HER STRANGE AWAKENING.
She Cannot Speak Word, Bat is In

Caused by Excitement at a
Religious Revival.

ANNOY, LIS, Jan. 27. Miss Grace Grad
ey, who awoke day or two ago after
,eing in a trance for nine months, seems
o be in good health, having lost but lit.
Ie flesh, but she cannot converse, the
Oower Of articulation having left her.
She only answers in unmeaning cultural
zones. About nine months ago Amboy
experienced a great religious awaken.
ing, The entire community became en-
hused and the meetings were very
largely attended. Among the most en-.
ihusiastic attendants was Miss Gradley,
i handsome young lady OF eighteen
years. One night she returned from
meeting in a high state OF excitement
md went to bed in the same state OF
mind, although otherwise in perfect
health. The next day she could not be
troused from a deep sleep into which
,he had fallen. Doctors were called In
aud all known remedies applied to no
fleet. The girl slept on day after day,
aeyer once awakening or even rousing
up. Her eyes were tightly closed and
her cheeks flushed, while her lips were
parted in q half smile. II sesiued as
though she were about to awake at any
but her sleep was utterly pr0-
found. She took nourishmel of a
form from spoon, the act Of swa allowing
being perfectly natural. The case at
;racted physical attention from all parts
u the country, and the conclusion on
heir part was that the religious excite
nent had mentally overtaxed the girl in
IN abnormal manner, producing abeo-
ute suspension OF mind activity.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-The brief OF
Attorney General Miller in reply to the
application OF the Canadian gov.
ernment for writ Of prohibi-
ton in the case of the W. P. sayward,
libelled for catching seal in Bering Sea
forty.nine miles from shore, was fled
with the Supreme Court. The Govern.
ment of the United States supposes the
filing OF the portion for writ OF pro.
hibitiou TO the District Court OF Alaska
in this case for the following reasons:
First-That the Supreme Court has no
mower in any case to issue o writ OF pro-
hibition to the Sitka court because it is
not a District Court Of the United States,
being merely a territorial court. He
argued further that the question
az Jurisdiction OF the Alaska court which
the petitioners seek to present, cannot
he raised on the record OF the admiralty
proceedings on fle with the Supreme
Court; because the face Of these pro
ceedings show jurisdiction in the Alaska
court, and alter sentence in such cases
he argued, prohibition will not issue:
In concluding his argument he held
that, conceding all the facts avered in the
petition, the question Of Jurisdiction oi
the Alaskan court depends upon the ex
tent Of the dominion Of the United
States in Bering Sea, He maintained
political question is to be de
cided by the political department
Of the Government, the executive ant
Congress, both OF which have decidec
aVaiIgk petitioners contention, and thiI
decision, be held, must be conclusive
upon the Judiciary. No consideration
whatever, the Attorney General said
Ned been given in his answer tc
the ouestion OF International law
which is now aud has been for th'
past six years the subject Of diplomatic
correspondence between Great Britain
and the United States, with reference to
the right Of this country to assert a ter

10 the extent Of protecting II
seal fisheries beyond the three mill
| limit ordinarily 6xed as the boundary o

bordering on the sea. Such question
I tho Attorney General respectfully in

on the war path again in the spring, as
not over 100 Of them had been disarmed

L,t,ler's TestImony-Ho Tries TO Fix the
Date of Cameron's Purchase.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. 27.-In the
silver pool investigation to-day, Mr..
David B. Littler was recalled and ques'
toned further regarding the time OF
Senator Cameron's purchase of silver
and OF its disposition.
Mr.. Littler explained that he did not
want it understood that 100000 worth
Of silver was exactly the amount that
the Senator purchased. It might have
been somewhat lese, for it was purchased
in rupees. Mr.. Cameron told him that
the check for the margin put up lSS, ,OOOl
was dated the fifth Of May. He had
talked with a great many people on the
silver question while in Washington last
year, but had no interest in purchases
and did not (of his reCollectton) suggest
to member OF the House or Senate, OF
to any government official, the buying
Of silver.
To Mr.. Rowell Mr.. Littler said he was
not engaged in lobbying or influencing
members Of Congress in behalf OF legts-
lation. He had no interest in the silver
bill except as a citizen OF the United
States. In reply to Congressman Ding
ley's inquiry as to the date OF the sale
Of Mr.. Uameron's boldipg, Mr.. Llttlel
could not remember exactly, but taking
Mr.. Cameron's check OF profits as basis
Of speculation, the date OF sale must
have been Ave or six days preceding
that date, or possibly month. His bes
recollection was that tho silver was sold
before the bill was passed.

A Crazy Stallion aud u JaoRass Indulge in
Prize Fight.
LEXINGTON, KY, Jan. ga battle to
the death took place in Mercer county
between valuable saddle stallion and a
jsckass belonging to William Thouss, a
stock raiser. A few days ago mad dog
bit Thomas's little boy and the horse.
The latter went mad and began kicking
down the door of the jackass' stable.
The jackass retaliated, and for Is min
utes they fought, using their teeth,
heels and foreieet. Finally the jackass
tore loose the stallion's left ear with his
teeth, and the horse then bit a piece
from the jackass' neck. This seemed to
make the jaCkass more ferocious than
ever, aud grabbing the lower part Of the
horses neck in his teeth, he tore out his
windpips, but the high mettled stallion
did not give up, and, before falling, he
kicked the jackass in the leg, breaking
it just below the hook. He then fell
dead. The jackass uttered long, low
bray, and went to hia stable. He was
covered with blood and go fearfully
wounded that his master killed him TO
put him out Of his misery. The boy was
treated with mad stone. The stone
stuck three times, ana he shows no signs
of rabies. 1t is believed that he will re-

who introduced it, in arguing in favor
Of its passage said: "In casting your
votes on this resolution you are doing
that which in all probability will seal
the fate Of the force bill in the Senate OF

the other side OF the House who repre-
sent Chicago expect any favors from this
side of the House in regard to the Fair,
YOU must properly record your votes on

can side l say II our Senators in

this resolution is passed to-day, this side
OF the House will not vote dollar for

This last remark OF Mr.. Springer ere.
ated somewhat OF a sensation on the Re-
publican side, but as the previous ques-
ton had been ordered the debate was
closed, and there was no opportunity
for any one TO answer. On call OF the
