will take onlv u few Republicans in the
house to defcut the bill, mid unless It in
greatly modified, even its frionds do not
expect thnt it will pass.
Tim best judges of the Bituation in the
Semite say thuy iiro unable 10 determine
what the vote ia likely to he on the seat

however, that the opponents of Beating
are much more confident thun they were
a eliort time ago, while Qtiuv advocates
have begun to lose iiope. There is a
possibility of the ease being called up
some time next week, if the debate on
thu financial bill lagB. It Ib quite proba
ble that thecase will be Bottled with ouiy
n very few speeches, the legal aspects of
ttie case being well known, and the
further fact being apparent that it is
only Quay's personal pull that can over
turn former precedents.
Democratic leaders, mid especially the

ltuu Ovur By Btreet-Car.
Abtouia, Or., Jan. 27. Edgar OjwoH,
a 0-year-old boy, was run over by a
Btreet-car this afternoon, and will with
out doubt die before morning. He was
playing with another boy, and ran direct
ly in front of the car, that was moving
along slowly. Both of the boy's TegB
we're horribly mangled, and the rear
wheels ot the car stopped on his body.
A crowd noon collected and lifted the
car so that the body could be removed.
No blame is attached to the motorman,
as the passengers and several people on
the sidewalk eaw the accident and ex
onerated him from any lack of care.
London, .Ian. 28, 4 :30 a. m. The only
news issued by the war office durini! the
night was a dispatch from Lord Roberts,
dated yesterday (Saturday), stating that
the situation is unchanged, and that
General French reporte a reconnoissance
of the enemy's position Thursday, when
he found t lie Uoers strongly posted at
Pietfontein. Tho maps do not show any
such place in the region of General
French's operations, and it is probable
that Ritfontein, ten miles north ot
Colesburg, is the place alluded to.
A special dispatch from Coleeburg,
dated Wednesday. January 24, says that
Commandant Lucas Meyer's commando
surprised and surrounded a strong body
of General Methuen's infantry, killing
and wounding twenty-three and captur
ing fifteen.
The absence of news from the front is
causing public attention to turn to the
approaching opening of parliament, and
speculation as to how the government
will meet tbe attacks on it with regard
to the causes and conduct of the war, a
foretaste of which has already been given
in the speed es of John Morley and
others in the paBt week. The govern
ment's defense is perhaps foreshadowed
by the speeches made at Birmingham
last evening by Jesse Collins and J.
Austin Chamberlain.

Washington, Jan. 27. The postoffice

to fumigate mail leaving that place for
British Columbia has not as yet been

the postmaster nor health officials there
believe it necessary to disinfect the malls,
because they think the smallpox scare
to be unwarranted. The. epidemic now
in evidence there, they say, is chicken-

Decoction Foreigners Soon

An effort was successfully made i
Russia a few years ago to introduce ns
a fashionable drink the yerba mate,
South American product of the nature
of tea. Russians, being inveterate tea
drinkers, were not averse to trying
new decoction, and mate became a fa
voritc beverage, although it was even
tually served in the same Way that
tea was, the samovar being found equal
ly us-eful for it. The fancy for thi
drink is said to be spreading, owing t
uts dccided.'y soothing properties
While not so much of a narcotic as eof'
fee, it is equally stimulating and pos
sesscs a nutritive quality that is not
found in either tea or eofl'cc. To th
Jesuits who cstabliflfed in Paraguay

owing the preservation und spread of
the custom of taking mate. Before thej
arrival of the Jesuits the Indians had
been mate drinkers, but had not ciilti
vatcd the herb. The Spaniards at firs
oeiieveii me urinuing oi it to Ue a per
nicious habit, and forbade it, but when
analysis tshowed its mtdieinul proper
ties its use was sanctioned. Since then
it is seldom that a foreigner lives si:,
months in the country without becom
ing a mate lover.
-Mate is properly the name of the
bowl or cup in which the herb is taken

ordinary bowls used are dried gourds.

end. One of them is bound arcund the
uiuuiii wun snver; me tune used s
o'f silver with a perforated bu'.b at one
end. This end is inserted in the cup
after the yerba has been put in. Three
teaspoonfuls would be the allowance
for these cups, which are the size of a
good big orange, and hold perhaps half
a pint of liquid. A little cold water
"sets" tlie yerba. and then belling water
is added, just as tea is made. The first
few drawa at the tube cannot be swal
lowed, as the yerba comes up; after
that only the liquid wt'.l rise.
In serving mate the servant or who
over prepares it must take the first few
draw. The cup is then presented to
the gutst, ::nd in a party of people caoh
person is expected to partake from the
same cup and tube. This practice is ex
tremely unpleasant 10 foreigners, and
sometimes debars them from learr.J
to take mate, for lie who is a mate
drinker and refuses the "bombilla"
the tube because others have used it,
will give mortal offense.
This drink and a dry biscuit consti
tute the errtire breakfast of the Spanish
speaking world of Chili, Paraguav, Uru
guay, the Arguitine UepubJlc und a
great part of Brazil. Taken by the
peons, or laborers, at early dawn when
they start out, it is the only food they
get or cure for until the midday meal.
Some idea of its nutritive and sustain
ing qualities can thus be obtained.
