TIE FINANCIAL BLL.-A telegram
from Washington says: "There is no
advantage in mincing words regarding
the effect of the message which Presi-
dent Cleveland sent to Congress yes
terday. In spite of the earnestness IN
which Mr.. Cleveland portrays the
gravity of the financial situation. and
in spite of his plea that Congress take
the proper steps to maintain the credit
of the government, there is not the
slightest hope that the administration
bill, which he outlined, will become 3
law. Not even the most sangulne
democrat in the House believes more
can be accomplished than the possible
passage of the bill in the House. IL
will certainly die in the Senate. But
there is even grave doubt of its fate IN
the House. Mr.. Springer, in introduce
ing the bill drawn on the lines of the
Presidents suggestions, buoyantly
promised to have the bill reported back
from his committee in few days. I'm
less the republican members OF the
committee come to his aid, Mr.. Spring
er may not even succeed in getting the
bill out of committee. Several demo-
cratic members of the committee have
not hesitated to announce that they
will not support the bill"
A telegram from New York says ::
Bankers and financial men in this city,
apparently without exception, speak in
terms of approval of the Presidents
message.

On the Chicago Board of Trade this
morning a marked feeling of uneasiness
was evident. General dissatisfaction
was expressed at the manner in which
Congress received the Presidents mes
sage on the financial emergency. Every
thing speculative was weak and liqui-

at times was strongly marked, prices
for all commodities declining.

Uncanny Result of an Experiment In Hyn,
notism Made by a Paris Doctor.
A series of very wonderful expert.
ments which have just been concluded
by DR.. Luys of Paris, whose observa,
tions and discoveries in connection with
magnetism and electricity in relation
to hypnotism made profound impress.
sion upon the scientific world some time
ago. has led to a remarkable result. The
latest discovery establishes the fact that
cerebral activity can be transferred toa
crown of magnetized izau in which the
activity can be retained and subseuuent.,
ly passed on to second person. lncred.
ible as this may seem, DR.. Luys has
proved. its possibility by the expert.
ments just referred to.
He placed the crown, which in real.
ity is only circular band of magnet
lied iron, on the head of a female pa.
tient suffering from melancholia, with
a mania for self destruction, and with
such success was the experiment at,
tended that within a fortnight the pa.
tient could be allowed to go free with
out danger, the crown having absorbed
all her marked tendencies.
About two weeks afterward he put
the same crown, which meanwhile had
been carefully kept free from contact
with anything else, on the head of
male patient suffering from hysteria,
complicated by frequent recurrent pc.
riods of lethargy. The patient was then
hypnotized and Immediately conducted
himself after the manner of the woman
who had previously worn the crown!
Indeed he practically assumed her per.
sonality and uttered exactly the same
complaints as she had done. Similar
phenomena have, IL is reported, been
observed in the caseof every patient ex-c
perimented upon. Another experiment
showed that the crown retained the inn
preston acquired until it was made red
