Winnipeg, Man., April 4.-The
Canadian Pacific railway station
and the immigration Offices were
crowded all day yesterday with new
arrivals. ia Everything appeared
inadequate lor the requirements.
The station is lined all around with
hundreds of trunks, valises and
packages of every description of the
immigrants. The waiting-rooma
are crowded and the immigration
offices are far too small to accommo-
date the people at the counters.
Some of the officers do their bust
ness outside, and others are
surrouded at their desks, giving in
formation to the anxious inquirers,
So great is the number of arrivals
that it isj impossible for them to
secure accommodations in the immi,
grafton hall or at the hotels. The
Canadian Pacific railway officials
throw open their waiting-rooms and
hundreds slept on the floors. Others
who could not crowd in were COM
PEELED to walk the streets all night.
Hundreds go out to various parts of
he province and the northwest, but
others arrive and the situation is
not relieved. Yesterdays arrivals

FROM THE HOLY LAND.

Jerusalem, March 1908.
NV dear sister and brother
We just arrived in the historical
city of Jerusalem and the ride from
Jaffa confirms the Biblical discrip-
ton of this country, dress of the
people, mode of agriculture. flowers
etc. 1t is so strange and different
from what I expected, we are housed
in the best hotel it is just without
the City Wall. The floors are
either marble or cement and my
room has no mordern furniture
exceptlng::the bed, or I mean Ameri-
canized furniture. I have a candle
for lighting up the gloom-I looked
into the court and saw man and
woman roasting coffee over a char
coal fire, it smelled so good. do
not drink the ships coffee it is like
so much lye.
The road from Jaffa to Jerusalem
was over the plains, they are so
fertile, tho orange, lemon, figs,
almond tree flourishes and the
wheat and barley crops are fine
standing 8 inches or so. The farm
ers live in villages and dress in
Oriental dress and use camels,
donkeys and oxen to farm with, it
is all so strange.
The approach through the Mount
ians remind me of mountains in
America and parts of the Bad lands
but they pick up the rock and
terrace tho side IF the mountains
and put in crops and raise olive
trees in a wonderful way. The city
is walled and the city without con-
tains many fine looking houses but
not of our style Of architecture, I
think there is much in store for us
here. Tomorrow one sight will be
to see the "wail1ng Dervishes''.
I enjoyed delightful ride while
at Beyrout yesterday, four of us
hired carriage and spent five hours
driving into the country. The
Mulberry tree is cultivated largely
as the silk worm is the principal
mode of making living. The
Houses are of stone with the battle
ments as in olden times, he plow

done out of doors, no cook stoves
being used. The city of Boy rout
is situated on banks for 8 miles.

A DISCOVERY.

Yesterday while workmen near.
st. Kilian were excavating for a
cellar they made a queer find.
About sixteen inches from the sur
face they struck what at first they
supposed to be simply a large bowld-
or but on uncovering it it proved to
be the capstone of rude piece of
masonry built in the shape Of an
altar. The complete structure when
uncovered was four feet nine inches
square at bottom and top three feet
nine inches square at the center and
four feet nine inches high. The
cap stone is one solid piece nine and
nine tenths inches thick and is hol-
lowed out on top to form a large
bowl.
The entire altar is laid in brown
cement as hard as tho rock itself.
The rock is of a dull red color
similar to red pipestone and except
the capstone which is highly
polished, is in the rough. The
four sides of the capstone recovered
with strange characters and rude
drawings. On the east side is the
figure of half rising sun and on the
west crescent or new moon. On
the north is found the picture of a
bull, fastened to post with nine
linked chain while on the south is
Ia picture of a hammer, masons'
trowel and square fastened to-
gether in the form of a triangle
with three pieces of chain of three
links each. All round the sun are
carved written characters which
Father F., Of st. Kilian, pronounce
ed to be Hebrew, written six or
seven thousand years B. G. He
thinks the inscription belongs to
a secret order written in the form of
scripture. When translated into
English it is apparently a mere
tumble of letters without sense or
meaning. The translation il as
follows: lirpAfo yad tsrif
Q ht is shit Loot uo,ht.
The find has caused a great deal of
excitement. All sorts of opinions
and theories have been suggested as
to what it is and how it got there.
The Free Masons claim that it is the
work of and represents their order
for no other order dates back so far.
Besides the hammer, trowel and
square are emblems of masonry.
The Odd Fellows claim the three
links and triangle and the Patrons
of Husbandry the bull, but Father
+. thinks it is the work of lost tribes
of Israel who after wandering to
this country had gone back to the
Egyptian religion. He thinks the
bull represents an Egyptian God,
the sun the son of God and the
triangle the endless journey of the
wandering Jews. Arrangements
are being made to ship the altar to
St. Paul where it will be placed on
exhibition, J. F. G..
