storm arose in the Chamber of Deputies to-
day wednesday, during the discussion of
the financial proposals of the government.

riInted Signor Luzzatti. the present minis

'.Signor Sonnino retorted: Your conduct

1.-The premier, visibly agitated, shouted:
Then my disgrace is my glory,
"A general uproar ensued, in the midst
of which a deputy shouted at the top Of
his vpice to signor Sonnino: This is your
gratitude after escaping impeachment.
The whole scene was bitter and violent.

State Department Places No Reliance
in the ROver-AIger Reports.


WASHINGTON, May 12.-The State De-
partment has received no information
whatever regarding the reported killing of
Mr.. Alger. the United States consul at Pu-
erto Cortez, Honduras, during a fight be-
tween the government forces and the revo-
lutionists, nor Of the alleged insult to the
American flag by the N~icaraguan steam
tug Lucy B.. In the absence of official in
formation the department is disposed to
discredit the reports. In the first place,
there is no United States consul at the place
named. but only a consular agent named
William Alger. He was heard from by the
State Department directly last week in a
cablegram announcing the closing of the
port owing to the rebellio 4. Yesterday
Consul Little, at Tegucigalpa, the capital
of the country, reported to the department
that the rebellion was ended, and as his
adyices undoubtedly were much later in
date than those of the steamers people. the
officials feel sure that the consular agent
has not been killed. else his death would
certainly have been reported to Mr.. Little.

Puerto Cortez Recaptured.

PANAMA, May 12.-The New York Her
AIDS correspondent in Tegucigalpa, Hon
duras, telegraphs that after a fierce battle
yesterday the government troops succeeded
in recapturing the town of Puerto Cortez,
a seaport, from the rebels. In the engage
ment which took place in the city a large
number of insurgents were killed and a few
of the government troops lost their lives.
The rebels had many wounded and forty
of them were taken prisoners. When the
leaders of the rebellion, who were in Puerto
Cortez, realized that they would be unable
to hold the city, they deserted their troops
and escaped to Guatemala.

work of the Postal Congress.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The ways and
means m of the Universal Postal
Congress to-day practically completed pre-
liminary consideration OF the amendments
that have been proposed to the interna-
tional treaty. In doing this they have fol-
lowed the practice common in many legis-
lative bodies of passing over informally the
various amendments which it was known
would give rise to any extended discussion
and have acted on such as the delegates
were generally agreed on. The amendments
which have received the assent of the COM
mittee were none of them of vital impor-
lance, but treated mainly of details of an
unimportant character which it was APP
parent were essential and proper and which
experience has demonstrated were a neces-
sity in the transmission of mail matter.
The more important questions remaining
undisposed of relate to the universal post
age stamp, the proposed establishment of
the gold standa as a settlement of all
balances in postal rates, and the PROPOSE
ton for the reduction in the way of mails
in transit. These matters will begin to re-

Military Academy.
Tho military academy was founded not
% much for the purpose of furnishing off,
GERS to Ill tho vacancies In the regular
army as to create kind Of reserve of off,
GERS which the government would be able
to draw upon In case of war. Congress
has not carried out this intention Of tho
founders for variety of reasons. Room
omy was one, but as the military academy
costs little moro per annum than full
regiment of cavalry this reason IL not sufii-
cient. Another reason Is the jealousy OF
West Pointers as "a favored class, who In
time of war are selected for high command
over the heads of men lacking military ed
uoation or experience But these reasons
arc supplemented by another and a stron-
ger ono, and that Is that West Pointers, as
q class, have not favored such an Increase

would make II diifioHlt to provide all grad

this respect they may be said to have lost

their associates.
The cadet at West Point has q great
prize In view-a commission. IL Is
stimulus to a tremendous effort. The In
structors at West Point have been fearful
that this stimulus once removed the stand
ard of education there would be lowered.
The officers of the army have not combated
this view. While they prize above all
things the training received at West Point,
while as professional soldiers they see more
clearly than any other class the danger the
country runs in having so few educated
officers, they so strongly sympathize with
the desire of the undergraduate to obtain
Q commission that they have not seen their
way to recommending policy that would
possibly exclude some graduates from the

now LONG SHOULD WE SLEEP.

The popular belief that men OF ex-
traordinary mental activity are. as n
rule, light sleepers is not justified by
facts, for the idler and the pleasure
seekers often seem to sleep longer and
more easily than the laborious brain
workers. The only safe guide in de-
termining the question OF the proper
amoun Of sleep Is undoubtedly ex-
%perience. II good health and full In
telleetual efficiency can be preserved
by six hours sleep, there seems no
motive for making effort, probably
destined to failure, to sleep eight
hours.
Care, however, nould be exercised
that short sleep has not been the re-
suit merely OF a long continued bad
habit, and that every opportunity is
afforded to the organism to procure
that amount Of sleep that seems adapt
ed to 1t. Hence moderately early
hours and quiet freedom from sources
of disturbance are necessary, and for
n prolonged period, before we can
'NNh SuiV that "a uIIouI vi sfttD
that seems natural to us is so In real.
ity.
Eight hours has been fixed by gem
eral consent as the happy mean, and
we have no objection to offer to 1t, al
though 1t is perhaps rather a liberal
allowance for adults In robust health.
The young and the ailing might with
advantage take more, and indeed can
hardly have too much of so excellent
a tonic and restorative as sleep. Ra-
t.onal treatment of sleeplessness, apart
from such causes OF insomnia as sor-
row or narrowing anxiety, can DO
much. The condition OF bed and bea-
room should be inquired into and
modified as conmon-sense rules may
dictate.
The occupations of the sufferer both
during the day and more especially
during the hour Immediately preccd-
Ing bedtime should be carefully in
quired into. There is a consensus of
opinion that the bad sleeper should
break of his daily routine some time
before the hour OF retiring to rest.
that he should try the distracting In
fuence of conversation, a stroll, a nov
Ell, or a cigar, and that every effort
should be made to prevent the over
taxed brain from pursuing during the
night the w~ell-beaten track Of the day.
A tepid bath at bedtime often acts well.
whereas a very hot or cold bath Is to
many persons positively injurious.
