WILL VOTE ON TUESDAY.
Fate of Porto Rieon Tariff Bill to BE De-
cided Then In House-Notabie
Speeches Made.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-An agreement
was reached in the house that the vote
on the Porto Ricon tariff bill be taken
up at p. NJ. next Tuesday, general de-
bate TO close Monday. Formal an
nouncement was made that Repnbli-
can conference would be held at p. m.
today. The leaders continue to express
the belief that the bin will pass but the
impression is growing that motion to
recommit the bill to the committee on
ways and means will command strong
support and may prevail. Mr.. Under
wood, the Democratic s'whip, sent out
kilograms to all absent Democrats TO be
present Monday when the voting may
begin.
The speech of Mr.. Littlefeld, Of
Maine, was the feature of the session.
He added to his laurels, won in the Rob
erts debate, by a speech against the bill
which, for brilliancy, wit and logic,
rivals the best efforts of the recognized
orators of the house, He made pro-
found impression and, when he con-
Guided, it was several minutes before
the demonstration that followed could be
quelled.
Among the others who spoke were
Messrs. Jones (Ya.) and Maddox (Ga.) J,
against the bill, end Messrs. Russell
Comm, Bartholdt (Mo.), Gardner
(Mieh.) and Lacey (Ia.), for it. The de.
bate continued at night session.
AT the night session Mr.. Sulzer On.
" vigorously opposed the bill as un-
warranted and unconstitutional and
against the rights of the Porto Rieons
and the policy and traditions of this
country.

Made no answer to her Gliding,
Made no plea to win her favor,
Showed no wish to make her prove IL,
But hitched up his faded trousers,
Faded, frayed and baggy trousers,
And betook him to his burrow,
Crawled in out of sight and gathered
All his foolish tribe about him,
And there hidden and EMBODIED
In his own inglorious record,i
Put his fingers in his ears and
Looked at nothing and was silent.
And the winsome Shiawassee,
Rare and radiant Shiawassee,
Laughed, and down lhe stretching vistas
Went the echoes of her laughter.
Went reverberating outward
Like the echoes of glad music
AS they float across the water,
And the world, enchanted, heard her,
Saw and heard her and made answer;
Gracious, glorious Shiawassee,.
Lovely, winsome Shiawassee,

ness"1. The report caused consider
able laughter and applause. 1t was
signed by Geo. II. Law, chairman.
Prof. E. o. Excel then arose to
conduct the last piece of music which
he would lead at the convention.
There were many calls for solo, but
the professors voice would not allow
it. At the close of the hymn which
all sang, Prof. Excel was given the
"Chautauquan greeting" the whole
audience standing and waving hand
kerchiefs. Upon the professor leav-
ing, A. E. Ferry took charge of the
music.
Rev. John Britton Clark, of Detroit,
was then introduced and addressed the
convention upon "The Sunday school
as an evangelizer Of the home" Mr..
Clark had evidently studied his SUBJ
ject deeply for many of his thoughts
were original and striking. In some
Of his statements, the audience did
not agree with him, but his intense
earnestness made strong impression.
Mr.. Clark first recited some of the
evils which exist in the sunday schools
of today. He told how one young lady
teacher in large school talked to her
class nearly the whole lesson hour up
on the latest millinery; how another
told the girls of her class of her vari-
GUS young men friends, which she
liked to have call upon her.
"We all admit that the Sunday
school is far from perfection. What
shall we do to make it true evange-
lizer of the home? There is one of two
remedies. Either close the schools
entirely-which God forbidden else
put them upon common sense, bust
ness basis.
"Have the Sunday school superin-
tendents educated in special college.
Make them receive four years in
structiOn before they take charge Of
their work, then pay them well.
Have them make it their life work.
Get earnest, intelligent teachers, and
pay them, too. You may not agree
with me but / firmly believe this is
6he best way.
II preach the gospel of Jesus Christ,
and you would insult me, did you hint
that do not preach with my whole
soul because get paid for it. Then
why are Sunday school teachers, whose
work is just as important, compelled
to teach for nothing-often at an
actual financial loss?"
Mr.. Clark left this thought with his
audience, and was given hearty ap-
plause as he sat down. Several
hymns were then sung, and the offer
ing was taken up, after which Prof.
George +. Mosher, of Hillsdale, was
introduced and spoke upon "The Sun
day school as an evangelizer OF the
world"
Prof. MOsher, too. had a message,
which, being little out of the ordi.
nary, gave the delegates something t.
think about. The speaker related
how some time ago, he witnessed the
recruiting Of the German army, and
noticed that only thirty out Of on
hundred passed the rigid physical eS
animation. The other seventy wer
rejected because Of weakness frol
liquor, over-much smoking, or lice
tiousness. He next told the preside'

The new trunk line, Of WON .-is is a
section, will extend froi Ashington
through the wes.-sA paris OF North and
South Carolina to- Atlanta. Ca. where it
will connect with the now existing line Of
the company. This will complete a circuit
which will be Of immense advantage TO the
residents of the section through which IL
passes. as well as to those IN the region
tributary TO the artery Of telegraphic com
munication and which is tapped by il. In
connection with the new railway cOnstruc-
ton which is now going on. and which is
in contemplation. it Will possess a double
value as heralding that coming develop
ment of the whole South which this COM
pany has been prompt to appreciate.
The city OF Charlotte. which the new
system touches, is one of the most thriving
centres OF internal commerce in that rich
and growing country. while the smaller
towns at which Offices have been installed
are each the hub Of a local prosperity
which demands every facility for its proper
encouragement With the new teiegTaphie
accommodations working in conjunction
with the railroads. the most modern aids
to agricultural and manufacturing growth,
that part OF the new South is now well
equipped for a competition from which it
has hitherto been barred.

WHERE CARS SHALL STOP.
Ross Opposed 10
Changing the Present Practice.

Commissioner Ross Opposed to
Changing the Present Practice.
The question Of stopping the street cars
on the near side or far side Of the street
is. perhaps. no nearer solution than when
the proposition emanated, weeks ago, from
the President Of the Capital Traction Com
pany.
An amendment has been proposed TO
the police regulations of the District re-
curing the ears to stop on the Tar side
of the street. The proposed amendment
has received the endorsement Of Two Of
the three District Commissions, not to
mention the Coroner. to whom the matter
was referred to trace the relation which
might exist between accidents which have
occurred and the present practice.
But now Commissioner Ross comes for
ward with objections to the proposed inno-
walton stated so conyincingly that he seems
likely TO carry the day against the ma
jority opposed 10 him.
1T seems to me-" says the Commits
sioner. that radical changes in established
regulations which affect the convenience OF
the entire population of a great city should
not be made until demand is made therefor
by the people interested. Probably nine
tenths OF our people DO not care on Whlch
side Of the intergecting streets the cars
are required to stop. But after system
has been inaugurated and the people have
become accustomed to it, it does not seem
advisable to change that system unless it
be absolutely required by consideration OF
public safety and convenience. Accidents
will no doubt occur under any system. but.
in my opinion. it will not please the people
of the District to have a new system in
with every new Board Of Com
miss fDuers"
