Shobcr of North Caiolltm Is also an
aspirant. Mr. Sliober was a member of tbo
Vorty-llrst and Forty-second congresses and
was chief clerk of tbosonato in IhTO , when a
deadlock arose over reorganization. Senitor
l lmunds flnally unlocked the standstill by
projioslng to make Kbobcr secretary pro
tcm of the senate. Ho was elected and held
tbo place until Senators Muhono and Kiddle-
larger oted with tbo tepublltans and tbo
scnatowns rcorgunlred and General Anson

Chalmers of Tcxns Major Cbaltnets was a
gallant confederate soldier and is Intensely
IKipuIar with that element In conprcss Ho is

It iooks-ut this tlmo us though the contest
for scrgeunt-at-innis of the senate would bo
short and decisive The contestants are
Colonel lUchurd Hi Igbt of Indiana and Cap
tain H. II S Hassler of Vilginla. Colonel
Bright held tbo ofllce for a number of jears ,
up till , ISsy , when the republicans captured
the prize , Ho is bejond doubt tbo most ac
complished of tbo many men who have held
that position In many j cars Ho is intensely
popular. Captain Hussler vvas appointment

Iduit Cleveland , and Is an untiled man

bousoof representatives It Is tbo custom
to not honor men but tw Ice for tbo saino
ofllcu lit tbo house. These holding the
present reins bavo held them four i cars.
The Inference , tbctefore , Is that they will
bo ousted when tbo house convenes anew
next fall or Dec ember. If custom Is not fol

WASHINGTON , D. C. , Jon. 22. The back
ward state of tbo annual nppiopri.itIon bills
has Impressed itself upon congress. Tbo
scnato Is chargeable with tbo greatest delay -
lay In this respect. Not DUG of tbo bills has
yet passed that body , although tbo bouso
has sent over tbrco which are ready for
action. It Is tbo general expectation that
the null-option bill ill comotoavoto before -
fore tbomlddloof this weak , and then tbo
appropriations committee will piobably take
the load , beginning witb tbo foitlllf.itIons or
war approjutations bills , and following
with tno others as rapidly as they
can bo rcixirted. Thoio may bo a sus
pension of tbo order In this respect
long enough to allow debate and action upon
tbo Chcrokeo outlet bill , seine Interstate
lOinmorco bills and ono or two other meas
ures , which tbo committee on order of busi
ness may deculo to call up , but itono of these
aio likely to bo of such a nutuio to arouse
any nurty feeling. That w 111 probably mani
fest itself in tha executive sessions duting
the week In connection \\ith the MeComas
nomination , which Is the unfinished busi
ness when tbo senate closes its doois. Tues
day , by uotlco alteudy given , tbo scnato will
listen to eulogies upon the late Senator Bar-
bour of Virginia. .
Tbo silver repeal bill Is the unknown
quantity Jn all calculations as to business of
tho'scnatc , and it may bee omo the Uvo Issue
at any tlmo upon motion of a senator to ipro-
ceod to its consideration , but at this tlmo
no such purpose is openly oxpicsbod.
The probabilities aio that the house , dur
ing the coming vv eok , w ill also occupy Itself
largely with the dcliijnd appropriation bills
and will make un effort to catch up w Ith the
recon ! of picn ious shot t sessions of eongtcss
ori these supply bills.
Monday is District day under the rules ,
but Mr. Holman Intends to call up the
sundry elv 11 bill on * that duv and to ask the
District to glvo way. The Totrov bank
ruptcy bill Is tbo special older for Tuesday
and Wodncsduy , but the order gives appro
priation bills precedence and , therefore , the
bankruptcy bill vv 111 have to i leld the lloor
to appropriations.

midst of a serious local war for the past

the village board for a saloon things were
rnit with u high band , In splto of tbo law
and public sentiment , until last night , when
a mob was organized which raided the Joint
and dcstrojcd and carried awuj Its contents ,
and also badly demoralized the building
Public sentiment Is very strong against

