A prominent member of the house not
on the ways and means committee, but
whose position gives his expression much
weight. discussing the probable action of
the committee, said: ”Why shouldn’t a
small duty be laid on sugar? It would pro-
vide fifteen or twenty millions of additional
revenue without seriously affecting the
great body of consumers, and would
enable the sugar planters of Louisiana,
for whom I have much sympathy, to con-
tinue in business. Two or three items of
that kind in the bill would go far toward
solving the question of covering the defi-
ciency in the revenues. I have no author-
ity to speak for anyone in the matter, but
I believe this will be done.”
Representative Wilson declined to set a,
date for the introduction of the ,bill, but
intimated that, in his opinion. it would not
be ready by Nov. 1. A month later is be-
lieved to be near the time when it may be

upon by the committee as the date for
putting the law into effect. The commit-
situation. It is admitted that in some
way at least $60,000,000 of additional~
annual revenue must be provided to meet
the ordinary current expenses of the gov-
ernment, and unless the sinking fund law
is suspended or repealed, the deficit will
amount to over $100,000,000. How this
is to be done is the question the committee
must answer by its work.
THE REPUBLIC SAFE.
The Brazilian Minister Says Their Form
of Government Will Remain.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 25.——When Secretary
Gresham returns to lVashington it is
probable that full and reliable information
regarding the revolution in Brazil will be
given to the public. Minister Mondonca,
who returned to Washington several days
ago, intends to have a conference with
the secretary immediately on his arrival.
The minister said that he was fully in-
formed upon the situation at Rio, being in
daily receipt of cablegrmns from his col-
leagues in London, who were in direct
communication with the omcials of the
home government. He persistently res
trains from imparting any informationto
the public, however, until he has had a
conference with Secretary Gresham.
While he is at liberty to make known his
private information on the affairs of Bra-
zil, he believes it would be impolitic to do
so, as the information is intended to be
conveyed to the government of the United
States. He said that the report sent out
from London that a new form of govern-
ment would be established in Brazil was
not warranted by facts in his possession.
“I wish you would state in the most cm-
phatic language,” said the minister, “that
whatever may be the result of the present
rouble, there is one thing certain, that
Brazil will remain a republic and her in-
stitutions will not suffer.”

