pressions of Milan and Venice.

subject of DR.. Arthur S. Phelps at the
Central Baptist church last night. Taking
as his text, 'They of Italy, salute you,"

cathedral is like dream in marble Two
thousand statues adorn the exterior. The
Italians make their architecture az orna-
mental as a jewel box.
"The first impression of Venice one Will
never forget. The 1900 houses and pal
aces are built on piles in the shallow
lagoons, two and half miles from the
shore. Spanning the one hundred and
fifty canals are three hundred and sew
enty-eight bridges.
"In this old palace in Florence, Savon-
arola, the monk, who overthrow the
dominion of the De Medici family which
had held undivided sway for three hun
dred years, was confined, and out of that
window over the door he was taken to the
pyre on which he was burned alive. In
this great Duomo he preached to enthusi-
astic thousands, who went out from his
sermons and burned the unworthy books
and pictures in this piazza. Exposed to
fourteen turns of the rack in one day,
with hot Goals applied to his feet. when
he was asked, In what spirit dost thou
bear this martyrdom?' he answered, The
Lord hath suffered so much for me-

PRESIDENT SENDS SPECIAL MES.
SAGE TO CONGRESS URGING
LEGISLATION.
DISCUSSES MEASURE NOW PENDING
DECLARES 1T TIME FOR THIS
COUNTRY TO DO ITS SHARE
OF CARRYING.

Washington. Jan. 24.-The president
has sent message to congress call
ing attention to the great desirability
of enactment of legislation to help
American shipping and American
trade by encouraging the building and
running Of lines Of large and swift
steamers to South America and the
Orient. The urgent need of our coun-
try's making an effort to do something
like it's share Of it's own carrying
trade on the ocean has been called to
his attention, the president says, in
striking fashion by the experiences of
Secretary Root on his recent South
American tour. State aid to steam
ship lines, the president says, Is as
much a part of the commercial system
of today as state employment of con
suls to promote business. The pres
ident says that the proposed law,
which has been discussed in congress,
is in no sense experimental. It is
based on the best and most successful
.precedents, as, for instance, on the
recent Cunard contract with the Brit
ish government. The president dis
cusses the bill now before congress
and says:
1T would surely be discreditable for
us to surrender to our commercial
rivals the great commerce Of the ORR
ent, the great commerce we should
have with South America and even
our own communication with Hawaii
and the Philippines"
