THE TRIUMPH OF FAITH.

IF in LIES morning I am strong,
And much of God l see,
The secret Of all is this
Christ lives-and lives in me.
If youth be past, and manhood blooms
In strength and energy,
IT'S only as I grasp the fact

If age with weakness comes apace,
And feeble steps may be,
Still age can live upon this staff

Should death approach, and I be called

This truth shall make Inc victor then

Till every stage of being pass'd

FIGHT Is WAGED
IN THE HOUSE ON
SPEECH OF SULZER
Important Decision In Railway Gas,
l. Handed Down by Supreme
Court OF the Country.

WASHINGTON, March % Scenes
ont OF the ordinary were enacted in
the house today because of charge
made by Mann that Sulzer had put in
the Congressional Record what pur-
ported to be a speech delivered by
him last Saturday but which Mann
charged was not the one delivered
All he had to do with Suffers claim
was that he and not Mann was au-
thor of legislation which brought the
department of commerce and labor
into being. The resolution offered
by Mann to expungc the printed
speech from the record was adopted
by n strict party vote, but not until
after the house had been treated to
Ia bitter accommodation of Mann by
Sulzcr and several lively Tits he
tween the latter and the speaker.
Sulzer characterized Mann as
petty Jogging lawyer, mean and con-
temptible." for which he was called
to order with an admonition in such
language as could not be used toward
another member. Twice afterward in
seeking to justify his claim to the
authorship he was interrupted by the
speaker with a similar warning. An
ticipatng his speech would be ruled
ont as a way of getting it back into
the Record, Snlzer resorted to a piece
of strategy by trying to have his
speech read and later endeavored TO
read it himself. but the speaker in
|sistcd he could only address himself
TO the resolution to expunge
Smarting under he action of the
Republicans. Sulzer for the first time
posed as an obstructionist He OBJ
iected to all unanimous consent of
proposition and halted the proceed
ings Of the house for a considerable
time by the point of no quorum.

ures relating to the District of Co.

best claims in the territory were
taken by Seattle people under the
desert land entry, and declaration
concerning their method of irrigat-
ing and retaining the same was
from this imaginary ditch to be talk
en- from the Yakima river.
Later the lands were withdrawn
from further entry by order of the
reclamation service, and surveys and
estimates were made by the govern
ment to effect what is known as the
Palouse project, it being the intention
of the government to bring the Pa
louise river on to these lands. During
this survey land entries made were
considered valuable, and were soon
sold and disposed of by the Seattle
men for a godly sum. The Palouse
project was subsequently abandoned
by the government and the assignees
OF the first claimants found them
selves and their reclamation project
hopelessly abandoned, and forced to
hold their entries and to do their pre-
liminary work under discouraging
circumstances, which actuated many
of them to make false and fraudu-
lent annual proof affidayits, and may
be the cause of serious trouble for
some of them. 1t is to these mat
tiers, among others, that the special
agents are now giving their atten-
ton. The lands are valuable when
watered, and by reason thereof they
still have a considerable value.

SENATOR WILLIAM J. E3YsHN.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Unit-
ed States Senator William James Bry-
an of Florida died at Providence hos
pital at $3.50 yesterday morning of
typhoid fever. 1t was only seventy
three days since he took his seat as
successor of the late Senator Stephen
r. Mallory, who died December 23,
and twenty-three days of that time
were spent in his fight against dis
ease.
Several times during Mr.. Bryant's
illness his friends despaired of his re-
covery, but as late as Saturday night
the report was given out that his con-
dition had taken turn for the
better. His death, therefore, came as
surprise and a distinct shock.
In physique Mr.. Bryan was unfit
ted to withstand a protracted fever.
He was slight of build and of nervous
temperament. He came to Washing
ton in January from the warm cli-
mate of Florida, and from the day OF
his arrival was far from well. Final
~ he was compelled to give up. and
was taken to Providence hospital.
During the last few days of his i'll

COR1 IS IN CITY
THEATRICAL MAGNATE PLANS
FOR BIGGEST SEASON EVER
On His Way to New York City.
Where He Will Start Next
Seasons Business.

John Cort, owner Of the Yakima
theatre and theatrical magnate of
the northwest, was in the city Tues
day on his way to New York City,
where he will start preparations for
his next seasons business.
Despite the fact that the past year
has been dead one" for things the
atrical and many productions of
merit which during ordinary years
would have pulled down the money
have found their way to the grave
yard, Mr.. Cort is planning on one OF
the most extensive seasons work IN
his career.
All of his stars will be given
vehicles of the highest order He
will open his new theatre in Chicago
and intends giving the northwest
circuit better service than ever be-
fore.
His house here will be well cared
for in the line of attractions, and all
of his best will be put on. One Of
Mr.. Cort's Zig feats this year will be
a gigantic revival of "The Alaskan"
This does not mean that the new
Alaskan will be the same as the Nd.
1t will be revised, made better In
every way. and will have an entirely
new cast. with the exception of Ed
ward Martindell. who made the one
big hit of the show from New York
to Seattle with his Totem Pole song.
Florence Roberts will be given a
new piece being written for her now,
and the Figmans will be we'll pro-
vided for.
Mr.. Cort is particularly anxious
to make big hit with "The Alas
kan" In event OF Its success during
the coming season II will be put on
at the Moore theatre in Seattle dur
ing 1909 for an all summer run as
an attraction standing for much the
same to the AY.-P. fair that Amer
lea did at the Columbian Exposition
in Chicago.
Mr.. Cort woull not elucidate
much on all of his plans. but 1t Is
known he will ne interested more
heavily in the theatrical business
next year than he has been before,
despite the knocks Of the October
panic.

WANT GOOD SERVICE
KICK MADE ON THE
SCHEDULE OF NORTH COAST
Declared That Passenger Facilities
Are by No Means As
They Should BE.

Complaint is being made at Ken
newick regarding the train service
OF the Northern Pacific. and the town
may again resume the fight to have
the North Coast train stop there An
ordinance was passed some time ago
requiring a 10-mle run through tho
town limits. This was regarded for
a short time. but the engineers are
said to have now disregarded the
speed limit. The council is trying
to devise some means to make the
crews obey the ordinance. and sys-
tematic campaign of arrests is being
discussed.
The fact that the North Coast does
not stop between Pasco and North
Yakima leaves this long strip Of
country without adequate service.
From 1895 a. m. until 500 p. M,
nearly / hours, there is no way 10

but this mode of travel has now been
denied the public.
The town of Kennewich has put UP
systematic fight to have the North
Coast stop there. kennewicll is Just
across the river from Pasco. The
latter town is the division headquar-
ters. 1t is also the junction with the
Washington & Columbia River line,
which carries traffic to Wala Walla
and points in that territory, It is
said the connections with that coun-
try are Inadequate
Complaints of cold waiting rooms

made to start a fire. but ii was not
until a few minutes before the $40

room was comfortable. The matter
of keeping the waiting room in a
comfortable condition is one of that
