WHIPPING THEM IN.
TIE TARIFF BILL CONFERES SAY THERE IS
no MORE USE TALKING
And They Are Trying Their Persuasive Arts on the
Western Members Who Are for Free Twlne.
Metal and Glassware SChed-
ules Agreed Upon.

WASHINGToN, d. c.. September 23.-
The Republican conferes on the Tariff
bill were in session again this morning
for two hours before noon. After they
had separated it was said there was no
further progress TO report. The prin-
cipal items of difference are those
that have been obstacles like mountain
peaks in the way of agreement from the
beginning, sugar, binding twine, metals
and glassware. The key to the whole
situation is the sugar schedule.
Were an agreement reached
ON that. less than five minutes
would be required to settle all other
questions. II is expected, however, by
the House confereS that an agreement
will be reached before u o'clock tonight,
while ON the Senate side there is feel
lag that the situation is not quite so
favorable as 10 was last night. After
agreement is reached it will require at
least a day for the clerks to prepare the
report for presentation TO the two
houses, so that it probably will not go
into the House before Thursday at the
earliest.
The COnfereS have turned upon them
an the light that can be diffuSed upon
the only items in the bill now unset
tied, sugar and binding twine, and
when they adjourned at 6 o'clock this
afternoon, 10 was deemed best TO leave
them alone TO think the situation over
I'm the hope that by tomorrow one side
or the other will show a disposition TO
Weld. Those I'm favor of a duty on bind
ing twine have gone good ways, they
say, i'm cOnsenting TO avery much lower
duty than the present rate OF 81 cents,
and they now think il is time for the
free binding twine men TO abate some
thing at least of theirown demands.
An earnest effort i'm this direction is
making tonight by some OF the con-
lcreS and other leaders, who are en-
deayoring 20 secure the adhesion Of
the Western senators TO the bill with Il
small duty left on binding twine.
The basis on WHICH the metal and
glassware schedules, which have been
the cause Of much trouble, was settled
tonight. was that steel rails and Struc-
tural iron remain as in the House bill,
and the duty ON steel rails is fixed at a
rate lower than that provided for by .he
House. but higher than fixed by the
Senate. These were three of the princi-
pal items in this schedule in dispute.
The rates fixed on the other items
i'm the schedule cannot bee given, but
they are very generally lower than the
House and higher than the Senate rates.
This last statement applies also 10 ,hc
glassware schedule. ON which there

TALK on THE REFORMATION.
Rev. 4. VI. Fairbairn, of oxford Tells OF
Calvin and His Works.

The noted scholar and divine, Rev.
An. Fairbairn, principal Of Mansfield
College, oxford, England, lectured at
the First Presbyterian church on Chap
line street. last evening, before large
and fashionable audience, included
among which were many OF the well
known literary lights Of the city. Every
seat in the spacious interior OF the
sanctuary was taken, and extra seats
had TO be placed in the aisles 70 accom-
modatc the gathering.
At eight o'clock, Rev. ID. a. Cunning
ham, the pastor, in few well chosen
words, introduced the speaker OF the
evening. Mr.. Fairbairn in opening his
lecture spoke OF the various incidents
which led up TO the reformation, and re-
marked by way Of comparison that what
the renaissance was TO literature, the
reformation was to religion. After
referring TO the reformation and the
part taken I'm il by Luther, the speaker
came more directly to the personality OF
that other great name, Calvin. Calvin
father destined him for the fine theolog-
ical studies. being moved TO it by the
evidences afforded in his boyhood Of a
religions tendency, and perhaps also by
Shrewd apprehension OF the kind OF
pursuits i'm which he was most fitted 10
excel. After referring to the College
de La Marche, Calvin's first school. and
the able instructor. Maturn Cordier, Ia
whom this hero owed 50 much, Mr.. Fair
BARN went on 10 speak OF
his subsequent training at Col
lcge Montaign under Spanish guidance,
and also OF his counSels with Pierre
Robert Olivctan. the first translator OF
the Bible into French. 1t was through
him that Calvin first began TO study and
reason out the sacred volume. The eX
citement created by the publication OF
the Lutheran theses against indulgences
was then pictured, following which
came synopsis OF the work as taken
up by Calvin. In engaging In sucl
work Calvin appears TO have yielded tI
constraining sense OF duty rather than
90 have followed the bias OF his own in
clnationS, nor did he iniuSC
any OF the enthusiasm which
usually marks the young reformer Will
his addresses. He taught the truth,
not with affected cloQucnce, but with
such depth OF knowledge and 50 much
solid gravity of style that there was NOT
man who could hear him without be-
| ing rayishcd with admiration. ln.hi>
oath year he was already recognized as
at the head Of the reformation. Mr.
Fairbairn then referred to Calyin's
fayorite system Of church polity as
established NJ Geneva, and spoke of the
munifccnt work Of the great reformel
in that city, whereby further genera.
tions owe lasting obligations to the
name OF Calvin. The faith Of Calvin
was comprcheusiyely analyzed, and the
lecture throughout was rich in historical
and literary illusions. 1t was listened
/ To attcntivev throughout.