Bismarck Hesitates to Make
Up With the Emperor.
PUBLIC OPINION WITH WILLIAM
Sympathy With the Ear-Chancellor Gives
l'laco tn Mild Resentment—The Young:
Kaiser Now Seems to Have the Best of
the Old Quarrel.
(Copyright, 1903, by the United Press.)
BERLIN, bop. 25.—The arrival of Count
Herbert Bismarck and Count Rantzau.
his bi'other-in‘law, in Kissingen is not ex-
pcct: d to help much in bringing the em-
peror and Prince Bismarck together.
Many hope, however, that stronger influ-
ences will prevail and the reconciliation
will soon be accomplished. Emperor Franz
Joseph and the king of Saxony have sent
to Kissingen sympathetic inquiries after
the ex—chancellor’s health and have sug~
gested the desirability that Prince Bis-
marck make the next advances. The
grand duke of Baden and the king of W ur-
temberg are working with energy to the
same end. Still Bismarck holds back,
seemingly reluctant to answer the emper-
or’s advances before extorting such homage
as no sovereign has ever paid a subject.
Telegrams from Kissingen represent him
as irritatediand su’spieious. He is said to
regard the attentions now bestovved on
him by crowned heads as too ostentatious.
They are suggestive, he thinks, of a plan
to extinguish him entirely as a political
factor. He is recovering his strength
quite rapidly now and is sensitive about
. ,being treated as an honored memory. He
. 'means to reassert himself as a powerful
element‘in German politics. This is the}
: sentiment on which bleach and son-in-law,
_with Others of their circle, rely ’to keep
him on the old linexof opposition to the
government. It will bitterly disappoint the
whole country, regardless of party, if they
succeed‘and the emperor’s Overturcs be re-
jected. The newspapers of all political
tendencies praise the emperor for 'having
taken the initiative and agree in hoping
that the prince will not deny the nation the
pleasure of witnessing the end of the feud
between Berlin and Friedrichsruh.
According to the late dispatches from
Kissingen the text of Bismarck’s reply to
thp emperor’s message remains unpub-
lished. Its general tenor is believed to in-
dicate that the elfOrts to reconcile the two '
men will be futile.
BRUTAL BIURDER.
An Aged Couple Killed and Their House
Set on lire.
NEWTON, Pa, Sep. 25.—An inoffensive
old couple, Samuel Rightly, aged 84, and
his wife, two years younger, who lived
alone on their farm in Northampton town-
ship, near this place, were foully murdered
some time Saturday night. The perpe-
trator of the deed afterward set fire to the
house to cover up his crime. Early yes-
terday morning a neighbor discovered that
the house of the Rightlys was on fire. -
With the assistance of other neighbors be
extinguished the flames. The charred re-
mains of the aged couple ware found lying
on a bed in a room on the first floor. Mr.
Rightly’s skull had been fractured by a
hatchet or axe and Mrs. Rightly’s head and
face were cut in several places. Nothing
is known as to the motive for the murder,
as the old people were known to be in in-
digent circumstances.
GETTING TOGETHER.
Prospects of an Agreement Between
Manufacturers and the Amalgamated.
Imssunc, Sep. 25.—The difficulties in
the iron and steel trades between the manu-
facturers and the amalgamated asssocia-
tion, on account of the toms of the scale,
will, in all probability, be. cleared away
without the loss of further time. A con-
ference will be held between the com—
mittee of the amalgamated association
that is expected to bring the trouble to an
end. The action of the Workers in voting
against calling their conference committee
together to meet the manufacturers has
been reconsidered.
Anarchistic Plotters.
VIENNA, Sep. 25,—The 68 members of a
secret society in Bruenn were arrested yes-
terday. Information against them was
secured several days ago and conclusive
proof that they were implicated in anarch-
ist plots is said to have been obtained
when the arrests of fourteen anarchists
were made recently. In the club house
of the Bruenn prisoners the police seized a
printing press and a great mass of sedi-
tious literature. The renewed activity of
the anarchists is in sympathy with the
squrage agitation now in progress through
out the empire.

WHAT BRECKINBIDGE SAYS.
A Denial in General of All the Char-gel
Made by Miss Pollard.
WASHINGTON, Sep. 25.-—In the case of
V Madeline V." Pollard against William C.
, P. Breckinrldge for $50,000 for breach of
romise of marriage, etc. , in which a few
days ago the demurrer was overruled with
. leave to plead in three days, the defendant,
by his counsel, Ench Totten and P. B.
Thompson, jr., has filed elaborate pleas in
answer to the suit.
He says that in the spring of 1884, the
defendant being on the train from Lexing-
ton to Frankfort, was accosted by a young
woman between Wood 22 years of age,
who introduced herself to him as Miss
Madeline Breckinridge' Pollard, saying
that her father was such an admirer of
John C. Breckinridge that he named her
after ,the said Breckinridgey that subse-
quently the defendant received a letter
from the plaintiff saying that she"’ws.s in
great distress and desiring his legal ad-
vice, and asking him to see her at Wes-p
leyan college, in Cincinnati, which the de-
fen ant answered was inconvenient, upOn
which she notified him that the matter
about which she was distressed was an en-
gagement to marry, which had assumed a
condition worse than a divorce suit. and
reiterating her request to see him personally;
that the defendant did see the plaintiff at
said college, and she gave him a full re-
cital of her relations with one James C.
Rodes, and thereupon the defendant ad-
vised her to consummate the contract be-
tween her and said Rodes by, marriage;
and subsequently, after a full conversa-
tion with said Rodes, the defendant re-
newed his advice.
The defendant denies that he took advan-
tage‘ of the youth and inexperience of the
plaintiff or made any promise of marriage
to her. - ,3.

