The Months of Madness.Contrary to the general opinion, more

people go mad during the summermonths than in the usually gloomy anddull months of November, Decemberand January, when times are bad andthe general conditions appear more con-ducive to insanity.

President Sonde All the Correspondence. w - . to Senate.

Washington, Feb. 6. In compliancewith a resolution of inquiry, the presi-dent'has sent to the senate a copy ofthe report and all accompanying papersof Brigadier-Gener- J. C. Bates, inrelation to the negotiation of a treatyof agreement made by him

" with thesultan of Sulu, last August. In replying to the request the president says:

"The payments of money required bythe agreement will be made from therevenues of the Philippine islands, unless congress shall direct otherwise.Such payments are not for specific services, but are a part of the consideration going to the sultan, tribe or nationunder' the agreement, and they arestipulated as subject to the action ofcongress, in conformity with the prac-tice of this government from the earliesttimes in its agreements with the various Indian nations operating and governing portions of territory subject tothe sovereignty of the United States.!

General Otis in transmitting thetreaty, August 27, says: .;

"The attitude of these people hasbeen a subject of apprehension for several months, and by this agreement,believe, the apprehended pending differences are happily adjusted."

Secretary Boot, in a reply datedOctober 27, tells General Otis that

the agreemnet .is confirmed and ap-proved by the president, subject to theaction of congress, and with the understanding and reservation, which shouldbe distinctly communicated to the sultan of Sulu, that this agreement is notto be deemed in any way to authorizeor give consent of the United States tothe existence of slavery in the Suluarchipelago. 'At the same time-whe-yon communicate to the sultan theabove mentioned understanding, thepresident desires that you should makeinquiry, as to the number ; of personsheld in slavery in the archipelago, andwhat arrangement it may be practicablefor their emancipation."

In his instructions to General Bates,under this direction, General Otis says:"It is believed that the market price

of slaves in the archipelago is insigmScant, ranging from $30 to $90, Mexican, and that in some Instances own-ers will be pleased to grant freedom totheir slaves if they can escape theburden of supporting them. ,

General Otis continues to the effectthat the character of the domestic slavery existing in the archipelago differsgreatly from the former slavery institution of the United States, the slavesbecoming members of the owner'sfamily. . .. . v J . ..

General Bates, in his report, statedthat when he first asked to see the sultan, the latter sent his greetings, say-ing he could not come to the general, because he had boils on his neck, and couldnot put on his coat, but that he wouldrecognize the protection of the UnitedStates, requesting as a favor that hemight hoist his own flag alongside thatof the" United States. .The sultan'sbrother went to Jolo to meet GeneralBates, and the sultan afterwards joinedhim. ; General Bates states in this connection that the Sulus are very jealousof their institution of slavery.,-;-- -

In his original instructions to General Bates, General Otis instructed himto push to the front the question of sov- -ereigntyfand told him be eonld promisefor the United States not to interferewith,' but to protect, the Moros in thefree exercise of their religion and cus-toms, sooial and domestic, and to respect the rights and dignities of thesultan. - In return they must ' acknow-ledge the sovereignty of the UnitedStates. ". He also instructed GeneralBates that it 'was important that theUnited States should ocoupy the prin-cipal distribution centers of trade, andthat .Siassi, the. capital, should be occu-pied by our troops at no distant day.

Prove an Exception to Dullness Shownin Other lines.

Bradstreet's revievrsays:'

Exceptions to the quiet and evendullness shown by the many lines oftrade and speculation are found in theacte demand . for woolen goods ' fornext fall's delivery, and in the activecall for dry goods on spring account.In the latter direction, prices showspecial strength, and the bulk of thebusiness placed in woolens has been atan advance of 25 to 40 per cent. Inother lines, notable steadiness is shownia prices. Weather conditions throughout the country part Of the week, havebeen against trade in seasonable goods,apd there is very general complaint oflarge stocks of winter goods in thehands of this branch of trade. Anothereffect of the usually mild, weather isthat shown in the Northwestern lumber business. The lack of snow willprobably insure a reduction on the cutof last year.and this, combined - withsmaller stocks, points to at least tmaintenance of present lumber quota-tions..;.; . ;.: -

Woolen manufacturers have consti-tuted an exception to the general quiet.They opened their order books thisweek, and an unusually heavy volumeof business is reported to have been recorded. Cotton goods are reported ingood demand in nearly all markets,and the confidence as to spring businessin dry goods-an- clothing is .a notablefeature, m gTJtfp contrast, in lact.witnthe rejwrts received from retailers as tothe prssent season's business in winter-wear goods. Scarcity of water is com-plain-

of as limiting the output ofNew England cotton mills, which arereported as backward in deliveries.
