The question of the duration Of
dreams has recently been discussed in
Germany, among others by DIR. +.
ScholZ. who has given some striking
examples from his own experience and
observation. 1t is not possible to
give definite answer, and probably
enough dreams vary very much in
point of duration, just as they vary in
force and vividness. At one time the
figures of a dream, whether they
emerge from the horn of the ivory
gate, are as real as life; the sorrow is
even more intense, the happiness
more realistic. At another time they
seem to live only in pale moonlight.
and we watch the scenes rather than
participate in them. 1t is very certain
however, that the majority of dreams
are only of momentary duration.
though extended occasionally to the
length of minute.
In proof of this DIR. Scholz tells
the following story from his expert
ence: After excessive bodily fatigue
and day of mental strain, of a not
disagreeable kind, l betook myself TO

placed it or the night table. Then

of drift wreckage came ashore at Sand

A Railrn.d HCIsarinr Houns.


CHICAGO, Nov. Regarding the
much-talked-of conference between
Chairman Midgeley and several rail-
road magnates in New York, local
paper says: For several weeks past Jay
Gould c. Z. Huntington, Charles Fran
els Adams, w. B. Strong and other
railroad magnates interested in west
ern railroads, have been holding con-
ferences in New York in which Chair
man Midgeley of the Southwestern
Railway association has taken prom
inent part. The object of these con-
ferenceS has been kept profound Sc
pcIet. Saturday night the announce
ment was made that the conferences
had come to an end and that an agree
ment had been made whereby the trou-
bles among the southwestern roads
would be ended ana rates be advanced
from % to 50 per cent as soon as posi-
bic. But this announcement was nc
nearer the truth than the previous To
ports regarding the mysterious confer
ence. The railroad magnates evident
ly desired to keep every body in ignor-
ance of the actual Importance of the
proposed agreement until all arrange
ments had been perfected and the new
scheme put in operation. 1t has been
learned, however. that the project con-
templates nothing more OF less than
the formation of gigantic railroad
trust, or clearing house, compris-
ing all roads between points west Of q

be an executive board of three, which
shall devote its entire attention to the
affairs of the clearing house, and al
matters connected Herewith. One OF
the three is to be elected chairman OF

to be known as vice chairman and com

AUBURN, N. Y, Nov. 27.-The first
of the famous opium smuggling cases
was moved at the opening of the United
States court this mornng. The de-
PENDANT is Edwin A. Gardner, who has
been indicted for smuggling an aggre-
gate of $500 pounds Of opium upon
which the customs at SO per pound
amounted TO So, 600. Gardner was
once a special agent of the government
when he acquired full knowledge
of the methods Of the customs collec-
tions. He was arrested In February
while attempting to remove q sleigh
load of smuggled opium from Jefferson
county for shipment west. A hidden
store-house of the sTnugglers was also
found and $50 pounds of opium recov-
cred. Gardner claimed TO be
a government officer working up case.
The officers searched his hiding
place and unearthed an old tool
chest which must have been used in
conveying opium across the st. Law
renee. 1t had compartments fitted to
hold half pound packages of opium in
cans. One of the branches of the case
| is trial for conspiracy which Is ex-
pected to take place at this term OF
court. The captured opium had been
placed in the OgdeRSbufg custom
house and the case OF conspiracy Is an
alleged combination to steal the opium
packages and substitute blocks OF
wood for the double purpose of getting
the opium and destroying the evidence.
After 800 pounds had been removed
and Deputy Internal Reve-
nue. Collector Lyttle. whose
Office is next to the room in which the
opium was stored, Lawyer Stone and
/ Janitor COmiskey were arrested on tile
charge of conspiracy and theft. Gard
ner who had given bail was subsequent
ly again arrested at Chicago while try
ing to sell the opium he had been dick
ering with Cinnamon who went to
custom officer to see if it was all -righ
and the officer saw that it was SNUG
gled. John Chains, a prominent law
yer of Seattle, Washington territory
is also one of the defendants in TIL
part of the case. Gardner was brOugh

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 27.-The presi-
dent elect had number of distin-
guished visitors to-day including Sena-
tor John C. SpOOner, of Wisconsin. and
Captain Gray, of Cleveland, who COM
manded battery in General Harri-
sons brigade.
The visit of Senators Allison aid
SpoOner bore the appearance of having
been prearranged as Senator SpOOner
came from Washington, while Senator
Allison came from Iowa en- route to
Washington. Their presence in the
city put the newspaper correSpon-
dents in fiutter and both dis
tinguished gentlemen were con-
stantly besieged for Information
but the correspondents found them
rather dry picking and exceedingly I'M
communicative touching General Har-
risOn on cabinet probabilities. Sena-
tor Allison stated that he merely stop
| ed over en- route to Washington to pay
| enjoy little visit with him.
Senator SpOoner said he merely
stopped off Ell route west to
| personally congratulate the general
| MIR. Allison left for Washington this
| evening and Mr.. Spooner for Chicago
The latter expects to return to Wash
ington tomorrow evening. What
significance if any attaches to theil
visit can only be conjectured at thii
writing. The two senators called to
gether at General HarriSon's residence
shortly after dinner and remained ii
conversation with the preSident-elec
an hour or more. About 4 O'Clock theI
emerged from the residence accompa
MED by General Harrison and the da
being delightful they all walked dow

