LONDON, Feb. 4.-The Municipal Council
of Cambridge to-day discussed the famous
Daisy Hopkin s~pinning-house case, which
involved the arrest. some time ago, of q pref
ty young girl named Daisy Hopkin by the
college authorities, under q musty old law,
charged with walking on the public streets
with q college student, the university. by
the law. claiming to have jurisdiction over
all citizens. The young girl mentioned
was not only arrested, but was confined
in one of the college buildings known
as the s~pinning-house by order of the pro-
proctor. the Rev. Frederick Wallis. and
most cruelty treated. The affair created
such n burst of popular indignation through
out Great Britain that the proprietor de-
cided that it was advisable TO release his
prisoner. and did so. Daisy HOpkin then
became the object OF much popular SYM
patty, which was increased when she told
the full story of her imprlsonmet. The case
of Daisy Hopkin was then taken up by
the Society for the Protection of Personal
Rights, and n popular subscription was
raised 10 defray. the expenses of q suit for
damages which Miss Hopkin brought

Remarkable Case OF HoteI-Keeper McCar-
thy, Whose Respiration Il 162 q Minute.
New York Herald.
A medical phenomenon was exhibited
last Tuesday by DIR. Edward G. Janeway to
Bellevue Medical College. 1t was q robust,
healthy man. whose normal respiration has
been for the past three years at the rate of
l62 q minute. instead of the natural normal
rate OF eighteen o minute; The mans
breathing was so hard and harsh that
every one in the large lecture-roOm heard
it. and it sounded not unlike q small steam
engine.
The discovery of the case was largely
due TO accident. About q week ago q large.
rnddy-looking man walked into the college
dispensary breathing SO loudly ana quickly
that every one was startled and gathered
quickly about him to learn his trouble. He
said between breaths-for he could not ar
~iculate more than three or four words
without stopping to breathe seven or eight
tlmes-that be was Michael b. Mccarthy,
proprietor of the West End Hotel. at No.
lO1 West street, and wanted to know II the
doctors could not cure his rapid breath
ing and reduce it to the normal rate. HIS
throat. he said. was raw from the rapid
respiration. but otherwise he felt all right.
Il was formerly on the police force in
Boston, said he. One uay late in the fall
of 1886, / was going home from the station
house. and was riding on the front plat
form of an electric car. The car suddenly
swung around q curve at the corner of
Charmont and Dover streets, m / was
thrown from the platform. landing on the
street on the back of my head and shout
ders. / became unconscious when / reached
home and remained 80 for ten days. When
/ came out of the unconscious state / i'm
mediately BEGAN to breathe like q steam
engine under high pressure. and / ave
continued doing 1t ever since.
II can do no hard work. / get out of
breath 80 quickly, and once or twice O
month i fall suddenly unconscious and re-
main 90 for several hours. Sometimes I
breathe so fast the doctors amt count tho
breaths."
DR.. w. R. Green. DR.. Jsnewsy's assist
ant. made q careful examination Of tho
man and decided that not only was the
man no sham. but that q case unknown to
medical record had been found. He subse-
quently had Mccarthy meet DIR. Janeway,
and as o result Mccarthy attended the
clinic. After q careful examination the
doctors said that his trouble was due to an
injury TO the medulla oblon gaia caused by
the fall from the car. The nerves which
control the respiratory organs had been
shattered and had lost all control of the
lungs.

Explorer Fourneau's African Slayers Will
Not Be Punished by French Troops.
PARIS, Feb. "A dispatch has been re-
ccIved here from Major De Brussea. the
well-known French explorer. who Is in
command of the Char; and Lake Tchad ex-
petition in Africa. He says that he finds
it the wiser plan not to carry ont his intcn-
tion to punish the hostile tribes which at
tackled Fourneau's expedition. which SGT
out last year to explore the valley OF
Sangha Bayen. the Central Soudan and the
French Congo, but that he should contine
himself to establishing friendly relations
with hospitable chiefs. with the view to
forming a chain of military posts from the
eos & TO Lake Tehad. Such a course. he
adds. would be a great aid in the extension
of French influence in that part of Africa.
F~ourneau's expedition, above mentioned.
was attacked by natives in August last.
Sixteen of it's members were killed. and
thlrty-one. including Fourneau himself.
were wounded. All the merchandise and
many rifles were captured by the natives.
and the expedition was compelled to re-
treat. being followed for a long distance
and constantly harrassed by the enemy.

Hsrrison's Appointees.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-The confirmation
by the Senate to-day of the nomination OF
James II. Beatty. to be district judge for
Idaho. marks tho termination in favor OF
the Administrations of o struggle lasting
nearly q year which it has had with the
Idaho Senators. Mr.. Beatty was nomi-
mated Feb. 10. last. in spite of the protests
Of Senators Shoup and Mcconnell, who
sought to convince tho President that the
nomination would not be acceptable to the
people of Idaho. When it reached the Sem
ate they began q vigorous campaign against
its confirmation. producing protests signed
by the State judges and members of the
bar, and making objections to the
conduct OF the nominee during the legis-
lative proceedings which ended In the cleo
Iion Of MI. Dubois as the successor or Mr..
Mcconnell in the Senate The opposition
was able to prevent action upon the nomi-
nation during the fSw weeks that remained
OF the last session of the Ffty-first Con-
gress- Three lays after the adjournment
of Congress, however, the President ap-
pointed Mr.. Beatty to the judgeship. and
his nomination was one or the first 10 be
sent to the Senate at the beginning of the
present Congress. Again the Idaho Sena-
tors resumed the opposition TO the nomina-
tion. but for nearly a year Judge Beatty
had been diAcharging the functions or his
Office in Idaho and California. His de-
cisions had been sustained wherever an
appeal had been taken to q superior
tribunal, and IL was not possible to pick
any flaws In his judicial career. These
facts naturally had an effect favorable to
the nomination. and the Idaho Senators
soon found that several of their Repub-
lican colleagues VINO had been in sympathy
with them last year had changed their
minds. and were determined TO support the
President. A week ago Messrs. Shoup and
Dubois realized that they were defeated,
and after notifying the judiciary commit
toe that they had nothing to retract. but
did not care to follow the matter further,
they abandoned the contest and the nom-
instion was confirmed to-day without any
open opposition.
Among the other nominations confirmed
to-day were ID. p. Roberts, of Indiana. re-
