VESTIBULE OF HOME RULE.
Irish Leader HeaIy Describes the
New English Local Government Act.

Timothy NJ. Healy, member of parliament
for North Louth, addressing a meeting at
Dublin last evening, said he regarded the
new local government act as the vestibule
of home rule. There were two ways, he
said, of winning the latter-either by turn
ing the fleets and armies against the Brit
ish government or by enlisting the SYM
pathies of British statesmen. He favored
the latter policy, and therefore considered
the refusal of the Dublin corporation to
join in national memorial to Mr.. Glad
stone as one of the gravest blunders ever
committed by any public body. In conclu-
sion he said:
"1f America should insist that ireland was
equally entitled to self-government with
Cuba and should refuse any friendship or
alliance with England until that was grant
ed incalculable blessings would result"

AFTER Ii HUNG CHANGES PIG TAIL.
Paris Patrie's Fairy story About Lord

BeresfOrd's Mission.
LONDON, August 26.-The London cor
respondent of the Paris Patrie informs his
paper that the special mission of Rear Ad-
miral Lord Charles Beresford to China in
the interests of British commerce includes
the conclusion of an offensive and de-
fensive alliance between Great Britain and
Japan, by the terms of which, in case of
complications with Russia, Japan under

Japanese fleet at the disposal of the Brit

According to the same most questionable
authority, Lord Beresford has been fur

SHOULD BE IMPEACHED
The One Responsible for the Bad Treat
ment Of the Troops
What Ex-Secretary Sherman Says of
Inadequate PrOvIsiOns for
Sick and Wounded.

Ex-Secretary Sherman was asked by a
Star reporter today if he had been correct
ly quoted in an interview attributed to him
this morning criticisng the management
of the war. Mr.. Sherman replied that the
quotation was substantially correct. 1t
was inaccurate in some minor particulars
as to forms of expression, but generally eX-
pressed his views. He then reiterated some
of the criticisms for which he had been
quoted and spoke with intense feeling of
what he described as monstrous misman-
agement. Il don't see," he said, how
there can be any mistake or misrepresen-
.tation as to the condition of affairs among
our soldiers in Santiago or in the camps.
The official reports, the statements of re-
sponsible officers and Of the men who suf-
fered in that campaign are all to the same
effect, that there was horrible suffering and
great loss of life resulting from inadequate
provision for the care of the sick and
wounded, and that suitable food was not
provided for those whose condition of
health would not admit Of their eating
army rations. They were short of medi-
cines and suitable food, and did not have
surgeons enough to perform the services
which the condition of the army demanded.
I'VE have fully authenticated and undis-
puted accounts Of the wounded lying in
the wet grass and awaiting their turn,
willie single surgeon endeavored as best
he could to attend to the wounds OF sew
eral hundred men. The less severely
wounded declined treatment. that those in
more serious condition might. be mere
quickly cared for. The whole story is too
horrible to talk about, and there can be
no possible excuse offered. ! cannot under
take to say what individual authority is
responsible, but the facts themselves are
moDstrous, and whether the fault lies with
officers in the field, those in the department
or the Secretary of War himself. the re-
sponsibility should be fixed. and the person
responsible should be severely punished.
1t was known that there was to be a bat
tie; our army was sent there for that pur-
pose, and 1t was nothing short of criminal
to neglect those necessary preparations for
the care of the wounded end sick, and to
provide fer the sustenance of the army. An
Investigation should be had at once, and
an example should be made of those re-
spe ensible. The President might order an
investigation, but doubt whether the
matter can be adequately dealt with ex-
cept by Congress. The persons responsible
should be impeached. and Congress alone
has the power of impeachment

NEED EXTRA COVER AT NIGHT.
The Blood Circulates Less mt Night
Than in the Daytime.

The main use of the coverings at night
is to give the body the warmth that is
lost by reduced circulation of the blooNl.
When the body lies down it is the inten-
ton of nature that it should rest. and
that the heart especially should be re-
lieved temporarily of its regular work.
So that organ makes ten strokes min
ute less than when the body is in an up
right posture. This means 600 strokes in
60 minutes.
Therefore, in the eight hours that a
man usually spends in taking his nights
rest the heart is saved nearly 5000
strokes. As it pumps six ounces of blood
with each stroke. it lifts 10000 ounces
less of blood in this nights session than
it would during the day when man is
usually in an upright position.
Now the body is dependent for its
warmth on the vigor of the circulation,
and as the blood flows so much more
slowly through the veins when one Is
lying down. the warmth lost in the re-
duced circulation must be supplied by
extra coverings.
