a mushroom which rntosIeate.,

Theinhabitants of the northeastern
part OF Asia use mushroom to pro-
mote intoxication. 1t il known as
the fly blown mushroom, and is also
very abundant in Scotland. The
fungus is gathered in the hottest part
OF the year, and is then hung up by
a string In the air TO dry. Some are
dry before gathered, and these are
stated 10 be far more narcotic than
those artiflcially preserved. Usually
the fungus Is rolled up like bolus
and taken without chewing, for IL
masticated 1t IL said to disorder the
stomach. One large or two small
fungi produce what is looked upon
as u pleasant state of intoxication for
one day. The effect is the same as
that produced on taking quantity
OF spirits or wine, except it is delayed
from enc TO two hours after tho bo-
lus has been swallowed.
AT first 1t produces very cheerful
emotions of the mind II renders some
persons exceedingly active, and is a
stimulant to muscular exertion; thus.

WASHINGTON, March Very shortly
after the senate had confirmed the cab
met appointments the resignation Of
Judge Gresham, as judge of the seventh
circuit, was filed and accepted. Soon
after this Judge Gresham took the oath
Of Office as secretary of state at the state
department. His commission, with
those of the other members of the cab.
met, had been received at the White
House from the department and were
handed to. the president, who signed
ttsn. Colonel Crook; the disbursing
Queer and notary public Of the White
House, administered the oath Of Office.
Us. Wharton afterward signed Judge
0resham's commission, and the latter
will perform a like Office today for his
associates in the cabinet.
u is probable that the seven other
cabinet officers will take the prescribed
oath at the state department this morn
Ing. The oath taking will be accom-
panied by more ceremony than has been

over the Change in the Adm inistratIon.
WASHINGTON, March 7.-The senate
was in session yesterday for only thirty
five minutes, but within that brief
period it received message from the
president submitting for confirmation
the names Of the members Of his cab
met, went into executive session, passed
upon and confirmed each of the appoint
ments, directed a notification Of its
action to be communicated to the presi-
dent, came again into open session, had
o resolution offered by Mr.. Call, Demo-
crat, Florida, in reference to railroad
lands in his state and the interference of
railroad companies with senatorial cleo
tions and had a joint resolution intro
duced by Mr.. Sherman, Republican,
Ohio, proposing an amendment to the
constitution The amendment proposed
Is TO fix the time for the beginning and
termination of the term of Office of
president and vice president and con-
gress at noon on the Both of April. The
change is to go into effect in 1897 and to
continue thereafter.
Mr.. Sherman's joint resolution was
laid on the table at his request, he
yignifying his intention to have it re-
ferred hereafter to the committee on
privileges and elections.
The senate then adjourned until
Thursday noon.
Scenes in the Senate. n..
The crowds which packed the senate
galleries and the multitude of people
That surged through the corridors and
on the staircases of the Capitol, furnish
ed evidence that many thousands of
the strangers who had come to Wash
ington to witness the inaugural cere-
monies had not yet left the city, and
were determined to enjoy as much of
the show as might still be presented.
When Vice President Stevenson made
his appearance in company with the
Rev. Mr.. Butler, chaplain of the senate
the spectators in the galleries broke into
a round of hand-clapping. This ceased
only when the prayer began and was re-
newed when the vice president, at the
close of the prayer, took his place as the
presiding officer.
