The Hopes of the Boomers

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Cabinet has under consideration the Oklahoma question with view of determining the proposition to withdraw the troops sent into the Indian territory and to quiet the invasion of the boomers through the courts. The Hons. Jas. B. Weaver, of Iowa, and Sidney Clark, of Missouri are in the city as representative of the invaders and their friends and hsve had conference with Secretary Lamar They believe that the troops will be withdrawn at an early day and that the Attorney General will begin suit against the boomers.
 There is good authority for the statement that the President has decided to appoint J: s. Miller, of West Virginia, commissioner of internal revenue. Mr. Miller is prominent Democrat and has been auditor of his State for eight years.
 Senators profess ignorance on the subject, but there are good grounds for believing that the Nicaragua and Spanish treaties will be withdrawn.
 The congressional delegations of North Carolina, Illinois, Florida and Kentucky waited upon the President to-day to recon mend appointments. Justice Harlan, min ister Fosterzand Senator Vorohees were also among the callers.

WAsufNGroN, d. c., July l6.-The

Barnwel Rhett, of South Carolina. In

President resumed his carriage rides yes

Speaker Carlisle. After long ride the
two gentlemen dined together at the
White House. On his summer vaca tion
the President will not be accompanied
by either his secretary or
any member OF his Cabinet.
ID. Ward, OF Albany, who was with him
last year in the Adrondacks, has again
been invited to 20, and it is probable
that not more than one or possibly two
personal friends of the President will
compose the party They will stop at a
small hotel in the woods, which will be
their headquarters, and telegraph op-
orator will be present at all times In case
his services are required. The Presi-
dent eau thus be easily communicated
with on important questions If necessary.
Business cares will be laid aside tenn
porarily, and he will devote himself to
recuperatlng aud preparing for winter
of hard work at Washington. Thclength
of his stay will be determined by the con-
dition of public affairs, but he has been
advised to remain away from Washing
ton during September If possible, as this
is the most trying month of the year TO

alarmed by this forward movement, and
exhibit great anxiety lest the Russians
may take possession OF the Pass and

further advances by the Russians
with all the force at their command.
Should the Russians persist in their
course, a bloody conflict can not much

THE DOLPHIN AGAIN.

ex-secretary Chand'sr Makes . Few Re-
marks Anent the Recent Opinion OF At
torney- General Garland In the Dolphin
Case.
BosroS, Mass, July l5.-Ex-Secre-
tary Chandler has written to the Journal
In reference to Attorney-General Gar
lands decision, that the contract with
Mr.. Roach to bui,d the Dolphin is void,
that payments TO Mr.. Roach are Illegal
and NAV be recovered and that the Gov
ernment should seize and hold the Dol
phin as security for repayment. MI.
Chandler saws:
"Mr. Garland's and Mr.. Whitncy's as
sumed fundamental condition OF the
statute Is nowhere contained in its terms.
II appropriates for four ships as recon-
mended by the Naval Advisory Board
They fnd that the Board recommended
that the dispatch boat should have sea
speed OF seventeen knots; and then they
say such speed is vital prerequisite to
be absolutely guaranteed in any contract
for construction which may be made, al
though by the express terms OF the law
the designs of the ship, in de-
tail, were to be made by The
Department, and the contractor was tc
have nothing to say or do about them
The proposition is weak and slender
with no foundation of law or sense tc
support il. Ii would seem as II the
newspaper report of Mr.. Garland's opin
ion must be incorrect. At first he Is
made to say OF the clause in the contract
that the ship should be built in accord
ance with the provisions OF the acts ol
Congress;
81 am Of opinion that this covenant
bound the contractor as effectively 10
make a ship OF a sea speed of seventeen
knots as though he had agreed TO do SC
in express words"
But later he says OF the clause which
provides that the contractor shall not be
responsible for failure to develop 230
horse power, If it is not due to defective
workmanship or material.
"lhe obvious intention of this was tC
relieve the contractor of all responsibility
as to the speed and power OF the ship
and therefore, he says it follows that the
contract exists between Mr.. Roach anC
the United States and that he must pay
back all moneys received by him, ant
hand over the Dolphin as security that N
WILL
This reasoning can not be the work ol
good lawyers. II Mr.. Roach did guar
antee speed as effectively as II he ha'
agreed to do so in express words, thu
contract can not be absolutely void be
cause elsewhere Is a clause which re-
lleycs him from guarantee Of horse
power. Let it be noticed that thi
wicked assault upon Mr.. Roach By
two newly Gedged Cabinet Minister
rcyeling in misused power, is perpe
trated solely for the assumed reason tba
the Dolphin has net fifteen knot
sea speed, when in fact, on every one o
her several trial trips, she has reached
fifteen knots, aud the last trip was mad
at sea in pursuance OF the orders OF MI
Whitney, but Mr. Whitney, enraged at tn
result, says the sea was not high enoug
and fifteen knots sea speed means seven
teen aud balf knots, when there Is no
high sea, aud upon this arbitrary as
sumption the whoe fabric of outrag
committed by him is built.

MENTAL DISTURBANCES.
Irrationality Which Comes Dangerously
Near Insanity.

The lowest grade of mental disturb
ance is seen in that temporary appear
ance of irrationality which comes from
an extreme state of abstraction" or alb
sence Of mind. To the vulgar all in
tense preoccupation with ideas, by CALI
ing off the attention from outer things
and giving dreamlike appearance to
the mental state, is apt to appear symp-
tomato of 'queerness" in the head.
But in order that it may find a place
among distinctly abnormal features this
absence Of mind must attain certain
depth and persistence. The ancient
story of Archimedes and the amusing
anecdotes Of Newton's hts, If authentic,
might be said perhaps to illustrate the
border line between normal and an abb
normal condition of mind. A more dis.
tinctly pathological case is that OF
Beethoven, who could not be made to
understand why his standing in his
night attire at an open window should
attract the irreverent notice of the street
boys. For in this case we have tenn
porary incapacity TO perceive exterior
objects and their relations; and deeper
incapacity of a like nature clearly shows
itself in poor Johnson's standing before
the town clock vainly trying TO make
out the hour. This same aloofness OF
mind from the external world betraysl IL
self in many of the eccentric habits AZ
tributed to men and women OF genius
Here again johnson serves as a good in'
stance His inconvenicnt habit OF sud
denly breaking out with scraps OF tne
Lords Prayer in fashionable assembly
marks distinctly dangerous drifting
away of the inner life from the firm an
chorage of external fact. In the cases
Just considered we have to do with .
kind of mental blindness to outer CIR
cumstances. A further advance along
the line of intellectual degeneration
seen in the persistence of vivid ideas,
commonly anticipations OF evil OF soms
kind. which have no basis in externa
reality. Johnson's dislike to particula'
alleys in his London walks, and MINE;
de Staels bizarre idea that she wouIu
suffer from cold when buried, may pe
taken as examples of these painiui u.
lusions or idees fires. A more seriou.
stage of such delusions Is seen 10 'ne
case of Pascal. who is said to have peeu
