IS STILL SLEEPING.
Charles Hanson Visited by Hundreds
of Curious People.


Charles Hanson, the young man who
was put to sleep yesterday morning with
the expectation that he would remain un-
der the hypnotic influence until next Sat
urday morning. was still sound asleep this
afternoon. Since yesterday morning he
has moved but little and only as one tosses
and turns in a sound slumber. Late last
night he arose once, but his actions were
entirely those Of a somnambulist, and it
was evident that he had no mental con-
sciousness Of what he was doing
Since then he has lain stretched out on
at the corner Of 9Th and G streets, and has
shown no signs of Weakening. All day long
the sidewalk in front of the store has been
thronged with people, who crane their
necks to get better view of the curious
spectacle. Hundreds have also filed through
the store IN order to get nearer look. A
number OF physicians have also taken ad :
vantage OF the opportunity to study a
patient while in a hypnotic condition.
Not all the comments which have been
MADE on the experiment have been Of
hattering sort. In fact many people have
expressed the opinion that the expert
ment ought never to have been allowed on
the ground that it serves no useful purpose
and simply draws a crowd of the morbidly
curious
A reader of The Star has written to the
editor on the subject as follows:
Where are the police? Where are the
ministers Of the gospel? Where the mothers
of Washington city?
THE above queries arose In my mind
this morning as I gazed upon the face of
lad In show window corner 9Th and &
streets apparently sleeping. 1 should say,
for I know nothing of the artful science
fair or foul, by which this seeming slum-
Der has been produced. 1 know naught of
the process, I say; but 1 do know that
inasmuch as the so-called sleep is condi-
ton foreign to that produced by 'balmy
nature, 1t can be no sweet restorer of the
powers which must languish under the
touch OF agencies purely human, and l
further know that, no -human being has
right to subject another human being so
wholly to his will as to leave the party
influenced thoroughly Incapable of exer-
cising his God-given faculties.
Il appeal. therefore, to the thoughtful
minds and kind hearts of Washington city
to deliver this young man from his present
state Of enthrallment.'

Some Campaign Figures

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The following are two samples of the
wild claims Of the populist-democratic ma
jorities:
For Colorado the claim is 125,09o majori-
ty. while the total vote of 1892 was but 49,
$40.
For Idaho the claim is $1,000 majority In
1894 the total vote was 24,3S6; republican
vote, 10,2oS; combined democratic and pop
ulist vote, 14,1iS; majority over republican
vote 1870; this taken from the $4,000 claim
leaves 14.g30, to gain which would require
the whole 1U,2pS republican votes of 1894
and 3,S22 additional votes. Where will they
get them?
For Utah the claim is 10000 Governors
vote in 1895 was: Populist, 205l; democrat.
1888, a total of 2O.570; republican vote.
2o.SS3. republican majority over all of 3I3.
To get 10000 majority they would have to
wipe out the whole republican majority,

The Armes- Divorce Case.

Upon the petition of Peyton Gordon, the
divorce case of Lucy H. Armes against
Major Geo. A. Arrnes has been reinstated
by order Of Judge Hagner, to allow the
ascertainment of Mr.. Gordon's fees as Sc
questrator Of Major Armes' estate.
The suit was recently dismissed by Mrs.
Armes. 1t will be remembered, reconcil-
iat1on having. it is said, taken place be-
tween her and her husband. While the
case was pending last summer, Judge Hag-
ner appointed Mr.. Gordon as sequestrator
of the estate, in order to collect alimony
and counsel fees, which Major Armes had
declined to pay. The reopening of the case
now is merely done that Mr.. Gordon may
collect his fees and be relieved of further
duties in the matter

A Row If 1t Comes Out,
That Lack of Postage.

Postmaster Willett, it is understood. ridi-
cules the idea that the letter would have
remained in the post office without having
been sent to populist headquarters with a
notice that 1t lacked postage. Secretary
Edgerton says 1t can be proven that the
letter was never presented at headuuartefs
Senator Buffers private secretary, Mr..
Hoover, says the letter was not taken to
him by letter carrier. 1t has been htnted
that Mr.. Hoover knew more Of the letter
than anybody else, but he processes entire
ignorance of the matter. There are no
others. except Senator Buffers nephew.
who could have had any cognizance Of the
letter, outside of the persons named.
May Not Come Out.
AS stated in yesterdays Star. populist
leaders here do not believe Watson will
modify his letter or make it public now
They think he will hold it. Other indica-
tions point to Watson adopting this course
Cause of the Delay.
The delay in the delivery Of Tom Wat
sons letter of acceptance was the result
of an oversight. 1t is the custom of the
city post office officials to turn over to
the Senate post Office all letters addressed
to Senators, as the latter Office is kept In.
formed of such addresses. These letters
are sent to the basement of the post office
through a shute, where they are received
by a messenger from the Senate, except.
ing such letters as are short Of the re.
quired postage. This latter class of let.
tiers are retained until called for by the
messenger, who pays the postage, which
later he collects upon the delivery of the
missive. During the absence of the regular
Senate messenger a substitute was put ir
his place, and it is believed that the new
man failed to call for letters not properly
stamped for several days. and in that way
the famous epistle Of the populist candidate
for the vice presidency was allowed te
slumber in innocuous desuetude until the
regular messenger returned to duty.

The Dunnigan trial at ColfaX has
been conducted in a manner that is
a great credit to Judge Sullivan.
The cost to the county has been
kept at a very low figure, and the
verdict and sentence seem to be in
keeping with the law and evidence,
and gives satisfaction to all except
the prisoner. Lynch law will be-
come obsolete when all trials are
conducted as we'll.

WE step aside a moment from
our local writing to note with much
pleasure the re election of our old
time friend, Cash n. Gaddis, as
cashier of the Pullman (Wash.)
First National Bank, at the annual
election of the banks officers held
last week, Mr., GaGdis is gentle
man who has the well-earned repu-
tation of being the best fnancier in
Eastern Washington business cir
cles, and he has gained that dis
tinction through natural ability
wisely and honestly applied. The
Commercial Bank of Oakesdale
owed its success to his polite yet
generous management, and the fact
that he has again been placed in
practical control of the best bank
IN the Palouse country is evidence
sufficient of his popularity both be-
hind the counter and in front of it.

his lot in Adams county will have

By Monday Next It Is Believed, the
Settlement of the True Divisional
Line Between Venezuela and

Reached.

Washington, Dec. 24-Mr Andrade,
the Venezuelan minister to the United
States, who went to Caracas two
months ago, TO lay the protocol of the
new boundary treaty with Great Brit
ain before the Venezuelan cabinet, is
expected to reach Washington on Sat
urday of this week. The state depart
ment, Notwithstanding reports to the
contrary, has every reason to believe
that he has been empowered by Presi-
dent Crespo to sign the treaty on be-
has been fully advised of the pro-
tests which a few ambitious politicians
in the republic made against the treaty,
but its information is that these in
fluences were sternly repressed by Ores
pc, who, while not satisfied with every
detail, believed the treaty to be on the
whole all that Venezuela can consist
emily ask.
If Mr.. Andrade as is expected shall
reach Washington by Monday next
himself the British ambassador will
meet him-presumably at the British
embassy-and almost Immediately and
formally sign the protocol, thus clear
ing the way for the settlement "of the
true divisional line between Venezuela
and British Guinea which formed
the subject of President Clevelands
special message to congress a year ago,
and which, it was feared for time,
would involve us in war with Her
Majesty's government.
