the House, has pa?ed the word alonjr the line that ho does not approve of members

cf his committee accepting the invitation cf the Panama directors to visit Nicaragua. It now lcoks as though th declination of the Influential members of the Huuse and Senate will leave the Panama promoter with but a small party, at least so far as future leprialatlve Influence is concerned. Senate ra and members view the "Junket" with suspicion. They fear it may compromise them, not only at home, but mlRht lead to many annoyances when the canal project comes up for discussion In tho next Congress. They are free to admit, however, that it i3 with regret that they decline the Invitation of the Panama people, is it would undoubtedly be a most enjoyable trip, but. havinsr political futures before them, many see lare-slzed obstructions ahead should they accept. Hence the Invita-tiona of the Panama, directors aro be Ins declined. A number cf congressmen, anions them Representative Landis. will not join tho Panama junket, but have arranged to jro on nn extended tour of Porto Rico and Cuba. The party will sail froro New York on the 2d, aboard ono of the government transport?, bound for San Juan. Corporal Elmer T. Iruitt, Company K. One-huniredind-sixty-ilrst Indiana Infan-' try. now at Edinburg, was to-day honorably discharged. Itural free delivery has been ordered established at Darlington, Montgomery, county, with one carrier. This order goes Into effect April 3, and Frank Cook is appointed carrier. The following Indianians were to-day admitted to practice before the Interior Department: William II. Bidgood and Richard A. Black, of Greenfield; John T. Alexander, cf lluntiugtor,; John S. Bender, of Plymouth; Thomas Bosworth, of Portland; Jesse iW. Burton, of Washington. M. Cambon, the French ambassador, called at the State Department to-day and served formal notice of the signature of the peace treaty at Madrid. Secretary Hay has indicated hi3 preference that M. Cambon shall act as the agent for the Spanish government in the final exchange of ratltications. This should hasten the last formalities. It was agreed that the ambassador i-hould act as the representative of the Spanish government in making the final exchanges, while Secretary ilay will represent the government of the United States. Although not customary on such occasions, it Is probable that President MeKiny will b present at the final ceremony of exchanging ratifications, which, in that case, will take place at the White House, where tho peace protocol was signed. It was said sit the Stato Department that the Spanish government requested that M. Cambon's services as its agent be accepted; the Preneh government gave its authorization and his designation was gratifying to our own government. At the conference no time was set for the exchange, as that will depend on the receipt of the papers from Idadrid. M. Cambon is to receive the Spanish draft of the treaty, bearing the ratiiication of the Queen Regent, and is also to receive the authorization to act for Spain in this exchange. This will take ten days or eo, and then the time will be fixed for the ceremony of exchange. M. Cambon left this afternoon for New York on a social visit of come days. Since 1ST0 the coal product of the United States has Increased nine times and the exports of coal have increased sixteen times. Then we supplied 17 per cent, of the world's fuel; now we supply JZ per cent. Great Britain still stands at the head of the coal producers, with an average of 1S3.0U0.OX) tons. The United States Is second with an average of i:e.ju0.0iw; Germany, 97,wM), and France 27,ux.im tons. Both the area and the quantity of coal production has increased In the United States. In 1ST0 coal was mined in only twenty States, while in 3Sy7 it was mined in thirty-two. In 1S7U Pennsylvania was the only State producing anthracite: now we get it from Rhode Island, Virginia, Colorado and New Mexico also. The most rapid increase has been In tho South. In IsTO Alabama mined but 11.0W tons of coil; in 197 5.-0M tons. Kentucky Jumped from 13v.a tons to 3.21,u) tons. Tennessee from 13:! 000 tons to 2.3u0,0u) tons and Virginia from 62.0U0 to i,S6.";.0w tons. The total product of coal in tho United States in ls70 was 3LSCJ,a tons, of which 13,t4,273 was anthracite. The total in 1M7 was 147,SGO,:0, of which 41.cr7.SG4 was anthracite. The exports of coal from the United States In 170 amounted to :27,US tons, of which 121.VJ3 was anthracite. In ISC'S the total reached 4.0S,W,, of which 1.32G.SS2 was anthracite. As the volume of the product increased the price went down. In 1570 the average price per ton for anthracite at Philadelphia was $4.X; in 1S0S it was $.30. In 170 the average price of bituminous coal at Baltimore was 51.72 a ton; in 1S3S it was J1.0).