INDIANAPOLIS. Nov. 27.-The gener-
al assembly knights of Labor compile
ted its work and took "a final adjourn
ment at l O'Clock this afternoon. A
great deal of business, most OF 1t OF
minor Importance, was hurried through
with the closing session.
The committee on law completed its
report by recommending that the
temperance plank in the constitution
remain unchanged and the recommend
alton was adopted after considerable
wrangling. The Chicago and New
York delegates wanted the article
amended 50 as to prevent the selling OF
intoxicants at public entertainments
given by the order.
In selecting a place for the next
meeting it was decided that the city
receiving the highest number OF votes
should be referred to the general ex'
| ecutiVe board with Instructions to
select the city out of the three which
offered the best Accommodations. The
cities bidding for the session received
the following votes: Atlanta, 80; New
Orleans, 20; Albany, IA; Toledo, 0
Washington, 4; Toronto, 4; and Detroit
4. Either Atlanta, New Orleans OF
Albany will have to be chosen by thu
| board.

mended the appointment of a commit
tee to investigate the mistreatment

ported that members of the Organiza
ton had been shot down in that stat
/ for striking and by unanimous vote tn
/ general assembly directed the genera
executive board to make full inveS-
LEGATION and to use every means Il
have the guilty persons puni shed.
The Blair educational bill was en-
dorsed and then a resolution severel
denouncing the provincial committe
was offered. After some discussion
the resolution was referred back to tn
committee without being acted upon
4 recommendation to establish JUNO
locals was endorsed and the eXecutiv
board was instructed to prepare con
stitutiOn for the new locals. An effoT
was made to have the trouble in Dis
trict Assembly 40 of New York reopene
but it failed.
The matter of investigating the ger
eral Office at Philadelphia was called Il

Latest From Samoa.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 24.-The
steamer Mariposa, from Sidney and
Arecland, has arrived here and the
correspondent of the Associated Press
at Apia, Samoa, writes as follows I'M
der date November 9th:
Matters are daily growing worse at
Samoa instead of improving. The
American, British and German con-
sulates are guarded by platOOns of
miners from the men-Of-war, Adams,
Lizard and Adler, respectively. The
buildings are all fortified by sand bags
three or four feet. The miners
carry loaded muskets and all
persons approaching at night are
halted before they can enter the
buildings. This state of affairs went in
to operation October "a and was caused
by the acts of the Germans whose at
titude toward the American and Eng
lish as well as towards the natives is
becoming uncomfortable. A patrol OF
/ three armed sailors from the German
| man of war, Adler travels the streets OF
Apia with loaded muskets and fixed
bayonets every night. A few nights
| ago the patrol met two English gentle
men on Main street when one of The
German sailors without provOcatiOT
struck Mr.. Richie one of the English
men a heavy blow in the face
knocking him down; the Englishmen
who were not armed did not resent the
blow, but afterwards reported the affail
to the British consul. Captain Pells
of the English man-Of-war Lizard
heard of the occurrence and visited thu
British consul for the purpose of de
termining what steps should be takeE
in the matter.
TamaZez is now encamped with hi
followers, 200 IN number, at Salnath
about 100 miles from Apia. He ha

MONTREAL, Nov. 27.-One OF the
severest storms of snow ever known
here for years broke over this province
and Ontario Sunday evening and still
continues. The wind at times blew as
hard as 20 miles per hour. The streets
and surrounding country are covered
with snow drifts ten feet deep in
places ana the most severe cold pre-
walls. Horse car lines here have
stopped running. Forty-four people
were picked up by the police on the
streets Sunday night who were unable
to make their way through the storm,
being either benumbed by the cold or
bewildered by the winds. The storm
was felt more severely on
the lower st. Lawrence than anywhere
else. The steamer Pomeronian bound
for Liverpool which was grounded
at Sorel, made an attempt to reach
Quebec Sunday, with the aid of four
tugs. She got as far as BotiZau, eighty
five miles this side of Quebec, where
she anchored for the night. Yesterday
not only the steamship but the tugs
were frozen in solid. The Pomeranian
