THE SPOKANE.

This is the story of the play,
"The Strength of the Weak" in
which Florence Roberts appears
here for three nights beginning
unday evening: The leading
character is young girl who has
written a book under an assumed
name, and which has become the
sensation of the hour. The book
in reality is the life of the girl,
who has been betrayed by her
guardian, and who, realizing her
shame, resorts to the book to ex-
press her belief that a good woman
falling can by dint of her own eff
forts regain her self-respect ana
position. The success of the book
leads the girl to hope that she can
with the money repay the guardian
and thereby cancel her obligation
to him for her education. When
she graduates she leaves for New
York and casts loose from the
man who was responsible for her
downfall. She subsequently meets
and falls in love with a noble
young fellow and consents to be
his wife, but not until after she
has acquainted him with the story
of her past and been forgiven. The
former guardian appears on the
scene and attempts to renew his
relations with tie unfortunate girl,
and she by accident learns that
the man she loves and her be-
trayer are father and son.

WARM TIMES
 IN THE HOUSE
Continued from Page One.)

 MT. Smith said that it was reflec- tion on the education and enlightenment of the American people to permit the yellow journals and still yellower magazines to use the mails as second class matter and take away the very life of charitable and educational in stitutions because publications repre- senting these institutions were tyran- ically excluded.
 All we ask is." said MT. Smith, that the frail bark of virtue shall have the same rights on navigable waters as the piratical bark flying the black flag.
 The amendment went out on a point of order
 MT. Aiken (N. O. endeavored to get the salaries of rural carriers increased them fifteen days annual leave. He also proposed an amendment to Insure rural deliveries six days a week, but this was ruled out of order and the other proposition defeated. An effort by MT. Flood (Va.) to put Confederate veterans on the same pre- ferred class as other veterans for posi- tions as rural carriers, was unsuccess- full. The bill was finally perfected at 5:45 o'clock, when MT. Moon (Tenn.) offered motion to recommit 1t to the Postofflce Committee with instructions to report the bill to the House imme- diately with the Southern mall sub sidy stricken out. On this motion Mir. Crumpacker Qnd) demanded a roll call, which was ordered.
 MT. Moons motion to defeat the sub sidy was lost-96 to 9s; present '.
 This retained the subsidy in the bill, and, without further objection, the bill was passed
 The House adjourned at 615 D. m. un- til tomorrow at noon.

 paItimore. April 13.-The Interstate 1,ommerce Commission met in this city to continue it's investigation into the alleged community of interests oe- tween interstate commerce carriers and inc coal and oil business of the country authorized by the Tillman- Gillespie joint resolution, adopted by Congress last month. A number of witnesses have been summoned to appear before the Commission and the taking of their testimony began today.
 Among the witnesses are Third Vice President Potter and Superintendent or Transportation Arthur Hale of the Bal timore and Ohio Railroad and General Superintendent Fitzgerald of the west ern Maryland Railroad. The members of the Commission present at the in ouiry are Knapp, chairman; Clements, Prouty and CockrelL
 The chief feature brought out dur ing the examination of Superintendent Hale was an admission in answer to several questions that coal is taken out of the mines by a company owned by the Baltimore and Ohio and distrib- uted to retailers by companies in which the Baltimore and Ohio Is interested, either by direct ownership or indirect stock ownership or other control The witness said he owned fifty shares of the Consolidated Coal Company's stock and 100 shares in the Fa1rmont Coal Company, all of which he bought in the open market.

THE BEAR AND LION
EFFORTS TOWARD AN ANGLO-RUs
 SION ENTENTE.
Great Britain Taking Advantage of Excellent Opportunity to Urge Better Understandings With St. Petersburg-Aimeda at
 Germany.

St. Petersburg, April 13.-Great Britain has begun to vigorously press negotiations for an Anglo-Russian en- tente with the purpose of completing the triple alliance of Great Britain, France and Russia, against Germany which has long been the aim of the British policy.
 The developments at the Algeciras conference, when Great Britain, France and Russia acted in unison and the participation of English bankers in the big Russian loan furnishes a par ticularly favorable moment and Great Britain is striking while the iron is hot.
 Besides, the British government has recently given Russia proof of her de- sire to settle outstanding difficulties by inducing English bankers not to take tho Persian loan on the ground that it might be regarded as prejudi- cial to Russian interests.
 The sen nBment here In favor of the entente has also been aided by the de- clination of Germany to participate in the Russian loan and by publications from Russia hostile to eGrmany, which have been directly inspired from Brit ish sources.
 Count Lamsdorff and latterly Pre- mier iWtte have favored an Anglo Russian entente and the consummation is regarded as practically certain. when the Persian question is settled all matters relating to the Indian
