of Chairman Merk A. Hanna here to-

pointed by Governor Bushnell to the
senate to succeed Senator Sherman.
1t is reliably reported here that the
governor has decided to appoit Lieu
tenant Governor A. w. Jones Youngs-
town to the vancacy and that this &C
ton is in accordance with the wishes
of the Foraker leaders. The agree

tricts are concerned, he Gver saw a
candidate who was bothered by that.
He would swim it if necessary, no mat
ter how nigh it might be. However,
the people have not considered the
subject, and the whole thing should
be ventilated. But there is no necessi.
ty for the bill at this session, and he
moved to continue it. This was lost
by large vote, only thirty-fve vote
ing in favor of it.
Mr.. Winkler moved to adjourn the
debate until tomorrow. Mr.. Harvey
moved to adjourn, but this too was
lost.
Mr.. Patton ca lied for the previous
question on the whole matter and Mr..
Ilderton said that he did not think
''snap judgement" should be taken.
The Speaker said that there was no
snap judgment" in the matter, but
the question was one that must be de-
cided in the regular order, and the
chair had no discretion. Mr.. Ilder-
ton then withdrew the remark, but
insisted that further time should be
taken for consideration.
Mr.. Patton said that he had no OBJ
lection to further consideration of the
bill, but he did object to flibustering
tactics.
Several parliamentary motions were
offered but finally vote was taken on

County Treasurer's reports came up
as a special order. On a vote the
veto was sustained by vote OF 90
to 8. So in future the reports
of the County Treasurer will have to

The vote as to the disposition of GER
tain books in the State Library was
also sustained by vote of sc to 5. The
House then adjourned to 8 o'clck.
When the House reassembled at 8
o'clock Mr.. Patton's redisstricting bill
was taken up. Mr.. Patton addressed
the House on his bill. He had large
map arranged under the Speakers
desk which in blue lines gave practi-
cal demonstration of the present dis
tricts and in red the districts as he pro-
posed them. Mr.. Patton spoke for
over an hour in advocacy of his bill
and held the attention of members
throughout, for his subject is one OF
great Interest to the ueople now and
hereafter. Mr.. Patton is a clear thinker
and always expresses himself in such
a way as to make his meaning under
stood, and with the aid of the map he
was enabled to give practical demons
trations of his arguments, which evi
dently caught the attention and good
opinion of members. Mr.. Patton, in
speaking in favor of his bill, said that
he thought this the most important
measure before or to come before the
House. He said he would like 10 have
the unanimous vote of the House, be-
lieving his bill one of so much I'M.
portance to the State.
Mr.. Graham of Abbeville felt that
the bill was unnecessary. The bill is
to take effect in 1898. There is no
Congressional election between now
and that and he saw no necessity for

Mr.. Ashley's bill reducing the priv.
ilege tax on fertilizers from 25 to l

Mr.. McWhite moved to strike out
the enacting words of the bill.
Mr.. Blythe was against the bill.
He detailed the many reasons why
this tax should be retained. Clemson
only asked to be allowed to continue
to receive this tax and wanted no otn-
er appropriation. The question as to
the amount and disposition of this tax
had been settled in 1890. Before
Clemson took charge of this tax it
really amounted to nothing: 1t went
to support the farmers college. He
quoted the figures showing a large in,
crease. He made quite an earnest
argument. To take away this tax from
Clemson would throw the college
back into politics. He doubted if the
farmers paid the tax. When it was

Fled Through Dynamite Flames.

From the Denver Republican: Sara
toga (Wyo.) dispatch: Two miners in
the Axis copper mine near this place
had a narrow escape from death yes
terday. They were working at the face
of a 200-foot tunnel, and between them
and the outlet was a tin warming mag
azine containing thirteen sticks Of dy-
Mantle under which was lighted
candle. Suddenly the men noticed that
drippings from the candle had taken
fire and that the box containing dyna-
mite was ablaze. For moment the
men were paralyzed with fear. They
were afraid to run past the blazing box
of explosives and equally afraid to re-
main where they knew the gas which
would accumulate from the burning
dynamite would smother them. Finally
concluded to run and were Obliged to
cover their faces as they pushed
through the flames, which by this time
filled the tunnel. The powder did not
explode, but was entirely consumed by
the fire. 1t took several hours to clear
the tunnel Of the. gases generated by
the burned dynamite.

MUD BATHS OF NEW MEXICO.

OF the Same Chemical Composition IA
Those Of Carlsbad.
''The Hot Springs Of Mexico said
q gentleman from Las Vegas to Den
yer Republican representative, "are six
miles from Las Vegas and they are sit
uated in q basin about thirty acres in
extent surrounded on all sides by hills
rising to height Of from 800 to 400
feet, shielding the place from wind
and sand storms. The mud baths,
which arc famous for their curative ef-
fects, are to be had only in two places
in the world. here and at Carlsbad,
Germany, and it has been shown that
the mud found at the hot springs In
New Mexico and which is used in CIV
ing the baths is of the same chemical
composition as that Of Carlsbad. 1t
Is very interesting to note the forma-
ton of this mud or peat. It is formed
by the vegetation which has been
washed down from the hills probably
"a century ago and which, settling
among the rocks, has become decom-
posed and formed into a substance
which is practically carbon impreg-
mated with salts, magnesia, soda, lithia
and various other ingredients. This
peat is gathered from the rocks, dried
and put through fine sieve in order
to remove the silicates and after this
treatment it Is as soft as flour. 1t is
then taken to the mixing room, where
1t is put in large tubs and the water
from the hot springs mixed with 1t
until it is about the consistency Of
mush. The mud is now ready for use
and it is taken into the bathing room,
where the patient is placed In tub
and covered, with the exception OF his
head, and allowed to remain In the
mud for from ten to thirty-fve min
utes. The application of the mud has
an effect similar to mild poultice
and draws the impurities from the
body through the pores OF The skin.
The patient Is then removed from the
bath, placed upon a slab and submit
ted to vigorous rubbing, the chemical
composition Of the mud being such
that it can be rubbed from the body
with dry towel, leaving the flesh in
clean condition.
