members of the joint high commission
from Canada. The bOer commission
ers, he said. desire to lay before the
American people the facts concerning
the present war. They were not here
seeking anything but the friendly offices
of this government, and that natural
sympathy which tley had a right to

Senator Davis Mimi. chairman of
the committee on foreign relations,
opposed the resolution. This
| resolution" said he, recognizes these
gentlemen by name as commissioners
OF the south African government.
There is not foreign ambassador or
minister to this government who is
entitled to admission to the floor OF
the senate. The Canadian commits
sloners had been admitted, but there
was no such question then pending be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States as that which brought these
gentlemen here to state their cause to
the government and to the American
people. Without attempting to dis
parage the efforts of these gentlemen"
said Senator Davis, and without at
tempting to detract from the SYM
pathy that may be expressed for them
| feel bound to say they have pro-
ceeded in manner entirely irregular
and premature. Before they had been
received by the President they have lp-
peared in public meeting and have stat
ed the object of their mission and seek
to create public opinion to influence
the action of the government" Seua-
tor Davis said he did not intend to
bring into this question the merits of
the war, and cut off the debate by NOV
ing to lay the resolution on the table.
The motion was agreed to. The
postohice appropriation bill was
passed finally. An unsuccessful eff
fort was made by Senator Morgan
(Ala) to displace the Spooner Phil
ippine bill with the Nicaraguan ca
nal bill. The resolution offered a few
days ago by Senator Morgan, direct

view to ascertaining whether there is
any corporation or organization of in

in constructing the isthmian canal,

The resolution relating to the Mon
tana senatorial case was postponed
until Thursday.
Washington, May 21-The house
under suspension of the rules
passed two important bills re-
ported by the committee on labor, one
to extend the eight-hour day to all
laborers employed under contract on
government work. and one to prohibit
interstate traffic in prison made
goods by bringing them under the
jurisdiction of the police powers of
the state. A bill was passed to ad-
nit publications of state agricultural
departments to the mails as second
class matter. Conference reports on
the agricultural and fertilization ap-
preparation bills were adopted. The
conference report of the army appro-
rriation bill was rejected because the
house conferees had agreed to the
item to appropriate $4,000 for a library
in Manila. The bill was sent back to
the conference.

senate bill to Incorporate the American
National Red Cross association. The
conference report of the District of Co.
lumbia appropriation bill displaced the
Alaskan code bill. After debate upon
the proposition to appropriate 800 900
for municipal hospital at Washing
ten and over the question Of appropri-
atoms for sectarian institutions the re-
port was voted down and the bill sent
to a conference. The naval appropri-
alton bill was sent TO a conference.
Washington, May 18.-Tha postoffice
appropriation bill was considered in
the senate. The committee amendment
for extension of the pneumatic tube
service created some debate, and was
under discussion when the measure
was laid aside for the day. The amend
ment of Senator Butler IN. o. to re-
duce by 10 per cent the amount to be
paid to railroads for the tTansporta-
ton of mail was rejected, II to Al. A
committee amendment was agreed to
providing that the annual rental for
CancelIing machinery shall not exceed
10 per cent of the cost thereof. A sec
ton of the bill providing for the con-
tinuance of the commission TO investi-
gate the question whether or not ex-
cessiye prices are paid to railroad COM
panies for transportation of the mails,
was agreed to without division. Sem
ator Butler made a point of order
against the committee amendment
apprOpriating $750,000 for the trans
portation of mail by pneumatic tubes,
on the ground that it was new legisla-
ton, but the point was ovG-ruled by
chair. Senator Wolcott (COl) spoke
in opposition to the amendment. He
said the entire scheme of sending mail
by pneumatic tubes was covered by
patents, except the hole in the ground,
and that had to be obtained from mu-
nicipal authorities. The scheme, too,
was a monopoly, and the service in
New York Brooklyn, Boston and
Philadelphia was very limited The
cost in the four cities for tie service
varied greatly. In New York it cost
$4,000 a mile per annum; in Brook
Ign, $4,000; in Boston, $4,000 IN
Philadelphia, $4,000 The service,
Wolcott declared, had made a saving
of neither expense nor of appreciate
time. He declared the pneumatic
tube people had "swarmed the senate
corridors all winter like bees in hiv-
ing time. They did not want merely
the $25O,000 necessary to support the
present service, but an additional ap-
preparation of half million dollars"
He pointed out that the company con-
trolling the pneumatic tubes had fig
ured upon putting down so miles Of
them in the city of Chicago, aud yet,
he said, the postmaster at Chicago, I'M
III recently was opposed to the service,
but now was just as violently in favor
OF it. This is true, he said of many
other pOstmasterS I'VE all want a
good mail service" said Senator VOL
colt, but do not want it at the expense
of jobbery and corruption. We do not
want to be held up to secure it," Sen
ator Mason made an extended reply to
Senator Wolcott. He presented peti.
tons and memorials from trade and
commercial bodies in Chicago, showing
that the people of the western metropo-
lis were unit in demanding the ser

