A GENTLE ROAST Given Secretary Cortelyou By ie lator Tillman Because He FAILED TO RESPOND To ll Resolution of tho Sciltlto tn ltoference to tho Issue of Panama Hoods.-Senator Aldrich Defends Cortelyou and Make Excuses for Him, Which Causes Senator Till man to Use Some Caustic Remarks. Just before tho United States Senate adjourned Tuesday Senator aldrich received a lotter from Sec retary Cortelyou explaining the tie lay that has been experienced In his reilly to the resolution calling on him for information concerning tho recent Panama canal bond issuo and tho lotter was promptly laid before tho senate. Barlior in tho day Sena tor Tillman indulged in caustic com ment upon what ho characterized as tho secretary's apparent "diso bedience" to a sonato resolution. In his letter Mr. Cortelyou said: "I um sorry that there should have been a misunderstanding as to the Ihne when my answer lo the senate resolution regarding tho treasury opera!ions would be sent In. Had I been advised of your request lo know when il might, be expected, 1 would have replied thal. I required a lillie moro lime (n go over (he muss of ligures ii Involved, lt is my desire, of course, thal all business of this kind shall be disposed of promptly, but this matter is so Im portant that I have felt it desirable that every feature of the report should be clearly slated, both for the information of the senate and In justlco to tho department, lt is my deidre and intention to submit a complote responso to the resolution : ami 1 hope to have it ready in the course of tho next, few days in all ; probability about the beginning of next week. "'liie amount of work involved in tho preparation ol' stich voluminous dala may md be fully appreciated by some, hut it should he remember < ed that the force in all the bureaus herc, which have lo do in Ulna, toi,V I With financial matters, have been ' ?M. iiiiuinii >i|?.i.u kiita iiuustion i in tho sonate by Inquiring whether < thc vice president had rccelvod a re t jdy to the resolution from the soere- . ?Hi tary of tho treasury. i "Nothing yid," responded the vice i president. "lt ls a llttlo curious thai an pf Icer of (he government should be willing after wo have given him con- : sidorablo Hmo to send In the Infor- i matkm," said Mr. Tillman. "Tho cur rency bill ta to bo brought In and pressed for consideration and it : seems strange that tho secretary of tho treasury who is directly respon- i ul bin for our financial affairs should rofuBO to send in a report giving the information wo need." Chairman Aldrich of tho finance .omniitteo, who was out of tho room when Mr. Tillman made the inquiry, reentered tho room at this juncture, just as Senator Platt suggested that ho bo called. "Wo aro told," said Mr. Tillman, "that Secrotary Cortelyou Is HI. but ho was not too 111 to go to New York to make a speech, it seems extra ordinarily phenomenal that wo can not cot a report from bim." "The fact ls." said Mr. Aldrich, "tho papers were in form to be pro ?eiltOd and they were placed before Secrotary Cortelyou, but he found In order to make the presentation to tho sonate in a form satisfactory to hiinsolf would require a longer time than was supposed. "Tho criticism m tim senate as lo that, notion led lin; secretary lo make a frank and explicit answer to all suggestions as (o what was done with tho bonds and cortlflcatos of ' vlohtedtlOSH. Tho secretary assured h this morning thal he is prepar ing this matter as rapidly as possi ble." "IMHO (jefinlto time fixed?" asked Mr. Till man. "As BOOS as possible means between now and doomsday." "Those of us who knew Mr. Cor telyou," said Mr. Aldrich, "know ijiat he ls never delinquent In his publie duties, and 1 think if tho SOU* ator from South Carolina would (Ind an opportunity lo talk this maller over willi him lo- would lld satisfied." "lt dbl not take (hal long to Issue the blinds," Insisted Mr. Tillman. 