\V-
field, the young reporter on the Brooklyn
Citizen who was so suddenly stricken with
blindness on Thursday, recovered his sight .
as suddenly and in as remarkable a man-
ner ashe had lost it. When he went to the
Eye anEar infirmary, in Livingston street,
Brooklyn, immediately after he found that
he could not see he told the five physicians
who examined his eyes that he had been
standing on a street corner and that he
thought the fiashofa trolley car wire had
aflccted his optic nerves. - '
The physicians. eXamined his eyes with
every instrument that optical science has
invented for that purpose, but found not
the slightestf'defect. ,- With the single ex-
ception of drooping eyelids, which might
have been caused by lack of sleep, his eyes
seemed to bep‘erfect. . ~
' Dr. Joseph ,M. Raub of 295 Clinton street,
who had made a mast searching examips—
tion of the. young- man’s eyes, devoted a
great deal of thought to the case during
the next 48 hours and finally made up his
mind. He determined to try an experi-
ment, and the more he the ht the matter
over the more conv ced e'became that
the experiment woul be successful.
‘ The Experiment.
Young Caulfield, accompanied by his
father and a brother reporter, went to the .
Eye and Ear infirmary at 8 o’clock yester-
day afternoon. The young man had to be
guided up the steps and into' the waiting
room. Dr. Raub appeared, smiling cheer-
fully, and led the way into a r' m that
was as dark as the black hole of Calcutta.
hting a lamp that stood on a table, he
le young Caulfield to a chair and asked
him to hold his head up.
“Now,"lotik at this glass,” he said, hold-
ing up a small ophthalmoscope.
The young man raised his head and
stared in the direction of the glass for sev‘
eral seconds. . ~
“I don’t know whether I’m looking at it
or not,” he said. “I can’t see it."
Dr. Raub held the .glass in such a man-
ner that a powerful ray of light struck the
young man’s eyeball. .
“Now look again," he said coaxingly.
“I’m sure you must be able to see it.”
Young Caulfield rose from his chair and
stared intently at the flashing instrument.
f‘No, no, I can’t see it. It’s no, use.”
“Now, young man,” said the physician
very earnestly, “don’t tell me that. I’m
sure you can see it. Just give a strong,
honest look at the glass and you will be
convinced of it.” ’ p -
His Sight Restored.
The young man stared with all the in-
tensity'of’ a blind man who has a glimmer
of hope that light is within his reach. His
face became red, and the veins of his fore-
head stood out, like cords. After trying in
vain for several moments he pressed his
hand to his forehead and said in a despair-
ing voice: ;
“No, doctor, I can’t see anything.” ,
“Now, look here, young, man," the phy-
sician said sternly, "you can see. I know
it. I ‘ haven’t the slightest doubt of it.
Don’t tell me again that you cannot.”
After staring with great intensity at the
ophtha‘lmo’scopefor a few minutes longer,
with the ray'ef light striking first one or
his eyes, then the other, the young man’s
face became red, and suddenly pressing his
hands to his eyes he cried: -
«f‘I can see. I can see the light now. Oh,
how my eyes hurt!”
Dr.‘Rau-b sprang forward and held the
man fast. ,
“It's-all right, doctor,” he said in a faint
voice. “I won’t fall. Oh, what agony I’m
suffering!” '
“It’s all right, my boy,” said the physi-
v-cian in a" kind voice. “It’ll go away in a
'gfew minutes.” ' 1
. Caulfield sat down and remained per—
pectly 'quiet for several minutes.
- "‘How are you feeling new?”
“Better, doctor. I guess I’m all right.”
.1 “How many fingers am I holding up
now?" . "
, ,“TWo, doctor. I can see them perfectly.”
‘ - “Right you are, my boy. N ow you can
go home perfectly recovered. But if I
‘ vwere you I’d remain quiet in the house for
a few days.” ' . . _
_ ' The Explanation.
Cmulfield was ableto walk out of the in-
. firmary without assistance, and save for a
thin haze that seemed to intervene between
his eyes and eVeryebject he looked at and
made the object appear slightly blurred
he could see perfectly.
'Dr. Raub explained the seeming miracle
to, a reporter lastvnight:
, . “It’s as simple'jas walking down stairs,”
beach]. “The ydung man was merely suf-
. fering from hysterical blindness—hyster-
ical amblyopia, we call it——and there was
nothing at all the matter with his eyes.
He had simply lost control of his will.
“Through some sudden derangement of
a nerve center? the involuntary muscles
had lost control jof his optic nerve. ’ The
entire system of the eye frovn the lid to the
brain was normal, but the impression
which reached the brain war not recorded
I . there. -._-’-'.
"All that is necessary to eifect a cure in
.. - such a Case isto restore to the patient his
- will pOWer.- The moment thatI had con-
.vinced the young man that he could see
; he at once agreed with me and promptly
: saw. It is a species of hypnotism, but is
perfectly simple.
“Cases of hysterical blindness are rather
rare, particularly in men. Women are
sometimes afflicted with it, owing to
their greater susceptibility to hysteria in
every form. I have never, however, cOme
across a, case as severe as this.”

bined Old World on Commercial
Questions.—To Meet the Czar
and-Francis Joseph.
