WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 4TH 1901.

Congress held joint session today
for the purpose Of participating In the
ceremonies connected with the celebra-
ton of the centennial of the appoint
ment of John Marshall, 70 be Chief JUS
tice of the United States Supreme Court
which We're both interesting and i'm
posing. Usually the Senate makes the
House come to it especially in legisla-
tive matters, but when there is a joint
session, the Senate has to 90 to the
House, for the very good reason that
the Senate Chamber is not large enough
to furnish even standing room for all
the members of the two bodies. The
President and his entire Cabinet at
tended the Marshall ceremonies; also the
funeral of Queen Victoria on Saturday.
1t was coincidence that these two cere
monies, the first in honor of foreign
sovereign and the second in honor of one
of Americas greatest jurists, should
have been so close together,
How much bluffing there is on both
sides in the contest over the Ship Sub
sidy bill in the Senate, must become
apparent after few days of the present
tactics AS the matter now stands, the
Steering committee of the majority has
decided that the Subsidy bill shall be
kept before the Senate until vote is
taken. The Senate is already meeting
at IL o'clock instead Of II, and notice
has been given that beginning early
this week, night sessions will be held to
tire out the opposition. The opponents
Of the bill say that they intend to com =
pei quorum to stay on the floor and
listen to the debate. Meanwhile, the
regular appropriation bills are pling
up In the Senate, and every day gwen
to the Subsidy bill adds the probability
of an extra session of the next Congress,
thing which many Senators are par
ticularly anxious to avoid, because it
interferes with their personal plans for
the spring and summer.
The House is saving wood and dis
posing Of routine business. 1t is now
considering the Post Office Appropria-
ton bill.
Senator Chandler doesn't appear to
be at all opposed to an extra session,
although he will not participate in it if
there is one, as be said during the de-
bate on the Shipping bill: Where is
plenty of time for Congress to do oil of
its business between now and the 4th of
March, or it can be done after the 4th
of March. 1t is not important that the
appropriation bills shall be passed be-
fore the 4th Of March, as they will not
become operative until the 1st of July"

How to Cure the Grip.

Remain quietly at home and take Cham
berlalns Cough Remedy as directed and a
quick recovery is sure to follow. That remedy
counteracts any tendency of the grip to re-
suit in pneumonia, which is really the only
serious danger. Among the tens of thousands
who have used it for the grip not one case
has ever been reported that did not recover.

The Devil on Earth.

The appearance and pranks Of the devil on
earth, arayed either in his conventional garb
OF flaming red, with cloven hoois a pitchiori
and tail. or in sem.human form, have been
used AZ more or less entertaining material en-
the stage ever since the very birth OF tho
English drama. In the old moralitics and mys-
teries, which constituted tine theater OF London
in the centuries before Shakespeare, his Satanic
Majesty was a familiar figure. In more recent
years, lie has been Of service in both opera and
the spoken drama In the latter he has almost
invariably been Goe.he's conception, and as
such he has become a triRe monotonous.
No such charge, however, can be made against
the figure of the devil created by the phenom.
inally popular English novelist, Marie Coreili.
The sales oi her book, 'The Sorrows of satan,'
having in this country alone, exceeded a mil.
lion copies, II would appear unnecessary TO even
outline the story here, story which. in its
dramatic form, as successfully produced two
years ago at the Salisbury theater, London,
is 10 be presented for the third time in this
city on Tuesday evening al the Lyceum.
