 The girl lies with her head just be- low the level of the street, and no noise or disturbance made by passers- by have any effect in arousing her at tentfon. Her hands are listlesS on the counterpane, and her eyes are fixed on the corner of the room. The entrance of her father or mother, the presence of a stranger or even the efforts of the medical men can bring nothing more than a shifting of the eyes to the faces of those about her, and this without the slightest change of expression, eX- cept on very rare occasions, when there passes over her face a faint, wistful smile.
 One morning last summer her mother tried to arouse her and failed When the girl did finally open her eyes she was in the condition in which she is today. She has not spoken since that morning. Sometimes she sleeps, but most of the time lies with her eyes open, and food has to be forced between her teeth. She is a pretty girl, about 23 years old, with dark hair and large dark eyes. sSince leaving school she has assisted her parents, and the opin- ion is expressed by medical men that her peculiar condition is the result of OyerWCrk

He said positively that he will play Schaefer any place and gt any game the latter sees fit to propose. the only condition he imposes being that the match will be Of five or mc-e nights play. He refuses to consider it worth the work and time he will have to spend in preparing for i.

OUR MONETARY LAWS
Chairman Hanna Urges immediate
 Attention on Congress-.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 24.-Mr. H. H. Hanna, the chairman of the execu-
 tive committee of the Indianapolis monetary convention, in an interview today made s-me novel and wig rous arguments, showing why congress should at once change cur exis ing monetary laws in the direction Of great CT dsfiniteness and safety Mir Hanna was asked as to the probability Of an extra session of congress to secure monetary Legislation. He replied:
 While in Washington last week Twas assured by prominent republican lead CTS that the president would not object to an extra session of congress if it could be confined strictly to consid- eraticn of the money qussticn. The prssidsn mt is quoted by these gentleme n as fearing that members Of the two houses may insist Cn immedia legis- latiCn for the new dependencies if congress is called together in eXtra ses- sicn. This he wishes to avoid, that pans for their gove1 1nnent may be the result of full information and careful consideration. I do ne. think. h1wev3r, that the views of thssa gentlemen are well founded. It would te a comp ara- lively easy matter to limit the work of

the appropriation committee, who had
 the bill in charge. moved as an amend
 ment that S3,000,000 be set aside as an emergency fund, and when somebody
 on the democratic side asked what this
 was needed for, Mir Cannon replied nonchalantly that any number of emer- gencies might arise in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines, and that the ad- ministration ought to be in a position to meet them promptly, without feeling
 bound by the limitations of a law framed necessarily in ignorance of fu- ture conditions.
 The amendment was accepted promptly, and in the senate the emer- gency fund was made still more elastic by provision that It should be ex- pended lat the discretion of the presi- dent''
 It is now understood that this appro- prlatlon was made at the presidents suggestion with this very object in view, of arranging with the Philippine insurgents.
 It is possible, also, that a similar programme may be followed in Cuba to some extent, although it is rot known that the plan is matured so far as Cuba is concerned
 It is pointed out in administration circles that this method of dealing with the insurgents is quite different from that pursued by Spain prior to the ar rival of American forces at Manila Spain gave Aguinaldo various sums of money as the price of his fealty, but aguinaldo never seems to have regard ed the bribes thus paid as binding, for he lost no time in following Dewey to Manila and raising again the standard of revolt
 The presidents plan does not con- template making special arrangements with Aguinaldo. On the contrary, it proposes to treat with the insurgents individually and to pay them for ser vices already rendered, as an earnest 1f fair consideration in the future

OUR WEST gNDIEN TRADE
Spanish Merchants Enterprise in
 Seeking fO hcep a Share.

Boston, Dec. 24-Secretary Preston of the Boston chamber of commerce has received from Duncan Bailey Blanchard, the French consul at this port, and as such Spain's representa- tive, a request for the names of Bos- ton exporters of grain and seeds for transmission to Spanish firms in the West Indies who desire American con- nectiOns.
 Secretary Preston says: This indi- cates, to say the least, the movement likely to take place as soon as those possessions become pacified and com mercial affairs assume their normal conditions. The enterprise that is be- ing shown by the Spanish merchants in attempting to forestaH the action of the American merchants to capture the handling and a share of the profits in the trade is certainly cOmmendable, from their point of view, and should act as an incentive to our own mer- chants"
 E. A. O'Brien, manager for a large firm which exports produce to the West Indies, says of the outlook for further trade: T expect that Cuba and Porto Rico will be Veritable Klopdykes when they come under the full control of this country. I understand that the Boston Fruit company is going to put on sev- eral new lines from this city to our new possessions

RANK AND FILE OF INSURGENTS
To Be PIaCated by Payment for Their Services, But No Recognition Will Be Given Aguinaldo or Any Pretended
 Government of the Islands.

Washington, Dec. 24.-That the presi- i dent believes he has found the Solu-
 tion of the problem presented by the attitude of the Philippine insurgents is
 known to those in the administration circle His plan is to treat the insur- gents with as great liberality as if they had been serving in the American army from the time of Dewey's victory at Manila; to pay them for their services, and to hold out to them the hope of further employment in garrison duty during the period of American occupa- ton.
 The president believes fully, it is understood, that by thus treating the insurgents individually, without recog- nizing any allegiance of theirs to Ag- uinaldo, but assuming primarily their fealty to the United States, this coun- try will allay any restlessnesS that may have appeared.
 So far as can be judged from Admiral DeWey's and General Otis's dispatches the only apprehension in regard to the future course of the Filipinos arises from doubt as to how far agitators, talk ing their cue from leaders like Agui- naldo, can succeed in fostering discon- tent.
 Ut will be hard for diseontent to flourish in the rank and fle," said member of the cabinet this morning, when past services have been reward ed and when assurances are held out for the future by a responsible power"
 This, in effect, is the administration plan, and it is estimated that it will not be an expensive plan to put in opera tion. The cost of paying the insur- gents at the same rate of wages as the i American soldiers for. the past eight | even at the most liberal cal | of the insurgent strength, will I be something less than S2, ,000, 900. This i is provided amply in the urgent def1- ciency bill, which is now in conference. 1 Just as the bill was on the point of | passing the house, Chairman Cannon of

 ''It is argued" it was suggested d, that we are new upon a gold basis, that it is useless to enact additional legislation in that direction: in other words, that it is better to let well enough alone.