has developed considerable antagonism
among the faculty ' and trustees to

' A NARCO‘I’ICIN'INDIA THAT HAS PE- '
CULIAR EFFECTS.
The Use of u Vegetable Among a Savage
African People Transformed Their Na.-
tures—Easheesh Makes Some People
Peaceful and Others. Drunk. '
Alcohol, opium and cocaine are the
cause of endless woe to humanity.
What if something could be found
which could be substituted for these
poisons and at the same time have'a
pleasing and beneficial influence on
man, and instead of makin‘ him wild
would quiet him as did the "yrs of 0r-
pheus? The African traveler, -Wiss-
:mann, describes in detail the cultivao
tioncaud use of the "riambo” me the
former cannibal inhabitants of Lu uku,
by which their customs and manners
were made so mild that it‘was even for-
bidden by them to shed the blood of an-
imals. This people, who before had
been aggressive leaders in wars, are now
living in peace. Villages which hereto-
forehad been engaged in bites”: fender
became friendly. Laws and customs of
the most peaceful kind were introduced,
with the result that the country into
which strangers had never before ven-
tured was open to all. _
This peaceful disposition, as also this
antagonism to the shedding of the blood
of animals, points to a characteristic fea-
ture of an old oriental people. These
are the Indians. The same herb which
made the cannibals of Ijubuku the
friends of men, and which they call
"‘bashilange,” has been knownio the In- ,
dians for centuries as an’intoxicant. It
is the Indian hemp. In the east the in-
toxicant extract is made out of 'tho bloa-
soms and out of the whole plant.“ Gen-
erally it is called “hashees .” which sig-
nifies merely hemp. It is chewed like
tobacco, or smoked as such, or the-juice,
called “damamesk,” is used with sugar
and almonds or whisky.
. . In moderate amounts the Indian hemp
and its preparations have a. mild effect
on the nervous system and produce a
pleasant state of feeling, at any rate
among the orientals. Larger quantities
produce intoxication. In the east the
number of those'who use-the hasheesh is
computed at between 200,000,000 and
300,000,000. Physicians are not'all agreed
as to the effect of the drug, some claim-
ing that it produces nausea, heart beat-
ing, dryness in the throat. When fully
eflicient,it produces the feeling of pleased.
intoxication and the most agreeable and
pleasurable thoughts. Thereupon fol-'
lows sleep, deep and dreamless, and on
the following morning the pleasant vis-
ions are still real and present. That
opium or alcohol eventually destroys
those who use it to excess goes without
saying. On the other hand, the effect of
. the hemp chewing on the negro is wen-
derfully quieting.
Wissmann mentions several African
people among whom hemp smoking has
been firmly introduced as a habit, espe-
cially the Waniamesi. He says he is
convinced that the effect of this hemp on
the negro is to make him milder and
more gentle and to make him more ac-
cessible to the influences of civilization,
although it does have to a certain exteni
an evil influence on the body, which in-
fluence, however, is generally exagger-
ated. Most remarkable is the manner
in which a “judgment of God” is secured
by the hemp smokers. Those that are
accused continue the smoking of hemp
until the guilty one is compelled to make
a confession. On the other hand, the
thieves of India use this hemp for the
purpose of pursuing their work. They
secretly make a hole in the house and
fill it with fumes of hemp smoke. This
has its eflect on the people of the house.
and when the thieves enter they find-
them in the most agreeable humor, in-
capable of understanding what is going
on and even welcoming the marauders
with the most pleasant words and ges-
tures. These statements are from the
travels of You Bibra.
Then the hasheesh smokers frequently
get into a. state much resembling hyp-
notism. in which it is possible to place
the members of the body in any'posi-
tion and to treat the be ' as though it
were all made of joints. he similarity
between hypnotism and the effects of
hasheesh smoking is so great that Dr. von
Schrenk-Notzig of Munich made special
investigation of'this subject. It .is well
known that when a person is hypnotized
a single word or threatening action suf-
fices to throw the subject into spasms of
rage. The authority just mentioned has
discovered that in a similar way a per-
son under the influence of Ahasheesh can
be afiected. He even discovered that
persons who do not submit to ordinary
hypnotism can be put into this state
through the chewing or smoking of hash-
eesh. The faculty most influenced by this
narcotic is the imagination. The-humor.

beautiful and fantastic-forms. Hearing ,
is made finer. and the finest strains
