Kennedy's Subject in a
Trance at the Bush
Street Theater.
Thousands View the Slumberer
During the Day and
Last Night.
roctors Take Temperature and Pu s.
but Each Individ ual Observer Has
His Private Opinion.

| Fully 5000 interested persons visited the
Bush-street Theater yesterday and last
night to view George Cheshire, alleged to
be in hypnotic trance. He was placed
in the condition in which he reposes at
O'Clock on Saturday night, and all the
evidences seem to indicate that he has
| lain on the stage ever since undisturbed,
except when medical men have lnterposed
to take note OF bis condition.
All kinds of opinions regarding Che
| s ire's condition have been expressed.
! Many skeptics have boldly alleged that
the performance is "fake," pure and
simple, in spite of the fact that the slum-
| berer has never shuddered winked or
given signs OF waking when needles have
been thrust through his ears and into his
| cheek. During the day number of doc
| tors called, took his pulse and res piration,
and made comments on his condition.
| Almost all found the temperature abso-
lutely normal and the pulse slightly slow.
cheshire will remain as he is" said
| kennedy last night, unless l awaken
| him, until 10 O'Clock next Sunday night.
at which time any one can awaken him.
/ or he will arise of his own accord. / can
| not understand how this is done any more
| than you can, but it is fact that the i'm
| preston l convey to the hypnotic viii re-
main and no power outside OF myself can
phase him."
| The subject was given beef tea twice
yesterday and was turned on his side to
prevent any injurious effects from lying
/ too long IN one position. Aside from this
no changes were made in his position. He
! lies on his back most of the time in POI
sition which appears to the ordinary OBJ
server to be q deep slumber. Doctors pro-
nounce the condition one of profound
sleep. They Judge of this by the respira-
ton, pulse and temperature.
| cheshire will probably lose ten TO ff-
teen pounds of weight during the week."
said Kennedy last night, "beyond which
do not think any marked changes will
be noticed. When the entire matter is

THOUSANDS AT STAKE.
An Important Decision In the Case
of a Big Seizure of
Sealskins.

The United States Circuit Court of A o.
peals handed down an i'm portant decision
Yesterday, reversing a decision of the Dis
trict Court of Alaska. Many thousand
dollars worth of sealskins and the seizure
of a valuable steamship were involved in
the decision.
The steamship Coquitlam, with a cargo
of 6190 sealskins, was seized by the United
States revenue cutter Corwin near Port
Etches Alaska on June %, 1892. She
was taken to Sitka and turned over 10 the
Collector of Customs.
The District Attorney of Alaska filed an
information for the seizure of the vessel
and cargo. He charged that the vessel
was within the limits of the Alaska col
lection district when she was illegally
laden from various schooners with 6190
sealskins.
None of the schooners had come to the
proper place for discharging their cargoes
nor had they received any permission TO
do so, and their failure 10 observe the GUS
toms requirements, it is charged was
known to the master of the Coquitlam.
1t is charged further that the master of
the seized vessel transferred his cargo of
supplies TO the schooners, and that he did
not report TO any customs officers.
The answer OF the Union Steamship
Company OF Vancouver, the owner of the
sooSoi, "uinitS tHe transfer OF the seal-
skins, but denies that the schooners were
bound to the United States or that the
merchandise was from a foreign port or
bound TO the United States or that the
transfers were made within the district of
Alaska. 1t further denies that the tram
fers were made within the collection dis
trict of Alaska or that the merchandise
was subject to duty. In the District
Court of Alaska 1t was found that the
transfers were made seven miles from
shore.
The Court OF Appeals decided that there
was no proof that the statutes had been
violated and the decree of the lower court
10 the contrary was reversed and the libel
dismissed.
