tional Sunday School lesson commit
tee: 1T appears from petitions re-
ceived and from press notices that
there is an entire misunderstanding
concerning the attitude Of the lesson
committee toward the quarterly tenn
perance lesson. The committee de-
sires to say, first, that it has faith
fully carried out the instructions OF
the convention and prepared the
quarterly temperance lesson; second,
that it has never contemplated or
discussed at any meeting since its
appointment any proposition looking
to the discontinuance Of the quarter
ly temperance lesson or any modifi-
cation Of the instructions received
from the convention, and thirdly,
that the lesson committee has no
intention Of recommending to the
convention any modification Of the
present instructions concerning the
temperance lesson"

the delegates to the convention who

test against the use of tobacco.

Senator Aldridge, Of Rhode Island,
called up bill relating to tobacco,
passed by the senate, and moved to
agree to an amendment Of the house
providing that no packages OF man
ufactured tobacco, snuff, cigars or
cigarettes shall have attached to
them any representation or promise
Of ticket or chance in any lottery
or any immoral picture. The amend
ment was agreed to, thus passing
the bill.
A bill to ratify an agreement sub
mitted by the Kansas or Kaw In

A bill was passed to authorize the
secretary Of war to issue certificates
in lieu Of lost or destroyed dis
charges from the army.
Senator Deboe, Of Kentucky, then
delivered speech on his amendment
TO the resolution for the election OF
senators by the people, providing
that the qualifications OF citizens en-
titled to vote for United States SEN
ators and representatives shall be
uniform In all the states, and that
congress shall have power to pro-
vide for the registration of voters,
the conduct Of elections and the GER
tifying Of the result.
The exact time when the present
session Of congress shall come to q
close cannot be foretold until there
Is definite information as to when
an agreement will be reached on the
Philippine civil government bill.
However, the general concensus OF
opinion places the adjournment to.
morrow or at the latest Wednesday.
This prediction involves the opinion
that the Philippine conferees will be
able to conclude their work to-day.
That they can do that is quite EVIL
dent In view Of what already has
been accomplished in the way of
harmonizing the differences on that
bill and on account Of the probability
that parts Of the measure will be
dropped in case It should appear that
no agreement can be reached ex.
cept through prolonged exchange of
views. Neither house is disposed to
extend the session for more than q
day or two for the purpose OF see
ing agreement on all the features of
the bill when 1t Is felt on all hands
that the preservation Of no one fea'
ture of the bill is necessary to It's
success as a whole.
OF the appropriation bills the gen.
eral deficiency and the naval bills
remain to receive the finishing
touches. There are still some points
of difference on each Of these meas
ures between the two houses, but
none that cannot be harmonized
whenever the Philippine bill shall be
out of the way. Neither house will
attempt much other business. The
senate calendar contains number
of measures which can be discussed
md there is an understanding In the
mouse that the militia bill shall be
used as a basis for discussion to fill
in the time when conference reports
are not at hand for consideration.
There also Is an understanding that
the London dock charges bill shall
be taken up under a suspension of
the rules after the adoption of the
resolution fixing the hour for ad.
journment.

In your issue yesterday 1 find the follow

"A large number of mistakes were found
in the proof of the Secretary's annual re-

This misstatement was almost as painful
to me as was my dismissal from the Treas

were detected during the early part of De-
cember, 1900. I was relieved of the duty of
handling proof one year and three months
before that date, as per the following:

ager Of the Great Western Stove company,
is In the city and has placed with John
Latenser an order for plans for a new
warehouse and salesroom to be erected by

OF them. but the general plan is for a
pressed brick building, the full size of the
lot. six stories high. to include all modern
appliances used in a Wholesale and storage
house of this character. The construction
will be heavier than that Of the usual build
