supper most q .h- old foiKs went home

Hot Roast of Hopkins of Illinois by
Main Statesman.

Washington Jan. 5.-Speaker Hender-
SON was again today detained at his
nome by illness and Mr.. Dalzell, of
Pennsylvania, by designation of the
speaker, presided over the deliberations
OF the house. Without intervening bust
ness the debate on the apportionment
bin was resumed. Mr.. Littleiield, of
Maine was the first speaker. His arSu-
nent was in favor of the Burleigh bill.
That bill provided for house OF 3S6
members. Mr. Littletieid declared that
the Hopkins bill could probably be en-
titled IAN act to cripple the state OF
Maine in her representation in the house
and in the electoral college, lie re-
sented what he termed Mr.. Hopkins
assault on the state of Maine. Ihat
statement drew from Mr.. Hopkins an
indignant denial, which led to sharp
exchange between the two members.
Mr. I.ittlefield sarcastically called Mr..
Hopkins attention to the men who like
Lovejoy and Fuller, had gone to III
inois to give distinction to that state.
Yet" he said, the gen.leman's
speech yesterday was saiuted with
pettyfogging assault upon Maine
The colloauy between Mr.. Littlefield
and Mr.. Hopkins became exceedingly
sharp at times. Mr.. Hopkins claimed
that Mr.. Littlefield had violated the
rule with reference to the second person
about fifty times.
The gentleman is becoming exceed
in9ly technical and sensitive retorted
MI l.ittleiield II will refer to him later
in the third person, and later still |
anticipate that he will have shrunk
sufficiently to permit me to refer to him
in the fourth or fifth person, and per-
haps in the end ] can eliminate him al
together" daughter and applauSe.)

A HOUSE OF HORROR.
Bellevue Hospital Gave Violent Treat
ment to Patients.

New York, Jan. 5.-Dr. Alexander
Trauman, who was superintendent OF
the insane asylum on Ward Island when
it was under the city's control, speaking
last night of the alleged abuses in Belle
Vue hospital:
1T was a common thing While l was at
the insane pavilion to find patients with
bruises on their faces and other marks of
physical violence. While l was at Wards
Island we used to get patients frequently
from the insane pavilion at Bellvue who
were badly marked. Sometimes they had
broken ribs. 1t got so bad that DIR. Nc
Donald kept a book in which he entered
the injuries on patients received. SO that
they could not be charged to his subor-
dinates.
I'm the pavilion at Bellevue there was
no safeguard for the patients against the
nurses In place of that kind there
should be a physician on duty all the
time.
1.-THE mechanical restraints still used
at Bellevue are an open door to brutan-
ties. They save lot of trouble for the
nurses, but they are out of date and Of
ten injure the patient.
with the worst cases on Wards ISL
and they have never used mechanical
restraint Of any kind since 1884"

DISGRACEFUL
SEN. MONEY SAYS WEST POINT
IS SCANDALOUS-FOR VOL
UNTEER OFFICERS.

Washington. Jan. 5.-When the senate
convened today two resolutions offered
yesterday by Mr.. Pettigrew We're contin-
ued until Monday. A bill extending the
mining laws to saline lands was passed.
1t declares all unoccupied public lands
containing salt deposits to be subject to
location and purchase under the mining
law.
The Senate then proceeded to the con-
sideration of the army reorganization bl1i.
Mr.. Proctor of Vermont offered as an
amendment to section % the provision in
troduced by himself yesterday concern
ing vacancies in the position of chief Of
staff The amendment was adopted.
When the section of the bill was reach
ed providing for the appointment OF men
to be officers in the regular army, an en-
tended discussion enSued. Mr.. Money
declared there were many officers in the
volunteer army who We're as clearly EN-
titled as gentlemen and officers to COM
missions in the regular army as the ca
diets, who by hazing and by their tesl-
nnony before the investigation committee
''are today disgracng the whole country
at West Point The com1nittee amend
ment providing that volunteer ohcers
may be appointed to second lieutenan-
cies was agreed to, thus restoring the
house provision that volunteer Officers
might be appointed to the grade Of frs!

need BETTER LEGISLATION
INTER STATE COMMERCE COMMISSION POWERLESS AT PRES
ENT TO CONTROL UNRULY RAILROADS.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The fourth annual
report OF the Interstate commerce COM
mission has been sent to congress. At
tention is called by the commission to the
necessity for further legislation amend
ing the act to regulate commerce, the
reason for urging these amendments
having been carefully explained in pre-
vions reports. The knowledge of condit-
ions and tendency they say increase
rather than lessen the necessity Tor leg
islative action upon the lines already in
dicated and in such other directions as
will furnish an adequate and workable
statute for the regulation of commerce
among the several states"
ut is evident" the report says, that
railroad managers generally have made
no attempt to conform their practices to
the spirit Of the law. They may keep
within its letter and succeed in avoid
ing it's penalties, but they claim that
they are virtually compelled to counter
&C; its aim and evade its observance.

Los Angeles, Jan. 5.-"My only policy
will be to conduct the railroad on a
business basis said President Chas. NJ.
Hays of the Southern Pacific company
in an interview. Il shall endeaVor to so
direct matters as to be fair to all par
ties There may be some difference of
opinion but l will do my best. My first
duty of course, is to the shareholders of
the company, but think the system can
be operated in business way and yet
be fair to the people. I find everywhere
a tendency to create difference of opin-
ion btween the railroad company and
their patrons and sometimes there is not
good reason for it. The Southern Pacific
will endeavor to give to every point
everything to which it is entitled. The
