DOW|E'S ZION CITY IS
CRUMBL|AG TO DECAY
Elder COssum Tells the People
That "Elijah's" Work
Is a Failure.

CHICAGO, Feb, 6.-Followers of John
Alexander Dowie were amazed yester-
day to hear from the platform of Shi-
loh tabernacle in Zion City the frank
admission that the work of their leader
had failed.
The statement came from Elder W.
H Cossum, in a sermon, The elder
declared that his conception OF DR..
Dowe was that of a man who had
been permitted to look forward into
the future and grasp the great prin-
ciples which will govern the millennium
and had attempted to apply them to
present conditions.
Why Dowie Failed.
He has not succeeded" said the
elder II hesitate to say It, yet l VIII
say It with love, realizing something
of what the fulness of my statement
means. He may not have measured up
to the great vision which forced him
to seek to establish some of the great
idealistic principles Of the kingdom In
Zion City in this church and the ideals
which he thrust into business life, but
he has not succeeded.
Only Few Millions.
why. is not for me to say; but I
know one reason why he has failed.
That is because the men and women
whom he has had in the church did not
acknowledge the vision with him. In
stead OF giving him their money they
put 1t into their pockets. Instead Of
fulfilling promises which they gave to
him In black and white, they lied to
him, turned away from him, and left
him with only a few millions. whereas
they promised him many.
I'VE may be able 10 discover personal
reasons for he IS q man of like pas
sions with us. II he has failed, 1t is
because he stepped out into environ
ments so strange and the whole eXpe-
rience was so new that he did not
know how to carry II out fully"

PRAISE COLORADO'S
DECEASED SENATOR
WoIcOtt's Splendid Charities
Told at Memorial Service
for the First Time.

DENVER, Colo, Feb. 5.-one OF the
splendid charities OF the late United
States Senator Edward o. Wolcott was
for the first time made public by former
Gov Charles S. Thomas today In the
memorial services before the Supreme
court.
In 1899. when the citizens of Colorado
wanted to bring the Colorado regiment
back from the Philippines for their great
reception in Denver, Mr.. Thomas said.
Senator Wolcott had offered to be one OF
six to give $1,000 apiece for this purpose,
or one OF three to give SO 000, or II neccs-
sary. he offered to give $4,000 himself
This wns the agreement he made with
the Governor, stipulating that 1t should
be kept secret
A large gathering of attorneys were
present at the memorial exercises. At
torney Lucus w. Cuthbcrt delivered the
principal address, which was faithful
account OF the career of the late Senator.
Chief Justice Gabbert spoke with great
feeling on behalf of the court

CHICAGO CAN'T HANDLE

Nineteen Hundred Clerks in

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-Chicago, with one
OF the finest postofiice buildings In the
entire country is utterly unable to ham
die ITS mail business For the first time
In four years the force OF 1900 clerks in
the mailing division was required to
work yesterday to relieve the conges-
tion that has clogged the machinery
since February l.
Although the clerks have been work.
Ing from ten to twelve hours a day.
hundreds Of bags OF mail are left undis-
trbuted each night. Important mall
for business houses is hours late in be-
ing received and sent out. and COM
plants about the inadequate service
have been piling up in Postmaster
Busse's room for several days.
Pneumatic Tubes Useless.
Pneumatic tubes in the new postof-
flee, which cost $120, 900 to install, are
practically useless There are not
enough clerks to take the mail prompt
ly TO them, and they are idle much OF
the time.
Machinery In the new building, which
cost 100000. is also providing more Of
a hlndrance than benefit because II
requires quite a number of clerks to
operate It, and that number has been
taken from the regular force. which
was inadequate before.
While the Government officials at
Washington are aware OF the condi-
tions. they have said that Chicago cam
not expect relief before July l. when
next years appropriation becomes
available
Tomorrow Postmaster Busse will
leave for Washington to make one more
appeal for more help. Ten days ago he
was told by First Assistant Postmaster
General Hitchcock that Chicago would
have to get along as best 1T could. be-
cause the last Congress had enacted a
law making the heads of departments
originally liable II they exceeded their
appropriations. and there was no money
to give to this city.

COLORAOO'S SENATOR
RAISES A SENSATION
Introduces Resolution Relative
to Rights of Senator'S in
Treaty Matters.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-Mr Patter-
son caused a sensation in the Senate
by introducing a resolution relative to
the rights of Senators in voting upon
treaties.
Mr.. PatterSon's resolution reclted
that the action OF the Democratic eau
Gus indicating TO Senators how they
should vote, was a plain violati of
the spirit and intent of the Constitu
tion or the United States. that each
Senator was entitled TO one vote, and
any attempt to coerce him was an IN
Yasion OF the rights of State; that
any Senator who permits himself to be
so coerced weakens and degrades his
State; that for any Senator to vote
otherwise than as his sense OF duty
dictates degrades his high office and
assails the dignity and standing of the
Senate.
Lodge Favors It.
The resolution was listened to with
great interest by the Senators. Mr.
Lodge had prepared a resolution SINH
lar to that OF Senator Patterson, de-
claring that a treaty like the Domlni-
can should not be made the subject Of
party action, but withheld 1t when he
heard that Mr. Patterson had proposed
a resolution. This he heard from the
lips of the Colorado Senator, who
claimed the privilege of presenting the
matter Mr.. Lodge conceded the supe-
riority OF Mr.. Patterson's claim
Mr.. Tillman objected to the present
| consideration of the Patterson resolu-
| tion unless 1t was a question OF per-
| sonal privilege. Mr.. Patterson said IT
was not and gave notice that he would
| discuss the resolution tomorrow.
