The president was informed that the canal commission had mpili a contract in Washington for three million feet of lumber and that all of this lumber waa to be shipped to the canal atrip in German bottoms, to the absolute exclusion of American vessels which were lying in Puget Sound waiting for business. Mr. Humphrey, who is a member of the merchant marine commission, said tliat forty American ships were lying idle in the waters of Washington, while the German ships were carrying the lumber to Panama. Bids had been submitted by both American and German vessel owners They did not very materially ae to the prices, but the German vessels were willing to rarry the lumber in broken cargoes, while the American boats wanted full cargoes. The pullers felt that the awarding of the contract to German vessel was a discrimination against American shipping which ought not to be sanctioned. The president promised to look into the subject. I a ter in the day Admiral Walker called and told the president the commit km had made its contract with the Bellingham Bay Lumber company for delivery, and that the commlMion had nothing whatever to do with the contract made for shipping the lumber. -- PLACED UNDER CIVIL SERVICE REGULATION.

IMPORTANT ORDER MADE The Election Commission Must Certify All Names and Votes Eighteen Men Are Now Serving Various Terms for Contempt Both Houses Will Now b Republican, Denver. Pec. 17. Tha aupreme court thia afternoon granted a motion made by John M. Waldron, one of the Republican attorney, asking the court to enter an order requiring the election commla4on to certify all the name and the vote on all the Jurtlrial. executive and legislative ofllcrc in tha mate canvaxvlng board. The wtMilt of thia order of the court, it is expected, will be that no more piwdnctn will be thrown nut and that any further action toward throwing out of illegal votes will be made in contest and before the state canvassing board In legislative matter and before the legislature concerning the office uf the governor, The supreme court, however, will continue to investigate the charges of iliaobedHmro of the court's orders and punish the men found guilty of content yL On Monday next the expert trill report on the condition of tha ballot box In pnertnet I, ward 4, which waa opened today. Since the supreme court began its trials for contempt ntnetean men have been sent eared to the eonnty jail for terms varying ftom three months to one year and In nearly every raee a fine ha also been Imposed. In one cbm the Judgment wee suspended but the other eighteen are serving their sentraces. Tlie action of the Supreme court in assuming the original Jurisdiction of a city election is raid to bs unequal in the annnla of law. Before the late election the Republican believing that grog frauds were contemplated In a number of wards usually strongly Democratic petitioned the state court to appoint watchers and issue an in Junction against any Interference with the watchers in 98 prertneta of Denver. Both parties submitted lists at names from which the watchers were to be chosen, but the court made lta selection from the Hat furnished by the Republicans. Similar Injunctions have been lasued and watchers appointed in the peat in Denver n two occasions, but in both cases the district court lasued the orders and the Injunctions were disregarded to great extent So far the Supreme court bee opened five ballot boxes and in each case gross fraud waa dinooverad. While it is expected no more precincts will be thrown out, it Is believed no mure boxes will be opened beside the one opened today and that they will form the basis of contests before the legislature. Already enough votes have been thrown out to insure n Republican majority in the Beoacs and the House had previously been declared Republican at the polls. On the county ticket now every Republican candidate stands elected except In the caaa of Assessor Alexander and Judge Ben Lindsay. The former appears to have shout 1,000 plurality and the latter was on both tickets. This may be an empty honor for the Republicans as the 8upreme court haa yet to pass upon the validity of the cases.

At First Considered a Periodical Outbreak but now Attracts Serious r. a AGAIN v London, Dm. 17. There haa been a rcmarkabl spread in tb religious revivals which were started at Boulton, Lancashire, September 16, of this year by Rev. Reuben A. Terry and Captain Chan Alexander, both of whom are from Chicago. Tlie first movement waa considered to tie only one of tha periodical outbreaks wblrh happens through England and Scot la uJ, but reports now that it is serious attract attention. The churches ere overcrowded on week daya and on Sundays at revivals Some of tha place! of worship will not accommodata thosa who wish to attend the people gather In halts and ia tha open streets. All rlaaeea are affected. No Kiich movement has been known in Wales during tha past half century . but tbe leader of the revival noting this fart point out that similar religious demonstrations have occurred at regular intervals of fifty years and cits a Instanraa 1750, 1800 and 1850. A noted difference between Welsh revivals and other rerival meetings is the foot that tbe proceedings are not conducted solely by those on tha platform. The leaders commence (ha service by prayed. Thu msraed congregations, however, do not follow this leadership, but individual or groups of individuals offer a prayer suggested by personal promptings until the whole Itecames a babal of Independent supplication. arc famous for The Welsh imopl their singing and nl times during tha meetings one of the leader commence a well known hymn, the congregation taking It up. The singing continues uninterrupted for hours. The effect of the revival movement Is noticeable everywhere and it i aald the public houses are almost empty. Formerly they were crowded with minora after the working hours. Tha origin of the remarkable religious upheaval ia traceable directly to tha Chicago revivalist. After their sucres In Lancashire the work waa taken up throughout Wains by several leaders. Now, however, one man baa risen head and shoulders above all tbe rest, until bin name ring throughout the United Kingdom ea the greatest revivalist of the day. He ie Evan Roberta, 28 years of ego, formerly a miner. Hie marvelous energy and vitality are evidenced by the fact tliat he goes from place to place, remain hig a few endays in each, sometime spending tire daya and night praying and singing, not alerplng and not resting. Roberta haa been Invited by the non of London to visit the onformists metropolis and conduct the meetings it is announced will commence in January. Rev.
