WHAT NICOTINE REALLY rs.
A CoiorI.ss Fluid That Dark

In a communication in the current
number of 1.-THE Scientific. American,
Professor John w. Mallet, of the unl-
versity Of Virginia, presents some inter-
esting facts about cigarettes. He says.
among other things: Ignorance of easily
ascertaining scientific facts is, however,
common enough, as is often illustrated
nv the brown. oily material formed in
the nicotine. though in reality this is
merely the tar produced by the action OF
heat on the woody fibre of the leaf.
nicotine when pure is a colorless fluid
of somewhat oily consistence and strong
peculiar, penetrating odor, but it darkens
on exposure to the air and light, becoming
first yellow and then brown, SO that II

AGAINST ANNEXATION.
Senator Pettigrew's Odd Geo
graphy and Logic--voIun-
teers' Votes.

WASHINGTON, July 2, 1S9S.-Fifteen
minutes passed before a quorum answer
ed today M the Senate. MI. Pettigrew
Is. d. then esumed his speech upon
the Hawaiian annexation resolutions, the
preceding parts of his speech having been
delivered ten days since.
He reiterated and elaborated his reply
to the gun that Hawaii was neses-
sary as a coaling station in Transporting
shipping, contending that unalaska and
others of the Aleutian group afforded
superb harbors and a route to Manila
eight hundred miles shorter than that by
way of Honolulu. He said had the north
ern route been taken the troops enroute
to Manila would have been heard from
at Yokohama two weeks after embarkina
and they would nave been long since in
the Philippines, whereas a full month Ind
passed without a word from them, De-
cause they had been sent hundreds OF
miles farther through tropical disease
producing seas.
Mr.. Pettigrew said annexation was not
desired by a majority of Hawaiian citi-
zens, and it would be out of accord with
the spirit of a democratic government to
annex against the will of the majority.
Mr.. Hoar e~ndeavored to secure consid-
Grafton of the bill to allow volunteer sol
diers TO vote, but Mr.. Pettus (Ala.) OBJ
jected, saying he was determined in his
opposition to it. Mr.. Hoar then gave no.
tice that he would move to AXE up the
bill at the earliest time after disposal of
the Hawaiian resolutions.

MADRID PAPERS RABID.
several Were Preaching War Before
They Knew of the Maine Dis
asfer at Havana.

Madrid. Feb. 11.-(Correspondence OF the
Associated Press.) Fierce Indignation
characterzes the Spanish papers that are
not supporters Of the government at its
alleged weakness in replying in gentle
terms to the American demand for sxplana-
tions about the Dupuy DeLome letter.
The Impartial says: at is the height
of weakness to suppose we are going to
disarm the Yankees by means of patience.
From them We shall gain nothing by it
and on the other hand we shall lose the es-
TEEN for the dignity and bravery Of Spain
obtained from the other nations. Para
phrasing the never-to-be- forgotten Spartan
words of MendeZ Nunez at Callan, Suffer
it to say Spain loves honor more without
Cuba than Cuba without honor We sacri-
feed our youth: We have sacrificed our
millions. Must we also sacrifice our ma
tional honor? Not the great Antilla. not a
hundred Antilles would be worth so great
a sacrifice
The Impartial article then proceeds to
argue that all Spains concessions would be
useless if the United States really seeks
to break Off friendly relations, adding:
IL pretext is sought it will be found,
for instance hostile demonstration against
the Spanish warships visiting American
ports. or a demand for pension for the
widow Of the dentist. Ruiz"

l. London, March 3.-The county council
elections have passed off with no notable
incident. The attempt of the Earl of Dem

those reelected were the Earl of Hard

and Sir j. Blundell Maple.
The latest returns show that the Progress
sives have elected sixty-seven of their can

will be necessary In Chelsea and the results
in the city proper. Fulham and Wadsworth
will not be declared until tomorrow. Thus
far the Progressives show net gain Of
thirteen seats. rr..
The Moderates have gained only two seats
in Central Finsbury, and this was owing to
split in the Progressive ranks.
The polling showed no marked increase
over previous elections. but the returns of

KANSAS HOG STEALING CASE.
Costs Have Already Amounted to Fiji
ty Times the Value of the
Animal stolen.

Topeka, Kas., March 3.-tSpecialD \ hog
stealing case in which the costs incurred
in its many trials aggregate fifty times the
value of the property stolen was argued
to-day in the supreme counrt. The case
came up from Harper county on appeal.
1t has been tried four times in the district
court and twice in the supreme court. In
1894, j. w. Foulk, Il farmer of kingman
county, was arrested on the charge of
stealing two hogs. Shortly before. Foulk
father was found murdered on the farm,
and suspicion pointed TO young Foulk.
Feeling against him ran high, and when
some hogs We're stolen in that community
the populace laid it on to him on general
principles and he was arrested The first
trial resulted i'll conviction. but his at
torney, Clem Fairchild. appealed the case
to the supreme court and got it reversed
The second and third trials resulted in
hung juries. A change of venue was then
taken to Harper county, where the defend
ant was convicted and sentenced to the
penitentary for a year. In the briefs
submitted Fairchild was accused of trif'-
ing with the lower court. This made him
mad. and in his argument he paid his
respects to the accusers and also to the
courts in general He said that lawyers
did not trifie with courts any more than
courts did with lawyers; that it was re-
markable how much more law an attorney
knew the day after being elected judge
than he did the day before.