'i hat was a simple matter," re torted Mr. .Millich. "'Tho senator from South Carolina does liol realize that hO eau put down on paper In quiries Hutt Will lake many months and much work on tho part of the rone of a great department to an Hwer. Il is lunch easier to ask ques tions than to answer (hem. (t "Tho senator will recall," inler rtipted Mr. Tillman, "tba! thoso questions woro asked by his own committee. Now I will givo some additional reasons why wo WOUid liavo this Information forwarded to us. I liavo a lotter from Mr. Kio? borg Inclosing a reply ho rocoived from Aindstant Sooretary Edwards. "This," ho continued, "may glv? some* light as showing why tho soo rotary linds it so dillleult to answer Inquirios wo havo propounded. This ls tlio letter giving reasons why he refused to recognize bidders for bonds." In reply Mr. Tillman road from Ed ward's lotter: 'You ar? advised that under tho reservation made by tho department allotment was first mude to individuals and institutions for amounts'not exceeding $10,000. The remainder was allotted to tho highest national bank.' '"I'hls course WUB followed," tho lotter continued, "because lt was not doomed wiso in tho currency strin gency making allotments to individ uals which resulted in leaving HO per cont, pu rehuso price In the hanks and allowed thom to take out circulation on the Panania bonds. "This circular made no reservation Of hids," declared Mr. Tillman. "This is purely ntl executive function and whon the fads aro brought out I think they will show, that the sec retary of the treasury has utterly disregarded tho law in his anxiety, laudable as it may have been, to supply currency to New York against other parts of tho country." Mr. Tillman then turned to Mr Aldrich and indulged in some per sonal references to him. Ho declar ed that nothing could have consider ation in tho sonate while tho chair man of tho finance committee was out of tho chain her. "Wo have to sit here," ho said, "until his groat personage comes through t he door." Mr. Tillman declared that tho Re publican side had lo await the nod of the chairman of the committee on finance. "The senator," added Mr. Tillman, looking at Mr. Aldrich, "knows tho great power and I ll flu - OtlCO which ho deservedly holds with the senate and with the country, and it is not worth while for him to affect mock modesty. He is loo great a man to have any affect?t ion of tiny sort." Mr. Aldrich said ho had groat COnfidoilCO in Ibo secretary of tho treasury and did not wish to discuss this question until he had before hitit tho slaloment and suggestions of ibo secretary. Ho was satisfied thal in ?I short time they would be laid be fore the senate ami ho thought tho secretary should be given time to reidy in (lie best possible manner. Ile was sure tho secretary bad done : what he thought was best. Mr. Tillman disavowed any lulen- j1 lion of saying Mr. Cortolyou had not llOllO ulla' be thought the best. "Ull ror Innately," ho added, "in this coun- ; Hy we bud ourselves BU bj OC tod lo ivhllt appeals lo some of us as UStir- 1 mg railroads ol Pennsylvania il they lid not obey the Hepburn Interstate .ommorco law in regard lo the own .rship ol' products they transport. 1 bink this statement is phenomenal," declared Mr. Tillman. Senator Gallinger suggested that tho law does not become operative until May 1, and he regarded Hie stntoinont as so Incredible that be lld not believe it. "It is time the senate should do a little business." said Mr. Tillman, on Its own accord. We have got a doctor la command of n ship and all sorts of things are going on. I do not know what is going to happen next. It may be a declaration of war. The senate devoted over two hours lo considering the bill revising the criminal laws of the United States and then at 4:15 adjourned. KKFU8KI) All) TO HIS SISTER And So Ho Shot Down and Murder ed M.

