MURDER AND HYPNOTISM.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 26.—Hypnotism was an-
nounced to-day by wife murderer Geo.
Palntor as the method by which he expects
to escape the gallows, notwithstanding that
the supreme court has just affirmed his
sentence. He says he tfhlnks that hypnot-
ism will help him to a pardon by the gov-
ernor. This is how he reasons It out and
pretty much in his own words: "Yes, sir, a
man in a hypnotic state must tell the truth.
He must act just as he did on the night or
the day they are questioning him about.
Now I offer myself to be hypnotized. I am
not afraid of the truth. And I tell you the
truth will come out If the man is put in a
hypnotic state. It was done long ago in
San Francisco, and in France a commission
appointed by the government, after exam-
ining the matter, fully recommended that
hypnotism be made a part of the machin-
ery of justice. And look at Judge Daly of
J\ew York. Did not he read a paper before
one of the oongresses In the art palace in
the presence of a number of scientific men,
K™6 mm Perhaps the best known in
nan V not he ur£e that a
hypnotic college be established so that
hypnoUc experts might be trained to help
the officers of the law? A bill with this
provision was introduced in the last Cali-
fornia legislature and it has been proved
th l. exPert can
bring out■ the truth when he operates on a
person that is concealing it. This same
thing is done in Irvlng's play of 'The Bells'
precisely as it is done in real life Why
not long ago it was tried in St. Louis and
I wrote to the man who was subjected to
the hypnotic test and he wrote me back
his experience. It was the same as all the
others who tried it. In the hypnotic state
a man must tell the truth. Now I think
when Governor Altgeld hears of this he
■will arrange It so that I may have a test"
Palntor occupies the cell that one of the
cxeouted anarchists was confined in.

THE IRON TRADE.
Cleveland, 0., Oct. 26.—The Iron Trade
Review this week says: It Is to be ex-
pected that the Iron trade will share in
the better feeling begotten by the news
that the silver purchase repeal is certain.
Two months ago when the house action
was supposed to carry with It the assur-
ance of senatorial concurrence, there was
thought to be soma slight betterment In
business along with the increased hope-
fulness. To what extent this would have
grown but for senatorial delay and ob-
struction Is only a matter of conjecture.
Since loans Involving large amounts have
been waiting upon silver purchase repeal,
it is probable that the latest development
at Washington will modify the bank pol-
icy of accumulating, which has been a
continuous handicap to business. If it
shall be followed up by legislation tending
to reinforce the treasury gold reserve and
notifying Europe of the Intention of this
government to maintain Its supply of gold
the gain will be still more positive. '
This week has brought forth no new de-
velopments in the iron trade. Prices have
not declined since the last report, and 'it
Is probable that more mill capacity is
active to date than at any time since the
J una shut down.
A CHINESE DIPLOMAT.
San Francisco, Cal„ Oct. 26.—Hsu Kioh
and wife and Hsu Tson Wal, his son, are
guests at the Palace hotel. Hsu Kioh ar-
rived yesterday and is en route to Wash-
ington to accept the position of secretary
to the Chinese legation. He paid a visit
to Chinatown last evening. The Chinese
there Informed him that they were badly
treated in the United Stcites, but Hsu Kioh
added. "The Chinese emperor does not
think so. He declares the Americans treat
the Chinese very well."
Hsu Kioh diplomatically refused to ex-
press any opinion on the Geary act or the
substitute which the administration is
pushing through congress.

THE SENATE PATIENTLY LISTENING
TO 8PEE0QLS.
Vanquished Silverites Ooine Down With
Boreams of Dtfiinoe—Senator
Sherman i xo'.ains.
Washington, Oct. 20.-tSpedal]-It was
known early there would be no vote on
the amendments to-day. The senators got
Into the chamber very late, and seemed
languid and indifferent. After a small
amount of routine business was transacted,
Mr. Teller took the floor and spoke for
some time, and then gave way to Mr.
Squire. Then Mr. Stewart spoke and the
day ended. On all sides It Is now admitted
that the vote will come In a short time,
but no one is willing to state exactly what
Is meant by a short time. The repeal lead-
ers thought the amendments would be taken
up to-day, but they abandoned that Idea
this morning. The guesses as to when there
will be a vote on the main question range
from Saturday next till Wednesday. No
one seems disposed to put the time further
off than the latter day. The repeal leaders
think the amendment may come up to-mor-
row, and that the main vote will come
oft Monday, but the silver men say their
speeches will require more time than that.
