said Father Crowley. Il have come to
live with the archbishop until such
time as l am assigned to a parish and
am given salary. This fine house
belongs to the people of the archdio-

Father Crowley. THE bishop is only

much consideration by the committee
was whether or not Chinese should be
excluded from the Philippines or
whether the whole proposition should

The committee agreed to retain the
provision of absolute exclusion. taking
the ground that the United States
wanted to retain the Philippines for

Washington. March 12-Overtures
have been made for compromise OF the
conflict over tariff concessions to Gu

two elements will come together, prob
ably on Il proposition to have the 20
per cent reciprocal reduction apply
for one year from next December. and
covering the sugar crop. 1t is under
stood that Chairman Payne and Rep
resentatiVe DalZell made the over
lures toward an agreement. One OF
the leading members of the opposition
said that Payne and DalzeH had
made the suggestion TO him, and had
asked for an answer. This was fol-
lowed by n hasty canvass of opposi-
tion members. which developed con-
siderable difference of views. William
Alden Smith said no compromise would
be accepted until after II meeting at
which it could be considered deliber-
ately. Tawney said the limitation Of
time was immaterial. and that no
compromise would be accepted which
affected agricultural products without
similarly affecting manufactured pro-
ducts.

mise We're made the leaders of the

hours. The sentiment was rather un-
favorable TO accepting the plan of 20
per cent reduction for the year from

present favored rejecting the plan. But
il was urged against this course that
so long as overtures for adjustment
