The republicans of the House are as
solidly behind the administration on the
Hawaiian question as upon the Cuban
question. This was shown when
Chairman Hit, Of the committee on
Foreign Affairs, moved to table reso-
luton calling upon the President for
his authority for negotiating treaty
for the annexation of Hawaii in which
it is agreed to pay the Hawaiian public
debt of 100000 out of the U. s.
Treasury. The democrats tried their
best to prevent the resolution being
laid on the table, but Mr.. Hits motion
was supported by the republicans and
was carried. There are no new de
velopments in connection with the con-
sideration of the annexation treaty by
the Senate.

Representative Dalzell, of Pennsyl-

are trying to get bill appropriating
1888 900 to cover alleged damages in
consequence of the war to the Book
Publishing Company Of the Southern
Methodist Church substituted for the
Senate bill giving that Company the
right to refer its claims 10 the Court of
Claims, heavy blow when he recalled
to their memories that an unanswer-
able report had been made against
these claims twenty-five years ago,
when they were before the House, by a
subcommittee composed Of Secretary
Wilson of the Department Of Agricul-
ture, republican, ,and Hon. W. R. Nor
rison, democrat, both then members of
tie House. Mr.. Dalzell said the claim
was at that time thrown out as un-
worthy of the attention Of patriotic
representatives, sent to Washington,
not to loot, but to guard the Treasury.

now, just. as it was twenty years ago,
when it was adopted by both branches
of Congress, merely concurrent reso-
luton, not requiring the Presidents
signature and not being binding upon
anybody, even when adopted by both
Senate and House. In fact, such reso-
lutions are nothing more tnan an ex-
preston of the opinions Of those who
vote for them. It will be remembered
that Mr.. Cleveland ignored one or two
resolutions of this nature, declaring
the opinion of Congress as to what he

ASYLUMS FOR INSANE,

The Sacred Temples of Egypt We're
the First known to History.
The first retreats for the insane men
toned in history were the sacred tenn
pies of Egypt, where the highest devel-
opment of moral treatment was prac-
ticed for the restoration of reason. One
of the earliest notices Of the establish
ment of an asylum for the insane is in
the life of St. Theodosius, who was born
in the year 1923, and died in $50. He es-
tablished near Bethlehem, a monastery,
to which were annexed three infirm-
aries-one for the sick, one for the
aged and feeble and the other for such
as had lost their senses-in which all
succors, spiritual and temporal, were
afforded with admirable order, care and
affection. In medieval Christian
times conventual establishments were
used for similar purposes, but with
these exceptions there were no organ
lied asylums for the insane until the
founding of Bethlehem hospital. This,
the Oldest lunatic asylum in, the world,
with the doubtful exception of one at
Granada, was originally founded in 1912
as priory in Bishopsgate, its mother
church being St. Mary's of Bethlehem
( (or Bedleem in Wyclif's spelling). TIL
spoken of as a hospital for lunatics in
1872, and as such it was granted at the
dissolution to the mayor and citizens Of
london, being Incorporated as royal
foundation in 1547. 5.#..a..s

IN THE WORkHOUSE.
Founder of the International Red
Cross Society.

Founder of the International Red
Cross Society.
In the workhouse of Heiden, in the
canton of Appenzell, Henry Dunnant,
the founder of the International Red
Cross society, is passing the closing
hours of his useful life, says the New
York Tribune. His mind is impaired,
and symptoms of insanity have ap-
peared, SO that it is doubtful whether
he will ever know that it was to him
that the international medical con-
gress, held at Moscow few weeks ago,
unanimously awarded it's prize as to
"the man who has done the greatest
service to humanity and medicine in
the present age" Some years ago an
announcement of Dunnants destitute
condition aroused universal astonish-
ment and painful surprises, which were
only set at rest when a statement was
published to the effect that the dowager
empress of Russia had settled upon him
an annuity sufficiently large to enable
him to end his days in comfort and
peace. Unfortunately, these good in
tentions of the czarina do not appear
to have materialized, or else the money
which she intended for the founder
Of the Red Cross has been diverted and
misappropriated by those intrusted
with it's transmission. This often hap
pens in Russia, and it is the exception
rather than the rule when a gift from
any member of the imperial house
reaches its destination.

DWARFS IN FRANCE.