According to the repeal men, Mr. Jones
will speak two or three hours longer on
his main speech. He will do this to-mor-
row. Then Mr. Allen an hour and Mr. Wol-
cott wants half an hour. This would make
four or live hours, und they think this
would conclude the speaking. They, how-
ever, did not calculate properly, as they
have not allowed time for Mr. Morgun, who
says he Intends to make a speech even if
he dies on the floor while he is speaking.
He is not at all well, but he says this shall
not deter him from having one more say
against the iniquity about to be perpetrated.
Mr. Morgan may not be the only one not
Included In the estimates of the repeal
men. The dissatisfaction on the outcome
Is still deep among the vanquished, and
many of them may think It proper to go
down with a scream of deflance. There was
a great deal of talk yesterday and to-day
about Mr. Sherman's Intentions to put an
amendment on the present bill providing
for an Issuance of bonds. He is reported
this evening as declaring that he did not
contemplate doing anything of the kind.
None of the gentlemen offering amendments
really feel that any of them will pass.
Many of them are offered as a solace to
constituencies alone.
In my dispatch of Monday I said in re-
gard to the agreement to a compromise every
democratic "senator signed It except Mr.
Voorhees, to whom It was addressed, who
could not therefore sign it, Messrs. Mills,
Hill, Vilas, Caffery, Irby, McPherson and
Mitchell of Oregon. Many repeal men
signed it," etc.
By punctuations in the telegraphio trans-
mission this sentence was confused. The
gentlemen were excepted from those who
signed it.
THE SENATE PROGRAMME.
Washington, Oct. 26,-The programme of
the managers of the repeal bill In the sen-
ate Is to get to voting some time to-mor-
row on the amendments to the bill, finish
work on the amendments Saturday and
vote upon the bill Itself Monday. The
schedule of course is subject to change.
When arranged it was supposed Senator
Stewart would conclude his speech to-
night, but he did not do so, and If he
should wish to proceed to-morrow It is pos-
sible It will become necessary to change
the plans so as to defer a vote upon the
amendments until Saturday.
Mr. Jones will require only a short time
to conclude and Mr. Allen will not speak
at great length. Mr. Wolcott will make a
lifteen-minute speech, and Mr. Gorman
may also make a brief statement. There
may possibly also be a few other Bhort
speeches before the close of the debate.
Mr. Faulkner after again canvassing the
senate this evening thought It would be
possible, if they did not extend remarks
for too great a length of time, to begin vot-
ing by 3 or 4 o'clock to-morrow.
The opinion prevails In the senate that
the house will pass the bill with very little
delay when It is sent over, and senators
are hopeful of concluding the business
of the extraordinary session by the middle
of next week. Whether then there will
be a recess or an adjournment depends
upon the committee on ways and means.
There was a well defined report In circu-
lation about the capltol to-day that there
had been an effort made to have the dem-
ocratic managers in the senate postpone
voting upon the bill until after the Vir-
ginia election, upon the theory that the
passage of the bill at this time would have
the effect of Injuring the chances of the
democratic party In that state, It appears
the Virginia populists have made their
tight In this campaign almost entirely upon
the silver Issue und made such headway
as to render the democratic managers
somewhat anxious. The suggestion appears
to have received some consideration, but
when It was represented upon the other
hand that Immediate passage of the bill
would have a good effect In Massachusetts
and New York it was thought best to let
the bill take Its course. Indeed, under the
circumstances, with the bill In its present
shape, it would be almost Impossible to
check the progress, especially would It be
difficult for the repeal managers to accom-
plish that result if so disposed.
OF INTEREST IN TEXAS.
Washington, Oct. 26.—[Special.]—Senator
Mills has received from Waxahachle an
Indorsement of the stand he and the pres-
ident have taken, signed by about 130
names. He la informed only two persons
to whom the paper was handed for sig-
natures refused to sign St.
Mr. Craln was at the treasury depart-
ment to-day urging the appointment of Mr.
Atlee McCampbeil as collector at Corpus
Chrlstl.
The report Is current that within two
weeks removals and appointments will be
entered into with a vim, especially in the
matter of officers under the jurisdiction
of the treasury department.
T. W. Archer of Houston is here.
R. W. Sparks was to-day appointed post-
master at Valley Mills, vice J. F. Parker,
removed.
Texas postofllces established: Matinburg,
Camp county; Tlvoll, Refugio county.
