SAID OTIS WAS n LIAR.
Il received in the noon mail day"
continued Mr.. Spooner, IAN insulting
letter from the chief of the so-called
hti-imperialists OF Boston. in which
he denounced General Otis as a liar"
Mr.. Allen interjected the assertion
that an army offer. friend of his. had
informed him that that statement of
the interview with Judge Torres was
not true; that General Otis had mis-
represented 1t.
An officer who charges falsehood
against his commanding officer" re-
torted Mr.. Spooncr. Ought to make it
in the open"
IF he told the truth n court-martial
would take care Of his case, and of that
of the commanding general. too. He
would not imperl his office in the army
'of any decent government in the
world"
Mr.. Allen-"The statement made by
General Otis Is not the truth"
I'VE have had here" said Mr.. Spoon
err. "a statement that the President of
the United States is y liar; that Admi-
raj Dewey is n liar. and now we are
told that General Otis is n prevarica-
tor"
. I'll simply say that General Otis is
mistaken" said Mr.. Allen.
Continuing his argument. Mr.. Spooner
said there had been an attempt to make
an issue of imperialism where none
actually existed. 1t was done merely
for political effect and to obscure the
political issues of 1896. The issue had
been employed by MIR. Bryan and was
being exploited by every branch Of the
opposition TO the Republican party.
NOT RAISED BY BRYAN.
Mr.. Teller of Colorado. interposed to
say that the issue had not been raised
by Mr. Bryan. but by men In the SEN
ate chamber who opposed the ratifca-
ton of the treaty of peace. 1t was un-
fair, he thought, for any man to take
the position that Mr.. Bryan was the
author of the doctrine OF anti-impcrlal-
ism
"Mr. Bryan is one of the principals
in the employment of the anti-imper-
ialistic doctrine" declared Mr.. Spooner.
And since the ratification of the treaty

Hypnotic Love

"Talk about your hypnotic love
stories" y, said a well informed Lock
port man, 81 have the facts in a
case that would make novel.
"a couple whom | knew well,
met accidentally. The follow was a
strong, magnetic guy, one of those
persons sOhOm other people can not
help liking. He naturally impressed
that girl with the idea that he was
the whole thing. She, on the other
hand was so constructed that she at
tracted people to her, too. Well,
the man thought that he loved her.
They became sweethearts. For a
long time they continued to go with
one another and then they both came
to the conclusion that they were not
really and truly in love. They
tried to break away. The fellow
acted as boofishly as he could SO
that the girl would quit him. She
trifled and all that sort Of thing and
regarded her magnetic friend as one
whom she would like to lore. She
left town and intended to stay away.
But she couldu't. BE then quarre

would never speak to her again.
But he was nearly sick over it and
had to make up. Then they eompa-
red notes. Both being mentally
bright they admitted that it was NOT
love that bound them together, SO
they concluded that they had mu-
tually and unintentiOnally hypnoti-
zed themselves.
"This was their opinion when they
went to Buffalo and consulted pro-
fessional man we'll up In occult af-
fairs. He asked them ali sorts of
questions and found that they actua-
lily desired to sever friendly relations
with each other, but we're unable to
do so through some influence that
was stronger than their will power.
The occult chap put them both under
hypnotic spell and suggested to
them in that they should Shun each
other ever after. This thought he
impressed with great emphasis.

consciousness TIE couple did as they
had been hypnotized to do. They

How A Newspaper Was
Published In Kimberley Dur
ing The Siege.

Herbert G. Oliver, who is con-
nected with "The Diamond Fields
ADVERTISER" writing to his father, a
London journalist, and describing
his experiences during the siege of
Kimberley, says: 81 cannot help
expressing my admiration Of the
manner in which the conductors of

have contriyed to issue the paper
daily during the four months siege,

been isolated from the or wonrteld'

mination, but he is the best repreE--
entative of that hostility to privilege
favoritism and corruption which i@
the essence of Democracy, and which,
has become the one vital issue i'm
American politics.
The American people all love and
honor Dewey, but many believes
that the grand old man is being
deceived and used by Mclean and 9s
clique of corruptionists.
The Journal is happy to learn that
Descey is Democrat, and is surssi
that as Democrat he will be called
upon to support and strengthen I'M
some adequate capacity the coming
Democratic administration.
But the Journal stands, as it haaz
always stood, for William Jennings
Bryan as President of the UniteiE
States.

The issue only ceased for four or
five days toward the close of the
siege, having fallen under the ban
of the military authorities fer rev
aling the whole facts of the suffer-
ings of the people, and the distress,
damage and loss caused by the Beers
10O-pounder at Kamfersdam. True,
ON many days the journal was a
newspaper in name only-a COM
position OF cuttings from many old
numbers of 'sTit- Bits" and other per
iodicals. Recourse, too, was had to

from residents, and we had some
wonderful effusions in prose and yer-

paid their Sd. and got their paper
such as it was. Now and again We
did obtain some interesting news, as,
when despatch rider brought in a
fairly recent copy of "The Cape III
