strength and the Hair.

The discussion as to abundance of hair
being evidence of strength has again
come up, some arguing that there was
nothing novel in Samson's strength being
in his hair, and others that as rule the
strongest men are least blessed with an
abundant hair covering. There are
necessarily exceptions to all rules, but
most freaks of strength of modern times
have luxuriant hair. There are five or
six women now travelling with dime
museum shows, lifting enormous
weights with their hands or teeth, and
performing other extraordinary feats Of
strength, and nearly all of them have
magnificent heads of hair.
Among prize fighters the same rule
applies, and although athletes generally
keep their hair cut very close to the
head, they usually have very thick
growth of hair and are seldom bald.
Ancient history is delved into a great
deal in the discussion, but the fact re-
mains that the strongest men of today
have in almost every instance not only
heavy heads Of hair, but also quite a
substantial growth on the chest and
arms. 1t may be that excessive bodily
vigor and activity promote the growth
of hair, or that the hair itself is an evi-
dence of strength, but whichever may
be the cause and the effect, the colnbi-
nation exists as very general rule.

the sense of the committee is in favor OF
a free coinage bill. The resolution Mr..
Pierce today introduced was merely to
test the sense of the committee upon the
silver question. After some discussion
it was decided to postpone the resolution
until next Wednesday, to await the full
attendance of the members of the com
mittee. Evidently the majority OF the
committee are favorable to the resolu-
tion, but we thought there should be a
fair opportunity for full discussion. l
think the temper of the committee is to
take up the subject without delay and re-
port free coinage bill to the House at
an early day. There will be no Ameri-
can product about it or any other imita-
tions. 1t will be a general free coinage
bill and, in my opinion, such bill will
pass the House."
The resolution presented by Mr.. Pierce
at today's meeting read as follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this commit
tee that a bill for free and unlimited coinage Of
silver should be reported to the House without
delay.
The action of the committee on coinage
has suddenly revived the movement of
prominent Democrats far a joint caucus
to determine the policy to be adopted by
the party on the silver issue.

Stated by Judge Foster.
WASHINGTON, January 13.-The final
report of Captain Schley, commanding
the cruiser Baltimore, in regard to the
assault on the sailors of that vessel at
Valparaiso was received at the Navy De-
partment today. In it, Captain Schley
positively states that the only interview
he ever had with Judge of Crimes Fos-
ter of Chill, on the subject of the attack
on the Baltimores sailors occurred short
ly after that event and before its full
gravity was understood at Valparaiso.
Captain Schley says that Judge Foster
expressly stated to him that the cause of
the attack was the hatred of the lower
class of Chilians for Americans, and be-
cause of, the belief that the Americans
had been on the side of Balmaeeda. This
expression by Judge Foster is regarded
by naval officers as highly significant in
view of his subsequent statement in re-
card to the Baltimore incident. The in
terview took place before the receipt of
thePresident's note calling on theChilian
government for reparation.
