MR.. MCKINL LEY INACCURATE ED
Continued from Second Page,

sult OF centuries OF tireess effort in legis-
lative hall, to conserve, to render stable
and secure, the rights and liberties which
have been achieved by conflict. BY its
rules the Senate wisely fixes the limit 10
Its own power. OF those who clamor
against the Senate and its methods Of pro-
cedure may be truly said, They know not
what they do In this chamber alone are
preserved without restraint two essentials
of fwiselegislationa andof good government
the right OF amendment and OF debate.
Great evils often result from hasty legisla-
tIon-rarely from the delay which rollo VS.
full discussion and deliberation. In my
humble judgment, the historic SenaJe-pre-
serving the unrestricted right Of amend
ment ana debate, maintaining intact the
hmehonored parliamentary methods and
amenities which unfailingly secure action
after possesses in our scheme
OF government a value which cannot be
measured by words.
The Senate is a perpetual body. In the
terse words 0fan eminent ScnatoTnow pres

ABOUT BIBLES

The finest ana largest collection Of Bibles
in the world is said to be that at the Bible
house of the British and Foreign Bible SO
clety, in Queen Victoria street, London.
a writer in a current magazine has lately
visited this building, and describes some Of
the famous and curious Bibles he saw.
There were sixteenth century Bibles, with
columns and pages daubed out with red
ochre by the hand of the censor; Bibles Of
dead kings and queens, containing the sig
natures OF their owners; the Wicked 81
bIe," issued in 1882, which said, Thou
shalt commit adultery and brought fine
of 900 marks To its unhappy publisher for
unintentionally leading a weak world
astray and the d" BreeChes Bible" Of $50,
which said that Adam and Eve ''sewed
leaves together and made themselves
breecheS."
One of the best manuscript Bibles which
have come down from ancient times is a
copy made by Thecla, noble Christian
lady Of Alexandria in the fifth century
1t was brought from Alexandria TO Con
stantinople and given by the patriarch TO
the English ambassador for presentation
to his sovereign, James 1, and remained in
the possession of the English kings until
the royal library was presented to the
nation by George II.
Bible printing in England is done by
privilege of the queen privilege Led
by only three establishments, the oxford
press, the Cambridge press and Messrs-
Scottiswoodc & Eyre, the queens printers

The New Vice Presidents Address
to the Senate.

When Mr.. Stevenson concluded his speech
he took the seat which his successor had
occupied; while Vice President Hobart

The audience rose and remained in an
attitude Of reverence while the blind

Then Vice President Hobart made his

1t was 81 when r resident McKl nley and
eX-President Cleveland returned to the
White House, accompanied by the Senate
committee. After alighting from the car
riage 1t was apparent that Mr.. Cleveland
was going to say goodby to his successor
then and there, when, hestating a mo-
ment, President Mckinley asked the ex-
President ''if he would not come in"
He consented and went into the Blue
Room, where he stopped just three minutes
and, like Mrs Cleveland, departed from the
south entrance and entered q carriage there
waiting, whose only occupant was Col.
Robley ID, Evans, ofthe Navy, and the two
were drivent TO the wharf, where they took
the lighthouse boat, the Maple, for North
Carolina waters, where he will hunt and
fish for two weeks
PRESIDENT Mckinley and Senators Sher-
man and Mitchell went Immediately to the
reviewing stand, all walking, across the
lot, the President declining to take the
carriage, which was standing in waiting.
The President S arrival at the reviewing
stand was greeted with great cheering
He met there the Vice-President, and the
TWO took their positions and reviewed the
procession, remaining until the end came,
which was about $50 o'clock. About 4
O'Clock Mother Mckinley" with her son,

To them the occasion was one OF more
than ordinary interest. The strained re-
lations betweenthe UFited States and Spain,
growing out of the rsp pelnon in Cuba, made
McKinley's utterances on the subject OF
our foreign relations of especial signifi-
cance.. Nat urally the. most interested
member ofthe corps was the Spanish min
lister, Mr.. Depuy deldome. Other occu-
pants of the PLATFORM were the governors
of several sovereign States, prominent

church fairs which viii doubtless have

covers the expenses Of tea and other light
refreshments, but bachelors and widowers
are requested to bring their socks or gloves
to be mended while they wait, and for these e

CHAPTER XVII.

This chapter consists largely of let.
ters. AS a general thing letters are Of
little concern to anyone except the
writer's and the receivers, but they are
inserted here under the hope that the
reader is already well enough acquaint'
ed with the correspondents to feel some
interest in what they have written.
1t was nearly n fortnight after the
receipt of the cablegram from Kenyon
that George Wentworth found, one
morning, on his desk, two letters, each
bearing a Canadian postage stamp,
One was somewhat bulky and one was
thin, but they were both from the same
writer. He tore open the thin one first,
without looking at the date that was
stamped upon it. He was little be
wildered by its contents, which ran as
follows:
my DEAR GEORGE: I have just heard
that Melville is the man who has bought
the mine The circumstances Of the case
leave no doubt in my mind that such is the
fact, therefore please disregard the re-
quest / made as to employment In the let
fer posted to you short time ago. L feel
a certain sense of disappointment In the
fact that Melville is the owner of the mine.
1t seems 1 have only kept one rascal from
buying it, to put 1t in the hands Of another
rascal. Your friend, JOHN KENYON.
melville the owncr!" cried Went
worth to himself. whatever could
have put that into Johns head? This
letter is evidently the one posted few
hours before, so it will contain what
ever request he has TO make" and, with
out delay, George Wentworth tore open
the envelope of the second letter which
was obviously the one written first. 1t
contained a number of documents re-
latinc the transfer Of the mine. The
letter from John himself went on to
give particulars of the buying of the
mine Then it continued. 81 wish you
would do me a favor, George. VIII you

course, anxious TO make it turn out as

that are not entirely selfish, as you
know. To tell you the truth, George,

CHAPTER XXVI.


After the business of transferring
the mine to its new owner was com
pleted, John Kenyon went to the tel
cgraph Office and sent a short cable
message to Wentworth. Then be
turned his steps to the hotel, an utter
lv exhausted man. The excitement AM
tension Of the day had been too much
for him. and he felt that. if be did not
get out of the city OF Ottawa sEd into
the country. where there were fewer
peopIc and more air, he was going to
he i'll. He resolved to leave fer the
mine as soon rs possible. There he
would get things in as good order as
possible and keep things going until
he heard from the owner. When he
got 10 his hotel lie wrote TO Went
worth, telling the circumstances under
which he secured the mine, rather
briefly, and dealing with other more
personal matters. Having posted this,
lie began to pack his portnanteau pre-
paratory to leaving early next morn
ing. While thus occupied the hell boy
came to his room and said: There is
4 gentleman wishes 10 see you.
He imagined at once that it was Won
Brent, who wished to see him with re-
gard to some fCrmality relating to the
transfer, and he was, therefore, very
much astonished, in fact, for a moment
speechless, to see Mr.. William Long
worth enter and calmly gaze round the
rather shabby room with his critical
eyeglass.
"Ah,'' he said, these are your dig
gings, are they? This is what they cali

Well, some people may like it, but
confess L don't care much about it my
self. Their three or foGT-dollar-a-day
hotels are bad enough for me. By the
way, you look rather surprised to see
me. Being strangers together in a
strange country, 1 expected warmer
