CHICAGO. Dec 25.-The attorneys FOR
Adolph l.. Lucteert have received n report
from the superintendent OF the Insane
Asylum al Pueblo, Colo, on the mental
condition of Herman Bicknez the brother
of Louisa Lueigert, who disappeared
twenty years ago. and was recently dis
covered locked up in the Colorado State
Insane Asylum. The defence Will endeav-
or TO put this document In evidence, and
If the court refuses TO admit II the super
intendent of the asylum himself will be
brought here to testify.
According 20 the superntendents report
the mental alteration OF Mrs. Luetgerts )
brother was brought on by excessive
drinking rather than as an inherited trait.

city. The weather was perfect, clear,
cloudless and crisp. Early In the morn
ing a messenger arrived with a great
basket Of pink roses orchids and lilies
OF the valley, marked simply, For the
President"
4 little later tho Presidents carriage
pulled up at the door. and Mrs. Mckinley
came downstairs. leaning on the Presl-
dents arm. Mrs. Mckinley seemed as
well as at any time since her arrival AZ
the White House. while the President
was the picture OF health. The only
guests IN the house were MISS Duncan
and Miss Barber who remained at home
during the morning. The Christmas dn-
ner was purely family affair. Vice

IN re4lity some .
The most important scientific and ex-
perimental work carried on by the bis
educational Institutions is done during
the long vacation. or recent years II
has become more and more the custom
for parties OF college professors and
students to scour the land and skin
the seas In search of animal. vegetable
and mineral life to add to their iabora-
tories and TO the sum total OF human
knowledge.
During the past summer an unusual
number of these expeditions have been
in the field and they have been scat
tered from the Arctic circle to far be-
low the equator. While their mates
have been busy al tennis and golf,
these enthusiastic Young scientists. un-
der the direction of older specialists
have been dredging along the Pacific
coast. turning over the sands of the
southwestern desert or searching
among the rocks and crass of the
great mountain ranges They have
been shipwreeked risked the periis of
fever and malaria. and endured All the
danger and hardships that fall to the
10; o; explorers. Most OF these parties
have returned within the past few
weeks bringing specimens OF more or
less value to add to the museums Of
their various institutions.
Although Columbia has been busy
all summer moving into her new quar-
tiers. she has been represented in the
field by more parties than any other
single institution. The most iupor-
tant OF these was The geological expe-
dition. under the direction OF Prof +.
B. Wilson. This party consisted of
fifteen persons. and left New York In
June to study the marine life OF Puget
sound and the Alaska coast. AT Port
Townsend they found many interest
ing specimens. and after three weeks
work in this region they stored their
specimens and took passage for Sitka.
Alaska. For a month they explored
the waters of the coast and inlets. and
obtained many specimens of the little
known marine life OF this northern
coast. II was hard work for all the
members of the party dredging along
the shores in open boats and sorting
the fishy specimens. but the men
brought as much enthusiasm to the
work as the crowd of argonauts rush
ing past them to Klondike did to their
search for gold. At the conclusion OF
their iabors, the whole party with
their precious specimens took passage
for home on the Inflated steamer City
of Mexico.
AS the newspaper public knows. the
steamer was wrecked and the Colum-
bia students lost not only their col
lections. but their baggage and instru-
ments as well. and they were lucky to
GET of with their lives. They reached
Seattle stripped of most of the results
of their summers work Nothing
daunted by their ill-luck. the collegians
borrowed some Instruments from the
University of Washington and re-
newed their explorations in Puget
Sound. This time. as IL in reparation
for their previous misfortunes, they
we're rewarded by finding some rare
specimens which scientists. among
them Prof Wilson. have been seeltins
for years They included several spec
linens OF the parasite mollusks, knowr
as sea cucumbers. which are exceeding
" important in establishing the origir
of the snail family. certain jelly fisi
never before found and some new

M'KmIey VIII PeddIe Bonds.

During the last campaign the re-
publicans from Mckinley down Wig
orJusly asssiled President Cleveland
for issuing bonds. The Times then
pointed out their inconsistency in de-
nouncing Mr.. Cleveland for the per-
Torrance Of acts necessitated by the
financial system supported by the re-
publicsns. 1t also predicted that if
Mckinley should be elected he would
in all probability be forced to adopt
the same policy.
Mr.. Mckinley and his supporters
emphatically denied this. Now that
the election is over, however, we find
John Sherman, who speaks for the
President elect, frankly confessing
that "Mr. Mckinley will consent to
the issue of bonds for the purpose Of
nesting the ordinary expenses of the
government"
Mr.. Mckinley hopes to be able to
avoid this necessity by cutting down
appropriations. To that end Speaker
Reed, who had worked vigorously to
pile up expenses for the adminlstra-
tions OF Mr. Cleveland, is standing
like a stone wall IN the pathway Of APP
preparations for the Nicaragua canal,
Oklahoma free homes and government
buildings The inconsistency in his
attitude is worrying him no more than

If economy were successfully practlc-
ed, even to the verge Of parsimony
there would still be the need Of re-

When the raiders think it safe

will make 1t necessary for Mr.. Nc
kinley to get more gold in the sole
possible way-by sales Of bonds. The
only method Of preventing this neces-
sity Of bond issues would be to pile

that all the government notes could
be stored away. This, however, will
