Washington. ia Cat the opening
OF the senate yeste lay discussion inn
nediately began hrding the coal sit

n. Culberson followed with a reso-
Aon providing for the removal Of the
III on anthracite coal. Mr.. Platt, Of
pecticut, objected to, immediate

~ fnding that there was no duty on
hracite coal. Mr. Vest took excep-
0n to this statement, and said that
Isl ie board of general appraisers and
e resident Roosevelt had decided that
Ealch duty is imposed Mr.. Vest also
Mntroduced a resolution on the subject.
81 Another resolution bearing on the
4lnbject of coal, introduced by Mr..
Homes, of Arkansas, recited the charge
ltof w. r. Hearst that there was an il
Illegal combination among certain rail-
H'gays to coAtrol the shipment of an

)51hey general for the evidence which it
4 WAS alleged had been secured by him.
1t caused a lively debate, in which sew
teral Republican senators vigorously re-
Scented what they thought was refec-
4 lion on the attorney general.
al The discussion continued until 2
Vo'clock, when the resolution went over,
1being displaced by the omnibus state
hood bill. Mr.. Nelson. OF Minnesota,
addressed the senate in opposition to
the bill and favored single statehood
for Oklahoma and Indian territory.
Military Bill in House.
The house resumed work yesterday
after a recess of two weeks, but with
in two hours the machinery broke
down for lack of a quorum. The bill
to create a general staff in the army
was the issue. An attempt was made
to pass it under suspension Of the
rules, which requires a two-thirds ma
jority. Although all the members of
the minority Of the military commit
tee endorsed it, opposition developed
because of the hurried manner in
which It was proposed to pass the
hnl, and the division, 1O4 to SO, devel-
6ped that it did not command the
support Of two-thirds of those pres
ent. A call Of the house followed, but
& as the roll call showed about 30 less
than quorum the house adjourned.

rae Blossoms Of the Common MILK
weed Lure Many Insects 20
Their Death.

Honey bees and insects and bugs Of
less degree find pitfalls and often
death in the beautiful blossoms Of the
millweed, otherwise known as the
Virginia swallowwort, says writer
IN Nature. II these flowers are exam
lned any sunny day one will be pretty
sure to find them decorated with q
miscellaneous assortment of strug-
Cling or dead insects with their legs
fast in the Sits Of the peculiar blos-
SONS. The pollen of this common
plant, instead Of being a powder, as
in the case Of most plants, consists Of
sticky, waxen masses hidden within
the blossom. When a visiting insect
thrusts a proboscis or leg into the
opening of such a flower some of these
masses stick TO Il and the natural
Uourse is for the insect to fly of to
another flower and fertilize this with
che adhering pollen. All insects, how
ever, are not strong enough to ex-
tract their legs from the sticky places,
and then ensues the slow torture of
hanging there until death or a help
ing hand releases them from misery.
Besides being beautiful, it could be
quite a useful plant If we cared to de-
velop its virtues. Thus it's milky juice
contains caoutchouc; brown sugar has
been made from the flowers; the silky
hairs of the seeds are serviceable in the
manufacture of textile fabrics, as cot
ton is, and a fiber of good quality for
ropemaking may be extracted from
the stalk.

ABOUT PERITYPHLITTs.
aonsthing About the malady fre@
which ths King OF EaEIana
was Rsosafly Rescued

Perityphhtis, the malady that pre-
vented the coronation Of Edward VII,
e an Inflammation Of the parta around
the beginning Of the large intestine,
occurring as q sequel Of appendicitis,
which is Inflammation Of the little
ltg-tail-like pouch attached 20 and
Dpening into this part Of the bowel.
In this country, states Youths Com
panion, surgeons generally advise an
operation for the removal Of this IN
famed and seemingly useless ap-
pendix before the disease has ulcer
ated through its wallis and excited
Inflammation Of the PartE around It.
In England, a. was shown in the case
Of the king, the practice Is usually TO
let the Inflammation 60 on until the
abscess has formed around the ap-
pendix, and then to open this abscess
and let the matter out. Instead Of in-
terfering with natures work, and TAX
ing away the inhamed part before Il
has q chance TO do any harm, they let
nature do her share by forming the
GbscesS and eating away the appendix,
and then, by a more rapid and, on the
face Of IL, less serious operation, they
remove the debris and let the abEceSs
cavity heal
This would be well enough and very
commendable II nature always worked
IN the right way, but she does not.
Sometimes she bores a hole in the
appendix too quickly, am sets up In
dammation In the general abdominal
cavity before there has been time for
che formation of the sac which is 70
limit the abscess. In such cases IL
would have been better TO perform
thS more serious operation and re-
move the appendix before It had
worked this irreparable mischief.
Appendicitis, with its consecutive
Perityphlitis, may be caused by a NUM-
Der Of conditions, such a. the lodgment
of small seed OF other insoluble body
IN the appendix; the retention and
hardening Of a little of the ordinary
intestinal contents, which then act as
an irritant as the seed acts; an ordl-
nary catarrh of the intestine extend
ing TO the lining membrane of the ap-
pendix; the poison Of typhoid fever
