appointed conferees on the behalf of the
senate.
A bill authorizing the construction of a
bridge across the Missouri river at Yank-
ton, s. D passed. The vote BY which
the senate recently passed the bill in re-
gard to the collection OF the district of
Puget sound was reconsidered and the bill
recommitted to the committee of COM
merce. After an executive session and
the passage OF the post office building
bill. another lengthy executive session was
held and the senate adjourned.
The senate in executive session today
spent an hour discussing the BerinR sea
question. The matter came before the
senate in the shape OF a message from
President Harrison in reply to a resolution
requesting further information as to the
effect of pelagic sealing. The president
sent extracts from the official reports of
the Boring sea commissioners, showing
that contrary to Lord Salisbury's state
ment the British commissioners had con-
ceded hat the seals had diminished in
number by the hand of man, which. OF
course. meant largely through the acts of
poachers IN killing the seals at sea. The
message was laid before the senate and
Sherman moved its reference to the com-
mittee on foreign relations.
But the senate wished to hear the
extracts enclosed bv the president and
defeat the motion. The matter was read
in full and her followed a debate very
similar 10. character to those which
occurred last week. The point of differ
ence was to be seen in the strength shown
by the sentiment favorable to the protec-
ton of all claimed rights of the United
States in the Bering sea by all the re-
sources of the government pending arbi-
tration. Short speeches were made by
Sherman. Butler and Morgan of the COM
mittee on foreign relations and by Plat,
White and others. The papers were re-
ferred to the committee on foreign rela-
lions.

have undergone substantially no change In
tone and custom and belief during many
centuries. Moreover, the vast majority OF
them are poor and ignorant, and sociaiiy
they are widely separated from large
part OF their race Of long residence IN TINS

American party. does not disguise his con-

| therefore, is broad and irreconcilable. Inc
American party. rs represented by its eA-
treme members OF the type OF Rabbi wlsE'
are ready to give up distinguishing features
| OF Judaism which tho orthodox party re-
gard as Of Divine obligation. For instance
| the liberals are tolerant toward tho oblit-
| GRAFTON OF the race distinction by inter-
marriage. They are ready to forego tho
| initiatory rite in the case OF converts, ana
| they are favorable to tho observance 'of
Sunday rather than Saturday as day OF
rest and worship. holding that 80 long as
| the end liz secured It matters not whether
the Sabbath be the first or the last DAY OF
the week. especially as convenience and the
surrounding Christian custom make the
observance OF Sunday the more practicaoie.
Such disposition horritles tho orthodox
Jewish party. most Of whom have come
hither recently. and have brought with
them the old-tlme veneration for the dis
tipctiye Jewish law, ritual. belief. and GUS
toms. They are MS earnest IN their uncom-
promising orthodoxy as the other party ID
contemptuous Of them for clinging to IT..
Between the two there Is. OF course, con-
servatve body which probably is composed
OF the minority OF tho older Jewish resi-
dents who adhere to their religious faith
and retain their race prejudices.
It Is a very remarkable controversy. and
out OF It must come radical changes OF far
reaching consequence for the Jewish race
The separation Of the two parties is already
wide but 1t will grow wider. for tho prin-
ciples championed by Rabbi WISE lead
logically to tho obliteration OF distinctions
which have made the Jewish race pecu-
uar people throughout all past history.
Tho more precise features OF this great
controversy are outlined In an article which
we print elsewhere to-day.
