THE REPUBLICANS
 REACH AGREEMENT
Conference Requests Committee
 to Amend Porto Rican Bill.
THE BILL TO BE PROVISIONAL
Was Announced That President McKin- ley Thought the Measure Consti- tutional-Four of the Repub-
 licans Still Object.

Washington, February 26.-At the confer Porto Rican bill, assurances were given that the president believed the measure constitutional and would approve 1t if 1t came to him, and an agreement was reach- ed to limit the operation of the bill to two years and to reduce the duty imposed by it from 25 to 15 per cent of the American tariff. As a result the republican leaders claim that the bill will have the support of all the republicans except four, Messrs. Mccall of Massachusetts, Littlefeld of Maine, Lorimer of Illinois and Crumpack- er of Indiana, and that this loss will be off, set by affirmative votes of the opposition. They claim the passage of the modified bill is certain.
 After the conference adjourned at Ii o'clock Chairman Cannon gave out the fol- lowing statement of the amendments agreed upon by the conference:
 'sThe conference requested the ways and means committee to offer an amendment to the bill as follows:
 Amend the title ito make 1t an act tenn porarily to provide revenue for the island of Porto Rico and for other purposes, and ito add the following section:
 ''This act shall be taken and held to be provisional in its purpose, intended to meet a pressing present need for revenue for the island of Porto Rico, and is not to con- tinue in force after March 1. 1902"
 These amendments were adopted with practical unanimity. Another to reduce the duty imposed by the act from 25 to 15 per cent was adopted by a vote of 105 to Il. A further amendment is to be offered by the ways and means committee to make 1t clear that no double duty is imposed that the payment of one internal revenue tax is the total tax on dmportations. s''+7f
 Conference We'll Attended 7' '.1
 About 125 republican congressmen were present at the conference. The members had been in consultation during the day discussing plans for allaying the opposition to the bill and bringing the recalcdtra1lts into line. So much had been made by the kckers of the alleged opposition of the present measure that the members were especially desirous of being able to offer some assurances that would remove all ob- jections to the measure. on that score, and this evening several republican members of une ways ana means committee called on the president at the white house. After that call, MT. Hopkins, of Illinois, author ized the following statement of the presl- dents position: .e n -r..--..... ,z-s,Fa. 4..,.
 '.The president earnestly hopes that the republicans will unite and stand together on this measure and not allow the demo- crats to take control of the house."
 The republican members of the ways and means committee, together with Speaker Henderson, remained at the capitol can wasting the situation during the interim between the adjournment of the house at 5 o'clock and the assembling of the confer ence at o'clock.

WILL FORMULATE
 PLAN OF ACTION Dispensary Advocates Meet Be-
 hind Closed Doors. QUESTION TO BE FORCED Committee Appointed to Report Back to Adjourned Meeting Next Mon- day Night-Will Not Put Out
 Independent Ticket
QUESTION TO BE FORCED

Am adjourned conference of the friends of the dispensary system was held in the parlors of the Young Mems Christian Asso- citation last might behind closed doors. It was decided that nothing should be fur nished for publication so long as matters effecting the dispensary question in Jeffer- son county remained in formative state.
 w. D. Wilson presided, and Captain James D. Webb made Ia report on the effort of his committee to induce the democratic executive committee of Jefferson county to provide for direct vote for candidates for the legislature.
 A nuMlber of speeches were made and several committees appointed, but all that Chairman Wilson would discolse to The Age-Herald reporter was the fact that the conference intended to force the dispensayy question, and that plan would be {e- ported at an adjourned meeting to be held next Monday night, which would probably be adopted. Frank Leslie and others who attended the meeting were equally reticent when approached by the reporter. But one man admitted that under present polDtica1 conditions the dispensary question was not am easy one to handle. Various Ideas were advanced. but nany of them were deemed impracticab1e. It seems to be understood, however, that a working plan win be de- vised. and that soon after the oeaference meeting Monday a mass meeting of citi- zens wiu be called. ,.
 "Will the dispensary people put an in- dependent legislative ticket In the field?' the reporter asked of one of the men who took part In the meeting.

 The same man said the friends of the dispensary system felt reasonably sure that If the question were left to the white voters of Jefferson county now the dis pefsary would win.

EFFORT TO REVIVE
 SOUTHERN LEAGUE
John W. Bailey of Montgomery
 Feeling the Public PG1se.
TO VISIT SEVERAL CITIES
Says Montgomery is Anxious For Base Ball and Favors a Six-Club League-The Situation
 is Very Hopeful

John ". Bailey of Montgomery was in the city last night in the interest of the South ern league A party of Montgomery base ball fans have interested themselves in the matter. and MT. Bailey has been sent by them to other cities in this section to ascer- tain if the sentiment is for or against a league this season. Mr. Bailey was given assurances that if a league was organized that Birmingham would join it, and put a good team in the field. He will go to Chattanooga to-day, and from there he ex- poets to go to Atlanta, Columbus, and per- haps one or two other places.
 MT. Bailey is in favor of organizing a league of six cities. to include Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, and Selma in Ala bama; and Chattanooga, Atlanta and per haps Columbus and Macon If it Is decided that an eight club league can be formed. He says that Montgomery is anxious for baseball, and will come In with a good team.
 The Southern league. 1t will be remem- bered, was organized here on January 2S, and an effort was then made to form a league of eight cities. Birmingham, Sel- ma, New Orleans and Montgomery were represented, and the first three named cities reported that clubs were ready to be put in the field. Montgomery was not sure and a week after league officials were definitely informed that that city would not come in. Nashville had in the mean time decided to join the league, but four club league with cities so far removed from each other was not deemed practi- cable, and the matter was for the time abandoned.
 Mr. Bailey says that he has assura rances that Mobile, Selma, Montgomery, and one or two other cities will come in, and that a six club league can be organized with but little trouble.
 The prospects for baseball this year is not so hopeless as 1t has seemed the last few weeks.

 MT. Daly declared that he had never told State Senator Cullen that any man who voted for Clark would be published as a boodler and a bribe-taker." He also as- scented that he knew of no money being spent in the legislature for the passage of his bill, No. PA. 'I wish you would go into that" he added. 'tNeither the Anacon- da company nor the Amalgamated Copper company supplied a cent for that purpose. I believe that MT.
