WASHINGTON, Feb. THE meeting
of the National Wool Growers associa-
ton, called to attempt to defeat the free
wool provisions of the Wilson tariff bill,
began yesterday morning. Immedi-
ately after the opening of the meeting a
committee was appointed to draw up
petition addressed to the finance COM
mittee OF the senate asking for hear
ing on the wool schedules of the Wilson
tariff bill.
Hon. VIM. Lawrence, of Ohio, presi-
dent of the association, presided.
Among the members of the association
already here are: Ex-senator Francis
e. Warren, of Wyoming; David Harp
ster and Dwight Fuller, of Harpster,
o.; j. w. Howell, of Indi-
annapolis, Ind, editor of the Interna-
ticnal Sheepman; William III. Heriott,
OF Federal, Pa, president of the Penn
sylvania Wool Growers association;
Capt. A. E. Shepard, of Austin, Tex;
Hon. j. A. Mcconnell, of Elk Grove,
CAL; w. II. Baker, of Portland, Ore:
A. g. Beale, of San Francisco, ard
Frank j. Hegart, of Idaho, secretary of
he association.
The following preamble and reSolu-
ton was presented to Chairman Voor-
hees of the senate committee on finance
by delegation OF wool growers:
WHEREAS, The National Wool Growers as
sociation. representing an industry in which
are deeply interested and engaged 100000
people of the United States, owning and
tearing for 100000 sheep, with di-
rectly invested capital OF over 500, 900 900
and indirect investment of $500, 000,O 900 more,
are DESTROYS of being heard in the interest
of the sheep and wool industry. which. it is be-
1ieved. is seriously threatened-even to COM
plete annihilaton-by proposed legislation, j.
e., the Wilson bill, so-called now in the senate
finance committee; therefore. be it
Resoired That the association respectfully
requests that a time be set apart and a date
soon given in which we may appear, through a
committee duly appointed, to present our cause
for the consideration of the honorable commit
tee on finance of the senate.
In reply to the petition Senator Voor-
hees said that the committee had de-
termined to give no verbal hearings,
and it would not be possible to make
an exception in the case of the wool
growers. He suggested that the asso-
citation submit a written statement.
The members of the association will
stay in this city for n week or more,
and probably endeavor to influence
senators personally, being denied for
NAL hearing.

Probable Re-Establishmento OF Such q Mill
tary Division.

tary Division.
WASHINGTON, Feb. THE re-estab-
lishment of the military department of
the south, with headquarters at At
lanta. Ga. is thought to be one of the
probabilities of the near future. The
southern senators and representatives
are earnestly advocating the PROPOSE
ton. They have secured the indorse-
ment of Secretary Lamont and Gen.
Schoield and now need only the APP
prevail of the president to put the
plan into effect. Many army Of
ficers believe that the establish
ment of a department of the
south would result in increased inter-
est on the part of the southern MEM
bers of congress in the welfare of the
military service. Representative Liv-
ingston, of Georgia, speaking of the
subject, said that there was little or no
doubt that the proposition would be-
come an accomplished fact in Novem-
Der next. Upon the retirement of Gen.
Howard, in whose command the de-
partment of the cast is now included,
and out of which it is intended to make
the department of the south. 1t is not
thought proper to decrease the size or
Importance of Gen. Towards command
while he is on the active list.

themselves with the Nolan family and
threaten if DR.. Nolan is injured to ex-

DE-. Nolan was promptly acquitted on

The Act Repeating the Federal Election
Laws Signed by the President.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The act re.
pealing the federal election laws was

TO WARD OFF DISEASE,
Ample Fund Provided by Congress With
Which to Stay Plague.

Ample Fund Provided by Congress With
Which to Stay a Plague.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Recognition
of the possibilities that the cholera
wave which has been making progress
around the world from Asiatic sources
the past two years may reach the
United States next summer is made in
the sundry civil bill reported to the
house.
No direct appropriation for fighting
the cholera is made, but one clause of
the bill provides for the use of the
large uneXpended balance remaining
from last years appropriation for this
purpose. In the sundry civil bill
passed last March the sum of 5000, 600
was provided for fighting the cholera
and other epidemic diseases as there
was thought to be at that time immi-
nent danger of an invasion of the
plague.
While the officers of the marine hos
pital service were employed through
most of the summer in efforts to ward
off the cholera which had gained so
strong Il foothold in Europe and in
fighting yellow fever IN Georgia, but
$500, 200 of the appropriation was used
and the balance. 800, 900, remains I'M
touched in the treasury.
There was some discussion in the
meetings of the subcommittee which
drew the sundry-civil bill as to
whether this large sum should be
covered back into the treasury or
left at the disposal of the Marine
hospital, or whether an entirely
new appropriation under different con-
1itions should be recommended. 1t was
decided to leave the balance of $780,
600 as an emergency fund to be drawn
upon in case of need, and to place it at
the disposal of the president as had
been done last year.

