COMMENTS OF THE PRESS,

SENATOR HILL is giving the Senate
lots of good advice these days. Those
who tried to answer his argument
that investigating committees throw
open their doors, did not show that
they had any inviting grounds TO stand
upon. 1t was "customary" they said
and in the eyes of the committee "ex-
pedirn that secrecy be maintained.

HINsT FOR JUNE BRIDES.
Remember that in the leafy month
OF June the tribe of brides is large
and that you, therefore, are not the
most interesting object on the broad
earth to all your fellow cirizens.
Avoid dove color as you would shl n
the plague. If you must proclaim the
fact that you are just married, wear
pacard to that effect, but don't, don't
go about in the bridal travelling uni
form.
In your earnest endeavors to de-
ceive the travelling public concerning
your condition, don't fall into the
error of treating your husband as one
va little lower than porter. It is al
mostas much of a mistake to ignore
his existence or to snub him con-
stantly as it is to sit clasping his hand
and beaming on him like an imbecile.

STEVENS TESTIFIES.
The Ex- Minister to Hawaii Be-
fore the Committee.
He Offers a Copy of One Of the Dis
patches Suppressed by Cleveland
in Submitting Correspondence.

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-Ex- Minister
Stevens WAS before the subcommittee
of the senate committee on foreign re.
lations today. Senator Gray, Of Dela-
ware, examined Stevens very closely
upon points where he had been charged
by Commissioner Blount with abetting
the revolution. The ex-minister stood
by the statements he had previously
made and ne gave the committee no
opportunity to show by mis- testimony
that the United States was in any way
responsible for the revolution. Stevens
made an emphatic declaration that the
revolution would have occurred in any
event; that it was only question Of
tine and that the queen by trying to
overthrow the constitution had forced
it at the particular time when it oc-
Cured.
It is reported that Stevens furnished
the committee a copy of his dispatch to
the state department, which Cleveland
withheld when submitting the cores
pondence to congress in Decem ber and
it is said that it related to the intrigues
of the British minister. Wodehouse, for
the purpose of securing the supremacy
Of British influence in the islands.

NEW YORK, JAM 20.-Justice Barrett,
of the supreme court, was seen regard
ing the application to be made by
Lillian Russell for an order allowing
her to marry Perugini in this state.
The justice admitted that an informal
application had been made to him by
Lawyer A. H. Humme! on behalf of
Miss Russell.
The facts were presented to Justice
Barrett in an informal manner with
out being put in the form of papers and
Hummel asked for an expression of
opinion as to whether the court would
grant the order for her to marry again
in this state. The justice stated that
upon the facts presented to him he ex-
pressed grave doubt as to whether the
court would grant the order asked for.
He did not think from the facts told
him by counsel that it could be cousid-
cred that Miss Russell had lived a
uniformly good and moral life" within
the meaning OF the law for five year s
past.

ed today that Notwithstanding Justice
Barrett's opinion, Miss Russell is to
be married to Signor Perugini tomor-

the secretary has right to issue bonds
under the act of 1875, he said:
1t is my view that che law did not
contemplate the selling OF bonds to
meet current government expenses
which is really what Carlisle proposes,
but he undoubte has authority to
sell bonds to replenish the reserve. He
can do that, then pay it out for current
expenses, then sell more bonds to bring
up the reserve again and go on, but

vnsv Are Mysterious and Unfathomab1e
- Even to ModoSn Soioneo.

s>.~ Ara aaysterious and Uafathomablo
Even to paodorn Soiones.
Thst ca$ can come homo In tho face
~ almost Incredible dif{ioultiee is psr-
ssctlv certain. Thus, to take o fact as
an instance, q cat was carried from q
town on the northeast coast OF F1fe 70 q
house near Perth. 1t went In basKet
bv train to Leuchars, where 1t changed
for Dundee, and at Dundee changed Tor
Perth, Next day, about z in the morn
Ing. this cat was observed TO run down
khe avenue Of it's new home with PuH-
poseftl air. On the third day IL ap-
pesred at It's old home. ,.
Now how did that cat achieve Ito
ionrney2 Did 1t take bee line across
conntry. and, If 10, how did it know Its
d;rootionP Or did it run to Dundee, cross
Tay bridge (the railway bridge) and 80
along the line to Leuchars, negotiating
the Eden at Guard bridge2 We can
hardly suppose that 1t swan the Tay.
Or did it 60 round by the head OF Loch
Tay--a long rough journey by the XII
lin, where cat might meet many dam
gers aud temptations9 Tho perils Of
cat on the road are innumerable. Every
collie dog chases it, every ga,nekeeper
has gun for 1t, every boy Is ready with
q stone. Indeed we never see cat on
It's travels. No doubt 1t runs by night.
There is the hypothesis that the cat came
by train, changing at Dundee, and achiev.
Ing the difficult maneuver at Leuchars,
wherein many men have failed, going
back to Dundee or getting to Cupar
though not one Of them was like him
"that win to Cupar." This method Of
transit, which needs agile acuteness Of
reason In any man, may not be beyond
the powers and intelligence Of a cat.
But all conceivable ways, from the
bee line across country and over rivers
to tho course round Loeb Tay, are full
Of perpleaties. That the cat simply
rode ON o bgoomstick behind q witch is
an hypothesis which brings us into un-
friendly contact with modern ideas Of
progress. Somehow the thing was done,
and done in 48 hours. A dog spoken of
by Mr.. Romanes ran from Vienna to
Mentonne, but died Of fatigue. The cat
was as we'll and sound as usual. W.
may speak Of instinct and inherited apti
tude. but to find its old home is OF nt
use to q cat In tho struggle for existence
Cats, much more than dogs, arc indie

Thus the cats which fortuitously devel
oped tho power of "homing" would b
no bettcr off than other cats and no
more fitted to survive and bequeath thei
