Can't Come Together.

Detroit. Mich, April 9.-The impor-
tant business features of today's ses-
sion of the international Association
of Young Women's Christian associa-
tions was the report of the adjustment
committee appointed two years ago to
confer with a like committee from the
conference of the Y. NJ. c. A. in regard
to uniting the two bodies.
Miss r. F. Morse of Orange, n. J.,
chairman of the committee. reported
that il had been found wholly imprac-
ticable to amalgamate the associations
The chief reason for this is inability
to come together on the evangelical
question The association committee.
in convention, requires that its active
members be members of churches;
the other association has no such rule
The report stated that the committees
had agreed to recommend that the as
sociations aid each other in certain
ways, and that they are not TO conflict
with each other. The report will doubt
less be adopted tomorrow.

IN NO HURRY.
Republicans Seem to Be Anxious to
Postpone the Consideration of the
Dingley Bill.

Washington, April 9.-The Republic
an senators who are acting as sub
committee of the senate committee on
finance in the preparation of the tariff
bill are inclined to postpone the date
of the presentation of the bill to the
senate a little beyond the limit origin
ally fixed by them. They express the
opinion that it may be two weeks from
the present time before it will be
in shape to be reported. Some of them
postpone the time until two weeks
from next Monday. The committee is
making very satisfactory progress with
the bill and many of the schedules
have received final attention, among
them being chemicals and cottons.
None of the more puzzling questions.
however, have been disposed Of The
committee has deemed it is wisest to
leave the rates on wool, sugar, hides,
coal lead ore, lumber and all the
other important subjects until the
simplest matters can be determined.
They take the position that they can
settle the disputed points more salts
factorily after the other features of
the bill are thoroughly digested and
the probable revenue determined.
Many of the smaller items accordingly
have been decided upon. While no
detailed information can be secured, it
is understood that many reductions in
duties have been made. The different
position of the committee is TO make
a quite general reduction but this is
found to be a task not easy of ac-
complishment because of the insist
cree of senators upon having the
strongest protection of the articles in
which they are particularly interested.
There are indeed many demands for
increase and some of these are so
pressing that the members of the
committee are finding themselves con-
embarrassed between their
desire to satisfy senators whose vote
will be essential to the success of the
bill and their conviction that the inter
ests of the party demand reduction
rather than increase.

California Cycling Rules.

San Francisco, April 9.-The Cali
fornia Associated Cycling clubs have
resumed control of cycle track racing
in the state of California. They have
been impelled to this step by the re-
fusal of the l.. A. W., the hitherto
accepted governing body in California
of this branch Of the sport, to recognize
existing conditions in this state and
tc adapt its rules thereto. The articles
framed by the associationtfor the gov
eminent of racing accept the amateur
definition of the various amateur
athletic organizations of America
Clubs are permitted to pay the legiti-
mate expenses of their members en-
gaging in contests where there is no
prize other than an inter-club trophy.
and there is no limit to the distance
from their homes within which
amateurs may compete. These rulings
will permit clubs in all parts of the
state TO send their representatives TO
those events on the roads which have
hitherto been but local affairs.

knock out Scent fares on street rail-
roads in Indianapolis has been filed in

more than a hundred flood sufferers,
swelling the list already there to 1900
people.

Rome, April 9-The chamber of
deputies was crowded today on the
resumption of the debate started yes
terday by the Interpolation of Signor
Imbriani the Socialist leader in the
chamber. The marquis Visconti Ven
osta, foreign minister, replied for the
government, which had been charged
by Senior Imbriani with following the
'odious policy of leading free Italy to
commit inconceivable acts of violence
against Greece and to trample upon
the laws of nations"
After reviewing, from its inception,
the whole story of the Cretan crisis,
the foreign minister said:
From the outset, among the various
proposals having the common end of
pacification in Crete, Italy has always
supported the application CT enectual
reforms. 1t is to Italy's interest that
tere should not be general war. Italy
could not ignore affairs in the east as
connected with the question of the
balance of power in the Mediterranean.
THE government favors, therefore, a
change to the advantage of
certain peoples which tend to escape
frcm the Turkish yoke by obtaining
national autonomy. But this principle
must, of necessity, be reconciled with
the eXigencies of peace, and with the
European equilibrium. Admiral
Canaviro has worthily represented the
loyalty and support given by Italy to
the concert. Italy has remained faith
tul TO the concert and has co-operated
in all efforts TO promote the settlement
desired and in every proposal calcu-
lated TO render the position of Greece
easier. If only Greece had lent an ear
to the councils of moderation, no
would have been involved
for her in deferring to the wishes of
Europe. If Greece had deferred she
would have attained her object-name-
ly, the liberation of the Cretans.
Nevertheless, if war cannot be
averted, If Greece means to embark in
a blind adventure, it will be seen that
the conduct of the powers is inspired
by a spirit of prudence.
The present crisis should be sur
and the desired reforms Sc
cured without infringing upon the
status quo or the balance of power
No government dare assume the re-
sporsibility of isolated action in the
eastern question:
Defending the action of Italy in
Crete, the foreign minister recalled to
The chamber the fact that the country
1ad Sacrlhced the national feeling by
stopping General Garibaldi Signor
Imbriana here Interrupted with vio-
eDt and only partly ineligible protest
He was called to order but as he per-
sisted in speaking the sitting of the
:hamber was suspended amid great
lproar. When it was resumed Signor
mbriani apologized and made formal
to the authority of the
PRESIDENT of the chamber. The Mar
luis Visconti Venosta concluded amid
,heers from the Right and Centre and
lmid protests from the Radicals
from Signor Fratti, who |
vas called to order
The debate was adjourned until to-
morrow

San Francisco. April 9-Advices from
Tahiti state that Queen Mamae, who

ing rebellion on the islands of Raiatea

ANOTHER CHANCE.
Chinese Will Have an Opportunity to
Slip Into Tennessee.

Washington, April 9.-Secretary Gage
and the immigration officials are per-
picked at the best course to pursue
in regard to the immigration of
large number of Chinese laborers, in
connection with the Chinese exhibit at
the national exposition at Nashville,
Tenn. The law allows the immigration
of a sufficient number of Chinese la
borers to do the work of installing the
exhibit and also such as may desire to
give entertainments in the exhibition,
on condition that bond is
given that they will leave the
country at the close of the
exposition. The experience of the
officials is that many of the Chinese.