Prof. ?arr, of Dorita University, Says During Sleep Our Spirits Wander About Heaven and Earth. Tito mind hus n back door. The brain lias often been called tho house of the mind. One should not be surprised to learn that lt has a back ?loor, Uko other houses. It ls through this exit that tho soul escapes in the silent hours in tho hour when we are in tho strange death-like condition which we call sleep. At such times it roams abroad in search ol' adventures, and fro cition! ly it linds very curious and oven astonishing ones. In sleep we pass out of (he body Into a wonderful region, willi which in our waking moments wo are not at all acquainted. What and where is this region, and who aro tho people who inh?bil lt. .Such questions tire most Interesting, ?ind now for thc; llrst. time comes forward a wisc? man who ventures to answer them. Tho wise man's mime is Professor .Moritz Haor, who occupies the chair of phycho-physics in the University of Merlin. Ile says that the mys terious country whic h Wo visit in our dreams is the Hereafter, and that the peoplo WO meed there are in reality ghosts. Some clay, aller wo are dead, WO may CO lu O to know them bolter. Haili day ol your existence- on earth, soys Professor liner, may be regarded as a lifo in miniature Night comes, and you die tempor arily. Tho whole tenn of your sur vival in the wendel is a series of little life-times, interrupted hy brief per iods of seeming death, whic h we c all sleep. The likeness of sleep lo death has been the subject of a vast deal of philosophical comment. Hut it is much closer and more striking than is gen i orally imagined. When you fall into slumber, your eyes turn upward, ? your heart-heal slackens, your pulse becomes feebler, and your breathing ? slow;; down. Your condition, in a ? word, counterfoils death most re i mark ably. ? ll ibo ci?., i were real, your soul i would take its departure- tor good | incl all, never to return. Hut in this ? i en i pe i ra ry state' (according lo the i theory of Professor Puer) it morely i i roiled by mere physical limitations nedi as ie tard and impede the- move* monts <d' the body. We ofte n mool in our dreams peo ple w ho, as we- we ll know, have? long , boen dead. Yet, somehow, we are not in the least surprised. We talk to them, ami hear Hmm speak, as If it were ? 111 i I ? . a matter of course. Why should this be so. Professor ilaer says it is simply because ghosts are the mosl natural kind of persons to encounter in the country of non-liv ing. lt is in the realm of thc? Hereafter these peoplo dwell; a realm in w hich (so Professor liner believes! we must some clay take up our own residence. lt se ni s lo be a country of shadows. Mut, Unfortunately! Hie glimpses we get of it aro too fleeting to enable us properly to judge. Or rather, lt might be said (bal, for some reason not easy (o explain, our waking mem ories of our experiences in that mys terious region are so feeble and In distinct, save in rare instances, that itu y serve only to puzzle and confuse i)iir minds. The dream folk, who dwell in thc1 tami beyond the threshold of waking consciousness, appear to be cheerful enough. If wo cnn judge of the con dillon of the dead from what we see ol' them when we visit the strang?' country they inhabit, it would not seem (bat they are otherwise (ban happy. On tho contrary, they are often merry; they talk pleasantly and sometimes most amusingly. lt may bo said that most of tho people we meed in dreams un? living individuals. Yes, undoubtedly, but uni the Ivlng pbrsons themselves. Those likewise (says Professor Haor) are phantoms. For the living have ghosts as WOll as the ?lead. What we mean by a ghost ls the soul ol' a hu man being dead or alive, niade visi ble lo thc? eye. Such phenomena are rarely, if ever, obsbcrvod, Iii waking moments, but in the silent watches, when the spiritual sell escapes through tho back door of the mind and wanders abroad, they an? so Common as to be md ?veil note wort hy. And, where- Hu- ghosts of the' liv ing an? concerned, v. hat more nat ural than thal ?our phantom, or lilllie, when it slips out ol th?? body and visit;. Ibo region of the lleyond, Should meet Hie spectres of other sleepng persons, likewise on the ramble'.' Most of the souls (if such we shall call them) that WO encoun ter on these occasions are, as might he expected those of total strangers, but many are friends of our waking live:., and sometimes they ar?? near relations. Doubtless, profitable ex change's of recollections in regard to such meetings might bo made after wards," Iud ween yourself and your neighbor Smith, for oxamplo, follow ing a drouin conversation in which you two engagod-- woro lt not for tho oxcesslvoly fleeting and frag montary oharactor of auch memorlos, which hasten to oscape us even au wo are trying to rcall thom. Ouo thing fairly cortaln is that the ghosts of tho dcad'havo no power to coinmunlcato with us, unless it bo in dreams. If they possossod such pow er, thoy would undoubtedly exorciso It; yet (pulling asido 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.

Oddly enough, however, when In our dreams wo encountor the ghosts of the aead, wo tuc ttnterrlfled. To do so, indeed, appears quite natural ami a matter of course. For under such conditions lite point of view ls (.hanged. We ourselves aro phau loins likewiso (according to Profes sor Haer), and we meei them, those others, on an equal footing. They are not afraid of us, and why should we he afraid ol' I hem ? Ai Hie bottom of the ghost-fear is a dread ot Hie mysterious, Hie un known and i lie intangible. Hut, when youl- soul has made a tempor ary escupe through the mind's hack door, il linds itself in a world where, as one might say, all tho relations of Illings are altered. lt bas arrived, so lo say, behind tho scones, and (as under circumstances on the,stage) the mystery becomes mere matter of course.