, LONDON, March 26.-——Emperor \Villiam’s
high flying intentions do not stop at the
success achieved by the Russo-German
commercial treaty. He recognizes that tho
unbounded I'esourCes of America consti-
tute a standing menace to European trade
and industry, and, although he has the
greatest sympathy for America and Amer-p
loans, ,the emperor is also awake to the,
danger of the repetition of such a blow as,
that inflicted by the McKinley policy.
His idea is that Europe mustbe prepared
to take a common stand against any com-
mercial measure which directs itself not
against any individual nation in Europe,
but against all Europe. The Well known
ambition of the emperor to bring about
friendly relations between European na-
_tions showod itself years ago by the calling
of the international congress in the inter-
est of the better protection of workmen.
His many travels enabled him to look upon
such matters with an eye which does not
halt at the borders of Germany.
The movement spoken of, though still in
embryo, may be expected when events
necessitate it. This is now held to be the
idea underlying Chancellor von Csprivi’s
speeches.
The Miquel Intrigue.
The so _called Miqucl intrigue ’is still
canvassed in the Conservative press, where
the doctor’s prospects and fitness for the
chancellorship are openly discussed. The
intrigue is fomented by disappointed place
hunters, and from the fact alone that Dr.
Miguel has utterly failed to gain the sup-
port of the Center party, which has many
grievances against him and which dis-
trusts the effect which his promotion might
have on Germany’s prestige abroad, there
is no need to fear that Chancellor von
Caprivi’s position i’sfin the least shaken;
The frequency with which Em peror \Vil-
liam has suddenly and unexpectedly called
the garrison of Berlin under arms has gen-
erall been regarded as evidence of mere
capr co upon his part, but it is now becom-
ing generally accepted as being part of a
well defined scheme of ”the emperor to
overawe the lawless classes, such as the
socialists and anarchists and other dis-
satisfied elements of‘the population.
The Hamburg .Nachrichten maintains
the accuracy of the statement already offi-
cially denied that arrangements are being
made for a summer or autumn meeting
between Emperor W’illiam and the czar,
and in spite of the official denial the meet—
ing of the two emperors is generally re-
garded as probable.
Since the conclusion of the Russo-Ger—
mancommercial treaty Count von Euleu—
berg-has returned to his duties as Prussian
minister at Munich after a sojourn in Ber-
lin, which led to the report that he had
been summoned to attend the emperor on
t c latter’s visit to Abbazia. It is now
learned'that the count’s visit to Berlin was
connected with his impending appoint-
ment to succeed Prince Reuss as German
ambassador at Vienna, the most important
post in the diplomatic service of Germany.
Count von Eulenberg is a brother of the
Prussian premier and seems likely to prove
a successful embassador. . Dr. Thiellmarm,
the negotiator of the Russo-German com-
mercial treaty, will succeed Count von
Eulenberg as Prussian minister at Mu—
nich.
To 'Mect Francis loseph.
The Cologne Gazette says that it is an-
thorized to state that Herr Benuigsen,
leader of the National Liberals, docs not
intend to retire frOm active political work
upon completing his seventieth year.
The very representative suite which Em—
peror William has taken with him to Al)—
bazia seems to indicate that he anticipates
that very important political matters may
arise fduring his sojourn at the seaside.
The suite includes the headquarters com-
mandant, the military and naval sccrc-
taries, a high Official of the foreign office
and a physician, Dr. Leuthold. Emperor
William is not expected to return from
Abbazia until toward the end of April,
when he will reside at the new palace at
Potsdam. The empress and the imperial
children, after leaving Abbazia, will pro-
ceed to the charming palace of W'ilhelm-
shohe, near Cassel, and from there the im-
perial family will proceed to the island of
Rugen, in the Baltic, in order to enjoy sea
bathing. ' ‘
Emperor Francis Joseph will arrive at
Abbazia this week and will accompany
Emperor William upon several of the late
ter’s contemplated sea trips. Emperor
William will meet Emperor Francis Joseph
on board the yacht Christobel at Flume.

The unanimous o inion of the court was
adverseto the actiog of the governor in all
things except that the court recognized
his right to remove and appoint members
of the board. It was declared that hispow-
er ended there, and that he could not in;
duct his appointees int’o oflice.~and his em-
ployment of the militia for this purpose
was greatly in error and unauthorized by
law. ‘
A subcommittee of the committee oi
safety, headed by J. F. Vail, Waited upo
the governor in the evening and discussed
the situation with him quite fully. Neither
the-governor nor the committee would di‘
vulge the results of the interview, but it is
known that the committee strongly ad-
vised the governor to abide by‘the deci-
'sion, warning that another resort to arms
would not be tolerated. They assured him
that Commissioners Orr and Martin W01 ld'
not attempt to delay a decision by t e
courts in a suit brought to decide who are
entitled to the offices.
The governor would not promise that he
would not again attempt to'forcibly sea
the new commissioners, but told the‘coni=
mittee he would carefully consider their
suggestions. The governor declined to say
anything for publication. His chief coun.
sel, Platt Rogers, said proceedings would
now be brought in court to compel Orr
and Martin to show by what right they
held office in the fire and police board.
The committee of safety is in effect a
vigilance committee, whose business it
will be to attend to anyindividual or-fac-
tion responsible for any riotous proceed-
ings calculated to bring disgrace upon the
state. ‘ ’
