THE CONFERENCE REPORT
Allison Wanted a Vote, But Pet
tus Objected.
SENATOR TURLEY SWORN IN
Mr.. TiIIman Took a Turn in the Discussion
Of the Agricultural Schedule-Joint
Resolution Passed.

Washington, July 22.--Shortly before
the senate adjourned today, Senator AL
hson, in charge of the tariff bill, made
a strong effort to have time fixed for
the final vote on the tariff conference re-
port. Failing in this, Mr.. Allison gave
notice that the session tomorrow would
be protraoted W. g view to securing a
vote. 1t was the FIRST definite move made
thus far towards bringing the debate to
a close. Mr.. Allison's first proposition
was for vote at o'clock tomorrow, but
this was objected to by Mr.. Pettus, of
Alabama. Then he proposed vote some
time before adjournment tomorrow,
which was objected to by Mr.. Morgan.
The suggestion of Saturday at l O'Clock
met with like objection from Mr.. Nor
gan. The Alabama senator explained
his last objection by stating that he
thought that all debate on the subject
would be exhausted tomorrow so that it
was needless to make an agreement in
advance Finding that there was no
disposition to reach an agreement, Mr..
Allison finally gave notice that hereaf-
ter while the report was pending the SEN
ate would not adjourn at o'clock with
out yea and nay vote:
The debate ON the report today was
participated in by Senators Chiion, of
Texas; Jones, of Arkansas, and Petit
grew of South Dakota, in opposition,
while Mr.. Aldrich took frequent occasions
to defend lhe report against the criticisms
of those senators. The credentials of the
new senator from Tennessee, Thomas b.
Turley, who succeeds the Late Senator
Harris, wer= presented by his colleague,
Mr.. Bate. and the oath of Office admin
istered
During the discussion of the agricuh-
ural schedule MIR. Tillman was drawn into
a vehement argument on the benefit of
am export bounty on agricultural pro-
ducts. The South Carolina senator de-
clared THAT the imp esltion of such boun-
ty was rhe most effective means of de-
stroying ehe protective system, for if
the farmer got on= drop of blood in his
mouth he would want to swallow the
whole carcass and Ut would epd in a
scra mbFe, overturning the whole system.
The house joint resolution was passed
requesting th- president to make inves-
tigalion as to the exclusion of American
tobacc from foreign countries under the
Reggie contrac ct system. AT o'clock the
senate held an executive session and then
adjourned.

Royal Shoal, Oconogee Inlet, N. c., says
the report, was accompgs'hed d and SINH
lar operations were begun, Beacon Island
slue being finished in January.
Fishing creek was cleared of snags and
similar distractions as were also Pam
leo and Tar rivers shoals at the mouth
of Contertia creek, which was dredged
and snags removed from that stream.
The Neuse river was snagged from
near Goldberg to Steiner jsLiee. Beaufort
haribor operations during the year were
confined to improveme previously
commenced. The inland waterway be-
tWesn Beaufort ha;1 Dor and New river
were dredged. There is an available bal
ance of 81 900 for continuing work a This
pace Work on he Northeast river was
confined to snagging. The Black river
was also snagged and also sihoal at
lHawse narr1ws improved. Several shoals
in the Cape Fear river above Wilmington
were improved by regulating works of
pile and brush The river was also sragg-
ed. Improvements on this river at and
b low Wilmington consisted in extend

inquiry be made whether the sugar trust
has Contributed to or controlled the
election of a senator in this body at any
time,' the committee expresses the opin-
ion that the time to investigate a charge
of this character will be when some evil
dence sis offered to show cause for an
inquiry" and adds that upon the cleo
ton Of a senator "his official and politi-
cal opponents are sufficiently alert in
their own interests or the interest of the
party to make known any ground for
contest in his election. So far as the
American Sugar Refining company may
offend against the statutes of the United
States let it be dealt with according TO
law. We are not apologists for that COM
pany or any other. Charges against
that company or any other can never be
held as ground for investigating charges
against senators of this body. If charges
are TO be made against corpora tions why
stop at one company why rot call up
the officers of all corporations and find
out whether any of them have contrib
uted or controlled the election of SEN
ator to this body at any time. The time
of examination would use up all the ses-
sion and there would be no time for any
leglsla tive business"
The committee goes into the question
of propriety of expelling from the press
gallery or sending to prison newspaper
correspondents who make false charges,
taking a position against both sugges-
tfons. They say that the expulsion from
the press galleries would be dispropor-
toned to the offense as the other galleries
of silps senate would be open to the Offend
/ ers. 1t might even be. the committee
adds, that the notoriety acquired by
reason of such an expulsion instead of
operating as punishment would prove
source of promotion in his profession.
Furthermore, they conclude that such
punishment would have no influence up
on the newspaper proprietors themselves s
and that with the press associations
covering tine ground it would be impos-
sibia to deprive the paper from securing
the news. The committee supply a list
of prosecutions of newspaper writers by
the senate beginning with this case of
William Guayne, of 1900, and the case If
clusion is drawn that no very heavy PEN

