A GENTLE ROAST Given Secretary Cortelyou By f e lator Tillman Because He FAILED TO RESPOND To a lu-solution of tho Semite In Deference to tho Issue of Panama Hoods.-Senator Aldrich Defends Cortelyou and Malu? Excuses for Him, Which Causes .Senator Till man to Cse Sumo Caustic Domarles. Just before tho United States Se?alo adjourned Tuesday Senator Aldrich received a letter from Sec retary Cortelyou explaining tho de lay that has hoon experienced in his reilly to the resolution calling on him for information concerning the recent Panama canal bond Issuo and tho letter was promptly laid before Hu; senate. Earlier in tho day Sena tor Tillman Indulged in caustic com ment upon what ho characterized as the secretary's apparent "diso bedience" to a sonato resolution. In his lotter Mr. Cortelyou said: "I am sorry that there should have beim a misunderstanding as to the time when my answer lo the sonato resolution regarding the treasury operations would bo sent In. Had I been advised of your request to knew when ii might be expected, 1 would have replied that I required a little more time to go over Hu; mass ol' Il gu res it involved. If is my desire, ol course, that all business ? of this kind shall be disposed ol' ? promptly, but this matter is so lin- : portant that I hav ; fell il desirable that every foil tu re of the report 1 should be clearly stated, both for the information of the senate and lu 1 justice to tho department, lt ls my 1 desire and Intention to submit a : completo response lo Hu; resolution '< and I hopo lo lui vc; lt. ready In Ibo I course of thc; next few days in all : probability about the beginning ol' l next. week. "Tile amount of work Involved in thc; preparation of such voluminous data may not be fully appreciated 1 by some, 1ml it should be remember ? ed thal tho force in all the bureau? I here, which have lo clo intimately I with Ummeln! malters, have boon ' ?Ur. i ionian i.,,* ... ... uno tic.njm.ion 1 in tho senate by Inquiring whether i tho vice president had received a re- i lily to tho resolution from the seer . tary of the treasury. "Nothing yet," responded the vice > president. "lt ls a little curious thal an of ficier of tho government should be willing after wo have given him c.on uidorablo Hmo to send in the Infor mation," said Mr. Tillman. "Tho cur rency bill ls to bo brought In and pressed for consideration and it seems strange that thc; secretary of tho treasury who ls directly respon sible-, for our financial affairs should rofuso to send In a report giving tho information wo need." Chairman Aldrich of tho finance .ommltteo, who was out of tho room when Mr. Tillman made tho Inquiry, reentered tho room at this juncture, just aa Senator Platt suggested that ho bo called. "Wo aro told," said Mr. Tillman, "that Secrotary Cortelyou ls 111, but ho was not too 111 to go to New York to make a speech. It seems extra ordinarily phenomenal that wo can not get a report from him." "Tho fact ls." said Mr. Aldrich, "tho papers were in form to bc; pre sented and they wine placed before; Secretary Cortelyou, but he found in order to make thc; presentation to tho sonato in a form satisfactory to himself would require a longer lime than was supposed. "The criticism In tho sonate as to that action led the; secrotary to make a frank and explicit answer to all suggestions as to what was done; willi the; bonds and e-orl ideates of tlebtednoss. Tim socrotary assured i this morning (hat ho is prepar ing this limiter as rapidly as possi ble." "ls no ? I < - i i 11 i l ? ? lime fixed?" asked Mr. Tillman. "As soon as possible means ho tw co ii now ami doomsday." ."Those Of us who know Mr. Cor telyou," said Mr. Aldrich, "know Hial he is never delllK|lieill in his publia <iutlos, and l (bink ir (be son ator from South Carolina would lind an Opportunity to lallt this mailor over with him he would be satlslied." ""lt did not tallo thal long to Issue Hie bonds," insisted Mr. Tillman. "Thal was a simple; matter/' re torted Mr. Aldrich. '"Tho senator from South Carolina does md realize that be can pul down on paper In quilles thal will lake many months and much work on the par! of the force ol' a great department to an swer. lt is lunch easier to ask e|ii'\; tionn than to answer I beni, t, "Tho senator will recall," inler rupted Mr. Tillman, "that thoso ouest lons were asked by his own com in lt tee. Now I will givo scum; additional reasons why wo woo d liavo this Information forwarded to us. I have a letter from Mr. Kio borg Inclosing a reply ho received from Assistant Secretary Edwards. "This," ho continued, "may glva somo' light as showing Why tho sec retary linds it so diillcult to auswor inquiries wo havo propounded. This ls tho lotter giving reasons why ho refused to recognize bidders for bonds." In reply Mr. Tillman road from Ed ward's letter: 'You ar? advised that nuder tho reservation made by the department allotment wns 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 deemed wiso in Ibo currency strin gency making allotments to individ uals which resulted in leaving Ol' per cont, purchase price in the banks and allowed them to take out circulation on tho Panama bonds. "This circulai' made no reservation of bids," doclnrod Mr. Tillman. "This is purely an executive function and whoa tho facts are brought out I think they will show that