Secretary Hay, as ex officio chairman of the executive committee, presided. Director Emory was present and explained the details of a plan for the conduct of the bureau, which, after consideration by the conference, was unanimously adopted. The general control of the bureau is lodged with an executive committee, comfosed of tho secretary of state and the dipomatic representatives of the four LatinAmerican countries, chosen in alphabetical order, a new member being selected at the end of everv year. The compact also provides that the admission of advertisements In the publications of the bureau continues to be allowed, but not the solicitation of such advertisements or of purchase of the bureau publication.-? on commissions paid to agents, unless specifically authorized by the executive committee. Commissioner Wilson, of the Internal Revenue Bureau, gave a hearing" to-day to Representative C. H. Grosvenor and Mr. John J. McCook, of New York, counsel for one or more express companies, in opposition to the theory that money orders issued by express companies should be regarded as bills pf exchange, and that agents issuing the same could properly be held to be brokers under the new war-revenue act. and. therefore, liable to annual tax of $50 each. The commissioner has held that bills of exchange and persons issuing them are subject to tho brokers' tax, but the question as to whether express money orders are bills of exchange within the meaning of the law is now under consideration. This point probably will be decided within the next few days. It was contended that if the agents of the express companies were compelled to pay the $-"0 tax imposed upon brokers the result would be that the companies would bo forced out of the moneyorder business, as the tax would aggregate several times the amount of the profit on tho business. The quartermaster's department has received a report from Santiago saying that out of more than three hundred disinterments of the remains of soldiers to be brought to this country, 26 per cent, are unknown dead.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. March IS. Mrs. Joseph D. Kelly shot her husband, Dr. Kelly, last night and he 13 expected to die. She Is in Jail, and their three children, all less than ten years old, are with neighbors at Ehrmandal?, a mining town twelve miles northeast of the city. Mrs. Kelly has said that she cannot recall anything for several hours before she did the shooting, when she heard her husband was drinking at the saloon near her home. She is a woman of refinement, and her deportment The couple had trouble before and when she learned the doctor was at the saloon she borrowed a revolver on a pretext that her husband had to make a night visit to a neighboring" mining settlement. She did not find the doctor at the saloon, but saw him and a man named Neeley in the house when she returned home. She fired once through the window without effect. Dr Kelley rushed to the door and as he opened It she fired twice, one bullet striking him near the heart. It was a C2-caliber bullet and he is nearly dead from loss of bjood. Standing at her husband's bedside a half hour later, the woman received an upbraiding from the apparently dying man, who said the sheriff would soon take her to the Jail. Later he became more reconciled to her and asked the deputy if she could not remain with him. The woman says that, some months ago, when they lived at Coal City, In Clay county, her husband, while drinking and gambling, lost considerable money and as soon as she heard that he was drinking again she felt that the same experience was in store for her and she claims she does not know what she did after brooding over her trouble for a few hours. She has been married ten years and is much younger than her husband. Dr. Kelly had been married before and came from Alexandria, The wife's home was in New Jersey.

Under the law passed by the last Legislature, State Natural Gas Supervisor J. C. Leach, of this city, is now proceeding to perform what he should have been empowered to do years ago In the way of economy and safety In the use of natural gas fuel In the Indiana gas belt. Under the new law Mr. Leach will demand a rigid personal inspection of all the lines and connections. Gas companies will be required to make a thorough house-o-housa canvass, among consumers and examine the premises for leaKs and escaping gas. The necessity for this is made manifest by the fact that fourteen people have been killed by natural gas explosions in the Indiana gas field in the past three months and more than forty injured. During the same time property amounting to a quarter of a million dollars has been destroyed. The law provides that where gas companies fail to repair leaks when notified the repairs will .be made by order of the supervisor and the expense made a lien on the companies' plants. It has the merit of safety as well as economy in the use of natural gas fuel. Supervisor Leach, who drafted the bill that became a law. believes it will be effective and accomplish the work Intended that of prolonging the life of tho gas belt. BULLDOG DETCR3IIXATIOX.

Perhaps someone will see my testimony and be led to use Dr. Pierc's Favorite Prescription and be blessed in the same way. This is my fifth child and the only one born alive; the others have died from lack of nourishment so the doctor said. I was not sickly in any way and this time I just thought I would try your Prescription.' I took nine bottles and to my surprise it carried me through and gave us as fine a little boy as ever was. Weighed ten and one-half pounds. lie is now five months old. lias never been sick a day, and is so strong that everybody who sees him wonder at him. lie is so playful and holds himself up so well. I would like to .ee this in print for so many have asked me, 'Do you think those are the testimonials of the peop'le. or has Dr. Tierce just made them up and printed thera ? ' " This is one of over two hundred and fifty thousand similar letters which prove DR. PIERCE'S FA VORITE PRESCRIPTION to be the greatest of all medicines for the cure of diseases and disorders of the organs distinctly feminine. It is the only preparation of its kind devised by a regularly graduated physician an experienced and skilled specialist in the diseases of women. It is a safe medicine in any condition of the system. It contains no whisky, alcohol, opium or .other narcotic, and therefore, does not cause a craving for stimulants.