Soecial Telegram 10 The Register.
WAsHINGroN. PA, September pa
meeting Of the oil producers OF the
Washington oil field was held last night.
The object of the meeting was TO form
ulatc plans and adopt a course OF action
To pursue in competing with the Stand
ard Oil Company. An Independent pipe
line company will be organized and
strenuous efforts will be made by the
producers to protect their interests
from the encroachments of the stand
ard. \ committee was appointed TO
confer with other committees from the
Southwest field in regard to the CON
ccrted action OF all the producers OF
this field. The committee will report
i'm a few days and another meeting OF
the producers will be held.
The meeting was an enthusiastic one
and showed determination on the part
of the producers to resist any further
attempt on the part Of the Standard
people to impose on their rights.
The action taken by the oil men is
considered as a significant one. The
Standard Oil Company few weeks ago
reduced the premium on Washington
county oil from twenty-five to twenty
cents. The producers have been very
sore since, and considering this and
other outrageS have determined to make
a move towards defending their rights.
Among the prominent oil men present
were: jerome B. Aiken. John Preston,

TRIAL AT WOODSTOCK.
Tie Examination Of Peller, a Friend Of the Ac-

difference Shown by Brchall.
Court Crowded.

WooDsrocK, ONT. September %
The trial of .Birchel, for the
murder of Benwell, in Blenhelm,
was resumed to-day in the pres
ence Of a large number of spccta-
tors. The first witness was young
Peler, who was neatly dressed in
light clothes. lie answered promptly,
and seemed to desire TO tell all he knew
of the case. On crOsS-eXamination by
Mr.. Blackstock, no particular line seemed
to be followed, but points were taken
up here and there and dealt with.
Pcllcr stated, among other things, that
when Birchell and he had been practicing
signatures I'm the hotel, Of which Mr.
Osler made great point yesterday,
Birchell and was equally engaged in
this. Brchell also engaged i'm making
sketches. i'm which he is an adept. II
had been expected that Blackstock
would give Peller a hard time OF il on
cross-eXamination, but such was not the
case. and all were surprised when the
Young man was allowed TO stand down
after fifteen minutes or so Of cross
questioning. Evidently il was Mr..
BlackStock's purpose to use the evil
dence of Pcllcr as the basis for the
crosS-examination of other witnesses.
Charles Benwell, brother Of the mur-
dercd man, followed Peller. His testi-
mony in the main related to the identi-
iication of his brothers clothing and
other articles found ON the body. VIM.
Davis gave important evidence on the
distance from Eastwood station to the
place where the body was found. The
defendant will doubtless try to prove
that it was impossible to walk that dis
tance i'm the time at Birchell'S disposal
in that locslity on the day OF the muir
der. Adjournment was then taken for
dinner.
\ dense throng was gathered In front
OF the Court House as Birchell was
taken back to Jail. Carriages were
drawn up all around. many OF them
/ filled with ladies. Birchell stands the
scrutiny of the multitude well He does
not smile so much as he did at his Mag
ra Falls examination. but Is quite COM
posed, aud his Indifference is amazing.
