SIN HAS BEEN OUR TAsKMAsTER.
But 1t rolls over on me with great
power the thought that we have all
been slaves down in Egypt, and sin
has been our taslSmaster, and again and
again we have felt its lash. But Christ
has been our Moses to lead us out of
bondage, and we are forever free.
The Red sea of Saviour's sacrifice
rolls deep and wide between us and
our aforetime bondage, and though
there may be deserts yet for us to cross
we are on the way to the Promised

LONDON, Dec. 22.-The Guion line

BURIED UNDER SNOW DRIFTS.

Scores of Laborers Perish in Storm In
the Appenines.
ROME, Dec. GA fearful snow storm
in the Apprentices overwhelmed 200 labor
ers who were returning by the railway
to Sulmona in Abruzza, from Isernia,
on the western slope of the mountains.
The storm came with such swiftness as
to put stop to all travel, and of the 200
large number were buried beneath the
tremendous snowfall. It is believed
that scores have persisted. The relief
party which fastened to the scene upon
receipt of the news as soon as the storm
abated, had already, at last accounts,
recovered the bodies of fifteen dead and
were still actively pursuing the search
for the remainder. Such an overwhelm-
ing and destructive storm has not been
witnessed for years in that vicinity.

BATTLE WITH BANDITS.
UNITED STATES TROOPS AND MExl.
CAN REBELS FIGHT.

One Soldier Killed and One Wounded.
EGarza's Band Lost ssHeayiIy-The Navy
Department Said to Have Secured
Options on Number of Boats.
BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Dec. 22.-Ad-
vices from Rio Grande City are that
troops from Fort Ringgold, under Cap
tain Burke, Third cavalry, had two
skirmishes with Garza's band Of bandits,
who were seen crossing into Mexico.
Captain Burke had but nineteen men,
cavalry and infantry. They were in
formed that Garza's gang would at
tempt to invade Mexico at La Gruella
crossing, and started out to prevent it.
They mounted the infantry behind cav
alrymen and followed the bandits trail.
Approaching their camp about mid
night they were challenged by the ban
dts pickets and were fred on twice,
when the United States troops responded
with volley
Which Scattered the Bandits.
The troops could not pursue them
through the dense chapparal, so they
made their way to La Gruella crossing,
expecting to meet the bandits again
there. Not seeing anything of them,
the troops returned to the scene of the
encounter and ran on the bandits again
and gave fight, dispensing and putting
to fight. The troops had Corporal Es-
from, Troop G, Third cavalry, killed
and Lieutenant Hayes, Eighteenth in
fantry, slightly wounded. The bandits
were sixty strong, and their object was
to sack the town of Camargo, Mexico.
Captain Burke, before he came upon the
revolutionists, captured Thomas CARA,
who gave him full information as to the
whereabouts and number of the Cara
forces. During the first skirmish the
informer escaped. It was in the second
fight
That Estrom Was Killed,
falling at the first fire. In this engage
ment Lieutenant Hayes was endorsed
by slight wound. All this occurred at
the first fire of the revolutionists. By it
Burke's TANKS were driven, and he or
dered charge on the center. His men
were outnumbered four to one but that
mattered not. The charge was made
and Garza's men run. Private Lloyd,
Company G, Third cavalry, was cap
tured during the fight but escaped. It
is not known how badly Garza's forces
suffered, but he must have lost heavily.

together with the senate, rose to receive
him. Members of the house in unex-
pected numbers were in attendance, and
fully occupied the place reserved for
them in the rear Of the chamber on the
Democratic side. One gentle tap of the
vice presidents gavel announced the
diplomatic corps, and the senate and
house rose in silence while they took
their assigned places in front of
the members of the house. They
were all in sombre black, except
the Chinese minister, who wore a
tunic of very dark blue. Hardly had
they taken their seats when the judges
of the supreme court entered in their
official robes and seated themselves in

cratic side. Immediately afterwards
and exactly at the hour designated
