THE End VERY NEAR.


was involved in taking from the House OF
Representatives the power to cooperate
in making reciprocity treaties. 1t was too
grave question to be brought into the
Senate during the closing hours OF the
tariff debate.
Mr.. Chandler made the point that the
House of Representatives had originated
the reciprocity proposition and the Senate
paragraph was only a modification of the
House provision. AS Mr.. Chandler spoke
Mr.. White interjected an inquiry as to
whether the finance committee had COM
missioned the New Hampshire Senator to
occupy the floor until they were able to
frame stamp amendment.
Mr. Chandler answered that he had
been asked merely to occupy the floor and
look out for anything the Senator from
Colorado might say worthy of notice.
But as nothing of that kind had come
before the Senate he would confine his at
tention to reciprocity. Mr.. White made
legal argument against the constitu-
tionality of the reciprocity clause.
The amendment was then agreed to 30
to IS, two Democrats Gray and Morgan,
and Messrs Harris of Kansas and Heitfeld
Populists, voting with the Republicans
in the affirmative, and Messrs. Teller and
Stewart with the Democrats in the mega

1t was now nearly six o'clock and be-
fore adjourning, Mr.. Allison said he
would be glad to secure an agreement on
a time for a final vote There was a
momentary lull, and then Mr.. Teller said
it would be useless to try and fix time
for vote unless Senators knew what
amendments were to be proposed. He had
no desire to delay the bill, and he could
see no reason why a vote could not be
reached tomorrow.
Mr.. Allison thereupon withdrew his
request that a time be fixed for vote.
AT 6 o'clock the Senate held an execu-
tive session and then adjourned

The Maryland conference of the Metho-
dist Protestant Church, which embraces all
the churches Of that denomina tion in Mary
land. the District of Columbia and certain
sections of Virginia, will hold its annual
meeting tomorrow at the Broadway Church,
Baltimore. and will continue for several
days. great amount of routine business
is to be disposed of, but the most important
matter which will occupy the attention of
the conference is the election of presi-
dent to succeed Rev. ]. d. Kinzer who, by
reason of the five-year limit, has retired
from office. The most prominent men
whose name, are mentioned for the presi-
dency are Rev. DR.. F. T. Tagg, editor of
the Methodist Protestant; Rev. A. D. Mel
vim. formerly missionary secretary of the
general conference; Rev. F. T. Little, pas
tor of the Starr Memorial Church. and Rev.
DR.. ]. S. Mills of Kent county, Md. 1t is
the general impression that one of these

Melvin. anG should he be chosen the least
number of changes will be involved.
