More Room Will Be Needed for the In
creased Number of Members.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Speaker Crisp
has in the rules committee room a numt er
Of plans suggesting changes in the appear
ance of the hall of the House Of Represente-
tives. These plans are due to the necessity
of providing some means for the accommo-
dalton of the twentv-three additional mem
bers under the apportionment act of the
last congress. Ex-Speaker Reed and Bourke
Cochran of New York are the fathers Of
the most radical Of all the plans. They are
| believers In the system Of seating members
on benches as is done in the English par
lament, and Of removing the desks now IN
the House of Representatives. Under their
| plan the hall Of the House would be not
more than half its present size and in the
| space thus left would be provided reception
rooms, committee rooms nnd writing rooms
where members could retire and attend to
their correspondence. The new arrange
ment would be great benefit to the weak
voiced members.
The plan is open to one very decided OBJ
lection, however, which its authors concede
and that is that it would be frequently
very difficult 60 transact business under our
present parliamentary rules which make a
majority of the total membership of the
House necessary to constitute a quorum. It
/ is not believed that, If compelled to SIT on
benches in a small room where neither
smoking nor general conversation could be
| INDUCED in, members would attend regu-
larly In sufficient numbers to make up a
quorum. The plan would cost 100000,
and is therefore out Of the question so far as
the present congress is concerned, though
the whole matter may become a topic Of
discussion in the next congress.
Another proposed plan contemplates the
removal Of the rear interior wall of the
chamber as IL exists at present and setting
Of the speakers chair ten feet farther back
and another is to move the rear rall back
farther.

among his people were adapted to
the climate and situation of the
country in which they resided. The
habits, institutions and customs of
these people, and the circumstances
and conditions under which they
existed and subsisted required the
enactment of these or similar laws,
and the inauguration of their vari-
Gus customs, which in time among
themselves received the sanction of
law. A law or custom which might
prove salutary in one country un-
der certain circumstances and con-
ditions,. in another country under
like circumstances and conditions
might prove to be undesirable and
even obnoxious. A physic admins
tered in one stage of a certain disease
might prove utterly inefhcacious in
another.
Laws are made for the convent
ence security and happiness of a
people, not the people for the
laws. And if there are any laws or
customs, which have the sanction
OF law in our religious worship,
which are inimical to the welfare.
convenience and happiness Of our
people. their modification or abo-
lition is justi6able to attain the
ends for which the laws were en-
acted and the customs inaugu-
rated.
As a physic administered in
the incipient stage of a disease is
found to be inehcacious later on,
so in the infancy of the Jews, the
laws promulgated and the Gus
toms inaugurated were expedient
and necessary for their good order,
convenience. welfare and happi-
ness, but as the banner of refine
ment. of knowledge and general
civilization marches onward and
changes the place, individuals, as
well as nations, need modification
in their laws and customs, so as to

The Jew as a Reformer.

The Jew as RefOPmeF.
A belief is prevalent among many
Jews that the abolition or modifi-
cation of ancient forms or customs
of religious worship is doing vio-
lence to our faith.
Evolution in the forms and GUS
toms of religious worship, as we'll
as in the terrestrial and ethereal
worlds, is a process ascribable sole
ly to the immutable laws which ma
ture has prescribed for the onward
march of individuals and nations
towards higher refinement OF
knowledge, comfort, happiness and
civilization. The many changes
which in recent years have taken
place in the modification and aboli-
ton Of various forms and customs
in our religion and religious wor-
ship is but the effect of evolution,
the present result which is now the
subject of so much criticism.
Faith, the inward belief in and re-
lance of man man upon a Superior
Being, and religious worship. the
uttered and symbolical means of
giving expression to and of more
wildly realizing the consciousness
of faith are terms of very different
significance. The former existed be-
fore the latter was conceived, and
their simultaneous existence is a log
ical impossibility. for a thought
must be first conceived beforeit can
be expressed.
History informs us that it was
the custom of primeval man to
manifest his faith in words and
symbols, directed to heavenly bod
les. and numerous deifed images Of
man and beasts. In later years,
however, when sect of people, i'm
bued with similitude of religious
faith in a single spiritual God, were
found in servitude worshiping in
unison, there came a deliverer,
Moses, who afterwards received the
sacred and imperishable Decal ogue.
From that time to the present the
followers of Moses are distinctively
known as Israelites. The nucleus
of their religion was and is their
faith in a single spiritual God, while
the Ten Commandments. which
Moses received at Mount Sinai, are
a noble and ennobling environment
of salutary and bene6cent laws,

Spokane Review !

