to ay concerning his position at the

The decision not to sign the agree

Orders were issued to General Collier

Word was at once sent to the mem
bers of the republican Legislature now
in session in London that the next ses-
sion would be held in Frankfort, and
a prompt reply was received.
The action of Governor Taylor re-
turns the gubernatorial fight to the
exact position it occupied on the day
following the Goebel assassination,
with the additional complication that
there was but one legislature and one
governor in fact, whereas there are
now two claimants for the position,
and two separate bodies. each claim

The Brazilian minister to the United

age the importation into this country
of Yerba mate or Paraguay tea, to take
the place to some extent of Chinese
tea. Yerba Mate Is a stimulant used
generally throughout South American
countries. Most Americans who visit
Southern countries become fond OF the
drink, though II seems doubtful II 1t
will ever take the place OF tea in this
country. Our consul-general at Rio
Janeiro In a report to the state de-
partment recommends its use, how
ever, as an excellent stimulant and
nerve tonic. 1T is pre-eminently a
temperance drink" he says, and the
temperance societies in the United
States could do a very useful work by
helping to popularize 1t. Yerba mate,
has all the stimulating and sustaining
qualities OF Chinese tea or OF coffee,
without the detrimental effect caused
by their constant and excessive USE

II Is very cheap. The great masses in

ever use alcoholic stimulants. Intoxi-
cation Is a rare occurrence there.
There are now, according TO the wal
departments report, l0,343, l52 Ameri-
