TOPEKA, Kas., Feb 2.-Thc warfare
in the rival houses has been resumed
but as in the past. the fighting Is still
being done on paper though it may
yet end in trouble. just before the
rival houses adjourned last week
Speaker Dunsmore, of the populist
house. handed letter to Speaker Doug
lass, of the republican house, in which
he says the legality of the populisi
house can be questioned by no author
ity other than the house itself. and he
urges the republicans to go into the
populist house. lie then charges that
the salaries of the members Of the re.
publican house are being paid by the
railroads, who desire to prevent legis-

When the houses met Tuesday after.
noon Speaker Douglas laid Speaker
Dunsmore's letter before the republican
house, and read a long letter in reply
to it, denying Dunsmorcs allegations,
and suggesting that both sides make up
a case for the highest court at the
earliest possible moment, and set the
matter at rest.
Speaker Dunsmore said; 81 have no
reply to make to the letter of my friend.
Actions speak louder than words"
Tine republicans have been worked
up to a high pitch of excitement Tues
day night by the rumor that the popu-
lists will attempt, Wednesday, to re-
move them from Representative Hall
by force.
Zach republican has provided himself
with revolver, and says he will use it
under certain circumstances. If the
governor orders out the militia to re-
move them, they will not resist the
states authority. but if the sergeant-at-
arms of the populist house, with his
numerous deputies, attempts force, they
will offer resistance-armed resistance.
representative Seaton, of Atchison, is
also armed with a resolution. 1t pro-

at Chicago satisfactory.

The Test OF the Effect OF the treatment
at Chicago satisfactory.
TAsmNGTox, Feb. 2.-Dr d. E. Sal
mon, chief of the Bureau of Animal In
dustry of the Department of Agricul-
ture, has just returned from Chicago,
where he has concluded the expert
ments which have been in progress in
that city TO test the effect of treatment
OF lumpy jaw in cattle. Eighty-f five
cattle were slaughtered, all of which
had been affected with this disease and
siXty-eight were found to be complete
lv cured. This is even better than
the showing made when the first lot of
100 animals were killed. which showed
63 per cent. of cures. Secretary Rusk
states that this completes the test and
demonstrates the perfect success of the
XperimcntIwhich he says will prove
of incalculable benefit to the stock
growers. The secretary says that great
injustice has been done to the cattlemen
by the ilI-considered and mistaken
statements which have been made con-
corning cattle affected with this dis
ease.

WAsHISGTox, Feb 1.-The big porous
plaster Columbia stamps, although
only menth on the market, have all
ready worn out their welcome, and re-
ports from the principal post Offices Of
the country indicate a large falling off
in their demand, and a proportionate
request for the old style stamps In
quiries in New York. Philadelphia
and other large cities, more
over, indicate general con-
census Of opinion, especially on
the part of the large business houses,
that the stamps are too large, and that
where there is a quantity of correspond
ence to be mailed the amount of time
occupied in affixing them to the letters
cuts something of a figure. Another
objection is found in the fact that their
size makes it difficult to wet them in
the old-fashioned way, and anyone who
viii try the experiment of licking
dozen of them will find that the con-
tract necessitates his ''wetting his
whistle. Hence the fact that the pub
lic.are returning to the old stamp.

Two of them recovered sufficiently
Tuesday to tell the story of the Thekla's

when she left Philadelphia.
Her decks were flooded almost con-
stantly, Lighthouses and rails We're
swept away and the steering apparatus
was broken. When il was found
that there was no hope what

port, the master, mate and eight sea-

of Louisiana, was arguing a point of order in
connection with an appropriation concerning

order, which would have cut out some eleven
millions for contracted work on rivers and har

whence the making of the point of order by
Mr.. Butler had been instigated, and he looked
from Butler to Holman. Butler flushed and
said something to the effect that no gentleman
would say such a thing. Blanchard was as
cool as cucumber, while the house was breath
less, and he replied that that was not the place
