WILL BE NO FRICTION.
Cuba and the Dupont. Case VIII Alter
nate in the Senate.

When Mr.. Hoar's resolution to refer
the Cuban resolutions, now before the
Senate in the shape of a conference report,
went to the calendar yesterday afternoon,
the parliamentary status of those resolu-
tionS remained unchanged. Mr.. Hoar's
motion was simply the channel through
which he got the floor to make a speech,
and that speech could have been made as
We'll in a discussion Of the conference
report proper.
The resolutions of the wo Houses kay
ing been sent to conference the Senate
yielded and agreed to the House form OF
the resolutions. That agreement, which
is now before the Senate, is. o a certain
extent, privileged. 1t is not a privileged
question, but motion to proceed to the
consideration of a conference report must
be taken without debate and cannot be
Sidetracked by unlimited debate.
The question of the right CT a Senator
to a seat in the Senate is one OF the
highest privileges and would, it appears,
take precedence over Il conference report.
An arrangement has been made, it is
said, with Mr. Mitchell, in charge of the
Dupont case, so that the two matters VIII
move along without friction. Today the
Cuban question Will probably come up
during the morning hour, but at 2 O'Clock
Mr.. Mitchell Will claim the floor and Mr..
PritCharI, for the committee, VIII speak
n reply to the speech of Mr.. Turpie, which
was concluded yesterday afternoon The
Cuban question may then be taken up
again.

PROGRAM OF CONVENTION
1t VIII BE Called To Order In the
Academy of Music at I0o'Ciock This
Morning-The Probable Chairman.
Candidates Were Busy Last Night
Closing Up Plans.

At 10 O'Clock this morning the Demo
cratic city convention Will assemble at
the Academy OF Music for the purpose
of electing six delegates to represent the
District OF Columbia at the Chicago ma
tional convention.
There are six candidates for the honor
named, but there Will be others, aud many
OF them, unless all the signs fail. The
so-called combine ticket VIII be opposed
by another combine, headed by Charles
A Darr f. b. Hay, james L. Pugh and
three other men whose names have thus
far been kept in the background.
AFTER THE COMBINE.
There is no doubt whatever that there is
a determined effort on the part OF certain
influential Democrats in the District TO
smash the combination ticket if it is pos
sible to do SO. Efforts We're made last
night to induce Mr.. " lillian Dickson to
allow the use of his name TO head a ticket
in opposition TO the ticket now in the
field, but that gentleman refused abso-
lutely to be party to it,
Mr.. Dickson says nc is out OF politics
entirely aud does not wish his friends to
push his claims in ANY contingency. To
Times man he said that he was grateful
To his supporters for their good offices,
but any attempt to iuteriect his name into
the present controversy would meet with
his disapprovaI.
Il am out of District politics entirely"
concluded the veteran Dickson. .s--
RUMORS OF TRADES.
All sorts of dickers were suggested last
night by which one or more OF the alleged
'.big six" could be defeated, but the latest
information was that each and every one
OF the combine would be elected.
Never i'll the history of the District has
either resident of East Washington or
Georgetown. been, elected a delegate to
a national convention and the argument is
being made that the gentlemen representing
the two sections named should be honored
this time.
While it is not yet settled who viii be
selected 10 preside ovcrthe conventiontoday
it is generally understood that Col. Thomas
b. KaIbfus will be the man. Mr.. kaIbfus
represents the Tenth district.
The orators who viii do the honors for the
candidates for Chicago are as follows:

Bill.
1t is now said that opposition to the
passage of bill for sewers for the city
may be expected from suburban residents.
1t was stated yesterday that the citizens
of Brightwood will hold meeting tomor-
row night to discuss the passage OF the
bill and to pass resolutions of objection.
The ground of objection appears to be
that the bill suggested by the board of
trade for sewers cuts out the appropra-
tion OF million dollars for sewers for the
county.
1t is understood that Chairman Read
of the committee on streets and sewers of
the board Of trade, will attend the meeting
and explain the action of the board and
why the bill was framed as it now stands.

Itis generally agreed among lawyers that

defects so common to acts OF State Iegis-

State legislatures. as o rule, and that

and if the shrewd horSemen of the closed

elected to give the Maupin Law a test be-

LESSON STORY.

Jesus, from the time when he had
ordained the Twelve and preached their
Inaugural Sermon, was specially and
professedly spiritual Teacher and In.
spirer. He did not now desire to spread
his fame as Healer. The supreme
work now before him, for the completion
of which the time was limited, was the
teaching of his Gospel to his Apostles
When. therefore. as Matthew tells us
viii. Pa, Jesus, at the very base of the
Mount of Beatitudes, was besought by
leper pleading for bodily cleansing, and
his ever present compassion moved him
to make the man clean, it was according
to his life-plan to say to the restored
leper, See thou tell no man. The
Teacher would now have men come to
him, not as to Healer, but as the Wit
ness of Truth. the Restorer of Souls.
1. The Cure of the CenturiOn's
Servant,-vs. 2-10.
AS soon as Jesus arrived at Capernaum
he was nevertheless besought to exercise
his healing power. He was waited on
by delegation Of the elders of the Jews
These were the rulers of the Jewish
synagogue and therefore the Jewish
magistrates of the city. They were
probably not themselves open followers
of Jesus; but they were. at least. not un-
friendly to him; for they had interposed
no opposition to his speaking in the syn
anogue.
These elders had now come to Jesus
in behalf of the Roman centurion of
their city,-the captain of the Roman
garrison which Herod Antipas kept
stationed at Capernsum.
This centurion was in trouble because
loved bond-slave bad been stricken
with paralysis, and was now at the point
of death. 1t was notable thing for
Roman slave-owner to acknowledge
friendship, or even to feel pity. for
slave. But this centurion had found in
his bond-slave friend. And now that
his servant, his companion, his estima-
BILE fellow-man, was dying, he was over.
whelmed with grief.
In the nature of things, the centurion
must have known of the wonder works
which had hitherto attended the minis
try of Jesus. Especially must he have
been impressed by the restoration which
Jesus had, by word spoken at dis
tance, wrought in the dying son of one
OF his fellow officers of the Roman Kings
household John iv. 46-54). The father
of this restored son, now a professed
believer in Christ, may himself have
urged the centurion to send for Jesus
The centurion, while he believed in
Jesus, felt humbled that he was, as a
Roman soldier, in position of enmity
both to Jesus and his race.
But the elders of the Jews were will
ing to come to Jesus in the centurion's
behalf They told him that this centur.
ion had expressed his friendship for their
race and religion by building with his
own means the synagogue Of Caper-
naum.
Whether this was the only synagogue
OF the city, or whether it was 80 superior
10 cost and size that it was called THE
synagogue. cannot now be clearly deter
