In the course OF the discussion Mr.. Hoar
made vehement denunciation OF the criti-
cism and abuse so generally INDUCED in by
some Senators and by the newspapers in
relation to the River and Harbor bill. He
was sick, he said, OF hearing Senators try
ing TO b!scken the characters OF their asso-
ctsfes in public life by charging that the
River and Harbor bill was made up Of mis-
erable bargains, log-rollings and c6eatings.
The bill was then passed as originally re-
ported from the Senate Committee on Com
merce. As it finally passed the Senate it
appropriated see Az, 7s2. having been in

son demanded its reading in full in order tn

bile the Offering OF motion for the passage

of 81 pages, and called for the reating. a

sume all the time up TO 8 o'cloSk and the

previous order. In the interest of the con-
vCnience of members and clerks ne moved

A Young Girl Comm snded to FeIgn Death

Oincinnati Ennnirnr

Cincinnati Enquirer.
CHICAGO, ILL, Feb. 5.-DetectiYe Ma
hsftey and ]. Rood, both of Alamo, Van
Buren, county, Mich, have been in the
city a couple Of days looking for = young
man named Dwight T. Holmes, whom
they believe to be here. 1t is q case of
life and dEsth, and it is of the utmost i'm
pOrtance that Holmes be found. The
story told by Mr.. Rood is a most remark
able one, and his own daughter is party
to it. On the evening OF January his
daughter Kitty attended "tsffy pull" in
Alamo with Holmes. Tue couple accom-
psoied Miss Annette Garlanger home,
and while awaiting for Der folks
to come, they being out
somewhere, Holmes thought he would
try some OF his mesmeric powers. He
first put Miss Garlsnger under the hyp-
motto Influence, and in obedience to his
orders she smoked cigar and did other
things. Then Holmes tried his hand on
Miss Rood. She is of very nervous Or
ganizltion and subject to hysterical at
tscks. Holmes found her an easy subject,
sad compelled her to do number OF ab-
surd scts, concluding by ordering her to
feigu death. At once she became like q
corpse and respiration ceased. Holmes
was frightened and Miss GarIanger was
simply paralyzsd at the unexpected turn
things had taken, for they could not wax
en- Miss Rood at all. Holmes got the
village doctor, who gave 1t as his opinion
tnat the young lady had died of heart dis
ease. The grief stricken parents accepted
this, and the funeral occurred Friday,
January 10. Thursday night Holmes dis
appeared. AS the ccffla was being low
cred into the grave Miss Garisnger be-
came hysterical. She WAS at once
taken home, and gradually told the
story OF the case. Then there was great
rush for the cemetery, and the sexton
was surprised to see lot of men digging
away at the newly-made grave. The body
was taken home, and when the leading
physician at Paw Paw, the county seat,
DR.. Vanderburg, made critical exsmina-
ton, he said she was not dead. He ap-
piled tests, and then said che WAS 10
Z trance. Hypnotists from near and far
have b3en called but they can do nothing.
The parents think the only one who can
help their daughter Is Holmes, and II he
will only return to Alamo he will not be
prosecuted as 1t is thought he, having
put her in this hypnotic condition, he
alone can break the ponds which bind her.
Miss Rood still lies at her home as if
dead, while it is thought that Holmes is
hiding for fear he will be arrested for
msrslaughter. he is said to be very
good-lookiDg young fellow, and Of excel
lent reputation.

What tho milwaukee Brewers Say OF the
Attempt to Crush Their Organization.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, Feb. S.-The
United States Brewers Association has
taken Ia hand the trouble between the
Milwaukee brewers and their men. It is
learned that at the meeting of the Ms
tional Association which was held in
New York last week private circular to
all members OF the association was
drawn up. This was to-day submitted
and adopted by the Milwaukee associa-
ton, and will be forthwith distributed to
the members. The Brewers Union has
also issued a manifesto and to-d.y
copies were being mailed from this city.
1t is headed "An Appeal to Organized
Labor and Its Friends in the United States
and Canada" Fifty thousand copies OF
this circular have been printed in both
English and German. After going over
the details of the strike the circular says:
"Hence it must be clear TO all unbiased
minds that just as the judicial murder at
Chicago was intended to terrorize the
universal movement for the emancipation
of labor into timorous apathy so here,
too, an attempt is being made in
conformity with the reactionsry spirit
ROW everywhere rampant, to crush out
all organized labor as such and further
more 10 cripple the independent political
power of the largest union in the north
west st time when, with the approach
OF the spring election, all eyes are again
on MilEaukee. Marx well the fact:
Every swallow of Milwaukee beer now
means the support of non-union labor
and the persecution Of fair labor"
