children's study class and Northfeld has
found meeting once month in connec-
ton with the prayer meeting desirable
arrangement.
Attendance upon the annual meeting
as a Factor in Missionary Work" was the
topic of a general discussion in which
many spoke enthusiastically of it's i'm
portance. Mrs. George N. Makely Of st.
Paul had prepared a paper on the field
of work of the youngest missionary Of the
branch, Miss Sophie S. Holt, in Brousa,
Turkey. There was much interest In this
as the place and work have had q varied
and interesting history that was little
known to the audience. There are four
missionary schools under the Congrega-
tional church there at which very high
standard Is maintained. . The church is
self-supporting. After a special prayer
for Miss Holt, Miss Searle of Kobe told
how a gift from the girls of the Brouse
school had stirred the Kobe girls to form
a foreign missionary society. Miss Tearse
Of Winona spoke Informally Of the in
fiuence Of Turkish missions. ~
Miss Marion Darling Of Detroit gave an
inspiring and sympathetic paper on THE
Cry Of the Children" and Mrs. E. NJ
Williams of Chicago spoke on the press
and missionary literature. The program
closed with a question box conducted by
Miss Evans. :.. '' =:

lAW NEY WILL
CLOSE DEBATE
Final Words Of Insurgent
Side on Cuban Reel
procity.
snags Waiting in the Senate
That Promise a
Deadlock.
From. The Journal B.creuu, Koo,,, 60, Post

From. The journal Bureuu, koon, 60 Post
Building, Washin0to''.
Washington, April 17.-Representative
Tawney will close the house debate for
the beet sugar insurgents, summing up
the speeches on both sides and reviewing
the situation in detail. He will speak for
several hours, probably. He says that at
least forty republicans will vote against
the bill, but admits, as he has always
done, that the bill will pass. Enough
democrats will support it to make this
certain.
The difficulties besetting the Cuban con-
cession bill are by no means over, even
though it is taken for granted that the
house will pass the measure now before
it. The senate is pretty sure to make at
least one RADICAL amendment, and over
that the two houses may be deadlocked.
Senator Platt (Rep., Conn.,, chairman of
the Cuban committee and author Of the
Platt amendment, will not consent to that
provision in the house bill which requires
Cuba as a condition precedent to reci-
procity to pass the same exclusion and
| immigration laws that we have here. He
| believes that any attempt of this sort
would make to impose legislation on a
| foreign state as concession to reci-
procity agreement would break up all
prospects of harmonious business ar
rangement and would prove most dis
| turbing factor.
| 1t is assumed that the same men in the
senate who favor concession to Cuba will
follow Mr.. Platt in this matter of immi-
grafton, and that the bill as it goes out
of the senate viii be modified in this par
ticular. 1t may also be changed as to the
length Of time which the concession is to
run and it's amount. The house, 1t is
maintained, is under agreement to stand
for it's own bill, and to refuse to concur
in any substantial changes. This at least
has been the theory of the ways anc
means committeeman throughout the
fight The beet sugar people purpose tc
hold them to it,, as a party and political
necessity. In case each house holds out
stubbornly there would be deadlock ant
no legislation. This would please the
beet sugarites still more. The session will
be we'll advanced before the Cuban bill
gets up in the senate. 1t cannot possibly
get in ahead of the Philippine or cana
bills, both of which will provoke long de-
bate. Delay has been one Of the strong
cards of the beet men drarn the start.

Chippewa Falls Man says Ihere
Should BE No Treaty.
Washington, April 17.-Considerationo of
the Cuban reciprocity bill was resumed in
the house today and Mr.. jenkins (Wis.)
spoke on the political status of Cuba,
maintaining that there could be no sus-
pended sovereignty and that Cuba was
now under the political dominion of the
United States. Mr.. jenkins opposed the
bill because of our relations toward Cuba
were not such as to permit OF the pro-
posed reciprocity treaty.
Mr.. Warner Qll) was also against the
bill. He insisted that the measure was
not along republican lines and when ne
declared that at heart majority OF the
members on the republican side were OPP
posed to it, the insurgents gave him a
round of applause.
Mr.. De Almond (dem., Mo- made a
speech full of vitriolic comment upon the
attitude Of members.
Mr. Cushman (Wash.) made breezy
speech against the bill. He declared that
a majority of the republicans Of the
house to-day were opposed, although a
majority were undoubtedly convinced that
it would be better for them to be in favor
of it. He intimated that the speaker S
position was responsible for the change
of attitude of many Of the members and
followed with sensational criticism OF
the power exercised by the speaker.

the enacting clause and substitute therefor
the house bill already favorably reported.
This is simply parliamentary move to

conference after it is disposed of in the
house instead of being sent to the senate
for consideration again.
Senator Clapp and Representatives

ference before the committee met to-day.
The Minnesotans wanted the bill amended
so as to permit the sale of logs at public

The other men.gwould not consent to that
or any other changes. If the lumbermen

Special to The Journal.
New York, April 1.-THE copper trusts
directors, having returned from their
winter resorts, to-day cut the quarterly
dividend in two. The rate Of one-hali
of 1per cent will2be devoted to dividends,
s775,0OO out Of three months earnings
as against $1,55o,ooo in the December
quarter. This is what has been generally
expected, but since the announcement is
unaccompanied by any report of earnings
or any explanatory statement, the reduc-
tion in dividends adds nothing to the
public's knowledge of the trusts affairs.
In the past quarter the Amalgamated
has been selling stored-up copper at very
near cost. In the quarter ending with
December it is believed that virtually nc
dividend was earned.
