George Hamilton asked in the house Of COM
mons yesterday that f1O,OOO, 900 be appropri-
ated from the consolidated fund for the pro-
posed increase of the navy, and that the re-
mainder of the sum required be provided for
in the ordinary estimates. He promised that

proposed to build eight frst-class men-of-war
of 14.008 tons each, and two of 5000 tons; nine

SOME CURIOUS DREAMS.
The Work of the Society of Psychical
Research.

New Haven Special to New York Times
Harlow Gale. '65, postgraduate student at
Yale, is the local agent Of the American Society
for Psychical Research, and has for more than
year been making investigations among the
students OF condolences between real events
and dreams or Authorizations. This society
was formed in 1887, with headquarters in Bos-
ton. The members believe that the coincidence
of dreams and incidents is caused by the trans
terrence or interchange Of mind between the
person affected by the incident and the dreamer,
and they are endeavoring to theorize on the con-
Meeting link. The Psychologists hope to effect
a complete demonstration by comparing the
phenomena connected with dreams with the
phenomenon Of mesmerism and it Is in that line
that the researches are now being made.
Last year MIR. Gale received about one thou
sand answers. Thirteen per cent of the per-
sons interviewed had had dreams or hallucina-
tions of remarkable vividness, and of these six
had conceded with actual occurrences. Mr.
Gale says that this is a very good average
Most Of the cases were of painful incidents,
which goes to substantiate the idea that trouble
is the strongest bond between kindred minds
Mr.. Gale gives as an illustration the case of an
academic student who has brother in a gov
eminent position on an island off the coast of
China. The student wildly dreamed that his
brother was attacked by the natives. Shortly
alterWaru ne received caDleRram tnat MS
brother had taken part in suppressing native
instruction and was severely wounded. The
details received later show that the facts were
Just as the student had dreamed. A theologi-
cal student testified that he had been greatly
impressed by dream that a friend had fallen
and shot himself while out hunting, and the
next morning he received a dispatch that the
person Of whom he dreamed had been killed in
exactly those circumstances.
Another case which is noted by Mr.. Gale con-
Germs murder in the eastern part of Connec-
ticut. A husband and wife in a manufacturing
town suddenly disappeared and nothing was
known of their whereabouts. After time the
wife's mother arrived at the village. She had
not known of her daughters disappearance,
but had dreamed that the young woman had
been drowned by her husband and buried in a
secluded part Of the woods. She prevailed on
the village officers to accompany her to the
spot, and there the buried body was found
The time of the dream conceded with the time
Of disappearance, and though the husband
could not be convicted on such evidence, pub
lie sentiment found him guilty. Other cases
investigated by Mr.. Gale are given by promi-
nent New Haven people whose testimony will
be undoubted, and they will be of value to the
society.

Give Il to the Police Fund.

10 the Editor Of TN EVENING STAR:
II would be generous and worthy act il q
good portion of the surplus of the Inauguration
committee funds were given to the police fund.
No body Of men in this city worked harder or
with more discretion than our police did, night
and day, during the past week. Besides, it is
one of the most deserving charities. II is a
shame that Congress has thus far refused to
pension the men who, while protecting life and
property, lose their health and even life, thus
forcing them to contribute out of the pittance
OF their pay the means to subsist their disabled
comrades, their widows and orphans. Fully
one-half of the money given the so-called poor
Is wasted on tramps and professional beggars.
Every cent given to the police fund helps q
worthy man, woman or child, to whom the citi-
zens are indebted. Give the police fund a lift.

The Fight Against Yellow Fever.

DISCUSSION AND RESOLUTIONS BY THE QUARAN-
TINE CONFERENCE AT MONTGOMERY.
At the quarantine conference at Montgomery,
Ala, yesterday, an interesting paper was read
by DR.. d. NJ. Burgess of tho United States ma
rine hospital service, stationed at Havana.
resolution was adopted calling on the govern
ment for better patrol service on the coast of
Florida.
Surg.-Gen Hamilton said the United States
government should have a physician attached
to every consulate in foreign ports where yellow
fever and other infectious diseases are liable to
break out in order to secure to the government
through consular agents reliable Information
for the protection of the American people. A
resolution indorsing DR.. Hamilton's proposition
was adopted.
DIR. Hamilton offered resolution giving the
opinion of the conference that all nations
should endeavor to eradicate plague centers
from their territory; that the existence of such
plague centers is menace to other nations,
and that our State department be requested to
notify other nations of this action. Adopted
The president appointed a committee, con-
sisting of one from each state represented, to
prepare and formulate rules and regulations to
control and enforce guarantees. The confer
ence adjourned sine die.

Miss Harriet WRITINGS Concert.

One of the most enjoyable concerts Of the
season was the testimonial to Miss Harriet
Whiting. at the Universalist church, last night
Miss Whiting attracted considerable notice
some years ago by the rich promise which her
voice offered. and her friends were more than
gratifed to find last night that this promise had
been abundantly fulfilled After long study
under the most competent instructors, both in
this country and abroad, Miss Whiting returns
with an organ rich in tone, wide in range,
and of volume ample to meet any demands
that may be made upon it. Her voice is a pure
contralto, with that peculiar reedy quality so
rarely met with, and which is so grateful and
pleasing to the ear. 1t is round, full and
resonant, and with a perfect evenness of tone
throughout its entire register. Miss Writings
selections last night were sufficiently varied to
show her range of intelligent Interpretation,
the first being Mattefs Native Land" the
second Sullivan's Lost Chord" and the final
number Braga's angels Serenade" To her
first two numbers she was obliged to respond
again, and gave PUSSY and the OWL and
annie Laurie" 1t was in the Lost
Chord that her voice appeared to
its best advantage and its opulence
of melody completely captivated her
hearers. There was bit OF nervousness evil
denced in her nann,r, naturally induced by
an anxiety to do we'll before her old friends,
but when this shall wear of by experience and
frequent appearance before the public, there is
no one now upon the concert stage VINO COM
bines SO many elements of success in voice,
culture, and musical intelligence as Harriet
Whiting
Miss Writings assistants were Mr.. David
Whitney, son of the eminent baseo and him
self bass singer of fine voice, which has been
carefully trained, though it has not yet reached
the maturity of its power; Mr.. Lee w. Sum-
ner, a tenor, whose tone is rather sharp but
reliable; Miss Birdie Lucas, whose skilf as a
violinist is well known; MIR. Josef Kaspar, who
played the violin obligato to the Angels Sere-
made exquisitely; Mr.. Ernest Markee, pianist,
and Mr.. Jarvis Butler, organist.
