CONGRESSIONAL MATTERS.
Ex-Senator Blair Wants to Find Out
Why He Was Not Received
as Minister.
The President has approved the act
relating to lite-saving appliances on
steamers plying exclusively on the lakes,
bays and sounds of the United States.
Senator Dolph has introduced a bill
providing for the survey and construc
tion of a wagon road from Gold Hill on
the Oregon and California railroad in
Jackson county, Or., to Crater Lake and
appropriating $50,000 for the purpose.
Senator Felton has introduced amend
ments to the river and harbor bill, in
creasing the appropriations for improv
ing the harbor and bay at Humboldt,
Cal., from $200,000 to $400,000, and for
Wilmington (Cal.) harbor from $20,000
to $51,000.
The Attorney-General has sent to the
Senate in reply to a resolution a list of
unappealed awards against the United
States for flowage damages caused by the
improvements in the Fox and Wisconsin
rivers. The awards aggregate $108,922,
and the Attorney-General says he knows
of no reason why they should not be
paid.
Senator Sherman the other day pre
sented the resolution recently adopted
by the New York Chamber of Com
merce reciting the importance of the
bureau of American Republics as an
agency in promoting the commercial re
lations between the United States and
the other American nations and urging
liberal appropriations to extend its use
fulness. Vessels comprising the Behring Sea
fleet during the coming sealing season
will be the Mohican, Adams, Ranger
Yorktown, the two revenue cutters Cor
win and Rush, and the fish-commission
steamer Albatross. England, it is un
derstood, will send three gunboats to
assist in police duty. The Thetis will
not be taken from the submarine cable
service work. All) the vessels are to be
under way early in May.
The Senate has passed a bill that was
passed by the House some eight weeks
ago for the better control of and to pro
mote the safety of national banks, with
amendments recommended by the Fi
nance Committee and with an amend
ment establishing stricter rules as to the
bonds of the cashiers and the other
officers. A conference on the amend
ments with the House was asked, and
Sherman, Aldrich and Harris were ap
pointed conferees on the ' part of the
Senate.
Representative Lane of Illinois from
the Committee on Military Affairs has
reported to the House a bill authorizing
the Secretary of War upon application
of a Governor of a State or Territory to
issue for the sole use of the National
Guards of such State or Territory any
3-inch muzzle-loading rifle field guns,
3.3-inch breech-loading rifle field guns,
Hotchkiss or Gatling or rapid-fire guns,
with implements or harness for the
same, which may be on hand and not
needed immediately for the service of
the regular forces. '
J. R. Dodge, statistician of the Agri-4
cultural Department, furnishes a long
statistical reply to the resolutions adopt
ed by the St. Louis Cotton Exchange,
charging the last Agricultural Depart
ment report was erroneous in its conclu
sions as to wheat and cotton. Dodge
says the "resolutions are unworthy of
the intelligence of an American commer
cial association, and why a band of spec
ulators, suffering from their own rash
ness and mad judgments, should so stul
tify themselves as to defy open facts of
production and distribution, which are
published daily by the commercial press
of two continents, is past comprehen
sion.
The Thetis will sail from San Fran
cisco soon on the work of surveying a
line for the cable between the Pacific
Coast and the Sandwich Islands. The
ThetiB goes out to complete the survey
begun by the Albatross, which was
taken off for duty in Behring Sea. She
will lay down the two lines, and is ex
pected to return to this country in the
course of the next two 'months. The
transfer from the Albatross to the The
tis has caused some delay, and those in
charge of the work expect that the com
pletion of the survey will be further de
layed by the substitution of the Thetis,
which is a much slower ship than the
Albatross.
The conferees in the Indian appropri
ation bill have agreed to insert Repre
sentative Wilson's amendment, provid
ing for the removal of the upper and
middle bands of the Spokane Indians to
Coeur d'Alene, and an appropriation of
$30,000 for carrying the agreement into
effect. The Senate struck this out, but
its conferees have agreed to the de
mands of the House. Representative
Wilson is one of the conferees, and has
been able to hold in several important
amendments, among them being one by
Senator Dolph appropriating $12,000 to
carry into effect the agreement with the
Umatilla Indians. ;
. Senator Chandler presented a memo
rial to the Senate recently from ex-Senator
Blair, asking an investigation as to
the reason of the refusal of China to re
ceive him as Minister. Blair says the
Chinese Minister several times expressed
regret at the rejection and a strong de
sire of the government to request him
to secure from his government an inter
change of friendly explanations, which
would set the matter right. Blair thinks
the investigation would disclose a de
testable conspiracy ; that the rejection
was secured through false representa
tions from the Chinese legation, during
the absence of the Minister and by other
false and dishonorable means. He says
he is in possession of facts proving the
difficulty to be a rivalry of business in
terests, the nature of which should be
ascertained by the governments, whose
friendly relations have been impaired, if
not ndangerd. ,

TO HEAD OFF WAKEFULNESS.
