A GENTLE ROAST Given Secretary Cortelyou By Te tutor Tillman Because He 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- ! portant thal I have foll it desirable 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.

I MIHI.Ill ll|H ... M kilto UUU&liOIl I in tho senate by inquiring whether i the vice president had received a re- < ply to tho resolution from tho seer.' . 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 rency bill is to bo brought. In ?ind ! pressed for consideration and lt I 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 ilu> chairman of thc committee on . (lnance. "Thc senator," added .Mr. 6 Tillman, looking at .Mr. Aldrich, v "knows thi' great power and tit fl 11 .uce which he deservedly hebb: with c the senate and with the country, r ?ind it is not worth while for him to -N liff ec I mock modesty.

W Mr. Tillman disavowed any int ea- 11 lion of saying Mr. Gorlolyou bad liol :lotio what he thought tilt; best. "I ii- V fortunately," he added, "in Ibis conn- a try we lind ourselves subjected io 11 ivliut appeals to some of us as usur- " mg ranroaus ot Pennsylvania ii they Ucl not obey tho'Hepburn Interstate :o in merco law in regard to thc own Mship of products they transport. I think this statement is ph?nom?nal," leclnred Mr- Tillman. Senator Gallinger suggested that tho law docs not become operativo until May 1, and ho regarded Hie abatement as so incredible that ho ?lid not be)lore it. "It is time the senate should do a little business," said Mr. Tillman, on [ts own accord. Wo have got a doctor In command of a 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.

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 arth, sa>s Professor Haer, may he 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 ? n the subject not as a statement ot ' scortatned fact, of course the mat- .' ur being ono respecting which ex- .'' ct knowledge is obviously imposai- " le but ?is ?i theory, which, he ' Iiiuka, linds endorsement in d?duite t nd logical evidences. lt is liol prac ?cable here, for lack ol' splice, even ' .., ...... . m: ??ream lil*1 is in a i urta in sonso a real life, ami mn loroly a "magic lantern show," in hielt Imagination uncontrolled, in iniastic colors, paints a m ttl t lt u te < f slides" may be put. as he offers hem tentatively, in the form of nest ions: To begin with, whal is Ibis strange calm which wo visit in our dreams? ?rofoasor Daer believes that ii is * dual, and by no moans purely In- ? glnnry. lt is not even an "utidis overed country," for we spend there 0 small part, of our Hine limit.

Shall WO bc? happy, or ' ?thqrwtso? In classical literature ne linds again and again the idea. , hit li the scientists seem to have lOrslstently entertained that the t ouls ot the departed Stiffer from a , h ron lc melancholy. Thus the heroes %, if the Trojan war, as Ulysses found ? hem when bc- ventured Into Hades, ? minimally lamenting their lol. wish- ? ng that they were alive again, Dut \ ms Bitch a not ion any proper basis? j Professor Dael's belief is unite op- , losite. At ?ill events, he deems it a ? ni:/..ike to believe that the ghosts VO meet in our wanderings through he domain in thc- Doy o ml are pur Hing, like the phantoms ?d' Hector nd Achilles which Odysseus met, an .1 together aimless and vegetative ex fllchcc. He thinks wo may rather UppoftO that they have occupations if one sort or another, useful in vays wo know liol of. if the wanderings of the ghnsl, [loop are under any soil ol' control. 1 would h,- Interesting to know by vital they are directed. Nothing, leomlngly, could be more haphazard. Venes and Inc idents follow one au ithor in n" orderly sequence, np laroiltly, and people come and go yltllOUl any oin ions rhyme or rea - >on. Many dreams, Of COtll'80, are ,-ery pleasurable, while cd hers are Tar from agrtealde and sometiines ? ven terrifying. Dui, as Professor Daer suggests, lhere ls no reason for supposing that in Hie region of thc Hereafter if bis theory, Identifying it with tho country we visit in our slumbers, be accepted is a placo de void of unpleasantnesses. Tho ghost thal walks in dreams, according to his idea, ls none other than the subconscious, or secondary, ?elf - the sir ingo "double?" which in habits every one of us, doing much of our thinking for us, yet only in rare Instances revealing ltnolf In such OfFIChR KILLL?
