Lively Passage in Senate

Post Office Bill al Last Reaches Actual
Consideration In House.

Washington, April 11.--In the Senate
today Mr.. Aldrich expressed the opin-
ion that the end of the general debate
on the railroad rate bill would become
apparent before the end of the present
week and that then an agreement upon
day for a vote could be reached 1t
was announced that Mr. SpOoner would
reply tomorrow TO Mr.. Bailey's speech
of yesterday.
The session was almost entirely de-
voted to the consideration of the con-
ference report on the bill providing for
the final settlement Of the affairs of the
five civilized tribes of Indians and in
connection with that report there was
sharp controversy over an amendment
inserted by the Senate which pro-
vided for the ratifica ton of the dis
bursement of S1S6,000 of the Loyal

ceptional fact that the House was in
sistinS upon the retention Of a Senate
amendment from which the Senate was
apparently anxious TO rccede. The de
bate was characterized by a number Of
spirited passages between Mr. Tiilman
on the one side and by Mcssrs. Teller

Cordially Endorse Gov.
Cobb's Recent Speech.
Conference at Portland Listens
to Reports Of the Year.
Address by Bishop Moore on ChemuIpo,
First Russo Japanese Battle.

Portland, Me-, April 11.-Bishop
David Fl. Moore of Portland, Ore. to-
day opened the convention proper of
the Maine Conference of Methodist
churches by administering the Sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper. The con-
ference was preceded by an opening
meeting for 3-mnute reports from the
field at which Rev. ID. b. Holt of Bath
presided. The meeting was called "A
spiritual harvest Of the year" The
forenoon session of the conference
was busy one, there being much
business transacted in the organization
of the convention.
Rev. Wilbur F. Berry, president of
the Maine Wesleyan Seminary at
kentS Hill. declined to accept a re-
election as conference secretary, which
position he has held for II years. and
Rev. George c. Andrews of Intervale,
y. H., was chosen. Resolutions COM

work as secretary We're at once adopt

Reports We're made of the work for
the past year in the Lewiston and
Portland districts by the presiding ell
ders Of those districts.
Rev. r. c. Wentworth. presiding
elder of the Portland district. incor-
pcrated in his report a strong endorse
ment of Gov. Cobb's attitude on the
Stursis law and the enforcement of
the prohibitory law. He said
This has been year of the most
rapid enforcement Of the prohibitory
law our State has ever known. We
doubt II an open bar can be found
from our northern border to the New
Hampshire line. True it is that LIQUOR

otherwise when Maine has Portsmouth

Coy. Cobb has made himself i'm
mortal by that mastery argument de-
llvered in this county, 50 that no man
hereafter need to ask where the Gov
ernor stands on enforcement of the
prohibitory law, or the question of
1esubmission. The issue is drawn.
The battle is on. The forces divide.
we all take that side where con-
science and God together have trod."
RESOLUTIONS We're adopted. in re-
sponse to request of the Chestnut

u TRACK TEAMS
READY FOR B.Y.U.
First Contest of the Season Is
Booked for Cummings Field
This Afternoon.

The track teams of the University Of
Utah and the Brigham Young university
OF Provo will meet in dual track and
field contest this afternoon on Cummings
field. Both teams are in fairly good
shape and the meet promises TO be good
one. As the University men have not held
any contests this year, there is no way
OF getting a line on Just what the men
can can do. However, with such men as
moore, swap, BenniOn, and probably
: Adams the team will be d strong one.
IL has not been decided whether Adams,
the star pole vaulter and broad jumper,
will be allowed to compete. When the ar
Z engagements were made for the contest
something of an agreement was entered
into between the coaches of the two
schools relative to the entrance of the last
years Provo star. However, the matter
not be settled until the representatives, OF
the two teams meet today. Adams is
especially DESTROYS of entering the meet,
as he realizes that if he is excluded he

ter. the duty of defending the University
in the pole vault and the broad jump will
