of tlio remarkable, find of papyri lis a

tho sixth century, A. I). They com
prise all claases of literature, many
fragments of tho lost or even unknown

Tho most important find is a vellum
leaf containing 45 lines of gospol which
lias a variation from tho authorized

Jesus and his disciples to tho templo of
Jerusalem and thoir meeting there with
tho Phariseo, who rebukes them for
their failure to jierform tho necessary
ceremonial of purification. In tho dia
loguo which follows, which resembles
in some respects Matthow xxill:25, the
Phariseo descriles with considerable

Every agency of tho government, In
cluding tho Interstate Commerce com
mission, tho Hecret'riervlee, the Federal

During tho hearing hero yesterday a
gllmpso of the real ower behind the

government land agents that they had
been comcllcd to see Senator Francis
K. Warren regarding olllcial business
of tlio Land detriment. Senator War

was his influenco and that of Senator
Clark which secured tho appointment,
during President MflKlnley's adminis

since he was regularly named by the
republican votera for the office,
We oppoced Mr. Dourne during the

Second That he Is a traitor and.

Third That he could not be depanoV

If he had been a loyal and consistent
republican he would not have deserted
his party In the hour of Its dire dis

populism overohadowed the country In
