Educational lnstil Att<,ns.

The president of the state board OF re-
gents. Hon. Frank ID. Adams Of Groton.
has made known several changes that Will
probably be made In the managementsof
the state educational institutions. In the
annual report Of the board q recommended
ton is made that the term Of the school
year of the agricultural college be changed
from summer term to winter session
more in accordance with the other institu-
tons Of the state. Another very important
measure that is asked for is that the grad
yates of the colleges and universities Of the
state be recognized without other examina-
tons, their degrees being accounted equal
to state certificates. This is much needed
change, for, strange to say, graduates from
institutions of learning in neighboring
states are permitted to teach in South Da-
kota without further examinations, while
those graduating here, are not. This fact
causes each year numbers of students to
leave the institutions Of this state in their
last year Of college work, and finish at
some other place in an adjoining state.
Since Governor-elect Lee has pledged his
support to all ''proper legislation" on edu-
cational lines Mr.. Adams feels confident
that these reforms will be carried out.

WASHINGTON, July 20.-The tariff

exciting contest when the session opened.

Immediately after the prayer n mer-
sage from the house announced the
agreement OF that body to the conference
report. Considerable routine business
was disposed Of before the tarift report
was called up.
A resolution by Mr.. Morgan (Ala.) was
agreed TO asking the President as TO

rest and subsequent expulsion Of Samuel

When the case against Ryder was

The mob, while returning with Ryder

WASHINGTON, July so.-Ths tariff
conference report was presented to the
senate to-day. but little progress was
made on It beyond the formal reading
of about two-thirds OF the report There
was no Indication OF when the final vote
would be reached. During the day Mr.
Tinman, Oem,, S. c) openly threat
ened a tilibuster until next December.
IL cotton bagging and cotton ties were
not restored TO the free list, but the
threat was regarded as somewhat face
tious. The sugar amendments occas-
ioned a long debate. during which Mr..
Allison stated that the conference rates
were lower than those OF the senate and
largely In concession to the house. SEN
atorB Vest, Jones, Berry and White
questioned this statement, urging that
the sugar trust secured larger benefits
from the conference schedule than from
any previously offered.
The lumber amendment also brought
out an animated criticism from Sena-
tors Teller and Pettigrew When the
amendment restoring cotton bagging
and cotton ties to the dutiable list was
reached. there was a sharp protest from
Senators Jones, Butler, TIllman and Ba>
con. Mr. Tillman expressed his indigna-
tion at the sectionalism which had in
splred the conference committee. He
gave notice 20 southern senators that
II they would stand by him they could
hold the senate In session until next De-
cember rather than submit TO this
change.
Mr.. Bacon characterized the restora-
ton OF cotton ties and cotton baggins
to the dutlable list as indefensible fa-
voritism OF the north against the south.
Replying TO the suggestion OF Mr..
Tillman, Mr.. Butler said he stood ready
to Join in any movement TO hold the
senate in session for a week or longer
TO prevent the contamination OF this in
iquity against the south.
II will tell the senator" called back
Mr.. TiiIman. that ] am negotiating
with the senator from Pennsylvania
(Qnny) for the speech by which he stop
ped the last tariff debate and may be
ready to start on that speech tomorrow
morning."
Mr.. Teller criticised the conference
committee for not carrying out the win
OF the senate. II was the first time. he
said, that committee had surrendered
the interests OF the senate without
asking for instructions. He had reason
TO believe that members OF the confer
ence committee. supposed to represent
the senate had gone into the conference
and worked against the senate amend
ment on white pine. Mr. Teller declared
that the entire report should be rejected
and sent to committee representing
the senate and carrying out its instruc-
tlons. Referring TO the bill as a whole.
the senator asserted that 1t was the
meanest tnriif ever enacted.
At o'clock Mr.. White suggested nn
adjournment, but Mr.. Allisoon would
consent TO this only in case OF an agree
ment TO meet at II a. m. tomorrow.
There were objections to this. and after
much fruitless sparrring the senate at
515 p. m, on motion OF Mr.. Allison,
went into executive session and then
adjourned.
