ESPECIAL TO THE PREsse1

Augusta, March 5.-The attendance In
the House today was not as large as
usual as it seemed that everything pend
ing passage to be engrossed, on which
there ia any difference. had been tried
out in former sessions. In fact the
cigarette bill was the only thing of this
sort and this was read and assigned by
such majority yesterday that the OPP
ponents and those disposed to play foot
ball with the bill were inclined to dis
continue their tactics.
The vote passing the resolve appropr1-
ating money for the expense Of exami-
ming pension claims was rescinded and
the resolve tabled.
The new business consisted almost
wholly of petitions for the passage OF
bills for the inspection of feed stuffs and
seeds.
Mr.. Briggs of Auburn presented bill
to repeal that part Of the dog tax law
which provides that the money collected
under this bill shall be turned over to
the state treasurer.
During the first reading of bills Mr..
Rounds of Paris moved to. table the re-
solve in favor of the Soldiers Home OF
Maine. The resolve was tabled, but Mr..
Show of Saco demanded an assignment
saying that the matter had never reached
the legislature before and its friends
didn't want it stranRled. Mr.. Rounds
refused to assign, but Mr.. Shaw got the
resolve assigned to next Thursday by
vote of the House.
Mr.. Hamilton of Biddeford had the
cigarette bill tabled pending the third
reading.

SOME OFTHE SLIP UPS.
Senatorial Courtesy Not Very Much il
Evidence at Inaugural.

Washington, March 5-The cause of
patton in any of the inaugural ceremon-
les is explained as follows: The members
of the cabinet in discussing at the cab
met meeting last Tuesday, the parts as
signed to the n in the inaugural proceed
ings found no provision in the pro.
chamber on the stand in front of the
capitol. Secretary Thurber Immediately
communicated with Senator Sherman,
chairman of the arrangements commit
tee, who replied that the head of the de-
partments had been provided for at each
stand. The programme was again con-
sutherland this was found to be true, but
1T was found that the seats were in the
rear of those of the members of the
House Of Representatives and Secretary
Olnsy declared he would not go to the
capitol at all.
All the members Of the cabinet agreed
upon this action, but when Mr.. McKin-
ley came to the White House yesterday
and started with Mr.. Cleveland, he no.
tioed that the cabinet officers were not
going TO accompany Ohe paThue, anu, on
inquiry, learned the reason.
Mr.. Sherman. who was present, imme-
diately offered to give front seats to the
secretaries on the floor Of the Senate and
Mr.. Cleyeland's advisers consented to
attend the ceremonies. None Of them,
however, went on the stand as ''heads of
departments to listen to the inaugural
but hurried off to Secretary Lamont's
house to bid Mrs. Cleveland good bye.
Secretary Olney did not get Mr.. Nc
Kinley's verbal invitation to 90 TO the
capitol because he was not at the White
House with his colleagues in the morn
lug, being detained ut the state depart
Inents all day by important matters. He
went, however, to the ball In the evening
prepared to escort Mrs. Mckinley accord
ing to the adopted programme, but this
was disarranged at the last moment by
Mrs. MoKinley's weak condition COM
pellipg her to nave other assistance.

Mexican Newspapers Demand Surrender
of Part of Territory of United states
at Cannon's Mouth If Necessary
President Diaz Alone Stands Between
Us and Licking.
st. Louis, March ga special from
Guadalajara, Mexico, say that most
warlike spirit is being aroused among
the people of Mexico by the coming of
Messrs. Bruce, Stone and Pierce of Bos-
ton to enter into negotiations with the
Mexican government for the return of
the flags captured by the Mexican
troops during the war Of 1S47. The news
papers of the republic, led by Ell National
at the City of Mexico and Ell Notioiero at
Guadalajara, are INDUCING In every in
temperate language regarding the visit
of these gentlemen.
They are denouncing America and
Americans in most inoendiary language,
going as far as to demand of the United
States, at the cannon's mouth if neces-
sary, return of all the territory taken
from Mexico. They specify California,
Colorado, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New
Mexico aud Texas as the property which
has been ''stolen from Mexico" So
strong is the sentiment against Ameri-
cans that ladies are openly insulted in
the streets and stores and if their es-
corts resent the offense they are dragged
off to Jail and fined. 1t is acknowledged
that only the iron rules OF President
Diaz prevents a collision. 1t is predict
ed that his death or resignation would
be followed by war with the United
States in six months.

At Niagara Falls,N. Y, That
Works Wonders.
what }. w. Griffiths, M, d.,
PHI d., MI. S., f, Il. $. L., Has
Discovered.

In his various publications Dr.. Griffith
alludes to tine cause of old age and rheu.
matism as brought on by excessive calca-
reous or lime deposits, carried in through
the arteries and depositing in the pores
and Joints, blocking up the blood vessels,
thus hindering nutrition.
This substance gets into the cap1ll aries
of the Joints and stops the lubricatlD G
process that keeps the joints timber;
little PARTICLES get into the cells of the
stomach, of the bladder and kidneys and
cause every form of Indigestion and
Rright's disease; and this in time brings
on excessive secretions of uric acid.
When the kidneys are healthy they ex-
pei the small amount Of uric aoid the
human ssytem generates, and all Is we'll.
But when this uric acid is not properly
expelled it finds Its way into the blood,
and is lodged with the excessive accu-
mutations of lime, mostly in the joints
This acid, as we'll as the lime, Ia ins0lu-
BILE by any of the animal fluids, and
while the amount Of uric acid the system
generates daily is infnitesimal. its
STEADY Accommodations finally bring on
the most painful and persistent rheuma-
tism. The acid is frequently lodged in
the great toe joints, when the disease is
called govt. The joints of the hands are
affected, the fingers and fentire hands
are frequentl y swelled. or pulled up.

JUDGE WALTON WOULDN'T DECIDE.
six Ballots in Disputed Lewiston Elec-
ton Case Submitted to Him.

Lewiston, March 5.-City Clerk George
H. Hale of Lewiston, went to Portland
early Friday morning to interview q
membe of the Supreme bench in regard
to six duplicated votes Of Ward Z. The
votes were wrinkled and much folded,
and they showed tho marks of the battle.
One was marked with the cross in
the square above the name of the m,yor,
as the law directs, and also with small
cross opposite the name OF the alderman.
Two others had these little crosses on
the outside of the vote, and it was claimed
by some that they were distinguish
ing" marks In the sense which tho law
defines. One vote was for the Republican
party, but had the word Republican
scratched out. This WAS In direct viola
ton of law. and yet it was apparent on
the face of it for which party the voter
| intended to vote. In fact, all Of the
votes were plain in their significance.
Mr.. Hale returned from Portland at
$50 Friday afternoon, having seen Judge
Walton at his home in Deering and
having had long talk with HIM.
Judge Walton said that he did not
wish to decide upon the validity of the
six votes. In fact he was emphatic upon
the point and said that he couldn't dis
cuss them unless they should come to
him in the course of legal procedure.
He said that for full discussion and
decision upon their validity he should
want at least full day. He said that
all there was 20 do was to seat Mr.. Hartley
according to the returns as signed by
the warden and attested by the ward
clerk, and that if any wished to contest
the seat, one of them should be the NOV
lug party as provided by law.
