No Extra Session 10 Be Called.

st. Louis dispatch: The latest infor-
nation from the Cherokee nation is to
the effect that Chief Mays has taken no
action yet in the matter of furnishing
facilities for the transaction of business
by the Cherokee commission, which is
expected there the Goth instant to nego-
tiate for the purchase of Indian lands.
He still declines to call the national
council in special session to consider the
matter, but says he will submit to that
body, at its regular session November
next, any proposition that the commits
sion may make. He proposed n short
time ago to call the people together to
consult with the commissioners, but
now it is said he will not even do that
unless the council viii appropriate
enough money to cover the expenses.

COMPELLED TO SIT ON THE FLOOR.
An Illinois Insane asylum that Needs Over'
hauling.

An Illinois Insane asylum that Needs Oper-
| hauling.
Chicago dispatch: The hearing OF
the application for the release of Dora
Willard, an inmate of the Cook county
insane asylum, was begun in the county
court this morning. Mrs. Shedd, of
the Woman's Protective association,
testified that the asylum was over
crowded; that there were not enough
seats for the patients, who were COM
PEELED to sit on the floor; that the coun-
ty was paying 9 cents per pound for
hogs shouts. which were fed to the pa
tents; there was much drunkenness in
the institution, and there have been
some cases of scurvy. DR.. Herman,
the present superintendent, had inn
proved the condition of CHAIRS. Mrs.
DR.. Hunt of the asylum medical staff,
testified that there were over Loco pa
TENTS in the institution, which is calcu-
lated to accommodate 900 at the out
side, and the number Of attendants was
much too limited.
Evidence was introduced that patients
were fed pigs heads for an entire year,
with potatoes for vegetables once a
week. There was no service and pa
tients fought for possession of the po-
~tatoes, with a result that the weak got
none and that over fifty of the inmates
became afflicted with scurvey. One of
the medical staff t~estifies that in II
ward there are t~hirty-eight violent pa
tients, with only nine rooms, or an aver
age of three in each room. 1t was abso-
lutely necessary to have only one or
two in some of the rooms, so that four
of the persons we're crowded into others.
These rooms are 5tx1O feet in size. The
beds are two and a half feet wide, but
in many cases two patients are forced
to sleep in them. Under such circum-
stances, with insufficient attendance,
patients would climb over the cots and
fight, and the attendants would fire.
quently be called six or eight times in a
single night to go to patients who were
attempting to commit murder or sui
eide. This state of affairs was reported
to the county board again and again,
but nothing was done to remedy it.
Much other revolving testimony was
brought in. The board Of county com-
missioners this afternoon passed a reso-
luton naming q committee of promi-
nent citizens to name a suitable person
to succeed the present superintendent,
DR.. Herman, whose management has
been so severely commented on re-

PEsTH, March 20.-When Herr Won
Tisza arrived at the lower house of the
Hungarian Diet this morning large
crowd that had gathered outside the

A warning to Shippers.

Mr.. @. F. Smurr, OF the Southern Pa.
cifc, received yesterday from Washing.
ton full copy of the amendments to the
Interstate Commerce Act, extracts from
which appeared in yesterdays HERALD.
On looking it through, another very inn
portant piece of information was dis.
covered that will scarcely be realized by
one class of shippers. 1t is to the effect
that any shipper who shall falsely mis-.
represent any article he forwards, either
by description, weight or other
means, with or without the knowl-
edge of the carrier, shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor
and liable, therefore, to punishment of
two years in the penitentiary and fine
in addition. The Interstate Commission
ers are evidently determined to handle
the traffic of the country in thorough
manner, and their new announcements,
although in many cases regarded as very
strict, are met with satisfaction by the
leading railroad representatives.

ENGLAND,s ATTITUDE.
In Thorough Accord with America
On samoan Matters.

LONDON, March 20.-The blue book on
Samoan affairs was issued to-day. 1t
contains 356 dispatches, the dates Of
which range from April 80, 1885, to Feb
ruary 25, 1889. The dispatches show
that England has been, throughout, in
cordial accord with America, and that
she declined to aocede to Germany's re-
quest for assistance and cooperation in
the restoring of order in Samoa until she
had learned the American Governments
views on the subject. On January 20,
last, Lord Salisbury complained to Count
Won Hatzfeldt, German Ambassador at
London, concerning Bismarck's state
ment in the Reichstag that, in Samoa,
Germany and England were advancing
hand in hand" The British Prime Min
lister said the views of the two countries
were identical, as far as the future gov
ernment of Samoa was concerned, but
NOT otherwise