1t is stated on reliable authority that
the Great Northern will within 30 davs
send corps of surveyrs into the field
to make the survey OF the first branch
line OF the road in this section.
This is the branch for which the peo-
pie OF Elberton, Pine City, Palouse City
and other towns in the Palouse country
have been making strong pull recently.
They have held mass meetings and laid
the matter before President Hill.
Nor is this all. They have even Sc
cured the right of way from the point
where the branch will leave the main
line to Palouse City. In most cases the
farmers have given the right of way out
right, and where they have not, the
owners OF adjacent property have given
them land in exchange for the right OF
way. The people along the proposed
branch are confident that it will be built
and that work will follow close on the
completion OF the survey.
1t is stated that the branch will leave
the main line in the vicinity OF Medical
Lake, pass through Cheney and Pine
City, then on to Cottonwood, on the
southeast side OF Steptoe butte, and down
on Dry Greek, then through low pass
to the mouth Of Silver Greek, striking
tpa North Do lo,,Co ri,-ar Of Elbart,D
thence up the North Palouse river to Pa
louise City, thence to Pullman, thence to
Cotton, thence down Steptoe canyon to
Lewiston, thence across the Clearwater
to Camas prairie, Idaho.
1t will be seen that the road will pass
through good country nearly the en-
tire distance, and between Cheney and
Elberton will touch a territory not yet
penetrated by railroad, besides being
the first line to Lewiston and Camas
prairie, Idaho.
Camas prairie is a fine farming and
stock country, and the people have for
years been trying to induce one OF the
other roads to build in there, but with
out success. Lewiston has waited long
for the extension OF the Spokane 4 Pa
louise branch OF the Northern Pacific,
but it stopped a few miles short OF that
thriving town, and with all their sup
plications they have never been able to
induce it to come any further. Hence
they are delighted over the prospective
advent Of the Great Northern and prom
ise it every encouragement.

Washington and Oregon Weather Re-
view for March.
PnRrlANn. OREGON. Anril !. . lS0

PORTLAND, OREGON, April |, 1898.
The month was cold and generally dis
agreeable The temperature was def
cient from two to six degrees, and the
rainfall was about normal except at
Portland, where there was deficiency
OF 2S per cent.
The month opened with snow on the
ground in northwestern Washington and
in eastern Oregon, south and east OF the
Blue mountains; snow fell in these sec
tioHs during the month, but at the close
OF the month there was no snow on the
ground, except about Baker City, where
there was one inch; on the higher ele-
vations and mountains quite deep snow
covers the ground.
BARoMErRtC PRESSURE.
The month had seven low pressures,
or storm areas: six OF them passed east
ward over British Columbia; the seventh
passed eastWagd over northern CalItor-
MIA to Denver and Omaha. The low
pressures, or storm centres, were on the
ist, 7th, 10th, 23d, 9th, Goth and 3lst.
Tie one Of the 10th moved south, then
north along the coast, giving general
rain and stormy weather to the 10th,
when it moved eastward.
TEMPERATURE.
The mean temperature for the month
was from two to six degrees below the
March normal, the greatest deficiency
being at Walla WaIla, and the least at
Roseburg. The month was devoid OF
any low temperatures OF any note; but
had, however, Il succession OF days when
the temperature would be greatly below
the normal. This closes the fourth con-
secutive month during which the tenn
perature has been below the normal.
PRECIPITATION.
The precipitation has been about the
normal, except in the interior valleys OF
western Oregon, where it is below the
normal and where it is deficient from one
to two and one-half inches. The pre-
ciptation was unusually well distributed
il raing on greater number OF days than
IL usual.
WEATHER.
There was an excess OF cloudy weather
and a marked deficiency in sunshine.
CROPS.
The cool, cloudy weather and frequent
rains have retarded the growth of veget-
ation. Spring plowing and seeding have
sen delayed, and the ground is too wet

A Chinese Oath.

Lee Doom, the Chinese hatchet wielder
who chopper Lee Gwong up in a horrible
manner at ColfaX recently, is headed for
the penitcntiary, says the Gazette. After
being out nearly 2l hours the jury re-
turned a verdict yesterday evening OF
assault with deadly weapon with in
tent to commit murder, as charged in
the information. He will probably get
from three to five years Imprisonment.
The trial was hard fought one. Messrs.
Hargrave, Pattison and Craven con-
Quoted the defense, while Mayor $. J.
Chadwick assisted Prosecutor Pickrell.
The highbinder societies brought
strong pressure to bear upon the injured
man TO induce him to Withdraw the
prosecution OF his assailant, even threat
ening him with death by the highbind-
ers' knife in case he succeeded in send
ing Lee Doom to prison. Doom is mem
Der Of the highbinder association, while
Gwong is not. However, the latter was
firm and made Il vigorous prosecution.
The uaths of the Chinese witnesses were
taken in bloody way, according to Mon
golian custom. A live rooster was
brought into court for each witness.
Colored papers, punks, Chinese candles
and ashpans completed the parapher-
MALTA necessary for proper binding OF the
MongOian conscience. The roOsters and
fireworks were placed in front OF the
witness ior the prosecution and the de-
fendant. They lighted the candles and
burned the punk. Then all began to
chant and shoe Fly, the Interpreter, adj
ministered the oath as follows.
''On April 4th, 1893, this case you wit
ness, sworn to speak the truth from the
beginning to the end. Ii you do not
speak the truth, you will be dead, or at
the time when You die your bones will be
sunk to the bottom OF the sea; your flesh
will float, and be eaten by the fishes; or
you will be chopped as this fowl is
chopped, your head from your body
When the incantation were done each
Chinaman grasped handful Of punks
and lighted them. These he placed in a
pan OF ashes. Then he lighted a red
candle and burned some paper. Then
lac came to the bloody part and took Il
rooster from the box and deity sashed
his head off with hatchet and threw
the dccapitated fowl back into the box.
The blood stains were wiped from
his hands while more paper was burned.
Over the still burning candles and punks
the testimony was then begun. This
form Of oath-taking is probably the only
mode OF binding the conscience Of the
heathen.