the sec retary of tho treasury has utterly disregarded tho law in his anxiety, laudable as it may have boon, to supply currency to New York against other purls of tim country." Mr. Tillman then turned to Mr Aldrich and Indulged in nome per sonal references to him. Ho declar ed that nothing could have consider ation In Hie senate while tho chair man of the finance committee was out of tho chamber. "Wo have to sit hore," ho said, "until his great personage comes through the door." Mr. Tillman declared that tho Re publican sido had to await tho nod pf tito chairman of tho committee on finance. "The senator," added Mr. Tilintan, looking al Mr. Aldrich, "knows tho great power and Infill once which ho deservedly holds with the senate and with the country, and it is not worth while for him l<> affect mock modesty, lie is too great a man lo have any affect al ion of any sort." Mr. Aldrich said he had great confidence in tho secretary ?d' tho Lrcastiry and did not wish to discuss this question until ho had before him tho statement and suggestions of the secretary. Ho was satisfied thal In i short time they would bo laid be fore tho se?ale and be thought tho tecretiiry should bo given limo lo reply In tho best, possible manner. lit1 \v;is sure t bo secretary bad done ivhnt lie thought was best. Mr. Tillman disavowed any Inton ion of saying Mr. CortolyoU had liol lone whal ho thought tho best. "Un fortunately," ho added, "In this conn ry wp find ourselves subjected to Abai appeals lo swine of US as usur ng railroads ot Pennsylvania il they j lld not obey tho Hepburn Interstate loni moree law In regard to tlic own ership of products they transport. I, bink (his statement is phenomenal,'' ! leclared Mr. Tillman. Senator Gulliugcr suggested that he law does not. become operative until May i, and he regarded the itatemont as so Incredible that ho lid not bol love it. "It is timo the se?alo should do a little business," sahl Mr. Tillman, on its own accord. Wo have got a doctor In command of a ship and all sorts >f things are going on.

Prof. Haor, of norlin University, Hays During Sloop Our Spirits Wander About I len ven and Marth. Tho mind has a back door. Tho brain has often boon called tho house of t he mind. Oneshould not bo surprised lo loam that it has a back door, like other houses. It ls through this exit that the soul escapes in the silent hours-ill ibo hour when we aro in (be strange death-like condition which wo call sleep. At snell times lt roams abroad in search ol' adventures, and fre quently it linds very eui lons and even astonishing ones. In sleep wo pass out of tho body Into a wonderful region, with Which in our waking moments wo aro not at all acquainted. What and whore is this region, and who aro tho peoplo who Inhabit lt. Such questions are most interesting, and now for tho first time comes forward a wise man who ventures to answer them. The wise man's name is Professor .Moritz Haor, who occupies the chair of phycho-physics in the University of Hoi lin. Ile says that the mys terious country which we visit in our dreams is the Hereafter, and that tili? people we meid lhere nie in reality ghosts. Some ?lay, aller we are dead, i wo may como lo know them hotter. lOach day of your existence on earth, sa\s Professor Haor, may he regarded as a life in miniature. ; Night ionios, and vim die tempor arily. The whole terni of your sur vival in Hie world is a series of little ? life-limes, interrupted by brief por- < iuds of seeming death, which we call ; sleep. I Tho likeness of sleep to death has ; been the subject of a vast deal of i philosophical comment, Hui it is much t (doser and moro striking than is Ron- ( Orally imagined. When you fall into t slumber, your eyes turn upward, | your heart beat slackens, your pulse becomes feebler, and your breathing , slows down. Your condition, in a ? word, counterfeits death most re- ( markably. ? If Ibo death were' real, your soul | would take its departure for good | and all. never to return. Hut in this ., temporary slate (according to the ( theor} of Professor Puer) lt morely i trolled by mere physical limitations , sm b as retard and impede thc move ments of tho body. ^ We often meei in our dre. ms peo j pto who, as we well know, have long , boen dead. 'Set, somehow, we are ( not in th<' leasl surprised. We talk , to them, and hear them speak, as if it were quite a mal ter of ioni se. Why should Ibis be so. Professor Han says it is si ni jd y because ghosts an the most natural kind ol' persons to . encounter in tho country of non-llv- , iiig. Ii is in the realm of tho Hereafter those people dwell; a realm in which (so Professor Haor believes) we must some day take up our own residence. It som S to be a country of shadows. Hui, unfortunately, (he glimpses we get of it are too fleeting to enable us properly to judge. Or rather, lt might be said that, for some reason not easy to explain, OUT waking mem ories of our experiences in that mys terious region are so fcoblo and In distinct, save in rare instances, (hat they serve only lo puzzle and confuse our minds. The dream folk, who dwell in the land beyond (he threshold of waking consciousness, appear to bi- cheerful enough. If we can judge of (he con dil ion of the dead from what we see of them when we visit the si range country they inhabit, it would not seem