The traveller in the Holy Land will
witness few sights which will interest
him more than that of the Russian pill
grims at the annual Epiphany cere-
monies on the banks of the River
Jordan.
week before the festival itself
crowds of these Slav peasants are seen
trudgtng along the Jericho road, with
every imaginable kind of haversack
and carry on their backs. Some of
the pilgrims are old and weather worn
others young and cheerful. while few
overcome by sleep and fatigue, are ly-
ing prone along the roadside. But
somehow the whole lot, young and old
manage to reach the banks of the river
in good time for the ceremony. They
spend the night, perhaps, i'm the Rus
sian hospice at Jericho. where they
simply huddle together like flock of
sheep. Before dawn the rooms are
empty. and the whole crowd has gath
cred on the bank, where Greek priests,
who will presently drive a most lu-
crative trade await them
The principal articles sold are
branches of trees from various sacred
spots. stones from the Mountain of
Temptation hard by, plants from the
wilderness and rosaries with olive
stones for beads. To whateves reli-
gious value is claimed for these ar
tcles the Russian peasants implicitly
give credence, and they willingly pay
their money to obtain them.

ceding the ceremony the motley crowd

Sew York Spectator Asked ~ He Was
in Army Wagon.
Amusing incidents occurred in the
crowds that were waiting at various
times to see Prince Henry. In front
of the Metropolitan Opera House the
night of the gala performance for
hours the driving rain had soaked the
thousands that filed Broadway.
Mounted police galloped up and down
and trolley cars charged into the
swaying lines of the people. The hours
dragged along and the time set for
Prince Henrys arrival passed. and
still there was no sign.
Suddenly there was scurry of hoofs
and a rumble Of wheels, and a squad
of the troop accompanying a forage
wagon galloped up
"There he is, There he is!" shouted
the excited crowd. Then one solemn
old Yankee, who had been silently
waiting for hours, peered out from un-
der his umbrella, and, catching sight
Of the army wagon anXiously inquired
of the driver:
"Say, Mr.. Soldier have you got
Henry in there?

whose state reference had been made by
the New York senator, replied partly to
sCme of the statements of Mr. Depew
and defended the suffrage clauses in the
Mississippi constitution.
Mr.. Depew made a warm reply and at
tackled the election methods not only Of
Mississippi but of SEVERAL other Southern
states He intimated that if fair methods
were employed in those states, Republic
an senators would be here as their rep
IesentatiVes.
His remarks drew a sharp fire from sew
eral senator's Mr.. Money AMI his col
league, Mr.. McLaurin, explained Missis-
sippi election methods, and Mr. Simmons
of North Carolina, pointed out that Mr..
Depew had been entirely mistaken about
the operation Of the constitution of that
state, and that his statements were err
roneous.
Mr.. Blackburn, of Kentucky, warmly
arraigned the New York senator for his
comments on Kentucky elections, defand-
ed what is known as the Goebel elecAoH
law and asserted that the New York SEN
ator was not informed as to facts of
kentucky politics.
When the Chinese exclusion bill was
taken up an agreement was entered to
vote on the measure next Wednesday

in the test in Mississippi said Mr. De-
pew, "the returning boards were selected

''The senator from Mississippi con-
tinued Mr.. Depew, says ic would make
no difference if the amendment should be
adopted, but it would, as there would
be Republican senators freq several
states now represented by Democrats
In the course of his speech, Mr.. Depew
severely criticised the Goebel law in Ken
lucky, and said that under fair vote the
Republicans would send men of their
party to the senate. He said the con-
stitution of North Carolina was schanged
so that Senator Pritchard (Rep.) could be
succeeded by Democrat, and Butler
Pop) could be succeeded by a Demo-
crat.
Replying to one of Mr.. Depew's argu-
ments, Mr.. Money said he could not un-
derstand how the sovereignty of a state
would be invaded by the adoption of an
amendment to the constitution providing
for the election of senators by the peo-
pie, but he could see that the efforts of
corporations and trusts to crowd the sen
ate chamber with their agents would be
invaded.
In conclusion Mr.. Money declared that
it was not the Southern states which
were dissatisfied with the present method
of electing United States senator's, but
Republican states, which evidently were
dissatisfied with their representation in
the chamber.
Mr.. Depew insisted that if senator's

TALMAGE is NEAR DEATH
PHYSICIANS HAVE NO HOPE OF RE
COVERY OF THE MINISTER.

WASHINGTON April 11.-Rev. De Witt
Talmage, the noted Presbyterian divine,
is slowly dying at his home in this city.
His physicians concede that they can now
see no hope for his recovery and that
he is steadily growing worse. He has
been unconscious for over forty-eight
hours and the passive congestion of the
brain has developed into very inflam-
sd condition.
According to the II o'clock statement Of
the physicians there was no marked
change in the condition of Dr. Talmage
tonight.
Dr.Talmage was In poor health when he
started for Mexico six weeks ago. He
was suffering from influenza and serious
catarrhal symptoms. He has been very
i'll since his return to Washington
month ago, but some hope had been held
cut until yesterday.
The day before the wedding Of his
daughter he recognized the latter saying.
"Of coures / know you, Maud" Those
are about the last rational words he has
uttered.

ORDERS COMMITTING SENTENCES

HAVANA, April 11.-An order granting
partial pardon to all thase who are un-
dergoing life or shorter sentences has
been published. The pardons vary from
one-quarter to one-half of the penalties
imposed. All persons who are awaiting
final decisions by the court of appeals
must withdraw their appeals in order TO
benefit the order.
This order also clears up all doubt re-
garding pardon for offenses committed in
connection with the war.
An order was issued March "a, 1899, by
Gen. John r. Brooke, then military gov
ernor of Cuba, promising pardon for
crimes committed by troops in the fields
during the war. An explanation Of this
order contained in circular issued by
the Cuban secretary of justice April Il,
1899, caused some doubt as to just what
military offenses were pardonable.
The present order Of pardon says that
this step is taken in order that an era