If nny one , cither In Uttrnpo or Amor-

live in this oulinai'ily quiet imrt of the
world think of the iiliiotoonth century
civilisation anil jn'o rosa , writes Edward
Ilnldiine , from .InlTu , to the St. Louis
Republic , ho would find right heroin
this old part of Palestine u most oin-
plnitic and unaniinoiH answer. For
many months .lalTa has been In a uttito of
Bupjiiossod e.xcltomont. From the win
dow of any lodging culled by the
wildest sketch of oourto-sy a hotel I
have seen the narrow streets of the old
Seagate town swarming with agitated
crowds , broken up into compact little
groups , all enorgetleallj discussing in a
multiplicity of tongues the wondeifnl
events that are now taking place under
their vor.v e.v > s and , I might add , then
noses ali-o , for your eastern cosniopolitu
has a rare faculty for forioting out
strange odors , in spite of the fact that
ho has an abundance to contend with at
homo. Ken the usually imperturbable
olive-skinned e.ifigoh who borvos inj
l > realcfast betrays Ills excitement as ho
brings a bit of icdbot chaicoal for my
moiiniiig narghileh ' " calling my atten
lion to u olititterin } ' ' party of now arriv. tils
in the street below , who have evidently
halted to difcctiHS the universal topic.
It is the sumo everywJiore ; in the lurger
cafes aswoll ( is in those little wooden
nITairs whoio the muleteers and camel
drivers lOMirt , among dervishes , mer
chants , strangers , pilgrims and fella
heen , the ono absorbing subject of
which they speak with uwo and wonder
ment , incredulity and nppieheiHion is
the railroad.
As for the citizens of Julia themselves ,
many of them stoutly declare that n sec
tion of the millennium has c'limo with
llio loe'omolivo's whistle , and they aio
delighted beyond expro ihm at the now
ptospcct of a levival of the ancient pros
perity of their old tjvvn vv hlch for dog *
hand and ditt bfands without a thai this
bide of Egypt. It would bo an insignifi
cant place wcio it not for its command
ing sea ft out , which gives it advantages
over any poi t east of Aloxandiia. It
crowns the crest of a bill foi mud bv
shelving limestone , nek and tmd , and
its env irons arc attrnetiv e enough , w ith
their hedges of prickly peats , their
orange and olive groves and fruit
guidons. But , the streets are like so
many 111111 ow tunnels and steep stair-
wajs an odd packing-box of a town , full
of allots cornels and cul-de acs , the
tin eading of which is done at the risk
of breaking one's limbs.
1 111) I'rnln of .lallli ,
But the real life of Julia is in the pub-
1L ; squaie or common , just outside the
town pioper. There , the donkej boy ,
the booths , the pilgiims , the fruit ven-
dois and the long string of loaded c.tmols
belonging to some caravans on the
toad to Egypt ate to be found. In the
immediate vicinity stands the pride of
Jaffa , the now lailread depot , which v\as
foimally opened latolywith imposing
ceiemonics by the governor of Jerusa
lem , Ibiahim Hakki Pasha. A gland
banquet followed the opening , and the
sult.m's special envoy , who liad been
sent on with an eye to business and to
see that the terms of the concession wci o
osorvcd , was a- leading guest. The
cnginecis of the new road , who
made the burvoys and diiectod the build
ing opeiations , aio nearly all Kuiopeans ,
of course. Not in generations has .TalTu
seen a day such as that upon which the
now raihoad was ollloially opened for
passenger tiafllc. It was curious to ob
serve with what dilToient ejos the vari
ous nationalities regarded the enter
prise. The Turkish ollleials , homowhat
aeeustomhd to contact with western
ideas , looked at it as a source of pros
pective revenues and peiquisitcs , of
coufso for your oriental functionary is
continually watchful of opportunities to
improve his finances at the expense of
travelers and strangeis. The towns
men , Syrians , Moslems and otheib
went in crowds to the depot and
thcio inspected with wondering
eyes the pulling engine and its tender ,
and remarked in superstitious anuv/e-
mont how the machine moved apparently
of its own aecoid and drew the heavy
cars after it. . As it moved off at guul-
uully increasing speed and with a shrill
blast of the whistle , the women who
stood at a respectful distance diow their
veils tighter and shrieked in alarm ,
while the Aiabs who stood bvthe engine
scampoicd oil' in alarm. The Jews of
Jaffa hold the thing to bo acreatmoof
the devil and would not come near it.
Through tlin I'liiln of Slmron.
FiomJafTa to Jerusalem , by rail , the
distance is a little o\or ! tj inifos and the
trip occupies nearly tin ee hours and a
half. Through a lovely upon country
the road enters the famous plain of
Sharon , and as the train rushes along ,
the heids of sheep , goats and camels
ate seen scattering on every side. In
the distance the little village of Bethc
Dagon is baiely visible ; it is not
of sufllriont importance to wariant a
depot. As wo pass it ono can't ' help
thinking of the ilsh god of the ancient
Philistines which once had its headquar
ters there. Past gaidens and gwnos wo
ride smoothly till Raniloh comes into
view , nestling among its olive planta
tions and with its ono piomlnent struc-
tuie "Tho tower of the Forty Martyrs"
standing out boldly against the pale
blue sky. Hamloh u an old crusader
stronghold w ith a crowded history of
war , slaughter and conquest. Its lofty
tower tradition declares to have been the
scene of a massacio , but whether of
Christians or Moslems is uncertain ,
since both claim to have boon the v lo-
tlms of a dark and bloodj tragedy lieio.
The tide of battle has rolled about its
base from the days of Joshua to these of
Richard the lion-hearted and of Na
poleon. On the plain from Humloli the
country Is still infested by robbois. but
the advent of the railroad will make the
ancient and bonoiablo occupation of l
" ' " man , like tliatoldiiigoman also ,
much less tcmunaiativo than befoio.
Tbo next stop is at Ljddn , or , as it is
now commonly called , Ludd , wlune tbo
apostle Peter and his friends once lived.
Wo reach it through bund bunos and llnd
it a dirty little place Hurroundcd with
ornngo groves. Fi om the car windows
ono can descry tbo ruins of tbc church
erected ages blnco in honor of St. George ,
only tbo arch and the pillars now 10-
malnlng of the once flno structiue. *
A few passengers stop off for a moment
at the little wooden donot , but their
artistic contemplation of the heights of
Ajalon and tbo distant Judcaii moun
tains is cut short by the whlstlo and
snort of the restless locomotive.
Frightening the IsnllTCi ,
Puffing past Lyddu and scattering in

