Bovinine is always safe, and l have never
yet heard of an instance that it did not

That the institution is congested to
quite degree is conceded. To remedy this
elimination has been resorted to so far as
practicable The removal of the criminal
insane to the insane department of the
prison at Thomaston was wise provision.
The patients are well and properly cared
quarters. The selection of Mr. Moody as
keeper of this department. was fortunate.
His intelligent executive ability is of a
high order All officials are pleased with
the results of this department Some pro-
vision in the near or immediate future is
demanded to relieve the present crowded
condition of the hospital. :,
The trustees devote much time. The
treasurer and steward Mr.. Campbell, gives
his department. valuable service. The
staff of physicians are each peculiarly
adapted to their several duties. The
supervisors and attendants are well
selected. The matrQn, Mrs Twitchell,
continues to prove her value. The super
intendent DIR. Sanborn, by his many years
continued service gives his entire time
to the institution, carefully guarding the
welfare of his patients.
From all officials your committee has
received kind attention and a willingness
to aid in giving them an opportunity to
get accurate and full information, for
which we are under obligations.
The patients of this hospital have for
years received many kind attentions from
Mrs. Sanborn. The many visitors and
other cares make her duties arduous,
which is appreciated.
The institution and the welfare of the in
sane should receive the kind consideration
of the State for their best good.

Insane Asylum .

The visiting committee of the Executive
Council of the Maine Insane hospital,
has rendered the following report:
To His Excellency the Governor and
Honorable Council:
Mental diseases are no respecters of per-
sons visiting those of high and low de-
gree, the royal household as well as that
of those of humble walks of life. Nor is
age respected, for the young, old and mid
dle-aged are victims, as are both sexes.
To properly care for and alleviate is
demanded. The State by her law in con-
formity to the wishes of the citizens there
of, provides the Maine Insane hospital,
supplying it's needs, governed by officers of
her own.
In accordance with these provisions,
the visiting committee of the Executive
Council for the years 1894 have the
honor to submit the following report:
The members of the committee have
singly and as a whole made frequent
visits to the institution at various times

Washington, March An interest
ing debate was precipitated in the Sen
ate today by Harris motion for the
second reading of the seigniorage bill.
This was opposed by Sherman, who
moved its reference to the finance COM
mittee, and in the course of strong
speech in opposition to the bill, said
its object was to divert a trust fund
from its legitimate purpose-a thing
which, in Ohio, would be penitenti-
airy offense. His motion was defeated,
however, and the DILL was taken up as
unfinished business and almost before
anyone was aware of what had hap
pened, it passed it's third reading and
was on the point of passing the Sem
ate
Then its opponents recovered from
their surprise, and endeavored to pre-
vent its passage. and on the request
of Senator Sherman it went over until

London, March Gladstone is SER
iously i'll as result of a chill.
Last night he dined with the late
secretary at Brooks club, and walked
home through st. James park, though
the night was raw, and became thor
oughly chilled On arrival, he was put
to bed and a physician summoned, in
spite of the remonstrance that it was
only a slight matter. This morning
his condition was such that another
physician was summoned. This after
noon one of the physicians made
public statement to the effect that the
illness was undoubtedly serious, though
in the absence of high fever, there was
no great danger at present. He is suf-
firing from hoarseness and is kept
in bed, in spite of his remonstrances,
declaring that he will be all right in a
day or two. His doctors do not agree
with this view and declare that he
must not leave BED till considerable
improvement has taken place.
The report of his illness spread with
remarkable rapidity and inquiries as
to his condition are coming in from
many quarters.
The following bulletin was issued to-
night by Gladstone's physicians:
Gladstone is suffering from a trouble
some cough, due to catarrhal infamma-
ton of the throat. His temperature,
however, is only slightly above the nor
NAL and his strength is good. He re-
mains in bed
Gladstone was in cheerful mood
during the day, and able to dictate re-
plies to many letters he had received
inquiring about his condition and eX-
pressing sympathy.

THAT TARIFF BILL.
VIII Be Reported to che Full Com
mittee Today.

Washington, March Just before
leaving the capitol this evening, Sen
ator Voorhees,, as chairman of the SEN
ate committee on finance, ordered the
issuance of a call for a meeting of the
full committee tomorrow at II o'clock.
He said the meeting was for the pur-
pose of considering the tariff bill,
which would then be submitted. He,
at the same time, reiterated the state
ment made on the floor of the Senate,
that the committee would be given a
few days to consider the bill as
whole and that after it should be re-
ported to the Senate at least a week
of additional time would be permitted
for the preparation of speeches before
there would be an effort to have the
bill taken up in the Senate.
The Democratic majority of the fl
nance committee held meetings at ir-
regular intervals during the day and
in informal sessions are generally en-
gagged in conference among themselves
and with other senators. It was gen
orally understood that up to the last
the contention over sugar prevented
the Democratic members of the finance
committee finally excluded everybody
in order to make a final decision the
sugar men, both producers and refin-
ers. were as dissatisfied and as wide
apart as ever. The concession which
the committee will allow to the sugar
men will provide for a sufficient rev.
enue to permit the tax on whisky to
remain at which it was passed by the
House-$1 per gallon.
Senator Voorhees, said tonight the re-
mainder of the week will be allowed
for the consideration of the tariff bill
in full committee, but the Republican
members of the committee say they
will ask for not less than two weeks
and possibly three.
The sugar schedule was the last
thing to receive the attention of the
committee, and the work was brought
to a close by placing the figure at 1
cent a pound, or about that figure, on
sugar showing so degrees of fineness
according to the polariscopic test, and
increasing the amount gradually with
the increase of the purity of the article.
1t is known the increase does not reach
Ia cent, but it cannot be stated def
nitely what it is It is learned that the
whisky tax will probably be increased
to S1.10 per gallon and the bonded per-
iod extended to 5 years.

PROTECTED BY BLUE JACKETS.
Portuguese Fire on Britishers Con-
structinS n Telegraph Line.

Port Natal, South Africa, March T.
The Portuguese. having obstructed TIE
progress Of the British parties con
structing a telegraph line between the
British sphere and Tete on the Fam
best, the commander of the British gun
boat landed a party of blue Jackets TO
protect the workingmen. The POrtu-
guese fired on them and the fire WIS
returned. The latest news from the
scene is to the effect that Governor
Quiltimene, the Portuguese official in
charge of the district, has been sum-
moned and is on his way with two gun
toats and force of troops.
The British commander has also
asked for endorsements which are said
to have been hurried forward at once.
The government has received no
news of the reported encounter be-
tween the Portuguese and the British
forces in South Africa. 1t is known
to the government, however, that there
has been trouble concerning the con-
struction of Commissioner Rhodes tel
egraph line across a strip of Portu-
guese territory at Tete. The Anglo
Portuguese treaty provides that either
government shall have the right to lay
telegraph lines across the territory of
the other, but Portugal claims this
right applies only to the governments
and not to companies, and that
Rhodes is building the line in behalf
of the British South frican company.