Here I Method Which I Said to Be
Infallible Tor Securing Sleep. '
The good old cure for sleeplessness
holds good through all changes, an easy
conscience and a healthy body. A due
portion of fatigue and quiet surround
ings may be added as also necessary to
induce refreshing sleep, and sleep which
is not refreshing is about as unsatisfac
tory as wakefulness. Nevertheless, to
people of a nervous temperament some
itrictly material rules for -courting the
balmy god with success are not to be
despised Many little things conduce to
sleeplessness, the avoidance of which
will remove that trouble.
Indigestion, cold feet, overfatigue, tea
and coffee taken in excess, excitement
generally, all tend to a restlessness of
the brain, which prevents calm sleep.
Many devices are resorted to to expel
such nervousness. The old suggestion,
made in ridicule originally, to read soma
very dry book or to have some one talk
you to sleep is really excellent in prac
tice. The dull monotony of a prosy book,
and even more the dull monotone of a
prosy talker, usually produces just the
dull impressions on the brain which are
required to induce sleep. A monotonous
train of thought often serves. .
An eminent student of brain disorders
prescribed the constant dripping of water
on a metal pan. The regular ticking of
a clock frequently sends sleepless per
sons into the desired state of brain inac
tion, though in fact all these processes
may serve to drive a very nervous per
son into a wild hysteria of wakefulness.
But an old and most curiously recom
mended physical process comes to us in
old books. "
It was announced many years ago as a
great discovery in England by a Mr.
Gardner, and most commendatory testi
monials as to its effectiveness were given
by the late Prince Albert, Sir Fowell
Buxton, Sheridan Knowles and other
eminent persons. , It was considered so
valuable that a large sum had to be paid
for it for publication by Mr. Binns in
his quaint book, now almost unknown,
entitled "The Anatomy of Sleep."
The prescription as therein printed is
as follows: The person who after going
to bed finds himself sleepless is to lie on
his right side, with his head comfortably
placed on the, pillow, having his neck
straight so that respiration may be un
impeded. Let him then close his lips
slightly and take a rather full inspira
tion, breathing through the nostrils un
less breathing through the mouth is
habitual. Having taken the full inspira
tion, the lungs are to be left to their
own action; that is, expiration is not to
bo interfered with. Attention must now
be fixed upon the respiration.
The person must imagine that he m
the breath passing from his nostrils i v
continuous stream, and at the instant
that be brings his mind to conceive this,
apart from all other ideas, consciousness '
leaves him and he falls asleep. Some
times it happens that "the method does
not at once succeed. It should then be
persevered in.: Let the person take,
thirty or forty full inspirations and pro-,
ceed as before; but he must by no means
attempt to count the respirations, for if
he does the mere counting will keep him
from sleep. '.
It is certainly to be said of this plan
that it is safe and can easily be tested.
The other prescriptions, such as a good
conscience and a well earned fatigue,
need not be set aside on account of it.

. Storks' Nests. ....
' Sparrows and wrens not unfrequently
build in the stork's huge pile of sticks, a
nest within a nest, which we rarely see,
in England. In Holland and Denmark a
common mode of inducing storks to take ,.
up their abode is to fasten a cart wheel
on the top of a tall pole erected in some
field. At the village of Lnitsedam, near
the Hague, there is one of these, which
is regularly tenanted. .
i Closer to the town, in the plantations
around the house of one of the gentry,
there is an enormous nest. It is placed
at the top of a large silver fir, the lead- '
ing shoot of which has been broken by
the wind. At Wassenaar, a village some
miles off, where immense quantities of
bulbs are grown, a pair yearly rear their
young ones on the church tower. Cham
