A GENTLE ROAST

FAILED TO RESPOND
To a Itcsolutlon of tho Se?alo in
Reference to tho Issue of Panania
Hoads.-Senator Aldrich Defends
?ortelyuu mid Make Excuses for
Him, Which Onuses Senator Till
man to Use Some Caustic K?nincks.
Just before tim tin Ked States
Sonni o adjourned Tuesday Senator
Aldrich received a letter from Sec
rotary Cortelyou explaining the de
lay that has been experienced in his
reilly to the resolution calling on
him for information concerning the
recent Panama canal bond Issue and
tho lotter was promptly laid before
the senate. Karl lor In tho day Sena- 1
tor Tillman indulged In caustic, com
ment upon what he characterized
as the secretary's apparent "diso- 1
bed lonee" to a sonato resolution.
In his letter Mr. Cortelyou said:
"1 am sorry that there should
have been a misunderstanding as to
tho time when my answer to the
sonate resolution regarding the
treasury operations would be sent. In.
Had I boen advised of your request
to know when it might bo expected,
i would have replied thal I required 1
a little more tinto to go over the
mass of figures it involved, ll is my i
desire, ol course, thal all business ?
of Ibis kind shall lie disposed of ?
promptly( bul this matter is so lill- !

that every feature of tho report 1
should bo (dearly stated, both for the 1
information of tho senate and lu l
justice lo tho department. It is my l
desire and intention to submit a :
complote response to the resolution ?
and 1 hope to have it ready In tho I
course of tho next few days in all :
probability about tho beginning of i
next week.
"The amount of work involved in
tho preparation of such voluminous
data may not be fully appreciated 1
by some, hut it should be remember i

with financial matters, have been 1

tary of tho treasury. i
"Nothing yet," responded the vice t
president.
"lt ls a little curious thal an of- i
leer of tho government should be
willing after wo have given him con- :
rririorablo Hmo to send In the Infor- i
matlon," said Mr. Tillman. "Tho cur

seems strange that, tho secretary of
the treasury who ls directly res pon- ?
albie for our financial affairs should
rofuso to send in a report giving tho
information wo need."
Chairman Aldrich of tho finance
committee, who was out of tho room i
when Mr. Tillman made tho inquiry,
reentered tin? room at this juncture,
just aa Senator Platt suggested that
ho bo called.
"Wo aro told," said Mr. Tillman,
"that Secrotary Cortelyou is Ul, but
ho was not too lil to go to Now York
t.o mako a speech. It seems extra
ordinarily phenomenal that wo can
not get a report from him."
"The fact ls," said Mr. Aldrich.
*^tho papers were In form lo bo pre
sented and they were placed before
Secretary Cortelyou, but. he found In
Order to make the presentation to
tho senate in a form satisfactory to
himself would reunir? a longer time
than was supposed.
"The criticism In tho senate as to
that action led tho secretary to make
H frank and explicit answer to all
suggestions as to what was done
with the bonds and certificates of
y'^dobtednoss, Tho socrotary assured
I <, this morning thal he is prepar
ing this matter as rapidly ns possi
ble"
"f'i no definite timo fixed?" asked
Mr. Tillman. "As soon as possible
means between now and doomsday."
"Those of us who knew Mr. Cor
telyou," sahl Mr. Aldi ich, "know
that he ls in ver delinquent In his
public duties, and I think if Ibo sen
ator from South Carolina would find
an opportunity to talk this nial tor
over Willi him he would be satisfied."
" M (lld not lake that long to issue
tho bonds," insisted Mr. Tillman.
"Thal was a simple maller," re
fortod Mr. Aldrich. "The senator
from South Carolina does not realize
that ho can pul down on paper in
quiries that will take many month's
and much work on tho part of tho
force of a great ri"pnrl limul to an
?wer. Il ls much easier to ask ques
tions than to answer thom.
V "Tho senator will recall," Inter
rupted Mr. Tillman, "that these
questions wore asked by his own
.rom in lt lee. Now I will givo some
addll Ional reasons why wo WOUid
havo this Information forwarded to
us. I have a lotter from Mr. Kio
borg Inclosing a reply ho roceived
from Assistant Secretary Edwards.
"This," he continued, "may gl/a
somo* light as showing why tho sec
rotary IlndB lt so dlfllcult to answer
Inquirios wo have propounded. This
ls tho letter giving reasons why ho
refused to recognize bidders for
bonds."
In reply Mr. Tillman road from Ed
ward's lettor: 'You ar? advised thal
under the reservation made by thu
department allotment was first made
to individuals and Institutions for
amounts'not exceeding $10,000. The
remainder was allotted to tho highest
national bank.'
"This course was followed," tho
letter continued, "because it was not
doomed wiso it? tho currency strin
gency mah lag allotments to Individ- t
Hals which resulted in leaving 00 |
per cent, purchase price in the (
hanks and allowed them to take out
circulation on the Panama bonds.
"This circular made no reservation !"
of bids," declared Mr. Tillman. 1
"This is purely an executive function 1
and when tho facts are brought out s
I think they will show, that tho sec- 1
rotary of the treasury has utterly 1
disregarded tho law in Iiis anxiety, :
laudable as it may have boon, to
supply currency to Now York against 1
other parts of the country." 1
Mr. Tillman then turnod to Mr J
Aldrich and indulged in some per- 1
BOlial references to him. He doolav- N
ed that nothing could luivo consider- '
at lon In the senate while tlio chair- 1
man of the finance committee was v
Dut of tho chamber.
"Wo have to sit hero," he said, -1
"until his great personage comes '
through tho door." '
Mr. Tillman declared that the Ito- 1
publican side bad to await, the nod of

