THE AMERICAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

Exploring tho SUBMITS OF Chfmborazo
and Hecla.
The paper read before the American Geographic.
cal Society at the closing meeting OF this years
brilliant session promises that the dangerous ex-
pertinent OF mountain climbing is to be revived by
American travellers. Lieutenant Henry Clay
Cochrane, OF the Marine Corps, In the name OF his
friend Or. Isaac T. Coates, now in Peru, gave
graphic description OF the ascent OF the extinct
volcano the Misti (of Arequipa), by the latter.
It seems that DR.. Coates reached the
summit at an altitude Of 1880 feet with
out evincing the slightest prostration, while his
peon attendants were SO overcome by cx-
hauston, bleeding ct the ears, nose and mouth.
that they became OF no use whatever. 1t seems
that this ascent OF DR.. Coates, as being the first one
ever made has been disputed by distinguished
American traveller. who asserts that the Misti has
been frequently climbed, and once as early as 1894.
Lieutenant Cochrane replies to this statement by
showing that the Mlsti OF Mr.. Hurburt and the
Mistl Of DR.. Coates are very different mountains,
distant from each other ninety miles. However this
may be- 1t is certain that Dr. Coates has shown won.

ened by his success, he has purchased instruments

borazo (2l,50o feet high for the American Geo.

DR.. !. ]. Hayes, the Arctic explorer, will also
undertake the ascent Of Hecla for the Geographic

remains one Of the virgins Of geography. 1t has
long been quiescent, having last bazed forth with
amazing fury in 1s47, when the subterranean fires

edge OF volcanoes which, even In our own country,

PETTY PoTENrArEs IN ARKANSAS.
Senator Clayton says that with the exception
OF the Secretary Of State none OF the State
officers win recognize Baxter. The Auditor,
Treasurer, Attorney General, Superntend-
ents OF Public Instruction, Of Public Works.
State Lands and Emigration and OF the
Penitentlary will not recognize Baxter, and, as
the Supreme Court and majority OF the Circuit
Courts uphold Brooks, the solution OF the difficulty
does not appear to hum to be at hand. This he had
endeav0red to explain to the President, and
warned him that federal recognition OF Baxter
would not change the opinion Of the legally elected
State officers, and that no proclamation could
compel them to do so. It is true Baxter will have
the use OF the State troops and armed Intervention
will not be attempted by Brooks and his support
ers; but he does not see why the Brooks govern
ment cannot stAl exist in peaceable
manner. Should the State Supreme Court
issue q writ Of mandamus requiring the
Secretary OF State to recognize Brooks
1t would not be In the power OF the President to
interfere with the State judiciary, and II Johnson
refused to recognize the order OF the Court he
would certainly be subject TO punishment for con-
tempt. 1t must be evident, therefore, that Baxter
will not have an easy time.
THE NATTER SETTLED.
Judge wiltshire, who mas supported Baxter
throughout the controversy, Is confident the Pres-
dents proclamation will settle the whole matter,
and that the State officers will not be obstinate
when they know that the power Of the federal gov
eminent Is ct Baxter's back.
BROOKS OBSTINATE.
It seems to be the impression OF Brooks sup
porters here that he will not vacate the State
House voluntarily, but viii require Colonel Rose to
eject him by force.
EFFORT FOR CONGRESSIONAL INvEsTIa ALTON.
On Monday next an effort will be made in Con-
gress to have q special committee OF I'VE APP
pointed to visit Little Rock for the purpose OF
taking testimony in reference to the Arkansas
troubles. The supporters Of Brooks say they are
ready to aid this committee, ana believe their re-
port will vindicate the stand they have taken.

Liability of Druggists and Physi-
clans as Liquor Dealers.

We print below letter from the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue re-
garding the liability of certain persons
named therein, which may be of some
interest to Druggists and Physicians:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF COMM'R OF INT. REV.,
WASHINGTON, May 4, 1874.
John III. Sullivan, Esq, Collector, 23d Dis
trict, Allenheny City, Pa:
SIR reply to your letter of the 9th
ult., respecting the liability of Drug
gists to special tax as liquor dealers:
That the law imposing a special tax
upon Apothecaries as such, and ma
king limited exemption in their IA
vOr with regard to the sale of wines
and distilled spirits, in quantities not
exceeding half a pint at one time, etc.,
was repealed by the act of June IA, 1870
section /, taking effect May /, 1871.
Apothecaries and Druggists are now,
and they have been since that date,
precisely on the same footing as other
parties, with regard to the sale of
wines and distilled spirits. The law
imposes special tax upon every per-
son who sells, or offers for sale, distill-
ed spirits or wines in any quantity for
any purpose. (Act of April 10, 1863,
amended by act of June 6, 1872, sectiun
13). Every such person, even if he
sells only on the prescriptions of phys
icians, is technically liquor dealer.
(Series 6, No. 4, page %, par. 13)
A physician who prescribes distilled
spirits or wines to his patients, and re-
ceives a consideration for the same, is
liable to the tax as retail dealer.