Texas postmasters commissioned: James
J. Hutchison, Burns; James R. Darst,
Delba; Emma L. Kllgore, Walllsvllle; Si-
meon H. Harris, Matinburg; Herman J.
Landgraf, Tlvoll.
DRAFT OF THE TARIFF BILL.
Washington, Oct. 26.—It Is understood
that a rough draft of the proposed tariff
bill is now In the hands of President Cleve-
land and Secretary Carlisle for their peru-
sal. Some of the features of the bill are
radioal. The woolen schedule is the Sprin-
ger free wool bill which passed the house
last congress. Incorporated Into the bill
practically without change. There Is to be
a radical cut made in the glass schedule.
There will be a considerable enlargement
of the free list by the addition of raw ma-
terials and a heavy cut In all duties not
properly revenue duties. The idea of tariff
lor revenue only is adhered to quite aloMly,
but this application may not be made to
coal. Iron ore goes on the free list and
there Is a very considerable shaving down
of the entire Iron and steel schedule.
The tax on whiskey will be Increased not
above 20 cents, but the exact amount of In-
crease Is not decided. The increase In the
beer tax Is practically decided on.
The sub-committee hut not quite made
up Its minds on the sugar question, but 1»
practically determined not to try to get
any revenue out of augar. The purpose Is
to classify refined and unrefined sugar
closely together, but tills is mor" apt to be
done by reducing the duty on refined sugar
than by putting duty on unrefined. The
bounty will go. Either an Income tax or
an Inheritance tax will be provided for to
increase the revenues.
ON WHAT SALARIES DEPEND.
Washington, Oct. 26.—The employes and
clerks of representatives In the house aru
very much Interested over whether or not
the house will adjourn or take a recess af-
ter the sliver bill goes through. If there
should be an adjournment none of these
men would receive pay until the house met
again, but If there should lie a recess their
pay would go on Just tie same as If the
house was In session and they were on duty.
There Is another point which members seem
to take Into consideration If there is an
adjournment there is a better opportunity
for the members to insist upon the pay-
ment of mileage for the regular session.
But memberj of the. committee on appro-
priations say that they will not put In the
appropriation bill any provision for mileage
for the next regular session and the mem-
bers will have to vote it Into the appro-
priation bill themselves. The appropriation
committee will fight the mileage for the
reuular session. In order to make a sav-
ing oh house expenses the committee will
probably favor an adjournment Instead of
a recess.
TO CUT APPROPRIATIONS.
Washington, Oct. 26.—Mr Sayers of Tex-
as, chairman of the committee on appro-
priations, says that he presumes that he
will earn the title of the meanest man In
congress, because he Intends to Insist upon
rigid economy in all expenditures.
Speaking more particularly of the plan
he proposes to pursue he says he will not
Insist on cuts on appropriations where ex-
penditures are necessary. In the lighthouse
service, life saving service and In expendi-
tures for the public good, he says, appro-
priations should be ample and are actually
necessary; but in expenditures where there
Is a possibility of savlflg he Intends to ap-
ply the knife. If congress accepts the re-
commendations in the report of the Dock-
ery commission for expenditures In the de-
partments, there will be saved to the gov-
ernment in the legislative, judicial and ex-
ecutive appropriation bill at least 13,000,000.
While Sayers did not say so, It Is quite
probable that appropriations for river and
harbor improvements under the contract
system will be cut, as will also the appro-
priations for public MUdlnt's.
T. G. SHERMAN'S PLAN.
Washington, Oct. 26.—There was a little
flutter among some members of the house
when the report was circulated that in the
income tax scheme there would be Included
a provision to tax mortgages. Western
men assert that taxing mortgages would
mean that the person borrowing money
would be obliged to pay an increased
amount of interest to meet the amount
of the tax and the man lending the money
would not be injured. Inquiry among mem-
bers of the ways and means committee
developed the fact that the Impression got
abroad through the hearija which was last
week accorded to Tlfos. Q. Sherman of
New York, who advocated a tax on in-
vested wealth, including bonds, stocks,
mortgages and rents. It was apparent that
an Income tax If adopted would mean a
graduated tax on all kinds of Incomes.
ANXIOUS ABOUT NICARAGUA.
Washington, Oct. 26.-.\Ir. Doolittle, who
was before the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce yesterday advocating Ills
bill for a Joint committee of six members
of the houBe and the same number from the
senate to go to Nicaragua to investigate
everything connected with the canal, made
his argument in behalf of the great Inter-
ests of both seacoasts. He says that If the
United States does not take Bpeedy action
It will soon be found that British capital-
ists, who are now in Nicaragua, will have
made great inroads upon American Inter-
ests and secured control of all stocks possi-
ble for British holders.