Inhabitants Of the Department OF
s Limousin Are Small In Stature
III Lin ousin there is a barren range
OF low hills which lies along the di-
v:ding line between the departments Of
Dordogne, Correze and Haute-Vienne,
about halfway between Periguex ar and
Limoges. The water courses show the
location of these uplands. They eX-
tend over an area about rs miles long
and half as wide, wherein average hui
man misery is most profound. Dense
ignorance prevails, says Appleton's Sci
ence Monthly. There is more illiteracy
than in any other part Of France.
The contrast in stature, even with
the low average of all the surrounding
region, is clearly marked by the dark
tint. There are sporadic bits Of equal
diminutiveness elsewhere to the south
and west, but none is so extended or so
extreme. Two-thirds of the men are
below five feet three inches in height
in some of the communes, and the wom-
en- are three or more inches shorter
than this. One man in ten is below
is not due to race, for several ra-
cial types are equally stunted
in this way within the same
area. 1t is primarily due to
generations of subsection to a harsh
climate, to a soil which is worthless
for agriculture, to a steady diet of
boiled chestnuts and stagnant water,
and to unsanitary dwellings in the
deep, narrow and damp valleys. Still
further proof may be found to show
that these people are not stunted by
any hereditary influence, for it has
been shown that children born here,
but who migrate and grow up else
where, are normal in height, while those
born elsewhere, but who are subject to
this environment during the growing
period of youth, are proportionately
dwarfed.

DAN s OF THE STARVING \
An Odd Event Among the. Poor OF
HunEary,

Hungary %ht$ ~ 4
A striking article on the agricul tural
condition in Hungary has just been
published in the Neues Wiener j ournal,
under the title of THE Dance of the
Starving" From this it@appears that
the peasants of the Alfoeld plain have
recently organized a mum Der Of popular
balls, which have been attended by
thousands. This does not imply that
the people are particularly happy or
prosperous. On the contrary, owing
to the strike of last summer and the
bad harvest, their condition is one of
great need. The dances are the result
of the bill passed in the Hungarian
rejchstag for regulating the relations
between land owners and their labor
ers. That bill is regarded as excep-
'tionally hostile to the latter. For the
1aborers, however, liberty of speech and
Of public meeting is so restricted as to
render Ill gatherings for political pur-
poses practically impossible. Hence
this stratagem OF popular balls. 1t is
pointed out that the accounts of these
peasant dancing parties are accom-
panied by the news of acts of pillage
and a strike against taxes, which have
rendered necessary the intervention of
the military. The present movement is
direct consequence of the harvest
strike of last summer, and of the meas
ures adopted by the government to pre-
vent it's recurrence. The obnoxious
bill, according to the Neues Wiener
Journal, delivers up the laborer to the
arbitrary discretion of his employer,
emitting the latter to put an end to
the agreement he has entered into, and
to withhold the wages he has agreed to
pay if the laborer should, in his opin-
ion, be a socialist agitator. If the Ia
borer, however, should fail to appear
at the time and place appointed, the
employer is empowered to call upon
the authorities to force him to carry
out his contract. The laborer has no
legal remedy against this proceeding,
while the employer is assured of the
cooperation of the authorities in the
event Of strike. Such injustice as
this, as the writer remarks, might con-
vert strike very easily into rebel
lion.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Oct. 2S.-The stock market
took on to-day many characteristics OF
a bull campaign in full force. There
were large and exceedingly well distrib-
utcd trades, while the market was much
less dominated by the specialties, which,
however, continued very active, princi-
pally Sugar and Tobacco. The former
was less violent III its fluctuations than
on yesterday and although it advanced
several times, it met more stock than it
could carry. 1t ended the day I'M
changed. Tobacco on the other hand,
after a fractional decline, surged strong
ly upward, the extreme rise being nearly
five points The rise was coupled with
runors of the foatation of the new plug
tobacco company and the taking in of
many large competitors in that field
Another conspicuous movement was that
in the iron and steel stocks which was
led by the dealings in securities of the
Federal Steel Company when issued.
Speculation in the railroad stocks was
active and varied, the Changers leading
in point Of activity. Reports of one OF
two Southwestern roads showing the in
creased earnings more than eaten up by
enlarged operating expenses, were a
drag on that group and this caused
some slight heayiness among the trunk