GLANDS sEIGNioRAGE BILL.
Secretary Carlisle Not Strenuously OPP
posed to Its Passage.

Secretary Carlisle Not StrenuousIy OPP
posed to Its Passage.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Secretary Car
Isle, accompanied by Representative
Bland, appeared before the house COM
mittee on Judiciary Tuesday. 1t was
developed later that the secretary S visit
with Mr.. Bland did not mean that the
former intended to lend his influence
to the passage of the seigniorage bill.
They had met casually at the secre-
tary's Office, and as Mr.. Bland was GO
ing to the capitol Mr.. Carlisle accom-
panied him for the purpose of talking
over the Bland bill with the silver lead
er. This talk brought out the fact that
the secretary was not strenuously OPP
posed to the coinage of the seigniorage,
although he did not approve of some
of the propositions in the Bland bill by
which this added silver coinage was to
be secured. 1t is understood that the
secretary pointed out a flaw in the
first section of the bill, which Mr..
Bland himself concluded should be
modified.
The section provides that the secre-
tary of the treasury shall immediate
ly issue silver certificates in an amount
equal to the seigniorage of the silver
bullion, to-wit: $50. 156, 6S1.
Mr.. Carlisle pointed out that the man.
datory provision that the secretary
shall Immediately issue $50, ,6S1 of
silver certificates is hardly necessary,
as the current expenses might not re-
quire the compulsory issue of such a
large amount of silver certificates at a
single stroke.
Mr.. Bland said that he had appre-
ciated this point, and was ready to Of
fer an amendment when the bill was
taken up. by which the secretary will
he given authority to issue the silver
certificates as circumstances demand,
instead of being compelled to issue
them in blocks Immediately.
Mr.. Tracey (dem., of New York;
has made a preliminary canvass of the
house, which satisfies him that the
seigniorage bill will be defeated by s
or 10 votes, if a full membership can be
secured, but this Mr.. Tracey does not
expect. He is ready. however, to raise
the point of consideration against the
bill, and this may delay the debate.

epoTED BY P. wEEDBN.

Mr.. Mott illustrated the text OF the
morning which was from the 23d verse of
the 10th chapter of Proverbs by recounting
the salient characteristics of the life of
Francis OF Assist. This founder of the
order of Franciscan monks lived life
that furnishes an example of religious in
sDiration and devotion IN the carly part
OF the 18th century when superstition
and ignorance were the common charac-
teristics of the masses.
At his birth religion was n mystery.
Christ had come to be merely n painted
image. At his death there were
millions Of the common people who were
TO the truth and TO whom Christianity
had become a living reality. A spiritual
revolution had been accomplished. iln-
stead OF incantatious and spells, wors hip
had become practical aid in daily life.
Mr.. Mott then gave somewhat de-
tailed account of the IRE OF
st. Francis, showing how from being
turned TO q life of ceaseless toll and taken
poverty for his bride; how his steadfsat
purpose and constant good humor had led
TO his being mistaken for one almost de-
mentad and yet how that very persistence
finally led 20 his success.
His fault lay in mistaking the means of
attaining his object but his life is an ex-
ample OF pure devotion and earnest beauty
rarely cqualled.
The music selected by Mr.. Ting
lev included an opening anthem
90 Worship the Lord,n by Watson,
contsning. an inspiring solo
for the baritone voice, which, in
the absence OF Mr.. Flint, was
admirably rendered by Mr.. Pollard.
This was followed by a new and delicate
soprano solo "Load Kindly Light" by
Shepperd. In the evening the
selections included also new
work by Bohm, "Tho sabbath OF the
Soul,n containing a cpntralto solo, offer
ing great opportunity for a sympathetic
voice like that OF Miss Dean.

PLAINTIFF MUST SHOW
That There was Contract to Wed in
the Breckinridgc Case.


WASHINGTON, April 9.--ln the Breckin-
ridge case today Judge Bradley read his
recision with reference TO the prayers for
instructions to the jury which were sub
mitted by both sides on Saturday.
He granted nine OF the fourteen
prayers Of the plaintiff, modifying six OF
those, refusen four and decided that one
was covered by another prayer, thus
practically granting ten of the fourteen
proyers.
Six of the twelve prayers OF the defend.
ant were granted and substitute OF
Judge Bradley's for another was ac-
cepted, thus making seven prayers
granted, five with notifications.
After making his decision Judge Brad
ley seid that while the burden OF
proof rested on the plaintiff TO
show that contract TO marry
was entered into, as the defendant
had set up the defense that the contract
was not made in good faith, the burden of
proof wovld rest upon him to show that
there was an agreement tha. the contract
was not TO be carried out, and that the
statements made in the presence OF other
parties were made with this understand
ing by bother parties.
Mr.. Calderon Carlisle then began the
opening argument for the plaintiff.
