Irrigating, mining, free silver coinage and William J. Bryan were the conspicuous features of to day's session of the Transmississippi Con gress. The congress had been in session for a half hour when William J. Bryan burst upon the scene, and his appearance provoked an enthusiastic, demonstration. He spoke briefly, avoiding reference to the financial question, and was evidently suffering fatigue from his two weeks of Incessant speech-making.

He presided, as president of the congress, during the remainder of the day. The. resolutions committee' reported five resolutions, among them a substitute for the silver coinage resolution presented yes terday by C. S. Thomas, of Denver.

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS. San Pedro Brextw-tter. Agin Controversy in the Senate. Emphatic and Personal Exchange Batwi Stewart and "White Harris Paoifta Railway Resolution Still Pending Hons Adjourns Without Transacting Business. WASHINGTON.

D. 15. Mr. Stewart moved in tha Senate to-day a reconsideration of the action of tha Senate ta passing tha resolution tha Secretary of War to proceed in the conatruotiom a breakwater at San Pedro, CaL It reopened the long standing controversy over the location of a deep-water harbor on the Pacific coast, and led to an exciting debate between Mr. Stewart and Mr.

Whits, California, Mr. Stewart argued that the original law provided for a deep-water harbor to coat about (3,000,000, while tha Inquiries of tha Secretary of War disclosed that tha break, water would cost this sum, while tha entire harbor would cost about $3,300,000. Mr. White answered that government aa. gineers had reported that the breakwater would give a harbor of commerce, and la addition to this there waa an toner harbor available.

It was rather surprising, Mr. White added, that tha Senator from Nevada', who presumably represented the people of his state, and not of California, shoull Interfere in this question. This 'stirred up a hot personal contest. With evident agitation, Mr. Stewart declared that he resented the intimations made.

He had a light as a 8enator to adopt such course as he desired, and he had no personal interests to servg such as those who represented terminal railroads. Ha did not propose to drag in such questions. Mr. White responded that as far at terminal railroads were concerned he did riot' represent any of them. He represented California, and In this question he had the concurrence of his colleague from California, the California delegation in Con- ress and the people of the state, and they elt they attend to the interests of the state without the assistance of the Senator from Nevada.

"It is rather singular," proceeded Mr. White, "that when we have; a matter affecting the Southern Pacific vRallroad the Senator from Nevada steps In and attempts to do the duty of a Senator from California, Only one Inference can be deducted, that the -Senator does not represent any constituency whatever in this matter. The peo- Mr. Stewart had remained on his feet, and in Indignant tones answered: "1 resent this charge, this criticism. I am here as a Senator of Nevada.

I do not allow private Interests to affect my vote or my can do right, notwithstanding the Southern Pacific or anybody else in connection with it. 1 do not oppose r-erythlng that comes up that may benefit the Southern Pacific or tho Northern Pacific, or the people at large, I do not hold up any man or corporation I hata aa a red flag against legislation." The Senator called on Mr. White to show anything in his course in the Senate to warrant such criticisms.

I believe in the enthusiasm of numbers; "as iron1 sharpeneth iron, so a man sharpen- etb the countenance of bis friend," and such a nost or inenas ougnt to mane our races very bright.

I am glad because it seems to be becoming fashionable to be religious. These hosts of young men are living down the old isneer, "that religion is for women, and children." They are the world that there Is notning more manly than a sincere tend earnest love for Christ: they are challenging the Infidel to call the Chris tian man ettemmate. it is true tnat you can notbe more pure, or more unselfish, or more Gbd-fearing, or get more good of any kind in jyour heart, without being more like the average woman: but our Baotist Younir Peonle are Droving that this' does not make a man less strong or courageous, less able to cope with difficulties, or less willing to lift burdens! The wore or tnis organization is one or burden-lifting In all lts departments. The members are lifting the, burdens in the local society. associational work of evangelization and education is being carriea rorwara wltn earnestness.

The states are laboring to extend the cause in their own and the national society has done a work; in its six years of history that would be miraculous if it was not the work of a divine leader.i This organization is to teach the young Christian of this generation that to be saved is not all there is of salvation; that there are possibilities of service within him that culture may develop and that It Is his privilege not oniy to enmo up nimseir into the kingdom of heaven, but that he may be nermitted that sweetest iov known on earth, the Joy of leading souls to Christ. It teaches him to love not simply manliness, but mefi! to see in everv human beine. how ever low upon the scale of merit, a possible jewek of eternity. It is for the promotion of trns work that we have met to-day. I am grateiui ror tne -reiiowsnip i see vmir faces.