Tillman, looking at .Mr. Aldrich, v
"knows thi' great power and tit fl 11

?ind it is not worth while for him to -N

.Mr. Aldrich said ho had groat u

treasury and did not wish to discuss

secretary, ile was satisfied that in
i short lime they would bo laid hts- 0

Ile was sure the secretary had done H
what lie thought was best. W
Mr. Tillman disavowed any int ea- 11

leclnred Mr- Tillman.
Senator Gallinger suggested that
tho law docs not become operativo

abatement as so incredible that ho
?lid not be)lore it.
"It is time the senate should do a

DREAMS ANO GHOSTS.
Mating and Talki,-.,, with Spirits
of Living and Dead.
Prof. Biter, of norlin University,
Hays During Bicep Our Spirits
Wander About Heaven and Marth.
Tho mind lias a back door.
Tho brain has of ton boon called
ho house of tho mind. One should not
ie surprised to loam that it has a
lack door, Uko other houses.
It ls through this exit (hat tho
iou! escapes in tho silent hours-in
lui hour when wo aro in the strange
loath-like condition which wo call
deep. At such times lt roams abroad
n sourch of adventures, and t le
niently it linds very curious and even
istonishing ones.
In sleep wo pass out of tho body
tito a wonderful region, with which
n our waking moments wo aro not at
ill acquainted. What and where is
his region, nnd who aro tho people
vho Inhabit lt. Such questions are
nost Interesting, and now for the
lrst time comos forward a wise man
vho ventures to answer them.
Tho wise man's name ls Professor
rioritz Daer, who occupies the chair
ii phyclio-physics in the University
'I' Merlin Ho says (hat the niys
erious country which wo visit in our
Ironies is the Hereafter, and that the
?eople we meet lhere are in reality
;hosts. Some day, after wo are dead,
ve may como to know them hotter.
1'ach day of your existence on

