LAUGHING PLANT.

According to the Montreal Pharma-
ceutical journal for May, this plant
grows in Arabia, and derives its name
from the effects produced by eating
its seeds. THE plant is of moderate
size, with bright yellow flowers and
soft velvety seed pods, each of which
contains two or three seeds resemb-
ling small black beans. The natives
of the district where the plant grows
dry these seeds and reduce them to
powder. A small dose of this pow
der has effects similar to those arising
from the inhalation of laughing gas.
1t causes the soberest person to dance,
shout and laugh with the boisterous
excitement of a mailman, and to rush
about, cutting the most ridiculous ca
pers for nearly an hour. At the eX-
piration of this time exhaustion sets
in, and the excited person falls asleep
to wake after several hours with no
recollection of his antics"

GHOST" UPON GHOST"

The theory that an author who has
made a reputation can sell anything
he pleases, so that his signature is at
tached to it, is supported by the fol
lowing story:
Some months ago a Paris newspa-
per ordered a story of adventure from
a well known novelist. The price that
was agreed upon was one franc line.
The novelist straightway hunted up
an old man of letters-the unknown
"ghost" or collaboration of many more
famous authors-who willingly agre-
ed to write the store at the rate of
twenty-five centimes a line.
When the work had reached its Sec
ond part in the course of publication
the novelist learned that his old eli
ent was seriously i'll. fastening to
his bedside he found him dying. In
agony for the fate of his story, the
novelist rushed to the Office of the
newspaper, got hold of some back
numbers in order to pick up the cor
rect threads of the romance and
brought it to speedy end in a few
brief chapters. Then he went to the
Office with the manuscript.
whats that?" asked the editor.
"Why, the continuation and end of
my story"
sob, then you want to change it,
suppose; because you sent in the
last chapters three days ago, you
know"
Great se1f-possession on the part
of the novelist prevented disaster, and
he finally evolved this explanation:
The old man whose price was TWEEN
ty-five centimes line had himself
sublet his task to another "ghost" at
ten centimes, and thus the work had
been finished in good time.

self tonight practically without DEFINITE or
trustworthy information as TO the plans ana
movements Of the American men-of-war en-
gagged in operations in West Indian waters. IL
is known in a general way that Admiral Samp-
sons squadron. which is seeking an encounter
with the Spanish vessels reported two days ago
off Curacao Island, has moved southwest from
Cape Haytep through the Windward Passage
and Is now somewhere In the vicinity or Jae

At the Navy Department the statement

So stringent has the official censorship OK

was caused here by the arrival to-day Of the
military commandant OF the Isle OF Tortuga. off
the northwest coast OF Hayti and due north of

tlan War Department Of what is believed to
have been naval engagement on Sunday. The
commandant reached Port de Paix from the
Isle Of Tortuga IN n canoe. He reported TO the
War OfIice that throughout the whole Of Sun
day a persistent cannonading had been heard
east Of the island. and that from its duration
and intensity there a strong presumption
that a serious action was in progress. A thick
fog al the time made 1t impossible to distinguish
any vessel that might be engaged.

AUTHORIZED. HE SAYS
tpY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIBUXE.l
Washington, May 1.-THE War Department
was treated to sensation to-day through the
publication OF an iINerview In number OF
papers attributing to General Wesley Merritt
utterances which were construed as insubordi-
nate. Considerable astonishment mani
tested that General Merritt. however great the
provocation. should publish his dissatisfaction
with the troops assigned to him for the Philip
pine expedition, and officers who knew him ex-
pressed confidence that he had been placed In
an unfortunate position. perhaps through the
| indscretion of some personal friend. or through
the loose use Of language by reporters under
taking to reproduce from memory his Ideas In
their own words.
! General Merritts simple statement that he
did not care to go to the Philippines with an In
| adequate force OF raw recruits was. however,
| indorsed by every officer on duty In Washing
| ton who agreed fully with him that a prepon-
derance OF trained men was absolutely essential
! to the duty expected of the military force or
dered 10 reinforce Admiral Dewey. They had no
! hesitation in saying that no one knew better
than General Merritt. who has the reputation OF
being one Of the best frontier fighters in the
service the disastrous results which on fire.
! quent occasions have followed the dispatch OF a
| few regulars to hunt down twice as many ind-
ians. But there apologsts for the
grave breach of discipline that was involved In
the criticism as published in one or two Of the
newspapers
The matter promptly came to the attention of
the President, who decided to take no definite
action until General Merritt had had an oppor-
tunity TO rise To a question OF personal privi-
lege" and declare whether he had been correctly
quoted 1t is understood that OF General
Merritts friends telegraphed TO him privately
that the interview had caused annoyance here
as tending to embarrass the Government and
soon after noon Secretary Alger received the
following telegram from the General:

Under these circumstances II Is Impossible FOR
the War Department 10 take any further steps
In the affair General Merritt has. however,
been directed to come TO Washington for con
sultation with the President and to receive his
final orders. II is the prevailing impression here
that he will get four five regiments OF Regu-
lars for duty in he Philippines. and that instead
OF some Of the Pacific Coast volunteers assigned
to the expedition better equipped and trained
National Guardsmen from the country east OF
the Rockies will be assigned to his command.
