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

by some, hut it should he remember <
ed that the force in all the bureaus

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.

DREAMS AND GHOSTS
Mating and Talking with Spirits
of Living and Dead.
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

and wanders abroad, they an? so

we shall call them) that WO encoun

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

Ouo thing fairly cortaln is that the

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.
Deep down in tho human mind
there oxlsts a belief that tho dead,
generally speaking, aro hostile and
dangerous lo tho living. Heneo tito
dread which will withhold not only a
Child, but almost any grown person
ot' either sex from passing alone

il is safe to say that nothing in the
world, or out of il, is regarded with
KUCh universal fear as a ghost-this
loo. notwithstanding tho fact that no
authenticated instance is on record
In which a specie or apparition of
any kimi did harm to a living crea
ture Tho suporstitution in question
is doubtless an inheritance from our
most remote ancestors, who believed
that tho dead were liable to assume
the ?mise and rob; ol' malignant de
vils; but lt seems strange that, mod
ern enlightenment should not have
dono away with so nonsensical a no
tion.
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

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

Ai Hie bottom of the ghost-fear is
a dread ot Hie mysterious, Hie un

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

To begin willi, what is Ibis strange

Professor Haer believes that il is

iginary. It is not even an "midis

no small part, of our time limit. Hut
where aro we to supli?se that it is

ne we to suppose that it Is simply an
invisible world, through which we
unconsciously wander iii our waking
moment*, thourgb unable to discern
Hu? pee plo (viewless under waking
renditions) who inhabit il?
Again, shall we, after we die, na

And. ll so. what will bo our condi

of the Trojan war, us Ulysses found
