BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. May 2.-That the
California senators do not consider that
there should be at present an effort to
secure government aid in the general
reconstruction of the city of San Fran
cisco was made evident in the senate
today.
The question came up on Mr.. New
lands resolution directing the finance
committee of the senate and the ways
and means committee of the house to
consider the feasibility of the govern
ment's guaranteeing bonds to aid in the
rehabilitation of the stricken city.
The Nevada senator discussed the
resolution at some length, .contending
for the regularity of his suggestion and
enlarging upon the desirability of max
ing the city a more attractive center
of popula ton that it had ever been.
Resolution Not Timely
Both Mr.. Flint and Mr.. Perkins dep
recated the introduction of the reso-
luton as unwise at this time and both
expressed their opinion that the Cali
fornia delegation should have been con-
suited before the presentation of the
measure. The resolution was referred
to the committee on finance.

the rate bill.
The army appropriation bill was re- d
at length but it's consideration was not

GREAT FIND OF EXPLORERS.
Fragments of GospeLand Many Other
Ancient Writings.

Chicago, Nov. 30.-A cable dispatch
to the Tribune from London says: 1t
now is possible to give further details
of the remarkable find of papyri as a
result of the efforts of Drs. Grenfell
and Hunt, Of the Greco Roman branch
of the Egypt Exploration Fund at Oxy-
rhynchus. The find consists Of no few
er than 1870 boxes of papyri, ranging in
date from the second century, B. c., to
the sixth century, A. d. They COM
prise all classes of literature, many
fragments of the lost or even unknown
classical works, and some most import
ant fragments unknown to Christian
literature.
The most important find is vellum
leaf containing As lines Of gospel which
has variation from the authorized
version. The subject is the visit Of
Jesus and his disciples to the temple Of
Jerusalem and their meeting there with
the Pharisee, who rebukes them for
their failure to perform the necessary
ceremonial Of purifcation. In the dia-
logue which follows, which resembles
in some respects Matthew xxiii:25, the
Pharisee describes with considerable
fullness and detail the formalities he
has observed, whereupon Jesus delivers
an eloquent, crushing reply, contrast
ing outward with. inward purity.
