SENATE SPENDS DAY
 DISCUSSING BILL
First Section of Rate Bill Is Finally Disposed of-Anendments
 Adopted.

Washington, May 9-The Senate spent the greater part of the day arguing in the consideration of the question of divorcng the production of coal and other com modities from their transportation and closing that branch of its work by adopt
 ing modified provision formally offered by Senator Elkins. hut originally sug- gested by Senator McLaurin. There was again much sparring over parliamentary points, but there was at no time as much confusion as on Tuesday. and when the coal question was finally closed the prog ress was so rapid that the first section of the rate bill was entirely disposed of before the Senate adjourned. Other amendments were also adopted, but long and short haul provision, suggested by MT. I.afolette, was voted down by prac- licans voting against the amendment
 When the Senate adjourned there was a general feeling that the rapid work of the latter part of the session presages the early final disposition of the bill None of the Allison compromise amend ments were considered today
 After dsposing of the question of the transportation of coal. the Senate pro- ceeded to the consideration of other amendments to the railroad rate bill. vot- ing some down and accepting others, but acting on all practically without debate Following are the amendments that were accepted:
 By Mir E.lkins. requiring carriers to put in switches for shippers on reason able terms; by Mir. Bailey including sleeping car companies and express com panies in the bill by MT. Warner, provid- ing that it shall be the duty of car riers engaged in Interstate commerce to give equally good service and like ac- commentators to all persons paying the same compensation for interstate trans portation of passengers"
 One of the amendments voted down was that offered by Mir. Elkins requiring one road to make connection with others and to prorate with them. and another pro- vision thus disposed of was the McCum- Der amendment requiring railroad com panies to supply all the special cars re- auired for the proper conduct of its busi- ness.
 There was no division on either of these propositions, but roll call was ordered on an amendment by MT. Lafollette, giv- ing the commission jurisdiction over the long and short haul question The amend ment was lost D to 46. Most of the affirmative votes on this provision were cast by democrats. and the negative votes by republicans. Senators Cullom and La toilette voted with the democrats. and Senators Clark of Montana, and Gearin with the republicans.

GREAT CROWD HEARS
 REV. SHEPHERD SPEAK
African Fraternal Delegate Tells of Ills Work as Missionary In
 Congo Free State.

The unusual scene was presented in Birmingham last night of full-blooded African addressing an audience at the First Methodist Episcopal church, which was so large that standing room in the great building was at premium.
 The Rev. w. s. Shepherd, missionary to Congo Free State. and fraternal dele gate to the Methodist general conference from the African Methodist church, was the speaker, and for an hour and a half the audience hung upon his words as he related his thrilling experiences as missionary in the heart of the dark con- tnent Near the close, as he spoke of the great work of the church Is doing by making possible the spread of Chris tianity in that country, and appealed for more men to aid in the work of many, of tho prominent visiting church men as well as hundreds of the audience drew their handkerchiefs, so touching had been the speakers references to the need for further effort among African tribes.
 The speaker many times during the evening brought hearty laughter from his hearers as he related the novel habits and tastes of the people among whom he Is working Again he told of the cannibalistic tribes and their practices an involuntary shudder swept over the listen CTS.
 An interesting feature of his lecture was his exhibition of some of the weav- ing work done by the more intelligent of the Congo tribes. He also had speci- mems of the knives and spears the na- lives manufacture from the iron and cop per, which they themselves dig from the ground.
 He told of the manner in which the missionary work is prosecuted among the African people. and told of the difficult ties under which they labored.
 The speaker and his wife will soon re- turn to Congo to resume the work which they left some time ago for the pur- pose of visiting America.

HEFLIN SPEAKS ON THE
 WASHINGTON SUNDAY LAW

Washington, May 9.-(Special. )-Repre- in this city is meeting with warm sup port from the religious classes with the result that almost daily Mr Hehin is called upon to deliver an address on the subject At a meeting of the Founders Methodist church congregation this morn ing. MT. Hefin said:
 Tn this republic the voice of a ma jority of the people is supreme-the ma Jority rules. That a vast majority of the people in America sanction the observ- ance of the Christian Sunday is borne out in the fact that every state in the union except two has a Sunday law. Can it be that these states enjoying the blessings or a Sunday law will through their rep resentatives in Congress deny them to you? Will the members of this Congress vote for Sunday law for the District of Columbia? I have had many of them tell me that they would support my bll but the trouble is getting the committee to report the bill Go to your commission CTS in the District and plead with them ito report my bill to the committee .on the District of Columbia with a recommenda- tion that it be reported favorably to the House and l believe that the House will pass it.
 There are people in the District who look upon any day of rest as a useless obstacle in the way of their greed They Of course oppose the bill and agree that any man or woman who advocates 1t is a crank This modernized disgusting aris- tocracy of the dollar care but little about questions of good morals and religion. Their only pleasure comes in clipping coupons and their only music is the clink or dollars and dimes. You will find this crowd against the bill.
 This is q. Christian nation-declared so to be by the supreme court of the United tates. Our fathers and mothers have set apart the Christian Sunday as a day of rest. It has been observed and sanctioned by the usages and customs of vast majority of the American people. It is well that one day out of every seven should be designated as day of rest
 'To allow every sect, or society, to dis regard the Sunday of the American peo- pie. and carry on their labors us they do in the six days named in holy writ would be serious blunder and a foolish thing to do. When the foreigners come to America, they come knowing that this is a Christian nation, and that there is
The Birmingham age-herald., 1906-05-10

Sunday recognized by the law; and in stead of observing the time-honored and law-sanctioned customs of our people, we are confronted that the people should be excused from the observance of our day of rest-the Christian Sunday.
 We do not propose to compel them to worship on that day but we do object to having the Sunday of the American people ignored and made a day for com- mon labor
 Let us show to the world that in the mad rush after dollars and dimes that in the capital this God-fearing nation the Lords day shall be observed"
