bill held meeting, and heard arguments from
Senator Butler and Representative Elliott in

corporated into separate bill.

Special Gable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Jan. S.-Besides the forthcoming
lord mayors banquet Minister Phelps will be
entertained previous to his departure for
America at number of gatherings. One of
the most important is the banquet to be given
him January 16 by the Fishmongers' company.
This company is one of the few old city guilds
which really exercise trade functions, one of
their duties being the destruction of all fish
brought to London that are unfit for food.
1t is remarkable also among the city COM
panies for its attachment to civil and religious
liberty. At the present moment the two chief
officials, the prime warden and renter
warden, Sir James Lawrence and John War
rem, are both Unitarians, the non-conformists
forming majority of the members. On the
occasion of Geribaldi's visit to London he was
entertained by the Fishmongers, and bust of
Garibaldi adorns the vestibule of the COM
panys hall in London Bridge.

All Had the Same Dream.

1t is most singular fact that under
certain combined conditions of fatigue,
discomfort and malaria whole bodies of
men-such as companies of soldiers
have been seized by the same terrific
dream, and have been awakened stimuli
taneously shrieking with terror. Such
an instance is related by Laurent,
when, after forced march, 500 French
soldiers were packed in ruined Gala
brian monastery which could ill-accom-
modate half that number. At midnight
frightful cries issued from every corner
of the building rs frightened men
rushed from it, each declaring that it
was the abode of the evil one-that they
had seen him in the form of n big black
deg, who threw himself upon their
breasts for an instant and then disap-
peared. The men we're persuaded to
return to the same shelter on the next
night; their officers promising to keep
watch beside them. Shortly after mid
night the same scene was re-enacted-
the same cries, the same fight, as the
soldiers rushed forth in body TO es
cape the suffocating embrace of the
black dog. The wakeful officers bad
seer nothing The Ardosy