Washington. May 21.-A pyrotechnic
discussion of the status of the boer
commissioners now in Washington was
precipitated in the senate by a resolu-
ton offered by Senator Allen lpop.,
NebJ extending to the commissioners
the privileges of the floor Of the senate
during their sojourn at the national
capitol, The resolution was defeated
by vote of 36 to q. Senator Allen
maintained it was the universal prac-
tice of the senate to extend to such
visitors the courtesies OF the senate,
citing the recognition of Charles Stew

person. But hear me while tell you
of a poor young man who came up
from Nazareth to produce thrill
which has never been excited by any
other. Napoleon had around him the
memories Of Marengo and Austerlitz
and Jena, but here was man who had
fought no battles, who wore no epaul-
cts. who brandished no sword. He had
probably never seen prince or shak-
en- hands with a nobleman. The only
extraordinary person we know OF as
being in his company was his own
mother, and she was so poor that in
the most delicate and solemn hour
that comes to woman's soul she was
obliged to lie down among drivers
grooming the beasts of burden.
The Question of Lineage.
imagine Christ one day standing in
the streets of Jerusalem. A man de-
scended from high lineage is standing
beside him, and says: "My father was
a merchant prince He had castle on
the beach in Galilee. Who was your
father" Christ answers, Joseph, the
carpenter" A man from Athens is
standing there unrolling his parch-
ment of graduation and says to Christ,
Where did you go to school?" Christ
answers, Il never graduated" Aha,
the idea of such an unheralded young
man attempting to command the at
tention of the world! AS we'll some
little fishing village on Long Island
shore attempt to arraign New York.
Yet no sooner does he set foot in the
towns or cities OF Judaea than every
thing is in commotion. The people go
out on a picnic, taking only food
enough for day, yet are so fascinat-
ed with Christ that at the risk OF
starving they follow him out into the
wilderness. A nobleman falls down
fat before him and says, my daughter
is dead" A beggar tries to rub the
dimness from his eyes and says,
Lord. that my eyes may be opened"
"A poor, sick, painting woman presses
through the crowd and says, 81 must
touch the hem of his garment" Chill
6ren who love their mother better
than any one else struggle to get into
his arms. and to kiss his cheek, and
to run their fingers through his hair,
and for all time putting Jesus so In
love with the little ones that there is
hardly nursery in Christendom from
which he does not take one. saying,
II must have them. l will fill heaven

In the hour when was a poor man
in Judaea they were not ashamed Of

Victory Over Nature.
See him victorious over the forces of
nature. The sea is crystal sepulcher,
1t swallowed the Central American,
the President and the Spanish armada
as easily as any fly that ever tloated
on 1t. The inland lakes are fully as
terrible In their wrath. Some OF us
who have sailed on 1t know that Lake
Galllee, when aroused in storm, is
overwhelming, and yet that sea
crouched in his presence, and licked
his feet. He knew all the waves and
the wind. When he beckoned they
came. When he frowned, they fed
The heel OF his foot made no indenta-
tion on the solidified water. Medical