But this road is merely the precursor
to the gioat tallway system that is now
picpaiingto glidle the Iloli Land from
north to south. A Fionch company has
wined a collection for a line from
j Boyrout to Damascus , and has alieady
begun operations for the construction of
a nariow gauge road. An English s.ndi . -
cato is now bulldingaiailwav from Haifa
to Damascus , and this will i > o the most
important section of the system. The
distance assurxeycd is about seventj-
fhe miles. Stinting from Haifa , with a
shoit eight-mile branch mound the
famous IJtij of Acieto Akka , this load
will inn along the northern base of the
long elevated range of Carmel ; thence
to the Plain of Esdraolon. and , proceed
ing not theasterlj , the vallev east of
Na/m-oth and passing the villages of
Nuin , Jcuiec'l and lloimin It is quite
piobablo that a blanch may bo run to
Nimuoth , which is a favoi if < > ie ort of
pilgrims. Leaving Mount Tabor it will
ti avoi so the Plain of Butthauf and 01 os-s
the river Jordan on a trestle near the
point known as Majameh , the bridge of
meeting , whore the Little Joi dan joins
the great river. The line will here
skill the southeiii shot oof the Sea of
Galilee for a brief distance and then run
almost without acunoalongtho westein
border of the famous wheat region ,
called in bible times the Plains of
Bashan and now know as the Hauran ,
the southern gate of Damascus It will
bo about IL'O miles long and mustpio\o
of the gieatest advantage to the
commercial and agriciiltuial in
terests of the country , opening
these vast wheat fields to the iimi-
kets of the seabuid and developing a
section of Sjiia iich iu mines and in
giain , cotton , wool , silk , aloes and tiopi-
cal fiuits , and which only aw ails such an
enterprise to become an inipoi taut factor
in the food supply of the oust.

The cost of this Damascus road will be
about $10,000,000. As a supplement to
this new load and a prospective feeder
bth ' to It and to the He. } lout line , a Bel
gian eompanj is pushing work on a road
fiom Damascus , a distance of scventv-
live miles , into the heart of the grain
district of the Human. These reads will
ultimately bo extended to the Vallej of
the Kupluntcs and thus , befoio the < -on-
turj dies , civili/alion and commerce will
have pushed their icsistless vvuj into
that mystical land so long neglected as
t'lj ' bo well-nigh forgotten , and w Inch is
believed to have been the cradle of the
human lace.
But thcio is still another part of the
Holy Land , further south than any jot
mentioned , c whoio the pickax of the
navvy and the hammer of thoiionwotkor
aio waking the ochres of the histoilo
hills and vales. The .lulla load is to
have a bianch to Ga/a , in ancient Phil-
istia , ami this will continue down to
KJ'l'ti { ' with its probable ten minus at
Pot t Said. This latter road w ill tap the
the gioat giain-piodueing legion of
Southcin Palestine and Upper Kg pt.

As a result of all this railroad build
ing the whole of Syria'is now experienc
ing such a ' 'boom" as has never before
been felt in the e.ist. A now life is bo-
for Palestine , and this fact is
wing leoogni/cd in a most prm'tic.ilwuy
by many Europeans who aio making In-
vcslmenls in lands hero , Building
bchomes on a largo scale are talked of
and thoio is in prospect an eaily and lit
eral fulfillment of the prophecies iclalivo
to the restoration of the wast places and
the building up of Jerusalem , for with
such a network of railways on every
baud the ancient capital of the Jewish
kings is alieady giving signs of feeling
the impetus of modern enterpiiso and
pi ogi ess.
The harvests of the Hauran whoio

Damascus , which adds 50 per cent to the
cost. ( 'aravans from Damascus , which ,
with its population of . ' 100,000 , is thooom-
moi oial center of Syria , travel through
Mesopotamia , by the Tigris and

and to the most distant pai ts of Aiabiiv ,
Africa and Egypt
] t Is impossible to foicshadow , oven in
the faintest degi ee , the great changes
that must follow the nowicglmo In these
ancient , countries. Daman-its , ' The
Pearl of the East , " hitherto dilllciilt of
access to tiavclers , will become an
Asiatic countci part of Paris or Lou don
Old history itself , its lebirth will dif
fuse f now life and energy into its sur
rounding peoples with whom its mei-
chants have iclatlons. The west , which
di ow its life and Intellect fiom the cast ,
is now lupuying the debt of the ages bj
a vlvifving ti tins-fusion that sots the
future 01 these oriental lands aglow with
hope. Ono i ecalls the poetical idea of
Matthew Arnold , who pictuius the east
as a sago holding himself superior to the
young and bustling west , and who , tiicd
of the i ush and roar of the tempest that
comes to disturb his peace fiom that
quarter , shuts his ears and with bowed
head loturns to his contemplative mood.
But alas ! the sagof now that ho has
listened to the seductive rattle of the
