CHURCH UNION is PROPOSED
Reformed Church Makes Oertures to
the United Presbyterian
General Assembly.

PIrTsBURG, J.ne 3.-The United Pres
byterian general assembly was agreeably
surprised by an overture for union with
the Reformed church.
1t came from Rev. Or. John S. Allen. who
said in his letter TO The assembly:
THE time Is opportune for the United
Presbyterian church to make overtures in
respect to a union with our Reformed
church. No two denominations in our land
are more closely allied than ourselves
Other churches, and notably the Southern
Presbyterian, have been soliciting the hand
OF the Reformed church. and while we
have not seen our way clear to a wedding,
We have promised to be a minister to sew
eral. 1t might be that the United Presby-
terian church, by pressing her suit ar
IDENTIFY, would be more successful"
The overture was received with unani-
nous favor and a committee will be ap-
pointed to make proposals for union.
The annual report on the state Of re-
ligion showed that last year there was q
net gain Of less than 1 per cent. The re-
port on foreign missions was then taken
.npi and discussed.

DIETRICH FOR BEET SUGAR
Nebraska Senator Introduces Bill CAL
culated to BENEFIT the West
ern Producers.

WASHINGTON, June 3.--senator Dietrich
of Nebraska, who stands with the beet
sugar interests in opposition to the reduc-
tion OF duty on Cuban sugars, as proposed
by the republican house committee on
Cuban relations, today introduced a bill on
the subject which he thinks will be ac-
cepted as a compromise measure.
1t provides that the differential on re-
fined sugar shall be abolished, but that an
equal amount shall be added to the duty
on raw sugar, and then 1t gives Cuba a 25
per cent reduction from this increased
duty.
The conference held at the White House
last night was discussed today by senators
and members of congress as having an i'm
portant bearing upon some of the leading
questions Of legislation.
In an authoritative quarter 1t was stated
that the tendencies disclosed at the con.
ference against any revision OF tariff sched
ules, applied only to the present session
Of congress and was due to the belief that
it would be inexpedient at this late day in
the session to enter upon such an i'm
portant field as a revision OF tariff sched-
ules.
1t was brought out in the discussion that
the men OF strong protection views, like
Senators Platt Of Connecticut. Hanna Of
Ohio and Mr.. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, were
not as much disposed toward a change in
the tariff as were some others present,
including the president, Senators Allison,
Spooner and Aldrich, and Representatives
Babcock and Overstreet.
Senator Dietrich says he has consulted
the president with reference to the terms
Of the bill and that it. is acceptable to
him. He had also assured himself that II
will be satisfactory to the senatorial
friends Of beet sugar. In statement re-
garding the bill Senator Dietrich says:
THE object of transferring the differ
ential to the raw sugar is that the diff
ferential is only a protection to the sugar
trust, which is only an importers trust
and employs no American labor and gives
it monopoly for debating the purchas-
ing and selling price Of sugar, which
comes to the United States, and enables 1t
to collect from the American people from a
half to three quarters of a cent profit on
every pound of all the sugar that is con-
sumed in the United States" a
He argues that the proposed reduction OF
20 per cent on raw sugar, leaving the diff
ferential on sugar to remain as It H.,
is just to the Philippine people, for he
said the Philippine reduction also granted
is fully Offset by the difference in freight
rates.
The senator says that 1t is the purpose of
his bill to compel those who have advocated
the Cuban reciprocity, which would injure
and retard the upbuilding OF the sugar in
dustry In the United States, to declare
themselves whether they are interested or
not In helping Cuba in helping the sugar
trust spectators and Cuban e0ploiters only.

WILL HAVE NO CUBAN INQUIRY
House Committee Votes TO Table
Resolutions Introduced by
the Minority.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-The house CON-
mittee on military affairs today voted to
table the resolutions of inquiry addressed
to the War department relative to expendl-
lures In Cuba. The action was on party
lines, and the democrats gave notice OF
filing minority reports. One of the reso-
lutions by Mr.. Goldfogle Of New York called
for detailed information OF expenditures
during the American administration in
Cuba; another, by Mr.. Bartlett OF Georgia
asked for information relative to salary
compensation, ETC.. paid to Governor GEN
eral Wood. third resolution, by Mr..
Slayden Of Texas asked for a list of sold
iers who had been retired soon after pro-
motion.
1t was stated that the action in tabling
the resolutions was because they were
looked upon as an indirect criticism Of the
administrations course In Cuba.
The house committee on commerce to-
day took action which insures favorable
report on the Nelson bill, creating a de-
partment Of commerce. The bill has been
pending for some time, and today MIR.
Stewart OF New Jersey tested the senti-
ment Of the committee by moving that
there was no present demand for the mea- =
sure. Mr.. Mann of Illinois offered an
amendment favorable to consideration and
reporting the bill. The amendment car
ried 7 to 4, and the committee then pro-
ceeded TO perfect the measure. AS 1t came
from the senate It provided for depart
ment of commerce and labor. BY a vote OF
s to 4 the provisions as to the labor branch
were struck out, limiting the new depart
ment to commerce.
The details Of the measure were some
what altered, so as to include other gov
ernment bureaus, as a means of preventing
duplication OF statistical and other works
Final action on the measure was deferred
however. until Chairman Hepburn and q
subcommittee can perfect the phraseoiogy
of the amended bill.
