ALASKAN TALK IN SENATE.
Bill Is Expected to Pass, but May Be
Amended.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Beyond the
fact that the Corbett case will be de-
cided on Monday, and after it's decision
the bill regulating the right Of way for
railroads in Alaska and for other pur-
poses will probably be taken up, the
programme in the senate for this week
is quite indefinite
scope than it's title indicates and it will
not be voted upon without considerable
discussion.
There is no general disposition to de-
feat the bill. but some senators are of
the opinion that it should be amended
in some particulars and they will seek
to secure those changes before the vote
is taken. 1t is believed the bill will
pass after day or two of talk upon it.
1t is probable that after the Alaskan
bill is disposed of some of the bills of
less general Importance on the calendar
will be considered. One of these is the
bill for the payment of the claim of the
book agents of the Southern Methodist
church for property destroyed at Nash
Vile during the civil war. This bill
appropriates $288, and has aroused
some opposition.
1t is also understood to be Senator
Davis intention to again move the con-
sideration of the Hawaiian treaty, if
opportunity offers, but there is no dis
position at present to unduly press the
treaty in antagonism to othsr measures
1t is possible the bill making appro-
priations for the District of Columbia
will be reported by the committee on
appropriations during the week. There
are only five of the apprOpriat on bills to
be considered by the senate, which is
record far in advance of that usually
made at this date in long sessions of
congress. This fact is causing senators
to begin to talk about final adjourn
ment at far earlier date than usual.
Three of the bills which are as yet
unconsidered are the District of Co
lumbia, the naval and sundry civil bills.
These are all important measures and
each is liable to arouse debate, but SEN
ators generally agree that unless there
is some other reason for pOstponing ad-
journment it can be reached by May or
June. The friends Of the Hawaiian
treaty say, however, that some of the
appropriation bills will be held back
until the question Of annexation is de.
cided. and this determination is one of
the circumstances which may cause the
postponement of adjournment.

SHOCK CANADIAN MoDEsrY.
Montreal Police Stop a Show and
Arrest All the Actors

CHICAGO, Feb. pa special to the Chron-
icle from Montreal says: Maj Bittinger the
consul general of the United States, has his
hands full just now, looking after the twenty
members of Jermon's BLACK Crook" bur
lesque company, which is billed at Troy, n
Y, for next week, and all the members of
which were arrested today during their per-
provincial statute, charged with indecency.
The charge is made particularly on ac-
count of trapeze artist named Valesco, who
undresses during her act. Chief Detective
Carpenter and twenty-five detectives and po-
licemen made the arrest, rang down the cur
tain and dispersed the audience. Though
the act complained of had been widely ad-
vertlsed, 1t was not really indecent. If the
charge can be proved, however, it means two
months in Jail without the option of a fine.

LONDON STOCK MARKET.
Nearly II Panic Caused by the
American Situation,


LONDON, Feb. 27.-In the absence Of gov
eminent disbursements last weeks money
market lacked supplies and rates were well
maintained. The American demand for gold
is not expected here to be important. The
conclusion of the Chinese loan, however. is
bound to cause a certain strngency in the
market although but a small proportion IS
likely to leave the county, since both China
and Japan owe large sums here
The stock exchange had an uncomfortable
week, owing to the collapse in American rail
ways soaring the weak bulls. Many default
ers were expected, but this has been averted
apparently, although assistance had to be
offered in some cases.
Wall street advices were mainly response
BILE for the condition OF the market here
which on Thursday closely resembled
panic. The forced realzations by the weak
bulls, however, cleared the air, and the feel
ing since has been distinctly improved Buy
ers are now waiting to take advantage of the
recent slump and any good news of the Span
tsh imbrogliO would undoubtedly have
prompt effect in London.
The only railroad shares that showed an
increase were Erie and Lake Shore & Mich

Active Export Business Reported
From Manchester

MANCHESTER, Feb 27.-The market last
Monday was dull, but ever since has been
active and advancing in all directions. Many
of the manufacturers are unable to take new
business at less than five months ahead, and
there are numerous instances where goods
are selling at the same price as last year, with
middling cotton at 4d and yarns very firm
There is a good trade for home use and
export The chief customers of the week
have been India, China, Japan and South

The home trade is rallying a little. and
yarns are generally I'D dearer. There was
much business left undone on Friday Ger
many reports fair business done at a slight
advance. The French market was quiet,
yarns being slow and the prices unchanged.

Blind Mems Dreams.

One of the most intelligent inmates of a
blind asylum, who came into the world
blind, says that he never dreams OF the
things he has read about and never
dreams of any thing or person that he has
not in some way come in personal contact
with.
He dreams of music, of the voices of
persons he knows, of such incidents as
might happen at the home or in some
place in which he has actually been, but
never of incidents in other places or I'm
other lands. Even although he has read
descriptions of localities, of natural beau
ties, of the appearance of a street or city,
no idea of what they look like comes to
him in the fancies of his sleep.
There is class of blind people who be-
come blind when quite young. Such blind
people never dream of any scene or object
except those which have remained in the
memory from what they actually saw be-
fore they became blind. = Pearson s

FLEET MESSENGERS.
Advantages OF Pigeons For the Rapid

Advantages OF Pigeons For the Rapid
Concentration of Naval Forces.
In the twenty third volume of proceed
lngs of the United States naval institute
recently issued Lieutenant r. W Eberle
contributes a paper on "Homing Pigeons
as Messengers of the Fleet, In which he
refers to the advantages and practical
workings of messenger pigeon service
and points out conditions under which IL
may be used with much advantage to the
feet In his paper Lieutenant Eberle says
1.-The rapid concentration of naval forces
at the point of attack or the movement of
forces to intercept the enemy is only made
possible when we have system by which
we can communicate rapidly with the
shore station from long distances at sea.
and the messenger pigeon service is the
only system by which we can obtain such
communication. This service might be
called very appropriately sea telegraph
system, and. although its messages cannot
be dispatched with the speed and absolute
certainty of the telegraph, yet the system
has the advantage of forwarding its mes
sages from any position within definite
limits, and therefore 1t Is not necessary to
seek the telegraph station in order to send
b message.
"In the event of hostilities many more
messages than those given In the above H.
lustrations would be sent In order to In
sure the receipt of important Information,
and II ouly one of the many little messen-
gers should arrive In time to enable our

struction of life and property upon some

prove itself most valuable to tho govern
ment and we'll worth the small annual
sum required to maintain its efficiency.
1T requires but one practical illustra-
tion to strike home and to open our eyes
to the merits of this service. Let single
human life be saved from shipwreck In a
time Of peace or let one maneuyer of the
enemy's fleet be frustrated In the midst of
war by the timely arrival of one of these
swift winged, trusty little carriers with its
urgent message, and all the country will
applaud the result and will realize the
value of messenger pigeon service upon
