but those
who desire to be in it; an eminent man indeed,
with great name that shall never go below
the horizon"
Mrs. Beecher fell in faint just before the
close of the last hymn and was taken out of
the church past the pulpit Mr.. Beecher
waited until the stanza was completed and
pronounced the benediction without showing
unusual emotion, then quietly went to the
ante-room where Mrs. Beecher had been
taken. The lady soon recovered sufficiently
to be taken home in a carriage. 1t is be-
ieved that her illness is only temporary.

Mental DISC rders and Brain Structure.
From Medical Expert Testimony by DR.. Frank
H. Hamilton, in Popular Science Monthly for
March,
Medical men, whether they be specialists
in the study of mental diseases or not, in the
differentiation of the class of diseases now
under consideration, labor under peculiar
difficulties. There are many mental disors
ders which are unaccompanied with any re-
cognizable abnormal physical conditions of
the brain; that is to say, in which there are
no structural LESSONS of the brain cognizable
during life, or which can be satisfactorily
demonstrated in the autopsy; and there are
many in which the mental alienation cannot
be fairly traced to any LESSONS in any other
part of the body. The number of these ex-
amples may hereafter be found to be smaller
than is now known, but for the present the
fact is as have stated. That functional
disturbance of the brain exists in such cases
is self-evident; but for aught we know this
NAV be due to some slight molecular, chemi-
cal or vital changes in the nervecells of the
gray matter of the brain or of group of
cells, not denoted by any peculiar physical
signs during life, and which can leave no pos
sible traces after death. To cause mental de-
rangement. it may be only necessary that
these microscopic cells should be Temporarily
deprived of their normal supply of oxygen
through the vascular system OF, On the 9th
er hand, slight increase in the supply of the
proper nutriment OF stimulus may cause the
same results. A simple loss of equilibrium
or change of tension in the nerve-cell may
cause, delirium. These abnormal physical
conditions may be temporary or per
manent, but in either case they will proba-
bly,, in the future as in the past, elude the
most careful observation of the physician, the
chemist and the microscopic. Science has
calculated the vibrations of the musical
chord, and measured the oscillations of ray
of light, but has not estimated the vibrations
of the living intellectual nerve-een, nor ana.
| lived its aura which waits necessarily and
instantly upon its will. 1t has furnished nc
means, therefore, of determining mathemati-
cally when the mysterious organ of the mind
is out of tune, or why its notes are discordant.

The Great Statue Dedicated After
Keara of Construction.

Years OF COmStFucLAOhs
WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The residents and
visitors of Washington realized yesterday
how the people of great city can enjoy
carnival with the mercury down toward the
lowest point, but during the bitter cold
thousands of people stood and watched with
undated interest the ceremonies attendant
on the unwilling of the Washington monu-
ment. From an early hour the people began
to gather around the monument, but it was
II o'clock when Senator Sherman, the chair
man of the joint congressional committee,
called the people to order, and in brief
speech outlined the ceremonies of the day.
When he finished the Marine band played a
piece, and prayer was offered by the Rev.
Mr.. Suter, of Christ church, Alexandria,
Va. and DIR. J. c. yelling, president of the
Columbia university, thereupon read the adj
dress prepared by Mr. w. ". Corcoran, to
whom had been assigned the honor of repre-
senting the part taken in the initiation OF the
project of construction of the monument by
the Washington Monument society, of which
he is the first vice president.
The Masonic ceremonies by the Grand
LODGE of the District of Columbia, which then

aries declared that the square, the level and
the plumb had been applied to the obelisk,
and that its corners were found to be square,
its courses level, its walls skillfully erected
according to plan. Grand Master Myron M.
Parker scattered corn and poured out wine
and oil-emblems of nourishment, refresh
ment and ioy-and in the course of the mys-
tic ceremonies brought into use certain his
toric relics with which General
Washington was intimately connected.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 22.-At Dorpot,
Livonia, to-day the police seized a large
number of Nihilist circulars and pamphlets
which were ready for circulation. An exam
nation of the contents of these documents
furnished the officials evidence of the com
nlicity in their publication and plans for
their dissemination by one Pere1oef, Rus
sian student Pereloeff had formerly been
suspected of consorting with Nihilists and
was once arrested, but subsequently released
and granted amnesty. Acting upon the evil
dence found in the seditious literature the
police arrested Pereloeff at his rooms. The
latter Immediately drew pistol and shot
himself through the head, dying instantly.
A search of his apartments was made and
resulted in the discovery of a quantity of
poisons, arms of various kinds, dynamite
and large sum of money. Together with
these there were found papers containing the
names of many persons implicated in terror

great value to the authorities in the suppress
SION of Nihilism in that region. About one
hundred of the persons mentioned in Pere-
loeff's papers have already been arrested.

FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE.
five Persons Burned In A New York

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-Five lives, perhaps
six, were lost shortly after midnight by a
fire which broke out in the center of the
large four-story brick building on the
northeast corner of William and Beaver
streets. Two families lodged on the top
floor, and when they were aroused from their
sleep it was discovered that their means of
retreat was cut off. One family consisted of
Earnest Jade, his wife, one child and ser
want girl named Josephine Kropp. The sec
ond family was that of Patrolman Murray,
of the Old Slip station house, his wife, her
mother, his three children and servant girl
named Kate Murphy. All the Jade family
and the servant girl, Murphy, were rescued
by means of the pompler ladders. After the
fire had been brought partially under con-
troll the bodies of Mrs. Murray, her mother
and three children were discovered in the up
per floors. They had died of suffocation.
Search is being made for the body of Patrol
man Murray, who is believed to have en-
tered the house to rescue his family, and to
