RECEIVE CARLISLE'S REPLY
The Senate Informed Concerning
the Gold Reserve.
Senator Hale WIN Introduce a Bill
Affecting Custody OF Children
in the District.

A communication was received from the
Secretary Of the Treasury in reply to
resolution OF the Senate offered by Mr..
Peffer OF Kansas, which asked whether the
gold reserve OF S1O0.0O0,COO had ever
been actually segregated or set apart from
other currency in the Treasury. The Sec
retary states that lat no time since the
establishment OF the so-caied gold reserve
has the SUN OF 100000, 900 or any other
SUN been segregated or set apart from the
general cash in the Treasury and that
there is no provision OF law requiring it
TO be done.
Mr.. fauikBer of West Virginia made
a report from the Committee on the District
OF Columbia on the resolution offered some
weeks ago by Mr.. Hale as to the law pre-
vailing IN the District, under which n man
may, by his last will and testament, con-
troll the custody OF his minor chIidrcn-to
the exclusion OF the widow. The report.
ne sad, was compilation of the laws
on that subject in force in the District OF
Columbia and In many OF the States ard
in England. The committee, however, had
reported no bill GU the subject.
Mr.. Hale was surprised. He was lit
tie indignant. He had expected the COM
mittee TO report and said he would pre-
pare a bill.
Mr.. GaIiiDger said he consented to the
report as made. He considered the law
barbarous one and would vote for the
bill the Senator from Maine would intro
duce.
Mr.. Mcmillan presented a protest from
the citizens aud taxpayers OF the District
OF Columbia against the establishment OF
an isoIa ted hospital in the block bounded
by Bismarck and Princeton streets, Seventh
street and Sherman avenue
Among the bills introduced and referred
was one by Mr.. Cha aud!er of New Hampshire
for the rcfundng of United States notes in

United to examine 1t and VIII senu TO MI

Barbaric British Laws

In the islands around Great Britain there
are many anomalies and anachronisms in
law and the administration OF justice. But
it would seem that in Guernsey the people
should be thankful that things are no worse
than they are. According to the Guernsey
Times, the authorities might still, ii they
pleased extort confessions from prisoners
by torture. 1t is only by this gracious for
bearance, also, that blasphemy is no longer
punished by Sitting the offenders lips With
a hot iron, standing him in the pillory or
cutting out his tongue; that murderers are
not broken on the wheel; that thieves are
not deprived of one OF their ears or branded.
and that forgers do not have their right
hands cut off.
Thefact that this barbarousc code remained
part OF the law of Guernsey was brought out
by the Royal Commission OF 1S45, but sub
sequent legislation has left it untouched
another proof of the necessity for q radi
cal reform Of the antiquated and oligarchi-
cal system Of government which prevails
in the island.-London Truth.
