LONDON, May S.-The collapse OF the
bimetallic movement in the House Of
Commons on Friday, when Mr.. Samuel
Smiths motion that the government
eudeayor 10 secure a stable par of ex-
change for gold and silver by interns-
tional agreement was counted out with
out discussion, following so closely up
on the bimeta'hc conference, has caused
much comment The secretary OF the
timetable league explains the apathy
OF the House toward bimetallic move
ment by saying that il was due TO the
fact that Mr.. Smiths motion had only
toe second place at the evening sitting
and the rules OF the House prevented a
division, as il was considered that the
attendance was so small as to serve no
practical purpose, and especially as a
full days discussion would be secured
later when 4 division could occur.

A few weeks ago a committee went 10
the peOiteCtiary warden, after certain
rumOrS had been abroad, and requested
to be shown the modes Of punishment
for recalcitraut convicts. The warden
obliged the committee by showing the
e. "cellsr." the "strait-jacket, the pad
de-" the "ducking tub" and the hun
ming bird"
Any ons of these punishments IS tor
turous. 1t Is a singular fact that the
men who are intrusted TO inflct punish
ment 10 state rsformatories are usually
selected on account OF their brutal in
stincts and their fondnesS for INDUCING
in the horrible. IL would not be expect
ed Of penitentiary management that
IL would employ a kind hearted, sym
pathetic man for this sort Of work.
But while coDceding that some con-
lets are so refractory as to warrant
rene punishment, il is a fact that
Le punishment inflicted Is, for the
most part. brutal and without excuse.
The warden Of the Ohio state reform
atory was not satisfied With the duck
ing tub" the paddle" and the "hum-
ming bird as means Of punishment.
He has placed IN the prison, in addition,
what is known as the sweat box.
That the punishment inflicted in this
box is cruel aud brutal no other
evidence is wanting than the fact that
the warden kept II concealed from the
legislative committee. A few days later
the committee learned that ii had been
deceived, and 10 was intimated 20 the
Herald representative that the COM
mitta0 was about 10 make another visit
awhen Its chairman received a tip
that as Governor Mckinley had al
ready been annoyed at the mismanage-
ment % the penitentiary, as well the
other state institutions, il would be
good politics to let the "sweat-bOX'
featuIR drop.
The HCrOlFS representative, who
was in Columbus at the time, looked
up the secret torture, and, though the
warden OF the penitentiary succeeded
in fooling the legislative committee, be
did not succeed IN deceiving the
Herald The facilities given its rep
resentative enabled him 10 obtain
photographs OF the sweat boxes" as
well as the manner Of punishment in
ficted Ia them.
There are six small, rudely cOnStrust-
ed huts within the prison inclOSure.
Each hut is just large enough 10 admit
an ordinary sized human, and the
height is not sufficient TO permit the

There Is an organization composed OF
men who have had a good deal to do
with criminals. The principal object
oil the organization is to reform the man
who has been a convict, provided the
man has any inclination In that direc-
tion, or II ne has not become so hard
ened In prison on account Of repeated
cruelty that he cannot reform.
Ia. the Ohio penitentiary at Columbus
there Is large number OF convicts.
some OF whom are notorious in criminal
history. Extreme measures have been
resorted TO in Furnishing offenders. But
the organization referred TO in the
opening paragraph OF this article might
md something 10 do II il investigated
some OF the features Of the Ohio peni-
tentiiary. The institution has been
very unfortunate under the present
Ohio administration. The legislature
has been called upon TO look into il,
but as the present legislature is a part
OF the political machinery OF the pres
ent administration the Investigations OF
the legislative committee have fallen

JUDGE KICKS INQUIRY.
Congregational Subcommittee Begins lts
Investigation at Cleveland.

Conversational Subcommittee Begins Its
Investigation at Cleveland.
CLEVELAND, Nov q. The house SUBJ
committee on judiciary, appointed to
investigate the charge brought by the
Central Labor union against United
States Judge Augustus J. Kicks. began
it's inquiry in the federal building
here Monday.
The charge made by the Central La
Dor union against Judge Kicks is, in
brief, that while acting in the capacity
of special examiner in some forty
patent cases he failed to turn over
about $1,000 in fees belonging to the
government. 1t is alleged that after
Kicks was appointed United States
Judge he approved his own accounts
as special examiner in these cases.
The session was opened by Arnold
Green for the prosecution, who read
the charge made by the labor union.
Virgil P. Kline replied for the de-
PENDANT at length. He stated that
Judge Kicks had in 1898 made full
report of the matter at issue,
and had received assurances from
the department OF justice that
his sta cement was satisfactory
and his accounts correct Arnold
Green, for the prosecution, admitted
that Judge Kicks had rendered the re-
port, as stated, but that he did not do
SO until ten years after the fees had
been collected. He charged that Judge
Kicks had only made his corrected re-
DOrt and RENTED the fees at that late
time to avoid any possible scandle.

OTTAWA, Ont Nov 27.--Sir Charles
Topper, minister of marines and fish
cries, who was Canada's agent at the
Paris arbitra tion, discredits the re-
port that the United States govern.
ment has asked Great Britain to con-
sent to the prohibiting of the killing
of seals next season. He says:
Had the United States entertained rea-
sonable proposal made, the seal fisheries
would have suffered far less than they are
likely to do under the present regulations. We
saw the danger Of depletion through q wrong
idea OF what the close season should be. We
said that il the states would give our seal
ers good summers work we would
agree to prohibit sealing during the win
ter and spring months. when the seals are
over 26, 600 skins Or ~ per cent. of the total
catch. The whole number Of iema les taken in
Behring sea was S. per cent. of the catch, a
fact that contradicts the United States asser-
ton that for every male seal killed three fe-
males are slaughtered
