STRIKERS OUT IN THE COLD.
Some of the New York Roads VIII Have
Nothing to DO With the Old Hands.

New YORK, Feb. 5.-There is very little to
be said about the street car tie-up to-day be-
yond the fact that all the roads that ran cars
yesterday are running again to-day, most Of
them on schedule time, and all of them meet
ing the demands of the traffic Even the Belt
Line started out boldly this morning. AT y
O'Clock this line had fifteen cars running. The
first car on the downtown end of that line was
preceded and followed by patrol wagon filed
with police. but the precantion was unneces-
sary. for all the cars that followed proceeded
without molestation. Very many OF the strikers
are applying for re-engagement, but some Of
the roads, notably the Fourth avenue line,
will have nothing TO do with them.
ONLY ONE LINE STILL IDLE.
At 11:30 O'Clock the Ninth avenue line was
the only line that had no cars running. This
line has taken on enough men TO run all their
cars, and are only waiting for police detail TO
make start. Supt. Murray stated this morn
ing that he was ready to help the Ninth avenue
start their cars, and had been waiting 70 hear
from the company. Now that he knows they
are ready the detail will be made al once and
it will doubtless soon be fact that not line
of cars in New York is tied up.
BROOKLYN LINES REsUMING OPERATIONS
NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-The Fifth Avenue street
car line in Brooklyn is running cars guarded
by police to-day IL is expected that all the
week. President Richardson to-day refused 10
hold n conference with a committee of the
strikers. He said he was running 2O2 cars to-
day on two lines of his road. and would make
an effort tomorrow to put the whole system ia

THE CONSTITUTIONAL QUESTION.
Mr.. Rayner said that if the gentleman from
Alabama had delivered his constitutional
speech sixty-fve years ago it might have at
racted attention 10 some extent. He
thought that the question had been closed as
70 whether or not Congress had the constitu-
gentleman had cited decisions of the Supreme
Court rendered half century ago,
while within the last year there
had been decision after decision that
an act of this sort was constitutional and came
within the power Of Congress to regulate COM
meree between the states. The building Of the
canal through Nicaragua and the Incorporation
OF company for that purpose were regula-
ton OF commerce under the constitution, and
the Supreme Court had virtually and substan-
tally so decided. The fact that this was canal
through q republic of Central America made
no difference. IL would make no difference il
the canal were to be dug through Italy pro-
vlded that concessions we're made and COM
merce would be expedited
The only question presented was-would the
canal expedite commerce; and the answer was
that it would expedite commerce by shortening
the distance around the coast 2, 500 miles. He
defended the action of the conferees in re-
cedlng from the amendment requiring the
printing on the obligations of the company a
statement of
THE GOVERNMENTS LACK OF LIABILITY.
1t was this amendment which was intended
to kill the bill. 1t was intended
to intimidate investors. 1t required
the company to brand on its stock
in blazing letters the statement that the gov
ernment is not responsible for the debts of the
company.
Mr.. Cobb inquired whether the company
would not brand on its stock in blazing letters
the statement that it had been incorporated by
the United States government.

Persons Of Weak VIII Not AIwnys the Most

DR.. James in Globe-Democrat.
The hypnotic experiments now being made
in st. Louis have demolished the popular
idea about mesmerism; that is. that the
person St strong will can, by simply exer-
cising it, influence the weaker will. That
is untrue, to great extent The person Of
the weak viii can hypnotize him of the
stronger will if the subject consents to sub
NIT himself to the influence OF the operator.
In our St. Louis experiments we have found
that those accustomed to obedience sink
most quickly into the hypnotic state and
give the best results while they are hypno-
tized. They are in the habit of subordin-
ating their own wills to those Of others, and
so it is easy for them to yield themselves en-
tirely to the commands of the person who is
hypnotizing them.

are now a dozen earnest and thoughtful
men, skilled in the treatment'of various dis
eases, now working away at hypnotism.

AN IDEAL QUAKER CITIZEN.
The Great influence Of John G. whittier
Among His NeIghbors.

The Great Influence Of John G. whittier
Among HIS Neighbors.
Amesbury Letter in Baltimore Au0rican,1
His great popularity at home is due less
to his fame than to his loEg record of Just
dealing and honorable conduct. He is the
ideal Quaker citizen. Although spending
much of his timein visits to a favorite cousin
at Oak Knoll, Danyers, or in New York or
Philadelphia, his home continues to be in
Amesbury. His poems reflect the hills; the
valleys, the forests the rivers, and even the
sayings and doings Of the people that sur
round him. "Tenting on the Beach, was
inspired by some of his neighbors who were
accustomed to spend a season each summer
in their tent upon what is now known as
salisbury Beach. Whittier was often
their guest, and the few remaining members
of the group, once went to assemble on the
sands Of old ocean, still enjoy repeating the
stories and the jokes at which they all once
laughed so heartily Whittier is no humor-
lst himself, although no one enjoys an
amusing narrative more than he in his quite
way.
The poets habits are, nowadays, very
regular. In fact, the saying goes that his
neighbors time themselves by his move
ments. His home is large double house
on Friend street, which is so named because
upon it is situated the little, white meeting
house which the poet attends when in
Amesburv
