 It became known that Senator Ali

 Finance Committee, in the absence of
 the chairman, Senator Aldrich. who is abroad, had been in the city since Mon- day, comforting with representatives of various trades as to possible reductions in schedules affecting their products. This fact makes it certain that with in the next few days the fight in the
 Republican party between the revision ists and the stand patters' on the tar if question will be on in earnest. While both sides have been preparing silently but none the less carefully for this con test during the last two or three months, they have been waiting for one or the other to show the signal for battle.
 The signal appeared yesterday soon |after the arrival of Secretary Shaw, when the stand pdtteTs ledTneu that Senator Allison was in the city and had been in conference with several of the more prominent Republican manufac-

The Review

The Review,
 The early Church did well to select an eagle as the emblem of St. John. He scars high and sees far. The pro- duct of his pen Is the most valuable portion of the Bible. It has been call- ed the gospel of eternity and the heart of Christ. His style Is unique. He does not attempt a minute or chrono- logical narrative. His writing Is an argument. He states a proposition and addresses himself to the maintaining of it. His purpose Is to cause the read CT to believe that Jesus Is the Christ. His method is to take scenic incidents and typical persons and report Jesuss words in connection with them so that there may be reciprocal illumination. He calls the reader to a halt that he may reflect, he epitomizes the argu- ment. makes application, and before he closes swings the golden censer of praise to God.
 Peculiar interest attaches to Johns person as well as to his writing. An incident illustrates his character It may, of course, be apocryphal, but Eusebius and Clement both affirm 1t to be true. The apostle left a young man in care of a certain bishop to be in structed. On his next visit he sur prised the bishop by asking for his deposit" The bishop denied that he had any deposit" supposing St. John meant money. Then the apostle said, T demand the young man." The bish- op reluctantly admitted that he had all lowed the catechumen to apostatize, and that he had become a robber chief The apostle mounted horse and put himself in the way of being captured by the robber in order that he might reclaim him. And in this he is said to have succeeded. If this tradition and others like 1t are true, sacred art has done an injustice to St. John when it has pictured him as effeminate. He was, in fact, a bun dle of paradoxes: a fisherman, yet hav- ing social access to the high priests palace; a Galilean, yet intimately fa- miliar with Judea; of none of the schools, yet penning the noblest thing in literature; gentle, yet a son of thunder.
 Johns Gospel Is the oral teaching of his whole ministry reduced to writ ing. It Is a restatement of apostolic doctrine by the last living apostle. It is not mere supplement to the other Gospels He did not merely bring up the rear for the purpose of gleaDtng what others had passed by. He takes great scenic events, six miracles Cor signs. as he significantly calls them)

tion of higher or lower seat, but of any seat at all, was what dumfound- ed him.
 The scenes shift swiftly in this ap- sorbingly interesting panorama. Jesus conversation with the woman at Ja- cob's well, to whom He makes His first categorical declaration of Mes siahship The healing of the noble- mans son is a history of the genera tion, growth, and fruitage of faith all in epitome. Jesus, at the Pool oi Bethesda, Is a picture of His sympathy and power. The event also marks the beginning of official hostility to Jesus
 There is a philosophic continuity in Johns presentation of incidents which is far more effective than a bald chron- ological series. He does not do vio- lence to chronology, but he is not hampered by 1t. His purpose is to show the evolution of Jesus's charac- ter work Next in this order comes the miracle of the loaves and fishes, followed by the appearance of Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacles, and clos ing with the miracle of the healing of the man born blind. This latter mir acle was like so many others, an acted parable. Jesus refused to enter with His disciples into the current and fa- yorite speculation which summed itself in the question whether the man or his parents were sinners; whether the suffering was sign of sin, and the de- gree of 1t indicated the degree of the sin. He turned from splitting hairs to opening eyes. It pleased Him to con- descend to the use of the crude mate- ria medica of the day in order to strengthen the growing faith of the unfortunate man and to make the cure the more conspicuous. Johns glowing narrative gives us a dissolving view fascinating and impressive. The pitt full mendicant fades away, and in his stead appears a glorious confessor witty and dauntless. meet to be enroll ed in the noble army of the faithful.

Orators to Re Present.
 Washington, March 24.-(Special)- New York dispatches this morning publish in d story of rivalry between the Iroquois Club of Chicago and the Democratic Club of New York. respect Ing their proposed Jefferson Day din ners and the orators each has engaged for the occasion the following:
 Last week it was announced that Senators Carmack and Bailey would speak at the Democratic Club dinner
 Since then these Senators have been captured by the Iroquois Club. Van Wyck said today. however. he had corralled three other Senators, Stone of Missouri. Dubois of Idaho and New lands of Nevada. to make up for the assertions. These three Senators, 1t Is understood, will be guarded by Tam many men right up to Jefferson Day to prevent any Kidnapping by the Iro- auois Club. It was also announced that Van Wyck had captured an Illi- nois Member of Congress. but his name was not made public for obvious req sons"
 Senator Carmack before he left Washington two days ago to go to Tennessee informed The Advertiser correspondent that he had agreed to go to the New York Clubs dinner and would be back East in time for that event. after which he would return to Washington to attend the meeting of the Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce. of which he Is a member.
 There is only one Democratic mem Der in Congress from Illinois, so that If Van Wyck has captured any Illinois members as stated in the dispatch, 1t must be Mir. Rainey of the Twentieth District the sole Democrat in Con- gress from Illinois. As MT. Rainey is regarded as a radical Hearst Democrat, 1t is hardly likely he has been cap tured by the Van Wyck syndicate.

Washington. March 24-(Special.)- )- Senator Warren, chairman of the Sen ate Claims Committee. says that the next Congress Is likely to provide for the payment of all war claims found meritorious.
 Many of these claims were excluded from the omnibus claims bill which passed the last Congress because they had not been investigated by the court of claims. It was thought that with out investigation and recommendation by this court the claims would be cut to nominal figures. The committee considered such a proceeding unjust and decided to let these claims go over to be provided for later.
