Washington. Feb. 12.-One of the most remarkable situations in the his tory of the United States legislature resulted from the refusal of the Uni- ted States senate to permit three of its members-Smoot of Utah, Bourne of Oregon and Fletcher of F1orida-to obey the summons of Justice Daniel T.

The company then sought redress in the District Supreme court, with the result that some days ago Justice Wright issued an order direct ing the six members of the committee to appear in court and show cause why a mandamus should not be issued com polling them to make an award to the

 A demonstration of the efficacy and entire harmlessness of poslam, the new skin discovery, is afforded when it is applied to the tender skin of infants who are tortured with rashes, chaf1ngs, sca1y and crusted humors and other skin aggravations. Its effect is sooth- ing, the itching stops at once, the skin heals and is quickly restored to nor mai condition.
 In the various forms of skin trou- bles in both infants and adults, pos lam produces beneficial results from the first application.

Occasional applications will quickly banish pimples, blotches and com plexion blemishes and will relieve and cure itching feet, scaly scalp, humors, etc.

SMOKING IN SOUTH
 AMERICAN CHURCHES
(F'rom the London Chronicle.)

(From the London ChrOnicle.)
 At the present day smoking is com mon in South American churches. A recent visitor to Peru records that in the church of La Merced, Lima, he noticed one of the congregation. enjoying a cigar while the service was going on, and through the open door of the sacristy he caught a glimpse of @ Bishop who was about to preach indulging in the same lux ury.
 The preacher was attired in full Episcopal robes and had tucked a handker lief under his chin to pre- vent these being seiled by ashes. ill Lima Cathedral smoking is so far re- ccgnized that a spittoon is placed in each of the stalls set a part for the chapter.

MUsKRAT NEARLY EXTINCT.
(Manchester correspondence Roches

 ter Hera1d.)
 Persons in this locality who are en- gagged in Hunting and trapping fur bearing animals for profit state that In this section at least the muskrat Is nearly extinct. Old trappers claim that until recent years this little anil nal was considered the most plenti- full of the fur bearing varieties, and nt that time the skin of a muskrat was worth from 10 cents to 20 cents each.
 Now the price is different as some trappers have sold their seasons catch for SO cents each. This high, price is what has nearly exterminat- ed this animal by causing all kinds of trappers to make speciality of the muskrat, which has been hunted 90 earnestly that there are few left t0 breed from. Many predict that for years to come the muskrat like the quail. will be difficult to find.

If the converting lines of productions and consumption in the Unfsed States continue to ap- proach each other as they have done during the past 10 years, before the middle of the decade upon which we have just entered has been reached, the last vessel loaded with the agri- cultural products of this country will have left our shores, the exporting grain elevatnrs in our 'seaboard cities will stan empty, and this great na- ton, like those of the Old World, will be looking for a place to buy the necessarfes of Hfes

the militia cannot always be counted

not venture an opinion as TO war be

say America is not prepared for war,

asked about the possibility of such a
clash. The general said the American
