Recent events in our city, said Mr..
Whitman, 'have revealed the gay, ire
ligious life which many of our more pros
porous people live. There is growing
ungodliness among many well-to-do per-

Washington, March 9.-When< the senate
met to-day a letter was read from Presi-
dent pro tenn Frye appointing Mr.. Kean

The oath of office then was administered
to James p. Clark (Ark). w. j. Stone

AS there was no legislative business the
senate at 1906 p. NJ, went into executive
session.
Meantime the senate committee on for
eign relations had agreed to report favor
ably the Colombian canal treaty. Nc
action was taken on the Cuban or other
reciprocity treaties. The Colombian treaty
was reported without amendment. It was
read at length as the rules of the senate
required. Under the rules IN objection

Senator Morgan stated to-day that he
desired to have the Spanish copy Of the

THE TOMB OF TH0THMES
What Was Found in a Grave Over
1900 Years Old Near
Thebes.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
London, March 9.-An investigation Of
the tomb of King Thothmes w., near
Thebes, in which, as cabled to the Sun, a
splendid chariot was found by Mr.. Davis,
an American, revealed many interesting
features. Around a large chamber, in
which there is a magnificent marble sarco-
phagus covered with texts from the Book
of the Dead, are smaller chambers. The
floor Of one of these is strewn with num-
mified loins of beef, legs Of mutton and
trussed ducks and geese, offerings made
to the deadak king nearly 1000 years ago.
Clay seals bearing the kings name are at
tached to the doors Of the chambers.
These indicate that the Egyptians of the
eighteenth dynasty to some extent antici-
pated the invention Of printing, the raised
portions of the seals having been smeared
with blue ink before the clay was i'm
pressed. The walls of one chamber are
adorned with paintings. There Is also an
inscription stating that the tomb was
plundered by robbers in the eighth, year Of
Horemheb, but was restored as far as
possible by the reigning Pharaoh. 1t was
doubtless then that the jewelry buried
with Thothmes was stolen. ....
The floor Of this chamber is covered
with vases, dishes and other objects, near
ly all of which were. Wantonly broken, ap-
parently by the robbers. Some had been
repaired. There was also piece of tex
tile fabric in which tieroglyphics Of vari-
Gus colors are woven with such wonderful
skill as to present the. appearance of a
painting on linen. The great find, how
ever, is the chariot. The body alone re-
mains, but this is in perfect condition
The wooden frame was first covered with
papier mache and this with stucco, which
is carved into scenes from battles Phara or
fought in Syria. Every detail Is exquis-
itely finished, the whole being one Of the
finest specimens Of art preserved from an.
tiquity With the chariot was found 6
leather gauntlet, which protected the
| kings hand and wrist when he used a bow
| or the reins.

New York, March 9.-In consequence of
the circulation of disquieting rumors on
Wall street to-day, bear raiders We're en-
abled to resume the attack Of Saturday,
and prices fell off heavily at the opening.
The rumors had it that a large banking, in

| malls in each instance.
After the first few moments trading

customers to put up more margins, and
while those who were in a position to do

New Orleans, March 9.-The official

hours This is still nearly a foot and a
half under the record Of 1897. The levee

Heretofore the river has never reached

= London, March 9.-The development of
American trade in the British colonies is
watched with jealous eye by many peo-
pie in this country. Complaints are
raised that the Americans have of late
monopolized the markets Of Malta for
flour and oil to the disadvantage of Brit
ish trade. Formerly these articles
reached Malta from London, Liverpool
and Hull, but the cheaper prices quoted
sfTona New, Z York have sonsted the British
goods. This result Is attributed to the
direct steamship service inaugurated last
year. -, : &. -..z@- ,S.Ss p X -.
The outlook in connection with the
Canadian trade is an engrossing subject
of discussion In Bristol. At an early date
the Canadian Pacific railway will, it is
stated, open a. branch office there, and it
is understood that the Grand Trunk line
will follow suit so that the port will soon
be receiving attention to an nnprece-
dented degree from two rival organiza-

Dubuque, Iowa, March. 9.--A movement
is on foot among the silver wing Of the
democratic party in northeastern Iowa to
launch a Hearst boom for the presidency
in 1904 in this part Of the state. It has
been seriously considering the advisability
Of inviting Mr.. Hearst to deliver an ad-
dress in Dubuque county under the au-
spices of the Dubuque county democracy.
With Dubuque county in line for Hearst it
would be an easy matter to influence other
counties adjacent. The gold wing of the

was represented by about one-half Of the
Dubuque county delegation to the state

terly opposed however, to Hearst and OBJ
jects to having him speak in Dubuque un-
