OFFICE OF THE TENEBRAE.
Interesting Services In tho Catholic
Churches.

The Office Of the tenebr@, which began
Wednesday night in the Catholic churches
and is sung for three nights, is a solemn
and impressive service. The various
churches were filled to overlooking with
people. AT the beginning OF the Office thir-
teen lighted candles are placed on the can
delabrum, and at the end of each psalm one
lie put out TIL only a single candle Is left
lighted at the top OF the triangle. During
the singing of the benedictus the candles on
the high altar ave put out, while at the
antiphon after the benedictus the single
candle left lighted is hidden In the epistle
corner Of the altar, to be brought
out again at the end Of the office.
Tho extinction of lights figures the
growing darkness Of the time when Christ,
the light Of the world, was taken. The last
candle is hidden, not extlnguished, TO slg-
nifty that death could not have dominion
over Christ. The clapping or noisemade at
the end OF the Office symbolizes the con-
fusion consequent on Chriet's death. The
chants comprise the lamentations Of Jere-
miah and the canticle of Zachary, "Blessed
be the Lord God OF Israeli The office Is
sung by the clergy, assieted by a male choir.
The crowds at the different churches yes
terday beheld the glory OF the repository,
bedecked with myriads Of flowers and cam
dies. To-day the churches will be draped
In mourning, and In many OF the churches
lay figure OF Christ In the tomb will be
exhibited. The tenebr@ will be sung to-
nightfor the last time.

REASONS ron REFLECTION.
Injunction OF Secrecy Removed From
the senato's Action Upon the WISE
CooIbaugh Cnse.


Injunction Of Secrecy Removed From
the senato's Action Upon the WISE
CooIbaugh Case.
The Senate has removed the injunction Of
secrecy from the report in the case OF
George Wise, nominated 10 be postmaster
at Hamburg, Iowa. Wise brought charges
OF partisanship and inefllciency against
Coolbaugh, the incumbent, and the COM
mlttee having received the papers in the
case, gave Coolbaugh an opportunity to re-
ply The report enbodles all the papers In
the case, and concludes ne follows:
It was fortunate for the suspended officer
that his case REQ ehed tho committee before the
me nSperupdr which suspensions MS are based
In It's possession for inspection. The papersin
this case were. communicated 70 the commit.
tee by the Postmaster General. This enabled
of the nature Of the charges lodged against
him, and afford him an opportunity correspond
to the same. The effectiveness Of the sus..
pended officers response to the charges aud
| specifications presented to the President and
Postmaster General will not be questioned by
any impartial mind. He did not rest his de-
| tense on his own personal denial, nor qualify
| It's force by the introduction OF counter
| charges against his anetiser. He went directly
| 70 the parties upon whose alleged grievances
| the person nominated to tho Senate as his sue
| cessor had based discharges. and tho result OF
| his action is kiven In the letters Of the said
| parties hereinbefore set out. These letters he
| forwarded 10 the committee In support Of his
| specific answers 70 the charges and specifics
| tons upon which he was suspended. These
are autograph letters Of the parties. and dis
| close the TACT thai the said charges and speci-
| ficattons have no foundation OF truth upon
| which to rest.
In view Of the foregoing state Of facts the
| committee can but conclude that George Wise,
the person nominated by the President, Ia not
entitled TO further consideration by, tho Senate.
/ For the Senate 10 advise and consent TO his ap-
| polntment by the President, would. but en.
| courage the presentation OF uufounded charges
| against public officers. The practices Is bad
| enough when the Office is sought by person
| not party TO the formulation aud presentation
| OF the false charges. IL Is much worse when
the applicant for the office is also the accuser,
| as In the present case.
The nomination OF George Wise TO be
postmaster at Hamburg, Iowa, vice IL. @.
Coolbapgh, suspended, is herewith reported
TO the Senate, with accommodation that
the nomination be not confirmed.

Senator Morgan from the committee on for
eign relations, reported to the Senate bill to
indemnify the Chinese for the losses and dam
ages inflicted upon them by the rioters at ROCK

coed three officers Of the United States to In

eminent Of China. They are required TO report
the estimate of the damages sustained by each
person, and submit the testimony to the SEQ
rotary Of State within six months, which time
may be extended six months by the order of
the President, and the same shall BIO examined
by the Secretary of State, and thereupon the
President shall award to each person injured
the sum that he shall consider TO be just In
view of the evidence and report presented to
him, the aggregate amount so awarded by the
President, not exceeding 900, shall be paid
by the Secretary of the Treasury TO the Chinese
minister at Washington In full satisfaction and

General Decline in Stocks, and Large
Decrease In Sales.

General Decline in Stocks, and Large
Decrease in Sales.
New YORK, April 22.-The stock market
again reached the point OF extreme de
clines and dizziness to-day, the total sales
being only 1928 shares, decrease OF
nearly 100, 900 shares from yesterday. Prices
were about steady during the forenoon,
yielded slightly after midday on a little In
crease in the amount of business done, but
again became steady late In the day, and
the market closed very dull and steady at
figures that show declinesof TO per cent.
from last evenings final quotations. A
conspicuous feature of the mornings opera
tlons was the advance In Union Pacific.
IL remained steady during the rest OF the
day, and closed at 50a after sales OF $4,000
shares, the most active stock on the list.
The trading in Lake Shore amounted TO less
than 1880 shares, and the stock Is un-
changed, notwithstanding nearly all the
news received here during the day was from
Chicago and related TO the strike among the
employees Of that company.
The news, such as II was, was OF a rather
unfavorable character, but II was somewhat
conflicting. st. Paul contributed 2l,dO0
shares, and is an exception to the general
rule by closing higher than yesterday.
Southern Pacific Is also up !, and Missouri
Pacific J, on limited dealings. The total
sales OF I.aokawanna were only $4,000
shares, and II closed with decline. Among
the low-prlced fancies, Richmond and West
Point was conspicuously weak, selling down
to 31i, and closing ! higher, with a net
loss Of II. There was decided weakness In
G Consolidated Gas, the stock selling from
1868 down to 1921, at which II closed after
sales Of {, 900 shares.

at the mercy OF the commissioners and liable

steps to have the matter corrected, and mem.
bers Of each police precinct have been selected

seek redress. The officers, while feeling very
sensitive as TO the new order of things, have
hopes that when their views are presented to