that they are otherwise (han happy. On the Contrary, they are often merry; they talk pleasantly and sometimes most amusingly. lt maj be said thal most of the peoplo we meid in dreams are living Individuals. Yes, undoubtedly, hut not the Iving persons themselves. Those likewise (says Professor Daer) aro phil ll toms, For the living have gllOstS ... Well as the dead. What we mean by a ghoul ls Hie soul of a hu man being dead or alive-, made visi ble to ibo eye. Such phenomena are rarely, if ever, obsberved. in waking moments, but in the silent waldies, when the spiritual self escapes through (he back door of the mimi ami wanders abroad, they are so common as to be not oveh note worthy. And, where the ghosts of Ibo liv iii)', are concerned, v. hal mon- nat ural than thai your phantom, or Illino, Wheii il slips Olli Of the body and visits the region of the Heyond. should meet the spectres, ol' oilier slCCpllg persons, likewise on Hie ramble? Most of the souls (if such we shall call them) that we encoun ter on (luve occasions are, as might he expected those of total strangers, but many are friends of our waking lives, ami sometimes they are near relations, Doubtless, profitable ex changes of recollections in regard to such nioetlngr might be made after wards, between yourself and your neighbor Smith, for exniuplo, follow lng a dream conversation In which you two engagod - woro lt not foi the excessively Hooting and frag montary ohaructor of such memori?n, which huston to oscapo us ?von as wo aro trying to rcall thom. Ono thlug fairly cortain ls that the ghosts of tho dead hnvo no power to communicate with us, unloss lt bo lu dreams. If they possossed such pow or, they would undoubtedly oxoreiso lt; yet (putting asido all tho phenom ena of so-caled "spiritualism" as: hopelessly dlscroditod) thoy give us! no opportunity of tho kind, though wo would so ongerly grasp it. Hoop down In tho human mind there exists n belief that tho dead, generally speaking, aro hostile and dangerous lo tho living. Heme the dread which will withhold not only a child, hut almost any grown person of either sex from passing alone though a graveyard at night, indeed, ll is safe to say that nothing In the world, or out of ll, is regarded with sueh universal fear as a ghost this too, notwithstanding the fact that no au thou licit tod instance is on record in which a specre or apparition of any kind did harm lo a living crea ture. The suporstitutlon in question is doubtless an inheritance from out most remote ancestors, who believed that tin! dead were liable to assume tho guise and rob; of 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 encounter tin? ghosts of the ?lead, we aro unterrifled. To do so, indeed, appears quit o natural and a matter of course. For under such conditions Hie point of view is changed. We ourselves are phan toms likewise (according to Profes sor Daer)i and we meei them, those others, on an equal footing. They are not afraid ?d' us, and why should Wc he afraid of i beni ? Al the bottom of the ghost-foar is II dread ol Hie mysterious, the un known ami ihe intangible, Hut, when your soul has made a tempor ary escape through the mind's back loor, it linds Itself in a world where, is one might say, all the relations of things are altered. lt has arrived, ia lo say. behind tho scenes, and (as inder circumstances on Hie stage) he mystery becoim s mere matter of -ourse. Intangibility is normal in he realm of the Hereafter especlnl y, when oneself is a purl of it. Professor llaor advances his ideas m the sub Joe, t not as a statement of iscortaincd fact, of course the mat- 1 er being one respecting which erz iel knowledge is obviously impossi- ' ile but as a theory, which, he 1 kinks, linds endorsement in d?duite ' ind logical evidences, ll is not prat - icable here, foi lack ol' space, even 1 ...... .,,?.: urea m nie is m a ?erl a in sense a real lifo, and liol nerdy a "niagb lantern show," in vhich imagination uncontrolled, in anlast ic. cobo s, paints a multiiutc d' slides" may be put. ns Im offers hem tentatively, in the form of inosl ions: To begin with, what this strange .calm Which we visit in our dreams? Professor Buer believes thal it is ictttal, and by no means purely in Iglnary. It is not even au "midis- ' :ovored country." for WO spend there 1 10 small part of our time limit. Hut 1 where mo wo to suppose that it is ocated? Is it near or far away? Ol lie we to suppose that it ls simply an nvlslblo world, through which we ' inconsciously wander in our waking 1 nomonts, thourgh unable lo discern he people (viewless under waking .onditlons) who inhabit ii? Again, shall ve, aftor we die, as nimlng tn pormanoiu fashion the .hostly state, ourselves become in lablttints of this mysterious country' \nd. if so, what will be our condi lon therein? Shall we he happy, dr otherwise?

Thus the heroes d' the Trojan war, as Ulysses found hem when he ventured into Hades, .ontinually lamenting their lot. wisti ng that they were alive again Hut ins such a notion any proper basis? Professor liner's belief is qiiite op iOSitO. At all events, he deems it a lilsttlkO to believe that the ghosts ,ve meet in our wanderings through he domain in the So/end ar,- ?mr ming. Ilk? the phantoms id' Hector ind Achilles which Ody. sens met. an illogcther aimless ami vegetative ox BtenCC.
