sound, but, listening intently,
there is surge-half feeling, half
sound-as of the waves of time
breaking against the Rock that is
Peter. 1t rises and falls, till ones
heart catches the rhythm, and one
is very proud and very humble
to be child of the Church. We
heard Mass in the Choir Chapel
one day, in the chapel of the
Blessed Sacrament another, and
at St. Peters tomb in the Crypt,
a third. If St. Peters is the heart
of the Christian world, it surely
is the soul of Rome.
Every day of our stay in the
Eternal City was a day of pill
grimage. We visited many
churches, and every one had
spiritual charm for us. The cha
pei of the Children of Mary in
the church of St. Agnes appealed
to us all; adjoining it was the
small church of Santa Costanza,
dating back to the time of Con-
stantine. We knelt in Santa Ma
ria Maggiore, the Church of Our
Lady of the Shows, and felt very
proud as Benezio pointed to the
gilded ceiling which was enriched
with the first gold brought from
America in the confessio are pre-
served the relics of St. Matthew
and here, too, are treasured sew
eral pieces of the true Manager OF
Our Lord. When we reached
San Pietro in Vincoli we found
that the privilege awaited us OF
kissing the chains of St. Peter, ex-
posed for veneration on August
Ist. In the transept to Our right
cleaned Michael Angeles great
statue of Moses, to which we paid
admiring tribute before leaving
the church.
But who could enumerate the
treasures of Rome? We visited
SAINT Agostino, with its tomb of
St. Monica; Santa Croce, with it's
precious relics of the Passion
Santa Maria Sopra Minerva, that
beautiful monument of Christian
triumph over paganism, with its
relics of St. Catherine of Siena ;

Drew Sounds Warning Against
Commingling of Races

SACRAMENTO, Feb. 14-Assembly-
man A. NJ. Drew of Fresno in a sermon
preached at the Central Methodist
Episcopal church in this city tonight
spoke in part as follows:
The history of the world teaches
that commingling of the white and
yellow, or the white and black races.
always brings the white race down and
never brings the yellow or the black
up. 1t results in a shiftless, worthless
mongrel race that the world does not
want.
The Japanese are fastening them
selves to our soil. If the Japanese
comes the white man must go. The
two races can not live together |
say to you, don't permit them to live
in our midst: don't permit them to
take our land; don't permit them to
drive out our people"

tum sent to the Sacramento Valley de-
velopment association by members OF

Even should the California Legislature
appropriate a large sum for the deep
ening of the river members of the Call
fornia delegation say that it will be
impossible to get any appropriation
from congress until next winter.
Accepting this dictum as final those
who are back of the movement for
deepening the river and making it ac-
cessible for seagoing boats as far as
tention to the legislature in the hope of
securing large appropriation from

delegation will be able TO secure recog-
milton at Washington. Without such an

Price introduce q resolution adding an
other senator to the commission, but
this Price refused to do.

1t was in the extraordinary session

a state building was passed and signed
by former Governor Pardee.
To a commission consisting Of the
governor. the attorney general and

Every morning she has appeared in the
senate gallery and has sat alone in a
particular seat. Her striking appear
ance and the air of mystery that be-
came associated with her somber gar
ments and her attitude of aloofness
from everybody and everything earned
her the nickname of the woman in

refused to pay. The woman in black
is Mrs. Louise c. Hovey of Los Angeles.

bered in San Francisco and Los An

Cogswell painted two portraits, one
OF Lincoln and the other of Mckinley.
both of which are hung in the capitol.
He died without receiving recompense
for his work. The portraits are speak

ereign and Princess Beatrice
Is Projected
AIfonso's Visit to Lisbon for the
Purpose of Considering
the Match

LISBON. Feb. tt.--Although not yet
confirmed in official quarters, the en-
tire press of Portugal states that the
royal interview between King Al
fonso and King Manuel related chiefly
to the projected marriage of King Man
uel to Princess Beatrice, daughter of
the lake duke Of Edinburgh and niece
OF King Edward Such a marriage. in
addition to meeting with the approval
of the entire Portuguese royal family,
is favorably commented upon by the
whole country and the press. the opin-
ion being that it would greatly
strengthen the friendship between
Great Britain and Portugal and consol-
idate British influence in the whole pc
ninsula.
Great interest has been aroused in
the banquet and ball to be given Feb
ruary II by Sir Francis Villiers, British
minister to Portugal in honor of King
Manuel. This is taken as giving
strength to the report of closer union
between the two countries, through
marriage, notwithstanding official de-
malls
1t is believed that the meeting of the
two sovereigns related also to a mu-
tually beneficial alliance between Spain
and Portugal with the acquiescence
of King Edward.
