Maj. Carr thought that as the association
was already in debt in the sum OF s4e7,
that the association should float before ft
attempted 10 swim. Many inquiries were
made, and things took a lively aspect.
Capt. Smart stated that the association

which the committee on medical journal
might incur. Secretary Chancellor was
heartily in favor OF the journal and was
sanguine Of its success. Ii would also re-
lfeve the secretary OF a vast amount Of
labor. Mai. O'Neill stated that the profits
of the journal would go into the treasury
OF the association. Secretary Chancellor
thought that as various other medical
journals cleared from $4,000 to $4,000 an
nually he could not see why their journal
should not net 5000 or $4,000 a year. Col
r. c. Foster thought they should go slow
in this matter. 1t was very easy he said,
TO figure out a profit on paper. but for years
he had been connected with one OF the old
est medical journals OF the country. For
years they had run on a losing business,
and new were just running even. They
had to pay an editor. They had TO buy
matter. He said that IL required constant
grind of the board OF managers TO keep out
questionable advertisements. These were
coming in In all forms and under all masks.
One or two other delegates arose and de-
clared that they thought there were med
ical journals enough. The resolution was

EFFORTS At HARMONY.
All Democrats Said TO BE Plncated
Except Senator Hill.

Except Senator Hill.
The efforts Of Senator Jones of Arkansas
to harmonic the democratic Senators by
proposing amendments to the tarin bill
upon which all can agree seem to be about
to succeed. In this mission of peace and
good will Senator Jones has been supported
by Senator German. Mr.. German has held
the protectionists well in hand, with the
exception of Senator Hill. while Mr.. Jones
has quieted the fiery and enthusiastic free
traders, with whom he is understood TO
sympathize. by the assurance that half
loaf is better than no bread, and that IL the
tariff bill was to be passed at all il could
only be done by concessions 10 certain
democratic Senators whose constituents
would not consent TO the passage Of certain
paragraphs In the bill as they now stand
1t is now expected that the amendments
agreed upon will be offered in the senate
tomorrow or next day. Perhaps The intro
AductIon OF them may be delayed a day or
two longer, because the history of the effort
TO secure harmony shows that no sooner
has one difficulty been overcome than an
other arises.
The only democratic Senator who will re-
fuse to be bound by the agreement upon
the amendments to the bin is Mr. Hnl He
intends to maintain his record for consist
ency by opposing the bill SO long as tire
income tax In any form is retained in it.
He will not try to delay vote. On the
contrary he is willing and even anxious to
amend the rules of the Senate so as to for
bid all kinds of filibustering
The amendment TO the rules may not
prove necessary, but the confidence of the
democrats that they will pass their bill in
time TO go into effect by the first of Julv

that cloture can be had IL needed Hin is