ogarded as a lifo in miniature
sight conies, and you die tompor
rily. Tho whole term ol' your sur
ival in the world is a series of Utile
Ifo-tilllOS, interrupted hy brief per
xis of seeming death, which wo call
loop.
The likeness of sleep to death bas
icon the subject of a vast deal of
hilosophtcalcomment. Until is much
loser and more striking than bi gen
ially Imagined. When you fall into
lumber, your eyes turn upward,
our heart heat slackens, your pulse
e<-lillies feebler, and your breathing
lows down. Your condition, in a
.ord, counterfeits death most rc
inrkably.
\\ the death were real, your soul
Ollld take its departure tor good
nd all. never to return. Hut in this
unporary stale (according to the
li cory of Professor Haer) ii merely
rolled by mere physical limitations ,.,
neb as retard and impede tho move
louis ol' the body, \V
We often meei Iii our dreams peo- f:
lo who, as we well know, have long ()
eon dead. Vet, somehow, we are (
ot in the least surprised. We talk q
) them, ami hear (hem speak, as if
[ wore quite a matter of course. Why ,.,
hould this lie so. Professor Haer |
ays it is simply became ghosts are ;l
ho most natural kind ot' persons (o ;l
mounter in (be country of non-llv- ,.
n
lt is in the realm of the Hereafter v
hose people dwell; a realm in which j,
so Professor Haer believes) we must ?,
onie day take up our ow n residence. ?,
t seins to be a country of shadows. (]
int, unfortunately, the glimpses we
i>t of it aro too fleeting to enable us t
roporly to judge. Or rather, lt c
light be said that, for some reason
ot easy to explain, our waking mein- ;J
rles of our experiences in that mys- f,
I I ions region are so feeble and In- j,
1st Incl, save in rare imdances, that
hey serve only to puzzle and confuse ,
ur minds. i
Tin- dream folk, who dwell in the 0
md beyond the threshold of waking v
'lusciousness, appear (o be cheerful ^
noilgh. If we can judge of the coll- s
ilion of the dead from what we see (,
I' them When WO visit the stl'UllgC 0
ountry (hey Inhabit, it. would not t
oem that they are otherwise than (.
tippy. On the contrary, (hey are j
-fien merry; (hey talk pleasantly and j
onietlmes most amusingly.
lt may lie said that lllOsi of th*' "
copie wo meet in dreams are living ,
ndividuals. Yes, undoubtedly, but v
ot (he Ivlng persons themselves. ,
hese likewise (says Professor Haer) t,
re phantoms. For the living have .
.hosts a:, well as the dead. What we J
nean hy a ghost is the soul of a hu- j
nan being dead or alive, made vidi- s
de to tho eye. Such phenomena an- ,
arely, if ever, obsborved, in waking
UOllinlllH, but in the silent waddles,
linn i he spiritual self OSCnpOSl,
brough the back door of the mind |
ind wanders abroad, they are so
.oininon as (o be not OVCll noto
vorthy.
And, when- the ghosts ol' the liv j
Hg are concerned what nore mil -
ir.il than that VOUI phantom, or
nine, when it slips out of the body
md ?isih; tin' region of the Beyond,
ihOllld meet (he spectre;; ol' other
lleepng persons, likewise on the
ramble.' Most of tim souls (if such
we shall call them) thai wo encoun
ter on these occasions are, as miglll
he oxpected (bose of total strangers,
but many are friends of our waking
lives, and Sometimes (bey aro near]
relations. Doubtless, profitable ex
changes of recoil cotions in regard to
such moetings might bo made after
wards, between yourself and your
neighbor Smith, for example, follow
ing a dream conversation in which
you two engaged-woro lt not for
the excessively fleeting and frag
meutary oharactor of such memories,
which haston to escape us evon us wo
are trying to rcall thom.
One thing fairly cortain in that the
ghosts of tho doad hnvo no power to
communicate with us, unless it ho in
dreams. If they possossod such pow
er, thoy would undoubtedly exorciso
lt; yot (putting aside all tho phenom
ena of so-caled "spiritualism" as
hopelessly discredited) they give us
no opportunity of the kind, though
wo would so eagerly grasp it.
Deep down in the human mind
Lhere exists a belief that tho dead,
gOlierally speaking, aro hostile and
langerons lo the living. Hence tho
lread which will withhold not only a
-hlld, but almost any grown poison
)f either sex from passing alono
hough a graveyard at night. Indeed,
I is safo to say that nothing In tho
>vorh|, ur out of it. is regarded with
niel? universal fear as a ghost -Ibis
oo. notwithstanding tho fact that no
llithenUcatod instance ls on record
n which a specie or apparition of
my kind did harm to a living oroa
ure. Tho sttporstltutien in question
s doubtless an inheritance from our
nest remote ancestors, who believed
hat tho dead wore liable to assume
ho guise and role of malignant de
ntis; but lt seems strange that mod
trn enlightenment should not have
lono away with BO nonsensical a no
ion. 1
Oddly enough, however, when in ''
mr dreams wo encounter the ghosts '
>f the dead, we aro unterrifled. To '
lo so, indeed, appears quilo natural '
iud a matter of course. For under '
melt conditions the point of view is 1
dtattged. We ourselves ?ire phau '
oms likewise (according to Profos
?or Hiter), abd wo meei them, those 1
?Ibers, on an equal fooling. They
ire liol afraid of us, and why should 1
ve he afraid ol" I hem ?
Al the hot lom ol' the ghost-fear is
i dread of the mysterious, lite un- '
mown and tho intangible. Hut, 1
V'hetl your soul lins made a ti-mpor
irv escape through Hie mind's hack '
loor, it finds il sid I' in a world where, 1
s one might say. all the relations of
binga aro altered. It has arrived, 1
o to say, behind tho scones, and (as ?
?udor circumstances on the stage) *
he mystery becomes mere maller of 1
ourse. Intangibility is normal in '
be realm of the Hereafter especial
v. when oneself is a pail ol' il.
Professor liner advances his ideas ?