DISCOURAGED T AH IFF REFORMER.
Washington, Oct. 26.—A discouraged mem-
ber of the ways and means committee says
he fears there will te no tariff bill this
congress. Difficulties the committee has
encountered make It almost impossible to
frame a bill satisfactory to all parties.
"Every person," he said, "insists that (he
interests of his district now protected shall
continue to receive protection." The same
member said bad blood on the silver bill
would have a tendpney tr> prevent the tar-
iff bill going through. Tills member spoke
only for himself. He left the impression
that he'd been hit.
LOOKING TO ADJOURNMENT.
Washington, Oct. 26-There Is a general
desire among the members of the house to
get an adjournment as soon as the silver
question is disposed of.
Mr. Catchings of Mississippi said this
morning that he did not expect the tariff
bill would be ready for consideration until
December 1, and "there's no use keeping
the members here after the silver and bank-
ruptcy bills are out of the way." It is gen-
erally believed on both sides that these
measures can be acted on In the house by
next week, so that adjournment may oom'e
November 1.
STANTON'S I'LACE.
Washington, Oct. 2li.--The removal of
Rear Admiral Stanton from his command
for saluting Rear Admiral Mellos has mor-
tified and disappointed naval officers. Gos-
sip points to the probable selection of Com-
modore Richard W. Meade as a likely suc-
cessor,
Senor Mendonlca, the iirazllian minister,
said to-dRy the action of the United Suites
In removing Stanton was entirely satisfac-
tory to his government.
CHAPLAIN HADDAWAT.
Washington, Oct. 26.-Rev. Mr. Hadda-
way, chaplain of the house of representa-
tives, died this morning. It has been sug-
gested that the house uJjourn out of re-
spect to his memory.
Mr. Cockrell of Texas waa appointed on a
committee of seven to attend the funeral
of Chaplain Haddaway, as a mark of re-
spect of the house to deceased.
THE CHINESE HERE.
Washington, Oct. 26.—The senate commit-
tee on foreign relation this morning con-
sidered the house bill amending the Geary
law. Secretary Gresham was in attend-
ance. A bill will prooabiy not be reported
before the regular session. The commit-
tee will Investigate thoroughly and give
the people of the western coast an oppor-
tunity to be heard.

infantry, and Private P. )P, Jolly, company
E, Eighteenth infantry, has been trans-
ferred to troop 10, Fifth cavalry, at Fort
Ringgold.
SENATE.
Washington, Oct. 26.—The senate resumed
Its session this morning. The repeal bill
was taken up and Mr. Teller resumed his
speech against the bill. At 2.45 Mr. Teller
without finishing his speech yielded to Mr,
Squire, who addressed the senate In advo-
cacy of his amendment to the repeal bill
of which he gave notice October 10. Mr.
Squire said that In offering the amendment
he sought to find a path for safety. Orig-
inally he had been for repeal and there he
stood now. There had been timidity about
acting on the subject of a bond Issue when
If action had been taken he believed the
present panic would have been averted.
Why, asked Mr. Squire, should not the
United States obtain J200ru00,000 or »3n0,000,000
mostly from abroad at a low rate of Inter-
est? The bringing of so much money to
this country would benefit Indirectly every
one.
Mr. Stewart then resumed his speech
against the repeal bill. Mr. Stewart was
denouncing English Influence In American
legislation In the course of his speech when
Mr. Paimer Interrupted him and said he
had listened during the debate with a feel-
ing of humiliation that he never expected
to suffer to the Imputation that we are
under the Influence of England. "I protest
this array of English influence and Emglish
power In the American senate Is humiliat-
ing to all of us. My ancestors fought
England In every war. My constituents
are not fearful of England in war or peace.
Instead of shrinking back Into a depre-
ciated currency we challenge England on
every land, In every port, on every 3«a. We
are Americans."
"I am glad the senator shows spirit,"
said Mr. Stewart. "If he had knowledge
equal to his pluck he would be a very con-
siderable man. [Laughter.] He reminds me
of the admiral who boarded a railway ear--
his courage exceeds his discretion." I Laugh-
ter.] Without concluding his speech Mr.
Stewart yielded. A recess was taken until
11 to-morrow.

is a belt of steel from three feet above
the load water line to four and a half feet
below It, extending 196 feet amidships, pro-
tecting the engines and boilers. Above this
