George FREQ Williams, the youthful oaa'
ner bearer OF the Massachusetts Democ-
racy, visited the Capitol yesterday He
passed half an hour in the room or the
Committee on Banking aud Currency, and
was an attentive listener TO the explana-
tons of Secretary Gage Of ais plan to
contract the currency TO make more GER
tain gold standard. What he heard
by no means pleased him, and he made
this known to NJ =. Hill, of Connecticut
Later Mr. WiiIiams met a number of the
delegation from the OLD Bay State and
conferred with them. II he had any
business at the Capitol other than pleasure
and recreation, he declined 10 make 1t

Speaker Reed attracted much attention
yesterday while the debate in the com
mittee OF the whole was In progress. Mr..
Hopkins of Illinois was in the chair, ana
the Speaker amused himself and scores
OF others by moving his ponderous form
through the aisIes on the Democratic side
OF the House. He stopped and spoke to
every Democrat and apparently related a
story each time he stopped. The stories
must have been good, for he kept the
Democrats laughing for half IN hour.
Having thus admirably succeeded with
his lifelong opponents, he wandered over
TO the Republicans. and sat quietly at n
desk until the committee was ready TO
rise. Speaker Reed enjoys, with many
other distinctions, those OF having the
baldest head and biggest feet in the House
OF representatives.

One of the interesting sights of the
Senate yesterday Ewas a conference be-
tween Sen ator Wellin gton and Repre-
sentative MUdd. These men have not
been friendly since Mr.. Mudd broke away
from the Senator at the Ocean City con
vention and bad an anti Wellington man
named for chairman of the conven ton.
1t is supposed that MI. Mudd is seeking
to form an alliance, offensive and deren-
sive, with the Senator. During the last
election NJ. Mudd lost a tier of h.s Counties
to the Democrats, and his fences are
greatly In need Of repair. He can do
nothing with the Baltimore crowd and the
only alliance that can be made that win
strengthen him is with Mr.. Wellington.
It remains to be seen how close a combi-
nation MI. Mudd can make. Much depends
upon the spirit Of forgiveness that pervades
the breast of Mr.. Wellington.
The chair Of Senator Penrose in the
Senate is 8 curiosity. Mr. Penrose is so tan
and slim that he cannot sit in an ordinary
chair without bending his knees so that it
produces absolutepain. He complained bout
his chair the other day and sergeant-at-

the Senator could sit in it with comfort.

JOY AT HONOLULU.
How Citizens OF Hawaii Received the
News of the Signing of the
Annexation Treaty.

Vancouver. r. c., July 4.-Advices
from Hawaii say that less than two
hours were required by the enthusiast
tic citizens of Honolulu for the organi-
cation of a brass band parade in token
of the national satisfaction at the news
of the presentation of the annexation
treaty to the United States senate
While the steamship Australia, which
took ~ the news to Hawaii, still lay
at the Honolulu wharf three immense
bonfires gave further expression of the
prevailing sentiment.
The ratification of the treaty by the
senate scenes to be generally accepted
in Honolulu as assured and every
where a feeling of relief is expressed
at the probability of a prompt and
effective solution of the difficulties by
which the republic now finds itself sur
rounded.
This view of the case appears to be
shared by the general public in Hon
olulu, and is mildly echoed by the
newspapers of that city, which unite
in hailing annexation to the United
States as the national destiny of the
Islands," They outline in their arti-
cles the advantage which the possess
sion of Hawaii will confer upon the
republic.

NEW SAYINGS OF CHRIST.
More About the Oldest Papyri Known
TO Bear His Words,

New York, July 4.-Several weeks ago
the London correspondent of the Sun
cabled the news of the wonderful dis
coveries made in January last by
Messrs. Grendell and Hunt on the bor-
ders of the Libyan Desert, OF the old
est papyri known bearing the words of
Christ. That correspondent now cables:
The value of this find in the interest
ii will arouse in the whole Christian
world proves inestimable. 1t comprises
a dozen leaves. each 5A by 31a inches
in size, remarkably well preserved, and
clearly written in uncial characters Of
the ancient Greek. 1t dates about sixty
years after the crucihxion.
1t has easily been translated, and Is
found to consist of detached sayings of
Christ, without context, each begin
ming with the words. Jesus saith"
The translation will soon be published
by the Egypt Exploration Fund. An
immense edition at a few pence per
copy will be provided, so as to reach
everybody.
