Adoption of the Protocol by the Spanish
Cortes Welcome News.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l5.-In official
quarters much satisfaction was ex.
pressed over the rel orts from Madrid
that the lower house of parliament had
passed the government till accepting
the terms of the protocol. The upper
house has already passed this measure,
so that the last fear Of legislative op-
position to the transfer of Cuba, the
Ladrones and Porto Rico is over. The
authorities here feel that this carries
them by danger point, as 1t has been
feared for some time that the animosi.
ties in the Spanish cort es would lead to
the defeat of the Sagasta ministry on
the question of evacuating the Spanish
islands, either in one branch or the
other.

An extended study Of the phenom.

An extended study Of the phenom-
ena Of insomnia by De Menaceine, a
Russian authority in medicine, brings
him to the conclusion that it is
characteristic of persons who blush,
laugh, weep readily and whose pulse
is apt to quicken upon the slightest
provocation, remarks the New York
Tribune. Loss of sleep, however, he
admits. most frequently results from
overwork of either mind or body; over
strain of either kind dilates the blood
vessels of the brain and eventually
paralyzes them, extreme cold produc-
ing the same results. Experiments
also show that exercise of the emo.
tions causes a rush of blood to the
brain and sleeplessness, if occurring
near bedtime. There is a common theory
that sleep is required in proportion to
the scarcity of red corpuscles in the
blood, and thus all persons do not COR
respond in their need of sleep, and
many authorities agree that the need
of sleep depends upon the strength Of
consciousness. ..- .........

MEAN TRICK OF A DENTIST.
An Episode That Put Murder In the Heart o
an Estimable Gentleman.

II wonder if it's against the law to
kill DENTISTS said a very estimable
gentleman of New Orleans, because
if it is not l would like to indulge in n
first class homicidal orgie. A con-
founded molar mangler has just cut
it in peculiarly mean and ungentle-
manly manner. l knew we We're ri
walls, but he is good operator. and
went to him to get back tooth filled.
not thinking he would stoop to any
thing unprofessional. Well, he had
trouble reaching the spot, so he pried
open my jaws as far as they would
go and drove in couple of patent
plugs to keep them apart. l must
have looked exactly like an alligator,
and while l was sitting there helpless,
my features entirely obscured by my
mouth, who should walk in but the
young lady herself. l heard sort OF
litter, and in my excitement l sat bolt
upright and trained that yawning
cavity on her like thirteen-inch gun.
OF course she did not know anything
about those internal plugs. and attrib-
uted my expression to astonishment,
so she naturally concluded l was the
biggest idiot she had ever seen. DO
close your mouth Mr.. Blank, she
said, or you'll catch cold / made d
wild gesture at the dentist, meaning
for him to tell, but the brute pretend
ed not to see me and remarked that
had a singularly open countendnce.
tried to explain, but all l. could say
was 'Owt wow! sawowwow! and
things like that, and they both went
off into shrieks of laughter. l thought
the girl would never stop. She got
really hysterical, but the dentist must
have seen murder in my eye, for he
showed her out and then tried to
make me believe it was all pure
accident. / merely motioned for him
to take out the plugs, but before he'd
do 1t he armed himself, with big
mallet and stood on the defensive.
What | said to him is neither here
nor there, but he knows my opinion
of the whole business, and If it hadn't
been for the mallet-what about the
young lady, did you ask? Oh, |

tiating for the Carolines. .r----,,->
Z ARIs.-The report from Berlin that
Germany is negotiating for the pur-
chasesof the Caroline Islands is con
firmed from several quarters, although
Count Won Munster Ledenburg, the
German ambassador at Paris, informed
correspondent of the Associate
Press shat he knew nothing at all about
the matter. The American commits.
sioners are inclined to believe the re-
port, and it is looked upon as explain
ing the reluctance Of the Spaniards to
give the Americans an answer in regard
to the Caroline Islands, as we'll as on
the question of religious liberty there,
and the latest developments confirm
the report that the Spaniards have
been instructed not to yield on these
points until they have made good
bargain.
The position of the commissions,
says an American commissioner, is
that OF two card players, each study
ing his own hand and waiting for his
opponents lead. In spite of this tenn
porary halt in the negotiations and
contrary to general impression, Judge
Day believes the treaty will be signed
next week. But a great deal of work
must be done before the treaty is ready
for the signatures, as after ten weeks
of negotiation the only articles accept
ed by both commissioner are the
three leading ones, providing for the
cession of the Spanish colonies, and
these only in principle, and not in Ian
guage. ...
