Washington, D. c., March 25.-The
conferees Of the two houses on the Gu
ban resolutions held another meeting
today. but again adjourned without
reaching a conclusion. They, however.
went far enough TO justify that another
session. which will be held tomorrow.
will conclude the conference. The IN
dicationS favor the recession Of the
house from its position and the accept
ance Of the senate resolutions. The dif-
ficulties of getting any legislation which
is opposed. as the Cuban resolutions are,
through the senate under the present
rules, are well understood by the con-
ferees. and the conviction is gradually
forcing itself upon them that the safest
course is TO pursue the course which
will not require any further action by
the senate The house members Of the
conference are 10th TO give up their reso-
lutions, but il is understood they Will
do so If it is made necessary 10 secure
the concurrence of the two bodies.
Senator Cameron's contribution 10 the
senate resolutions. that the friendly Of
fees Of the United States be offered by
the president 10 the Spanish government
for the recognition OF the Independence
OF Cuba. is antagonized by the house
ccnferees, one of whom said ii would
be equally diplomatic and proper 10 Of
fer friendly offices TO Graf Britain for
the attainment of Canada's independ-
ence. On the other hand, the clause
of the house resolutions looking TO in
terventiOn 10 protect the interests OF
the United States is opposed by the
senatorial side of the conference, al
| though the house conferees think It
| more tenable than the Cameron clause.
Concerning the expression of sympathy
with the insurgents and the recommen-
| dation that the United States should
| accord them belligerent rights there
was no great controversy of personal
! opinion.
| In case the senate resolutions are ac-
| copied by the conference, the question
Will again be thrown into the house and
| in all probability more debate may be
| had in that body when the conferees
make their report and several members
are preparing speeches in anticipation

| dent partisans on the foreign affair.

words is OF small Importance and that

New York, March 25.-There was
decided contraction in the dealings in
stock exchange securities today, reflect
ing the unsatisfactory conditions pre-
ailing. The continued selling Of our
securities held abroad, including many
of the choicest investment bonds, lends
special significance to the hardening
tendency of the foreign exchange mar

tons, and an inflow of funds to this CEN
ter from the interior should, under nor
nal conditions, seen begin. The trad
ing today was unrelieyed by outside
opera tons, the absence of commission
orders in many instances, compelling
brokers to scalp on the floor for frac-
tios in order to pay office expenses. To-

gate of 10000 shares, and only two

story was circulated late in the day OF
an agreement on the part of the presi-
dents of the anthracite coal companies,
to abandon their combination govern
ing the price and production of coal. 1t
is needless to say that there was no
reflection of the report in the prices Of
the anthracite shares. 1t may be taken
for granted that any statements of the
aboe import that may be made by Of
ficials are simply for the purpose of re-
taxing the vigilance of the legislatures
at various points. Chicago Gas was

that as a result of the investigation by
Attorney General Moloney of Illinois in

TELLS OF THE WEST
Continued from Fifth Page.)

blaze of gospel light and fire has been
burning in the district for several
months. Shere have been conversions
in every charge. In some places near
ly every unconverted person in the
community have been converted. Our
preachers have gone into some COM
munities where there was none to Of
fer prayer in public but themselves and
have laoored with glorious results. We
have had in all more than seven hun
dred conversions and many nominal
Christians quickened into new life The
district never was in better spiritual
condition than at present. The evan
gelistic spirit has possessed both preach
ers and people and the beautiful winter
has enabled the people to attend ser
vices without interruption. Many have
attended regularly distances of ten
and twelve miles. 1 will mention here
what l havoc told you before. 1t is
not our boast, but our responsibility
that we have more Methodist Episcopal
ministers within the district than there
are ministers of all other churches com
bined. Our members and Sunday school
and young peoples meetings largely
outnumoer all others. eW never think
of this fact, but we are humbled before
the Lord and ask ourselves If We are
doing our very best.
Here is our proposition TO our great
and glorious church. Given a few more
heroic men and women and little
more money and sympathy and pray
ers and in one generation we will re-
turn to you this vast domain almost
every in oh of 1T in the possession of
the Methodist Episcopal church and
her communicates.
AS to my own personal labors, 1 have
done the best / could. / have been
able to attend to all the duties of my
Office and render considerable assist
ance in special services. My long and
tiresome Journeys have seemed shorter
and easier and burdens lighter as
have heard the songs of faith and vic
tory and the triumphant shouts of
souls newly born into the kingdom of
my life. Praise the Lord! l have had
sweet communion and conscious &C
ceptance with my master. My cup
has been full of blessings and the show
ers of grace abundant. / want moth
ing better in this world than to be a
worker with Jesus in lifting this world
to higher ideal of life and brighter
view of Heaven. In His name and for
His glory this report is respectfully
submitted

SHE WANTS A DIVORCE
Mrs. Nichols Accuses Her Husband Of Some
Grave Things.

In the district court yesterday Mrs.
Mary Nichols instituted divorce pro-
ceedings against her husband B. F..
Nichols. The complaint is a long one
and recites the story of a terrible de-
gree of domestic unhappiness. They
were married about five years ago and
lived together only a short time. He
has failed to contribute TO her support
and, according to the complaint. that
is the least grevious offense. The other
charges made against him are too re-
voting to be published in print.

WILL ASK FOR NEW TRIAL
DI. Phillips Tells How Mrs. StalIing Got a
Big Verdict.

Mayor Cox went to Mt. Hope yester-
day and obtained an affidavit from DR..
I. n. Phillips with reference to the ac-
ton of the jury in the Mrs. Stallings
case. Mrs. Stallings sued the city for
damages TO the amount Of $4,000 and re-
ceived a verdict for $7.1O0. The city
will ask for a new trial Friday and
have been getting affidavits to support
the application. DR.. Phillips says that
he was ajuryman in the case and that
the verdict did not represent his judg-
nlent but that he Joined in it to fulfill
the terms of a contract entered into
among the jurors while they were de-
liberating in the case. This contract
was to the effect that each juror put
down on a piece of paper figures repre-
sentlng what they considered the plain
tiff entitled to, then to divide the aggre-
gate by twelve and make that the
amount of the verdict. The city claims
that this kind of a verdict is Illegal and
IL is very probable that a new trial Will
be ordered on the strength of it.