Charleston, S. c., July 22.-The senate
rial meeting today at Georges was de-
void of special interest or feature. The
candidates are showing some wear on ac-
count of the strain of the campaign, al
though only fifteen out of forty coun-
ties have been visited There were about
200 voters at today's meeting and they
were very much divided as to the rival
candidates. Col. Irby devoted much
time to ridiculing the present governor
Senator McLaurfn said that from what
he gathered, Col. Irby was after the SEN
atorship but was willing to let his peni-
tent political son have that office and
take the Office of governor for himself
two years hence. Col. Irby said he
wanted the senatorship and expected to
get'it
Mr.. McI.aurin said his tariff position
was being persistently misrepresented
and misquoted and to explain his true
views took up all of his time.
Col. Irby said with the negro vote out

lican party in South Carolina and that
McLaurin will lead it.
McLaurin insisted that he stands upon
the Bryan platform.

James A. Bradley. Some people have fun at
AsbuTy Park. Founder Bradley is one
of them. A recent ethod of his for
having fun is the little iron safe on the
pier On the sides of this safe are pain ted
oonundrums of religious nature, and
each one Of them is query whether 1t
is '.ssfe" to DO this, that or the other
thing. That is why the safe was chosen
as medium for the cunun drums instead
OF board walk, or board fence. or a
water cart,
For some fnscrutable reason the pun
seems to he the only form of wit per-
misSible to scme rnnco guid'' people. Au-
thorities on literature say that the pun
is the lowest form of wit, the most easily
made, the most exasperatin the most IN
excusable. The bad pun is an atrocity
perpetrated 10y the mentally incapable.
But for some rea son or other the only sort
OF witticisIn which is allowable at church
conferences, missionary meetings and As
bury Park places of certain grade is a
very mild form OF pun. or possibly oonun-
drum. Not long ago in Sunday school
leaflet appeared the directions:

together with nlucilage and show them to

be separated; so stick to God.

and fraudulent goods, obnoxious equally
TO all legitimate political organizations.
There is evidence that these Ohio gold
dinner party people fancy they can do
something this year. II nothing else they
hope that their show OF sodality will inn

litical parties with an idea OF their i'm

a return 20 the Democratic crib, or raise
the cash value OF their Republican 'educa-
ton" They are likely to be disappointed
in both directions. In addition to that,
they have made a serious mistake in the
preparation of their convention. They win
allow a delegate for each l 900 vote cast
for Cleveland in Ohio In 1892. That
would necessitate a membership of 404 in
the convention. Unless they can hire some
Republicans to act the part, and help them
out, it may be considered doubtful IL
they can find enough voters OF their

The Comedy Of arbitration never would
De complete without a star actor in the
shape OF a European monarch. In the
latest Instance Japan suggests not trl-
bunal, but an arbitrator In the person Of
King Leopold OF Belgium. Personally King
leopold is open to few objections. We al
Way nave regarded him as a very fair
specimen Of king. His local opportunities
than made up for them. Little things
have seaa sald about EiInin connection with
the estate of his sister. the unfortunate
ex-EmpIess Carlotta Of Mexico; but his
experience in the affairs OF lady who
has had such an unhappy connection with
matters Ia the western hemisphere ought
TO render him alive 20 things wherein
American Interests are concerned.
In another direction, King Leopold is
'faciie prtnoeps" Oh subjects pertaining
TO land interests His adventures in Africa
have afforded him much experience. The
Congo Free State is famous evidence to
this point, and nobody is mad enough to
suspect his Belgian Majesty of any sordid
motives ia or around those premises. They
have been too pnllanthrOpic TO mention,
and landgrabbing never has been in his
mind
Having thus Offered our little need Of
praise to TIE man, IL is proper 10 devote
some small Consideration to tie facts and
other considerations We are very much
interested. or would be. in the matter OF
